FOOD FOR TEENS: SPIRITUAL PROTOCOLS

Image
There are protocols that must be observed when we come before God so that we can fully access His grace, but a lot of us just “barge” into His presence anytime and just make requests without observing Spiritual protocols and expect to get results. For instance if you seek to see the president of Nigeria, at his residence in Aso Rock, there are protocols that must be observed before and after we see him, some of such protocols includes; booking an appointment and eventually when you are invited, there are certain security clearance that you must undergo and several other rigorous procedures before you can have audience with the president before you can present your request or petition. This is a mere president talk less of the creator of everything. The only true God. With God, we do not have to make any appointment, He has given us access through His Son Jesus, as a matter of fact He wants us to come to Him at anytime. Though God’s protocols are not too much and stringent but there a...

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD

Image
Conforming with the world brought about the downfall of lot’s family. Lot was the nephew of Abraham, when he left Abraham with his family and flocks, he pitched his tent towards sodom (Genesis 13:12). This paints a picture of a compromising Christian who because of a situation with a brother or sister or even his local assembly decided to leave and pitch his tent in the world. He eventually became a prisoner of the devil just like lot ended up being taken prisoner in the battles that were fought by the kings of the east against Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 14:12). Instead of learning his lesson, lot became even more conformed to Sodom. By Genesis 19:1, he is sitting in the gate of Sodom i.e. he has become a recognized member of the community. The story of lot ends tragically with the loss that he suffered when God destroyed the two cities because of their sinfulness. Although he survived, his wife turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back longing at Sodom, and his two daughters...

POWER IN YOUR WORDS part one

Image
     Do you know that you can become a Christian and still be ungodly? When you say you are a Christian, it means that you are on your way to acting and looking like God in all that you do. 1st Timothy 4:7 says, “But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.” To be Godly means to act and look like God in all that you do. It is bad for somebody to become a Christian and doesn’t look like, think, talk and act like God. One of the things God wants us to do immediately after receiving Christ is, learning how to be like Him. That is what is called spiritual maturity which means that you have started growing.      One of the attributes of God is that He doesn’t fail. If God doesn’t fail, and we are His Children, born by Him with His Spiritual DNA on the inside of us, then we are not supposed to fail in anything. If God succeeds in all He does, then you are supposed to succeed also. It is a mis-normal for a person who profe...

CHRISTAIN RESPONSIBILITY

Image
  Hello my beloved saints, welcome to the month of August. I know you are waxing stronger in the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In this edition of the Divine Truth, I will like to enlighten you on “Christian Responsibility.” Soulwinning is one of the most important responsibilities bestowed upon us as Christians. It is something we have to take seriously, just as it is taken seriously by God. Do you know that it is because of lost souls that Jesus Christ came? To ensure that people come to the light and know the truth. There is no one who is going to tell the unsaved about Jesus except you and I; and if we fail in that responsibility, they will go to hell. The Bible says in the book of John 3:17-18 thus, “For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son o...

FOOD FOR TEENS: THE HOUR OF PRAYER

Image
The Bible says in the book of Acts 3:1 thus,  “Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.”  From the above scripture we can see clearly that the apostles had a time of prayer, they were so disciplined in this regard that they called that time of the day “the hour of prayer” , no wonder they had tremendous results in their ministry, they understood the place of prayer in their lives and they knew they could not afford to compromise on prayers hence they had different hours of prayers. These men exercised themselves unto godliness until it became a vital part of their lives, the 9th hour according to the above scripture was 3 pm of the day, this is usually the high point of each day, while others were running around looking for money these men knew something that a lot of us still hasn’t gotten and that is the fact that prayer is the way we keep the oil of God fresh upon our lives, in the place of prayers that’s where the nat...

A PIECE OF ADVICE part two

Image
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 ...

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: MIND YOUR WORDS

Image
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...
