CONFESS YOUR FAULT (principle of stronger relationship)

Image
CONFESS YOUR FAULT ( principle of stronger relationship) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  James 5:16 Relationship works when we confess our faults to one to another. Those who build relationship hiding certain facts about their lives would build such relationship to crash. Who we are now is the combination of our past and now therefore if we want to have any effective relationship with any, we mustn’t hide what has being about us. Be sincere and open about your past; the good, the regrets and the pains. Once you have any information about yourself you don’t want to share then you are setting an improper foundation for such relationship. For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.  Mark 4:22 Don’t wait till that dark secret or that which is faulty about your life t...

I BROKE DOWN

Image
*I BROKE DOWN* January was the worse month of my life and I pray I never have a repeat of it. There were lots of pressures and disappointments and betrayals that I broke down; for weeks, I couldn’t eat, sleep or commune with God. My heart was filled with bitterness and my mouth, murmur. My joints were painful and weak, my head very heavy and I was intensely losing weight. While I will be crying and shaking, people would come and see me; they’ll call me and will be crying on the phone recounting to me their various problems and as a pastor, I’ll clean up my face and comfort them and after dropping the phone or seeing them off, I’ll start where I stopped and continue crying; I couldn’t still comfort people but not myself. I tried confession of faith, it didn’t work and whoever I tried to talk to seems not to understand the pain I was facing inside. Then one morning, I read God’s word that healed my heart and as I was doing an audio prayer with the word (Rom. 9:14; God is...

PLEASURING YOURSELF IN SIN

Image
*PLEASURING YOURSELF IN SIN* This is how a wolf is killed in the northern hemisphere; you’ll put ice-blood in a very sharp knife and firmly put it inside snow. When the wolf sees it, it will be licking the ice-cold blood till it falls and die. The technique is, when it will be licking the blood, the sharp edge of the knife would bleed the wolf unknowing to the wolf. So it would be licking its own blood till it bleeds to death. This how sin is, we would be enjoying it without knowing that we are destroying our destiny and life till its too late Cohabiting without another man or woman whom you aren’t married to may give you all the benefit of marriage when in reality you aren’t married to that person yet and you are living together in immorality, while you may be enjoying the union, you may not know that you are destroying your life without knowing and soon, you’ll experience swift destruction You may be cheating people online (yahoo yahoo business as we call it in Niger...

IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP MAKING YOU FEEL GUILTY

Image
Are you in a relationship that makes you feel guilty? Whenever you are with the boy/girl you feel guilty in your conscience after it. What you discuss/do together though it makes you smile and happy yet you feel guilty after all Then you must quit because if it makes you feel bad about yourself then it will result in regret and pain. Whatsoever you are doing no matter how much pleasure and fun it gives you, as long as it makes you feel bad of yourself then that thing will lead you into bad things and damnations Whatsoever that you do that makes you feel bad about yourself no matter what fun and pleasure you derive in it, it will definitely lead you to destruction Repent and quit from such relationship and acts, call on Jesus and He'll save you.

HOW TO CONQUER BAD HABIT

HOW TO CONQUER BAD HABIT I heard people organizing programs for drug addicts in order to help them overcome their drug addictions, doing programs to help certain people get rid of anger, sex addiction etc. but they’ll keep failing because there is only one way to curb the problem of sin and sinful addictions and that means is Christ. “Mt 1:21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Jesus Christ is the only means God has ordained to deal with the problem of sin; no psychologist can help, no program or seminar or workshop, or body disciplining but only Christ. Do you have any issue of bad habit you’ll need to deal with; smoking, drugs, sex addictions, anger, greed, and lying etc. you need Christ because He is the only cure for sin. Only Christ would save us from the problem of sin. We have no excuse to continue in sin, not after God has sent Christ deal with the problem of sin. Don’t continue in that sinful habit, not wh...

HOW CAN I CORRECT ALL THE WRONG DECISION

I was talking with one of my readers that has made several wrong decisions in her life; she had has cohabited with several men, gotten pregnant several times and aborted them because she doesn’t want to suffer what she did suffer when she had her first child at 17. She is now infected with HIV and she couldn’t just see the way forward for herself. After she shared her story with me, she asked me, how can I correct all the mistakes I have made in life, all the abortions, immorality and even now am infected and their is no hope for me. I said, life is the sign of hope, that you are life means God still believes in your destiny and so I believe in it too. Then she asked again, how can I make up for all these wrongs in my past then I said, there is only one right decision that you’ll make that will make up for all the wrong decisions you’ve ever made in your time past and that decision is surrendering your life to Christ. Yes, when we give our lives to Christ, no matter the huge...

BECAUSE SHE WAS HEARTBROKEN, SHE BREAKS HEARTS

One of the readers that added me on whatsapp told me she has a problem having relationship with any boy. ‘I always hurt them’ she said. She hurt them by backing out of the relationship when the relationship is about to get serious. She has done it on several people and she regrets it because these people love her dearly and she loves them too during the stint of each of them. later she continued that she breaks these people’s heart because few years ago, the one she dearly loved, broke her heart by dumping her for her best friend, hence she is afraid all men would do the same and before they do, she unconsciously breaks out. Her fear that the past would repeat made her destroy her present and prospective future. Like her, many are punishing others and themselves because they fear what had happened to them in their past would repeat to them. They are afraid of committing and trusting because the devil keeps telling them that their former harm and hurt would repeat hence they ...
