"Slothfulness casteth into deep sleeps and an idle soul shall suffer hunger” (Proverbs 19:15). 90% of the problems believers are facing is as a result of laziness (slothfulness). Slothfulness according to the above scripture and according to English dictionary is a state of been idle or inactive, or unwillingness to work or carry out an action As Christians, sometimes we find ourselves giving into slothfulness especially when it comes to spiritual things, you hear believers saying that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. This is absolutely true because one of the devil’s most effective tools in his fight against Christians is laziness. He even tried it against Jesus just to stop Him from fulfilling God’s purpose for man, this gave birth to that statement by Jesus “The Spirit truly is ready but the flesh is weak.” – Mark 14:38.  For us to be able to fully understand how to overcome laziness (slothfulness), let us first observe the major cause of lazin

Hello dearly beloved. I welcome you to the December edition of Divine Truth. I know you have been walking in the victory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I will like to share with you some salient truth in the word of God. Scripture says in Mathew 4:4, “But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Jesus said that man shall live by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth. Not some words but every word. Many believers are living by some words of God instead of every word of God. The Bible has clearly revealed to us that God’s word is dividable as revealed in 2nd Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth.” It is possible for us to rightly or wrongly divide God’s word. We can either rightly separate the Word of God and be blessed or annex them together and be destroyed. God’s word must be rig

 Greetings beloved, I welcome you to the month of November. I hope you are increasing in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? I will like to admonish you on what I titled ‘The Wrong Race.’     Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” The race of faith we are supposed to run is a race that we run with patience, looking unto Jesus. It is a race whose focus and end is the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the Christian race. Something else that we can extract from what Paul says is that not all that call themselves Christians are running the race, otherwise why the exhortation “LET US RUN… the Ra

Hello Hello my beloved saints, I wish you a great and prosperous month of November. I believe the Word of God is producing fruits in you as it does in the life of all who put their focus on it. One of the things that God dislikes is insubordination. He hates rebellion to authority because it destroys the work of God and creates an open door for Satan to reveal his own vision. Insubordination creates division and a split in the body of Christ. (Good) Leadership creates followership and followership creates open door of God’s blessing upon the followers. This is made possible as revealed in Psalm 133:1-3. But God has never called or used a perfect person. Everyone God has used in history has his or her own limitations. But as followers we are not to focus or dwell on the weakness of our leaders but rather on the grace of God upon their lives. Hence, Paul said in Romans 14:4, “Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his master he standeth or fallen. Yea he shall be holden

Dearly beloved, I welcome you to this month of October, our month of favour. May the favour of God encompass you like a shield in every aspect of your life in the name of Jesus.  I will like to share with you on what I titled, the love of money – the root of all evil. 1st Timothy 6:9-11, “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with man sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” I will like to bring to your notice that this letter by Apostle Paul was written to Timothy, his son in the faith. Automatically, he was writing to the church, to believers. If he was writing to believers then, he is still writing to us now. A lot of people have often misqu

Welcome to the month of October, may the grace of God continue to abound in you in Jesus name. A lot of people are of the opinion that what will be will be. A lot of people say, if God is the beginning and the end and has already seen the end from the beginning, why then do we have to even put in effort to succeed since God already knows what or how we would end. Some also go to fortune tellers to know what will happen in the future. Others even say why did God even bother to create man, when He already knew that Adam would fall and the earth will be in chaos? All these questions are answered in one popular verse of the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I have towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” In the above scripture God said, He thinks about everything and everyone that comes into this world, whether Christians or unbelievers and He said, the thoughts that He has towards everyone are thoughts of go

  Dearly beloved, welcome to the month of October, our month of favour. The month of October is tagged by the Spirit of God as our month of favour. It is the month that God’s grace will be expressed in us through the supernatural working of the power of God. The Bible told us in Genesis 25:21-23, that Rebekah, Isaac’s wife was barren but the husband entreated the Lord for her and she conceived. But she discovered that there was a great tussle for dominance in her womb. She inquired of the Lord and discovered that she had twins in her. Genesis 25:23, “And the LORD said unto her, two nations are in the womb and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels and the one people shall be stronger than the other people and the elder shall serve the younger.”  But these two nations in Rebekah’s womb are allegory of the two testaments expressed by the Spirit of God through Paul in Romans 9;10-13, “And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our fat

    Beloved, I welcome you to the beginning of the last quarter of the year. May you increase in the grace and wisdom of God.      I will be sharing with you on what I titled Let Go Of Worry. But first, we have to know what worry is. Worry can be defined as a state of mental and emotional agitation and distress resulting from undue concern over something impending or anticipated. Worry involves and uneasiness of mind or a brooding anxiety about a real or imagined situation or possibility. It is an unresolved feeling of fretful apprehension and mental unrest which is a close companion of fear, anxiety, insecurity and tension. Worry is not physical, although its effects can be felt in the physical body. In many cases, worry comes from evil spirits in the spirit realm in the form of thoughts against the mind. The goal of the evil spirit is to get one to allow the cares that they propagate to enter into the spirit man. This happens by entertaining their thoughts of cares in the mind

Dearly beloved teens, I bring you greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope you have been living the victorious life in Christ Jesus.  Do you know that nature speaks? but before we delve into it let us first understand the word "nature." In layman's term, nature is everything we can see that man didn't create but has existed independent of man and Its unique characteristics. Some of the elements of nature includes; trees, animals, mountains, seas and oceans and even man himself etc.  Everyman in the world is look for the creator of the universe, the mighty and invisible hands behind nature, who we all refer to as the almighty God. Some few school of thoughts believe that there is nobody responsible for the creation of the universe (the Bible refers to them as fools in Psalm 14:1).  We have established that almost every man is seeking for relationship with the creator of the universe, which is the whole essence of religion. My question now

Hello dearly beloved, I bring you greeting in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I want to admonish you on what I titled "THE LORD WILL RESTORE YOUR WASTED YEARS."  If you ever picked up this article to read it, then it is you God is talking to. This is not just a regular sermon but a message from God to you. The Lord will have me tell you this, "I will restore all your wasted years. I will bring back to you all that the enemy stole from you." Sometimes we find ourselves in trials and tribulations that seem to waste and eat up most part of our time and energy. We put in time and energy to have things work for our good yet it goes the other way. It just looks like things aren't happening the way we desire them to, yet we are not getting any younger. Time seems not to be on our side if you are not careful you want to compromise, you want to make things happen for you by your own strength and wisdom. The question you should

Hello my dearly beloved saints, I bring you greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I thank God that you are living in grace and victory of our Lord. I went to church this morning (2nd July, 2017) with a message I believe God gave me for His people, but at the nick of time when I was about to go out to the podium and minister. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “I want you to teach my people the secret to prosperity in God’s kingdom. I want you to teach them how to prosper in the kingdom of God.” And I said unto Him, how Lord? Then He said, you remember the lady that came to you some time ago whose child had crossed eyes (popularly called half past one), I said yes.  I remembered her vividly because she is my very close relative. Her daughter had crossed eye and she prayed and rebuked it. She began to give thanks for the healing of her child over a long period of time but nothing happened. She became frustrated. One day after church service, she decid

    Hello beloved, I welcome you to a great month of July in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In revelation 22:2, the Bible talks about the tree of life that bears twelve manners of fruit and yielded her fruit every month. May the fruit ascribed to this month of July be made manifest in your life in the name of Jesus.      If a man should gain the whole world and lose his soul, what would it profit him? (Mark 8:36). This is the question that every man, woman, boy and girl should ask themselves. When we consider and understand that our life here is only a short span of years at the most, we should make preparations to live on with God after this earthly life is over.       The worth of your soul can be estimated only by the light reflected from the cross of Calvary. It was the joy set before Christ in accomplishing so great Salvation that led Him to submit to shame, agony and death. How do all the treasures and the glories of earth sink into insignifican

     Welcome to the glorious month of July, may the Lord cause His face to shine on you this month like never before in Jesus name. One evening my wife begged me to help her close the backdoor to our apartment as I walked towards the back door, the Holy Spirit started ministering some deep truth to me that I never knew before.       We all know that the door is an opening in the wall of a building or house by which to go in or out. Every house has a door without which nothing/no one can go in or out of a house. In like manner every heart has a door without which nothing/no one can get into the heart. Jesus said in Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with me.” If you observe something in the above scripture, you will see that; who we admit into our heart is absolutely our choice and no other. Jesus Christ being the epitome of true gentleness said He won’t

     Hello beloved saints, I welcome you to this wonderful month of July. May the wisdom of God continue to increase in your life, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.     God's will and purpose for you as a child of God is that you multiply and replenish the earth. You are not created by God to inhabit a little plot of land but to take over the earth. God's blessing for you in Genesis 1:28 is that you, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." Many Christians do not know this, and those who know it do not seem to have enough courage to agree with God. They think it's humility to ask and believe God for little things. They call themselves children of Abraham and sing that his blessing is theirs, yet they cannot believe for great things like their father Abraham did. They've forgotten that they are only called the children of Abraham becaus

Hello beloved saints, I heartily welcome you to a glorious month of June. I believe you are growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ? I will like to share with you on something so profound and I pray God comes alive in your heart in the name of Jesus. When we say it’s not worth it. What exactly do we mean? It means the value of what you are buying is not commensurate with the cost. Mark 8:36 says, “For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Jesus said that your soul is worth more than the rest of the world put together. We need to grasp what is meant by “the whole world”. For this is not only the physical or geographical world. It includes the business world, the scientific world, and the intellectual world. Jesus said that your soul is worth more than the entire world. Jesus’s question in Mark 8:36 is a very important one. In context, Jesus was speaking of dying to self and selfishness in order to find your
