The Amnesia of Ingratitude: Between A Christ Embassy Brother and An RCCG Brother in Lagos


The Amnesia of Ingratitude: Between A Christ Embassy Brother and An RCCG Brother in Lagos

A member of the Christ Embassy was homeless in Lagos and no fellow member of his church could help him. But his girlfriend was able to appeal to a gracious brother of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) with a cyber cafe and allowed the Christ Embassy brother to be sleeping there until he could get a better accommodation.
He stayed there until one day without notice he left and never returned to thank the RCCG brother. His girlfriend also appealed to the RCCG brother to help her meet anyone who would assist and boost her ambition to be an actress and model. The RCCG brother introduced her to another member of the RCCG well known in Nollywood as a popular film writer and Publisher/Editor of the international NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series. The God sent gracious man did his best for her and introduced her to the biggest filmmakers in Nollywood.. Even though she was not tall which is the standard for his criteria, he made her a national celebrity within three years and she received hundreds of thousands of naira from him to support her through the university and motivate her to succeed. But like her boyfriend she did not return to show gratitude to the RCCG brother.

Giving Tuesday Message from 1 Corinthians 13 KJV


And the Greatest is Charity

1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

~ 1 Corinthians 13 KJV

Let Us Stop Hypocritical Stupidity


Let Us Stop Hypocritical Stupidity

The worst problem affecting sustainable human development in Nigeria is not political corruption, but lack of education or lack of intellectual comprehension of our existential realities. And lest we forget, lack of education does not mean not going to formal school. Because you can have a degree and still be uneducated which is very common in Nigeria. Like I illustrated once that I have seen better parenting among sheep than among many Nigerian parents.

Poor rational thought is what makes someone to act irrationally and be corrupt in human conduct and be an idiot. I see many idiots from the street to the internet, even those I call corporate idiots, especially among the multitudes who claim to be "Christian", but their thinking and behaviour are contrary to their claim. Following the Beatitudes as preached and practiced by our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ is more than enough for us to breathe and create a better and greater human community. But only the educated can do so.

The uneducated remain intellectually immature and insecure.

It is hypocritical stupidity to be name dropping God and saying " Click Like" or "Type Amen" when you don't practice the TRUTH and telling lies has become a normal lifestyle.

Lest we forget, what Jesus Chris said: in Matthew 7:16 "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"
Anything contrary is falsehood.
Let us stop hypocritical stupidity.

Almighty God is Our Everlasting Light


Almighty God is our everlasting light
That shines brightest even in the darkest night.
Almighty God is the light of the world
That never goes out
The sun that does not set
Oh, Lord! Make my life shine for the whole world to see
The beautiful and wonderful things you are doing for me
And give you all the glory
For I shall tell them my story
And the whole world will know my testimony.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!

What Will Be Your Legacy in the End?


What will be your legacy in the end?
The legacy of grace or the legacy of disgrace?

What have you contributed to the human race?
A life of falsehood or a life of honesty?
Anyone who lives in fear of the Truth is the most insecure human on earth.

The wealthiest nations on earth are not the countries building skyscrapers and towers kissing the clouds, but those building lives of beauty, dignity, integrity and nobility.

America and the UK are not among the wealthiest nations on earth.
A survey recently revealed that 69 percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. And more than 48 million Americans are living in poverty.

The lives we have failed to build yesterday have become the antisocial psychos and sickos who are the criminals and terrorists destroying lives and properties today.
The millions of underprivileged children we failed to educate a decade ago later became the poor fathers and mothers of majority of the street urchins and criminals attacking and robbing people in our towns and cities.

Is it not stupid to leave your children in the care of housemaids you fail to send to school?
And you tell the illiterate housemaids to bathe and feed your children.
If you fail to educate your housemaid, how can she communicate with your children?
No wonder you are raising children with unusual behavior.

A middle class family in Lagos moved into their new duplex on the outskirts of Lagos city. But their mansion was in the midst of a ghetto with poverty stricken families who breed kids they cannot feed. The middle class family lived behind their iron gates and high walls and never interacted with the poor families around them.  But one fateful day, their mansion was on fire caused by an electrical fault in the night. They could not put out the fire and were screaming for help. But the poor people around their house were reluctant to respond, because they never communicated with them before. Their mansion was destroyed by the fire with their cars and other properties and they were lucky to escape from the fire. They became homeless and ended up in a tenement house in the ghetto. That was the first time they interacted closely with their poor neighbors.

A person without any social responsibility has no worthy legacy.

"Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire".
~Matthew 7:19, Holy Bible.

If You Don't keep the Commandments of Jesus Christ, You Are Not a Christian


Spiritual ignorance kills.
The same terrible mistake that the people of Jesus Christ made by their ignorance of him as The Messiah majority of so called Christians are still making today. And I ask: are they really Christians or just church goers?
Do they read the Holy Bible well or they read it upside down?
To make understanding our Lord Jesus Christ easier, study Matthew 5, 7 and 25.

Don't Play Church in Conceit and Deceit


Don't Play Church in Conceit and Deceit 

Don't play "Church" to give the impression of being a "Christian", yet you don't practice Christianity.

Going to church is not Christianity.
Obeying the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ is the true Christianity.

If you have bitterness out of envy, jealousy, greed and hatred without repentance you are not a Christian.
If you tell evil lies against anyone, you are not a Christian.
If you refuse to pay your debts to someone, you are not a Christian.
If you are cheating someone, you are not a Christian.
If you are disrespecting someone, you are not a Christian.
If you are disrespectful, unfaithful and ungrateful, you are not a Christian.
If you are maltreating someone, you are not a Christian.
If you continue to be a drunkard, you are not a Christian.
If you continue to sin in rebellion against God, you are not a Christian.
If you have stolen and taken what is not yours, you are not a Christian.
If you are plotting and working against the progress and success of someone, you are not a Christian.

A true Christian is honest and transparent.
A true Christian obeys the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Anything contrary to this is falsehood.

Matthew 15:8 "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me..

Majority of Nigerian Pastors Don't Understand the Holy Scriptures

Majority of Nigerian Pastors Don't Understand the Holy Scriptures

If you know the sacred scriptures of the Holy Bible very well and the life of our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ, you can see that majority of Nigerians claiming and professing that they are Christian pastors and ministers don't understand the scriptures. And that is why their congregants and followers go to church, but behave like pagans.

The Holy Bible clearly identified them in the following chapters.

2 Timothy 3:5:
"Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."

Hosea 4:6:
"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.'

True Christianity is transparent.
You cannot be dishonest in conceit and deceit and still claim to be a Christian.
You are not a Christian.
You are a fraud.

You cannot claim and profess to be a Christian pastor or minister and still be an apologist for liars, crooks and rogues in government and private business.

Which scriptures are you practicing?
What our Lord Jesus Christ said is clear.
" If you love me, keep my commandments."~ John 14:15.
Therefore, you don't, you are not of Christ.
There is nothing more to say, because that's what Jesus Christ said.
And the Holy Bible is clear. So, don't be deceived.
2 Timothy 3:5
"Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people".

If You Had One Hour With Solomon.


If You Had One Hour With Solomon...

Do You Really Know What You Want In Life?
What goal presently excites and energizes you? When you are alone and away from everyone else, what do you dream of becoming, doing, possessing? When people hear your name spoken, what do they automatically think of? What legacy do you want to pass on to others?

Few People Really Know What They Want. They do not realize that their dream is either born within them or borrowed from someone else. I have talked to so many people who admitted that their present pursuit was simply something their mother or father desired for them... something others expected of them...the result of a convenient opportunity that never became their own personal vision. How disappointing that most people never pursue their own inner passion. But that person does not have to be you.

Your Dream Is Closer Than You Can Imagine. Your dream is completely obtainable. Recognize it. Embrace it. Pursue it. This is your season to do something significant with your life.

If You Don't Know What You Really Want, Who Are You Going To Ask?

If You Don't Know Where You Belong, You Will Adapt To Where You Are.
King Solomon Was The Richest Man Who Ever Lived. He knew what he wanted. He was passionate about his Dream.
  ► Passionate people become powerful people.
  ► Passionate people create excitement and enthusiasm.
► Passionate people generate waves of favor that naturally attract access and promotion.

Solomon Had A Passion To Create Something Unique And Incredible For God. He did not consult a committee. He did not ask his family for permission. He did not conduct a poll to seek the opinion of others. He reached into his own heart. He looked at the photograph of his own Dream. He expanded his personal vision beyond the limits of what anyone else said he could do. He boldly announced his dream...a dream too big to contain...a dream that consumed his time...his Mind...his conversation...every waking hour of his day. The Clearer Your Goals, The Greater Your Faith.

Solomon Was A Master In Achievements. Few men in history equal his magnificent works.
Your Dream Is Closer Than It Has Ever Been In Your Lifetime.

The Golden Keys of Success are within your reach. You do not need a lot of keys to enter a bank vault...just the right key. Little keys often unlock huge treasures. Your life can change. Your success can be multiplied. Stay focused on these Success Secrets. Think and meditate about your Palace of Greatness...The Place you have always dreamed of being. It is where you belong.

I Met Mark Zuckerberg On Wednesday and Received A Cheque from America Yesterday



I Met Mark Zuckerberg On Wednesday and Received A Cheque from America Yesterday


HALLELUJAH!
Wow!
It was not in my New Year resolutions for 2016 and not even in my wildest dreams, but Almighty God JEHOVAH made it happen.
On Wednesday afternoon on August 31, 2016, I met Mark Zuckerberg, the famous Co-founder and CEO of Facebook during his first ever trip to sub-Saharan Africa and he chose Lagos, our Lagos megacity as his first touch with Nigeria.
He came to Afrinolly Space in Oregun, in Ikeja on the mainland of Lagos, Africa’s largest megacity and the commercial hub of the continent.
Mark and his Facebook team wanted to see the digital hub of Nollywood, Nigeria’s phenomenal film industry.

I was sitting in the office of Mr. Chike Maduegbuna, the CEO of Afrinolly with Mr. Abayomi Adeloye, the Zonal Manager of Ikeja 1 branch of Wema Bank Plc and Arthur, a young European man from Air France who said he accompanied the celebrated Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan to the event. As we were talking, Mark Zuckerberg, the famous Co-founder and CEO of Facebook walked in and greeted us with smiles. We stood up to welcome him and we shook hands.
He was dressed simply in a T-Shirt, trousers and shoes. You can pass Mark for an ebullient White teenager on the street without giving him a second look. Without even any hint that he is the multi-billionaire CEO of Facebook and the 5th richest person in the world with US$53.7 billion as of August 2016. And according to Wikipedia Facebook became the fastest company in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to reach a market cap of $250 billion. Facebook has more than 1.65 billion monthly active users as of March 31, 2016.

Afrinolly received Facebook's Augmented Reality (AR) 360-degree camera with Head Mounted Display (HMD) goggles which Nollywood diva, Rita Dominic and others saw how to use it in their future film productions, because the future of Nollywood will be powered by the digital ecosystem.
AR can let us see beyond the one-ten trillionth of the electromagnetic spectrum our eyes can register.
See one of the videos on Instagram here and I will show more on my Screen Naija YouTube channel.

Then yesterday, on the first of September, I received my first cheque from LULU Inc of the United States of America for books!
I just went on my knees this morning and lifted up the cheque to give thanksgiving to Almighty God JEHOVAH, because it is written in Psalm 118 of the Holy Bible.

1. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

23. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

In spite of the global recession affecting Jesus, Almighty God JEHOVAH still gave me the vision and provision to make my first documentary feature "Lagos in Motion: Sights and Sounds of Africa's Largest Megacity" and Amazon Books published the book version in paperback and Amazon Kindle tablet worldwide. And I have received offers for the worldwide distribution of the film for VOD, AVOD and SVOD.
https://www.amazon.com/LAGOS-MOTION-Africas-Largest-Megacity/dp/1536934925



Join me to rejoice and praise the one and only true Almighty God JEHOVAH who alone gives a bumper harvest in the midst of drought and brings a food basket in the desert and makes a way where there was no way.
HALLELUJAH.
May His awesome infinite power of the abundance of His infinite Grace continue to flow in the life of every believer in the land of the living in the Almighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Saviour and Messiah. Amen.

We Must Stop Fooling Ourselves Pretending To Be Christians


If the life of Jesus Christ does not reflect on our own lifestyles, then we are only fooling ourselves, because we cannot fool God.

I see multitudes of churchgoers, but not many of them are Christians.
We may fool the whole world, but we cannot fool Almighty God.
Why should we continue to live in conceit and deceit?
That is why there are more fake pastors than real ones and more false prophets than true ones.
And there are many wolves in sheep clothing in the midst of the flock. 

Fools pretending to be Christians, but are full of scams and whims of avarice, caprice, malice and prejudice in the world.

Our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ clearly showed us the truth as written in the books of Matthew and John I have quoted below.

True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Judging Others
1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Seek, Knock
7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
True and False Disciples
21 “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 who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Matthew 7
Jesus Reinstates Peter

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

You Are Destined for Greatness


Study Champions.
David was a champion. Samuel was a champion.
They walked the path of obedience. Learn from their mistakes, their successes, their lives. Losers build their lives around their weaknesses.
Champions build their lives around their strengths. You are destined for greatness, too.
Talk it. Believe it. Live it.
Champions simply use the Master Key of Obedience.

"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens," (Hebrews 11:32-34).

Majority of Nigerian Muslims Are Religious, But Not Spiritual


Majority of Nigerian Muslims are religious devotees of Islam, but lacking spiritual relationship with God.
They are even clueless about the Holy Spirit.
They simply follow dictation and recitation without any independent relationship with God.
They follow the rote learning system and have the same herd mentality. And majority of them are fatalistic and unrealistic.

They became Muslims by dictation and not by ratiocination.
Their relationship with God has no depth.
That is why the most ignorant and uninformed majority can be easily manipulated and misled.

The very brilliant daughter of an Islamic leader and lecturer at one of the leading universities in Nigeria asked her father many questions on how they can simply be religious without being spiritual. She said her IQ could not accept such irrational resolution. So, she stopped following their Islamic religion and then challenged Almighty God. She asked God to reveal Himself and how to connect with Him or she would become an atheist. Believe it or not, God answered her and told her that she should follow a group of her fellow students on campus when they would be going for their evening fellowship. And that was how she became a Christian. Her very strict Muslim father allowed her without dispute, because he knew she would not lie to him and he couldn't fault her logical choice.

There is a big difference between being religious and being spiritual.
Religion is empty without the spiritual connection with God. And the Holy Spirit is not a myth. It is the Truth. The spiritual essence of our existence.

Jesus Christ is the Only Way To Salvation


No matter how many times other religions lie in falsehood, our Lord, Saviour and Messiah, Jesus Christ is the only answer for the salvation of everyone. Anything contrary is a lie.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

You Cannot Have A Relationship With God Without the Holy Spirit

Photo Credit: KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING LIFE.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Billions of people on earth are devotees of different religions claiming directions to our creator and saviour God; of which the majority are the Christians and Muslims, followed by Hindus and Buddhists. And even pagans too claim to communicate with our Almighty maker and owner. But ironically, contrary to their claims, majority of them don't know God and have no real or true relationship with God. They are just assuming and pretending. And their assumption often leaves them in confusion and despair. Because, they easily lose faith and hope in God when they face difficulties. Because, they don't have any relationship with Him.

The only way to have a real and true relationship with God is through His Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, you cannot have a relationship with God. Because, it is only through His spirit that you can communicate and relate with Him.

Any faith or religion that does not believe in the revelation and realization of the Holy Spirit is FALSEHOOD.
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
~ John 14:17
How do you communicate with the Holy Spirit?
You must BELIEVE in the existence and then ask for the revelation and He will manifest through the Word of God as our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ said in John 14 of the Holy Bible.
A believer without the Holy Spirit is an empty vessel like an egg without yolk.
Without the Holy Spirit you are defenceless and powerless against temptations, sins and sicknesses. You are defenceless and powerless against demonic oppression and possession.

You cannot fight and resist evils and evil doers without the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will communicate with you, relate with you and unite you with Almighty God to manifest His presence in your life in TRUTH, 24/7.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me..
~ John 14:6New International Version (NIV)

I am a Pakistani girl from a Muslim family. My father is a direct descendant of Muhammad’s daughter of Fatima. I was paralyzed at 6 months old.
Trips to London and Mecca

At the age of 14, my father took me to London to see a specialist. Yet, it failed. Then my dad took me to Mecca, believing that God would heal me there.

Once there, we walked around the Kaaba (Qs 5:97). I kissed the Black Stone (Al-Hajr al-Aswad), which is located at the Kaaba. I prayed, “Heal me, please.” Yet, nothing happened. Sadly, we walked out to a place where the prophet Ibrahim prayed (Qs 2:125). I prayed for the same healing. Still, nothing happened. Having done all of the ceremonies, we went home with nothing.

The Bitterness of Death

Two years later, my father died. I was overwhelmed with sadness. One day, I was crying out in my prayer, “I don’t want to live! You've taken away my father. Why?”
Kitab-06

Suddenly, a soft voice came. “I will take care of you. Who healed the blind and the sick? Who raised the dead? I am Isa, the son of Maryam. Read about me in the Quran!”

The next day, I read Surah Maryam in an Urdu Quran. I read everything about Isa Al-Masih. One verse I found said that Isa performed miracles. “When God said, ‘Jesus, son of Mary...by My will, you made a sculpture of a bird out of clay, blew into it, and it turned into a real bird by My Will...by My will, you healed the deaf, the lepers, and raised the dead...’” (Qs 5:110).

I began praying to Isa. The more I prayed, the closer I felt to HIm. No other prophet could give life, heal the sick, and raise the dead.

A Visit from Isa Al-Masih

One night, I was praying and crying out louder than ever before. Suddenly, my room was filled with a bright light. There were 12 people standing in a line. The 13th one was bigger and brighter than the others.

“I am Isa, the son of Maryam. Stand up and come to me!” He said.

I felt strength flowing into my feet and hands. I saw a hole in his hand. He proclaimed, “I am Isa, Immanuel (Injil, Matthew 1:23). I am the way and the life (Injil, John 14:6). I am alive and will come soon (Injil, Acts 1:19-12). From now on, you must testify to my people. I will be with you wherever you go.”
Receiving Salvation

After being healed, I found the straight way to God. Isa said, “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture” (Injil, John 10:9). Anyone must go through Isa if they want to come to God.

Jesus clearly said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Who Is Jesus Christ?




Who Is Jesus Christ? 

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" He asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."1

Almost 2,000 years ago when Caesar Augustus was ruling the vast Roman Empire, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem in very humble circumstances. Until he was 30 he was virtually unknown.

However, during a brief three-year public ministry, His impact was such that it changed the world—including the change of our calendar from B.C. to A.D.

H.G. Wells, the famous historian, once said about Christ: "I am not a believer. But I must confess, as an historian, this penniless creature from Galilee is irresistibly the center of history."

No other person ever made the stupendous claims that Jesus did. He claimed to be the Son of God, the promised Jewish Messiah, and the only way to God for all mankind. He claimed to have power to forgive sins and to give people eternal life. Above all, He claimed to be God, saying, "I and the Father [God] are one."2

Socrates once said, "Oh, that someone would arise, man or God, to show us God." Four hundred years later Christ came and claimed to be that person.

But was Jesus Christ the Son of God? If not, He would have been the greatest impostor who ever lived!

Lew Wallace, a distinguished general and literary genius, and Robert Ingersoll, a notable skeptic, agreed to write a book that would prove Christianity to be a myth. After two years of research, however, in some of the leading libraries of Europe and America in preparation for writing this book, Mr. Wallace had a transformation of attitude. He was only up to the second chapter when he fell to his knees and prayed, "My Lord and my God."

After studying the evidence, Wallace became convinced of the deity of Jesus Christ. He then wrote Ben Hur, one of the greatest novels ever written about the times of Christ. Later, Robert Ingersoll had this to say: "In using my speeches, do not use any assault I may have made on Christ, which I foolishly made in my early life." A similar thing happened to one of today's leading Christian authors and spokesmen, Josh McDowell. His outstanding book that supports Christianity, Evidence That Demands a Verdict, began as his attempt to deny Christianity.

As another has said, "You can speak of Jesus as prophet, holy man, teacher, or spiritual leader, and few will object. But speak of Him as Son of God, divine, of the same nature as [God] the Father, and people will line up to express their disapproval. A billion Muslims will say: "Prophet, yes. God, no!" Jews scattered around the world will say: "Teacher, yes. Messiah, no!" Some liberal Protestants and religionists of various stripes will say: "Exemplary man, yes. Divine, no!"

But as Jesus said to His disciples He also says to you and me, "Who do you say that I am?"

One's answer to that question will help determine his or her eternal destiny and that of every person alive today.

"From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."1

Jesus Christ is not the only religious leader who claimed to be God, but He is the only one who ever convinced a great portion of the world that He is. He is also the only leader who ever claimed that He would rise from death.2 According to historical evidence, He did. He was seen by the women who visited His tomb and found it empty, by the disciples, and by more than 500 other witnesses.3

Further evidence to support the deity of Christ is seen in the more than 300 prophecies concerning Him and His life that are found in the Bible and were written centuries before His birth.

For instance, 700 years before Christ was born in Bethlehem, Micah wrote, "But you, Bethlehem ... though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel."4

A thousand years before Christ's death, David predicted how He would die. "They have pierced My hands and My feet," he wrote.5 This happened at Christ's crucifixion. This is even more remarkable when considering that in David's time, death by crucifixion was unknown. This inhuman, torturous death was first used by the Persians centuries later.

David also predicted that Christ would be betrayed by a friend, that people would "throw dice" for His clothes, and that He would die with criminals.6 He also predicted the dying Savior's cry: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?"7 All of these predictions came true.

Six hundred years prior to Christ's coming, Daniel predicted when it would be. One hundred years later Zechariah told how Christ would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey; how He would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver; and how this money would be used to buy a potter's field.8

All these predictions about Christ and many more—written hundreds of years before His coming—were fulfilled in detail, giving evidence to show that Jesus Christ was indeed God's promised Messiah—the Savior of the world.

When Jesus came, He asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."9

This is the crucial question that each of us needs to answer. If Christ is who He claims to be, then our response to this question will determine our relationship to God for all eternity.

Jesus Himself said, "He who is not with Me is against Me."10 That is, unless we act on our belief and make a commitment to follow Christ in our everyday life, we are automatically against Him.

However, if you do believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and have never committed your life to Him, you can do so through a simple prayer of faith. Tell Christ that you believe He is the Son of God who died for your sins, and that you would like to become one of His true followers starting today.

Suggested prayer for those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior: "Dear God, thank You for revealing Yourself in the heavens and all of nature; in Your Word, the Bible; and especially in and through Jesus Christ—the Son of the Living God-my Lord, My God, and my Savior. Help me always to live so my life will be a living example of Christ living in me. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

The Four Evil Things People Do for Their Love of Money




The four evil things people do for their love of money are the following:
  1. Telling lies to others
  2. Cheating others
  3. Stealing from others and 
  4. Killing others.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

You Cannot Be A True Christian If You Don't Understand God

It is better not to be a Christian than to be one who does not understand God.
You cannot be a true Christian without the Holy Spirit.

Jesus the Way to the Father

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

~ John 14New International Version (NIV)

Why There Are Too Many Powerless Pastors in Nigeria


There are too many powerless pastors in Nigeria, because the majority of them are actually fake. That is why the faith of many is waxing cold and they don't receive answers to their prayers. (see Matthew 24:12 ).

Our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ warned us of these wolves in sheep clothing in Matthew 7:5. So, if you know your Holy Bible, you cannot be deceived and fooled by these fake pastors who in many cases are ritual cultists and spiritualists using occultism for spiritualism to do their so called "miracles" to lure and trap ignorant and gullible people who don't have the Holy Spirit. Because, if you have the Holy Spirit you will have the gift of discernment to discern and test all spirits.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
~ 1 John 4:1King James Version (KJV)
But in spite of all these clearly written and repeated warnings by Jesus Christ Himself, the fake pastors, ministers and bishops have succeeded in fooling and misleading millions of ignorant and gullible Nigerians who are too lazy to read the Holy Bible and who prefer lies to the truth, because true words of God expose their own hypocrisy too. So, they prefer pastors who will not admonish them for their unchristian lifestyles of conceit and deceit. So, fake pastors are deceiving the congregations who are also deceiving themselves by their fake Christianity.
They have become what I call "garbage in, garbage out" churches.

The Holy Bible is explicit on how to know fake pastors and preachers.
2 Timothy 3, New International Version (NIV)

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy
10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
~https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy+3
Fake pastors and ministers often shy away from preaching and practicing the commandments of Jesus Christ by avoiding God's emphasis on CHARITY which is the greatest calling of true Christianity. They skip preaching and practicing 1 Corinthians 13, which clearly addressed how best to believe, obey and worship God.
You are wasting your time and money going to church, fasting, praying and worshiping God without Charity.
For where there is true love, there will no crime and there will be no evil.
That is why Jesus Christ said:
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
~ Matthew 7: 12. New International Version (NIV)
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
~ 1 Corinthians 13New International Version (NIV)
That is why our Lord, Saviour and Messiah said to Simon Peter in the following verse that majority of Nigerian pastors, ministers and bishops don't like preaching and practicing today.

Jesus Reinstates Peter
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

Your Greatest Prophecy is in Your Mouth


Your greatest prophecy is in your mouth if you have faith in God.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
~ From 1 Corinthians 13

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,.... Of witnesses, according to the testimony they bear; of judges, according to the sentence they pass; of teachers, according to the doctrine they preach; of all men, who, by their well or ill speaking, bring death or life to themselves and others. Some, by their tongues, by the too free use of them, or falsehood they utter, are the cause of death to themselves and others; and some, by their silence, or by their prudent speech and prevalent intercession, secure or obtain life for themselves and others; yea, judgment at the last day will proceed according to a man's words, "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned", Matthew 12:37; the tongue is the instrument either of a great deal of good, or of a great deal of evil;
◄ Proverbs 18:21 ►

For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
◄ Matthew 12:37 ►
Almighty God has given us the power to choose.
The size of our faith is the size of our strength.
