DARE YOUR FEARS

By -



Sometimes we fail to do the right thing because of threats of evil. In my secondary school days there were students prefects wouldn’t punish no matter the offense because they were related to certain teachers. One of such students crossed my path and I dished out punishment to him and he wouldn’t do it, so I seized his school-bag and he went and called a teacher for me, the teacher told me to give him back his bag and I said ‘no’ until he serves his punishment. The teacher threatened to make me fail my next exam and it would be my final exam, it was much of a threat but I refused to be intimidated. When the boy saw that the teacher couldn’t help and I have being with his bag for days, humbled himself and did his labour.
The teacher went ahead to carry out her threats; she came to my exam-hall, told my form teacher (the one incharge of the exams) not to allow me take the exam, the form-teacher asked me out but when the teacher left, called me back to continue taking the exam, I said ‘no sir’, that am not taking the exam and if I fail it, he would produce my question-paper and explained why I failed it. Well, I passed though never took the exam but most importantly, I was no longer intimidated by teachers and others learnt not to be too.
Through the fear of being harmed and killed, the devil has subjected men to lifelong bondage but Christ came to deliver as many that have being subjected to the bondage of fear through threats of hurts, failures and death.
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
When you can’t do the right thing for yourself; for your happiness and future because of the threat of failure, hurt or death, then you are under the bondage of the devil, the very bondage Christ delivered you from and you can only experience the deliverance by daring your fear. Cowards have no place in heaven (Rev. 21:8). If you are afraid of doing the right thing for the fear of hurt and pain, then you’ll goto hell. The freedom Christ brings belongs to the fearless.
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
