The enemy did not want you to hear this message. Every time I try to write the message; something urgent comes up. Thank God that today you are reading it. The devil has been defeated. Judges 6:3-5 AMP For whenever Israel had sown their seed, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them. [4] They would encamp against them and destroy the crops as far as Gaza and leave no nourishment for Israel, and no ox or sheep or donkey. [5] For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came like locusts for multitude; both they and their camels could not be counted. So they wasted the land as they entered it. I feel an urge today to declare over your life that 'Not this time' thus says the Spirit  of the Lord. The sower shall enjoy the fruit of his labour. The enemy shall not rejoice over your profits. The Lord rebukes the enemy right now. 'Get away from the work and the harvest of my people' says the Lord. Right now I canc...

As I was praying and asking God what should I write about this Sunday; the Lord put in my heart the word 'hooked'. Think about a fish in the river. The fishermen uses bait in order to entice the fish to come by and have some food. Little does the fish know the fact that in that bait there's a hook hidden in it. Once the fish tries to grab that bait it get hooked up. The moment it's hooked up it no longer has much control in the very environment it use to swim freely; it is now under the control of the enemy. Friend I want you to know that not every opportunity comes from God, the enemy also knows what you need. Many times he will try to bring that thing you need but remember there's a hook hidden in it. All the enemy wants is to control you. That is not the will of God for you. God wants to set you free. God desires to see you flowing in the holy ghost. It could be possible that right now you are hooked on to something, I don't know what that is but I can...

Many times God speaks to us, to warn us or give us direction, which way to take and where to go? Firstly we are able to hear his voice internally.  God will oftentimes warn us, don't go that route, go this way. Since he's a loving God, he makes sure that when we don't listen to his voice he uses other people like pastors or prophets in order to ensure that we get the message. Nevertheless,we just suppress His word and follow our own desires and end up in difficult situations that we could have avoided. So we end up saying,  "Only if I had listened to God I would have been far better than what I am now" Luke 6:47-49 AMP For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words in order to heed their teaching and does them, I will show you what he is like: [48] He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had be...

According to christianity.about.com website, Grace is God's unmerited favor. It is kindness from God we don't deserve. There is nothing we have done, nor can ever do to earn this favor. It is a gift from God. Grace is divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration (rebirth) or sanctification; a virtue coming from God; a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine favor.. God has given us grace and  He expects us to be gracious toward others. When we show favor to someone after doing background check, (what they have done or haven't done) the truth is; we are not being Christlike. But if we bless others irrespective of what they have done or haven't done, then we are the true children of God. Every time you bless that poor man on the street without questioning where they come from or what they have done; you are being Christlike, you are being gracious toward that poor man. The scripture declares in Luke 12:48 AMP".... For everyone to whom much is ...

John 4:33-34 AMP So the disciples said one to another, Has someone brought Him something to eat? [34] Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work. From a very young age we hunger for food. Our bodies demand that we eat everyday. We need food for survival. We need food for strength. Food is the most important need in a human life. Food insufficiency in our bodies results in diseases. If we continue our lives without it we can eventually die and be useless. Jesus mentions something profound in his statement, "my food is to do the will of the one who sent me". Jesus says, "I get nourished when I do the will of my father". This is powerful. Doing God's will empowers us, it strengthens us; it causes us to supernaturaly grow. The will of God is found in the bible( the holy scriptures). Some examples of doing the will of God are; meditating in his word, praying, givin...

John 3:8 AMP The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. Jesus reveals to us one of the characteristics of the people of the spirit, people who are born of the spirit of God. He says they seem to have no direction in life. People cannot tell where the wind is going. So are the people born of the Spirit. One of the question people have about you is, "where are you going?" They want to know about where you going. You see it takes faith to follow someone you don't know where he is going. And many times too often people miss their opportunity because they are so accustomed to rigidity. If you want to marry someone or enter into partnership with someone check if they are rigid people or flexible people; otherwise you are setting yourself up for disaster. You will be saying, let us do something else and he/she would say, no let u...
