Read Ephesians 6:10-20
When a spiritual virus starts to operate in a church, members start to come to church late and at times do not come at all, workers become lackadaisical, the Pastors start to commit adultery with members of the choir, and prayer life of the church becomes almost nothing. Eventually, the church becomes stagnated, closes up, and the church is turned to a mosque as the church building is bought over by Muslims. What a tragedy!

The questions are often asked, “Who is a Christian? How do I know a Christian if I meet one? Does Matthew, Luke, or John pass for a Christian? Is everyone who raises up his hand in response to a preacher’s call to repentance a Christian? Does everyone who passes through the church isle to the altar pass for a Christian? Are all those in church pews during church services Christians? Who is a Christian? Finally you may ask, “Am I a Christian?”
A soul winner on evangelism met a drunk drifting down a lane. In his attempt to help him discover the true purpose of living’ he asked, “Are you a Christian?” The answer came quick and sharp “What do you think I am? A Pagan?” This is a pitiful point.
A brilliant preacher full of energy and zeal got the pass mark of his congregation. But his life at home showed a pattern of pride and jealousy found in the fallen angel – Lucifer.
A gifted and talented lady-soloist sings like an angel and prays like a prophet but she talks and acts with thunder and volcano in her voice. Her red-hot temper, contentiousness and confusion are marks of her presence at home or at work. Are these Christians? A ‘Niagara’ of stormy words is an indication of the absence of Christ in the heart. Continue reading

Now you’ve bought a copy of the Holy Bible: you’ve probably begun to read it without fully grasping the concepts and the inherent power and authority associated with the book. Let’s get the point straight: the Holy Bible cannot be compared with any other religious books out there. There is a super-natural power and authority that stems from reading and obeying the commandments in the Holy Bible.
The Bible says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12. It’s amazing to observe that the Bible has being credited to be sharper than two-edged sword. The power and authority in the word of God is no doubt, the only weapon that can be used against the devil and his agents. Read the Bible today and live a Holy life. Continue reading

Psalm 90 vs. 12 says ‘So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom’
By the grace of God, I will be 45 years old on December 6, 2011.
Isaiah 19:3 … And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel ..
The spirit of Egypt is the spirit of bondages, limitations and oppressions.
How do you received deliverance from the spirit of bondage?
How do you received deliverance from the spirit of oppression?
How do you received deliverance from the spirit of poverty?
How do you received deliverance from the spirit of limitation?
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.

Only the Penitent Man Shall Pass
The Bible gave a detail description of Heaven and outlined the requirements for gaining access through the gate. In Revelation 22:1-5, “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb…And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” Amen!
Dearly beloved, there is no country on the face of this earth that could be compared to the glorious appearance of Heaven. The Bible stated that the streets of Heaven are made of gold. Heaven remains the focus of those that are truly redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The gates in Heaven are not open to every Dick and Harry.
Only the penitent man shall pass through those gates. Yes, Only the penitent! Only the penitent church and congregation shall pass. Irrespective of the external religious adornment we intent to put on sometimes, yet only the penitent man shall pass. The gates will shut out the hypocrites and church-goers ravaged by endless gossip, envy, hatred, and jealousy. Continue reading

Peter (one of the disciples of Jesus Christ) was sleeping between two soldiers when sure death was awaiting him on the morrow. This is the mark of God’s children. They can sleep with danger hanging over them. They are not troubled. The peace of God is in their heart and they rest in the full confidence in God’s loving care. Today we are taught to fear many things from our childhood. There are lurking reptiles and many other things. Satan makes use of this fear. The vital Christian life which develops in us childlike confidence in God is a great blessing.
It is a mark of spiritual maturity. Jesus was once surprised at the fear-complex in His disciples. But now Peter was sleeping soundly on the eve of his execution as a child sleeps in the arms of its mother. When we have a heart free from sin and hold fast the attitude of keeping from sin either accidentally or deliberately, we will grow into this confidence. Fear is not of God.
Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Continue reading

There is something wrong in the fearful. It shows a sense of guilt. If you do not develop faith, you can offer no excuse to God. You cannot say that fear is instinctive. Many instincts will be brought under the control of the Spirit.
You will reach a stage when you cannot keep hatred and anger in your heart. Your heart and mind and body will be sanctified. Whoremongers and the fearful people seem to be classified together by God. This is a tormenting fear that is not of faith. You must venture out to do God’s will. The value of you life will be increasing with your growing confidence in God.
Your prayer must become more and more intense. You must not be satisfied with the small faith you now have. You must grow into full confidence in the Lord. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
This is the stage Peter reached. If you neglect your opportunities for prayer, you cannot suddenly find this trust in God. Unless you make use of your opportunities to grow, you cannot have faith in times of trouble. The devil wants to shake us and expose our fear to all people. He wants to make our shallowness visible to all. Prayer works in you a great thing. It unifies your personality and unites you with the Trinity.
What are your greatest fears? What are the things that bring daily fear and trouble? Is it fear of death, fear of loss of job, fear of demonic attacks, fear of sudden sickness, fear of accident, and so on? No matter what, Jesus Christ said “fear not.” Put your trust in God and He will walk you through the storming sea of life without fear.
Blessed are your eyes for reading this message. Please, don’t let this message die read it again and pass it to others.

Unfortunately, most Christians are not living the life of a Lion though they were created to reign as Lions. Most Christians are living a life of failures, defeats, disappointments, and unfruitfulness.
Most Christians are best described as wounded Lions. Created like Lions, but have been defeated by the enemy in battle, and now caged. Typical of wounded Lions, most Christians have been victims rather than victors, they have been losers rather than winners, they have been hostages of war, rather than winners of war.
If you know you are a wounded Lion, then you need to pray like a wounded lion. A wounded Lion does not pray like a Gentleman or Lady. The prayer of a wounded Lion is aggressive, intense, fervent, sharp, desperate, violent, unrelenting, focused, deep, and continuous.
Wounded Lions are prayer warriors. Wounded Lions are always praying in the spirit.

Have you ever think about what lies ahead, when you transitioned out of this World? Have you ever wondered about the destiny of the souls of men, when separated from the body? Can you reflect on the day you lost a loved one, as you saw the lifeless body? Have you ever think about where the souls of all that have died might be at this time? Are you not convinced that one day you and I may also have to answer that call, when it’s all over?
Dearly beloved, out of deep love, inspiration and concern did I write this words to you. This World is passing away. Things will not continue in this fashion forever. When it’s all over! When all of life is gone! When the soul is separated from the body, where will you be? The devil is very smart at making us to believe that life will continue for a long time. He tells the young, “you still have time, live your life the way you want.” He tells the old, “you still have many more years.” When it’s all over, what lies ahead? Continue reading

My tongue shall not lead me to hell in Jesus name.
