KILLING HIS FEARS

By -



A young smart youth was afraid of killing a rat caught on a rat gum, the first time the rat gum caught a rat, and he went and looked for someone in a distant place to come and remove the rat and kill it for him. Now his rat gum has caught another rat, he came before me and don’t know how to tell me to come and remove and kill the rat for him. After standing without saying anything for a long time he managed to say ‘please daddy, come remove this rat for me and help me kill it’. I looked at him and said jokingly, a big person like you can’t kill a small rat, what happened that you can’t kill a rat, he said when he was a child, he was bitten by a rat and since then he has been afraid of rats. I now told him to face his fears and overcome it by killing that rat caught on his rat gum. He picked courage and went to the rat, stayed for like 45 minutes before this incapacitated rat prior to him stretching out his hand and courageously bringing out and killing the rat. He was so fulfilled that he killed a rat that night; rat killing might not be a great thing to do but to him it meant more that killing a rat, to him it is killing his fear of rats that has made him a coward and a never grow up.
The best way to overcome our fears is to confront it. I was almost drown in a river as a child and I had the fears of seeing talk more of entering any big river because of that experience but one day I didn’t know what came over me, I went to that particular river that almost drowned me and dived into it and swam around it, came out and left. Though I stood at the bank of the river for like 3 hours before I actually take the dive but the good thing was that I took the dive and conquer the fear that water bodies has instilled on me. Since after that courage swim as I called it, I’m no longer afraid of water bodies as I was before that courage swim.
My friend don’t let the devil make a coward of your person by allowing the devil to use your past to hinder your now and future.
But as for the cowardly… their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death. Revelation 21:8
Heaven is no place for cowards, if you let the devil make a coward of you because of a bad event in your past then the devil has succeed in hindering you from going to heaven. Rise up and conquer that fear today by facing it, remember you can do all things through Christ that engraces you.
God bless you

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
