It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

-
  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively, fascinated, filled with hope and at the same

A Tale of Simon The Sorcerer

-
       The desire of God for us is to go into every nook and cranny of the world with the Good News, calling people to repentance and making disciples of all men! Every tool we need to do this successfully has been given to us. As we see the imminent return of our LORD Jesus Christ, it is sad to note that there are many who have crept into the fold, claiming to be disciples but are not: "I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvellous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ" (Jude 1:4, NLT).      These have come with cleverly crafted messages, using God's Word as a premise and sprinkling the salt of demonic messages on top, such that the congregations cannot see the error, save for a few. Many of such men have become leaders, ministers and preachers of thriving ministries. These are the ones that b

Are You A True Disciple? Part 2

-
       To be a true Disciple is not about being in a particular Church, under a particular head or serving in a particular position or section of the Church. To be true is borne out of your heart, not a programme, a fashion, or the like. "And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]" (Luke 9:23, AMP).         Jesus made the foregoing statement to His disciples. Apart from the 12 He originally chose, many others came to follow Him and to go out to preach the gospel with accompanying signs and wonders. This call to the disciples was to make them decide for themselves: to want to, wish to, desire to, and will to! Despite one's position in society, one must wish or desire to

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

-
       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         How the devil achieves this, is to pr

Generation...Whose Generation?

-
       I listened to a brother the other day teach the congregation they are the Samuel Generation. I have seen bumper stickers of Churches and Ministries declare they are one generation or the other. I am sure these 'revelations' came as a result of the exploits of the individuals or tribes they are choosing to identify with. Each of these generations represents a message the proponents desire to pass on. As great as these ideas or 'revelations' sound, is that what the LORD is speaking to His Church at this time of great darkness and distress?         One may argue that it is for the reason of the stressful state of the earth that we need to raise a generation of believers modelled after a character in the Bible that faced such situations and prevailed. As great as this is, however, the desire of God is: " For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, And a pur

Beware, Distractions Dressed As Legitimate

-
       The upheavals happening around the world, especially in our communities and societies, have gotten many distracted and even blinded many to the real issues plaguing these communities and societies. The governments of the day are bedevilled with corruption, such that the corruption happening in many societies is unbelievably unreal as it defies explanations. Policies and laws are churned out that defy logic, common sense or empathy for the downtrodden or foster growth. The essence of these upheavals at this time is to distract as many as the enemy can from the truth of God's Word. The ancient wicked dragon, the enemy of humanity's soul knows that his time is short, hence an uptick in evil and wickedness around the globe.           As sons of God, we are warned not to get distracted but to focus on the LORD Jesus Christ so as not to be deceived and swept away by the winds of false doctrines. As a foreshadowing of these times, the Bible tells us: "On the last day, that

Questions To Ponder

-
      "‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God'" (Matthew 15:8-9, NLT). What type of Believer are you: a mindful Believer who is a Disciple of Christ or a mindless one who thinks he/she is a Disciple? One of the ways of man is to get so used to something, to begin to take the thing for granted. This happens when one does not deal with the issues (ambitions) of the heart.         What manner of conversations was Adam having with the Woman that brought on the idea of wanting to cast away the command of God to them? What possessed King Saul to think it was the people who would keep him as king when it wasn't them who brought him to that position in the first place? Are you a believing Disciple or an unbelieving Disciple? You claim to be a believing Disciple yet you have chosen to live some of the life of Christ and not all! The life of Christ for you has become
