He is alive; You are Alive

Image
The enemy thought and planned to kill you. But you are alive and you will not die but live to fulfil your purpose in life. Though you walked through the valley of death, you will not die but live to come through to see the light of the day. Thou you are currently passing through various types of abuse, trials, temptations, failures, losses, sicknesses and every type of daunting situations of life. I want to assure you that irrespective of how unfavourable the situations look like right now, the Lord who created you, did not create you for that purpose. He did not create you to die in that situation. He created you for victory, success and fruitfulness. That situation could have come about as result of circumstances beyond your control; it could have been caused by you; it could have been as a result of your decisions in the past or present. The Lord Jesus said Matthew 11:28 without any condition attached that " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I wi

Dr. Paul Enenche said... "In our church, people rarely introduce me. I just carry my Bible and walk to the altar. What is the introduction for? I would not even allow them to carry my Bible. If they carry my Bible, will they carry my mouth? Will they carry my message? "I remember going to a church to preach sometime ago and someone stood on the altar to speak. He wanted to introduce the host pastor who would, in turn, introduce me. He said, "I want to tell you about someone; someone that has changed my life..." As he began to say more things, I thought he was talking about God. Frankly speaking, the way he spoke about the man, I thought it was God He was talking about. But when he finished, he said, "Can we receive my papa, my daddy in the Lord..." I sank in my chair. I said in my heart, 'People are talking about you like this and you accept it?' "That was what Herod did and God sent an angel to slap him. He was consumed by worms on the

8 Ways to Beat Temptation

Image
We all face temptations of many kinds. God wants us to beat them. We don’t have to sin, as powerful as temptations feel. Here are 8 ways to gain the victory. 1.  Pray before you are tempted Jesus instructed his disciples to ask God, “Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil.” And as he told us to pray, “Give us THIS DAY” our daily bread,” it’s good to ask God to deliver us from temptation and evil THIS DAY. 2. Flee. A good run is better than a bad fall. Stay as far away from sin as you can. Don’t think you won’t fall. If you hired someone to transport your most valuable possessions, you wouldn’t tell them to see how close to the edge of a cliff they could drive. In Proverbs 7 a “young man lacking sense” wanders near the house of an woman at twilight, and just “happens” to run into her. She’s dressed sensually. She says her husband’s gone and describes her perfumed bed. Eventually he follows her like an ox going to slaughter. Eve got into trouble by engaging with

Power in the Blood

Image
The blood still speaks - ask Cain in Genesis 4:10. The blood cannot be silenced. There is nothing that cannot be cleaned by the blood of Jesus. The blood still cries or for mercy, reception, forgiveness, etc.   I was dead but now is alive for evermore - Rev 1:18. The blood brought your problems to nut  (nothing). The blood has cancelled your sin, your deficiency . Let the blood speaks for your mercy. Let the blood vindicate you. The blood has cancelled all negativity in you.   The enemies tremble before the blood - Rev 12:11 Plead the blood over all your concern, strongholds, bondages, etc. Make the Jesus the Lord of your life today. Ask God to come into your life today and cleanse you with the blood. Ask God to turn you around now for Him in Jesus name.

Keys To Fulfilling Your Potential

Image
  Has God made promises to you? Have you been told of potentials you have? Do you have dreams, desires, visions and aspirations you want to fulfil in your life? However, you are facing numerous challenges to these dreams, desires, visions and aspirations. Time is going and you seem to be nowhere near them. The promises God made to you seem unrealisable. Mark 10:46-52 tells us the story of a man named Bartimaeus, in a similar situation. Bartimaeus had desires and hopes in life but these looked totally impossible in the light of physical limitation beyond his control. He was blind. But when he attempted to escape his limitations and launch out, other challenges surfaced. He was shouted down (possible destiny truncators). Who are you where others are speaking You are a nobody. You lack the pedigree. You are not qualified. You are disadvantaged; and so on. What were his reactions? Take note that in life, it is your reactions to events and circumstances that determine the power o

God Never Stopped Loving You

Image
How have you been living? Do you hate how you are living? Are you satisfied or happy or you are really not fulfilled with the way your life seems to be heading? Are you successful in your career or business but knows or feels that there is a void somewhere? A man once lamented on his sick bed of his loneliness because of the way he had lived his life and thought he was beyond redemption. How wrong he was? I also knew of a lady that was hiding alcoholic wine in her bag just to enjoy the best of both world. How wrong she was, yet... The Lord said in Isaiah 66:2B - "“The people I value are not proud. They are sorry for the wrong things they have done. They have great respect for what I say." That is, irrespective of our past or present actions or inactions, of our sin or mistakes, of our history, the Lord has never once stopped loving us. Never once. It is the lack of following three things that has prevented us from taking corrective actions: Pride - This exist in nu

Are you my brother?

Image
Years ago in the Philippines, I heard a story of a man who parked his car in his office complex in downtown Manila. There was a street boy nearby and to pick up some money, the boy asked if he could watch (guard) the man’s car while he was in the office.  Several hours later, when the man came back to get his nice Mercedes, he paid the boy some loose change and, as he was getting in his car, the little street boy said, “Mister, you sure have a nice car.”  The man was quite surprised that this boy had even spoken to him and said, “Well, thank you.” Then the little boy said, “Where did you get your car? Did somebody give it to you?” The man replied, “Well yes, somebody did gave it to me.  My brother gave it to me.” As he continued to get in the car, he expected the boy to say something like, “Oh, I wish I had a brother who would give me a nice car.” Instead, he heard the little boy say, “Your brother gave it to you? I wish I could be a brother like that. The man was so amazed at

God - The Consuming Fire

Image
God called Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons - Exo 24:1 - " Now He said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu...", but in Lev 10:1-2 - "Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD ", God killed them for offering strange and abominable fire before the LORD (Num 3:4). As priest or servant of the Lord, Num 3:3-4 we are to be above aboard. Because God has used us for a miracle or because of past achievements, we should never be so familiar or too familiar to take Him or His instructions for granted. Taking His instructions or His ordinance with levity or for granted is akin to offering strange fire before God, which is tantamount to offending or grieving the Holy Spirit. Jesus said sin against the Holy Spirit will not b

A guy once told me, sir, you don't know what I have done in the past, how I have failed my family and God many times over. Well, there is one thing that the Lord knows before you. I can safely guess that you're not as old as 2,000 years. And if that is so, the Lord already provided for your forgiveness as it is stated in Romans 5:8 that while you were yet lost, while you were yet a sinner, Jesus died for you, for me, for every living human, born and yet unborn. His love knows no bound. It is also written that He knew us all while we were yet in our mother's womb and He ordained us for Himself. Brother and sister, the Lord already, through His love, made a way of escape for us all from destruction and from bondage to sin, sickness, failure, through His love, mercy and grace (Roman 11:30).

Is Your Past Holding You Down?

Image
I was at a relative's event some years back and witnessed the preparation of a barbecue meat from slaughtering. It certainly took a couple of hours. How long do you think it will take Abraham and Sarah to prepare the animal for their guest that suddenly came to them (Gen 18:1-8)? This visit was sudden to them. They were not prepared for the visit at all. So, they had to prepare a calf and cakes for the visitors. This preparation certainly took at least an hour of running here and there leaving the visitors alone. Abraham was probably dropping in on the visitors intermittently to assure them of his coming with the meal soon. The Lord waited for this long very patiently and when the meal was served, ate then blessed Abraham and Sarah. How long do you think you have been unprepared for God's calling on you? How long do think you've been away from God? How long do you think you've stayed away and making God angry at you and most likely will not forgive you?

I was too good to know I was not good

Image
I was a well brought kid. Never smoked, never drank, never had a girlfriend, never outspoken, never disobedient, never unruly, studious, etc. If I continue, you will think this is certainly untrue.  In fact, there are people better than me, yet, this is very true. On the other side of the coin, there are those that are exactly the opposite of what I just painted above in every way. Drugs, sexual adventurism, in and out of jail severally, alcoholism, disobedient etc. I was so good and even so humble and righteous that I never looked down on those that have missed the way.  Above all, I knew certainly, that I was going to heaven. One day, while at work, a girl asked, are you sure you're going to heaven? Of course I said yes.  However, I started asking myself if I was sure or not. Through out my life and until then, I was just too good to know I wasn't good at all. That, it is not at all your goodness or the extent of your goodness. Neither is it your badness or the
