THEY WANTED TO MAKE ME HAPPY

She said, chose any hotel you want and tell us how many days you want to stay in it and we’ll make it done, we can make you spend a week in Dubai or France, I got a place there for you and someone to take you around any of the cities of your choice to see the choicest of places. Mention any food you’ll want to eat, any kind of food or drink, no matter the cost, I’ll make it appear before your table or take you to where you’ll have them. Choose any place you’ll like to visit between Nigeria, Dubai and France and I’ll take you there. Uploading pictures on facebook of me doing a holiday in the choicest of places in France or Dubai would be great, my online friends would see me as ‘wow!’ Sleeping in the best hotels would look pronounced, having a first class treatment would be splendid but nothing gives me more joy than the joy I’ve found each time I respond to divine mandates. I told her, when I lead someone to Christ, I am happiest, when I help the sick and diseased find hea

HIS BLOOD WAS HOT

Playing table tennis in our street few years ago, something dramatic happened, suddenly there was an uproar and one boy was wanting to join the fight, his friends were holding him trying to prevent him from engaging in the session but his blood was hot and he wanted to ease off, he said, ‘If I don’t fight, I won’t rest’, well he went to join the fight and 1 minute later, he was lying unconscious on the floor. We sprinkled him water and revived him; he was mute for a long while, now his blood has cooled as he has sustained concussions in his head. After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. (NKJV) 2sam. 13:1-2 Amnon wouldn’t consider that it was wrong to have Tamar because his blood was hot, till it resulted to his death. Reuben did same thing; he was sleeping with thei

my Friend Shena and I

My friend Shena and I It’s tough for my parent to punish me as a child then when I’m wrong if Shena was around and vice versa. When my mum wants to flog and punish me for doing anything wrong, my friend would come and kneel besides me and share in the pain; he would ask my mum to instead of flogging me all that she intends, to share it i.e. flog him half of the entire beating she intended for me. Flogging another woman’s child doesn’t go well for my mum and thus instead flogging and my friend, she’ll give up and spare me. Shena is a good friend who laid his comfort for me while our friendship last. We have the Good God who lays His life for us. John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. (NKJV) He died that you might live, refuse to die and now He lives so that you might live also. ‘…I live, you will live also.’ John 14:19 He was striped so that you might be ‘the Healed of the Lord’, refuse sickness because by His stripes you are

forgiveness

When God forgives  and remembers no more our past sins, He doesn't just stop there, He goes on to give us the expected future. Are you a murderer, immoral, homosexual, you committed incest/robbery, you've broken others marriage etc. And your life is slowly fading away because of the consequences of these sins, come to Jesus and He'll forgive you, remember nomore your past and give your the expected future. Life in Christ is no longer about our past but the future we want to b uild in Christ. Rahab started as a harlot and ended as the grand mother of Christ, it doesn't matter who you are but who you'll become in Christ Jesus when you surrender to Him. What about the consequences like Contracting HIV AIDs, becoming a single parent, having a bad reputation as an harlot or thief or murderer or abortionist, what if I've lost my womb etc. Christ says, everything becomes new. The AIDs would be healed, God wouldn't leave you to train the kid alone, your

MY READER SHARED THIS WITH ME

I had slept with my father’s daughter during one of the homecoming (December), we were drunk and it happened. She is a married woman and she didn’t have any child and as she was going around seeking for prayers for fruitfulness, a pastor told her it’s because we slept together that’s why she can’t have kids, she confessed to the pastor and her husband who later forgave her and now she has kids. My life is in great trauma now because everything that I do is just absolutely fruitless and I want to confess to and repent today so that I can be fruitful like she has become when she confessed too. Le 20:17 "If a man takes his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing, and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, he shall bear his iniquity. Le 18:6 ¶ "None of you shall approach any one near of kin to him to unco

WHY AIDS VICTIM STILL REMAIN SICK

Testimonies of people getting healed by God abound and yet few of the HIV victims still miss out on their healing. The power of God that heals fever is enough to heal HIV or any incurable disease. But why aren't HIV victim healed as easy as others get healed by the ministering of God's word. Christ answered Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men... Matt. 15:9 ...teaching for doctrines the commandment of men Accepting the teachings and traditions of men over God's word is the reason. When you believe HIV is incurable because men teaches that over the medias claiming its scientifically incurable you make God's word vain when He says, by His stripes you are healed. When Christ says He took your diseases it means everything called disease including HIV. Do you believe Gods word or the doctrines of men? Christ came not just for you to have eternity with Him but to enjoy your health while waiting for His advent.

SEE WHAT THIS CORN SELLER DOES WITH HER CORN

 I went out to buy roasted corn this evening when I noticed what the woman that sells me corn does. She occasionally give out free corns to costumers that comes later in the day to buy from her corn, I never knew why she does this before now, any corn she couldn’t sell on the day she roasted or boiled it, she won’t be able to sell it the next day so instead of wasting it like her fellow corn sellers, she would give it out free to win more costumers, that was how she won me over to be patronizing her. It is wisdom to give out what you can’t keep without it spoiling to win favours. This woman gives out any remaining corn because by keeping if over night the corn will spoil. Those stingy women that won’t give out their remaining corn would neither get more costumers nor their corns. Can you keep your life if death comes today? Drugs can’t heal when its death, money can’t save when your life is been demanded for. The best doctors die and their drugs couldn’t heal them, the best driver’s

TESTIMONIES

Blessing Umuahia shares When I sent you that seed, it was the only money I had and I have a bill to pay so I said, because the money I had wasn’t enough, I’ll sent it all and trust God to give me the amount enough to pay the bill. Two hours to the time the people I owed would come, someone came into my shop and gave me the exact amount I owed. Glory to God! When what we have isn’t bread (that which is enough to solve our problem) then it’s a seed God intend we sow. Charity south Africa shares: Thank you for the prayer, I wasn’t feeling well but after listening to the audio, I’m much better. (she had requested to give her life to Christ so I sent her an audio prayer that’ll assist her pray the prayer of salvation and God didn’t just saved her from sins, He also delivered her from her sickness) glory God. We shall always come back to testify what God has done. Pastor Promise Ikpe Share the testimony

the principles of fatness

THE PRINCIPLE OF FATNESS The world is in poverty today because she lives by the principle of savings and not giving. Its human sense to accumulate wealth by savings, but is it scriptural sense? What did the bible teach about getting fat and becoming rich in life? Prov. 11:25 ¶ The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself. God teaches that we’ll become rich by giving; we’ll get watered with blessings by watering others. When our heart is hardened or economical in the how we give, our receiving would suffer same faith. Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. No matter how much we’ve prayed and believed God for financial blessings, it’s until we give that the door of recieval would be opened unto us.   The child of God who doesn’t giv

LESSON 20

LESSON 20 THE RIGHT PREACHING ATTITUDE When we preach with the wrong attitude, we’ll get little or no results. In preaching, we must observe certain behaviors and avoid certain attitudes. When we preach with the right attitudes, we shall achieve maximum results. Preach God’s word with the right attitude results in the miracles: transformation of lives, healing of the sick, deliverance of the oppressed etc. PREACH WITH CONVICTIONs: conviction is displayed in your sermons when you are convinced yourself about such bible doctrine or truth. Your sermons won’t convince anyone if it hasn’t convinced you. In choosing what to preach, make sermons that had convicted and stirred your faith be your choice. An unconvinced man can convince no man PREACH WITH COMPASSION (Mt 14:14, Mr 6:34): if you are not moved by the compassion in your heart, you won’t achieve results. For examples, if you not moved with compassion that your hearers shall go to hell if you don’t preach the saving

THE CHURCH THAT CAN RAISE THE LAME

Christ built the church upon the confession and person of Peter (Peter was the head of the apostles because Christ committed the strengthening of other apostles unto him (see Lu 22:32)). The early church began by the baptism in the Holyghost, preaching and converting about 3 thousand people and raising the lame at the beautiful gate who was begging for alms (see Acts 2 and Acts 3:6). A good church must be the church that believes in the baptism in the Holyghost, preaches gospels that convert sinners and perform miracles on those bound by the devils or infirmed. Don’t excuse your church if she is not living up to these responsibilities in your life. Every true church of God lives up to these obligations. Change your church if your church is not changing you God bless you Pastor Promise Ikpe   To be getting these messages on whatsapp please add +263782895858
