Continue from last edition..... Why is the devil after your separation? Genesis 1:27-28 says, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 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.” The fist reasons why the devil hates man is that God created man in His own image, no angel looks like God, no animal looks like God, no creation looks like God; the only person that can do what God does and function like God is you and I. For that the devil is mad, because that is the limitation that the devil has. Whenever he sees man, he is angry because he is looking at God and he hates God, for that reason, he wants to ensure that he cripples man. The second reason he wants your separation is that there is a purpose for your unity, together ...

Dearly beloved, you are welcome to the glorious month of June. May this month be an all-round blessing for you in Jesus name. This month I will be sharing on what I titled "mind your words." In proverbs 18:21 the Bible says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Everything God gave us is activated through speech-words. Many, however don't understand the power of words. The primary function of your mouth and your tongue is to steer your life in God's direction for you. But so many have used it otherwise, for pain, for sorrow, they have used what has been put in them to harm their lives, as a weapon against themselves. This ought not to be so. Remember what the Bible tells us about God in the book of Genesis, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of th...

Dear teens, Let’s take a look at hope, I believe the topic of hope is not being addressed enough in the body of Christ today and as a result we are missing out on a lot because of this. According to Hebrew 11:1 the Bible says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” From this scripture, it is obvious to see that without hope there is no faith. Faith was defined twice and in both definitions, there was hope, in the second definition, it says the “evidence of things not seen” things not seen there was referring to hope, because Romans 8:24 tells us that “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”  So you can agree with me that an integral part of faith is hope. No wonder that same Romans 8:24a tells us that we are saved by hope.  What then is hope? A lot of us think that hope is our desire, no. Hope is more than that, hope is God’s promise in His Word as a direct answ...

Hello Beloved, I welcome you to this wonderful month of June. I know you are increasing in the knowledge of God and our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. I will like to reflect on the incident of one of our sisters, one of the gospel music icon that died allegedly as a result of domestic abuse. There were several persons who came out to criticize their pastor, asking what he did about it; that the pastor having known such a thing was suppose to do something about the marriage. I want to reflect on it, so that those that are married will be wise. The minister of God who happens to be their pastor, came out on air and made know the extent to which he knew about the issue and how he wasn’t aware of the domestic abuse going on between the man and the wife. That not withstanding, even though the pastor is aware, he certainly will not be able to do anything about it, other than to try to make things work between them, not to separate them. As ministers of God, we stand for peace and unity in...

One day Jesus went to the sea side and He saw certain fishermen, men that were not qualified, common men trying to look for a means of sustenance but He said unto them in the book of Matthew 4:19 thus, “... Follow me, and I wll make you fishers of men. ” There may be things that you are involved in but when you become a repairer of the bridge and start repairing the lives of people, your life becomes mighty and great because Jesus has come into your life. One of such men is Peter, he was uneducated. A man of anger who can’t keep his mouth shut but when Jesus Christ got a hold of him, his life changed. He preached the gospel and in one day three thousand people received Jesus Christ. This was a man who was afraid when Jesus mounted him and he became a great man. The Bible says in the book of Acts 10:25 that Cornelius a centurion, a very high ranking man in the Roman army saw Peter; (a man who was uneducated, a man without any influence) and bowed down and worshipped him, why? Because Je...

Dearly beloved, May this month be an all-round blessing for you in Jesus name. This month I will be sharing with you on what I titled “which road are you?” Jesus seemed always to classify people in two categories. He taught that there are two roads of life, the broad road and the narrow road. He said there are two destinies in life. He did not give a third alternative. He did not give ant middle road. He said it’s either one or the other. He said in Matthew 7:13-14; “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” You cannot be neutral about eternal life, but a lot of people try to be. They try to ride the middle road but there is no middle road. Jesus said it’s one or the other. He said if you’re not on the narrow road that leads to eternal life, then you must be on the broad road t...

  Dear Teens, I would like to show you something you may have never really taken time to observe, yet it's the bedrock of prosperity. In the olden days, before the era of money, a person would go to his farm to harvest their produce then use it as a means of exchange for other food or services, which is usually referred to as the barter system. What they were doing in essence, was exchange of value, in exchange for the value of two tubers of yam, you might receive a bunch of plantain or cassava as the case maybe. The values of these produce were determined by the individuals involved. Whatsoever you exchange a product or service with became the value of that thing.  So, a carpenter could agree to receive a bag of rice in exchange for a furniture, it is the value he places on that furniture. When money was introduced, people began to forget that money was just the clothes value had to put on so that it could be traded globally. Money was never and would never be the main ai...
