What Caused the #EndSARS Protests To Become Violent


Do you know what caused the initial peaceful #EndSARS protests to become violent?

DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD

Disobedience begets violence and violence begets destruction.

Defiance of the #EndSARS protesters to end their protests after the Federal Government agreed to their cardinal demands is disobedience to the commandments of Almighty God.

It was wrong for the RCCG, MFM and other churches to add fuel to the fire by joining to increase the supplies of food and water to the protesters to continue the protests.

The best advice the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and other Christian leaders should have given them was "End the Protests since the government has agreed to your cardinal demands."

The implementations cannot be done overnight.

Our Lord JESUS Christ said in Matthew 5:9:

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."

Simple commonsense and obedience would have prevented the breakdown of law and order; stopped the hoodlums and other fringe elements from disrupting and hijacking the #EndSARS protests and there would not have been the chaos on the streets with arson, attacks and looting and there would not have been the horrifying killings of police officers, soldiers and the Lekki Toll Gate killings of the peaceful protesters who were singing the national anthem and waving the Nigerian flag of our beloved country, Nigeria. 

Whoever sent the soldiers to shoot to kill the young Nigerian patriots is not of God, but of Satan. As our Messiah JESUS Christ said in 

John 10:10:

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness."


THE SOLUTION AND THE WAY FORWARD

There must be national repentance by everyone in Nigeria; and ask for the mercy and forgiveness of the Almighty God. 

Only the obedience to my advice will prevent and stop another national catastrophe that would be worse than the horrors of last week.

Finis.

May Almighty God help us all to be obedient to His commandments.

AMEN.

You Shall Know Their True Characters By Their Attitudes


HUMANS ARE DEFINED BY THEIR CHARACTERS AND NOT BY THEIR APPEARANCES AND MERE SPEECHES
 

Anybody can quote verses from the Holy Bible Even Satan quoted from the Holy Bible Anybody can quote inspirational and motivational sayings. Even criminals, fraudsters and gangsters are good motivational speakers. But Almighty God has never judged people by their appearances and sugarcoated words, because it is written in 1 Samuel 16:7: "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart." As our Lord JESUS Christ said in Matthew 7:16-20: 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. " 2 Timothy 3:5: Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!" BEWARE OF THE CONCEIT AND DECEIT OF FELLOW HUMANS FOR MANY ARE WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHING.

How To Receive and Welcome the Holy Spirit

 


Without the Holy Spirit you cannot have a relationship with God, our one and only Almighty God JEHOVAH.


Our Lord, Redeemer, Saviour and Messiah JESUS Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever said as it is written in John 14 of the Holy Bible:

John 14:

King James Version

"14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 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.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

PRAY Our Lord's Prayer on your knees or lying down in total submission to Almighty God.  And confess all your sings, evils and wrongdoings to Him; ask for forgiveness and His mercies and His Holy Spirit to help you to repent and not to sin or do any evil again.

Then sing solemnly There is power in the blood: in the blood,

There is power in the blood;

There is power in the blood of JESUS Christ.

(Repeat 7 times)

Then sing:

The blood of JESUS;

The blood of JESUS Christ set me free from sin and sorrow.

(Repeat 7 times)

Declare: Oh! My Lord JESUS Christ, you said in Matthew 26:28: 

"This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."


THEN recite solemnly:

Acts 2

King James Version

2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:"


NOW pray solemnly to thank Almighty God and welcome His Holy Spirit in the mighty name of JESUS Christ. And the Holy Spirit will give you utterance to speak in tongues of declarations, exaltations and revelations of Almighty God JEHOVAH. 

Be warned, once you receive the Holy Spirit, you must bless everything that is good and curse everything that is is evil. Because it is written in Job 22:28-NOW

King James Version

"28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands."


BE WARNED: Do not speak in tongues if the Holy Spirit does not give you utterance.

Again, you must not boast, brag or threaten anyone with the power of the Holy Spirit.
