TRUE MIRACLE - HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The quest for miracles by present day Christians is the major reason why 90% of Christians are suffering, even when the think they are enjoying. A research I conducted shows that, 95% of people who moved from one church to another did so because of mainly miracle and autonomy; while 5% is because they want to be in charge of others, supremacy, financial autonomy, teach others what they like, and to perform miracle. This as a result is the reason why those who want more miracle become poorer and those who perform more miracle become richer. The reason why people wants miracle is because they don’t read the bible, since they don’t read the bible they don’t know Jesus – the son of the miracle worker, and since they don’t know Jesus they don’t know God – the miracle worker Himself. What is miracle? Miracles are those acts that only God can perform; usually superseding natural laws and above human power; or is an event that cannot be explained according to the laws of nature and is considered to be an act of God, Mathew 12:38 and John 2:18. So you see that you don’t need a miracle to stop suffering, but you need a good economy or a good government to stop suffering. What is the purpose of miracle? Miracles are signs for divine mission, signs that whoever performs it is sent by God, proofs that God exist and that His powers are above human powers, comprehension and intellectual capacity or ability; John 2:18-20 and Mathew 12:38-40. Who performs miracle? People who performs miracles are sent by God and is for those who do not believe in supernatural power of God through a particular servant of His, to believe. Miracles happens to those who have faith, endure challenges, humiliation, mockery, times of tribulation, and their problems has defied all human and natural remedy (powers) and finally for the sake of Gods work. Anybody who receives Gods miracle is redeemed forever and the miracle is immediate and no one knows when it will happen, miracles does not happen to those who are liars, cheaters, adulterous, fornicators, looters, wicked, envious, hypocrite, faithless, and who wants to be prosperous instead of seeking the kingdom of God, Mathew 16:4. How much does the miracle cost? Miracle does not cost a thing and it happen at Gods time and not at the time men chooses. Nigeria is a nation where 90% of the people who are Christians wants miracle instead of truth and salvation, and they are brainwashed into paying for the miracles or blessings and wait for decades for the manifestation. That is why the pastors, priest, men of god, evangelist, and so on, keep getting richer while their followers keep getting poorer. The truth is that Nigerian Christians will continue to be sinful, keep suffering and keep seeking for miracle until the second return of Jesus, because many of us lack the ingredients for the miracle of God to take place in our lives, because we lack the truth, because we are corrupt, because we do not want to fight evil, because we help top government of officials and others to loot the treasurer and suppress our brethren and finally we don’t read the bible and do what God wants. The more you keep going from one church, ministry, fellowship to another, the more your miracle is prolonged; because when it’s time for your miracle then God will do it to the glory of his name and not man. God is not a magician, so He will not fight those who make us suffer as if that is how He created us; but we can fight them with His help and take what belongs to us. Do good, live a straightforward and holy life, God will solve all your problems without you sowing seed, paying tithe, robbing olive oil, drinking holy water, performing ritual, and the likes. Just cry unto your God with a broken heart, the God that see your heart will come to your aid. God bless you.

GOD MADE EVERYTHING, TWO!

All the basic things of this world were made two, God in His infinite wisdom has made it in such a way that one thing must be at a time, period and/or season; thus, we should not be confused in making a choice, at a given time - Ecclesiastes 3:2-8. Let us X-ray the two basic nature of things in this world as nature has made it, in brief, as it will help us to stop deceiving ourselves. We have God and satan, Male and female, day and night, rainy and dry season, on and off, yes and no, truth and lie, up and down, death and life, good and bad, awake and asleep, seeing and blind, master and slave, sun and moon, light and darkness; and so on. If anything on this planet appears to be in any other form, other than the two then its abnormal. You can only belong to one, do one, accept one, embrace one and at a time or season; so it will be ideal if we can examine our conscience right now, and tell ourselves the truth, and we will know where one we belong. Our ability to know that we either belong to God or to satan (which is also a creator of God) and that there is nothing like worshiping God and giving to Caesar ( satan ) what belongs to him, at the same time; will help us to have a paradigm shift in the type of life we are living now. If you are a Christian and, you engage in fornication in the name of boyfriend/girlfriend, dating, courting, and/or wooing, then common-sense of reasoning will tell you where you belong; you engage in telling lies (selling fake product as original, selling expired products, telling those qualified for a job that there is no vacancy while the job is reserved for those who pay you, you are in Aba but tells some of your callers that you are in Enugu, etc) in the name of marketing/biz/office strategies, then your conscience will tell you where you belong; you engage in adultery or fornication because you have money or in position to take undue advantage of those who are confused, hopeless, unfaithful and willing to compromise their faith to get what they want, then your conscience will tell you where you belong; you engage in all sorts of wickedness, revenge, treacherous behaviour, hypocrite, cheating, twofaced, then your conscience will tell you where you belong; you engage in using your profession to defraud others because they run to you for professional assistance, then you will meet your waterloo soon because your conscience will tell you where you belong; you engage in deceiving and defrauding others with Church or in name of man of God, priest, pastor, prophets, evangelist, minister, remember that God cannot be lampooned and that everything done in the dark must be made open because all is vanity upon vanity, then your conscience will tell you where you belong; you engage in robbing and killing people silently, in the name of hard/strong man or politics and on Sundays you pay heavy amount as tithe or sowing seed of prosperity, favour, blessing, job, etc, your conscience will tell you where you belong. All we do in this world is either for God (the least of these ones (poor people)) or for satan (this world). I encourage you to use the opportunity of this period to make the decision of belonging to one and not to either, because on the last day or someday you will call on God and He will tell you go away, I do not know you. Bear in mind that you must suffer before you can enjoy and cannot enjoy without suffering so when suffering comes; anybody telling you otherwise is deceiving you and don’t run to those who will defraud you on the basis that they will break the curse of your suffering. Oh God, our Father, who created all the basic things of this world to be two, help us to realize that the duo nature of things is to help us make a choice and not to be confused, so that our choice will lead us to You (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) after this earthly sojourn, help us to live a diligent life and enjoy the fruit of our labour here on earth; this we ask You through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God ever and ever, Amen.

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING GOD FEARING LIFE PARTNER

Almost everybody wants the best that life offers; almost everybody wants favour, good things, etc, from Almighty God; yet almost everybody will not like to endure and have patient for a while. The society hates poverty, yet the poor in the society are oppressed and made poorer. If we can only seek the kingdom of God with all our heart then all shall be well with us. If truly we are faithful Christians then we must seek the face of God in all we do and want. The issue of choosing life partner led many to their untimely death; while so many are unhappy with their married life, they know no joy and are poor because they went the wrong way when choosing life partner. So many are deceived by their pastors, prophets, seers, and the likes, because they fail to seek the face of God. If a man should marry a woman because: his pastor, prophet, seer, evangelist says so then God could have informed us about it. If a man should marry a woman because of: beauty, acumen, rich, size, connection that is societal status or popularity, complexion, and other things the eyes could see; then God could have informed us. Proverbs 31-10-31 X-rays the qualities we should look out for, when we want a wife-material. On the other hand, a woman who wants a God fearing Man should have these qualities; because you cannot expect to reap where you did not sow or harvest yam when you cultivated cassava. The Scripture made everything crystal clear for us, but our problems are as a result of our inability to do the will of God despite the fact that many of us sleeps in the Church in the name of worshipping God but our hearts are filled with evil and the desire to please the world instead of God. When you marry a woman whom you met in a Hotel, at a night club, a student in a jamboree hall, because she has big heap, big breast, or her stature, her beauty and because she is a leader in the Church, without those attributes in Proverbs 31:10-31; then you got what you wanted and should not blame God for whatever comes out from your choice. A woman who accepted to marry a man because of how fat his bank account is, how famous he is, how expensive he dresses or looks, his position in his working place, and so on. Then don't blame God for whatever comes out of your decision. At the same time, bear in mind that God will not give you what you don't want, so table your matter or probably what you want of your life partner and let God take the final decision. Thanks and God bless you.

WHO IS DECEIVING WHO?

Fake or real Christian, which one are you? There are so many things that make us “Christians”, fake or real in accordance to what the scripture teaches and what we can see. But, I will limit my teaching today to “Our body is the temple of God the Holy Spirit…” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 will tell you how the Spirit God gave you lives in your body and God paid a huge price for our sake. God created us perfectly, beautifully, and holy just like Himself. But sin separated us from Him, until Jesus came to our rescue. So the steps to heaven start this way: You, then your body, then the Holy Spirit, then Jesus Christ and lastly God. On the other hand, the steps to hell start this way: You, then your body, then the Evil Spirit, and lastly Satan. So you either lead your body to accept the Holy Spirit or worldly (evil) Spirit. It’s very sad that about 80% of us “Christians” are “Fake”, I have not judged or condemned anybody. But take a look at the society today, you will see that greater percentage of Christians worship there body instead of God who created them, yet on Sundays they are found at the front seats in the church. They have abandoned the way of God and jettison the teachings of the scripture, and embraced the teachings of mere man which brings about destruction, and kept saying that worshipping God is in the mind, but they forgot that whatever is in the mind is directly proportional to our actions. If you worship God and what is written in Galatians 5: 22-23 is interpreted to suit you, then you are without the Holy Spirit; so you are a Fake Christian and the truth is not in you.

When you undo the body by satisfying it with the desires of the world, the spirit of God will leave you because the desires of your body (World) is not the desire of God the Holy Spirit. Have a look at 1 Corinthians 5:16-25, then you will judge yourself. Though, when evil clog up your mind, you will never accept the teachings of God through Jesus and His true servants; but the manifestation of such minds are deceit in all ramifications and this metamorphoses into much quest for miracles irrespective of where it comes from because the only language that such minds understand is prosperity and salvation. If you are a woman and you wear trousers, wear blouse that exposes your breast, armpit and shows your body, you fornicate in the name of courtship or dating or friendship, dye or decorate your face with different colours to look sharp, sleep with men when your husband is not near, bleach your skin to turn from dark person to yellow or red or mixed complexion, pay greater attention on beautifying your body with different symbols, wear all manner of jewelleries all over your body and can’t do without the latest hairstyle, and so on; then you worship your body (world) because all these are the desires of the world. If as a woman you claim to be a Christian and are found guilty of any of the aforementioned worldly desires, then you are a hypocrite and fake Christian, because the spirit of God is not in you; 1 Corinthians 5:19-21 will tell you more. On the other hand, a man who wears earrings, plates or fries hair, spends money made for the upkeep of His family on other women; bleach his face or the entire body, wear clothes that exposes his body, design his body with symbols, can’t do without all manner of jewelleries, and so on; yet on Sunday he will preach to people or appear before the throne of mercy with such evil mind. He is a hypocrite and fake Christian, the spirit of God is not in him.

Please my brethren this world and what she teaches is evil, don’t rely on your wisdom because you can never make it alone; see 1 Corinthians 3:18-23 and 1 Corinthians 1: 18-31 for more explanation. Finally, prepare your body, make it holy and worthy to be a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit the third person of the Holy Trinity which is they only channel through which you can rich with God. When you do, the Holy Spirit will direct you thus, make you real Christian and lead you to God through Jesus Christ. So don’t depend on your wisdom or the wisdom of this world for it will all fail you; read 1 Corinthians 2:5. Moreover, do not think that your sin is worse than mine were and that God will not forgive you; read Isaiah 1:18-19. Good, or bad, I will try as much as possible to do anything within my reach to give room for the Holy Spirit to continue to live in me and I have chosen to serve the living God. I do not know about you, if you will continue to live a life of deceit, immorality, and the likes and continue to say it does not matter because worshipping God is in mind; watch it because you are deceived and doomed to perish, Joshua 24:14-15. Stay away from all these Churches or people teaching you that worshipping God is in mind therefore you can do anything you like to make money, wear anything or dress anyhow you like and recreate your body the way you like it, because they are only interested in how much money they will get from and not your salvation. May Almighty God (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) bless and save you from evil people of god, through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and forever…

YOUR GRACE PERIOD MAY EXPIRE SOON

A house-help girl, have decided to turn against her mistress who provides all she needs and has been doing everything to make her happy; so that she won’t bring shame to her and her family at the end. The woman who has endured a lot from her house-help (Slave girl) who engaged in all manner of evil as listed below, despite all that she has done for her. Her sins are as follows:

1.       Stealing

2.       Stubbornness

3.       Disobedience

4.       Lying

5.       Hatred

6.       Rebelliousness and Waywardness

7.       Carefree

8.       Negligence to her obligations at home

9.       Cheating

10.   Fraudulent attitude, etc.

The woman, therefore, decided to send her home so that she won’t corrupt, molest and render her children useless. Nevertheless, because of her love for this house-help, she said let me give her the grace of some months to change or repent from her evil ways. Then if she did not turn a new leaf, I will have no other option except to send her back to her parents in the village where she will suffer, Luke 13:6-9.

See this woman to be God, because He created us in His image so we are like Him; and we are seen as the house-help (Slave Girl) because we keep offending God. God is aware of all we have been doing, good or bad. Because He is a merciful Father, He gives a lot of time (grace period) to those doing evil, to enable them turn a new leaf (to repent). My brethren your grace period and mine may elapse very soon or even now. He has given us enough time to come back to Him, what are you still waiting for?

Remember that you cannot mock God; if you are a Christian you will definitely live like one, Mathew 3:8. However, if you claim to be a Christian your character will definitely show it, not your church, your ministry, for Churches don’t answer prayers, and Churches don’t do miracle or solve problems but God does. Your pastors and a lot false prophet that exist go about deceiving people and wooing them to come to their churches and that they will be liberated and their problems will be over, be careful with such people Mathew 7:15-20 and remember that that person has being given the same power anybody who believes in God through Jesus has being given, Luke 10:19, so if you cannot reach God to solve your problems except through your pastors (men of god) then you are not a child of God. Think about it and make a decision to repent now, serve God and not your men of god because your grace period may not be extended irrespective of how much tithe you give, how many Churches you built, how many people you gave arms, so that the blessings God promised His children will not elude you now and forever. May God bless His words in our heart through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever… God bless you.

YOU ALONE CAN SAVE YOURSELF

It should be our principal business to conquer ourselves and from day to day, to go on increasing in strength and perfection. Above all, however, it is necessary for us to strive to conquer our little temptations, such as fits of anger, suspicions, jealousies, envy, deceitfulness, vanity attachments, and evil thoughts. For in this way we shall acquire strength to subdue greater ones. – St. Francis De Sales.

I said last week that 95% of the division among Christians are caused by Churches, while Jesus Christ who is the Church prayed that Christians may be one. Today I want to tell you that you are responsible for whatever happens to you. No one can save you without yourself, church cannot save you, pastors cannot save you, you alone have the power to save yourself; but when you fail to do so then the so called false men of God (antichrist) will lead you astray and make caricature of you because you don’t know the God you worship and don’t have faith because you are desperate to have God blessings without patience. Read 1 John 2:25-29. God is telling you now to retrace your step and harken to what you were thought or what you knew about Him; 1 John 2:18-21, 24, and jettison what you are listening to now because of your condition, circumstances, troubles, challenges, persecution, and your cross. Carrying of Cross, challenges, etc., should not be interpreted as suffering. But focus on God and what He stocked for you, the devil will tempt with what you are desperate to have. Remember without carrying your cross you cannot inherit the kingdom of God because Jesus already warned those who wants to follow Him to carry their cross and follow Him. Gold is tested by fire, and many who are idolatrous can do anything to have it, so anyone who wishes to live a cross-less life is antichrist by default. So makeup your mind now, decide to stop whatever evil you are doing now, repent now, confess and ask God for forgiveness now, then be baptized if you have not, ask Jesus for the gift of Holy Spirit, make your bible your favourite and finally stay away from old ways and try to convert your old friends by telling them the goodness of Christ. Finally, make Jesus your new friend. The choice is yours, take a decision now because your own world may end now. Think about it now, for tomorrow may be too late. Thanks for your time, God bless you.
