Get Ready!


The days of carelessness and unconcerned attitudes to the happenings around us has passed; so many have grown hard and callous hearts towards these happenings. Unbeknownst to them, these very things are beginning to affect them one way or another. We are warned to “Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk – not as unwise people but as wise – making the most of the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:15-16. Friend, except we want to deceive ourselves the days are indeed evil and we know time is running out to the Coming of the Lord to rapture the saints. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no good news and the consciences of even the children of God are beginning to get use to this evil. There is a need to be cautious and come to the side of the Lord against this evil trend. Yes, the fact that you are heaven bound is not in dispute, but what about your colleagues, neighbors, friends, family, where are they heading? Maybe you are afraid to speak what you could hear God say; it might be what He is saying sounds so frightening and shocking and you are not set to lose friends, reputation and respect. As a result, you have kept your mouth shut and turned a blind eye to the happenings. Friend, the days for the trumpets of the Most High God to make a resounding sound concerning the happenings and to alert the world has come. Will you be one of the trumpets of this end time or you would rather remain silent? What differentiates a wise person from a foolish one in this times is how they respond to the word of God. There is so much distortion in the messages from the pulpits, if we as sons of the Most High God refuse to oppose this onslaught of distortions the consequences will be dire indeed. We do not need to look any further for the consequences all we have to do is look around us. Sin and iniquity has taken centre stage and has become a norm in our congregations and things that are clearly not sanctioned by the Lord are explained away with Scriptures! Ministers are afraid of losing their congregations and so sugar coat the word and make it unproductive in the lives of the people. Some of us may reason that we need to make the word simple so everyone can come in and be ‘comfortable’. Jesus Christ did not come with a word of comfort for men to feel secure in lives that are a reproach to His Father. If it were our time, we would have found a way to rebuke the Lord for such hard words against the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes in Matthew 23. The Lord tells us in Jeremiah 1:17-19 “Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them. Today, I am the One who has made you a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land – against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the population. They will fight against you but never prevail over you, since I am with you to rescue you. This is the Lord’s declaration.” We must stand up and declare EXACTLY what God is declaring to us! We have been forewarned that the world and even brethren will fight against us as we declare the undiluted truth of God’s Word, but He promises to be with us because He is the One sending us. When we become highly exalted in the eyes of the people of the world by this message, something is grossly wrong. Have you not read in the Scriptures that Christ was rejected? He told us not to worry if we are rejected, they rejected Him first! Why then are we seeking acceptance from a world that has been darkened and overtaken by evil? However, when we declare His truth, His light will permeate the world and the darkness will not be able to overcome it. We are not called into a popularity contest but called to declare the praises (WORD) of He that has called us from the darkness of this world into His marvelous light. Therefore, GET READY and begin to declare His UNDILUTED TRUTH to His glory for the days are evil and time is far spent! God bless you as you arise!!!

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

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,...

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!         ...
