IS THIS THE MAN2

By -



In our neighborhood as a kid, we move in packs. Any adult that was reported to our group as been wicked, we device a mean of getting back on such adult and this is one of the things we do. We find a tiny rope (we use tailor’s black sowing tread) and tie to a black waterproof (we call it walkin-talkin in Nigeria) that we’ve designed to look like a snake. Few of us sits with that adult we planned to punish while another stays in the bush or any hidden place around. So, the one in the bush pulls the rope and the waterproof like snake towards the adult, one of the kids points the snake-like object to the adult and shouts Snake! Snake!! The adult would run and we have our laugh later on. But one day, this adult was with a torch-light and we never knew, so when the one shouted snake, he pointed his torchlight...we are now rounded up and serving our punishment; thus ended that game in that neighborhood till we grew and went our ways.
When he switched on his torch light he found out exactly what he is up against, a fake powerless object posing like a snake. Christ is the true light that lighted the world; it’s when we switch on the Christ (look into the word of God for the true nature of the devil) then we would know exactly what we are up against (a defeated, powerless and dethroned man). The bible descriptions of things is the real description of such thing and there is no portion of the scripture that says the devil is powerful enough to torment the born again child of God. Infact in the last day when people shall see the devil for themselves Isaiah14:16  records the looks on their face when they  see him ‘They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms’. They wont even call him the devil, or any special name describing one big and powerful entity but they shall call him with a puzzle look ‘man’. The puzzle look would be because the devil would be so small and powerless and harmless than they have believed or expected him to be. Don't wait till then to know how powerless the devil is. Col. 2:15 says he is harmless to you because Christ disarmed him and empowered you.

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
