MY FIRST HATRICK

By -



During my football days, I played for a club where the coach doesn’t believe in me, so I played from the bench. I couldn’t even trap or perfectly control the ball whenever he decided to throw me into a match. One day, another club came for me and I was loaned out. This new club made me the captain which was inappropriate because there were older players in the club than me but for the belief my new coach has on me he named me the captain. During my first four match with the club I couldn’t score so the rest of the team campaigned against my captainship and I was disbanded shamefully (the coach had told them that I score lots of goals that’s why he made me captain that I was new).
I was so ashamed of myself and almost gave up on playing soccer but I decided to try one more time, and in that very match I scored a hatrick (3 goals) to the shame of my teams mates who have protested that am a barren stricker that doesn’t deserve to captain them. It didn’t end their, I went on to score brace (2goal) in the next straight 6 matches. After the league campagn, I had 19 goals in 15 matches including those first four matches that I didn’t score. So I scored 19 goals in 11 matches and more than covered for those first four matches I never scored. The best time to try again is the very time you feel like giving up because you are now ashamed to try again, if I never played that next match because I was in shame and about to give up, I wouldnt have achieved my greatest success as a football stricker.
Christ achieved His greatest victory few days after He underwent His greatest humiliations, insults, abuse, and rejectionss. It was immiediately after His crucification experience that He achieved His greatest victory over the devil. Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Christ tried again because of the joy of succeeding in His mission on earth, yes for the joy of achieving your success, don’t give up, try again, you might just be close to your carreer making breathrough.
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
