Sex is Sweet but.......

Have you ever wondered why God carefully positioned a membrane of blood in a lady’s
sexual opening? It is a tiny membrane that partially or completely covers the opening of the vagina. It is called the  “HYMEN”.

Why would God-Our Maker put a breakable tissue full of blood at the very door of the sexual opening of the female?
Why is it so carefully placed at that entrance, like a ribbon tied at the entrance of a new house about to be launched?
Why is it filled with blood that spills away when it is broken? Why? Without doubt, the HYMEN IS A GATE!
It was God (our creator) who set that blood- filled vessel there as a covenant blockage, a sign and a token of a covenant between the bearer and whoever plunges into her opening.
Before God, the dis-virginity of a lady is not a casual act of fun. It is a serious covenant struck and confirmed by the blood shed on that day. This is God’s way of saying, “Whoever plunges into this woman shall only be able to do so
by making a blood covenant to be joined to her for the rest of his life, from that point onward.
Little wonder why sexual intercourse was designed by God to take place only and only after the marriage contract is  sealed.

The one who made the body (the hormones, organs, nerves, tissues, e.t.c)God said it in clear terms, the body is not for fornication”. Anyone who chooses to use the body for fornication must know that he/ she is working directly against God’s plan and there would definitely be a consequence either now or at old age!There is a spiritual bonding, a supernatural
process that takes place in a lady’s heart to the first guy that enters in to her especially at that particular time when the hymen breaks. There is no covenant without blood: this is why the membrane contains enough of it.

As a matter of fact, what happens the first time a lady has sex is not just sex but an immersion and a bathing of the man with her hymen blood to initiate a covenant that is highly recognized in the spirit realm of both light and darkness!
The first time this happens just marks her opening day covenant ceremony and each subsequent experience goes on to further refresh or strengthen that covenant or establish another version of it with another person.
Many have washed useless boys with that hymen-blood. Many have struck irreversible covenants with men that have nothing to do with their
destiny. Many have shared that hymen blood in sexual activity with demon-possessed men while some others have struck such precious covenants with candle sticks as they exercised sex with it.

If only they knew,many girls who carelessly allowed themselves to be disvirgined in a bid to be among the so called “big girls” would never have done so.

The let me says it in clear terms: “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot (through sexual activity) is one with her ?

 This is why many girls are not yet married yet their spiritual composition is already shattered and imbalanced, because they have mingled their souls with that of different men.

Dear Singles,know today that there is a definite proportion of your virtue that leaves you each time a man enters into you and when that man leaves you, he leaves with it. Just imagine how much of yourself would be lost each time a man enters into you without any properly signed marriage bond or contract. Sex is a spiritual affair. A giving of yourself to another. 

All of these things have strong and terrible spiritual implications. A broken hymen opens you up to the spirit of
the man that broke it, any other spirit whatsoever that may have mingled with that man’s spirit, those who have mingled theirs with him and the spirit of any other man that enters into you thereafter. The fun part is that pre-marital sex is not funny at all. 
What happens between the lines could be deadly and dangerous. The very first day a lady, or a man does that there will be spiritual transfer of destiny. The sin of fornication gives demons and occultist  direct access into your God's given destiny.
 And it drives the away your guardian angel will no longer be with you,So guys,zip up! Girls wise up!! It doesn't matter but yet it matters a lot.

BIG THINGS COMES FROM LITTLE THINGS WE DO!!! I know a soul has been touched today, remain blessed! Share to all ur friends and to many groups and save many souls. Peace b with
you all.

VIRGINITY AHEAD!


STOP!! DONT BREAK THAT GATE!!!

WHY DID JESUS FOLD THE NAPKIN

INTERESTING Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this.... The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed separate from the grave clothes. 

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!' Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see.. The other disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. 

He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side. Was that important? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes! In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. 

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now, if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. 
For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'. But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because........... The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'
HE'S COMING BACK!!!!

THE FALL OF THE POWERS DARKNESS 1&2

Part 1

If life was eternal, their won't be any corrupt soul living, they'll have been forcefully destroyed.

Let me share with you a mystery.

Lucifer started merchandising while in Heaven, he began what we know today as trade by Barter.

Because he was the Anointed Cherub, he had access to very powerful places, he was allowed freely into the Mountain of God, where the SON'S of God habited and lived as Stones of Fire.

Lucifer accessed them willingly and since the Stones of fire were custodians of the eternal mystery, by reason which the world as it is today was created/formed for their habitation, he was given knowledge of the WILL of God, the deep secrets of God were left with him.

He did not share this mystery freely, but will always want something from any Angel who came to his court to hear what he had to tell. Ezekiel 28:4-5

Lucifer was beautifully crafted, unlike the others he was adorned with precious stones. Ez. 28:13-18

He was made perfect.

Now, an Anointed Cherub and the Elect Angels are the few creations formed by word as ministering spirits that will be allowed into Eternity, the rest, because they were formed by the word of God, his words once its accomplished that which it was sent to do, must return to him who sent it. Is.55:11

Lucifer in his many interactions with the Stones of fire was able to access the Book of Life, it was quite troubling and revealing.

In one of his visit, he was allowed a glimpse into the creation of Man and what will befall the Heavens and its contents which included the Angels and every creation of God by word. 2Peter 3:10

He was in AWE of the revelation of and creation of Man, in his glory, he would have expected that should the unseen God decides to be seen, what other form could he take than that of an Angel, created with every precious Stone.

He was dumbstruck that God will also become MAN. (1Timothy 3:16).

It caused him ache, to be told that Man, mere dust, the least particle of creation was what was going to HOUSE God.

God and every Stone of Fire will inhabit eternity as Man.

This was the turning point of what happened in heaven.

Lucifer quickly assembled the Angels, he had one last opportunity to break even, there was a way out no doubt, if ETERNAL LIFE was going to be accessed as Mortals, the Angels stood a chance too.

He began his research, 1Peter 1:12.

Part 2

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being Priest for me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your Children. Hosea 4:6

Lucifer had gathered the Angels, one third (1/3) of them at appeared in his court to hear him out.

His announcement had reached the ends of the Heaven, during the gathering of the Son’s of God (Angels) he had made a proclamation; he was going to reveal the REVELATIONS to the Angels. Frantically his summons were heard, even those who were elect like him, an Angelic Priest who in one time had appeared on the Earth but was the 1^st recorded Fallen Angel to have been received by God back in the Heavens. (I will withhold his name here) His appearance on Earth had cause so much controversy for unlike the other Angels and Lucifer, he had not broken the everlasting covenant. Is 24:5.

Lucifer’s summons were received, his words was power, the Cherub that was upon the Holy Mountain of God, the Cherub that had an habitation on the earth, carrying messages of God and featuring in the alliance and creation of the universe, he was to be heard and all the Angels gathered.

He was going to be like God, he thundered, silence fell on the congregation of Angels, “I will sit on the seat of God he told them, I am a God, I will seat in the midst of the seas.” Ezekiel 28:2-6

No Angel could muster strength to look at him; he fanned his wings and the melody of his timbrets were clear as light, as the message he sang sank into the subconscious of them that were gathered before him.

He was wiser than Daniel they all knew, he was rebelling and they could only but see the promises in his rebellion.

The Angels were faced with two TRUTHS

If they were to see eternity, they will have to go with Lucifer, or remain in Heaven waiting for when their assignment would be complete and they return to where they came from.

Should their rebellion succeed they will also live eternally as Man and should they fail, they will perish in perdition. Jude1: 6

One third decided to go with Lucifer, they will take their chances, and eternity was worth dying for.

But how were they to co-join Lucifer in becoming like God?

Lucifer perfectly understood what was going to unfold in the dispensation of MAN. He knew creation was ready to explode, he had his fair share of knowledge, he had been opportune to have heard seen the book, Darkness and the POWERS thereof had visited him. He was aware of the mystery of LIGHT, why it came forth from Darkness and why Darkness and its powers there of (The Seven Spirits of Darkness) could never comprehend light. Is.45: 7. John1:5.

Becoming like God was a matter of time.

There was WAR in Heaven. Rev.12: 3-9

I have touched on a cord; we must look into before I delve into the WAR that left the 3^rd Heaven desolate till date.

The Powers of Darkness and their role in what we as Children of Light face today. The scripture in Eph 6:12 captures the truth glaring when Paul stated that, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of Darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

The Seven Spirit of Darkness:

These where in existence before the foundation of the world were laid, even LIGHT existed before creation in the confines of Darkness. God spirit roved and lives within it. The Powers of Darkness enjoyed limitless interactions with God before Light was called forth, it was the doyen of God, it was as light before God but it was static, very stagnant and unproductive, had no dynamism and did not please God in as much as it was God’s creation.

Genesis 1:2 And the Earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Darkness by every standard is like light, possess the same creative power, contains life and its an embodied Spirit entity Seven in number and their names are contain in the scripture though they are referred to as gods, unto whom the God divided the 7 continents amongst them.

I am taking you into very deep mystery.

They enjoyed the void, the emptiness of creation, Heaven and Earth was void, empty no life form whatsoever.

In his wisdom, God said, “Let there be Light!”

There was Light, and from there onward till date, there has been a sordid and pronounce hatred, war, battle of supremacy, conspiracy and what have you between Light and Darkness.

Have you ever stoop to consider why the lesser Light, (Moon) and the greater lights (Sun) were created to separate Day from Night, Darkness from Light?

No, we have not bothered, so we constantly fight a battle with unseen forces. One Man of God describes the Power of Darkness as the ‘powers behind the power’.

They have remained invincible; they orchestrate all the battles humans contend with, struggle with and battle with, without knowing what exactly they are contending with.

Anyway Light has constantly won, but let me expose here for you a little about what could certainly be answers to some prayers.

Someone is reading this and has had over 40 years battle with the spirit of Darkness, and today as you read this, God is setting you free from their hold over you and your foundation, for whenever they are exposed, brought to light, they are defeated.

This is the singular reason, why they (The Powers of Darkness) have failed to COMPREHEND LIGHT (Jesus Christ). John1:5.

As there is Seven Spirit of Light, there are also Seven Spirits of Darkness.

Light has been allowed its revelation, Light has been revealed to us, but till date the Powers of Darkness have not had such grace to be revealed as an entity.  The only revealed entity of Darkness is DEATH. Light represents LIFE.  This is very deep and a mystery, death came into the world through the fall of MAN, it was never God’s intent that creation should be subject to any form and attributes of darkness, but because of its invasion. Romans 8:18-23 For I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19. For the earnest expectations of the creature waited for the manifestation of the Sons of God (Stones of Fire).

20.  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who had subjected the same in hope,

21. Because the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the Children of God….

Because of its unique nature, Darkness has constantly beguiled every creation of Light, Lucifer was its 1^st casualty, then the Legion of Angels that fell with Lucifer, co-opting them into becoming demons and using them to possess souls in an effort to become eternal being. It was a fatal mistake.

I will explain that in details later.

Why is Darkness in contention with Light?

The Battle has had to do with ETERNAL LIFE (ETERNITY).

After God adopted Light, and called it forth from Darkness, God was marveled at the dynamism of Light, as it sprung forth, it unleashed creation, brought forth all things created both in Heaven and on Earth.

Genesis 1:4 And God saw that Light, that it was good and God divided the Light from Darkness.

It was this separation (dividing Light from Darkness) that has brought about the many wars Heaven and Earth has witnessed and still rages in every creation of Light, even in us who believe in the name of Jesus Christ.

In separating the two, God saw one was good and ascribed unto it WILL, which is the Power to remain infinite and eternal.

Darkness was sentenced to extinction, (Rev 22:5) a fate it was never going to accept without a fight at trying to also destroy the creations of Light, in order to erode its credibility before the one true God who created both Darkness and Light for his PLEASURE.

In the hereafter, when Eternity will begin, there shall be no DARKNESS, God alone will be Light.

Darkness invades the CREATIONS of Light.

Lucifer’s visitation was swift, he was brought to understand also that the Angels were to be extinct just like darkness and even though he as an Anointed Cherub and also Elect Angel, and was granted life eternal, but he also wanted a form more eloquent as the form God was to take in the Eternity. He also understood that the Angels were spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.  Destined to be eradicated before the beginning of eternity. Heb 1:7

Words designed for a purpose after which they were all to return to where they came from.

Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.

Heb 2:5-7 For unto the Angels hath He not put in subjection the world to come, wherefore we speak.

Knowing that after they had been part of the machinery of creation, being used as ministers and realizing that they were not in the plan of God for eternity, they all came together to revolt, in rebelling they sought out how they too could be part of ETERNITY.

Because God was going to live eternally as Man, the Angels sought at how they could become Man, the Spirit of Darkness too thought Man was its carriage and passage into eternity so they began to conspire and it resulted in the fall of Man in Eden.

I want to continue, but what happened in Eden is best left as it is. For at anytime the truth about Eden be told, I am sure it will herald a great change in Christendom such as yet unseen since the age began.

DELIVERANCE FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS

This is in itself a book; the story of our redemption and the battle that brought about our redemption if I should narrate all will fill 1000 chapters of a book.

But let me confine these to what happened at the CROSS of Calvary in Jerusalem.

The Last battle between Light and Darkness was a beauty to behold, its records and narrative in the Holy Bible has not been fully understood by Christians, this is so because they only could have understood what happened at the cross if they had foreknowledge of the root of the matter as I have taken time to expunge here.

Jesus conquered Darkness and Hades, brought death under his authority even on the cross.

Had they defeated him on the cross our Salvation would have been lost completely.

Hanging on the cross at about the 6^th hour, there was darkness all over the Earth until the 9^th hour. The Sun was darkened and the veil of the Temple was rent in the midst. Luke23:44-45.

Matthew27:45-52

The Graves were opened many bodies of the Saints which slept arose.

What transpired between the 6^th and the 9^th hour between Light and Darkness has been kept away from the world, if we knew all that had transpired, we will never remain captives to the bondages that still hold us in captivity even as Christians.

Now let me capture the story as Apostle Paul explained it in Colossians2: 14-15 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.

15. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

This scripture as captured by Paul took place at Calvary, immediately Jesus was nailed to the cross the powers of Darkness appeared on earth physically again since their separation, the Light of the Sun could not separate them again as Darkness was faced with the knowledge that should Jesus succeed on the cross, by willingly giving up his life, they had no more chance or opportunity of exhibiting their power over Mankind, neither will they be able to stop the process of eternity. They desire more than anything to elongate the second coming and ensure they still remain and are relevant with life, and be part of existence in whatever form, for should Jesus return today, now, their end is eminent. They have kept their mystery and existence so hidden in thick darkness conspicuously for the fear of their end. A very significant reason why they have beguiled Men of God, the Church and have so transformed themselves, so much that till date, very few know what is being exposed here.

This was their last battle to save face and hold on to life as it was before creation.

I really would have to describe this in words on the pulpit whilst demonstrating how he won for us our salvation; one against Seven, Light overcame darkness.

He took over authority over the Seven powers of Darkness, he disgraced them made an open shew of them, lead the Seven of them in Chains in an open procession across the streets of Judea. He publicly disgraced them.

I know some of you will be wondering if I was there on that day, I think I saw this event, it plays vividly in my minds eyes.

Jesus triumph over darkness and it was in grand style.

He commanded the graves to release the Saints long dead, they came forth from their graves, some went to see their families, spoke with those that could have known them, and this was the demonstration of his infinite POWER.

Jesus became Lord of Light and Lord of Darkness on that day.

If he hadn’t taken over their power, it would have been almost impossible for him to have rose from the grave himself on the 3^rd day. What transpired between those 3 hours was like a 3000 years event.

I am worried, Christians do not fully understand nor can comprehend what Jesus did for them on the Cross, they still loiter around in fear and bondage, a people who had long been set free, are still enslaved to what has been extinct. Darkness died after the cross, what the devil and his cohort is using against us are mere illusions of what was. Their power over our lives had been broken and destroyed long before we were born.

You are free.

The gift of life is priceless.

Health Benefits of Garlic

Garlic is the most powerful antibiotic cure nature has to offer. This unsuspecting herb can be used to treat a number of heart and blood-related conditions, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and is even used by some to prevent common cancers, like stomach, colon and even breast cancer. This is due to a chemical in the garlic called allicin, the same element that makes the garlic smell and probably the reason for the folk belief on vampires. 

Studies have shown that allicin can aid tremendously in weight loss and may even help cure the common cold. Yet it is important to note that the wonderful powers of garlic are optimized when the garlic is completely raw, peeled and crushed, and when it is consumed only as a medicine.The ways to use garlic to fend off real-life vampires like the flu and other diseases:

1. Cold and Fever Cure 

 

An effective cold and fever cure is garlic tea. To make the tea boil some water and crush 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic (peeled) into the bottom of the mug. Then add the hot water, lemon and a bit of honey (to ease the taste) and drink it all down at once. Repeat as often as possible until the fever or cold symptoms subside.

2. Treat Skin and Fungal Infections 

 

To treat skin or fungal infections, garlic can be used topically on a daily basis. Apply a sliced of garlic to a wart spot regularly (about 2-3 times per day) and be amazed at the improvement! The wart or corn may not completely disappear, but any discomfort will subside. 

3. Garlic as an Antibiotic 

 

As mentioned above, in order to use garlic as an antibiotic, it is best not to consume the herb regularly. Studies have shown that eating raw garlic at the onset of food poisoning can kill off the deadly E.coli, Staph and Salmonella bacteria. Chop up garlic and drink it in a tea, this time without lemon, and a bit of honey, and the poisoning is sure to subside. 

4. For Those That Can't Stand the Taste

 

If you are not a big fan of garlic or its taste, there are some allicin supplements that can be store-bought and taken as needed. It is important to remember, however, that the potency of the allicin depends on its preparation, and it can change into a different chemical quickly. For this reason, it is best to buy the most natural version of an allicin vitamin where it is available, or stomach the taste of raw garlic just when you are sick. 

5. Bug Repellent 

 

Another way to use garlic harks back to the tell-tale vampire myth. Smearing garlic over the skin not only prevents against bacterial or fungal infections, but can also ward off mosquitos and ticks quite effectively. One village in India uses only garlic to deter the deadly Malaria mosquitos and can attest to the natural and harmless effectiveness of garlic. All that remains is to overcome the sharp smell!

Garlic in its many forms can be used to treat and prevent a variety of diseases and conditions, and, just as the folklore suggests, is nature's miracle solution for warding off the bad.

Power of the Tongue.

THOUGHTS MAY COME AND MAY EVEN PERSIST IN STAYING BUT IF WE FAIL TO PUT THOSE THOUGHTS INTO WORDS, THEY DIE UNBORN.

My dear beloved, I pray for you daily, and we are connected spiritually, that's why you are a recipient of this messages. I pray for a change of story for you but you have a responsibility in birthing that change. Your words are more powerful than the devil. What you confess goes a long way to determine the order and experiences of your life.

God cannot go against your words. Words are spirits. Even though you cannot physically see the spiritual realm, your words are very loud over there. Your word is YOU spiritually. In the spirit world; words rule.

I want you to understand that even though you may be joking physically, in the spirit realm, there is no joke. Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of the tongue. There are evil speakers speaking against you night and day, Psalm 140:11. No wonder God never slumbers nor sleeps, He stays awake to counter what they are saying with what you are saying. So speak if you must live, speak if your change must come in that area of concern.

Your words prove whether you are afraid or you have faith. Speak, no matter how bad the situation is, your words can change it. If LIFE and DEATH are in the power of the tongue, then there is nothing that your words cannot stop or start. Today your words will be confirmed in Jesus Precious Name. I uproot idle,negative, fear-filled words that are growing to make you groan in Jesus Mighty Name. Be blessed.

WEEKEND REFLECTION.

Read in-between the verses the conversation of the blind Man after he received his sight with the Pharisee carefully.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said, This is he: others said , He is like him: but he said, I am he . Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no , I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow , we know not from whence he is. The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (John 9:1-41 KJV)

Lesson derived from this are;

1. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."

Brethren,
You may find yourself in some despicable situation and problem right now, they are not as a result of your sin, nor the sin of your parents but God is about to use your situation to glorify himself. You were created for just this hour, God is about doing something great through you for his glory.

2. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

If Jesus dared to do this ritual or assignment today in our modern churches, he'll have been referred to as an herbalist.lol
But here is the Son of God using the elements of creation in healing a blind Man, he asked him to go wash in a pool.
God can use anything, water, rain drops, sun rays to change your situation. The ways of God cannot be determined and are unsearchable, always expect the unexpected in your walk with God.

3. The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said, This is he: others said , He is like him: but he said, I am he . Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

God will make you an everlasting excellency, in so much that when your neighbours, friends n family will see you appear, they'll be confused, perplexed and confounded. They will go out inquiring how you got your deliverance.
They will want to know where you worship.
They will visit your Parents to find out if it's truly you!!
Praise the Lord!!!

4. "And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue."

Your Parents might not want to loose their position in church, council or social circle, don't let their unbelief bother you. Press on, hold on to your faith in Jesus. He alone will never disappoint you.

The Blind Man made very interesting revelations about God during his cross examination by the Pharisees, he even began to teach them about God. Please read below;

THE TESTIMONY OF THE BLIND MAN.

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. (John 9:30-33 KJV)

Dear Brethren,
God heareth not sinners, if a Man worships the Lord and do his will him only will God hear.
We pray amiss, when sin dwell within us, we must confess all our sins, break away from all unrighteousness, for it's written; But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. (Obadiah 1:17 KJV).

Let's be sincere, only true deliverance and holiness will allow us posses our possession.

To be continued..........

HAPPY NEW MONTH

The Earth is the Lord and its fulness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein, for he had founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods, who will ascend unto the hill of the Lord or who shall stand in his holy presence?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Psalm 24:1-5

Brethren,
Standing in the presence of God with clean hands and a pure heart guarantees you not just blessings, but longevity, you will inherit this EARTH, the enemies of God, he will shake out of the earth, but them that love him shall inherit the Land.

This New month, endeavor like never before to stand in his presence with clean hands and pure heart and you will be astonished at what he will do for you.

Happy new Month!!

God bless and keep you as you seek him.

He is Lord - Lara George.

Preaching and teaching the WORD of God with the demonstration of POWER! by Kelvian Gabriel

Beloved friends, when the word of God is preached, taught or presented in a way that it directly or indirectly relate to the present circumstance in your life; touching your innermost soul; penetrating your heart deeply with it wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God; instantly changing and transforming your mind as you hear, read, or observe the WORD OF GOD in action; the POWER of God will be released upon your life to deliver you from every circumstance you may find yourself in, if only you believe, according to the working of his great power. 
Ephesians 1:20-23  states that, "God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all."

For this reason, Pastors and Teachers of the scriptures must live by the Spirit, and be guided by the Spirit.

Paul said in Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

"But, as it is written, What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.

These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

For what human being knows what is truly human except the human spirit that is within? So also no one comprehends what is truly Gods except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.

And we speak of these things in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to those who are spiritual.

Those who are nonspiritual do not receive the gifts of Gods Spirit, for these are foolishness to them, and they are unable to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Those who are spiritual, discern all things, and they are themselves subject to no one's scrutiny.

For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

Do not be deceived, not everyone that calls themselves Christians are truly practicing Christianity.

And do not be equally deceived, Satan knows the scriptures very well too. He does not operate in ignorance like some of us do, see 2 Corinthians 2:11

Satan has enough knowledge to make demands on people's lives, see Luke 22:31.

Satan uses people, see John 13:27;

Satan fills the hearts of people, see Acts 5:3.

Hmmm! Satan has power, see Acts 26:18.

Satan is available to destroy the flesh, see 1 Corinthians 5:5

Satan can tempt us because of lack of control, see 1 Corinthians 7:3-5.

Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, see 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

"And no wonder! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will match their deeds."

Satan has a messenger to torment people in order to keep them from being elated (joyous), see 2 Corinthians 12:6-9, etc! etc!! etc!!!

Our Lord Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23, Concerning Self-Deception, "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name? Then I will declare to them, I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers."

Beloved, my bible tells me in John 4:24 that, "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He that have Him have life. He that does not have Him, does not have life. (Jn 14:6)

The words that He has spoken to us are spirit and life. (Jn 6:63)

We must have a firm grasp of the word that is trustworthy in accordance with the teaching, so that we may be able both to preach with sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it (Titus 1:9).

We are told in 2 Timothy 3:16 that, "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."

The Holy Bible, though is seen as the top seller in the history of humankind is not to be seen or read as any other ordinary book. The scripture is inspired by God and my bible tells me in Hebrews 4:12-13:-

"Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account."

Therefore beloved, teachers, pastors, evangelist, ministers etc. must study the word exegetically and also fully depend on God's gift of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, so that as the good news is preached and taught, healing will also take place in Jesus Name.

In order to preach and teach with the demonstration of power, we must be clothed with power from on high.” As confirmed in Luke 24:49, "And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

Jesus commissioned His Disciples not only to preach and teach but to do this with demonstration of power as confirmed in Mark 16:15-18, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.

The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.

Wao! That is the way it should be. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, "My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God."

Also in 2 Corinthians 4:7, he said, "But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us."

Therefore, Christ in us the hope of glory! Preachers and teachers must live by the Spirit, and also be guided by the Spirit.

Our Lord Jesus in John 14:15-17,
"Also in John 16:7-15, He said, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

about sin, because they do not believe in me;

about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;

about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Our Lord Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 10:19-20 saying: "When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Preaching or teaching without the Help of the Holy Spirit is lethal and comes with no demonstration of power. It is just like another story line, no impact, no life in it.

Where God is! Where the Son is!! Where the Holy Spirit is!!! There is always a demonstration of power.

Let us not preach and teach empty words without the power of God to cleanse, change, transform, heal, deliver and give life (Christ) to those who are in need.

Let us live and be guided by the spirit so that we can preach and teach giving life (Christ) to those who are lifeless; hope to the hopeless; deliverance to those in bondage; heal the broken hearted and the sick; raise the dead; open blind eyes and deaf ears; and set the captives free.

Beloved, the night is far gone, the day is near.

Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.

Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires (Romans 13:12-14).

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).

Christ in you, the hope of glory!

God is in this place.

Dear Brethren,
He is here, lets celebrate the presence of the Lord, the Holy one who we adore, He is here, God of all creation, maker of the heavens and the earth.
Let us lift up our eye to the heavens thanking him for his wonderful grace.

He sit upon the circles of water. For He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud. He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble and astounded at his rebuke. By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab the sea monster.

Should we fear?
For God is with us a mighty terrible one, we dare not invite his wrath even upon our enemies, for he alone created light, he created darkness, he makes peace and creates evil, the Lord God do all this things.

Fear not, even for our State, no, for with the mouth Men enter into covenants of darkness, the same tongue will devout Men enter into covenants of LIGHT even with God, our God.

Our Parent had sinned and we the children bear the iniquity, but now, even today, never will the sin of the Parent be published upon the children, for every soul that sinneth shall die.

Fear not, neither FRET when the wicked and evil doers sprout up like the green bay tress, for they shall soon be cut down and shall wither like the grass.
Commit thy way unto the Lord: trust also in him: and he shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light and thy judgment as the noonday.

God bless you all.
Akwa Ibom shall know peace even within the year of the Lord.

ARE YOU A FRIEND OF JESUS?

Beloved Brethren,

Today, I will love to ask each and every one of us a very simple question and also want us to identify independently what kind of interpersonal relationship we share with Master Jesus.
Do you, dearest beloved have any relationship whatsoever with Jesus?

Will Jesus on seeing you approach the porch of the Church, make a statement like thus in describing Nathaniel; John 1:47. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here comes an honest Man - a true Son of Israel (Nigeria)???"

Are we honest, true, and good ambassadors of our Nation/Country?
Can it be said of me by any on seeing me approaching, even if not led by the Spirit as Jesus was, " Here comes Michael, an honest and true Nigerian?
As Christians, though Nathanael was not born again, but was Jewish, and had hope of seeing the Messiah, and was researching the Book of the Law and the scrolls to know exactly at what time would the Messiah be manifest among the Jews., he was honest, clean and kept Gods words.

Some of us even when we claim to be born again today, Jesus will not say this of us, will he? Please send me feedback, if he will say this of you.

Am I honest? Ask yourself, am i representing the Kingdom of Jesus in my attitude and relationship, will friends, neighbor, relatives, and associates change their ways, convert and turn to God because of my honesty, attitude or way of life?
Are your attitude, faith, compassion, Mercy capable of bringing Men to Jesus or are your deeds enough to make Men despise the Lord and blaspheme?  2sam 12:14 However, because of this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of God to blaspheme, the child also that is born of you shall surely die." This was Gods judgment passed on David for the murder of Uriah, even though he David was a Man after Gods heart, God did not lower his standards for him and will never lower it for neither me nor you.

 BEING HONEST means;always telling the TRUTH,  and never stealing or cheating, not hiding the TRUTH about something.
We all ought to be honest even in our relationship with God and with one another, this is very important, let it be that you suffer for telling the TRUTH no matter the consequence.
Many of us, because we are too dishonest even to ourselves, the Holy Spirit cannot dwell within us, there are so many recorded SIN (s) in our life's that we will never confess before any Man, yet the scripture indulges us to confess one to another, for God is merciful, he will always forgive us as long as we can confess, (1John.1:8-10). And be not like Adam who hid his sin from God. Job.31:33. If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom. Gen. 3:8 They heard the sound of God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the Man and his Wife hid themselves among the trees from the Lord God.

James 4:7-10. So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. Draw close to God and God will draw close to you. Wash your hands you sinners; purify your hearts, you hypocrites. Let there be tears for the wrong things you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief . Let there be sadness instead of laughter and gloom instead of joy.10. When you bow down before the Lord and admit your dependent on him, he will lift you up and give you honour.


Dearly beloved, without cleansing and purging ourselves of every known sin through confession. James 5:16. Confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous Man  availeth much.
Not until we open our mouth and expose our shame openly to one another, we shall never been seen to be honest to God.
That choice is ours to make.

Prayer Point;

Lord make me an honest Christian, give me wisdom to confess my sins, because i fear you Lord.

Let your words be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Peace be unto you.
