HOW TO KNOW THE SERMON IS MAKING IMPACT

By -



Oneday I was so worried if my sermons would have effect and I asked God how will I know it’s having effect and God replied me, if its changing you then it would change your hearers. If the water doesn’t flow through you, it wont flow to others, if it doesn’t cleanse you it wont cleans others, if it doenst bless you, it wont bless others.
When I write, though I have more than 150 thousand potential readers daily, yet I don’t write primarily for them, I write primarily for myself, I rereads my sermons more than anyone else and comes back to it when I have a challenge am handling. And everytime I come back to it it blesses me and so am sure it will bless you too.
If the food is tasty to the one who cooks, it will be tasty to the ones who eat.
You cant preach courage if the words you say doesn’t encourage you, you cant preach giving if the words you preach doesn’t make you give, you cant preach righteousness if the words that you preach doesn’t make your live righteously, your cant prophecy blessings if your prophetic voice hasn’t blessed you first, its only when the scriptures has made you overcome sicknesses, immorality, anger, bitterness etc. that you can use its message to help others overcome same issues.
It is as you water others that you’ll be watered also (Pr 11:25), if you are not getting watered, you aren’t watering, yes, if the word isn’t changing then its not changing your hearers and readers.
If the words your preach doesn’t convert and convinces you, it wont convert and convince your hearers.
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
