LIVING WITHOUT THE SORROWS OF YESTERYEARS
Many years ago when I was the coordinator of a youth ministry, we do have night vigils every Friday night. The ways home are the long main road path which would take at least 1 hour of trekking and the short cut which is just a 20 minutes’ walk but is going through someone’s dog infested compound. We’ve learnt how to walk past these dogs (the dog won’t bite as long as you don’t run) so whenever I get to the compound, I’ll start walking slowly as the dog would surround me barking and smelling me and tempting me to try and flee which I won’t. My heart would be panting as I take each step till am past the dogs’ territory. One day, I heard the best news ever, the owners of the dogs moved out of that compound with his dogs and thus the walk home from the vigils becomes smooth (without anxiety and fear).
There are certain griefs and sorrows that barks and makes us pant in anxiety as we journey through life, making the next step becomes such a difficult task thus we become dull as life becomes boredom.
Isaiah 53:4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows…
God hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yes, those things which have been causing us grief and sorrow in the yesteryears, won’t be there again in this New Year in Jesus name.
Just like the dogs were removed and thus I could freely move undisturbed, Christ has removed on your behalf everything that’d cause you griefs and sorrows in this New Year In Jesus name. In Matthew 8:17 the scripture says, it has been fulfilled that the griefs and sorrows of yesteryears are no more in Jesus name. If God haven’t carried away thy reproach, and griefs and sorrows, the bible won’t say He did. If you believe God’s word, this year, the pains and shame of your past years shall be estranged from you in Jesus name.
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
