STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR STARTING POINT

By -



Jephtah started as the son of a harlot who was never allowed a place in his father’s inheritance, he actually spent his life in the caves growing up with other societal outcast.
You may have being born under a cloud of rejection and dejection, and not having the basics things of life  like other privileged children are getting, it doesn't matter, Jephtah also started on a wrong foot but ended up being the Judge and ruler of Israel. If you can hold on to your dreams and stop blaming circumstances for not giving you the basics, you’ll still achieve your destiny in life. Whether you believe this or not, there are those who were more less privileged in life than you and still made it in life.
Rahab started as a harlot, for whatsoever reason; maybe she was raped when she was small and then this overwhelming sex urge took over her and she became a harlot, maybe no money or job and she started selling her body to men, maybe some evil spirit possessed her and she couldn’t control herself or may she grew up amidst harlots and she learnt it etc., the fact was that she started her life as a harlot but because of her encounter with the servants of God, she ended her life not as a harlot but as a great woman. That you’ve already made a name in evil; drug addict, prostitute, armed-robber, cheat, liar etc. doesn’t mean you can’t change that name and be a better person.
No matter your family and childhood background, you can still make it in life, even if you lack the basics; love, education and opportunity, you can still make it in life, Jephtah didn’t have any of these basic necessities of life and yet he became a king.
No matter the mistakes you’ve made in your past life: now you’ve become a single parent, drug addict, drunkard, sex-addict etc. and you’ve given up on yourself on becoming useful in life, I tell you, Rahad also started on a wrong foot and made several mistakes and became a prostitutes but she got hold of God’s word and later became useful, her name was listed as the great grand mother of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God still have a space for you in His book of great people, and that you are alive is the sign He still believes in you that you’ll finally place your name in that book. Only stop complaining about your starting point, today is the first day of your life, yesterday is gone, let it go with your mistakes too.
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
