As The Year ends…2


The fact that Christ is coming back again is not in dispute but how prepared are we for His return is the crux of the matter. Jesus Christ Himself declared in Matthew 24:36-44, that in as much as no one knows the time of His return, the world will be largely unprepared as it was during the days of Noah. Unfortunately, a large part of the Body of Christ is preoccupied with the things and happenings of the world and less attention is paid towards our eternal dwellings. No wonder so many have booked dates to the end of the next coming year. A year they don’t know if they will see. The sad part of this is they do not acknowledge that these dates will only hold if the Lord tarries in His return. We have been warned to live our days as if they are the last and to bear in mind in all we do His imminent return. Jesus is not going to delay His return because we have some appointment we must keep. Friend, how prepared are you for His return? All we are preoccupied with is how we will consolidate on the gains of this year and overturn the failures in order to do better next year. What about His return? What if He returns before the wonderful prophesies that are going forth right now comes to pass? Friend, note this, BLESSING YOU IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH GOD, He’s rather interested in you reigning with Him at the end! We have no excuse and must not be caught napping, we must actually prepare on a daily basis for His return. It is not a time to procrastinate what you have to do or become laid back in your responsibilities towards the Kingdom. In Matthew 25:1-13, a story was set forth that depicts exactly the present state of the Church. Just like the virgins in the story, the Church is presently sleeping but a call has gone forth that the Groom is here, we should come and meet Him. Just like the virgins you may have responded to the Lord purposefully by coming out of all that limited you in knowing Him carrying your lamp. But how much of God’s truth do you have in your flask. It is not enough to rely solely on the teachings and preaching of your Pastors but you must return and search the scriptures for yourself. So many errors concerning the Kingdom are being taught daily from pulpits all over the world, only those who have the truth in extra flask are able to discern this. Beloved, this Truth cannot be shared, you either have it or you don’t. However you can buy it! The Bible tells us to buy the truth and not sell it (Proverbs 23:23). No wonder the sensible virgins told the foolish ones to go buy some as what they have cannot be shared. Friend, we must not wait until the trumpet blows before we go searching to buy the truth. This is the time to stand up (purposely, audaciously and courageously) and search out the truth of God on a daily basis. Then you will be able to weed out every seed that is not of God flying around. This is our preparation! God’s word is not in high sounding philosophies, traditions and fears of men but in demonstrations of power to the glory of the Most High God! God bless you!

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...

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!         ...

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,...
