HAVE YOU FELT SO DISCOURAGED THAT THE THOUGHT OF DYING HAUNTS YOU?

By -

Elijah felt the same and yes this feeling doesn’t just come, the devil through communication impresses it on us. 1Kg 19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow." Jezebel was the agency of darkness to spark up the feeling of depression in the life of a mighty prophet of God who has just achieved great feats for the Lord. The devil won’t bother the man who has no great exploit to accomplish in life, if the devil is stirring up depression your way it means you have a great destiny to accomplish which the devil won’t want you to and because as long as you are alive, you are bound to accomplish such task, he’ll communicate the desire to die into your spirit and keep reminding of your pains and frustrations to heighten the feeling of suicide or the desire to die in you.
God strengthened Elijah but he kept murmuring and God replied his murmuring by telling him that there were others who were facing the same similar life threats like him who haven’t compromised on their faith (vs 18) and yet he refused to walk in the might of the Lord and then God requested that his life assignment be place on another ‘…and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place.’ 1kgs 19:16
When God encourages you, answers your questions and strengthens you over and over again and yet you still insist on giving up, He’ll find another that’ll fulfill that mission He has earlier called you for.
Elijah was found in the wrong place because of depression; yes depression can make you do the wrong things like alcoholism, anger, immorality etc. God’s question to Elijah, is the same to you ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?" yes, what are you doing in that bar, brothel, yes what are you doing in the place of depression?
Get up today, what you are passing through is what you must pass through to get to your place of greatest as long as you survive in righteousness.
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
