WINNING POINTS

By -



A very wonderful child of God was complaining to me how life has being so harsh on him; he told me about the rejection from his dad for not choosing a course he wanted, he told me about how his relatives wouldn’t help him out, he continued by telling me how her fiancee has left him for a wealthier man after he has spent so much for her in his little income and as he continued, tears started falling from his face, even now that he has graduated, all his mates have gotten jobs except for him. And ended up and said, ‘and have been faithful to God the best way i have been graced to’
I started smiling and told him, you are winning points in life and he replied, what do you mean by winning points? I said, like in a game, when you started scoring early, the odds of winning the game will be falling towards you. All these you are narrating means only one thing; you are winning the points that would make you great in life.
Each of the struggles you are encountering are the very thing that are giving you winning points in life; the rejections, frustrations, heartbreaks, delays etc. are God very way of giving us a head starts to greatness in life.
Every man God made great had similar encounter; Moses was cast into the river, Jephtah was chased out of his father’s house, David slept in the cave for about 7 years, Abraham was barren for years etc.
When God is interested in shooting you farther in life than your mates, this is the only way He does it.
Ro 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
All the saints of old become conquerors through sufferings and persecutions and rejections and frustrations therefore when you are facing similar things as a Christian that loves God dearly it’s because you are on the pathway to greatness.
Each disappointing situation you pass through in life are God means of giving you a winning point. It has always being through faith and endurance that we shall posses the promise (Heb. 6:12).
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
