You have prayed many prayers and you want your enemies to die. Acoording to your testimony some have died but for some, none have died. The good news is that they are not dying yet. I. Some are meant to back off when you call on God (1). However, the great news is that some will not back off when you call on God. They will just become defiant, that they will keep waylaying you. II. This is because some of them are meant to set up your greatness. When they are doing it they won't know they are doing you a favour. Mind you it won't be a bed of roses when they are doing it, you just need to ask Joseph how it felt like to be sold to slavery by his siblings or ask Mordecia how it felt to have an adversary like Haman. III. Some of them won't even back off at that point because some of them need to make peace with you. Because if the ways of a man pleases God, even his enemies will be at peace with him (2). They will drive you so hard and mad until you start pleasing God. IV....

For God so love the world; all manner of persons and sinners in it (gay, lesbians, sodomite, adulterers, fornicators, armed robbers, transgender, abortionist, and all manners of perverts) that He gave His most precious asset- His son Jesus Christ that whosoever believe in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 paraphrase added). Those with pre-Christ righteousness or pocket sized holiness often stand in the way of those who made it worth Jesus dying and suffering on the cross. That was what the Pharisees,  the Saducces and the Scribes did: trying to prevent those who really needed Jesus from the saviour but Jesus was always in the company of those vilest sinners; Martha the woman with seven demons, the woman caught in adultery, the woman whose life has been messed up by six men and none was offering her security or hope, the corrupt tax collectors, the smelling and ailing beggers, the really hopeless and helpless.  Your pocket sized sin was worth His d...

In Christ Jesus no race is superior to the other, because there is no difference between the Jews and gentiles (other races). In Christ Jesus no gender is superior to the other,  there is no difference between male and female (Galatians 3:28). That is the old time gospel of Jesus Christ before many civilisation, before many equality movement, long before many freedom fighters and movements. Man was never created to over dominion over one another, man was created to have dominion.  It was man's regime and system that created a system of men ruling over men. Even the seemingly gender inequality incurred at fall was abolished by Christ.

Your case is not hopeless even if it seem so. Your case is not hopeless even if people and specialist have confirmed it to be so. Your case is not hopeless even if you have resigned to fate and you have accepted to die in that situation.  Your case is not hopeless because I bring the power of the resurrection of Christ Jesus that knows no limitations and that is not ruled by the testimonies of men into your situation. I have a witness and it is the man who was bedridden by sickness for thirty-eight years in John chapter five. At that point in time he had been left to die. Families, friends and specialists have classified him hopeless and after so long a time he was really hopeless as no one was available to help him get his healing through the occasional stirring of water. That miracle was for the survival of the fittest but Jesus attends to the weakest and hopeless. And this morning by the power of God and that of the risen Christ Jesus your hopeless situations (barrenness, ...

Relationship is the currency of God we spend on earth and that is what God want us to spend on Him. Our relationship with God affect our relationship with people.  If all we do with God is use Him and dump Him, then that is the relationship we would have with people.  The quality of our relationship with God will determine our relationships with people. You can't claim to love God when you have no pity on people or build relationships to help people. The biblical term is prayer but the common language is relationship. How can you build faith without relationship?  Or how can you build business without relationships? Or how can you get your dream job without a relationship? How can you build an empire or a life after active service without relationship?  You build relationship by attending to people and their needs. You are sitting on someone's miracle and yet you go on mountain to get yours. You solve other people's problem through relationship and yours also get so...

The best hospitals house the most chronic clinical cases. The better the specialist the more chronic cases and number of referrals.  You stopped going to church when you met critically sick people there; you just went back  home with your sickness. When it becomes chronic you will need a specialist,  the very best at that. It might be too late then. You need Jesus the specialist so don't get deterred by the sick people you met in church only focus on the healer. Let Christ help you and He might use you to help them.

You have no problem when people discriminate you, the problem is when you discriminate yourself. You have no problem when people see you as inferior,  the problem is if you feel inferior. The weapons of discrimination include religion,  sect, gender, money, position etc. Which have you fallen victim of? Get out of it and recovery yourself.  Full recovery is only possible in Christ Jesus because He doesn't make inferior people: he makes kings and priests

Your capacity to properly handle the last project gives you the opportunity for the next stage of life. If you failed in the last project or you are failing in the present one make it a point of duty to reflect on your failures.  Blame no one, take responsibility.  Ask God to guide you and look for those things that made you fail. List them and start working on them. Then you are on your way to your next opportunity

No one hate gold because there are fake gold, so don't hate God because there are smaller disappointing gods or because the people who brought God to your doorstep are fakes. You can't afford to hate the body of Christ because there are many fakes and divided doctrines. Christ is Christ and He is original and you can be the original the world is missing and expecting. The world is lost because of the many fakes and the world is expecting the manifestations of the real sons of God. It can be you

The goal is the main focus the extras are just the icing on the cake or the people pleasing initiatives

A typical Nigerian is a prayer warrior irrespective of religion. Why do we need to pray so hard. Is God deaf or what really is the problem? I am giving this illustration about my friend. He went to register his renewable energy firm. He was given a lot of problems and hassles because he had no money for tips. Now supposing he could come up with a solution for our power problem and yet was hindered because of the extra money for tip. Then it so happened that the spouse or child or a family member of the person that gave him hassles died while being operated. The person died after power failure during operation.  This operation was backed by a lot of prayers and fasting. So was God the problem or our attitude. What if he is capable of providing a lot of jobs through his project and yet the same person has jobless graduate children at home.  He or she has been to mountains, rivers and valleys to get deliverance and job for them. The immediate desire for material gain and gratif...

Words are not permanently constructive or destructive. At every level of knowledge you can reconstruct what you said yesterday or destroy it. You can reconstruct your tomorrow or destroy yesterday to remake tomorrow.  However when eternity dwells in your heart, you shoot what you want to achieve into your future even when you think you can't achieve them.  You say it no matter your present circumstances or situations. No matter your weaknesses and threats. No matter your limitations or how little you can see of the future. Our words are so powerful that when we utter them they become the driving force on which our future rides or the driving force behind our destiny. It does not just rest until those words are fulfilled. To my amazement all the things I have said about myself at some point came to past. Even when I never intentionally worked towards those goals. Even when I had no means or resources to achieve the goals.  Our words are so powerful that our destiny answer...

To many God is an autocratic ruler. Yes He is. However to those that understand the message of grace; the balance of His mercy and judgement,  God grants democratic freedom according to our level of knowledge of freedom and the level of knowledge of working and abiding by the principles of the democracy-freedom He has granted us. For those who see grace as a means to do what they like, they are children who cannot handle freedom and liberty, the democratic right and knowledge are withdrawn. It is just the same way freedom of speech does not grant one the right to say just anything.  The freedom in Christ Jesus empowers us to know that such freedom was bought with a very heavy price. Nothing is totally free, It was just bought by someone to be used freely by someone. Jesus paid the price for your freedom but don't take the freedom as a license to do whatever you like.

If your are heartbroken let Jesus take hold of your life. If your are heavily burdened,  taken advantage of, down trodden,  maligned, cheated on, unrecognised, despised,  humiliated, rejected,  please don't carry the burden all alone. These all carry spirits that kill the spirit of God in you.  That same spirit of God is love. And when love and the spirit of love is killed, you feel useless, worthless, abandoned, rejected, used and dumped and sucidal tendecies set in. You feel you are losing your mind. Wait, you are not meant to carry that burden alone. Those burdens are supposed to be dropped at the foot of Jesus. If you need a shoulder to cry on please reach out to people you can trust to be of help to you. Cast you cares on him for He cares

The empires that we see today are not churches because they will all disappear and this is just a matter of time. Where is the Corinthian church that was divided into Paul, Peter, Apollo and Jesus faction? (1 Corinthians 1: 11-13). Christianity no longer exists in the region. I am a catholic, I am an orthodox, I am a Pentecostal, I am a member of Redeemed Christian church, I am Charismatic Renewal, I am a Winner etc. these are empires built to acquire earthy members. Each holding to a strand of God and the gospel it understands. The church is anybody that upholds the word of God in speech and character and a community of people that do the same, irrespective of religious leaning and practice. Remember the woman by the well who was confused by where the true place of worship was (John 4:20), so do we confuse the world with walls and borders of the church. Are you in such confused state and these denominations just make the gospel confusing, come to Jesus the head of the border-less...

Truth hit me on the inside and I said to myself, how come I accepted the verdict of people on my life. Why did I accept that I can't dance? I ask you the same question. Why did you allow people tell you that you can't dance? Is it because you don't dance according to expected or normal dance convention? David never danced according to the dance convention of his time, because, if he did, his wife would not have mocked Him (2 Sam 6:16, 20). How we make people dictate how we dance because there is normal convention of dancing in town. Many have to spend time learning how to dance the new steps while God gave you a new step to dance. All the dance steps that become trendy were once seen as unconventional but somebody bold enough promoted them. A typical example was 'Kukere', a local Cross Rivers dance, which was taken to global stage and then people started learning how to dance ‘Kukere’. One thing I have learnt about dancers is that they never remain in obscurity...
