REALITIES OF SPIRITUAL INSIGHT.

We consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are visible are temporal but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. For we walk by faith and not by sight or appearance…………………….Man is a triune being as he possesses spirit, body and soul. The spirit of man is needed by man to connect with the spirit realm while the body of man is needed by him to connect with the physical/earthly realm. The soul is needed both in the spirit and physical realm. Without the soul, the body and the spirit are useless. It is important to state here clearly that the spirit of a man has its own eyes while the body of a man has its own eyes too. The spiritual eyes allow us to see into the Spiritual realm while the bodily eyes helps us to see into the physical realm. The Spiritual eyes helps us to see clearly what God has granted freely unto us via redemption from the mirror of God`s word while the physical/bodily eyes helps us to see what is being made manifest around us and in our environment. It is with our physical eyes that we can see all that God created in tangible and concrete forms e.g birds, lakes, seas, oceans, other people etc. It is an established fact that it is the Spiritual realm that controls the physical realm. This means that the spiritual realities control and are responsible for physical realities. Spiritual realities are controlled by God and the devil and so the physical realities that we see today are the manifestations of the works of light and darkness as God is responsible for light and the devil is responsible for darkness. As God`s children/heirs of Salvation, we are expected to control what we see with our Spiritual eyes/inner eyes as they act as the gate-way to our physical and earthly realities. If you want your Spiritual eyes to see well, your Spiritual eyes must daily and consistently look into the perfect law of liberty i.e the Holy Bible which brings freedom to the physical eyes to see well in the physical/earthly realm. In the perfect law of liberty, there is fruitfulness, rest, prosperity, joy, abundance, breakthroughs, peace and other great things. When we carefully and correctly picture these things with our Spiritual eyes from the mirror of God`s word which is the perfect law of liberty…sooner or later, they will manifest in the physical and earthly realm for our physical eyes to see. According to the prophetic scripture for today, the things that are seen by the Spiritual/inner eyes are deathless and everlasting. If only you can see clearly what is written concerning you in the perfect law of liberty and not what is surrounding /happening to you at present, what is happening around/to you will soon give way to what is written about you which is captured by you with your Spiritual eyes. In the midst of chaos, emptiness, disorderliness, ugliness and hopelessness in the beginning of beginnings…God saw a haven of beauty, perfection and order as regards the earth and what He saw became a reality. When man fell to disobedience and subsequently was disconnected from God, God saw the glorious picture of man being restored and reconciled back to Him and what He saw has become a reality today. If you are indeed a child of God, you can begin to see things exactly the way God sees them. I charge you today to see possibilities in the midst of impossibilities. I charge you today to see fruitfulness in the face of barrenness. I implore you today to see abundance in the face of scarcity because whatever you can see with your invisible eyes are bound to be a reality in a matter of time. Shalom!

ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY.

For our light, momentary afflictions is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory…………………….Christianity is a call to glory. When God called us to be a believer in the finished work of His only begotten Son on the cross of Calvary, the summary of that call is to glorify the believer. Remember that those who He thus fore-ordained, He also called and those who He called, He also justified and those who He justified, He also glorified. Thus, glorification is the end-result of being called a believer. It is important to state here clearly that before one can be glorified by God as a believer in Christ, one must be tested and tried by the fire prepared by God just as God`s word was tried. Also, we have to be tested and tried by the refining fire of the Most High just as gold and silver have to be tried in the furnace of fire before their glory, beauty and lustre could emerge. God is an expert in refining every believer by taking them through various challenges and trials of faith so that at the end of it all, their beauty and glory can emerge. Without the trials of faith, there cannot be glorification. What do we see today in Christendom? We see a people who claim to be a follower of Christ but do not want to partake of any inch of sacrificial challenge for the sake of Christ. We see a people that are interested in partaking of the blessedness of redemption without going through the process and it is the process that guarantees the quality of the finished product. If a stunk of coal refuses to go through the required process, the diamond in its beauty and glory can never emerge. Before Christ could emerge glorious, He had to pay the sacrificial price of going to the Cross despite the fact that He knew no sin. He had to die on a Cross that was meant for criminals and robbers for Him to emerge glorious. The Apostles of the new testament also went through hell on earth before the Gospel could reach the nations of the earth. Some of them were stripped naked and beaten publicly. Some of them were stoned to death. Some of them had to be incarcerated in prison cells for doing nothing wrong all for the sake of the propagation of the Gospel of Christ. The missionaries that bought the Gospel to Africa were victims of afflictions as they went through a lot of challenges. If all these people went through trials, challenges and afflictions for the sake of the Gospel, we cannot escape ours as long as we belong to Christ and we want to share in His glory. Apostle Paul called these trials/challenges/afflictions that we must pass through LIGHT and MOMENTARY compared to the EVERLASTING WEIGHT of GLORY that will be revealed in and through us. You may be going through some tough times in one or some areas of your life because of your staunch commitment to the advancement of the Gospel…never mind as the glory that will be revealed in and through you will surpass what you are going through at present. Imagine the glory and grandeur that Christ received and is still receiving in Heaven for the afflictions He suffered for the redemption of our souls. Imagine the glory that the Apostles will receive at the coming of Christ for they will be the judge over the twelve tribes of Israel but all these are accessible on the altar of trials, afflictions and challenges. The Bible states clearly that the glory of the latter end shall surpass the former. This means that the glory that God has reserved for His people in these last days shall surpass that of the old days but the glory is reserved for those who have sacrificed and have gone through a lot of trials and fierce challenges for the sake of the advancement of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Some people are in the villages and remote places where there are no social amenities like electricity, portable water, telecommunication facilities like mobile phones, internet facilities etc for the sake of the Salvation of souls residing there and for the advancement of the Gospel of Christ. Some people give a better part of their energy, income and time to see God`s Kingdom advance on the face of the earth. The latter part of God`s glory that is to be revealed in these last days are reserved for these special set of people and others that are sacrificing their best for the sake of the Kingdom. May God grant you the grace to lightly esteem the light and momentary afflictions that you may be going through for the sake of the advancement of the Kingdom and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your labour of love will not go unnoticed by God for God will reward all your labour of love for the Gospel and His Kingdom in Jesus precious name. It is well with you!

COME UP HIGHER.

The Lord our God said to us in Horeb...You have dwelt long enough on this mountain. Turn and take up your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbours in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South and on the coast, the land of the Canaanites and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob to give them and to their descendants after them.........................Life in God is deep and inexhaustible. In God, the journey of life has no end neither does it has boundaries. The dynamic life that God has for you is high in height, deep in depth, broad in breadth and long in length. No one can fully exhaust the totality of the life that God has in store for him/her. As you are celebrating the testimony of a good life, God is saying that there is still a better life in store for you.As you are celebrating a better life, God is saying you have not seen the BEST that He has in store for you. Unfortunately, many people today are stucked at a particular level of life that is far below the level God intends for them to have. In the first instance, many people never anticipated that they will get to the kind of levels they are in life so instead of believing God for the next level that He has in store for them per time which is far better than the old level, they become stucked in the old level and never aspire to move higher. God had a plan of moving the children of Israel from the Egypt of bondage and slavery to the Canaan of freedom, abundance and all-round rest. On their way to Canaan, they encountered some challenges because to get to the next level of fullness in God, you will encounter challenges on the way. Instead of believing God for the fortitude to overcome those challenges, the Israelites wanted to go back to their old life. They wanted to cancel God`s next level of freedom and abundance for them while going back to the old level of servitude and slavery because of the free fruits they enjoyed in Egypt. While in the wilderness also on their way to Canaan, they did not co-operate with God to overcome their challenges to get to the next level of the fullness God had in store for them but they resulted into murmuring and complaining and they were on the same spot for uncountable number of years while Canaan was staring at them on the face. God told them that they had dwelt in the wilderness for so long and that if they could take the courage to overcome all the challenges on their way from the wilderness to Canaan with His available help, they will surely possess Canaan thereby moving on to the next level of their life. The summary of my message to you today is that in God, there are limitless levels of abundant and overflowing fullness of life and it is His pleasure/desire/will for you to move from one level to another. Each level of fullness is laden with challenges/giants which you must fight and overcome to get to the next level. Once you fight those giants and challenges with the backing of the Almighty God, you will move to the next level of your life. Complacency is the enemy of divine progress. Never give in to complacency. Never be satisfied with where you are in God as there are greater heights awaiting you if only you will not give in to complacency. A wise man said and I quote...``show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure``. God is saying to you today that...You have stayed on that old spot for a long time...come up higher as I have a better life for you than the old spot that you have stayed for years. God wants you to come up higher in your Spiritual walk and experiences with Him. He wants you to come up higher in your ministry, career, relationships, family/home and in all your endeavours/work of your hands. I see you changing levels in God from one level of glory to another as you embrace responsibility to fight complacency and the giants that decorates each next level in Jesus precious name. Remember that the path of the just is like a shinning light that shines brighter and brighter until the perfect day. There is no end to the brightness and luminance of the just. Also, a perfect door of opportunities and breakthroughs are open unto us but there are many adversaries to contend and fight with but in God, we are more than Conquerors. Shalom!

COMFORT.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...the Father of sympathy and the God of every comfort who comforts us in every trouble so that we may also mmmmcomfort those who are in any kind of trouble or distress with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.........................Life is full of events. We have the good side of life and we also have the other side of life just as a coin has two sides. The other side of life can be viewed in form of the problems and troubles of life. People don`t like to talk about this important side of life but the truth is that no one is immuned from the problems and troubles of life as they come and appear to everyone. The rich are not exempted from the troubles and problems of life likewise the poor. The tall, short, educated, illiterate etc are not exempted from the troubles and problems of life. Life in Christ is an interesting life because Christ Himself occupies the central portion of such a life. It is important to state clearly that every life in Christ is not exempted from the troubles and problems of life. The only assurance we have in Christ is that these troubles and problems are seen as challenges in God`s sight and we have an established victory over those challenges as long as we hold on to Him who gave us the established victory in the first place. We are not promised victory in Christ but the truth of the matter is that we are victors in Christ. We are not promised overcoming those challenges but we are overcomers in reality in Christ Jesus. Consider these scriptures... 1. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and when you pass through the fire, I will not forsake you for you will not get drown in the waters neither will you be burnt by the fires. This means that it is of a necessity that we pass through the waters and fires of life but we will come out of them victorious. 2. In the world, you will have tribulations but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world......Tribulations will come but we are overcomers in Christ. 3. But we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us......To be a conqueror, you will have to fight the challenges of life and our victories are guaranteed. We have to understand that between the time when the challenges of life comes knocking at our doors and before we lay hold on our sure/established/concrete victories in reality, the ministry of the Holy Spirit is put into display. He is our comforter sent to comfort us during challenges. He will comfort youn with encouraging words from the Bible which you have stored in your heart via meditation which will equip you to overcome. When abraham went through the challenge of barrenness,he took comfort in God`s word that God is not a liar and He is able to do what He has promised.When Job went through the challenge of total loss, he took comfort in God`s word that states clearly that God is a restorer and that was the reason he continually said and I qoute.....I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES. When David lost everthing on coming home from a particular battle,he inquired from the Lord whether to pursue and recover all or not and God told him to do so. David after crying for hours until he had no strength to weep took the courage to pursue his enemies because he took comfort in God`s word which states that God is able to do exactly what He says. When Daniel was face to face with hungry lions, he took comfort in God`s infallible word that God is able to save and deliver him. When shedrac, Menshac and Abednego were face to face with a terrible fiery furnance that burnt the people that threw them inside it, they took comfortin God`s word thatv states that God is able to save and deliver His own from all the afflictions and perils of life. They said and I quote......O Nebuchadnezzar, we don`t have to obey you concerning this matter because we know and are sure that our God is able to save and deliver us and even if He refuse to deliver us, we will not bow to your graven image. When Christ was faced with the challenge of feeding multitudes, He took comfort in God`s word that with prayer and thanksgiving, God is able to send Him His request of divine supplies according to His inexhaustible riches in glory. When Peter was faced with the challenge of career failure due to his inability to catch fishes despite his skills and expertise in fishing and Christ told him to launch into the same water that produced nothing for him but failure, He took comfort in God`s word knowing that God is not a liar neither is He man that He should repent. In our present day, the Holy Spirit is our comforter in the time of challenges and His job is to bring to our remembrance all the words of comfort that we have stored in our hearts/spirits in order to give us the requisite strength to overcome our challenges. He is sent our diection to help our infirmities. After we have received comfort from the Holy Spirit and we have overcome our challenges, God expects us to comfort other people going throught the same we went through for there is nothing new under the sun. There is no challenge anybody is going through that somebody somewhere has not gone through but as we comfort others by sharing with them how God comforted us to overcome ours, they will be able to overcome theirs and also comfort others. May the Holy Spirit.....our comforter in troubl and the helper of all infirmities comfort you in all your darkest nights in Jesus precious name. May your story of triumph over the ever-coming troubles of life serve as a souce of comfort to others so that they will be able to overcome theirs and comfort others also. It is your season of all round comforts! Coming straight from my heart of hearts.....Dayo Oladapo... www.Facebook.com/pages/Dayo-Oladapo-Official-Page/465259763522821

A SUPERNATURAL MIND.

For who has known or understood the mind of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ and do hold the thoughts of His heart.........................The mind is the factory where thoughts are manufactured and the beauty of thoughts is that when plans are put in place to actualize those thoughts under necessary conditions, the thoughts then become a reality. Christ has a mind and it was that mind that was at display at creation. The mind conceived a thought of creating Heaven and earth and all the things that were in it and when the necessary conditions were put into place, the thoughts of Christ became a concrete reality. The mind conceived a thought of creating man in the image and likeness of God so as to dominate the earth just as the Almighty god dominated the Heavens and when necessary conditions were met, the thoughts of Christ became a practical fulfillment. The Bible states clearly that in the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. All things were made and created by the word and nothing was made which was not made by the word. Christ is the living word who created all things that were created in the beginning and creation started from His mind. Man can have access to the mind of Christ via redemption. One of the benefits of the riches of redemption is the access to the mind of Christ. If you are born again and your sins have been washed away by the precious blood of the Lamb, you have direct access to the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is activated on the inside of every believer by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. When we give our lives to Christ, the Holy Spirit has access to our spirit man and activates the mind of Christ in us. The mind of Christ is a unique mind that can never ne stranded or cornered because it will always provide a way where there seems to be no way. When faced with the red sea, the mind provided a way to go through the red sea. When faced with thirst as a result of lack of water, the mind provided water from the rock. When faced with hunger as a result of nothing to eat, the mind located quails from Heaven. When faced with questions, the mind provides answers and interpretations to dreams. When faced with insufficiency as a result of lack of wine at an important wedding in Cana of Galilee, the mind provided sufficiency of wine from excess water available. When faced with the challenge of feeding five thousand people, the mind provided a way from five loaves and two fishes. When face with the challenge of paying an urgent tax, the mind provided a way of locating what to pay from the mouth of a fish. It is the Holy Spirit that activated that Supernatural mind in Christ and He is still in the business of activating mere insignificant human minds with the Supernatural mind of Christ so that man can operate in the mental class of the Almighty God and subsequently demonstrate his sonship. The son of a goat is a goat. The son of a lion is a lion. The son of an elephant is an elephant while the son of God is a god but the true sonship of God can be seen through the kind of intelligence that the son of God exhibits which is traceable to the mind of Christ or the mental class of God which is activated by the Holy Spirit for there is a Spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty(the ministry of the Holy Spirit) gives him understanding. You need this mind to solve the day to day problems and triumph over the ever-coming challenges of life. You need this mind to be creative just as Christ was creative when He was here on earth. You also need this mind to be ever relevant in your field of endeavour and in the work of your hands. I see the breath of the Almighty God...the Spirit of the Living God living on the inside of you activating and actualizing the mind of Christ in you in Jesus precious name. It is a brand season for you...Coming straight from my heart of hearts...Dayo Oladapo... www.Facebook.com/pages/Dayo-Oladapo-Official-Page/465259763522821

BLESSED BEYOND ALL CURSES.

How can I curse those God has not cursed? or how can I denounce those the Lord has not denounced? You see, I have received His command to bless Israel. He has blessed and I cannot reverse or qualify it. Whatsoever the Lord does is forever, nothing can be added unto it and nothing can be removed from it............................................God called Abraham when he was sold to idolatry and revealed His plan of rescuing him from that yoke into a divine plan of blessing. When Abraham fulfilled God`s condition of being blessed by Him, God swore His blessings unto him saying he shall indeed be blessed in all things and all the families of the earth shall be blessed through his seed. Indeed, Abraham was blessed in all things according to God`s word which is yea and amen. He was blessed with material things, long life, success, prosperity etc. Whoever tried to bless him was blessed and whoever tried to curse him was cursed. God established that kind of blessing for as many people that will accept it through the Seed of Abraham who is Jesus Christ. Christ redeemed as many people that will believe in what he did for the on the cross of Calvary from the curse of the law so that they can have access to the Abrahamic kind of blessings. The curse of the law is an encompassing network of all kinds of terrible curses and Christ redeemed as many people that will believe in him from such curses so that they can be divinely blessed exactly the way and manner Abraham was blessed. If you are genuinely saved and born again, you have unlimited access to the blessings that Abraham had access to. Just like Abraham could not be cursed when he was here on earth, you cannot be cursed. Since Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the Law and the work of redemption is a perfect/enduring/everlasting job well done, you can never be cursed. The blessings of Abraham on you has the potency to swallow up in victory every curse that is sent towards your direction. Just as Balaam could not curse the descendants of Abraham in the old testament because they carried the blessings of Abraham on them, no one will be able to curse you in our age and day because you carry the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ.....For I carry the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ, therefore let no man trouble me. Just as Balaam could not reverse the blessings that was evident on the Israelites because they were Abraham`s descendants, no one will be able to reverse the blessings of God upon your life because you are a co-heir with Christ. I see every curse that is sent towards your direction being swallowed up in victory by the blessings of God upon your life just as the rod of Moses swallowed the rod of the magicians and sorcerers of Egypt in Jesus precious name. It is well with you!

THE GOD OF GENEROUSITY.

He who did not withhold or spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all things.........................God is the giver of life and all things. He is the giver of life and the creator of all things. He created the Heavens and the earth including all things that are existing on earth today. The sun, moon, stars, living and non living things are the manifestation of His creative ability. Interestingly, He created all things including MAN in less than one week. When He created man, He gave man all things that man needed for living a meaningful and enviable life on the face of the earth. When God was creating the Heavens, the earth, the waters and its creatures, animals, the sun, the moon, the stars including all planetary bodies and all things, He had the interest of man at heart. Man would have been stranded on earth without the sun, the moon and the stars. Man`s life would have been cut short without the waters and their living hosts, animals of all kinds etc. Man would have died of hunger without the green plants and vegetation which were created to serve as his food. So, we can see that all things were put in place by God before man was created for his maximum comfort and satisfaction. God Himself satisfied the spiritual need of man through constant and consistent fellowship with him everyday. The dog, lion, chimpanzee, gorilla etc could not fellowship with man spiritually but God met man`s spiritual need by coming down from Heaven everyday to fellowship with him. When man fell through sin, the spiritual contact/fellowship he had with the Almighty God was broken and he also lost touch with all things that God gave him for free for his comfort, satisfaction and sustenance on the face of the earth. He was cursed and he had to till the ground with the sweat of his brow before he could eat. In the garden, he had food for free but when he was sent packing as a result of sin, he had to sweat profusely before he could eat. God had a plan of reconciling man to Himself because of the enduring and everlasting love that He had for him. The curse that was placed on man had to be transferred on the only begotten Son of God who came to the earth in the likeness of man so that man can be free. God gave his best...His only begotten Son from glory so that man can be reconciled back to Him having been set free from the curse that was placed on him at the beginning. When Christ died and rose from the dead, the vale separating God from man was torn from the top to the bottom and the job of reconciling man to God was effected. Christ has redeemed man from the curse of the Law. Christ has reconciled man back to God. Since man was reconciled back to God, man has been reconciled back to ALL THINGS that was lost in the beginning. Man has been restored to health in the place of sickness. Man has been restored to prosperity in the place of poverty, lack and want. Man has been restored to fruitfulness in the place of barrenness. Man has been restored to joy in the place of weeping, sorrow and depression. Man has been restored to peace in the place of tumult and confusions of the mind. Man has been restored to a sound relationship with the God of the whole Universe in the place of separation from the Almighty. Man has been restored to eternal, enduring and everlasting life in the place of eternal damnation. Man has been restored to Heaven in the place of hell. That was the reason Apostle Paul said in the new testament that ALL THINGS ARE YOURS in the new covenant which is ratified/sealed by the precious and stainless blood of Christ which came as a result of His sacrificial death. If God could allow His Son to go through all that He went through to restore and reconcile you to Him, there is nothing on earth that you cannot have as long as you take a step of believing in what He has done for you to become saved if you are not saved and also to take a step of loving him, fellowshipping with Him constantly and consistently and also serving Him with all that you`ve got. I see God freely and graciously/generously giving you all things that amount to your heart desires in accordance to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Jesus precious name. Have a great week!

ALL THINGS WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOU.

We are assured and know that all things work together and are for good to and for those who love God and are called according to His design and purpose.........................It is God who made us and called us into existence out of His design and purpose. He designed us in His own special way to suit our purpose for life. My design according to God`s plan is different from your design because we carry different purposes in life. So, it is God`s design of us that determines our purpose. It is also God`s purpose for us that determines what we go through in life. God does not do anything without a purpose and it is God`s purpose that determines the happenings that surrounds our purpose. It is God`s purpose for your life that determines the happenings around you. Comparing one person with another person is not a wise thing to do because individuals carry different purposes in life according to God`s plans and design for them and this is reflective of the happenings that surrounds each individual. God`s purpose for Moses was different from that of Joshua, so was their designs and so was the happenings that surrounded their lives. The happenings that surrounds one`s life can be likened to what a person is going through in life. The happenings that surrounds a person`s life/what a person is said to be going through in life is made to suit the person`s design and this is made to suit the person`s purpose. All that Moses went through in life was made to suit his purpose of delivering the children of Israel from the hands of Pharaoh. The circumstances surrounding his birth, his upbringing in the palace of Egypt, his exile away from Egypt etc were made to suit his divine purpose. If we look at the life of Joseph also, we will see that his divine design was made to suit his divine purpose and the happenings/circumstances that surrounded his life were also made to suit his divine purpose. He was sold into slavery by his brothers. He became a prisoner for an offence he did not commit...All these happenings/life circumstances were suited for his divine purpose of becoming the prime minister of Egypt. People like David, Solomon, Samson, Christ and Apostle Paul just to mention a few were brilliant designs of the all-creative God and they all went through different circumstances/situations/happenings in life which was indicative of the kind of purpose they were to execute on earth. David was a person that was trained to be a shepherd boy. He would look after the sheep of his father with utmost care and he was accountable unto his father for each sheep. He was a person that had no rest at a point in his life because somebody was after his life for one reason or the other. He had to run from one place to another because his life was continuously in danger. He went through all these because of the unique purpose that God had for him. Solomon was an offspring of an adulterous fling and it was very shameful at that time and even till now for someone to come from such a root but he had to come from such a root because of the kind of purpose that he had to fulfill on earth. Samson came from the loins of a couple that were victims of barrenness for a couple of years. His birth was predicted/prophesied and certain things were stated as to be observed by his parents which were to be observed on his account because of his purpose. No razor was allowed to come on his head for as long as he lived and he was not allowed to drink just anything because of the kind of purpose he was to carry out on earth. Christ came on earth on a controversial note. His mother who claimed to be a virgin further claimed she was impregnated by an unseen personality and her boy friend attested to it. When Christ was to be born, there was no good place for him to come forth other than a manger where animals were kept. He was a victim of assaults, ridicule, insult, criticisms etc from the people of his day because of the kind of purpose he was to fulfill on earth. Apostle Paul was another character of note. He was responsible for persecuting anyone who publicly claimed to be a follower of Christ. He would beat them, injure them and throw them into prison. He even master-minded the death of Stephen. When he became a christian, he had to go through what he subjected other Christians to when he was not born again. He was beaten and disgraced publicly several times and he was even dragged from prison to prison. He was a man who was in perpetual chains in prison cells. He went through all those stuffs because of the kind of purpose that God had for him. Dear reader, what you may be experiencing today in your life may be unpalatable and may be too hard for you to bear but they are necessary for your purpose to be fulfilled in life. Even God`s word had to go through fire several times for it to be what it is today. If you are saved and washed by the blood of the Lamb, all things that you are passing through will eventually work together for your GOOD. After all that Moses passed through in life, He later led the children of Israel(about a million people) out of slavery and He fulfilled his purpose for good on earth. After all that Joseph passed through in life, he later became the prime minister of a foreign country of Egypt thereby preserving lives from hunger and destruction and he fulfilled his purpose for good. After all that David passed through in life, he became Israel`s most successful king who never lost a battle and he even became a man after God`s heart and he fulfilled his purpose for good. After all that Solomon passed through, he became Israel wealthiest and wisest king and he fulfilled his purpose for good. After all that Samson passed through in life, he became Israel`s greatest deliverer/judge and even after his fall, he still made Heaven thereby fulfilling his purpose for good. After all that Christ passed through on earth, he fulfilled his purpose of saving humanity from sin and reconciling mankind to God. He is to be honoured and glorified in Heaven and on earth from eternity to eternity. After all that Apostle Paul passed through, he fulfilled his purpose of reaching out to the gentile/heathen nations thereby delivering their inheritance in Christ Jesus to them. All things worked together for the above-mentioned personalities. In view of this, I see ALL THINGS (not some things) working together for your good and to your advantage no matter what you are going through now or what you have passed through in the past in Jesus precious name. I see you fulfilling your purpose in grand style by the help of the Almighty God in Jesus precious name. It is well with you!

REJECTED BUT SUCCESSFUL.

The Stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner/chief headstone. This is the Lord`s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes/sight.........................Builders are very important people as they are involved in building houses, structures etc. Interestingly, there is no builder of houses and structures that does not make use of stones. Stones of different sizes, shapes and qualities are used based on the type of building or structure that is required. Builders or constructors have the ability to reject a particular stone or the other based on their knowledge and experience in their field of endeavour. Some rejection of some stones may be fair or just while some rejections may be unfair and unjust. We as individuals are like stones when we came into this world. We were innocent, single, naive and subject to buildings by people around us. We were subject to teachers, parents, family members/siblings, tutors etc and they were responsible for the moulding/building of our character. As we grew up and became built gradually, we became to share our ideas, dreams, goals, aspirations and visions with them. Some of those ideas/dreams/goals/aspirations/visions were justly rejected by our builders but most of them were unjustly and unfairly rejected by them. Some people have thrown away their lifetime destiny callings due to the rejection they received from their builders while some people through courage, determination and faith in God have moved ahead to pursue their calling to destiny despite rejection from their builders. God is the one that calls every human being into one thing or the other in life and He is interested in backing up any human being that looks up to Him in absolute faith to fulfill that calling despite rejection from man. He is the authentic builder of ALL THINGS including MAN and He specializes in building rejected stones rejected by their builders to become the chief corner stone or the Head Stone. We have several individuals/personalities that were stones rejected by their builders but they later became chief corner stones by the help of God. Joseph is/was a stone that was rejected by his builders. He got a dream from God and shared it with his brothers and his father also. He was rejected but God made him the chief corner stone. David is/was also a stone that was rejected by his father. His father never thought of him becoming the king over God`s people but God made him the chief corner stone. Daniel was a foreigner in a strange land and he stood/abided by godly principles because he knew that those principles were prerequisites for successful living in that foreign land. He was rejected by some people for standing by and for those principles but God lifted him and he became the chief corner stone. Shedrac, Menshac and Abednego were also young lads in diaspora who loved God uncompromisingly and stood for godly principles, They were rejected by king Nebuchadnezzar and he thought he could terminate their lives but the King of kings rescued them from destruction and promoted them and they became the chief corner stone. Job is/was another personality who was rejected by his darling wife when he was going through trials of faith. The wife who should have stood by him through those trying moments rejected him and told him to curse God and die. She was telling him that his case was closed and that God was powerless to turn his situation around. God rewrote the story of Job, restored all that he lost and gave him a brand new beginning and he became the chief corner stone. In the new testament, our Lord Jesus Christ was also rejected. He was rejected by the teachers of the Law, the scribes and the pharisees. They rejected His message of love, Salvation and redemption of mankind to God. They masterminded Hid death and Crucifixion but God raised Him by the power of the Holy Spirit and He became the Chief Corner Stone. In our contemporary days/history, great people have been victims of rejections at one point or the other in their lives. People like Benson Idahosa, E.A Adeboye, David Oyedepo, George Adegboye, Sam Adeyemi just to mention a few were victims of rejections but by the help of God, they became celebrities/chief corner stones. Benson Idahosa was a pusher of trucks at a point in his life for survival and some people rejected him that he may not amount to anything in life but God made him a celebrity/chief corner stone before he was called to glory. E.A Adeboye never knew the comfort of shoes till he was about 15 years of age or thereabouts and he came from a very poor family to the extent that even poor people called them poor. He was rejected as somebody that could not amount to anything in life by some people but today, through the help of God, he has risen to become a celebrity/chief corner stone. David Oyedepo is/was also a victim of rejection when he started his ministry. He started his ministry with 4 people and as a fanatical preacher of prosperity, he owned 2 suits and a volkswagen beetle car. He was rejected by his close friend publicly that there was no proof of prosperity in his life but today, he is an accredited apostle of prosperity with a world wide ministry with diverse proofs that attests to his calling. George Adegboye always spoke of taking God`s word to all the nations of the earth when as at that time, he was a proud owner of a motor cycle and he never left the boundaries of Ilorin(Quara State, Nigeria). He was mocked, ridiculed and rejected by people as a joker who had nothing meaningful to do with his life but as a today, he has taken God`s word to over 100 nations of the earth. He was a victim of rejection but he became the chief corner stone by God`s help. Sam Adeyemi had always wanted to be successful. When ridiculed by poverty for a long time, he thought travelling out of Nigeria to look for greener pastures will make him successful but at the Nigerian embassy, he was refused visa several times to travel out of Nigeria. He was later told not to come back again because his international passport was stamped NO several times. He was rejected but today, he has become the chief corner stone having been a blessing to several nations of the earth in honour and dignity. Dear reader/friend, you might have been a victim of rejection just as the above-mentioned personalities were rejected at one point or the other in their lives. Hold on to that dream. Hold on to that vision. Trust in God to bring them to reality in the sight of people who rejected you because God specializes in making the rejected to become the Chief Corner Stone. I see you walking in the reality of all your laid down goals. I see you flying on the wings of your dreams and I also see your visions becoming a practical fulfillment in Jesus precious name. Please, remember me when you get to the top because you will surely get there. Shalom!

UNVEILING THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS(2).

The mystery of godliness implies conformity with God in holiness and in righteousness. Simply put, it is maintaining a daily walk with God in reverential fear. Like the Lord Jesus who followed the Father`s pattern at all times conforming to God`s pattern for our lives is what guarantees our triumph over all evil, It is what guarantees our triumph over all evil. It is what secures our all-round breakthrough. God commands us to live godly lives and if He has so commanded us, then godliness is a state we can attain in our walk with God. It comes via... !. A passionate craving for righteousness...Everyone who craves for righteousness will always be satisfied. 2. A conscious guard against spiritual emptiness...Any believer who is spiritually empty is easily vulnerable to Satan`s craftiness. So it is important to fill your spirit-man with the Word of God through consistent study and meditation. The mystery of iniquity is the devil`s antics to rob man of his divine destiny. These antics are the strongholds that withstand our precious and glorious destinies. One of such is the lying spirit. The Lying Spirit. This is a demonic influence on people that makes them utter falsehood with an intention to deceive others (tell lies). A lying spirit robs its subject of God`s presence bringing him perpetually under the wrath of God. To conquer the spirit... 1. Live in the consciousness that you carry the Seed of God...The Seed of God that we carry is our defence against sin. It is what enables us to produce godliness. Our empowerment for dominion comes as we consistently follow after righteousness. 2. Engage the power of vow...Making a vow against sin is a violent step of faith that guarantees a consistent walk in holiness. 3. Appropriate the Blood of Jesus...The Blood of Jesus brings us ultimately into God`s will through the cleansing of our sins. You become a threat to the devil every time you engage the Blood of Jesus. This prevents sin from exercising dominion over you. Benefits of Godliness. Godliness guarantees access to the promises of God. These include... 1. Divine honour...Godliness makes you shine as a star. It gives birth to rulers who naturally command dignity and honour. The Spirit of God in the righteous distinguishes and makes for enthronement. Joseph`s ascent to the throne, though in a foreign land is a testimony of the reward of living a righteous life. 2. Divine health...Some infirmities are rooted in iniquity. A lifestyle of holiness will therefore keep you healthy and strong. 3. Eternity with Christ...It is only those that overcome iniquity that will inherit the Kingdom of God. The promises of God can only be accessed through godliness. Godliness begins with accepting Jesus Christ into your heart. Therefore accept Him today as your Lord and personal Saviour and be empowered for all-round triumph.

THE GOD KIND OF LOVE.

And as He loved those who were His own in the world, He loved them to the last and to the highest degree.........................There are many definitions of the word...LOVE. It means different things to different people. I will like to write to you about divine love that originates from the all-loving God because I am known as the God`s Own Writer and I write Godly-inspired articles and write-ups. God is the creator and the originator of true love because He is love Himself. The Bible stated it metaphorically that God is love. His nature is love. The material essence with which God is made up of is love. It was love that moved Him to create man. He thought of creating a living being that is a lower than Himself in his image and likeness. He thought of granting that being inexplicable dominion over all the works of His hands on earth just as He exhibits the same dominion in Heaven. He thought of having fellowship with him daily because man has a spirit that needs to stay consistently in touch with God`s Spirit for his normal day-to-day functioning and existence. When man messed up to sin, love moved God to establish the plan of salvation, reconciliation and redemption. Love moved God to save man from his sins. Love propelled God to reconcile man to Himself after saving man from His sins and love caused God to redeem man to his original state of the edenic life. The edenic life was a unique lifestyle that was rooted in sound spiritual connectivity with God, joy, peace, abundance, prosperity, sound health, fruitfulness and success just to mention a few. Jesus Christ is/was the manifestation of God`s love to humanity as if He refused to come down from Heaven to earth to take the form of man, die for man`s sins and reconcile man to God...man would have never received God`s love. Jesus could have died at the age of 15 and redeem man to God by His shed blood because it was His sinless blood that was needed to seal the deal but God planned it that He would set up a ministry of love at the age of 30 and the ministry of love would run till He was 33 before willingly giving His life for humanity. The ministry of love that God gave Christ was rooted in compassion, pity, undeserving mercies, selflessness and everlasting love. Jesus` ministry of love which was showcased in compassion, pity, mercies, selflessness etc touched countless number of people while He was alive on this earth. For example, He had love/compassion on Blind Bartemeus and He opened his eyes. He looked with pity on a woman that was bowed/bent down permanently for seventeen years and he straightened her back. He looked upon five thousand people who were hungry and worn out after listening to His sermons and He fed them until they were filled to the brim. He delivered countless number of people from the cruel oppressions of the devil by opening their blind eyes, deaf ears, paralyzed feet etc. When Lazarus was dead and stinkingly smelling due to decay as a result of death, love moved Him to raise him from the dead. The prophetic word for today states that...He loved His own who were in the world and He loved them to the highest degree. God`s love for man is always to the highest degree but the problem of many people is that they are blind to this love. The greatest need of people is love as everybody wants to be loved. Anyone that is shown the right amount of love at infancy and childhood stage of his/her life is likely to grow up to become a responsible human being in life. We have social vices like prostitution, drug-addiction, armed robbery etc because the victims of these vices were starved of genuine love when they were young. We have to come to the knowledge of God`s love for us and accept the truth of that knowledge. God loves us and that love is eternal. If you are not born again, accept that love by giving your life to Christ Jesus. If you are born again, grow in that love by living a Spirit-controlled life...a life that is ruled and controlled by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always speaking to our spirits/hearts. As we catch what He is saying to us per time, we will continue to grow in love because God`s love is shed abroad continuously in our hearts by the Holy Spirit and one of the cardinal fruits of the Spirit-controlled life is love. The Holy Spirit wants to inspire you as a result of His love ministry to open that orphanage. He wants to inspire someone to start reaching out to prison inmates. He wants to inspire somebody to reach out to social miscreants on our streets. He wants to inspire someone reading this article to clear off prostitution, drug-trafficking, child-trafficking from the nations of the earth especially Nigeria. He wants to inspire someone to reach out to teenagers and the younger generations in preparation for a glorious adulthood, relationships and marriages. These are love-driven-Holy Ghost-motivated/inspired-ideas which He wants to transfer into your spirit/heart but you have to be sensitive to Him always by being in the Spirit and saying NO to all forms of carnality. I believe that if Christians in Nigeria and other parts of the world will take it as a personal responsibility to love other people than themselves genuinely the way God loves them, our world will be a better place to live in. This is coming straight from my heart of hearts....Shalom!

UNVEILING THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS(1).

The will of God concerning you is that you walk in holiness. That means your calling is to a lifestyle of righteousness. It is holiness that identifies you with God for He is the Most Holy God. Doing the will of God is what enables you access His promises. Thus, in your walk with God, perfection should be your ultimate target. However, until there is a departure from iniquity, there can be no arrival at holiness. According to the scriptures, there is a mystery of iniquity that works unrighteousness in us but thank God, there is the greater mystery of godliness that makes a lifestyle of holiness a possible feat for us. What is a Mystery? A mystery implies hidden truth...that which is concealed from man but open to God. It only comes to us via revelation and transcends sensual knowledge. The Mystery of Iniquity. This is the working of satan with all his craftiness and deception, through his agents to make us fall into sin thus corrupting their destinies and robbing them of their glory and dignity. The Mystery of Godliness. This is God`s likeness. It implies thinking, talking and behaving like God. It is the summation of righteousness, holiness, purification, sanctification and perfection. It is God working in man to bring him out of corruption into holiness. The spirit of iniquity is always at war with the spirit of holiness because the devil wants to deprive you of glory and honour. However, temptation is not sin. It is the decision point between the mystery of iniquity and the mystery of godliness. Agents of Iniquity. 1. Unclean spirits. These are demons responsible for sinful lifestyles. They are behind the battles against every glorious destiny. Unclean spirits make people do dirty/sinful things. The counter force against these spirits is the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Holiness). The Holy Spirit is the permanent resident Helper. He is the Spirit of power and might that can deliver you from all forms of satanic forces. The Holy Spirit also purifies you of all uncleanliness by fire. . 2. Spirit of this world...It takes away from you every consciousness of heaven and makes you earthly-minded with no connectivity to Heaven. It operates through the five human senses to keep you carnal. However, there is heaven`s grace and strength for the righteous. This can be accessed via the provision that Christ has made available through God`s word. a. Spirit of love... Passionate love for God and His Word will keep your heart captivated by God and enable you escape undue consciousness of the things of the world. b. Right company...Keeping the wrong company influences you and makes you go against God`s perfect will. To live a godly life therefore, you must keep the right company. c. Guard what you see...Your eyes are one of the gateways to your soul. Therefore, be careful about what you watch. d. Guard what you hear...As faith comes by hearing, so does iniquity and worldliness. Therefore, be mindful of what you listen to. Benefits of Godliness. (1). Divine Favour. (2). Fresh unction/empowerment. Your connectivity to the mystery of godliness begins with accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour. Become born again today and receive power to exercise dominion over the mystery of iniquity.

THE SPIRIT OF LIFE.

And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.........................The story of creation is a very interesting story that opened the Bible to us. Among all of God`s creation, Man is worthy of note because the Holy Trinity were involved in man`s creation...For God said, let us make man in our own image and after our likeness and let them have dominion over the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, the beast of the field and every thing that creeps on the ground. Of all God`s creation, man is the only one that was created in the image and the likeness of God. When he was to be created, God moulded the clay/dust of the earth into a unique statue and He breathed into the statue and the statue gave birth to man...a living being. God breathed His Spirit into man and man became a living being. Without God`s Spirit in man, man would have been lifeless, motionless, immovable and useless but the Holy Spirit who resulted from the breath of the Almighty God gave life, meaning, significance and usefulness to that motionless statue of clay called man. The LIFE that the Holy Spirit gave to man resulted in the creation of the vital organs needed for the day-to-day functioning of God`s man. Without these organs, man would still have been regarded as dead. For example, the Holy Spirit who resulted from the breath of the Almighty God created the life-organs of man which includes the heart, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, liver, spleen just to mention a few. These organs gave life and meaning to the existence of man. Can you imagine a man without a heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc...that man is as good as dead. So in summary, the Holy Spirit gave life to the normal functioning of the organs of the body of man at creation. When man fell, he was Spiritually disconnected from God. The Spirit that gave him life left him and sickness came into being. Sickness tampered with the organs that gave life and significance to man and man became a weakling which often times led to his death. Sickness dealt with the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, skin and other vital organs of the body of man and man became dead. As a matter of fact, that was when death came into the world. It was sickness which came as a result of sin that opened the door to physical death. God had always wanted to fellowship with man because man is the exact image and the likeness of Him. The angels were not created in His image and neither were the host of Heaven fashioned in His likeness. The fellowship God had with man was on-going and consistent until sin came in to separate man from God. This is why it is absolutely impossible for God to fellowship intimately with a sinful man because His eyes are to pure and holy to behold iniquity. The Law of Moses was instituted to deal with sin but instead of combating sin, sin grew and multiplied greatly. God, in His infinite wisdom, knowledge and understanding had to look for another way out. The way that He schemed out was to send forth His only begotten Son to die for man in order to restore the fellowship that was lost in the beginning. Indeed, Christ died but He also resurrected. His resurrection from the dead sealed the fellowship between God and man that was lost at the beginning. It is to be noted clearly that it is the Holy Spirit that gave life to man at his creation also raised Christ triumphantly from the grave of death. If you have accepted Christ into your life, the Holy Spirit is in you to give life to your mortal body. The same Spirit that created you in the beginning is in you to give life to you. The Holy Spirit is in you to restore life to you. If there is anything in your body that is tampering with the life of God in you in the form of sickness and diseases, the Holy Spirit is in you to bring about restorations. You can activate the power of the Holy Spirit that is in you by living a holy lifestyle. As long as sin that led to sickness and diseases in the beginning is dealt with by embracing a holy lifestyle, living a healthy life by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit becomes cheap. I see the Holy Spirit restoring abundant life to everything within you as you consciously and deliberately choose to embrace a holy lifestyle in Jesus precious name. The amazing power of resurrection will wrought amazing wonders in you by the help and assistance of the Holy Spirit. Shalom!

PERFECTING YOUR DOUBLE PORTION ENCOUNTER VIA THANKSGIVING.

To keep the fire of your double portion encounter burning, you must be thankful and full of the word of God. Thanksgiving and meditation on God`s word are two important requirements for keeping burning the fire of double portion encounter. The third requirement is prayer. Prayer Mountain is the mountain of change. Everyone that wants to get out of their chain must go to the prayer mountain which is the prayer altar. In the Bible, Jesus Christ went to the mountain to pray and by the time He came down, He was manifesting power. Double portion will not deliver through wishing but through prayer. Keeping the fire burning is a personal responsibility. No one can know your spiritual state than you do. When you notice that your fire is dwindling, you should refuel/re-fire through prayers. If you are on fire, it will show and if you are not on fire, it will be evident. When your prayer fire is going down, you will see little problems overwhelming you easily. You do not know the challenge that will come next, so it is important you stay on fire always. If you are on fire, demons will run away from you because they will not to be consumed by the fire around you. When you are on fire, you will know what is about to happen...this is because the Bible says that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and will show us things to come. If you are prayerful, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit who will reveal unto you things to come. If you are prayerful, your words, clothes, house, cars will be full of fire. We are in the days when the fire of satan is raging. Calamity, disasters, diseases, economic problems are rife. If you are not on fire(prayerful), you will be consumed by the raging fire of the devil. You cannot command in the supernatural without fire or else satan will deal with you and you will be helpless. One of the missions of Jesus Christ while on earth was to raise a new generation of believers that are full of fire of the Holy Spirit. To excel and be in command in this year, you must be on fire. No strange fire can burn around you if you are on fire of the Holy Spirit. When you carry the celestial fire, you become untouchable and unstoppable. WHY MUST I BE PRAYERFUL? You must be prayerful in order to... 1. Get the fire of the Holy Ghost. More prayer, more fire. 2. Keep or maintain the fire. 3. Emit or manifest the fire. 4. Preserve the fire. You can preserve the fire till death like Elisha whose dead body raised the dead. Prayer is the medium for fanning the fire of the Holy Spirit. The prayer altar is the altar of fire, of deliverance and healing. Whenever you go on the prayer altar, you contact fire and virtue(s). The Apostles prayed and were filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost. Their words became powerful. No business was more important to the Apostles than prayer. You must be fervent in prayer and pray without ceasing. Pray until you are enveloped by the fire of the Holy Ghost. Pray for grace to pray fervently daily. If you are not born again, God does not listen to the prayers of sinners...You should therefore give your life to Jesus so that all your prayers can be answered.

THE GOD KIND OF FAITH.

Abraham did not weaken in faith when he considered the impotence of his own body which is as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old or the barrenness of Sarah`s womb. No unbelief or distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he give praise and glory to God. Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He has promised. That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness. But the words...it was credited to him were not written for his sake alone but they were written for our sakes too. Righteousness, standing acceptable to God will be granted and credited to us who believe in God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and raised to secure our justification.........................FAITH is an inevitable asset that we need in order to have a quality walk with God and also to access our inheritance in Christ. Without it, the Bible says that it is impossible to please God. People that recorded remarkable feats in the Bible were men and women of faith. In the prophetic text for today, faith is simply described as believing God`s words and promises to us. When you believe the totality of God`s words and promises to you and accept them as part and parcel of your being and existence, you can be regarded as a man and woman of FAITH. When words and promises of God come to us, it may be difficult for our minds to accept and believe them because of the situations and circumstances that may surround us when those words and promises come to us. The human mind may find it difficult to accept and believe God`s words and promises of fruitfulness when one has been barren and unfruitful for a long period of time. That was the case of Abraham. When God`s word and promise of fruitfulness came unto him, He was seventy-five years of age. By the time he was approaching hundred years of age, his mind found it difficult to believe and accept God`s word of fruitfulness unto him. Our circumstances and situations are FACTS of life and as a matter of fact, they are true. It is medically true that Abraham and Sarah were barren but the beauty of faith is that IT CHANGES FACTS. When the faith of Abraham rose up within him, the facts which were revealed as the impotence of his body, barrenness of Sarah`s womb were thrown into the trash-can. When you pay attention to the facts surrounding your situations and circumstances, unbelief/distrust/faithlessness sets in. With unbelief at work in your life, your faith will not be able to produce and when your faith is not of the sufficient level, you will not be able to access the desired promise of God. Instead of giving in to unbelief in the view of the indisputable facts on ground, Abraham started to give praise and glory to God knowing fully well that God was able to do what He has promised. Singing praises to God is a powerful spiritual weapon that gives credence to our faith. When we praise God, He is enthroned and lifted up and He goes to work to do all that He has promised us. It is very difficult to praise God in the midst of doubts and unbelief but it is a proven weapon of moving God to do what He has promised us. When Abraham was singing praises and giving glory to God instead of giving in to unbelief, his faith was fired up to a sufficient level according to God`s scale of measurement and His faith was credited to him as righteousness. When your FAITH is credited to your account as RIGHTEOUSNESS, there is no promise of God that you will not be able to access as written in the Holy Bible. It is the same year that Abraham was hundred years of age that the promise of fruitfulness was delivered unto him. The faith he had in God changed the facts of his circumstances and he became a proud father of Isaac even at hundred years of age. The good news that I have for you today is that you can have the faith of Abraham if you believe in God who raised Christ Jesus from the dead because of your sins and for your justification. After the faith has been deposited in you at new birth, you will have to feed that faith by feeding on God`s word consistently. In that way, your faith will be able to grow to a sufficient level to access the promises of God unto you. I see you accessing all that is yours by inheritance as you grow your faith to a sufficient level to access them by feeding on God`s word. Shalom!

CREATING THE PLATFORM FOR DIVINE VISITATION.

Fruitfulness is the heritage of every child of God. Before you were born, God had already decreed your fruitfulness. To be fruitful means to produce good results in all areas of life. The fall of man notwithstanding, God did not withdraw the covenant of fruitfulness. Unfruitfulness therefore is the handiwork of satan. All-round fruitfulness glorifies God because this is His children`s right. It terminates dryness and barrenness in your life. The sickle for all-round fruitfulness is faith-powered praise and through this you provoke God`s visitation. Faith is the expression of what is written by God concerning your life. It is a weapon for fighting and attaining conquest over all your life`s battles. Without faith, we cannot walk with God or even please Him. Abraham was faith personified in his days. He and his wife-Sarah were old. Hope was almost lost about bearing a child but their faith in God completed the work for them. They became fruitful and bore Isaac. Remember at all times that there is no hopeless situation in the presence of God. All it requires is for your faith to be in place. The devil always threaten the faith of man with all kinds of issues that creates doubts and disbelief. Faith and praise are covenant virtues that enhance your value in the presence of God. Your faith gives God pleasure to open up His treasure. Your heart must be open to Him for you to receive your desires. Through faith in Him, impossibilities are turned to possibilities. Also, praise pleases God, so both faith and praise are the two important virtues that please God by which you can access his treasure. When you please God through your praise, He opens up the heaven for you to experience dominion and sudden visitation in all areas of your life. Faith pleases God hence it amplifies and empowers your praise to produce maximum result. Faith therefore is the weapon of war to which satan has no power of resistance. Faith in God`s promises for your life will definitely result in answers that will glorify Him. Faith in God rescued Sarah from the power of barrenness. In conclusion, praise is the sickle that harvests the miracle you received through faith. A sinful heart cannot praise God acceptably as such praise is an abomination before God. Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Saviour for your praise to be acceptable.

ON YOUR WAY TO THE PROMISE LAND.

And if you will go with us, it shall be that whatever good that the Lord does to us, the same we will do to you..........................Just as the Almighty God spoke to Moses about leading the children of Israel from Egypt and granting them their inheritance in Him, God also spoke to me in the year 2004 to...Raise up a people that will develop a godly view about their lives through the power of writing with inspirations coming from the Holy Spirit via the Holy Bible.

MAXIMIZING THE BLESSEDNESS OF FASTING.

Fasting is abstinence from food to seek the face of God. Fasting is not optional for a Christian as it is a command from God. Through fasting and prayer, you are entitled to blessing that cannot be cursed by the devil. It is essential to engage prayer with fasting otherwise it`s purpose will be defeated. You abstain from food in order to obtain fresh empowerment. Jesus too fasted for 40 days and nights in the wilderness so you too should fast and pray in order to experience double portion. We are in the fasting days of the church. You cannot partake supernatural experience without prayer and fasting. Jesus said you need to fast so that signs and wonders can follow you. Fasting turns you into a supernatural man which makes satan and his forces to keep away from your life(your finances, children, career, business and so on). Fasting for all is for our profiting in accordance to the commandment of God. It is to groom us and not to grieve us. I implore you to meditate on the whole book of Isaiah 58. Beware of your sellout of your birthright and destiny by not fasting as satan could use food to trap you as he did to Adam in the garden of Eden. HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE BLESSEDNESS OF FASTING. You determine how you are blessed through the following... 1. Define your goals and objectives from the onset. Have a focus and target throughout your fasting period. Take a particular issue as your prayer request to pray on daily basis. 2. Prepare to engage your heart. God looks at your heart and not your face. Hannah at shiloh engaged her heart and received her request. 3. Confess every known sin and iniquity. Sin and iniquities hinder prayer which then result in delay of your blessing. 4. Come neat without any spiritual blemish. Settle any known issue you think could stand as a stumbling block to your blessing such as unforgiveness, bitterness, offence, grudges, malice etc. Always approach God with an open heart. 5. Demonstrate the spirit of love towards all. Give also to the poor as it will give speed to the answers of your prayers. Visit and share your blessings with the widows, orphan and the afflicted. Note that you cannot operate in faith and receive anything from God with bitterness or hatred in your heart. 6. Come with thanksgiving, praise and worship, engage yourself with spiritual songs to God. 7. Meditate on scriptures relevant to your goals. BLESSEDNESS OF FASTING. 1. Sanctification...You will be free from bad habit through fasting and prayer. 2. Answers to prayers...God will show up in answers to your prayers. 3. Showers of blessing...If you are born again and you are living in sin, this is the time to say NO to sin and YES to Jesus. Or have you been born again one time or the other but backslidden, Jesus is saying...I will forgive you, come over, let me purge you again before it is too late. It`s your season of greatness!

EXPLOITS BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and all the ends of the earth. Go into the world and preach the gospel to all men. He that believes shall be saved and he that does not believe shall be condemned. Lo, I am with you till the close of the age..............................Christ...the Son of God is our Saviour and the propitiation for our sins and the sins of as many people that will believe in what He did for them on the cross of Calvary. He lived on earth to show us how we ought to walk and rule over the affairs of life as Adam did. He also died and resurrected triumphantly from the grave to reconcile us back to God so that we can be heirs of God and not be treated as dogs in life. His ministry on earth was accomplished by the mighty POWER of the Holy Spirit. When He died on the cross, it was the mighty POWER of the Holy Spirit that raised Him triumphantly from the grave for if He did not resurrect from the grave, there will be nothing called CHRISTIANITY. When Christ was done with His assignment on earth, He granted His disciples who were saved through His ministry...the ministry of RECONCILIATION. Their task was to reconcile mankind back to God by getting them saved from the yoke of sin. It is interesting to note that they could not embark on this task without the POWER of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and endued them with power from on high, they became brand new men. They were able to accomplish the task of reconciling people to God effortlessly by preaching the message of Salvation to them. Now, the Apostles have finished their assignment on earth and the message of RECONCILIATION has been handed down not to pastors alone but to ALL CHRISTIANS including YOU if you have been saved. The message of reconciliation comes in various forms either by preaching, speaking, writing, acting/dramatizing and singing to people with a view to winning their hearts to God. It takes the POWER of the Holy Spirit to effectively disseminate the message of reconciliation to people and win their hearts to God because it is the Holy Spirit that will give you the message that you will get across to the people. It is the Holy Spirit that will breathe upon your message which will bring about a desired change in the hearts of the people which in turn will bring about the expected reconciliation and change of lives in the positive way. For example, in the year 2004, the Holy Spirit gave me a message/vision of inspiring people across the nations of the earth with the POWER of the printed/written word with inspirations being drawn from the Holy Bible and from that year till now, He has given me ideas as to how to accomplish this glorious task of reaching out to people across the globe. For example, in that same year 2004, He gave me the idea of sending articles in the form of e-mails to people`s e-mail boxes and through this avenue, over 1500 people across the nations of the earth were reached. In the year 2007, He gave me the idea of building a website that will be a haven of divine inspirations to the nations and after the website was built and commissioned that same year, thousands of people in different nations were reached. As at now, the website is being hosted by GOOGLE which is one of the most visited search engines in the world. Through GOOGLE, uncountable number of people have unlimited access to my website. In the year 2009, the Holy Spirit inspired one of my friends residing in the United Kingdom to build a blog for me and after it was launched, I was given the admin details and over 90 inspirational articles has been posted till date on the blog. Interestingly, GOOGLE is also hosting the blog and uncountable number of people across the nations have unlimited access to it even on their phones. As at today, we have over 4000 page views on the blog in 28 nations including United States of America, Nigeria, Germany, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Ghana, Turkey, South Africa, Australia, South Korea, France, India, Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Venezuela, Colombia, Serbia, Thailand, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Finland, China, Hong Kong and Indonesia according to the dashboard statistics of the blog. In the year 2010, The Holy Spirit inspired me to create a Facebook group that will be a source of inspirations to people and the group was created. As at today, we have over 1000 people on the group. As we entered this year 2013, The Holy Spirit inspired me to spread His message of reconciliation to as many christian/inspirational groups as possible on Facebook and I sent invitations to a number of Christian/inspirational Facebook groups in which some accepted my requests. As at today, I am sending this article to over 200 groups on Facebook and the people reading this write up are located in different nations of the earth. Also, this year, He inspired me to launch an sms club that will be sending text messages to people across the nations. The sms club under my leadership was inaugurated and as at today, we have over 150 people located in Nigeria, United States, United Kingdom and Canada on our sms mailing list. He has also spoken to me concerning some things pertaining to my ministry in years to come and I have jotted them down in my Book of Visions waiting for them to materialize and come to fruition in His own appointed time. In my story, It was the Holy Spirit that gave me the vision in the year 2004, He gave me the ideas/strategies to go about its fulfillment in the years that proceeded and He is the one inspiring the messages that I am sending on all the Outreach platforms that my ministry is serving today. Show me any ministry/vision/dream that is born and sustained by the Holy Spirit and I will show you an enduring, prosperous and fruitful ministry, vision or dream. Show me any ministry, vision or dream that is being sustained by mere talents, gifts and human skills/mannerisms and I will show you one that is bound to crash in a matter of time. It is time to LOOK UP to the Holy Spirit for His POWER to birth the visions/message of reconciliation in reaching out to lives across the nations of the earth. It`s your time to manifest the Sonship you possess in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

OPERATING WITH THE KINGDOM POWER.

The Lord`s prayer goes thus...Our Father who hath in Heaven, thy Kingdom come...We always pray that God`s Kingdom should come on earth. John the baptist came to preach the gospel...preparing the way for Jesus and baptizing people. He was a man that told the truth as presented by the word of God. When Herod took Herodias...his brother`s wife as his own wife, John told Herod to his face that what he did was wrong. It came a time that John was arrested and taken to the prison. He further sent his disciples to Christ to ask if Christ was the messiah or should they be expecting another one. Why the question? He was expecting the messiah to come and save him from the situation that he found himself. Once he did not see the manifestation of the messiah in his situation, he started to doubt. Christ`s reply to John`s disciples was straight as He said that they should go and tell John what they saw Him(Christ) do...the miracles and the preaching of the good news. Christ further told the crowd about John the baptist. He said that none had risen greater than John the baptist among mankind that is born of a woman but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John. This implies that John had the Kingdom of God within him but sadly, he was looking out for a Messiah. Christ could have easily delivered him from the prison but He was expecting John to respond as a man of the Kingdom. Christ was talking about the Kingdom of God suffering violence and the violent taking it by force. For John to have been delivered, he needed to have been violent by taking his place in God`s Kingdom. As a child of God`s Kingdom, we need to forcefully take what belongs to us. Christ expected much from John as a man who knew a lot about the Kingdom. God knows what to do about situations and challenges we go through but he needs us to react to those situations before He takes action meaning that it is our reactions that determines God`s actions. Come to think of it...why would Jesus Christ be praying while His disciples were sleeping. The burden he was bearing was just more than the disciples reasoning and He needed to be violent in His own context for actually achieving what He came to do. The Kingdom of God is yours not by complaining that your situation will change but by action. David made inquiry when he lost all that he had and he was able to reclaim all that he lost. My friend, to take back all that the enemy has stolen from you...you must stand up and operate with God`s Kingdom power. When Christ`s time was not yet up, he did not allow Himself to be arrested because He knew that it was not yet time...a good example of operating in God`s Kingdom power. It is our responsibility to operate with God`s Kingdom power by not accepting anything that comes our way but to be ready to stay firm and not to take NO for an answer. At this point, I will like to inform you that if you put your hope in the kingdom of this world, please try and have a re-think because the Kingdom of this world is already failing big time. See how the global economy is crashing and people can`t really explain it. The Kingdom of this world is already collapsed. The Kingdom of God will cater for your welfare as it is of great concern to God and as such, you cannot fail. How can you operate in God`s Kingdom if you don`t know the King and if you are not sure if you are a bonafide child of the Kingdom?

ABUNDANT LIFE.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy but I came that you may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance...............................The word of God is a prophetic picture that shows the end from the beginning. In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth with Light, firmament, green vegetation, waters(seas, oceans, rivers, lakes etc) and animals. As if this was not enough, God also created man in His image and after His own likeness. In fact, He breathed into a moulded clay and His breath(Spirit) gave rise to man and man became a living being. Man was superior to every living thing that had breath that existed because of the spirit, soul and body that man had. God blessed man with fruitfulness and multiplication and granted him inexplicable dominion over all things. Everything on earth was subject to man`s dominion and man had authority, prestige, power, dominion and beauty until the robber(the devil) showed up. The robber is good at selling lies to take his victims captive. If we can successfully counter the devil`s lies with the truth of God`s word, we will never fall captive to his lies but we cannot overcome his lies if we are not conversant with the truth of God`s word as contained in the Holy Bible. The truth of God`s word given to man in the beginning was that man must not eat of the fruit of a particular tree called the tree of life but when the thief came to man, he sold a lie to him that if man could eat of that fruit, man would be exactly like God and that nothing would happen to him. When man accepted the lie, man fell flat completely and lost all the glory, beauty, dominion and colour that God gave him in the beginning as he was spiritually dead and a spiritually dead man cannot access the treasures of the promises of God. So the devil stole the dominion, authority, beauty and colour of man. He killed man spiritually as man lost contact and fellowship with God and he finally destroyed man as man was sent out from the garden of pleasure/dominion and was reduced to nothingness by depending on the sweat of his brow for survival which was not so in the beginning at the garden of pleasure. But the story did not end there as Jesus came. Jesus...the Son of God born of a woman and coming after the order of the flesh came to showcase the kind of dominion that Adam showcased in the garden of Eden. He exhibited dominion over the fish of the sea, the fig-tree, the waves of the sea, demons and agents of darkness and He worked in supernatural prosperity. He sacrificed His life to reconcile man to God and to recover all that the devil stole from man and to take man back to the state that he was in the beginning at the garden of pleasure. His sacrificed LIFE gave LIFE to the stolen, killed, destroyed, battered, tattered, buffeted life that man inherited from the devil and in turn gave man abundant life of dominion, prestige, beauty, colour, fruitfulness, joy, abundance, health and prosperity. He that will enjoy the abundant life that Christ has to offer must of a necessity believe and accept all that Christ did for him/her on the cross of Calvary and he/she must be a fanatical follower of Christ in giving attention to His words as written in the Holy Bible. The devil is eternally defeated as far as Heaven is concerned. With his eyes wide open, Christ went down to hell and stripped him naked of all powers and dominions and authorities and splendor and he is left with nothing except LIES. He is still in the business of selling lies to people especially believers because he wants to steal from them, kill them spiritually and eventually destroy them in hell. The only way a believer can continue to silence the devil is to be a studious reader of God`s word in order to locate what Christ has done for him/her via redemption. The devil is still selling lies to some Christians that they will continue to live a sickly life when the word states clearly that...He took away our infirmities and carried away our sickness so that by His stripes we have been healed. The devil is also selling lies to some Christians that they will die barren not having the children of their own when the word states clearly that...Be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. Kings and nations shall come and proceed out of your stock. He is also selling lies to some people that they may not live long due to untimely death when the word says that...With long life will I satisfy you and show you my Salvation. A child among them shall die a hundred years old. You shall come to your grave in old age just like a shock of grain goes up in its season. The devil is still going about aimlessly selling lies of failure, depression, poverty etc to Christians when Christ has made provisions for them. The unfortunate thing about this cycle is that when the devil`s lies are believed and accepted as true, he will go ahead to steal all that Christ has done for the believer. If he succeeds in stealing all that Christ has done for the believer, he will proceed to kill and destroy that precious life. On the other side of the coin, if a Christian accepts and believes all that Christ did for him/her in redemption, sooner or later, he/she will start to see the fruits of redemption in his/her life. The fruits of redemption includes health/healing, fruitfulness in all of life`s ramifications, success, joy, dominion, prosperity, beauty, colour, prestige etc. May your life spring forth with the full blessedness of redemption having surrendered your life to the AUTHOR OF LIFE Himself....Christ Jesus and having escaped the yoke/bondage of the devil that is in our world through multifaceted LIES/DECEPTION. I see your life springing forth with divine blessings, peace, joy, prosperity and colour as you follow Christ fanatically by obeying His words as contained in the Scriptures. It is well with you!
