SIMPLE RULE OF RELATIONSHIP- NEVER COMMIT YOURSELF

By -




But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men. John 2:24

Mr. Obi after betraying his brother because of money and having squandered all the money came back and asked for forgiveness, seeing the way the betrayal went, his brother at first refused to forgive him until his brother caught him attempting suicide and when his brother asked him why he wants to kill himself, he said that it was because of the weight of regret that he feels concerning what he did to him, therefore his brother forgave him.
With time, his brother gave him access to all his money having trusted him but to his disappointment, Mr. Obi his brother made away with all of his company’s money including the loan the company took from that bank and ran away and this made him forever broke and hugely indebted.
An un-regenerated heart is never to be trusted. A sinner cannot turn away from sin unless he has given his life to Christ. When a sinner sins, he behaves in accordance to his own nature; when a man is evil and regrets being evil, such man needs to give his life to Christ to truly change from that evil ways; forgive an evil person today, you’ll still need to forgive him tomorrow for the same offense and next tomorrow for similar offense because to err is a normal phenomenon to the un-saved human.
If a man is a cheat, he will always be a cheat no matter how many times he promises not to cheat again; a sinner can’t live righteously, it’s impossible, it is only the saved in Christ Jesus that can truly forsake their evil ways.
What should I then do when I discover that people are tend to keep harming me? Start praying for the salvation of such person and while waiting for divine intervention, don’t commit yourself to them. When Christ did a miracle and the Jews were cheering Him, He refuses to allow their temporary praises to let Him commit Himself to them. During the Palm Sunday they cheered Him and during Easter, they demanded for His crucifixion.
That he asked for forgiveness and promises not to do it again doesn’t mean he won’t do it again for a sinner has no power against the forces that leads him to sin; it’s only those that had given their lives to Christ that had received the power to say No to sin. Today he is begging, tomorrow he’ll commit similar thing again.
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
