MISPLACED PRIORITY

By -



We give our children food and we spend money for their education; we check on their health and ensure they do well in school but we don’t give them God; we don’t teach them Christ or ensure they faithfully attend church services just as we ensure they are healthy and well educated. We don’t care if they know how to pray, or have time for God’s word, but we’ll make sure they read their school books and do their school homework before going to bed. We don’t care if they have bibles but we ensure they get all the latest toys in this world. We don’t care if they know how to fast and exercise faith in God, but we make certain they are involved in sports or other body recreational activities.
When we raise the kids outside God, we prepare them for the devil’s use; they grow up to be hardened to their conscience and God’s word, they lost morality and lack the fear of God. They used the education you gave them to work for the devil unto their own destruction.
They end up as drug-addicts, sexual-perverts, arm-robbers, liars and drunkards etc. and when they die in sin, they go to hell and even face greater damnation.
As a parent, are you fulfilling your duties to these kids? Christ wants us to be more concerned about the spiritual growth of the child more than the physical because bodily (physical) training profited but a little but spiritual exercises profiteth in all things both in this life and in the life to come (see 1Ti 4:8).
The devil would want you to be only concerned over the physical training of the child and by that you’ll waste the life of such child in the future; you’ve only secured the future of your child when you’ve given that child Jesus Christ. Teach your child to seek God first, teach him how to be devoted to God and by that you’ll end up giving him the best training that would profit him both in this life and in the life to come.
When a child is well trained spiritually, he’ll become a profitable child both to the parents and to God and he’ll profit himself both in this life and in the life to come.
Teach your child to prioritize godliness over every other thing in his life and he’ll grow up having all things.
If your child doesn’t know God, that child is a waste of time and has no future until He receives Christ into his life.
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
