FIRST BE TRANSFORMED

By -



Vashti has a problem with arrogance and she wanted to become a queen, well she finally became a queen but not for so long as her arrogance and pride made her despise the king publicly and by that she was dethroned.
Most of us want God to bless us instantly without wanting Him to first transform us. When Saul was anointed King, he ascended the throne instantly but because he wasn’t transformed, he lost the throne, when David was anoint king, it took about 9 years or so before he ascended the throne (during his nine years the Lord was transforming his life) and never to descend as his family kept producing kings. When we want instant miracles without instant transformation, the miracle won’t last. A woman came and was prayed for, and she got married in matter of months but her dress/party habit which she took into her husband’s house became the cause of chaos and divorce resulted, right now she wished she was never married.
You are not yet a wife yet you want a husband, you don’t yet know how to manage money yet you pray for financial prosperity. You desire to be blessed and not transformed.
Arsene Wenger once said, ‘give success to a stupid man and he becomes even more stupid’, yes, when an untransformed person gets the blessings of God, such blessings will cause further destructions in that person’s life.
Its better you are not yet blessed than getting and losing the blessing.
The bible says in Romans 12:1-2 that we should crave for transformation and not just blessings.
There is no need praying for a child when you can’t train and care for one. There is no need asking for a car when you are a reckless fellow. There is no need praying for a husband when you are not a wife material. There is no need asking for promotion in office when you can’t even lead well at your home; you want to be a governor when you can’t even be a good class monitor.
Let’s allow the transforming power of God to transform us then when the blessing comes, it will make us rich and add no sorrows.
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
