TRUST IN GOD

Whatever you trust in, is what you serve and worship. If you trust in man, you will definitely worship man, if you trust in riches, you are automatically worshiping riches because what you trust in is what you depend on.
Jesus said in His words, "you cannot serve two masters, God and mammon" you choose one.
Many claim to trust in God but are actually relying on the connections they have. Its easy to say u trust God when the connections and money are there but the issue of truly trusting God is when nothing seems to be available and your only hope is to depend on the invisible to provoke the visible.
Trusting God entails having total faith in Him and calling those things that are not as though they are..for some trust in connections, some in riches, some in knowledge but you place your trust in the highest connection in the order of the heavenlies.

Who do you really trust in?

THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE

Your words of truth may only deaden hearers unless accompanied by the power of the Spirit. Our teaching and our sermons, unless empowered by the spirit may hinder rather than bless. A demonstration of the Spirit is what is needed not ordinary words "..for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."(2cor3:6).
The truth backed by the Holy Spirit is what commands conviction. Crave for the infilling of the Holy Spirit and see how souls will turn to Christ through you..
Stand in God's presence before you stand before men. Only when you come from the presence of God can you lead men into the presence of God.

ACTIVATE YOUR PRAYER ALTAR!

No number of revelations is a substitute for intercessions. No quality of preaching can be a substitute for prayers. If Jesus could not manifest without prayers, then who are you to say you can. Many motivate others to pray, but are prayerless themselves. Revive ur prayer life and you'll be marveled at what heaven has in store for you.
Every message you preach not born from a prayer altar is message from your head and can never convict your listeners.
Is ur prayer life weak and you can't seem to revive it on ur own? Get a prayer partner... By all means, try to activate ur prayer altar and most of all pray in the Spirit always...
Prayer makes you a fire brand, before the opposition comes, the way has already being made. Prayer keeps you ready aforehand, prayer gives you access to the throne of grace. The devil never gives notice before he attacks, but prayer keeps you ready... Wigglesworth said "I never go more than thirty minutes without praying".. Prayer keeps you in the spirit always..

This generation needs prayers as we are on the verge of a revival outbreak where the church of Christ shall be as one. Don't lose ur stand in this move, ACTIVATE YOUR PRAYER ALTAR!!

THE ARMY OF THE LORD

Let me share what I see about this Generation... The Lord showed me in a Vision a desert and there came a mighty flood and the people rejoiced because the Lord had caused rivers in the desert (Isa 43:19) and then in a little while Jesus appeared in the sky coming for His people and i was glad for whoever calls upon His name shall be saved...... The Lord gave me the understanding that in these days He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2) which was the significance of the flood.....

We are in the days preceding the coming of the Lord and the Lord has vowed to raise giants out of this generation, such as never been seen in previous generations and in the next. Our generation is the pace-setting generation, I tell you with all authority, The Lord has vowed to use YOU to reveal His Glory here on earth and to cause catastrophe in hell, because we are all together going to empty HELL.

We are in the generation of them that seek Him, the Lord has assured that He is raising Giants in the Finance, Agricultural, Engineering, Ministerial, Entertainment sectors, all in the ARMY OF THE LORD. An army unstoppable, an army unbeatable, an army that knows no retreat, a forceful army of the Lord raised to bring vengeance on wicked forces. For His word says "Shall the prey be taken away from the mighty or the lawful captives delivered? But Thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered, For I will contend with them that contend with you".

The Lord has sent me to alongside many others reading this to raise this wonderful army for Him and believe me, we will not rest until you make that Army. For He said they shall be called a new name, The Redeemed Of the Lord (Isa 62)

The Lord assured me by His word saying "Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus saith the Lord God: "Behold O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up from your graves and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people and brought you up from your graves" (Ezek 37:12).

Awake thou that sleepest my fellow comrades for the time is now! I say to you in the name that is above every other name YOUR GRAVES SHALL BE OPENED!

BEFORE YOU SAY YES!

Each time I give counsel to youths about waiting on God for a life partner, i hear replies like; "I don't really believe in this waiting on God stuff", "God told me he/she's my life partner but there's no positive response from him/her", "he's very caring and i know his family too well, he definitely is the one", "I'm too old to start waiting on God for a life partner, I'll take any good one that comes my way" etc....

What I have come to discover is that many youths are in a serious dilemma when it comes to the issue of relationships, some end up making the wrong choice of marriage and later discover they married a beast. So I'll just make it easy for as many as are concerned with this issue of utmost importance. 

I'll give you steps to knowing if your partner is the right one for you and perhaps if you don't have one, these will help you.

1. Know your Purpose: before you even think of getting a life partner, you should at the very first know why God has created you and the purpose he meant for you to fulfill: "where the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable". If you have no idea where you are headed in life, everywhere may look like it and every guy or lady may look like the right person. Most times your true life partner usually has a connection with your purpose or vision. You can't marry someone who totally opposes your Vision or purpose.

2. Wait on God: I believe this is where many get confused because they always expect to hear a thunderous baritonic voice from heaven while some complain of getting no answer from God. You don’t always have to hear a voice although could be one of the ways He answers you , could be in dreams, visions, human witnesses but you also need to be careful to know the source of these. This is the reason building a relationship with God is very important, some folks have never even developed acquaintance with Him not to talk of a relationship with Him yet when issues come up they run to Him like they’ve been with Him all the while. Build a relationship with God and get to know how He communicates with you but most of all reach Him in prayers for your future partner. One secret to getting answers concerning your future partner from the prayer altar is by going to God neutral, with an unbiased mind. Don’t  have your mind already made up about a person and then go to God to ask if he/she is the right one, you’ll probably hear yourself not God. Some already get involved romantically (very wrong) with the person and expect to get direction from God, you'll most probably hear your flesh. When asking God for the right person, go to Him plain, neutral and unbiased, God does not commune with an arrogant spirit.

3. Check for Peace: check within you if there is supernatural peace in your spirit each time you are with the person or praying about the person because whatever comes from God must be accompanied with peace of mind and ease. If you are feeling anxious, unrest about that person, you should watch, God might be telling you something.

4. Vision Alignment: be sure to check if your visions align with each other. Believe me when I say this is very important, it’s your major security for future peace. Marrying someone who opposes your vision is fatal, Amos 3:3 says "Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?  Take time to know your vision, your spouse is just on your way to fulfilling that vision.

5. Make yourself Approachable: hmmmmm, my dear brethren in the Lord there is a huge difference between Spirituality and Physical appearance. The fact that you are Holy Ghost filled, tongue blasting, bible loaded, Fire brand Christian does not mean you should dress in an awkward manner. You are addressed the way you dress. Make yourself presentable, pay attention to the various areas in your body, clean up yourself, and watch the odour that comes out of you. Just picture a man with a stench mouth odour walking up to a well dressed sister telling her “God told me you are my wife”, well her reply would be simple if she were me, “God told me I’m not”. No matter how spiritual you are, your appearance matters.

6. Character: Be conscious of your character, anointing is different from character and cannot replace it. Anointing gets him/her for you, character makes him/her stay.

Try your best to put all these in place and you are on your way to building a successful marriage. But if you’ve still got questions, you can send an email.

A SHOUT OF RESTORATION!!

Woe to the Pastors and Shepherds who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool but you do not feed the flock. Thus saith the Lord: "Behold I am against the I am against the shepherds!"

For how long, when will true worship be restored to the church of Christ, all we hear now are tailored sermons to please the crowd. Eloquent sermons without fire are all we hear. The Gospel has been turned to a seed sowing spree, the church has become a den of thieves, anointing that was got free is now for sale. Woe unto you if the Gospel is for your own illicit gain, thus saith the Lord!. For the time is come when Shepherds shall be judged and the true army of the Lord shall be raised.

The time is come soon when the whole world will resound with the praises of our God and Savior. In all nations and in every language, the day is almost here when every tongue will confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"

Behold He comes soon and He has placed His hunger in the heart of many souls, this is my conviction, The Glory of the House of the Lord shall be RESTORED!! HALLELUJAH!!!

Be glad children of zion, The Lord has heard your cry of restoration and is calling unto you raise a people prepared for the Lord. Let that revival start from YOU!

TAKE YOUR TIME OUT

I'll give you a secret to accessing blessings from the Lord. It has been underestimated by a lot of Christians and has therefore lost potency in their lives.

One major secret of accessing blessings of God is putting the needs of others first. Christ showed us this example through out His life and ministry. When you pray for others genuinely from your heart, God has no choice than to settle your own needs, because its a seed you have sown and is bound to germinate. Most of the things we pray for are already settled in heaven but God wants us to give Him a reason to release them on us, and the only reason we can give Him is by showing Him how much we care about His other creations(fellow humans). Each time you show concern to a fellow human, you remind God of how He sent His son for the sake of humanity and therefore provoke a blessing on yourself because you act like His son did.

Most of my prayer life are centered on praying for people genuinely and seeing that they get to their place of relevance, little wonder He keeps settling me.

So will you take time out each day to pray for someone?

LET IT ALL OUT!!

I was waiting on the Lord on a night asking for fresh oil and refilling of my spirit. And the Lord spoke to me expressly saying "Take a look at the lantern used for generating light, before u can use it to generate light, u have to fill it with oil(Kerosene). Now the oil will never go down unless it is lighted up with fire to generate light and the more the oil goes down, the more the need to refill. But as long as it is not struck with fire the oil will remain the way it is and with time will remain stagnant. Son, many ask for Me to refill their oil but they have not used up the one I put in them due to greed and selfishness. My word says LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE THAT ALL MEN MAY SEE but many have kept the gifts, the virtues, the anointing, the revelations I gave them to themselves and are now stagnant thereby causing flies to perch on them because my word says FLIES CAUSE THE OIL OF THE APOTHECARY TO STINK. Son, water that does not flow will remain stagnant and breed all manner of dirt. How can I refill a vessel that is full?"

Vessels of Honor, you heard what the Lord said and I must admit it is true, whatever GIFTS, VIRTUES, REVELATIONS, ANOINTING the Lord put in you, please let it out by using it to bless others which is all for the perfection of the body of Christ. Don't die a STAGNANT VESSEL. Little wonder a wise man said the richest place on earth is the graveyard due to the number of dead people who never actualized what God put in them.
I dare you to LET IT ALL OUT!!

JUST SPEAK!!!

God does not do anything here on earth without using a Man. Before He commands a Miracle He soughts for a man He'd use as a vessel. He could have spoken to the dry bones Himself in the book of Ezekiel but He instructed Ezekiel to do it. He could have decided to bless the widow of Zarepta Himself still He sent Elijah to her as a source of Her blessing. The last time He did it Himself was when He created Man but after He breathed into man His Spirit, He gave us the Power to be like Him and Jesus further demonstrated it telling us greater works than He did we shall do. In other words we are partners with God, He is the Spirit and we are His flesh. All He is waiting for is for you to speak the word and He'll confirm it!

He created the world and everything in it, He set the laws and protocols guiding it, He could choose to come down and break them Himself rather he chooses to use a man who has been confined within those protocols to break them just to show us how much power He gave us!

Friend, until you speak to that situation it may never turn around, stop waiting on God to come down and perform a miracle for you, just SPEAK to it and He'll confirm it.

I await your testimonies..

SHALOM!!!

YES HE CAN!!

A deep study on the book of John4:1-42, I discovered the plain truth of who Jesus truly is. It was the encounter with the woman of Samaria. Here was a woman who has had an ugly past, she had married five husbands and the one she even lived with was not her legal husband, pathetic isn’t it? She must have been regarded as a prostitute, in fact a practical whore. She must have been the kind of woman parents wouldn’t want their children to mingle with, men would have thought her a cheap lady. I can imagine what people would have tagged her, nothing good would have been expected of her. What a write off she would have been, it was not recorded she had children of her own. What a pity personality she had.

 A proper name for her would have been “society outcast”, yet the bible recorded that Jesus waited by the well on this woman. Isn’t it strange that the God of heaven and earth, the Holiest of all, one who was anointed without measure, one who was without sin would wait by the well on a woman who could be classified as a confirmed hell candidate not to talk of having a conversation with her. Now that’s the Jesus I know, one who would reach down into the deepest pit to drag out a destiny and make a landmark of it.

If you would read that chapter you would discover that He not only had a conversation with her, He gave her a new beginning, broke the barriers that could stop her from accessing God, and what triggers me the most is that He used her to change the whole city. Isn’t it amazing that God could use your mess to impact the world?

No matter how ugly your past is, friend the God that made you says He’s going to make you a wonder. The uglier your past, the more Glorious the future. God knows what you are going through, He sees your temptations, He’s right there in the middle of your storm, and He’s only expecting you to learn what He wants you to learn so His Glory can be perfect in you. So don’t let the devil haunt you with your past, because if he (devil) had known what you would become he would never have tried you with the storm in the first place. Don’t let the devil take you down, here’s  the shocker, THE DEVIL DOES NOT KNOW GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE I repeat THE DEVIL DOES NOT KNOW GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!! The bible says no man can know the things of man save the spirit of man and no man can know the things of God save the Spirit of God and you can’t tell me the devil has the Spirit of God in him. If the devil had known the purpose of crucifixion, he would never have crucified Jesus. So my dear friend, Glory in your travails and temptation for at the end of the tunnel there is light, for all things work together for good to them that love God. If God can use the woman of Samaria, YES HE CAN USE YOU, if He can use me, YES HE CAN USE YOU!!!

DON’T COMPARE!!!

Thousands have launched into careers they should have never have dipped their hands in. In the course of this doing this, some have made a shipwreck of themselves while others are working hard to cover up the trash they’ve gotten into.*smh*

One pressing factor that is really derailing many in this Glorious Generation is “comparison” syndrome. This syndrome has got many into troubles, havoc, broken careers; it has made many corporate beggars, some are stuck abroad now with nothing to show for after spending donkey years abroad just because they fell for the “comparison” syndrome.

Now let me put it straight, the fact that Mr. A made it going through that path doesn’t mean u also will make it through that path. Stop comparing you with other people, every man was created, specially designed, graphically constructed and articulately structured to perform a specific mission here on earth. But it’s sad many don’t have that understanding and have ended up forming a queue on the path to failure.

Let me give u an example of the story of a cock that was in search of food and suddenly an eagle caught its sight up far above in the sky. It was amazed at the way the eagle soared in the sky above, with time it grew jealous and concluded that it too can fly like that since it’s got wings like the eagle’s.  So it embarked the mission of trying soar at the altitude of the eagle but ended up losing one of its wings due to over stressing.

Many people like the cock have embarked on impossible missions and have ended up failures, and then they come around to blame God for not granting them success.  Stop using another’s accomplishment as a yardstick for yours like my mum would say “ma wo ago alago sise”. God created you, YES I mean YOU, for a special purpose and until you go ask Him you might continue to live a life of mystery. I’m convinced that if everyone were to take time to ask God for their purpose, we would not have 5000 people applying for one vacant post in an organization.

Very few have had this understanding and it has made them living legends. I keep wondering, if everyone were to be  musicians, who’ll be d listener; if everyone were to be doctors, who’ll be the patient?; if everyone were to be Ben Carson, then whose brains will be operated?; if everyone were to be pastors then who’ll be the congregation? Dear friend take time and ask God what He made you for and I’m assured we’ll meet at the top someday.

STOP COMPARING WITH OTHERS, I REPEAT STOP COMPARING WITH OTHERS!!

Is it still all about God?

Is it still all about God?

When you first started talking to him, you were just keen on winning him over to God’s kingdom, but is it still so?

When you first started blogging, you just wanted to share the Word with all, but is it still so, is it still about God?

When you first started getting close to Her, you just wanted to learn so much about God, is it still so?

When you first started singing, you just wanted to worship God, but is it still so?

When you first started fellowshipping there, you felt the presence of the Holyspirit so strong, and you always wanted more, is it still so, or have your friends become your focus?

When you first gave your life to Christ, you just loved dwelling in the presence of God, is it still so?

This is just to encourage us to take a step back, look at our actions and motives, is it still all about God? if it isn’t, return to your first love. Revelation  2:4-5 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. ⁵Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
