side with the word

*SIDE WITH THE WORD*
Some years back I was afflicted by sickness by the devil: My head was aching, high fever, general weakness, lost of appetite etc
It was Sunday, I had to preach in my church. One of my pastors came to my bedside and asked, how will the service go and I replied,' no changes, I'm preaching'
He helped me up, I couldn't bath because I could barely walk so I cleaned up and he helped me get to church.
I couldn't, join in the fellowship as I lay down watching them worship God. When it was time to preach I opened to Isaiah 53:5 '*...with his stripes we are healed'* and with my frail voice, I preached how Christ had healed us on His cross and how we shouldn't be sick. The devil was telling me that I was wrong and using my then health challenge as his fact. But I wouldn't allow him make me side with my sick feelings over God's word.
I may not looked like the healed of the Lord according to the bible, but I'll rather side with the bible than with my feelings, no matter how genuine the sick feelings are.
Then I told them,' *when your feelings is contrary to God's promise for you, stick to the word and not your feelings'*
Don't say you are barren if the word had said you were blessed to be fruitful
Don't say you are sick, if the word had said by His stripes you've been healed
Don't say you are a failure when the word had declared you a success
If how you feel is contrarily to what God has promised you, side with the word not your feelings.
After preaching, I was still sick, my pastor helped me get home but 10 minutes later those sick feelings had disappeared: I am hale and health
Perhaps its time to side with the word and not your carnal feelings and experience the miraculous.
Your destiny is in the word, not in what is happening around you.
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
