CAN’T I WORSHIP GOD FROM MY HOME?

By -



Someone once asked me that question and his reason is because he thinks there are several people that are in the church that are still sinful. Then he quoted 1Pe 4:17 ‘For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?’
And he you see, God said Judgment will begin in God’s house, then I replied, it will also end there because if there is anywhere God has hope of finding any saint, it’s in the church and not outside the church. That you are in church attending your appointed times with God during each service means you’ve obeyed the command that says Heb 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another...”.
Those that are not in church on the service day have erred and if Christ should come and find them at home or in office, hell awaits them.
When you forsake the asemblying of brothers (church services), you have disobeyed the very command of God not to forsake attending services. Judgment will start in the church, and though not all church goers will go to heaven but anyone that would go to heaven must be a die-hard church-goer.
No man has an excuse to give to God for non-attendance of services (Rom. 2:1), if your job is keeping you away from services, then that job is keeping you away from heaven. The ball is in your court. Whatsoever that takes the place of God in our lives is an idol; don’t let, your job, house-chores, transport fare, and whatsoever reason the devil might lay in your heart to keep you away from any service.
Christ is coming back to rapture the church and it’s only those in church that has hope of being raptured.
God bless you.

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
