When Jane, a twelve year old girl would cry in order for her mother to pay close  attention to her; Joane (Jane's mother) would quickly attend to her, pampering and  tapping lightly on her back with massaging strokes of her hand. At that young age, Jane enjoyed this experience so much such that it became her normal. However, as she grew older, she noticed that her mother had changed  her response towards her. She then realized that she had to do something different in order to regain her mother's attention... One of the obstacle that stands on our way or delays us from getting to another level of life is to try and solve today's problem with yesterday's formula. Just because a certain method worked wonders on yesterday's problem, does not necessarily mean that it can work on today's problem. Joshua understood this very clearly at the face of the raging river Jordan that was at a flooding stage. Instead of using the staff of Moses that parted the red see; Jo...

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...
