Be Sensitive To These Issues

      We are living in times when the Scriptures are truly unfolding in our times. The happenings throughout history have been mentioned in one form or the other in the Bible. We may choose to disbelieve this but it doesn't detract from the truth. One curious thing that is playing out now before our very eyes was what happened when Jesus healed the demoniac man in Mark 5. Jesus asked him his name. I believe he was asking for the man's given name. But he was so far gone from him being possessed by the enemy, that he gave the enemy's name instead. He said: "What is your name? He asked him. 'My name is Legion', he answered Him, 'because we are many" (Mark 5:9).  
        Some years ago, looking at the Scripture, we would feel how sorry the state of the man was. The question in many minds was, how can one person be many?! Of course, we know it is because of the many demons that resided in him. But it was incredulous. Curiously today, many that have deviated from the path of humanity and Christ, choose to call themselves by this name. And one wonders, grammar aside, how can one person be many, and choose to live like that? 
     Sadly, we know they are not in their right senses because only One person is permitted to live in us, and that is the Holy Spirit. However, for this reason, we do not refer to ourselves in the plural because He lives in us. We refer to ourselves as one with Him - unity! But when you have to refer to yourself in the plural, because it is fashionable to do so, then something(s) else lives in you, and has bonded with you! Thus, you are many! This is not fashion nor is it technology. This is the devil trying to rewrite the story of man! 
      Sadly, this form of madness is slowly swallowing the world and we think we can tolerate or accommodate it. I wonder what the men of old will call this generation now if they were to see it. Beloved, do not buy into the madness of the present times that seek to rewrite the Scriptures, our sense of right and wrong, morality and humanness. God is good and all that He created is good! People's spiritual blindness and love of the flesh have made man give way to the onslaught of darkness. 
      Beloved, you are beautiful and fearfully made in His image. If you allow Him into your heart, you become One with Him, just as He is One with the Father and the Holy Spirit: "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are One" (1John 5:7), NOT MANY, BUT ONE! Don't allow the enemy to becloud your mind with confusing and deadly thoughts that look like they have a semblance of sense. "So think about the good things that are there in heaven above. Do not think only about things that are on the earth. Remember that your old nature has died. God is keeping your new life safe with Christ. You have that new life because you belong to Christ..." (Colossians 3:2-4a, EASY). 
       All you have to do, if you are not yet One with Jesus Christ is to open the door of your heart to Him, and invite Him into your life. "Behold, I'm standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hearing My voice and you open the door within, I will come into you and feast with you, and you will feast with Me" (Revelation 3:20, TPT). 
      Beloved, don't allow the enemy to remould you into a creature of amusement for him and his demons to bring shame and discredit to the Kingdom of God! God bless you as you stand your ground and remain committed to the Lord Jesus Christ as we await His Return!

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,...
