- You belong to the light
You are not subject to the power of darkness. In the Gospel of John 3:20, Jesus says, “For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” From the beginning of Creation, God separated Light and Darkness. “And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.” (Genesis 1:4). Because these two things had already been separated by God, they cannot coexist and are incompatible but God has placed Light over darkness, in the book of John 1:5, it says “The light… Continue Reading → - Be free from a familiarity spirit.m4ahttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4rxbz-15fc1b3 Avoid being too familiar with the wrong destinations
- The greatest mistake
WRONG KIND OF WORSHIP “And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker., Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.” Acts 14:11-13. Human beings by nature are created to worship. The vacuum cannot be filled by another thing or another activity. Hence, worshiping has become… Continue Reading → - And you shall be enlarged
To enlarge means to make it bigger, implying that anytime there is enlargement, there must be two important factors involved – the object to be enlarged and the fellow who is going to be the enlarger. You are the one to be enlarged and the enlarger is the One spoken about in Genesis 1:28: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”… Continue Reading → - True enlightenment
Luke 23:45[45]And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. Life can often feel like a battlefield, with both apparent and hidden enemies fighting against you for unclear reasons. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that victory is always within reach, no matter how great the challenges we face may seem. Success is simply a matter of overcoming these challenges and achieving a positive outcome inspite of terrifying opposition. Problems or challenges are a necessity for growth. Growth is winning against pressing limitations. The bigger the limitation the bigger the testimony when overcome…. Continue Reading → - You will rise again
YOU WILL RISE AGAIN I know you’re so bothered about your sudden downfall, in business, career and ministry. Your marriage might not be working right now. You could be considering quitting or cheating on your spouse because suddenly nothing is moving the way you anticipated Jesus Christ But you will rise again What you have to understand is that the downfall of a man is not his end. Pruning is a necessity for growth and when God disciplines his children it is to open their eyes to their full potential without depending on external factors to boost their identity. And… Continue Reading → - And it crumbled down
Genesis 1:2-5 NIV [2] Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. [3] And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. [4] God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. [5] God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. And God said let there be light and it was so. The light became introduced because darkness abounded. Darkness ruled and… Continue Reading → - You deserve freedom
Luke 13:16, So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound think of it for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath? Freedom is not just a desirable thing, it is absolutely essential. Prisoners know this all too well, as they long for it every day. People who are sick and in pain cannot be truly happy until they are free from their suffering. There was a woman who had been bent over for eighteen years. She came to the synagogue where Jesus was, determined to be healed. She had been bound… Continue Reading → - You are being renewed everyday
2 Corinthians 4:16 NIV Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. There are times we get tempted to give up , and most of the times convince our mind that we just have to let God take control of everything whilst we do nothing. Yes it’s normal to get tired of trying but what does the Bible actually say we must do when confronted with challenges? David was confronted by a vicious enemy Saul , sitting idle would have resulted in his death so he resorted… Continue Reading → - Know God
The depth and significance of God’s love for us can only be truly understood when viewed through the lens of Calvary. It is at the cross where the love of God finds its ultimate meaning and purpose, a love that is boundless and eternal. The sacrifice made by Jesus on the cross goes beyond simply giving us peace and a sense of purpose in life; it is a profound act that saves us from the righteous anger of God and reconciles us with a holy God who was separated from us because of our sins. At the core of Calvary… Continue Reading → - Take heed
The Father says today, the fear of the Lord is clean. The fear of anything else is unclean, to be rejected and put under your feet as an empowered believer in My kingdom. I want to assure you that you need not fear the encroaching darkness that seems to be prevailing in the world. Do not be dismayed or overwhelmed by the godless individuals who mock the truths that you hold dear. Truth always triumphs over deceit, and my truth will remain steadfast and undeterred. In the midst of this chaos, there may be voices within the faith community that… Continue Reading → - Yes you can destroy that generational curse
When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” “Pardon me, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not… Continue Reading → - Spiritual growth takes time“If it dies, it bears much fruit.” John 12:24 ESV God takes two days to grow a mushroom but sixty years to grow an oak tree. So, would you like to be a mushroom or an oak tree? Spiritual growth takes time. Have you been wondering, “Why is it taking me so long to improve? I am still struggling with many of my weaknesses.” Why? Because spiritual growth, like natural growth, takes some time. The best fruit ripens gradually. Jesus said, “Truly, truly…unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies,… Continue Reading →
- Love
Love is a beautiful thing. A gift that is two way ,sweet in giving and receiving. God Himself is love and He blessed us with this gift so we can experience it and share with others. What makes it so special is, no matter how much you give you can never run out of it. While love is a priceless gift we were given freely, we still don’t give and receive enough of it. It has become so scarce that the majority now believes that it doesn’t exist. Some are even using it as a tool to manipulate others. So… Continue Reading → - Don’t just pray, believe
“You can pray for anything, and if you believe…it will be yours.” Mk 11:24 NLT The Bible says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb 11:6 NIV). God’s greatest desire is to be believed. You can pray regularly and ritually, and even feel closer to God as a result, yet not expect Him to answer your prayers or for your situation to change. Peter had been put in prison and sentenced to death, and his execution was scheduled for the next day. So, the church prayed all night for his release. And it happened miraculously. God put the… Continue Reading → - Yes you are chosen!
The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” Judges 6:11-12 NIV There are times in life ,when nothing seems to make any sense. Gideon found himself caged in a mindset of fear , threshing wheat in a winepress. Wrong tool for the job right , funny how fear can drive us to obscurity.Fear is… Continue Reading → - God has not forsaken you
“You will deny Me three times.” Luke 22:61 NKJV The Bible says, “Peter remembered the word of the Lord…‘Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.’ So Peter went out and wept bitterly” (vv. 61-62 NKJV). What is it that saves us? Our good works? No, it’s our faith in Christ. “By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph 2:8-9). Now you understand the words of Christ to Peter: “I have prayed for you, that your faith should not… Continue Reading → - God has not forsaken you

- Shut yourself in with God
“I long for you, O God.” Ps 42:1 NLT Are you having difficulty understanding God’s ways? We all struggle with that. Even though we can look back and see how His hand of blessing and guidance has been upon us, at times we still feel afraid and alone. Jesus Himself cried, “My God…why hast thou forsaken me?” (Mt 27:46). Those words could be interpreted, “I may not understand what’s happening right now, but I know you’re still my God.” What assurance! Have you ever watched a child reach for a parent’s hand and say, “Slow down; you’re walking too fast”?… Continue Reading → - Be on your guard
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith.” 1Co 16:13 NIV Sometimes you experience more problems after you become a Christian than you did before. “Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering” (Heb 10:32 NLT). Consider the life of Christ. “After his baptism…the heavens…opened…And a voice…said, ‘This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy’” (Mt 3:16-17 NLT). Then we read: “Jesus was led…into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil” (Mt 4:1 NLT). First the call, then the… Continue Reading → - Great example of FaithThose who went before us have earned a good reputation because of the faith they had in God. They kept on holding on to what the Lord has said, not because He had done it for them, but His Word. So the only way for us to defend our faith is through the Word of […] Great example of Faith
- The Love you deserve
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.1 John 4:10 NIV When grace abounds, growth is imminent. Love is a language misunderstood by many for frailty but love is true domination. Love is the spine of every creation and community today. But what’s so mysterious about love that many people can’t understand it? In the beginning, the earth was covered in darkness and God the origin of light spoke light into existence for he loved the cosmos so much. In his pursuit to reflect… Continue Reading → - Walking by Faith.
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2Co 5:7 NKJV Jesus said: “I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this…world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world” (John 16:33 MSG). Life keeps handing us situations that test our faith. How do you know how much weight a bridge can handle? By testing it. Faith in action is moving towards a certain goal when all you see is persecution around you. Daniel’s success made him a target. Your success can make… Continue Reading → - The gift of graceFreely I received and freely I give you this gift!!We are the enlightened generation for He chose us for this season to be glorified in him. Who thought we would make it this far it’s only by his grace that we recieved such an astonishing gift. Yeah, this screams for celebration, we were formerly bound in the yokes of a slave master (lucifer), but are presently free in Christ Jesus. In his quest for mind control, the devil controlled our bodies, so we did things we were ashamed of and said stuff we were not even supposed to say. The… Continue Reading →
- Why lying is bad for your personal growth!
A lying tongue hates its victims, and flattering words cause ruin. Proverbs 26:28 NLT Lying is a symbol of hatred, the Bible says in the above scripture. It doesn’t matter the motive behind a lie but it’s not wise to be friends with people who are inclined to this weakness. Lying is a spirit normally used to destroy people. And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and… Continue Reading → - Whom you belong matters!
Who you are and to whom you belong affects everything else you do in this life from your social status , financial status and health status . We can’t choose our parents, skin complexion and places we are born but they are certain decisions we have to make . It is these decisions that really gives us the edge in life or keep us in poverty. Every day we are faced with a lot of decisions some minor and others big, but in every decision you make always consider the consequence of your actions (where you are going and what… Continue Reading → - God is good

- Why you should pray against Witchcraft (1)
Death is the punishment for witchcraft. Exodus 22:18 CEV Witchcraft consists of speaking evil words against someone. Words have life and when evil words are spoken against someone, this can have a negative effect if the person is not fasting and praying. The demons will take those words and launch an attack.The supernatural world feeds on feelings and emotions of the living ,thus words create either positively or negatively. A man or woman who speaks to spirits as a medium or necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them. Their blood guilt shall be upon them. Leviticus… Continue Reading → - Did you know this??
You are built and wired to do greater things, this is not a new idea but the tangible wisdom which is concealed from the blind. Just as you are reading this you will come to comprehend the power within you!! A life that is seen from the correct lens constantly yields results. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.Philippians 2:13 NLT Envision a new you. Yes, a new breed uncompromised in wealth, prosperity, and an influencer in your society. Being a co-heir in the kingdom of God we contain… Continue Reading → - You should give up these things to succeed!
“One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek.” Ps 27:4 NKJV Success is the main thing everyone is aiming for but few reach it. Wisdom begets ideas and stamina. As Christians we have an added miracle since God reveals hidden mysteries to us ,with just obedience to his word and we will be one step ahead of our peers. Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success. Proverbs 15:22 NLT The world is a jungle, we are competing for resources and influence. The more resources you have the more significant you can be…. Continue Reading → - Don’t even THINK about quitting!
“We don’t give up and quit.” 2Co 4:8 TLB Life is a battle, to get what we deserve we need to fight. Adam was instructed to cultivate the land to survive, thus no sweat no food. In working towards objectives there is bound to be challenges and we are to uncover ways to be productive despite opposing forces. At times the battle seems to be so hard some find themselves powerless. Friends desert us, and family members act as if they don’t know us anymore. In all these things we are conquerors through Christ who worketh in us. Doesn’t… Continue Reading → - In Christ you are beyond condemnation
“The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” Jn 14:30 The Bible says, “The accuser of our brothers…has been hurled down. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Rev 12:10-11 NIV). Satan is “the accuser.” On what basis does he accuse us? Sin! It’s not that God won’t forgive sin, but that when we refuse to acknowledge it and repent of it, we give Satan an opportunity to condemn us.Condemnation is a weapon to Satan thus we need to make it a habit of confessing our… Continue Reading → - Sanctification through the truth
And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. John 17:19 NKJV In the scripture above we uncover an intriguing concept about Jesus Christ.He is illustrating his objective and how he aspires to do it. Firstly he need to sanctify himself and only after sanctifying himself could we be sanctified by the truth. Sanctify meaning – To make holy; to consecrate; to set aside for sacred or ceremonial use. To free from sin; to purify. To make acceptable or useful under religious law or practice. To endorse with religious sanction. Synonyms(to make holy)… Continue Reading → - Womanhood evolutionIn my pursuit of righteousness I have discovered that there are instructions and laws that society doesn’t expect you to follow. Certain sins are being committed everyday by the society and it doesn’t look like a sin anymore, to an extent whereby you look abnormal by speaking against it. Some are falling into sin because of the fear of being judged or mocked by the majority. Even “some” servants of God can’t even address it because they fear losing congregants or they are struggling with sin as well. Child of God, the biggest mistake you can make in your spiritual… Continue Reading →
- Let God lead you
“He leads me in the paths of righteousness.” Ps 23:3 NKJV Life is full of choices, decisions, and options. It’s also full of people with substantial opinions who will attempt to advise you which way they assume you ought to go. If we could turn back the hands of time, practically all of us would transform some of our past tendencies because they have compelled us to find ourselves on the path of “wrongness” rather than “righteousness.” Sheep will gravitate toward whatever allures their instincts, such as a berry bush, even though it will take them away from the flock… Continue Reading → - The benefits of self love
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. I John 4:18 NKJV Introduction Loving yourself is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. It is important to show yourself love and to understand the true meaning of self-love. There are many benefits to self-love, such as gaining confidence, improving your life, and having a positive outlook. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of loving yourself, the power of positive thinking, and the unconditional love… Continue Reading → - Are you having nighttime experiences?
“Bless the Lord, all you…who by night, stand in the house of the Lord!” Ps 134:1 NKJV God divided time into days and nights; so, you will have daytime experiences and nighttime experiences. For example, you can have a nighttime experience in a divorce court, or in bankruptcy proceedings, or in an unemployment line, or at a graveside. And because you can’t see clearly at night, it’s easy to wonder if God is really there with you. Take heart—He is! With Pharaoh’s armies behind them and the Red Sea in front of them, the Israelites faced their greatest challenge. But… Continue Reading → - Onward and upward
“I press toward the…upward call of God.” Php 3:14 NKJV To fulfill God’s will for your life, you must do these (1) Move to a higher level of faith (See Ro 1:17). Before David killed Goliath, he first had to kill a lion and a bear. And today we’re contending with issues that require us to trust God in a greater way. (2) Seek God’s guidance about each situation that arises (See Pr 3:6). His promise is: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye” (Ps 32:8 NKJV)…. Continue Reading → - The joys of heaven 1
“We are citizens of heaven.” Php 3:20 NLT The story is told of a pastor who asked his congregation, “How many of you want to go to heaven?” Everyone raised their hand except one little boy. The pastor said, “Son, don’t you want to go to heaven?” He replied, “Yes, but I thought you were getting up a batch to go right now!” Let’s be honest, we don’t think or talk much about heaven until a loved one dies and goes there, or we grow old and feel like we have fulfilled our assignment here on earth. Then we feel… Continue Reading → - Steps to forgiveness (2)
“Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Lk 6:37 NIV Here are three more steps to forgiveness: (1) Accept people as they are and don’t try to change them. You say, “I’ll only forgive them if they change.” That just keeps you tied to them, obsessing over what they did and demanding they act in ways that you approve of. Nothing makes people less willing to change than when you try to control them and demand that they meet your requirements. Changing people isn’t your job—it’s God’s job! Your job is to choose to forgive and leave the outcome in God’s… Continue Reading → - Steps to forgiveness (1)
“Forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.” Col 3:13 NIV The misery of living with unforgiveness in your heart always lasts longer than the pain of the offense. Always! When you hold on to resentment, you open the door to depression and physical illness. Forgiving brings healing to your wounds and restores your joy. Here are two steps to help you forgive: (1) Remember that you have been unconditionally forgiven. Recall God’s grace toward you, and the price paid for your forgiveness. By refusing to show mercy, you’re like the man Jesus said was forgiven… Continue Reading → - This is a season to start afresh…Be born again to realm of possibilities in the knowledge of God…You haven’t reached your full potential yet❗There is still more you can dohttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-24jyt-1353a6d God loves you , and he is waiting for you to submit your ways to him so he can prosper you🙏
- Not hopefully but “surely”
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” Ps 23:6 NKJV The psalmist doesn’t lead off with words like “maybe,” or “perhaps,” or “possibly,” or “hopefully.” No, he says, “Surely,” which is a term of certainty. “Surely” means absolutely; without a doubt! There are a lot of things in life you can’t be sure of. You go for a physical checkup and discover you have a malignant growth. You work in the same company for years believing your job is secure, but they downsize and all you’re left with is a pink slip. You pray… Continue Reading → - What are you hiding behind?
So Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. Then he brought near the tribe of Benjamin by its families. And the family of Matri was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found. Therefore they inquired again of the Lord, “Has the man come here yet?” And the Lord answered, “He has hidden himself among the equipment.” So they ran and took him from there. When he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his… Continue Reading → - To whom do you belong?
Who you are and to whom you belong affects everything else you do in this life from your social status , financial status and health status . We can’t choose our parents, skin complexion and places we are born but they are certain decisions we have to make . It is these decisions that really gives us the edge in life or keep us in poverty. Every day we are faced with a lot of decisions some minor and others big, so in every decision, we make always consider the result of our actions (where we are going and what… Continue Reading → - 8 lessons to Learn by age 40
Embrace the Journey Most of your life will be spent in the journey, not the destination. Life is precious and each day isn’t guaranteed. If you put all your happiness in the destination, you’ll be very disappointed when you get there. This goes for physique changes, financial health, and relationships; once you reach the goal you have set ,it surprisingly isn’t as sweet as you imagined it. Find solace and peace with the journey to getting there; this is where the real magic happens. Acknowledge the stage you’re in and be grateful for the experience. The hard times won’t last… Continue Reading → - Just a quick reminderDon’t stay where you are tolerated, go where you are celebrated! Too often, we put ourselves in a position, where we spend time with people who tolerate who we are, and this leads to us having to justify our very essence, which is actually exhausting. I can tell you from personal experience, I have quirky tendencies. I’m wired differently, I think differently, and I definitely act in a way that doesn’t work for everyone. But here’s the thing, I have my own flavour, and I’ve made peace with the fact that it’s not to everyone’s liking. My mentality is that… Continue Reading →
- Keep praying for your “problem child”
“Parents…instruct them about the Lord.” Eph 6:4 CEV When you raise each of your children the same way and yet one of them turns out to be a problem child, what should you do? (1) Pray for wisdom. “Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established” (Pr 24:3 NKJV). Don’t obsess over one child and shortchange the others. Reduce your concentration on your problem child. Instead of continually trying to fix them, enjoy all your children and watch things improve. (2) Give them the time they need. God didn’t make two snowflakes alike, nor two… Continue Reading →
