THE POISON OF BITTERNESS

THE POISON OF BITTERNESS

For I perceive that thou art in the gall (poison) of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.  Acts 8:23
Those who are bitter for whatsoever reason won’t be able to breakout from the bondage of iniquity
Iniquity is the power of darkness that unable one to speak, act and respond righteously
Iniquity gives our carnal desires overwhelming power over us that though we don’t want to sin, yet we won’t be able to overcome the overpowering influence of sinful urges
To be able to break-out of the influence of iniquity, we must first get rid of bitterness and to get rid of bitterness, we must surrender our hearts to God, and forgive all those whom we think are playing the role of the enemy in our lives (those we assume hates us and we in turn hate them too)
Who do you think hates you? Who do you remember and your heart is filled with sadness and hatred? It’s time to forgive such a person irrespective of what they’ve done to you so that you can be free from the bound of iniquity, yes, so that you can be free from the overwhelming influences of sin to be able to serve God in righteousness and truth.
If your heart is clean of all defilements, you life would also (Heb. 12:15-16)
People become fornicators, drunkards; drug addicts etc. because of a bitter heart and bitter heart is the product of sadness and hatred for certain people the devil had whispered in your heart are responsible for your pain and predicament.
To live a holy life, you must gain back the joy of your salvation. There is no righteous living without a joyful living. As long as you have one person you’ll never forgive, one person you feel hatred and sadness over when you remember, you can never be free from the bound of iniquity.
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
