There are spiritual encounters people have
that naive people will never understand.Such will be quick to judge "IT
IS NOT BIBLICAL". I wonder if such people really have deep revelation
about the Bible they believe they read.
I once had a prayer
partner in the year 1994.We were both in the prayer warrior department
of Deeper Life then.He was older than me.He became close to me and told
me we should be having prayers together every week,which I agreed.
We really prayed atimes spending five hours interceding for lost
souls,the church,ministers,the land and asking God for more grace and
power.
What started bringing division was when I started sharing
some of my supernatural experiences which he felt very uncomfortable
with.Even though I tried to show him Scriptural references,been a Deeper
Liver with vast knowledge of The Word,he kicked against it.At a point
he told me point blank all I was saying was not Biblical and errors.
Since Amos 3:3 was no longer there,we parted ways.His belief is his own
reality while mine also is.Though he saw me as an herectic,I was not
bothered.
Two years later we coincidentally met in a place and I was shocked with what he told me.He said,
"THOSE THINGS YOU WERE SAYING THEN THAT I KICKED AGAINST,I NOW BELIEVE YOU.GOD HAS STARTED REVEALING THOSE THINGS TO ME ALSO"
Amazing isn't it.I just said,
"Uhuuuun"
If God had not revealed those things to him,he will see be seeing me
as a heretic.Who knows those he might have told about me then.God have
mercy.
Some Christians are afraid to share their supernatural encotuners for fear of been labelled a false person.
If you have doubts about people's experiences before you condemn
such,why not humble yourself and seek God's face to know the truth.Pride
will not make many to do such.
I heard from someone who has been
really skeptical about me told me God told her am His servant.Does that
excite me?Nope!!Like Sinachi sang,
I KNOW WHO I AM
I
don't need your approval to feel good.I share some of my experiences
because there are are many who can relate with such because of what they
are going through and they are afraid of saying it out for fear of been
termed a lunatic.
What some don't know about me is that I have
set my mind to study and know the mysteries of life right from my
teenage years according to Luke 8:10,
"IT IS GIVING TO YOU TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD"
Apostles are custodian of mysteries.I am yet to see a genuine Biblical
apostle who are not custodian of mysteries.Same with prophets.
I
challenge all those who are timid about the divine message God has given
to them via supernatural encounters to come out boldly and share
them.People need to know what is going on in order to be free.
Daniel 12 says,
"KNOWLEDGE SHALL INCREASE"
We need the Rhema from The Word not the Logo many have in their heads today.
Jesus told His disciples in John 16,
"I HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT YE CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW.HOWBEIT
WHEN THE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS COME HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH,HE
SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF BUT WHATSOEVER HE HEARS FROM ME SHALL HE
TEACH AND HE SHALL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME"
Revelation from
heaven is needed today.Christians are backsliding rapidly and are been
told they have eternal security in God.Teaching from the pit of hell.
The occult world are busy releasing massive knowledge of their kingdoms
and are capturing the souls of our youth while the church is stuck with
only the Logo but no Rhema.
It takes personal encounter with God to solidify one's faith in this Christian walk with God.
How many ministers let alone believers hear clearly from God again
today?That is why satan has been speaking to the minds of ministers to
teach rubbish though logical to the carnal senses.
Divine
revelation should draw people closer to God.If our teachings we really
call Biblical are loaded,why the degree of unrighteousness among Gospel
ministers let alone the followers?
I once taught a pastor son of mine the MYSTERY OF ADULTERY and he exclaimed,
"Whao!We have never been taught this way before"
I simply told him this is revelation.He could as a Theologian himself say,"THIS IS ERROR"
That teaching alone has saved his head from falling into adultery in the ministry.
Divine Revelation should both exalt the Person and Majesty of
Jesus.I
just thank God that my write-ups are setting people on fire for
God,saving souls,restoring backsliders,healing and delivering people
from evil forces and most especially drawing people closer to God and
making them hungry for His Spirit.
We are in the last days.How do
you think I have this constant energy of writing on facebook for two
years now?When you are loaded with heaven,you will have passion to
write.
Ask God for supernatural experience.It will help you.All I
have written are Biblical,if you are tough and deep in The Bible take
me on any,I will be glad.

THE COUNSEL FROM A PROPHET AND THAT FROM A PASTOR(2)
Like I said in the PART 1 of this article,click here to read it.The counsel of a prophet is quite different from the one of a pastor. Don't get me wrong here,both of them are God's servants but operate under different graces.
Prophets have the ability to see easily into the supernatural realm,hear or receive instructions from The Holy Spirit and counsel base on that without violating the Word of God although may be a little bit to the extreme atimes . A pastor on the other hand tend to counsel strictly base on the Word of God and past experiences and may sometimes hear specifically from God as per the situation,although this also depends on the spiritual maturity of the pastor.
Let me give you an example of an awkward counseling of a prophet which may be totally against your belief or conviction if you are not a prophet or operate in the prophetic.
A young lady came for counseling sometime ago. According to her she just married a guy of a different faith from hers(she is a Christian*). She has a boy of about a year plus.
Trouble started after marriage when her mother in-law told her point blank to leave her son for her that she can't marry her son due to her family background.The trouble became much that her husband pitched tent with his mum and started beating her up occasionally when they have argument.
She has gone for prayers,counseling and she has been praying also,nothing changed.As she was narrating her ordeals I was caught up in the spirit and I saw her going on a long journey that has no end.She was looking tattered,confused and worn out.
Hmmm!!!
I looked at her with much pity.She was just in her early twenties.I told her she had two options in this marriage.Which are;
1. Keep praying and be very patient until God delivers the man
2. Break the marriage and move on with her life
Prophets are fond of speaking in parables.If you are the wise type you will beg them to be plain with you. Normally,I should have stopped there,pray with her and give her prayer points to go and pray but I felt a heavy sorrow within me for her.
I just told her if she wanted to hear the truth.I told her there was no hope for her marriage,she had married someone who was not her husband and the said person has concubines and he is still going to marry someone else.You could have seen the look on her face.She was dazed because no one has ever told her that.
I ask her a question if she truly loved the man and she said no.It was the pregnancy she had for him that tied them together.What a life!I told her she has an option to keep praying until God answers but as a prophet seeing into the future,there was no hope.
Oh Doctor!! Why should you counsel that way?The Bible said,
"WHAT GOD HAS PUT TOGETHER LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER "
This is what many usually quote to justify their stand.But have you ever read that verse carefully to see the words?,
"WHAT GOD HAS...."
What happens if God has not put together? This is what many shy away from that has ruined many lives, caused untimely death and sent many to hell fire.God have mercy.
The lady left with the first option with the hope to keep praying until God intervenes.Don't get me wrong.I believe God can change any man if He wants to according to His will.
I was surprised seeing the lady few days later at my place.She told me that same night when the man came back home,they had an argument and she did what I told her to do(DON'T ARGUE,ANSWER WITH WISDOM). But she was shocked when the man told her to pack her belongings and get out of his house.Initially she thought it was a joke as usual until the ..........You know what I mean?
I simply asked her what do you want to do now?
She said she wants to move ahead with her life.I said fine.I told her she has to renew her fellowship with God,serve Him seriously and trust Him to perfect His plans for her.She should never be afraid as a single mother that God will give her own husband if she is faithful.
What a marriage!!This story may look weird but the truth is she better for it than enslave her over 60 remaining years in life in hell called her marital home.Pastors would have encouraged her to hold on and keep praying.Many have been told that and for the past 10,20,30 years are still holding on.
That was how a pastor told a Christian sister to keep praying for her husband who was fond of beating her,atimes into coma.Many times she had been hospitalized via such brutality.
"GOD WILL TOUCH HIM.KEEP PRAYING AND TRUSTING GOD FOR YOUR HUSBAND.REMEMBER ABRAHAM WAS PATIENT BEFORE HE RECEIVED HIS MIRACLE.BE PATIENT SISTER.THE HEART OF A KING IS IN HIS HAND.HE WILL CHANGE HIM"
These were some of the words her pastor might have been telling her.Unfortunately,one day the man beat her as usual.She was rushed to the hospital where she eventually died.End of story.Her death is not even my concern,let's analyze some things from this marriage,
It is not certain that that sister will make heaven for the following reasons.
1. Someone who has been experiencing such a dehumanizing situation will have anger,bitterness and hatred in her.
2. Serving God in spirit and in truth will be very difficult in such a home.
3. Who knows the state of her heart at her last moment on earth?
4. It is common thing for serious exchange of words before the beating always commence in many homes.
5.There would have been a lot of murmurings,complains and even annoyance against God for His slow response and her plight.
6.satan if possible must have formed a negative stronghold in her heart
Had she met a prophet or someone who can hear clearly from God,she would have been told to either SEPARATE from the man or BREAK the marriage.I wonder what that pastor would have said at her burial.
I have counseled some people in a very strange way as a prophet which they refused to accept thinking it is not Biblical.They are regretting their decisions heavily.
This is why I emphasize personal relationship with God. You should build up yourself to hear from God also so that you will not make costly mistakes.Even if you have made one,God can still deliver you from such.
In seeking a prophet's counsel always make sure there counsels don't violate the Word of God and resonates with what God is saying to you even though you might not fully understand.
Mind you prophet's can make mistakes to that is why you yourself must seek the face of God seriously to.If you are a genuine child of God what prophets do often IS TO CONFIRM WHAT GOD HAS LAID UPON YOUR HEART EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT BE CLEAR.
This doesn't mean pastors don't counsel right also. They are good shepherds to guide you in the perfect will of God and make sure you live according to God's purpose.You need them most times time than prophets.But when it comes to some critic situations,you will do well with a genuine prophet of God.

HOW TO OVERCOME FORNICATION AND ADULTERY PART 2
As the demons of fornication and adultery seem to be gaining ground,I want you to know they have not subdued all humans in this mess.
The solid truth is that not believers fall for such which is expected.But the amazing thing is that not all unbelievers fall for such also.This is a big mystery you need to find out.
If such folks can be disciplined enough to shun such should you an acclaimed believer not do much more.
As powerful as we think the devil is what makes it so is your weakness in your thought life.The mind is the battle field of satan.He who controls the mind controls the life.It is for this reason Solomon exhorts us in Proverbs 4:24,
"GUARD YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE.FOR OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE"
Jesus gave us the secret root to these sins in Mathew 15:19,
"FOR OUT OF THE HEART PROCEED EVIL THOUGHTS,MURDERS,*ADULTERIES*,*FORNICATIONS*,THEFTS,FALSE WITNESS,BLASPHEMIES"
This is the truth.Fornication and adultery are a bye-product of immoral thoughts.You don't deal with it from outside but from inside.
As children of God,you have the power to change your thought pattern and the grace to discipline your body not to do such.Apostle Paul declared in 1Corinthians 9:27,
"BUT I KEEP UNDER MY BODY,AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION:LEST THAT BY ANY MEANS,WHEN I HAVE PREACHED TO OTHERS,I MYSELF SHOULD NOT BE A CASTAWAY"
You need to change your orientation about these sins if you are to enforce discipline in your life.
Let me give you some of my tips that help me to discipline myself when am faced with the issue of adultery.Yes,you read that right.I face such temptation atimes.To be frank with you I would have falling once or twice but for these tips.
1. How will God feel when I do such?I will let Him down and give room for satan to mock Him.
2.Why should I a child of God condescend to such a low level life to do such a nasty thing?
3.After the pleasure,what do I stand to gain or lose in this act?I might get financial gifts if she is a sugar mummy but definitely I will loose my peace with God,my joy of salvation and my smooth cordial consistent relationship with God.
4.There are demons in this place right now manipulating my mind with the hope that I will fall into adultery for them to invade my life and work against my destiny especially the prophecies of God over my life.
5.Why should I waste my precious sperm on a stranger that demons will then take to their kingdom and use such against me.
6.I don't want to initiate what will become a repeating cycle in my life that I will regret at last because sooner or later it will be discovered and cause my family and myself a big embarrassment let alone the name of Jesus.
7.What would Jesus have done in this situation?
8.What if the rapture takes place while in this act or I die in the process?
9.If this act is secretly videod and put on the internet,can I live with myself?
10.In the midst of spiritual warfare I am having fun with an enemy.I am just signing my death warrant.
11.Shouldn't I prove my love and loyalty to God or I should disown God and feed my lust for just few minutes.
12.How on earth can I ease my conscience after this abominable act.
13.What legacy will I be leaving for my kids as I invoke familiar spirits that will later affects my kid' lives.
14.I have laboured so much in God's works to lay all that on the altar of adultery.
15.How can God be living in me and am using Him to commit adultery.The thought of it is just a total abomination.
16.Why should I betray my wife's trust and let down my family?
These are few tips I use to keep myself under check.I fear God more than anything.I suggest you study these tips,print them out,study them and ingrain them in your mind till your subconscious accepts it.
You can overcome even though you are hooked already.Change your thought pattern by concentrating on something more godly and positive.When that urge comes,feed it with something positive.The feeling will wane away.
When you allow your mind to be under spiritual check-up,your body will re-align itself with godly virtues.
There is no real gain in it.Have you not noticed the sorrows,regrets,pains,agony,troubled hearts etc you experience after each act?How long will you continue this way?
Jesus came to empower us.You have been empowered by virtue of your born again experience.You can overcome any sin if you submit your will and body to The Holy Spirit.
"THIS I SAY THEN,WALK IN THE SPIRIT,AND YE SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH.FOR THE FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT AND THE SPIRIT AGAINST THE FLESH:AND THESE ARE CONTRARY THE ONE TO THE OTHER;SO THAT YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD.BUT IF YE BE LED OF THE SPIRIT,YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW" Galatians 5:16-18

I AM DUE FOR MY FIRST CAR IN LIFE

YOUR PASTOR DETERMINES YOUR PASTURE
These were the words the Holy Spirit dropped into my mind as I was traveling somewhere yesterday.
It happened the bus I entered was trailing behind a trailer on the express way.Other cars were just passing us by as I watched the driver trying frantically to overtake the vehicle but was not given a chance.
I started pondering on this scene before I heard those words.It came so strong that I asked Him to explain.(though the bus overtook later after wasting much time though)
He said,
"YOUR PASTOR DETERMINES YOUR PASTURE.BY THAT I MEAN YOUR PACE IN LIFE IS DETERMINED BY YOUR MENTOR.WHAT YOU AIM FOR AND WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ARE DETERMINED BY WHO IS LEADING YOU.
SO MANY BELIEVERS ARE STUCK IN LIFE BECAUSE THEIR LEADERS ARE ALSO STUCK.SINCE THE LEADERS HAVE NO SENSE OF DIRECTION WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM THE FOLLOWERS?LIKE LEADERS LIKE FOLLOWERS.
WHEN YOU ARE TRAILING BEHIND A SLOW LEADER YOUR LIFE WILL MOVE ON A SLOW PACE AND YOUR ACHIEVEMENT WILL BE SLOW AND YOU WILL WASTE MUCH TIME THERE.
AS YOU SEE OTHER VEHICLES MOVING FAST PAST YOUR'S AND YOUR DRIVER IS BEING CAREFUL OF OVERTAKING FOR FEAR OF ACCIDENT,SO IT IS IN LIFE ALSO.NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE.THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT IN LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE HIGH-FLIERS.
NOTICE YOUR BUS HAS THE CAPACITY TO OVERTAKE BUT IS BEEN HINDERED BY THE TRAILER AND BY HIGH SPEED MOVING VEHICLES.THERE ARE FOLLOWERS WHO HAVE MORE DRIVE THAN THEIR LEADERS BUT ARE AFRAID OF OVERTAKING.SUCH WILL WASTE THEIR YEARS IN NOTHING.
SOME WHO ARE FOLLOWING LEADERS WHO HAVE NO DRIVE.YOU MUST BE READY TO MOVE AWAY FROM FOLLOWING SUCH BECAUSE THEY WILL SLOW YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY DOWN AND WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME IN ACHIEVING NEXT TO NOTHING.
AS YOUR BUS CAN'T SEE THE FRONT BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE SIZE OF THE TRAILER SO ALSO MANY HAVE ALLOWED THEIR LEADERS TO CLOUD THEIR FORESIGHT WITH ERRORS AND MISGUIDING UNBIBLICAL PRINCIPLES.
AS YOU SEE YOUR DRIVER FEELING UNEASY AND TRYING FRANTICALLY TO OVERTAKE THE TRAILER SO SHOULD ANYONE WHO IS FOLLOWING SUCH LEADERS BECOME.SUCH MUST BECOME DISTURBED BECAUSE TIME IS NO ONE'S FRIEND AND THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO ACHIEVE IN LIFE.
YOUR BUS FINALLY SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY AND OVERTOOK IT.SO MUST PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW SUCH LEADERS OVERTAKE AND MOVE UNTO NEW HORIZONS.LOOK FOR LEADERS WHO HAVE A SENSE OF DIRECTION AND MOVE WITH SUCH.IT WILL DETERMINE YOUR PASTURE(ACHIEVEMENT)"
Hmmm!!!!
So,there you have it.Don't allow any shortsighted leader waste divine investment in your life.If you are fulfilled in a place,put side fear and religious mentality,seek for the higher life in Christ.
Let chickens move with chickens and let the eagles look for their companions.I am not telling you to rebel against poor misguided leadership but am challenging you not to mortgaged your destiny there.
CHANGE THAT LEADER TO CHANGE YOUR LADDER.YOUR LADDER DETERMINES YOUR ALTITUDE.
In all BE GUIDED BY WISDOM AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

HOW TO OVERCOME ADULTERY AND FORNICATION PART 1
IF ANY MAN D-E-F-I-L-E THE TEMPLE OF GOD,HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY;FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS H-O-L-Y,WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE" 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
As I travel round in the spirit realm and also counsel people I have discovered these sins are powerful tools in the hands of satan from Bible days till now.
These are the greatest avenue the kingdom of satan is using to destroy many lives,steal the glory of people,mortgage their lives and render them empty and powerless.
Great people brought evils upon themselves via these acts.
*David brought untold evils upon his family via adultery
*Samson lost his anointing and ministry on the laps of Delilah.
*Reuben brought great generational curse by this act.
"Reuben,thou art my firstborn,my might,and the beginning of my strength,the excellency of dignity,and the excellency of power:unstable as water,THOU SHALL NOT EXCEL because thou WENTEST UP TO THY FATHER'S BED;THEN DEFILEST THOU IT:HE WENT UP TO MY COUCH:" Genesis 49:3-4
Like Reuben,many who have great destinies sold it on the altar of sexual sins.
*The children of Israel brought massive destruction upon themselves via these acts.Exodus 32,Numbers 25
The evil world knows too well there is nothing that weakens and destroys mortals quickly like fornication and adultery
WHAT IS FORNICATION?
This is having sex when you are not LEGALLY married.There are some who are living together as partners and yet they are not married.It is fornication.
If the person you are having sex with is married legally to another person,you are fornicating while the person is committing adultery.
Some who wants to get married soon sleep with each other believing that is the person he will marry.It is fornication.
Let me make something clear here.Marriage is not when you do court registry,engagement or white wedding alone.A marriage is contracted when
THE PARENTS OF THE LADY ESPECIALLY THE FATHER HAS GIVING HIS CONSENT TO THE RELATIONSHIP AND RELEASED HER TO YOU AS A WIFE AND GIVES PERMISSION FOR THE LADY TO LEAVE AND STAY WITH YOU EVEN WITHOUT PAYING THE DOWRY BUT TELLS YOU ANYTIME YOU ARE BUOYANT ENOUGH YOU SHOULD COME AND DO THE NEEDFUL.
In the situation above,that is real marriage.But those who live together having sex without the full permission of the ladies parents' are committing fornication.
WHAT IS ADULTERY?
This is when a married person has sex outside marriage.adultery is so rampant in churches today.God will deliver you from such acts in the name of Jesus.
Contrary to many opinions,Christians think it is very difficult to overcome sexual sins,what a lie from the pit of hell.
From our Bible verse above,
YOUR BODY IS GOD'S TEMPLE
It means God dwells in you via His Spirit.That makes your being a holy vessel.
Every human being is of God.All humans have a bit of God in them.That is why there are some who are not BORN AGAIN but they don't fornicate or commit adultery.What a sublime paradox!
Have you ever pondered on this truth?
WHY DO SOME FOLKS WHO DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN JESUS BUT DON'T FORNICATE OR COMMIT ADULTERY?
This should be a heavy challenge to you who call yourself born again but indulge in these shameful activities and believe you are helpless.If an unbeliever can shun such what of you who have grace and power?Think on this truth please.
Contrary to many beliefs of people that they are helpless and have tried to overcome it but can't.Let it be known to you that fornication and adultery are the easiest to overcome.
My wife is the first person I ever slept with.As a teenager,I had friends who were champions in fornication.That didn't make me indulge in it because I had a strong aversion for females.It was when I became born again I started feeling their temptations.Even with that I didn't yield to it not because I knew its consequence then but I just can't see myself do such.
As a teenage young Christian,my unbelieving friends really made mockery and jest of me calling me a Eunuch.I just simply told them to wait till I get married and they will see me in action then.
The human will is stronger than the devil.This is the truth.When that will is empowered by grace,it becomes dynamic.You can stop that sin if you want to.

THIS JOURNEY CAN BE ROUGH AND CHALLENGING ATIMES
There are seasons when God seems to be missing in action.When it looks as if He is no longer in your life again or seem to have forgotten you or turned deaf ears to all your tears and prayers.
There are moments in my life that I have come to a crossroad and begin to ask myself,
IS GOD WORTH SERVING?
In such moment of discouragement,
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO?
I just think back and reflect on all His past goodness in my life and tell myself,
THE SAME GOD THAT SAW ME ME THROUGH THEN WILL SEE ME THROUGH THIS ONE.
That puppy is so wise that He makes you to forget all His past goodness in your life and concentrate on what He is yet to do.
I remember there was a time my wife was with our sick baby hospitalized and things were very tough for us then.I was so discouraged that it affected my prayer life.I just prayed shabbily one night and slept off.
In a dream that night,I knelt down on a very big gigantic Bible with my face downward.Two men suddenly appeared and touched me.So I put my face up.The first one told me,
"YOU ARE MORE THAN THIS PROBLEM"
The second one said,
"GOD IS WITH YOU"
I woke up and meditated on those statements.If God is with me why am passing through all these temptations?
You see there are times when God doesn't make sense or seems to take delight in our sufferings.But He doesn't.He is always with you.
"BUT ZION SAID,THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN ME,AND MY LORD HATH FORGOTTEN ME.CAN A WOMAN FORGET HER SUCKING CHILD,THAT SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE COMPASSION ON THE SON OF HER WOMB?YEA THEY MAY FORGET,YET WILL I NOT FORGET THEE.BEHOLD,I HAVE GRAVEN THEE UPON THE PALMS OF MY HANDS;THY WALLS ARE CONTINUALLY BEFORE ME" Isaiah 49:14-16
What a sweet loving words from our God who cares for us more than any human can.In times of trials and temptations,even though you get confused,dejected and discouraged,be rest assured that Our Father is with still with you.
"BUT NOW THUS SAITH THE LORD THAT CREATED THEE,O JACOB,AND HE THAT FORMED THEE,O ISRAEL,FEAR NOT:FOR I HAVE REDEEMED THEE,I HAVE CALLED THEE BY THY NAME:THOU ART MINE.WHEN THOU PASSETH THROUGH THE WATERS,I WILL BE WITH THEE;AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW THEE:WHEN THOU WALKEST THROUGH THE FIRE,THOU SHALT NOT BE BURNED;NEITHER SHALL THE FLAME KINDLE UPON THEE" Isaiah 43:1-2
Hmm!!!God's Word is final.You don't need to feel any particular ecstasy to believe it.Just believe it whether you feel like or you don't.
If there is one thing I have come to know about God,He doesn't disappoint.He may show up late atimes but He will definitely show up.You can't die in that battle.You can't be swallowed up by the wicked.Just hold unto His Word.Keep confessing it while living the life He demands from you.Don't compromise your faith because such has a way of complicating your life.
Don't join them to take short cut that will eventually cut your life short.Don't go to the devil or his agents for solution because you will pay back with your soul.Instead say like Job,
"EVEN THOUGH HE SLAY ME,YET WILL I SERVE HIM"
God is ever faithful.Keep up keeping up in your faith and walk with God.He will definitely show up.I know He will.Don't listen to the voices of those condemned puppies with their unconscious agents who might even be your family members or friends.
GOD IS FAITHFUL
GOD IS LOVING
GOD IS GOOD
GOD IS MY FATHER AND MAKER
I WILL NEVER DENY GOD
I WILL WAIT ON HIM TILL MY CHANGE COME
"IF A MAN DIE,SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN?ALL THE DAYS OF MY APPOINTED TIME WILL I WAIT TILL MY CHANGE COME" Job 14:14
If Job can say this after He lost ten kids and all his properties with his health,you can do better than him.Job's story is a challenge.I was moved to tears when he uttered that solemn confession of faith in Job 13:15,
"THOUGH HE SLAY ME,YET WILL I TRUST IN HIM:BUT I WILL MAINTAIN MINE OWN WAYS BEFORE HIM"
What can be more challenging to God than to be resolute in your faith in times when your world has turned upside down?
Be encouraged.This journey atimes might be challenging,but He is always by your side.
"...LO ,I AM WITH YOU ALWAY,EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.AMEN" Mathew 28:20
