MADE HOLY

By -



Pastor, am born again and even control a church but I cant still overcome lust and anger, it keeps hurting me even when I don’t want to fall into lust and anger I just cant control it. Why are my like this? Please help
I replied, that’s not how you are but how the devil had made you look like. The reason we struggle with sin is because we still believe we are flesh and blood but the truth is, we are spirits clothed with flesh. Just like your clothing can’t control your body rather your body controls your clothing so does your spirit control your flesh if you are born again. It’s not a struggle between the spirit and the flesh but your ignorance of the fact that you are spirit functioning in a body. Why Christ said that the disciples were willing but their flesh were weak was because they weren’t born again then (Mt 26:41), they could only be born again after the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. When you are born again, your spirit gains ascendancy over your flesh and you are no longer controlled by your flesh rather you control your flesh from your spirit.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. Eph. 1:4
Your nature as a believer is that that can’t be made unholy, or faulted by the urges of your flesh unless you chose to reduce yourself into carnality and the life of sin.
If you’ve given your life to Christ, your flesh immediately ceded power to your spirit but if you don’t know that your spirit is now in-charge, your flesh would be usurping power and controlling you.
If you are born again, let your spirit arise by declaring its lordship over your flesh, don’t let your flesh usurp the power given to your spirit.
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
