THE CICADA

By -



I spent too much time viewing this beautiful, transparent winged, red eyed and singing insect called the Cicada. Its sound can go a mile (1.5km) and it’s such a wonderful thing to behold and listened to. These beautiful features of the Cicada can only last between 17 to 30 days it dies when it has a life cycle between 13 to17 years.
Why do we only enjoy Cicada for only 17 days while it actually existed for 17 years? What happened to the rest of the years?
It’s because it spends most of its life (17 years) as a nymph under the soil.
This will describe the life of most people on the last day; they will so delay in their decision to make a living out of life that they will have little or no impact on life.
A bulb can stay long in its bulb hole, it’s not until its connected to electricity that it will shine; during the period it’s on that bulb hole without electricity, its only existing and occupying space but hence it contacts electricity, its starts living.
You only exist and occupy space when you’ve not given your heart to Jesus, you’ll exist as a nymph without purpose in life just to eat, drink, marry and die, nothing more.
Romans 12 1-2 tells us that its only the word of God that can bring that needed transformation that will make us not just exist but to live for God.
As long as you have not given your heart to Christ, you are like that nymph that though has the potential to fly and sing would be imprisoned below the soil.
Your purpose in life cannot be realized unless you’ve given your heart to Jesus Christ.
The period spent outside Christ is a wasted time, rise up and give your heart to Jesus that you no longer be a nymph buried below the soil when you can actual fly above the earth as a transformed being.
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
