HOW TO RECOGNIZE GOD’S LEADING
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. John 16:1-3
Christ told His disciples about the persecutions they would be receiving from ministers of the gospel who will be sincerely persecuting them in the name of rendering service unto the Lord. Like these ministers who will be working against the purpose of God with the mind that they are rendering services unto God, many would deviate from working for God and begin to work for the devil with the resources God gave them to work for Him.
It’s a terrible thing to use the resources God gives to us (wealth, wisdom, strength, anointing and gifts etc.) to work against God and many are working against God without knowing therefore, we shall be stating how to know you are working according to God’s leading and not against the leading of God.
Every means God uses in communicating and leading us can be faked except for ‘Peace’ and ‘Joy’. So when we are right with God, we’ll experience peace as God leads and Joy as God rewards (Ro 14:17).

Peace is defined as when the soul is at rest. Christ said ‘Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (peace)’ Matthew 11:29
God’s yoke (like yoking or preparing a donkey for work) can be seen as His assignment for you. When He is leading you in ministry, your soul shall be at rest (peaceful).
Peace is the signature (mark of approval) of God over any ministry and actions that He approves. God speaks through dreams, through prophetic voices, visions, circumstances but nothing is more accurate than peace. In our journey as Christians, we need to understand this so that we don’t lose the leading of God because’ Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God’.
Whenever as a child of God you begin to lose your peace it means you’ve begin to live in error and out of the will of God for you. Don’t do jobs that makes you lose peace, don’t be in a relationship that doesn’t give you peace, don’t dress or be in a place that makes you lose your peace etc.
Isa 55:12 says ‘For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace…’  God’s leading is identified when there is peace and when there is no peace then God is not in the picture.
Isa 48:22 reads ‘There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked’. Whenever we are doing wickedly (things that are not in accordance to God’s leading) the bible says there won’t be peace. Never lose your peace, always be in the will of God for you, always allow God continue to lead you and you’ll always be at peace.
Joy is God’s commendation for a job well done. God brings your spirit into ‘the joy of the father’ whenever you’ve successfully done something He had lead into through peace (Mt 25:21).

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
