HE SUFFERED TO GIVE YOU REST

By -



In Christ we’ve entered rest and ceased from all our labors just like God did when He finished creation on the sixth day. All those who are still burdened and heavy laden are those who haven’t come to terms with the rest Christ offers, they are the ones who want to work their redemption from the pains and sufferings in life; they want to work out their success, they want to work out their marriages, they want to work out their breakthroughs and victories in life and they end up carrying on their shoulders burdens too heavy for them and as they fail, they try again and again till they cant go on and they devil suggest suicides to them. Oh I wish, we understand why Christ suffered on the cross, oh I wish, the whole world accepts Christ’s offer of rest.
Pr 13:22 ¶ A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children...
God is even a better father; don’t you know that He had left inheritance for you? Why would Christ say ‘Mt 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest’ if He hasn’t done all the workings and stressful part and wanting us to have the resting part of life? Why not stop trying and retrying and thinking ways on how to make things work, why not think on how to rest instead and ceased from the life of labor and heavy laddeness.
A good father works, and hands over inheritance to his son so that his son wont have to pass through the harshness of life like he did, yes, Christ suffered so that you wont suffer. Are you suffering, why not stop and request for the rest Christ has freely made available for you, start seeking to know your inheritance in Christ Jesus (Col 1:12) because Christ bequeathed inheritance to you the day you got born again, an inheritance that meets all you’ll need in life and godliness. Hallelujah!
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
