FOOD FOR TEEN: WITNESSES (PROOF PRODUCERS)

Image
The last words of Jesus before He ascended unto heaven can be found in Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." He asked us to be witnesses of Him, and the early church ran with this mandate and they did exploits even to the ends of the earth, as few as they were, yet their message was heard all over the world, and thousands of years later even without modern technology even with serious persecution they succeeded in spreading the gospel to the four corners of the earth. What was their secret? How did this happen? If you look at our opening text, you will discover that Jesus told them what to do to be witnesses of Him, before we find out what He asked them to do, let's understand who a witness is. One which furnishes evidence or proof. There are two major ways proofs are provided in the court of law; (...

FOOD FOR TEENS: PEER PRESSURE

Image
Let's talk peer pressure, have you observed that at this current stage of your life, the most influential people in your life are your friends. You might not readily agree to this but when you do a deep search into your heart you will discover that this is true. As peers the main tools of influence is ridicule, they would make fun of you for not making foolish decisions with them. The problem with peer pressure at this stage of your life is that your peers are probably dumber and more ignorant than you think. They create an impression of one of deep experience and knowledge about life but as time goes on you will discover the level of their foolishness. Don't get me wrong, not all peer pressure are bad, some are actually good, pushing you to demand more of yourself than you would normally do, but the truth is, this kinds of peers are rare at this stage, there are more foolish ones. So the secret to moving with the right kind of peer influence is to select your friends carefull...

KEEP THE SWITCH OF FAITH ON part two

Image
Continue from last edition... There are times you don’t do much in the kingdom and you begin to experience or receive miracles. That is God working in your life, that is not your faith yet. That is God doing special miracles by the gift of the Holy Ghost, that is God having mercy upon you. But if you sit down and think that will continue, you are deceiving yourself. That era will cease “After these things were ended..” Acts 19:21. You have to open a new chapter, and that chapter is the era where you have to make things consistently happen in your life. That era is the era of faith. This is where people fail, they think that the miracles will continue. God started it and He will end it because that is not His mode of operation. His mode of operation is faith. Jesus Christ used the gift of the Spirit and healed one out of the multitude, what about the others? They must believe and receive by their faith. In 2nd Kings 4:1-6, the Bibles tells us about a certain woman whose sons where ab...

KEEP THE SWITCH OF FAITH ON PART ONE

Image
Hello beloved, you are welcome to the month of September. I thank the Lord for you, for the manifestation of His word and power in your life. It is God’s utmost desire that you prosper and live in sound health, that is why He said In the book of 3rd John 1:2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Prosperity and sound health are the two most sort after things on earth and God is saying that is His utmost wish for you above all things. Until you put it above all things, it will not happen to you. You must put it above all things, you must desire prosperity and sound health for it to happen in you life. How is this going to happen? God has extended His headquarters to the earth. His headquarters is no longer only in Heaven, His headquarters has come to the earth also. That is why Jesus Christ went ahead preaching in Matthew 4:17 saying, “...Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The kingdom of Heaven is here, t...

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: DON'T COMPROMISE YOUR COMPANY

Image
Hello dearly beloved,  May all that the Lord have in store for you this month be made manifest in Jesus name. I am sharing with you on what I titled, “Don’t compromise your company.” The Bible says in the book of Philippians 3:1, “Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grevious, but for you it is safe.” It is of utmost importance as a believer to mind your company. They can either make you or break you, hence these words. So many Christians have turned the other way because they compromised their company. They have left the light and blindly wallowing in darkness. The Bible says in 2nd Corinthians 11:14, “And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” Know this, so many things that you think are nice and good in your own sight might not be for you but against you. Anyone who does not point you to Jesus and all that has to do with you is not a good company. Proverbs 13:20 says, “He that walketh wit...

FOOD FOR TEENS: THE CONVERSION THEORY

Image
Jesus Christ said in Luke 11:9, "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." James tells us in James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." Jesus said again in John 16:23, "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." Several times, we are told in Scriptures that if ask anything of the Father, it shall be given us. The question is why are Christians not taking advantage of this blank cheque? Why do we have Christians jumping from place to place looking for solution when scripture tell us so plainly to ask it shall be given us? The reason is quite simple, lack of understanding. James boldly declared in James 4:2 that, “ye have not, because ye ask not.” But someone is going to say I've a...

HEAR AND BE HEALED

Image
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 want to admonish you on what I titled ‘Hear and be healed.” I will like you to know and have this consciousness that there is nothing impossible with God. Can God do everything? The answer is yes, but He will not do everything because God will only do what you believe. God will not do everything because He works by rules and laws, He works based on your believing; which means He can only do those things which you believe. So in the book of Ephesians 3:20 He says, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” God doesn’t act or do things based on the power that works in Him. He does things in your life based on the power that works in you. If there is no power in you, you’ll get nothing from God. What power is He talking about? It is ...
