QUENCH FIRE WITH WATER When the house caught fire, people were shouting ‘bring water’ and as people gather with water, though it took a while, the fire was finally quenched. The best way to battle fire is by using water; fire services have water as their only tool for fighting fire. If everyone knows how to quench a fire, why don’t we know how to overcome, defeat and quench evil? Though the bible has plainly stated the right weapon to use in defeating the evil directed towards us by family members, friends and acquaintances, yet we don’t use it. When you fight fire with more fire, you increase the fire (fire doesn’t quench fire, it rather superimposes it i.e. makes it burn more), yes, when we fight evil with evil, we don’t destroy the evil, we increases it. People now in the name of prayer haul curses (evil tidings) to those they consider their enemies (those directing evil to them). When you cast back an evil intentions directed against you back to the sender, you multiply evil intentions, and not destroy it and hence a multipled version of evil intentions would be directed back to you. The only way to destroy evil is with good ‘Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good’ Ro 12:21 God doesn’t give to us what other wishes for us but what we wishes and prayed for in others. If we direct mercy to others, we shall obtain mercy, if we direct goodness to others we shall obtain goodness, if we direct health to others we shall obtain health and if we direct curses to others, behold, curses won’t cease from hurting us. It’s your desires for others that God brings to you and not your desires for yourself, so if you are wise, don’t wish people evil because they are evil to you or wished you evil (remember they get back what they wished you as long as you don’t wish same back to them). ‘But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Matt. 5:44. The only way to disarm the curse of the enemy is to bless the enemy. God bless you. Pastor Promise Ikpe Share the word To be getting these messages on whatsapp please add +2348081330585

EVIL

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
