LETTER TO MY FRIEND WHO LOVES TO PARTY You love sun bathing in sea beaches and attending shows. You love the most sumptuous of meals in the best of restaurants. You love to wear the latest of watches, suites and necklaces. You can’t manage an old phone. Unless it’s a 3 star hotel, you can’t stay on it. If it’s not a bathtub, you won’t take your bath. Every scratch on your skin must be treated by the best doctors in the world. You must be in every party in town and every happening places If you don’t look like Beyonce or Rihanna you aren’t taking photos or allowing anyone seeing you This is the content of my letter to you He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:  he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. Prov. 21:17 You can’t be feeding your flesh and at same time expect your spirit to grow. Its either you feed your spirit or your flesh, the glory of one is the diminishing of the other. Christ so neglected His body that the scripture recorded th

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,

many have missed Him

MANY HAVE MISSED HIM When Jesus came to earth he was born in a manger, there was no room for Him because He came not as a political conqueror (the very image the Jews wanted God to come so that they can accept Him). Most churches wouldn’t accept Christ into their midst because He wouldn’t come as the pope or bishop or an image that meets their social class and spiritual ignorance. Are you sure you are not missing God because you are searching for Him through your senses? Are you sure you worshipping God and not nice decors? Jesus came from Nazareth where it is said that nothing good shall come from Perhaps you’ve missed the church where God is to the church where Music and Air-conditionals (AC), and most fashionable decors are. Perhaps that good church has no P. A. system or nice seats or things to make your stay comfortable or to fit your social class so you left for a bad one that appeals to your senses. People have no space for God because He was born in a manger and

how i got baptized in the Holy ghost

HOW I GOT BAPTIZED IN THE HOLYGHOST As a follow up to my post on speaking in tongues I want to give you a treatise on how I was baptized in the Holyghost by Jesus Christ. Let me first show you scriptures talking about the baptizing of the Holyghost. Joel 2:28 is when God promised the baptism of the Holyghost to every flesh, John the baptized recognized Christ as the one who would initiate it (mark 1) and Christ says believers in Him shall speak in tongues (the effect of the baptism of the Holyghost) as they believe in Him (Mark 16:17). Peter came to some group of new believers and asked them if they have received the baptism of the Holyghost (Acts 19:2), when then answered nay the Holyghost came on them and they were filled and spoke in tongues. On the great feast Christ promised that whoever believers out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water, He was making reference to the infilling of the Holyghost (John 7:37-39). When I knew about all of these I prayed for it t

language

WHAT LANGUAGE IS THAT? What you don’t understand will surely confuse you, an Adventist asked me in a caricature way, what language I speak when I pray in tongues. I wouldn’t blame him for ignorance, his church knows nothing about it and has taught him the very opposite of ‘tongues’ just like they’ve taught him about the ‘Sabbath’. Whoever knows the Holy spirit must know about tongues and Christ says those who believe would speak in tongues ( if you are not, you don’t believe in the right thing Mark16:17) and any church that teaches that ‘praying in tongues’ is false that church isn’t a true church of God. The baptism of Christ would result in the ability to function in tongue speaking. Tongue speaking is of two category (1 Cor. 13:1), tongues of men, as found in Acts 2 where those in the upper room functioned in and preached the gospel to the diversified crowds who came for Pentecost and the tongues of the spirit (of angels and apostle Paul put it) FEW FACTS ABOUT TONGUES I

simple

AN EASILY DECIEVED PERSON IS A SIMPLE PERSON: when you decide you’ll not do a thing because it leads to sin then you find yourself doing it at the slightest pressure then you are simple person e.g. When you’ve decided as a Christian girl that you’ll never wear compromising trousers and shortS and revealing cloths and then you were admitted into the university (or you went to a bigger city) where that kind of dressings is the trend of the day and then you forsake your decision and joined the trend, you are a simple fellow When you’ve decided not to partake in alcoholism and then your friend shows up and takes you to the bar and before we say ‘jack’ you’ve started drinking, it means you are a simple fellow When you’ve decided on a vision and when trials came you gave up on such vision you are a simple fellow When you want to carry on a fast for certain amount of days and at the scent of food you postponed the fast to whenever, then you are a simple fellow A man who is not stro

He answered me

HE ANSWERED ME In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.  Ps 18:6 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.  Ps 34:4 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.  Ps 34:6 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.  Ps 118:5 God is the God who answers when we call on Him in our distresses If you’ve called, He has answered because whoever asks for help from Him, receives help And no single prayer goes unanswered. And if you’ve not prayed, pray today and stop murmuring If you’ve prayed and you’ve not gotten help, pray again Pray with fasting Pray and ask fellow brethren in the Lord to assist you Pray and ask your pastor to pray for you Sow seeds and pray over the matter Check your spirit if you’ve don’t have any one that needs your forgiveness a

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR RESOURCES ARE SCARCE: learning from what the Apostles did (John 6:1-13)

Jesus Christ had been preaching for 3 days and the multitudes’ were now wearied because of hunger. Peter has asked Philip to go check and see how much he could raise and his brother to go ask for donations; if these multitudes must keep listening to Christ having stayed 3days already, they must eat. Let’s go through the sequent of events and learn what these Apostles did to curb the problem before them LESSON 1: They gathered every money left in the ministry’s purse and that which they donated within themselves and only gathered (200 Penny) they asked for donations from the multitude but they were so unwilling to donate but for a boy who gave out his (5 barley loaves of bread and 2 fishes). Till date, the multitude come to God for miracle and not for a relationship, they want to get from God but not give Him starting from their hearts to their wealth. I hope you are not among the multitudes who from time to time seek for what you can get only from God and not what you can give t
