HOW DO I KEEP SURVIVING SIN?

By -



She has given her life to Christ severally and fallen each time, so she asked me after telling me how she couldn’t go a day with immorality. She said, pastor, its hard, do you mean I will never have sex till am married? How it’s that possible and how are my going to achieve that? I have tried to stop severally but fail to do so, instead it gets worse.
This too might be your question, how are my going to stop lying, stealing, masturbation, drinking, cheating your spouse etc.
Don’t think on how to be spiritual clean for one year, think on how to be spiritually clean for one day; today.
God provides the grace not to sin just for a day only (Give us this day our daily bread mt. 6:11). Stop thinking on how not to sin tomorrow but just think on how not to sin today because God’s holiness provision is just for today.
Christ told His disciples to ask God to give to them their daily provision (bread), yes, ask for the daily provision of God (grace) to see you through life’s temptations just for today. Every morning consciously ask for the grace to get things right, consciously ask for the grace not to fall into the pressure of sin. Christ didn’t say God would give us provisions for a year because by that, we won’t need to ask Him till next year but Christ said God would only give us for today because by that we shall always be appearing in His presence everyday.
Someone ones asked me, how come you’ve kept yourself all these years, I said by keeping myself just today and another today and another today and I achieve that by meeting with God every day in devotion.
No sin today; then ask God for the grace not to sin today. Ask God for the grace to get things right today and you won’t know when you’ve lived the rest of your life pleasing God and yourself.
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
