UNDERSTANDING THE ARMOR OF GOD

Image
UNDERSTANDING THE ARMOR OF GOD Ephesians 6:10-18 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication ...

Good Works Cannot Save

Image
You can be so close to somewhere and never enter there, you may not be far from a house and never enter in. There is difference between too close and being able to enter. The same is applicable to the kingdom of God. Your knowledge of God and your service unto God are wonderful, they make you close to the kingdom of God. You are now committed to things of God, you read your Bible and pray, you are devoted in your church and working for God, you pay your tithes and go through Bible class; now you know a lot about the things of God, you know your Bible more better and you pray more and preach better. But without practicing what you know, without holiness of life and righteousness of living, being clearly obvious in your life, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.

THE SECRETS OF SIN AND SERVING GOD

Image
THE SECRETS OF SIN AND SERVING GOD …….lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:11 Maybe you are just surrendering your life to Jesus, you have just surrendered your life to Jesus and began to experience that uncommon and genuine salvation or you have been in this glorious experience of new life in Jesus for long, we all need to understand these two important secrets, the devices of Satan to push us into sin and to pull us back from serving God. The Secret of Sin: Devices of Pushing Into Sin The secret of sin is that behind every sin is an assigned demon. No sin without a demon. The pressure and persuasion to commit sin that seems like you can’t resist it is the influence of demonic spirit. When you determined not to do something again and you found yourself right in the middle of that sin, when you made strong resolutions and decisions not to commit sin again and not long again you found yo...

THE SNARE OF FEAR OF SATANIC ATTACK

Image
THE SNARE OF FEAR OF SATANIC ATTACK -You've got to read this! 2 Timothy 1:7, " For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Do you wonder why many genuine children of God are being attacked by demonic people? It is because of fear. You can be a child of God and still remain under bondage of Satan and evil people, why? Because of fear! Without fear, it is impossible for a child of God to be attacked by Satan. When you genuinely give your life to Jesus Christ, you have power and authority over Satan, demons and all demonic people Matthew 10:1. But while you are suppose to command authority over evil spirits, they can exercise authority over you if you are afraid of them. You can be a child of God and your ship of marriage, health, family and finance can sink if you are afraid, simple. Many children of God think they need special anointing before they can overcome principalities and power, no, what they need is faith in Jesu...

The Test Of Trust

Image
THE TEST OF TRUST Exodus 15:22, “So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.” Before God can entrust greater things into your hands, either in your personal life or in the ministry, He will first teach you how you must trust Him with all your heart, and then test if you will eventually trust Him with all your life. The Lord taught and tested the children of Israel in the wilderness, but unfortunately majority of them failed and so they fell in the wilderness. Do you know that God knows your needs before you are aware of them? Yes He does! God knows you needed a life partner even before you saw the need for it, He knew you would need children when that was like the least thing you thought about. As a woman, God gave you womb since childhood, even when you did not need the womb, because God knew you would need the womb to conceive; God did not give you...

The True Gospel Of The Bible

Image
THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE BIBLE Note: You must read every Bible reference in this teaching from your own Bible. Bible verse: Mathew 4:17 “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus Christ came into this world with the greatest blessing for mankind, which is the Gospel! it is a great good news, there had been no such news on earth before Jesus Christ was born into this world, since then no news is as good as the Gospel till He will come back in His second coming. This good news is available for all mankind irrespective of their nation, colour, background or how sinful and terrible their lives have been. This is the greatest good news any man can have in his life From the beginning of the earthly ministry of Jesus, He presented the Gospel in a clear and simple words and way in Matthew 4:17 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus Christ said, “repent” but...

But God,Why?

Image
BUT GOD, WHY? You are you a child of God, serving Him and doing His will, and you were trusting God for something, you prayed and fasted and you felt confident in the Lord about it as you began to claim it, at the end nothing worked out! You felt, “But God why?” You wanted to write an exam, you prayed before registering and paying the huge amount, and you felt God was leading you to go ahead, then you did register and prepared day and night, prayed for God’s help for the professional or promotional exam. You were confident in the Lord for the success and looking ahead for the blessings, progress and promotion the success will yield for you, and you were even reciting how you would share the testimony for God’s glory. But alas, the result was a total failure, so painful as you looked back at the wasted effort, money and resources gone just like that? And you heard about unbelievers who made it in the exam, you felt like, “But God why? Why?”...

Why the name JESUS is unnerving

Image
The biggest controversy in the world of religion is the name Jesus Christ. The Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, and other religious groups do not have much problem with themselves than they do with Christianity. There is an open battle against the most relevant body in the world of faiths - Christianity. It is Islam against Christianity, Buddhism against Christianity, Hinduism against Christianity and in fact all religious groups against the Christian faith. The question is: Why is it that way? The answer that I keep getting is that, the issues other religious groups have gainst Christianity is the name Jesus. It irritates them the prominence He enjoys in Christianity. Some people, in their dark minds, are opposing the only true God, whom they ignorantly claim they are worshipping. The excessive hatred by Islam, Hindu, Judaism and the rest towards the name Jesus Christ is because He truthfully said He is God. If we are to carefully study the various religious groups and their faith we will...

The Perverted Teaching Of The Enemies Of The Cross

Image
THE PERVERTED TEACHINGS OF THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS Knowing that we are at the very end of the age, as Jesus Christ had foreseen and fore said that majority of the prophets at the end time would be false, they are in the vineyard, but working against it; and so if you believe that we are in the end time, the hidden truth is that majority of the prophets, pastors or bishops you know are false, they may even be your own pastors, mentors or role model. When the Bible talks about end time false prophets, does it means they will come in a strange, dirty way? No, the end time false prophets would come in a friendly and lovely way. These false prophets are the prosperity preachers everywhere, they are the motivational speakers, the miracle prioritized preachers, the problematic prayer ministers, the rich ministers, the luxurious preachers, and the money making ministers. As many Jews were waiting for the coming of Elijah before the earthly ministration of Jesus Christ, they didn't ...

Purpose of attending Church in biblical perspective

Image
THE BIBLICAL PURPOSES OF ATTENDING CHURCH Attending a church is causing havoc to many lives today, spiritually, physically and martially. But before I share about the problems caused by attending church, let’s share about the biblical purpose of church or attending church. The Book of Hebrews 10:24-25 explain the purpose of church or benefits, blessing and purposes of attending church. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Why do we have church and why must a child of God attend church, here are the reasons: 1, TO STIR UP LOVE IN BELIEVERS. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love” Hebrews 10:24. The first purpose of why God wants us to attend church and fellowship is for love, to stir up love in us towards God and one another. If you, as a ...

State of the dead

Image
Do People go to Heaven when they die? Nearly every funeral sermon that is preached today claims that the “deceased” is now up in heaven. The notion is based on 2,000 years of tradition. But how accurate is that tradition? The word soul is derived from the Hebrew nephesh. Here is how nephesh is defined in the Bible by usage: “self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, heart, body, living being, desire, emotion, passion, the breathing creature, the inner, living being of man (with life in the blood), seat of the appetite, seat of emotions and passions, activity of the will, activity of the character.” These are all synonyms for the biblical concept of soul. None of these uses of nephesh describes a separate, misty, immortal part of man that wafts away at death. It simply expresses “being” in various ways. “Soul” even applies to animals, all flesh-and-blood creatures. In fact, it predates man. Nephesh, or soul, is u...
