BITTERNESS

By -

BITTERNESS CAUSED IT
Bitterness (prolonged anger and jealousy) is the emotion that fosters the activities of darkness. When we are bitter, we give space to the devil to kill, steal and destroy us. Neh. 8:10 says Joy is our stronghold (defenses). Whenever you lose our joy, we lose our stronghold.
When we are bitter, the devil will have access into our lives to carry about his activities, that’s why bad things happen to you during those moments when you allow bitterness to grow in your heart.
Nightmares, midnight attacks, strange disease, terrible sinfulness, falling into temptation with ease and so on are as the result of bitterness.
Bitterness comes when we refuse to forgive someone who hurt us, when we are jealous over the success of another person we think doesn’t deserve to be successful, when we allow the everyday upsets we get from work, the street or even in the church linger on in our heart and most times, bitterness comes without any reason, we are just bitter and can’t explain why.
Whatever is the reason why you are bitter; this year wouldn’t get better for you if you continue in bitterness. Bitter things happen to bitter people and it will continue to happen to bitter people till they’ve gotten rid of all bitterness (Eph. 4:31).
The first step of getting a better life is to forgive that person you’ve vowed not to forgive, avoid jealous by telling yourself that everyone deserves better than you and guard your heart from every trace of bitterness.
And whenever you are upset and thus loose your joy, that’s the moment you should pray until you’ve felt your joy restored.
God works in the atmosphere of joy (Isaiah 12:3) and we can only enjoy the benefit of our salvation (healing, deliverance, fruitfulness, successes and breakthrough etc.) during our moment of joy.
Never lose your joy this year no matter where the upset and offense is coming from. Never be envious of any body’s success and soon you’ll be basking in your success too
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
