THE MINISTERS MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL (TMMI)

A musician once shared a story that best reveals the wiles of the devil in limiting the manifestations of the sons of God. He said, “There was a hunter who went out to hunt, as usual. To his surprise, he found a stray lion cub and he brought it home to domesticate it.  When he invited people to see the lion cub and shared with them his intentions to domesticate it, they warned him that Lions are wild by nature and cannot be domesticated. He was advised to take the lion cub to the zoo and be rewarded for it, but he was defiant to their suggestions and advise. So, the hunter began to feed the lion cub alongside his puppies, For quite a while this seemed to be working; the lion cub became accustomed to eating dog food and playing with puppies as though it was one of them. The cub, together with the puppies started growing, and the hunter was very excited. His dream of domesticating the lion cub looked like a reality, though the lion had started developing fangs. Many of his elderl

A man who had been looking for job for a very long time received a proposal and was invited for interview by 2:00 pm. By 1:30 he started dressing up and by the time he got to the venue it was 2:30 pm, and he wasn’t in haste as he took his time and gently walked to the venue. By the time he entered the office, he was late, and the big boss who he was supposed to be interviewed by was just leaving. You came late the secretary told him, he looked at his wrist-watch and said, ‘no I didn’t’, ‘of course you did’ the secretary insisted, ‘no I didn’t, didn’t the appointment said 2:00pm?’,’ yes,’ the secretary said, ‘and what is the time now’ she interjected, ‘it’s just 2:35 pm’. ‘Your time was 2:00 pm and not 2:35 pm, you are late; she said, ‘it’s same thing, 2:00 and 2:35 pm’ he insisted trying to prove himself right about not being late. The frustrated looking secretary said, ‘well, when you are done arguing with yourself, you can leave the office’. This wasn’t the first time being lat

Some young people completed an international entrepreneurship course and were given $100,000 each to go to their respective countries and invest with that money base on the skills they've acquired. After 10 years, their tutor during the course called them respectively to know what they've done with the monies given to them and this was what he got: the British who was represented had a company worth $500,000, the American representative had a company worth $400,000 but the African representative had a duplex, a Range Rover Sport Car and less than $5000 in his account and was now seeking for a way to travel out of Africa to work for any company in Europe. What happened to you the tutor wondered at the African. We know what happened to the African, his problem is that he thinks like his fellow Africans. An average African cares more about looking rich and doesn't plan ahead. He came home with the money and built a house, bought a car and gold-watches and chains, accumula

I've waited on God over certain issues in my life that had taken so long. The issues of disappointment and shame that I was passing through no matter how much I've prayed and sought for prayers from other men of God. The pressure had gotten so hold of me that I thought God is disinterested in my affairs. So one night I started thinking of quitting, not quitting on the fact that there is God but on the one that He doesn't care for me. I started thinking of any other life I can have that means I don't have to depend on God on anything. While I was thinking, I saw in my mind the negative effect my loss of faith would have on me, and those who had been looking up to me as a christian. While there was a famine of miracles in my life, I've seen miracles in others therefore it would unfair for me to totally debunk the reality of God because I have not seen Him interfering in my own affairs as advertised. Then I got to a question that made me stop thinking o

A little child has the potentials of an adult, but the child will not be able to develop these potentials if he does not see a full grown man living in manifestation of the potentials. A child walks because he sees adults around him walking, a child talks because he sees adults around him talking, a child understands things the way the adults around him understands them, and so it continues. Jesus was able to perform supernatural abilities because of what He saw in the Father. Jesus was not learning about His abilities from earthly men like Joseph his biological father. He looked up to His Heavenly Father to see what He could do, and all that He saw His Heavenly Father do, He began to do, because He proceeded from The Heavenly Father. In the same way, we develop with what we see; therefore, the devil tries to make us look at the wrong things so we do not develop our superman abilities in Christ Jesus. If Jesus had looked at Joseph, He would not have manifested the abilities of

Nigeria NollyWood once acted a movie 'Died Wretched' where man had trained many  and have them set up financially. They all got married and started building their respective empires, soon this man went bankrupt to the extent he couldn't afford a meal for his young family. He tried contacting those boys he had helped when he was rich, and they kept deferring whatsoever help they've pledged respectively. Actually, this one was expecting the other to take care of the man and the one expected was expecting another person thus no one did. This man couldn't train his own children and because of the many financially hardship and hunger he was experiencing, he became sick; he couldn't afford the money needed for his treatment, he died . That was when all those he had trained and set-up in life came to their senses, they regretted never caring for him alive and decided to give him a state burial. The man who died because he couldn't afford 30,000 was buried on

‘Going Dutch’ doesn’t work in African dates. A young man had gone out on a date with a girl who invited her friends and told them to eat as much as they could. The young man had to use his ATM to redeem himself that day of the accumulated bills from the extra friends that came with the girl he had had a date with. Men are so afraid to take girls out for dates in Africa because they are afraid the girls would take undue advantages of them and when he dares take a girl out, he’ll devise a means to make her pay back in kind willfully or forcefully. This isn’t unique to the average African girl only; it’s a trait in the African to take undue advantage of people. Whether you are in Johannesburg or Lagos, Accra or Kigali, or DAR El Salaam or Harare, the spirit is the same, the average African wants to take advantage of you. As a prospective son-in-law, your fiancé’s family would want to milk you of life. Some African cultures never let you off the hook once you are married to their dau

A barbershop in the USA had a one-day free hair cut which an African and an European have the opportunity to be partakers, the next day, the barbershop received flowers and a ‘thank you card’ from the European and guess what the shop received from an African?; A long line of other Africans seeking for free haircuts. The African man would want to suck dry whatsoever means of food or help they’ve received without making any effort to ‘give back’ to the source in terms of appreciation. That’s why they tend to lose friendship, aids and financial partnership. The uncle of an African child is wary of the calls of his nibbling, the godfathers of an African would wait in vain for appreciation cards and the caring brother of an African man would be sucked dry. Wherever there are ‘freebies’ that’s where an average African man naturally queues up. He wants to take without giving back. That’s why the African falls easily to ponzi-schemes, Internet frauds and lots more. 4 out 5 Africans are

A poorly visited bookstore sits a sales-boy who relaxes on his sales seat playing games on his phone most of the days because people rarely visits his store to patronize books. He is only busy during school resumption days because of the compulsory text-books school demands students buy before returning to school. One day he saw an aged woman collapsed, she had had a cardiac arrest, and he was so fearful because few weeks back, his mother had suffered similar thing and before they could take her to the nearest hospital, she died. He thought this aged woman would die also, but one person he had recognized because he often visits the bookstore to read would show up immediately and conducted CPR on her. Later he asked him, ‘how did you know how to do that, when you aren’t a doctor?’, he said, ‘I had come to your store to pick a book that thought me how to perform CPR and know how to deal with some minor health challenges’ The boy started regretting living with books daily and not o
