I ALMOST COMMITTED SUICIDE TILL HIS VOICE I HEARD
Was frustrated about life and was about to commit suicide. As I climbed up that cashew tree, the Lord spoke to my heart, not in a thunderous voice, no angelic presence, and no visible physical manifestations from God, but just a small still voice in my heart, a voice so weak that I could had ignored and kill myself anyway but I decided to listen to that voice. Though I was about to kill myself, but it wasn’t death that I really want, it’s a life of purpose and direction and the understanding of the pain and dejection I was passing through.
Many who wish to die or kill themselves; it’s not death that they really want but the life of purpose, and the understanding of the reason of their present misery and the reason they don’t find this life is because they seek it in themselves and not in God’s word.
After God spoke to me, the situation didn’t change, but my attitude towards how I responded to the situation greatly changed. After hearing God’s voice nudging my heart, I decided to look into the scripture and let God’s word strengthen me.
The reason what we pass through cast so much pressure on us is because of the way we are responding to it, especially if we are responding to it base on our understanding and not base on faith in God’s word.
Prov. 3:8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.
When we are under great duress and we are about to give up, lets trust in God’s word and not our understanding or that of the society or men of past who have passed through similar challenges and broke-down. Trust in God’s word, it will heal and refresh you
God bless you

EVIL

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
