THE ATHEIST SAID ‘IT’S CHANCE’

By -



Atheist: what makes you believe in the fairy stories of the bible?
Me: because I know the author.
Atheist: it’s the Romans that wrote the bible to deceive the world.
Me: deceive the world from what? It’s the Holy Spirit that used 40 different people from various times even before the Romans empire existed began putting together the bible and He used about 40 people from different generations, cultures and occupations because it’s not about the channels used but because of the source: the Holy is the author of the bible.
Atheist: why do you so believe He exists?
Me: because when I pray to Him He answers.
Atheist: that’s a stupid assumption, give me an instance.
Me: I was diagnosed of a deadly disease in 1992 and all the hospital and doctors couldn’t diagnose what’s exactly wrong with me and they wouldn’t admit me for I was sure to die, but I woke up in my room while the hands of our pastor was on me; God healed me instantly by my pastor’s prayer.
Atheist: its chance.
Me: yes its chance, I grew up with a lot of guilt in my heart for the many evil I couldn’t hinder myself from doing despite the guilt in my heart till I prayed and God gave me His peace and took away the guilt from my heart and empowered me to live above sin thus I’m free from sin and guilty conscience.
Atheist: that’s not a fact; any things could provide explanation for that.
Me: yes, but each time I ask for anything I get it.
Atheist: things like?
Me: (I opened my inbox and showed him the testimony from various people about how God answered their prayers, those cured of bleedings, sickness, a boy that his eyes was restored, delivered for masturbation and immoralities, those their homes were restored, how someone that had planned to murder herself rescinded because of the word of God to her etc.)
Atheist: anything could explain for their solutions
Me: can you suggest to me one of the ‘anything’
Atheist: I don’t know
Me: I know, its prayer and the God that answers when we pray
Atheist: why hasn’t God done anything about the problems of the world?
Me: despite this problem in the world, will you like to continue living in the world?
Atheist: yes, I still want to enjoy life
Me: and who is responsible for the things that should be enjoyed in life?
Atheist: not God for sure, it’s the government that provided it.
Me: then God is not responsible for the problems in the world; it’s the government that created it.

If I pray and get the solution and atheist says its chance, then I’ll rather keep praying and getting solutions by chance than be quiet and die in my problems.
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
