VOW OF SEPARATION

By -




Say to the people of Israel, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried.
All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. Numbers 6:2-4

Strong drinks included grape vines, vinegar etc. were examples of alcoholic drinks or strong drinks then but now, we have Ogogoro, palm-wine, beers etc. alcoholic drinks no matter how little the percentage of the alcohols is forbidden for those that wants to specially dedicate themselves to Jesus Christ.
Any man that decides to separate himself for God must also separate himself from alcohols no matter how little the percentage of it might be.
In Israel, this decision is called a special one because it is not forced on people but if anyone loves God enough to commit himself to Him, such person must separate himself from strong drinks.
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink. Isaiah 5:22. The bible had cursed those that drinks alcohols, and to avoid this curse, separate yourself from drinking and the company of those that drinks it.
In this time when people drinks alcohol like water and boast of how many bottles they can drink at a go, where whoever that doesn’t take strong drinks is regarded as a weakling, God is looking out for those that will separate there selves for Him.
Alcohol fills the mind; the very spot where the word of God and the Holy Spirit stays therefore whoever has filled his mind with alcohols can’t be filled with the Holy Spirit. That’s why it is called the special vow. When you’ve decided to give God your spirit soul and body then you shouldn’t taste anything alcoholic.
God is looking for true worshipers, yes, men and women that had separated themselves from defiling things for the sake of Jesus Christ.
Jesus was a Nazarene and we’ve been called to be like Him; a Nazarene (someone that had vowed to separate himself from alcoholics or strong drinks)
If you want to separate yourselves like Jesus, then say no to alcohols.
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
