IN SPITE OF ALL ODDS

There is nothing as astonishing and unique like discovering one’s mission and focus in life and standing his ground regardless of all odds.

I have personally discovered that Christianity outside of Christ Jesus; I mean a strict observance of His lifestyle and ministry is nothing but a religious heathen practice. I thank God for giving me this undeserved merit to operate in such a rare position in Jesus’ Name...

I am called to attack all forms of un-Christlike Christianity! One of my opposition goes for the campaign against the promotion or celebration of death in state of LIFE! Christ Jesus is the fullest or complete representation of God with abundant and eternal life!

DEATH SWALLOWED

I am called to attack all forms of un-Christlike Christianity! One of my opposition goes for the campaign against the promotion or celebration of death in state of LIFE! Christ Jesus is the fullest or complete representation of God with abundant and eternal life!

Let us go closer to the Bible pertaining to this battle against God’s enemy, death!

Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.”

Hosea 13:14 “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave, I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes.”

John 6:50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.” Also read, vv51,58 and John 8:51.

1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”

DEATH CONQUERED

1Corinthians 15:54-57 “So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory...  

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

2Timothy1:10,11 “...but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.”

Hebrews 2:14,15 “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”

Revelation 20:14 “Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Revelation 21:4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS

Jesus Christ is and should remain the only central Personality amongst believers. Without Him, this world would have ceased to be; I mean God would have put an end to heaven and earth.

Christ is standing in the gab for us before God day and night; He had remained our faithful Mediator or Intercessor. John the Baptist His forerunner; explicitly pronounced the most profound Ministry of baptism in the Holy Spirit by Him.

Where Christ Jesus is replaced by a doctrine, creed, religion or denomination; His True purpose and picture according to God’s eternal plan loses its impact. I have seen stickers, fliers, sign/bill boards, labeled etc denominationally; all these, weigh down the significant role of Christ Jesus amongst His people.

The most frightening aspect of disloyalty against our Lord Jesus is the Christian strong agitation or inclination as soccer, tribal, political etc fans at the detriment of an intimate relationship with God in Christ Jesus!  You should be 100% Christian and nothing else!     

What are we trying to emphasize? The devil had given the world a wrong orientation that had drawn people further away from God so that our conditions in life will continue to remain unbearable! But the Lord Jesus had ensured that the promises of God had remained relevant from age to age!

Is there any way we can all promote the Name of Jesus more and more wherever we are? Why don’t you replace that ‘church family’ sticker with the JESUS sticker? Can you show strong love for JESUS such that replace your soccer club flag with His own?

A FRESH YEARNING FOR JESUS

Having taken some days waiting on the Lord; His faithfulness turned explicit within me; and an increasing fresh yearning to seek Him more got a hold of me. I pray, we agree here in Jesus’ Name...

I bear a desire to seek the Lord greater than that of Zacchaeus who had to climb a tree to see Him. I can clearly realize certain limitations taking the equivalence of his short stature became the reason for the promptings to love Him than ever. Let this remain our portion together in Jesus’ Name...

The kind of urging to seek Him that filled the life of the woman with the issue of blood for twelve painful years greatly surged my inner being. I know if only I can get that close to Him, some many issues of ailments, fears, disappointments, and discouragements must certainly depart from my life and yours too in Jesus’ Name...

More than the time Mary took to be at His feet; I can take the whole night (though sleeping) listening to my audio Bible, listening to Him too. May your life find avenue to His word day and night in Jesus’ Name...  

Much more than the unstoppable shouts of blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, to attract His attention for a miracle; I received a new driving force to call upon Him; calling on the Name JESUS had turned into a new song to me; let it be yours too in His mighty Name...

As I keep calling on the Name JESUS with this kind of zeal, fervor or fanaticism, a high momentum of expectation to see the manifestations of the fulfillment of His promises in His word is offering and bestowing upon you and me in Jesus’ Name...

Some of my friends are engaged into similar dreams, expectations and yearnings. May we all be entangled into the present day move of God to seek Him than ever before for the transformation of the present day needy generation in Jesus’ Name...

TWO KINDS OF DEPARTURES

The way funerals are treated today shows clearly that there is a departure from a Spiritual concept to a heathen culture. I believe that our faith in Christ Jesus can supernaturally carry us swiftly to the new heaven at the point of departure from this earth.

Let us consider a Biblical episode; the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16:22,23 says, “So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”

See this? “...the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom...” In state of the ‘beggar,’ we can say the ‘believer.’ Well, that is how it goes with faith people at the point leaving this world.

For the unbelievers, “...The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades...” You see, these are the people that are falsely and mockingly elevated at burials. So you can see what many do in rebellion against the Bible?     

What can we do now? Simply obey God! Jesus said to someone who rebelled against His invitation; “...Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.” Mt 8:22. And Luke 9:60 says, “...Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” When you go to bury someone instate of raising them, it implies you are dead too!

You judge for yourself; maybe you need to give a second thought to that passion for death and free from it in Jesus’ Name...

THOUGH ALL MAY PASS AWAY

The events that seem to rule the world today are pointing to its end. You do not have to listen to world news on radio or TV or read the news papers or use other communication gadgets to know that Biblical predictions are being fulfilled; the world is coming to the end.  

"Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Lk 21:32,33. You will never pass away with the world; you will abide in the word of God to last forever in Jesus’ Name...

You do not need a prophet to foresee or explain that everything in this world and in and around our lives’ existence is drastically loosing value. Let every aspect of your life regain its supernatural value in Jesus’ Name...

People’s health deteriorating; in spite of increasing specialist health centers! Babies are being born every day; yet, death seems to be prevalent in every society. You must overcome every contrary spirit that threatens your comfort and joy in Jesus’ Name...

ENDURE AND LAST FOREVER

Nature had lost true beauty and appreciation from humanity; it is no more protected; trees are falling, rocks are splitting, the earth is deepening and deforming, the atmosphere is chocking etc due to man’s departure from God in pursuance of civilization and/or industrialization.  

Failing to have faith in God to run, organize and fix our existence had made humanity trapped in world’s limitations, lack or poverty and other setbacks in life. I hereby announce the restoration of my friends back to God in Jesus’ Name...

Regrettably, suicide rate is increasing daily. People are fed up with non-profitable results of education and various scientific developments; young people seeking for preferable options had turned to Satan’s agents through drugs, alcohol, prostitution, terrorist etc addictions than to trust God to solve their problems. I declare by strong faith that my friends must be free in Jesus’ Name...

Money is failing! Economies melting! Marriages collapsing! True beauty fading! God’s love waxing cold! Everything is passing away; I declare you among those who will endure in believing God to be saved and last forever in Jesus’ Name...  (Mk 13:13)

SPECIFIC GOD’S CALL

If you must make a unique difference in your time; be prepared to face some sort of persecution; you will be misunderstood, misinterpreted and every effort you put into your ministry shall be distorted and misrepresented. Keep it up regardless of these hindrances as long as you had got a vision from above in Jesus’ Name...

But if you will do it like others are doing it; it will appear smooth and without attacks. Everything you do and people never question it, you know something is not right about it. Let your newly discovered focus land you into the circles of hard times and troubles and then God and not men will assist you to do more in Jesus’ Name...

When the Lord spoke to me about the “Faith Comes by Hearing;” truly if I did not hear God clearly, I would have dropped the idea long ago. I kept it up until our enemies are beginning to give up in Jesus’ Name...

I was confronted by men's ideas and proposals as to how I must go about it. Some condemned or criticize the method of this kind of preaching; only playing the audio Bible without saying a word?

God confirmed His call upon my life by giving me so many witnesses and different blessings that accompanied the diligence He imputed in me.

Many people can become interested to do what you have been doing; some will not last long in the process because they did not receive it from God; while others will be doing well in it and some will partner with you to God’s glory in Jesus’ Name...

The more you insist on God’s specific call in your life; the result will clearly be made public and serious impact must be made to the glory God in Jesus’ Name...

SHUN REBELLION

Another example of rebellion amongst many who are called Christians is the attitude of partiality. Take note of the example the Lord Jesus gave us; "...Who is My mother and who are My brothers? ...For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother." Mt 12:47-50

Where are tribalism, sectionalism, partiality and hatred found most today? Many prefer to promote their family, tribal, state, regional and etc sectional meetings than building the unity of the Body of Christ Jesus.

Let me give a word of caution; if the Body of Christ did not offer it to you, no other body can do it! Luke 21:33 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”

1Sam 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king."

Many had been deprived of the position of God’s appointed leaderships and other promotions in life because of rebellion which is equaled to witchcraft. Be delivered from rebelling against God and free from witchcraft in Jesus’ Name...

When will our Christianity makes the difference? Can the world differentiate between our faith in God with our doing what the world suggests to us? Let our faith in God makes the difference in these last days in Jesus’ Name...  

UNCOMPROMISING OBEDIENCE

Whenever I notice my behaviour going contrary to the word of God; I regret so much. I pray that my Heavenly Father will help me do all that had been listed as Christian obligation without compromise in Jesus’ Name. Join me say, AMEN! 

There is no way we can say that we are totally ignorant of what is expected of us as Christians. The words of our Lord Jesus Christ are clearly pronounced in Scriptures; we must learn selflessness and sacrifice to strictly comply with our 

Heavenly Father’s instructions in Jesus’ Name...

I am obliged to make reference to some crucial Biblical issues the people of God sometimes take for granted. We simply ignore the truth because we are never strong enough to resist the views of the world, majority, or the opinions of men. May the Lord enable us obey Him without fear in Jesus’ Name...

For instance, concerning death; we are instructed to raise the dead Mt 10:8; but amazingly, we hardly find our churches conducting services purposely to pray for the sick to be healed and to raise the dead.

When we gather in multitudes at funerals or burials; should that not be considered as rebellion against God’s word? Where is our faith? Ought we not to please God with faith and glorify Him when the sick are healed and the dead are restored back to life in Jesus’ Name? John 11:4,40.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Proverbs 4:5-8 “Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.”

My young friends; be wise according to God’s word. Proof your maturity and ministry by seeking to be wise in the Lord; your reliance in the wisdom of the world will delay your profit of heaven on earth.

If a grown up son stays long in his father’s house; he will be seen to be still sheltered, fed, clothed, and protected by the parents. Be bold enough to start a home of your own; your faith in God can do it in Jesus’ Name...  

DREAM GOOD OF OTHERS

Some five years back or so about five different people (including pastors) told me they dreamt I had died. It did not frighten me at all; because I had known before some of them were conceived or born that I will live long; I mean, that was God’s plan for me. It is the portion of my friends; you will live long in Jesus’ Name...

I think some who dreamt some evil disaster against others might be disappointed seeing you faring well in life. You will continue to do well in life in Jesus’ Name... Just hold on to God!

The devil sought permission and got it to destroy Peter; but Jesus prayed for him. The Lord rescued Peter from the wicked plan of the devil before He announced it to him. Luke 22:31,32

If you had an evil thought, imagination or dream about someone; make sure you block or cancel the wicked intention of the enemy before telling the person in Jesus’ Name...  

PRAYER FOR THIS GENERATION

Oh Lord, help this generation to distinguish between evil and good; and for it to resist evil and hold on to good in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, help the Christians to mold this generation according to your will as it is in heaven in Jesus’ Name...

Ya Ubangiji, Abin da kake so, a yi shi a cikin duniya kamar yadda a ke yi a cikin Sama...   

Oh Lord, give my young friends the boldness to resist the temptation of exposing their bodies in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, help my young friends to resist the temptation of making money by hook or crook in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, Help this generation to see in the heavenly perspective; let heaven and not the world be our focus in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, Help me to remain a Spiritual enlightenment tool to this generation regardless of the oppositions and trials in and around my life and ministry in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, Help my internet friends to see beyond the ordinary so that they can overcome the wicked trial of becoming other people’s carbon copies in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, Help my young friends in the ministry to resist the temptation of trying to be like mentors than being Christ-like in Jesus’ Name...

Oh Lord, Help all in the ministry to escape the judgment of partaking in falsehood in Jesus’ Name...

  

FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

As the followers of Jesus Christ; we are to remain His subjects in full obedience and loyalty. We should actually follow His principles and apply His Kingdom instructions to reign with Him without the world’s influences in Jesus’ Name...

Our friendship with the world is enmity with God. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Romans 8:7

Worldliness is the consistent use of one’s life to gratify pleasures to the flesh; this is carnality. So one’s life can be used in business, politics, entertainment, education, science/technology, fashion, foods and drinks etc not to please God but to impress the world.

When one lives his life outside of God, it is a choice of heading to doom. It is therefore time for us to restore our relationship with God to reign with Christ by the help and direction of the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives; this is the new orientation of a new world called heaven on earth in Jesus Name...
