I WAS LATE
One day I was to preach in different locations by 10 am and 12 noon of the same day. After honoring the first appointment, I was set for the second and instead of moving to the venue of the second program, I decided to take a little nap while seating and deferred my movement to the venue and the by the time I was awake, I was very late.
Like it happened to me, it would happen to many saints who are set for heaven but haven’t moved to the venue (appropriate place of relationship with God). The devil would convince many saints to take a little nap and not completely do everything they have to do not to miss out and make them forget that Christ comes soon. And when the consciousness of the urgency of Christ’s coming is wiped away, God’s children would lose their preparedness and thus miss out on the rapture.
…and having done all, to stand. Eph 6:13
I was set but I didn’t do all I needed to do not to miss out, instead of moving to the venue, I deferred that and took a nap, yes you are only prepared for God when you’ve done all that need be done, don’t let the devil stop from neglecting that little thing that still needs attention for you to be read for God.
Those who wouldn’t miss out on the rapture are those who live their lives daily as if the rapture would take place the next minutes.
Someone asked me, what would I do if I heard that the rapture would take place the next day, I said, I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Type sermons that I’ll post online, continue in my preaching appointment, follow my normal prayer times and continue till the rapture interrupts me.
If this same question is asked to you, can you reply that you are set, that you need not adjust anything in your life to become prepared?
If you’ve not prepared now, there is no dire minute preparation, settle that which you’d want to settle at the dire of minutes before Christ’s coming; if you are no ready now, you can’t be ready then.
JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON!!!
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
