MARTHA!

By -



Anything you are doing that’s taking you away from the place of fellowship with God is en-burdening your soul with much more cares and entangling your life with much stress.
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. Luke 10:40-41
Christ told Martha that she is troubling herself by working and serving when she needs to be fellow-shipping. No matter how noble the work is, no matter how honourable the purpose is, as long as its taking away our fellowship time with God, we are inviting many troubles into our lives.
When we fellowship, the stress and burden of yesterday would be lifted from our shoulders and we’ll be graced to face the challenges of tomorrow. Life becomes hard and difficult when we place God by the sideline or get partially connected to Him (you are either fully connected or totally cut off of God) and the burden of yesterday’s stress plus the fear of future challenges would begin to weigh us down till we are broken down and destroyed. Don’t be Martha that was serving when she is supposed to be fellow-shipping, be Mary who left what she be doing to fellowship with Christ, she sure made the better choice.
One thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42
when you fellowship, you get the good portions of life, a portion that shall not be taken away from you but when you serve when you are supposed to be fellow-shipping, you just chose the ugly portion and every wealth you made when you are supposed to be fellow-shipping would be taken away from you.
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
