I KNOW
I know that when things are hard, our countenance would be low and our soul wearied.
I know that sadness is the most likely mood of our spirit when things are awry.
I know that pains and hardship causes sorrows and heaviness of heart.
And I also know that the devil magnifies our problems to the effect that our sorrows know no bound.
But if we must fight our way out of these challenges, it must start from within, it’s only when the storm within us is calmed that we can calm the storms without.
It’s only when we’ve conquered in our spirit that we’ll conquer our world without.
The power of God functions in the atmosphere of Joy (Neh. 8:10) and we can only draw out our salvation with the means of Joy (Isaiah 12:3).
When you allow the devil steal your joy, you’ve ultimately allowed him disconnect you from the workings of God’s power and your sole means of obtaining salvation from your misery.
Someone wrote, ‘it’s not the water without a ship that sinks the ship, it’s the one within’.
When the Apostles were drowning, they weren’t drowning because there was a storm; they were drowning because they allowed water to enter their boat.
No matter the tempest, if your boat let no water in, it won’t sink, though it may shake, yes, no matter the challenges in your life, if you don’t let bitterness encroach into your heart, you won’t sink.
It’s time to eject that bitterness out of your spirit, if you must conquer; you first need your joy. Those who still have the joy of the Lord have the strength of the Lord
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
