THE EXPERIMENT ON SOME KIDS

By -



An experiment was conducted on some 4 years pupil in a school through a 30 year period. In their class, the kids were given an apple and told that whoever can wait till their class teacher comes back will get another apple but whoever eats his own before their teacher gets back won’t get another. Some kids immediately without thinking of the offer started eating their apples, some other kids waited a little and when they felt their teacher delays they ate theirs but it was only few that waited till the teacher was back and got one more apple for their patience.
Later it was discovered that it was those kids that were ready to defer eating their apples till the teacher came back that went on to be great people while those others that couldn’t wait became nothing of note in life.
That ability to defer pleasure it’s a quality of greatness in any person.
Sex is good and as early as 12 most people will be mature for it but it’s only those that can wait till they be married that will benefit mostly of it and those that won’t wait may even destroy their lives and bodies before getting married.
The psalmist wrote ‘...at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore’ ps. 16:11
God wants your pleasure but illegitimate pleasure is no pleasure at all. If you can’t be patient for the right time and condition of pleasure, if you can’t sacrifice little pleasure for greater ones, then you won’t be pleased at pleasures at all.
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12
Like the kids that got more apples for not eating their first apple before their teacher came so it will be for whomever that defers immediate pleasure, they will get greater pleasure in the future.
Impatience is the spirit of destruction, watch ye your spirit.
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
