DEALING WITH LOSSES
If you’ve never lost anything important to you in life, then it’s a matter of time.
 The lost of fiancé, husband or wife, job, wealth, health, honor, child and position etc. can be very devastating. It had led many into despair because they were never able to adjust to their losses
Someone asked me some time ago, why do God allow a Christian to suffer losses? I looked as the person and replied, is so that that Christian might learn that his true identity is not how the world sees him but his identity in Christ, is not his properties but his faith.
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.  Deut. 8:3
God caused the Jews to suffer lack so that He might teach them that man shall not live by bread alone but by every promises of God over that man. You suffer losses because God wants you to learn the real source of your life and destiny; He wants you to know that your destiny is in the word
God wants us to depend on His promises during the time of losses and lack in our lives
Instead of allowing despair take over your life, you must lean on God’s word over your life. Keep declaring His promises; God want you to know that you can enjoy your life by talking His promises; you can live above the lack of all things by meditating in His word.
What are you doing during your time of loss? Are you murmuring which leads to despair or talking God’s word which is able to alleviate you above such loss?
Job was blessed with double of all he lost because he never lost his faith when he lost his wife, children, wealth, health and friends, yes if you don’t lose your faith in God’s promises, everything you’ve lost would be restored back to you in multiple fold.
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
