THE LOVE OF MONEY

By -



The love of money is when we reverence and honor the means of wealth than God the giver and source of wealth.
All the wealth of this world belongs to God, the gold and silver. ‘The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts’. Hagai 2:8
Christ has showed us what to do to get silver and gold from God, He said and I paraphrased ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and silver and gold shall be added unto you.’ Mat. 6:33
If because your business is yielding and for the reason of the wealth coming from your business refuses to close it during your pre-appointed worship days and times, you’ve become a ‘lover of money’ than God.
If you have to sin so do sales, bribe to get money, cheat etc. because of money, you are a ‘lover of money’ than God. Etc.
It’s called prostitution (excusing our worship days because of our business days) or idolatry to reverence anything more than God.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Christians aren't told to covet and pursue after money, we are told to pursue after God and we’ll be given money, those who seeks after money have erred from the faith without even knowing and the embarrassing thing about seeking for money at the expense of God is that though we get the money, we are pierced with many sorrows. No one can actually be wealthy and happy as same time by seeking after wealth at the expense of God. Don’t be deceived, it makes no sense going after wealth at the expense of God because you’ll be ladden with many sorrows even if you get the wealth.
No business or job or devil can make you as rich as God can make you if you seek Him first.
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
