THAT IT HAPPENED BEFORE

By -



Someone shared this story with me when I noticed she was afraid of taking the front seat in a bus. She said she was traveling to a camp program with one of her girl friends and they were seating on the front seat when the bus had an accident with another bus and this girl beside her died instantly and since then she became so afraid of taking any front seat, whether in a bus or saloon, whether she is tries seating on the front seat, the fear gets reignited and the whole event looks like happening again.
Like her many have set limitations to themselves because of a previous awry event that happened before; my former club captain stopped taking penalties because he missed a penalty kick during a crucial finals, and I became afraid of water bodies because somethings ago I almost got drowned.
Whatsoever be the reason why fear has been planted in us, its of the devil setting limitations in our spirit from enjoying the freedom and sound mind God has given to us.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
The way I conquered my hydrophobia was that I went back to that water body where I almost drowned and jumped into it, and as I swam through that spot where i almost drowned, I conquered that fear of water bodies till date. You just need to face that fear to be able conquer. If you’ve failed an exam woefully before or someone you think is better than you did and you are afraid of registering for that exam, then you’ve been placed under bondage of the devil.
Refuse that spirit of fear, the version of you that faced that horrible situation in the time past that has planted fear in you isn’t who you are now. Now, God is you conquering everything that has conquered you in time past, God is in you defeating the weapons the enemy has used to defeat you before. ‘...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world’. 1John 4:4
That it happened before doesn’t mean it would happen again, rise up and conquer that fear.
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
