NOT OF THIS WORLD

By -



I was in Nigeria when the Ebola news broke-out and especially that early morning when every news channels was saying if anyone doesn’t drink and bath salt-water, that the person would be infected with ebola because as the news goes, it’s airborne. I remember my dad calling me and asking me to make sure I drink and bath salt water; I remember the town council making that early morning announcement to everyone to drink and bath salt water in other to avoid ebola. Everyone I know in my neighborhood was drinking and bathing salt water except me and few Christians I spoke to not to. When someone asked me, why aren’t you moved by this ebola epidemic? I looked at the person and replied I may be in this world, but in reality, am not of this world; the diseases that fly around in this world don’t infect me, am a different breed. Hallelujah!
We may be in this world but we don’t belong here; the principalities and powers of this world can’t work in us.
1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The poverty, the attacks, the tribulation, the scarcity, the seduction, the fear, the diseases etc. that’s in the world cant be at work in us because Christ in us is our victory over the world. When you hear news of evil sweeping across the world, the bible says ‘Ps 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling’. Don’t follow the world to be murmuring and complaining about the problems in the world because you don’t belong to this world though you are in it and the powers at work in this world is a lesser power compared to the power at work in you. Glory to Jesus!.
When we look at the world, don’t see something bigger than you to handle, rather see something too small for you to handle; that’s how I see the world, from the mountain of God’s word. Amen.
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
