withdrawing a vow

Image
WITHDRAWING A VOW God is so interested in our various vows with Him and our fellow men; when you give a promise, how far do you inconvenience yourself to make such promise good? God is faithful and true and He inhabits with men who are faithful and true. Sometimes you may make a pledge because you have the hope of getting perhaps money to make good such pledge, then the money didn’t come or there were other issues that came up, what did you do afterwards? Forget about your pledge or vow or inconvenience yourself to make good on your word? In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.  Ps 15:4 When you honour God, you’ll make a promise and fulfill it even to your own hurt and discomfort and you won’t go back on your promises. One of the signs of the last days is that men would be fond of betraying their vows and promises; they’ll be traitors (2Tim. 3:4) Have you made a vow to...

CURSE WITHOUT A CAUSE

Image
CURSE WITHOUT A CAUSE … so the curse causeless shall not come.  Prov 26:2 Curse is the opposite of blessings and it interferes with every of our affairs in life in the most negative way. When Christ cursed a tree, it died; when something is cursed, it ceases to exist or yield fruit. While some curses are inherited from our parents, most curses are self inflicted. No man can lay a curse on you unless you’ve given such person a cause and no man can bless you unless you’ve stirred the person to. These are certain instance when we are the reason for the curse we are suffering: 1.     When we kill (Gen 4:9-11): murdering brought curse for Cain and will do so for you; aborting a baby, killing someone and then getting away with it etc brings curses on us. 2.     Speaking evil about a man of God (Num 16:32):  Korah and company we destroyed because they spoke against the man of God, yes, when you speak ill about a man of God for whatso...

HE WALKS SO FAST

Image
HE WALKs SO FAST Those who walk side by side with me always think I’m in a hurry because my steps are quick and I seem always in a scurry. I didn’t just become that way; I acquire such behavior from Pastor Matthew. When I was 7, I walk with him to the church most evenings and Sunday morning and when I get to church, I’ll be panting, this pastor is so fast I have to jog while following him. Who we are and where we’ve gotten to in life is as a result of those we allowed to lead us, yes, those we’ve followed for a while. When we follow those who walk fast, we will be swift When we follow those who are slow, we would be sluggish When we follow those who are going nowhere, we’ll remain nowhere That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  Heb. 6:12 God doesn’t want you to be slothful and slow motioned in life, be careful who you are following in life. You can never be faster than whom you follow; if you are queuing...

soon it would be over

Image
SOON IT WOULD BE OVER One day God told Noah that soon the world as they knew it would be ran over by the flood, that information changed Noah’s perspectives in life as He concentrated his strength and wealth into building of an Ark that would grant the opportunity for the salvation of animals, himself and whoever who was willing to take refuge from the great waters which is about to rain. This is what wise people do, when they hear that soon the world would be over, they change their perspectives in life; they make the pursuit of their salvations and that of others their main priority in life. While others are investing for destruction because they lack foresight, spiritually wise people would be investing for eternity. _Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:_  mat. 6:19 Did you know that the anti-christ government would use monies and properties of people who refused to invest in...

LOVERS OF PLEASURE

Image
*LOVERS OF PLEASURE* The bible warned that on the last day many would be lovers of pleasure (2 Tim 3:4) and betrayals of trust and marital fidelity and would want to self indulge in all the desires of the flesh like partying, masturbation, alcoholism and all carnal indulgences etc. Whoever that is loves pleasure would come to want and nothing (prov. 21:17); he will end up destroying his future, his health, his respect, his home, the life of his children, his wealth, his ability to love, his relationship with God and worse of all,  he will be eternally damned in hell unless you repent Whoever is bounded by his or her desires for carnal pleasures and that has been eating him up and destroying him daily and causing him to betray his marital fidelity and relationships with God, can turn to Jesus and be saved from that bondage of sin. If you have no control over the desires of your flesh and its destroying all that is precious to you, turn to Jesus and He’ll save you. G...

THE STAR THAT NEVER SHINED

THE STAR THAT NEVER SHINED I had a friend that was extra-ordinary skillful with the ball, as players, we know who is better than another and during 5 asides, he is the first to be  chosen but today,  he doesn’t make the cut because he is unfit to play and what’s the reason? He hates to exercise and jug. Like him, there are many around us who are now unfit in life not because we lacked the necessary skills and talents but because we are too lazy to read and study books, to exercise our body and mind, to train our voices, to learn some skills and acts, to discipline ourselves in the pursuance of a particular course in life. We are distracted by immature relationships, partying, addiction to drugs and masturbation and immorality etc. Many who would had been better football players than all those that we celebrate today are roaming the streets begging for bread, many who would have been better musicians than those we honor today are working as salespersons in small shops a...

living by thy feelings

LIVING BY THY FEELINGS Eve fell because the fruit was pleasant to the sight and Samuel almost anointed the wrong person as king because he looks kingly if not for divine intervention. David the ordained one didn't look kingly, Samuel almost made a mistake. Are you about to make mistake in thy choice; you are chosing base on outward comeliness? Isaac loved Esau because he eats of his hunts not because Esau was the ordained of the Lord to inherited the blessings of Abraham. Are you chosing because of the material benefits you are getting? Bribe blinds the mind. Don't collect from someone you can't oblige yourself to. We shouldn't make choice base on our sensual feeling even in science, you don't determine temperature with your hands because its unreliable. Divorce are everywhere because people are marrying base on wealth, social class, education and other physical benefits. Scams are everywhere because we don't analize business proposals, we just invest...

every day has its blessings and curses set for it

Image
EVERY DAY HAS A BLESSING AND A CURSE SET FOR THAT DAY De 11:26 ¶ "Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: If you know how with what agency the devil leads men to destruction on day to day, would you do anything to avoid him? If you know how God communicates His will to you on daily basis, would you pay attention? The devil leads us through fleshly lust and pride. When we respond to the lusts of our flesh in spending, eating, and fulfilling its urges or when we speak and act in pride, we respond to the leading of the devil. When you led by the devil through your flesh, you encounter curse for that day (the curse set for that day) And when we respond to our daily scriptural inspirations, we respond to God’s leading which lead to the blessings of that day. We can’t get inspired unless we read God’s word or sermonettes like these. Any day God’s word didn’t inspire you; you are on your own (you’ll never pick up the blessings of that day). Do well to study G...

BATTLING SUICIDE

A very successful man was asked what his greatest challenge in life is? In reply he said, keeping myself from committing suicide. When asked why, he said, he thinks that success is in accruing more and more wealth but the more wealth he accrues, the more meaningless wealth becomes to him and the more the urge to kill himself increases. Without God ‘the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep’. Genesis 1:2. When there is darkness, no matter how wealthy we are, our life will be without form and void. You will keep battling the urge to kill yourself until you let Christ into your heart and let Christ give meaning to your living. No man can live with the understanding that his life is meaningless (void and formless) that’s why such a person desires to die though he has all the wealth in the world. But when God handled the earth, the earth now got a meaning and a purpose; the place of worship and fellowship for all mankind. When you give y...
