God, NASA, The Big Bang Theory and Aliens

Re: NASA Has Hired a Priest to Prepare Humans for Aliens

https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/nasa-has-hired-a-priest-to-prepare-humans-for-aliens-4593494.html

The Big Bang Theory does not contradict the Holy Bible before the creation of the earth. Read Genesis 1-3.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.'"

The ignorance of humans is using the calendar of the world to determine the creation of heaven and Earth. But the Holy Bible clearly states that 1, 000 years on Earth is like one day to Almighty God. See ◄ Psalm 90:4 ►

How old was the earth when it was without form and it was void?

Do you understand the sentence "and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."?

Almighty God is the Beginning and the End.
He is the Word that created the world.
The Word became flesh and dwelth among us.

The Holy Bible says heaven and Earth shall pass away. But the Word of God will never pass away.

For those who doubt the existence of God is because they are ignorant of the Word from Genesis 1-3 and clarified in John 1-3.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

If God does not exist, we cannot exist.
To doubt the existence of God is doubt our own existence.
We are the evidence of the existence of God

Last year in His Revelation to me, He said He has known me before Creation.
And said I would not understand.

The existence of God cannot be understood in mortality, because mortality cannot comprehend immortality.

◄ 1 Corinthians 2:14 ►

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I Wish You Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022!

  

We thank Almighty God for protecting and saving our lives in spite of the frightening challenges of 2021. 

We are more than conquerors and triumpant overcomers and victorious champions through our MESSIAH JESUS Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.

Romans 8:37- 39-

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 103

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

² Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
³ Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
⁴ Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
⁵ Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
⁶ The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
⁷ He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
⁹ He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
¹⁰ He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
¹³ Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
¹⁴ For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
¹⁶ For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
¹⁸ To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
¹⁹ The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
²⁰ Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
²¹ Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
²² Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

The Happiest People in the World

Only Almighty God can truly make us happy.

 - Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima

Many people lie about being happy when they actually sleep with tears on their pillows in the night. 

There is no happiness in a 💓 heart with bitterness. 

How can you enjoy watermelons with bitters?

Do you know that the happiest people in the world are not the richest people, but the most grateful people.

Be grateful for every breath of life.

You see how the innocent babies are smiling happily for the joy of life. 

Happy Sunday and Happy New Week

Psalm 33

King James Version

33 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

² Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

³ Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

⁴ For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.

⁵ He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

⁶ By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

⁷ He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹ For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰ The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

¹¹ The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

¹³ The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

¹⁴ From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

¹⁵ He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

¹⁶ There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

¹⁷ An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

²¹ For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

The Poor Are The Largest Givers in Nigerian Churches, But The Most Disregarded

 I once took a homeless young man I met on the street to a nearby church I was attending for us to help him. The ushers frowned at me as I led him into the church. 

During the church service, I knelt down and closed my eyes to pray and by the time I opened my eyes after the prayers, I did not see him by my side again.

I asked the ushers for him and they said he had left.

"Why did you allow him to leave? He was feeling feverish from malaria. You should not have allowed him to leave. We should have cared for him," I said.

They just frowned and did not reply me.

If he had been a rich man, they would have led him to the front row in front of the pulpit to sit down as a VIP for the pastor or bishop to see the Big Fish they have caught in their net.

To the churches in Nigeria, the poor are liabilities with their poverty who cannot give large offerings and cannot pay big tithes. But the rich will give the church large offerings and pay big tithes for the pastors and bishops to buy SUVs and live in mansions and later buy private jets and become realtors of the largest estates in the country; but neglecting the poor who are often abandoned either as homeless destitute or living in  crowded ghettos.  But unknown to these worldly pastors and bishops, the poor majority in the church are actually the largest givers to Almighty God, because He calculates what we give by the percentage of what we have as our Messiah JESUS Christ showed us in the lesson of the Widow's Mite written in Mark 12:41-44:

"41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."

The Churches in Nigeria prefer the large offerings and tithes of the rich without asking for the sources of their riches, whether from human rituals,  stolen money from the public sector or fraudulent practices in the private sector.

Have you ever heard of or seen pastors and bishops picking up homeless destitute and giving them shelter like the Good Samaritan in the Holy Bible?

Majority of the greedy Shylock landlords and landladies and estate agents in Nigeria are among the regular churchgoers and best friends of the pastors and bishops. 

The most corrupt Nigerians are not the pagans, but those who claim to be "Christians"  and "Muslims"  who fellowship and worship in the churches and mosques. But they cannot fool Almighty God. For the Shepherd knows his real sheep and the wolves in sheep clothing. 

Who are the bandits and terrorists on rampage in Nigeria? They are the  underprivileged children of the poor destitute who the administrators of the government, pastors of the churches and Imams a of the mosques cheated, deceived and exploited over the years without good education, without good accommodation and without welfare.

When you maltreat even your dogs, they will one day turn around to bark and bite you 

For Nigeria, the Chickens have come home to roost.

What Pleases Almighty God

Daily Exaltations 😇🙏💋💞

What pleases Almighty God

Is our faithful obedience to His Word.

And not what we do to impress the world.

Almighty God is neither on the side of poor nor the rich, but only on the side of those who obey His commandments. 

You are a Liar if you say you love God, but you disobey His commandments.

Quoting from the holy scriptures is meaningless to God, 

If you don't practice what you preach and teach.

There is no grace of God for those who disregard the obedience to God.

You cannot give what you don't have without the grace of God.

You may fool the whole world,

But you cannot fool God.

Video: The Difference Between JESUS and Muhammad in the Quran

Quran

al-Qurʼān is the central religious text of Islam, believed by Muslims to be a revelation from God (Allah).

It is organized in 114 chapters (surah (سور‎; singular: سورة‎, sūrah)), which consist of verses (āyāt (آيات‎; singular: آية‎, āyah)).

Injil (Arabic: إنجيل‎, romanized: ʾInjīl, alternative spellings: Ingil or Injeel) is the Arabic name for the Gospel of Jesus (Isa). This Injil is described by the Qur'an as one of the four Islamic holy books which was revealed by God.

View the video for the difference between our MESSIAH JESUS Christ and Prophet Muhammad.

What Is The Holy Trinity?

What Is The Holy Trinity?

Firstly, the Holy Trinity of Almighty God is not 1+1+1=3.
It is 1×1×1=1.

Our MESSIAH JESUS Christ is the first to introduce the existence of the Holy Trinity in Matthew 28:19-20:
King James Version

¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
###
Then as it is written in John 1:1-14:
King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.
³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

⁶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

⁷ The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

⁸ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

⁹ That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

###
Then Apostle John revealed in 1 John 5:7:
King James Version
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

The Word is JESUS Christ.
Any religion that does not believe in the Holy Trinity is FAKE.
Finis.

Mortality Cannot Comprehend Im mortality

Mortality cannot comprehend Immortality.

Those who still grope and mope in the darkness.of their world cannot comprehend those walking in the light of God.

How can you understand God when you misunderstand His Word?

How can you know the Manifestations of the Sons of God when you only see things through the eyes of the world?

The heartbeats of liars skip in fear of the truth.

Let us pray.

The Church is not the Building, The Building is not the Church

The Church is not the Building, The Building is not the Church

Building the biggest,  largest or costliest auditorium for your church means nothing to Almighty God if His Holy Spirit is absent from your building. 

As my mother of blessed memory, Mrs. Gladys Unuamaighiuwa Eke repeated again and again that THE HOLY SPIRIT of God does not dwell in the house built by hands; but dwells in the house built in the hearts of the true believers of God.

It is still baffling to me that those who claim to be ministers of God who have repeatedly read the command of our MESSIAH JESUS Christ clearly gave as our mission on earth which is the Great Commission as written in Matthew 28:19-20:

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.": 

Yet they are engaged in childish and foolish bragging rights to who has built the largest church building or auditorium in the world!

They are competing for the Guinness Book of World Records instead of competing for the lost and wandering souls of the confused and ignorant humans our Lord JESUS Christ commanded us to find and guide to redemption and salvation.

I ask them, how much have you spent on evangelism in the mission fields compared to how much you have spent on building your gangantic auditoriums?

How much have you spent on charity compared to your gangantic auditoriums?

What determines the size of your church is not the size of the building, but the numbers of the true believers who fellowship and worship Almighty God in Spirit and in Truth.

John 4:24:

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

John 8:32

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 2

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 2

Last week, in my sermon on "The Scent of the Holy Spirit",  I started from the establishment of the statement that without the communion of the Holy Spirit, you cannot have any relationship with Almighty God. 

I know that for the majority of those who claim to be believers and the unbelievers, talking about the scent of the Holy Spirit may be strange or unheard of, because they don't know of the existence and so don't have the experience.

Yes, the Holy Spirit has a scent and it is not fiction.

Please, let me state it that it is not the  burning of different colours of candles and incences in worship. You can burn all the colours of candles and incences in the world, but you don't have any relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Almighty God has nose and nostrils and they are not for fancy, they are for sniffing and smelling odours and savours in heaven, heavens and on the earth. The scent of the Holy Spirit is the scent of the living Almighty God and the only scent in heaven; the scent of the holiness of God  Almighty God loves good, pleasant and sweet smelling odours and incences as written in Exodus 29:25:

"And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the Lord: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord."

But only in sacred hearts of holy worship of true believers and not in sinful hearts of unholiness of fake believers in whited sepulchres which millions of people have been mistaking for churches of God. Many churches in Nigeria and the rest of the world are whited sepulchres with occultic shrines behind the pulpits and in the closets in the bedrooms of the fake pastors, fake bishops, false prophets and other fake ministers with fake followers.

But as I quoted in the first part of The Scent of the Holy Spirit, it is written 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."

Fake ministers can only deceive fake believers and fake followers. Because, true believers of God have the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the gift  of discernment and the Word of Knowledge to know the truth and discern the falsehood in any cleric and church. You cannot fool a true believer in God.

It is written in 1 John 4:1-5:

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them."

Now, how, where and when does the scent of the Holy Spirit manifest on earth?  It manifests when there is pure and true love of God.  As it is written in 

John 14:23 :

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."

This is final. If you truly love God, you will honour and obey His commandments and He will love you too. My one and only Father and Almighty Father does not have space and time for antagonisms, bitterness, hatred, evil envy, evil jealousy, greed and shenanigans among humans and fake believers and fake ministers. Where there is no true love, there is no God. And He does not accept the prayers, offerings and the tithes of those with antagonisms, bitterness, hatred, evil jealousy, evil envy, greed  and shenanigans. He is my Father and I know Him and He knows me. 

My prayers are for those who don't know Him should humble themselves to obey His commandments and then you will know Him. Without obedience to His commandments, you cannot know God. So, when He sees your obedience more than your sacrifice, He will manifest His holy presence in His infinite glory in your life. And when you pray, sing and worship Him in obedience and repentance of pure and true love , He will embrace you in the awesome beauty of His holiness with the scent of His Holy Spirit as it is written in Revelation 8:4:

"And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand."

SHALOM.

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 1

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 1

The Holy Spirit is the essence of the existence of the Almighty God and it is supreme and infinite in space and time.

You cannot know God without His Holy Spirit. Anyone who claims or says he or she knows God, but does not have the Holy Spirit is a LIAR. 

Many of the so called pastors, bishops and ministers in Nigeria and the rest of the world are FAKE. But tragically, majority of their followers are also FAKE. 

Fake pastors have fake Followers.

Because, our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said as it is written in Matthew 7:16:

" Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

###

Matthew 22:1-14:

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

He Provides A Shelter in the Storm

HALLELUJAH! 

Present residence in Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria since September, 2020. Safe from the floods of the torrential rainfalls in the stormy weather.

Near the University of Lagos and Yaba College of Technology. I thank Almighty God for the hygienic and safe residence, and providing the money for the rent. Yes, it is not cheap, but trust Almighty God JEHOVAH JIREH and  JEHOVAH Ebenezer to provide the money for the payments of the rents weekly and monthly. Since He has seen me through the storms thus far triumphantly and victoriously, He will surely lift me up to higher grounds of greater heights in the mighty name of our MESSIAH JESUS Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. AMEN. I can pray, praise and worship HIM and shout loud HALLELUJAH and nobody has complained that my joyful noise is disturbing him or her.  

Baba modupe o!

HALLELUJAH!

If You Truly Know God, You Will Not Dare To Disobey Him

Ephesians 6:12:

"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."

1 John 4:1-5:
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
² Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
³ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
⁵ They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

###
They claim to know Him,
But they disobey Him.
They lie, because they don't know Him
If only they know Him, they will not dare to disobey His commandments.
If you don't obey His commandments, you don't know Him.
You are  deceiving yourself.

Proverbs 8:17:
" I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."

No Human is Ordinary!

#God

#extraordinary

No Human is Ordinary!
None of us is ordinary, because our Creator is not ordinary.
He is Extraordinary and He made us in His image and after His likeness as it is written in Genesis 1:26:

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

We are Extraordinary beings created by an Extraordinary God.
Therefore, don't settle for less.
Refuse to be ordinary.
Don't let anyone or anything devalue you!
It is rebellion against Almighty God to disregard and downgrade your extraordinary status of the image and likeness of God.
Anyone who looks down at another person as an ordinary fellow is an enemy of God 

Our MESSIAH JESUS Christ confirmed our Extraordinary status  as it is written in Matthew 5:14-16:
"¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

¹⁵ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Then His anointed apostle, Saint Peter said in 1 Peter 2:9:
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"

Refuse to be kept or to be left behind in backwardness and darkness by anyone or anything.
We are extraordinary sons and daughters of our Extraordinary Almighty Father God!
We are the Princes and Princesses of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who reigns in supreme majesty of the Holy Trinity in Eternity.
Manifest the best in the extraordinary image and likeness of Almighty God.

Every Battle Is For Freedom. 💪

Today is very important in American history...in our war for liberty and freedom. Americans have a holy hatred for tyrants, dictatorship and destroyers of the human will. That’s why we willingly confront terrorism... anywhere we find it. But, the True Secret of Life-Power is using Divine weaponry in earthly environments.

Scripture Reference

2 Corinthians 10:4 "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds."

Ignorance Kills

Ignorance Kills

Disobedience to the Word of God begets violence and violence begets destruction.

You cannot know Almighty God and you cannot have any relationship with God if you don't have a relationship with the Holy Spirit of God.
Any religion without the Holy Spirit is false religion. And false religion begets rebellion and rebellion begets destruction.
False religion begets terrorism.
Whereas True religion begets peace. That is why our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said as it is written in Matthew 5:9:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Therefore, cursed are the troublemakers, for they are children of Satan.
Yes, you are cursed if you are against peaceful coexistence of humans on Earth.

Many people are troublemakers by ignorance of the Truth and many people are troublemakers by arrogance in their conceit and deceit which they sooner or later manifest in the true colours of their characters.
Who is fooling who?
Fools who are fooling themselves, but they think they are fooling others.

The tragedy of many clerics and their followers is they don't have the gift of discernment.
They have eyes, but they cannot see beyond their noses.
They have ears, but they are deaf to the Truth and prefer to listen to lies of falsehood.

True believers and those who truly know God, don't look and don't see people and things through the eyes of the world.
They look and see things through the eyes of Almighty God.

The attitudes of True Christians are defined by the words of our Lord JESUS Christ in The Beatitudes as written in Matthew 5.
Finally,  only through the gift of discernment you can know the true sons and true daughters of God

John 1:11-13:

¹¹ He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.

¹² But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams

Description

Thriving stand-up comic and actress Yvonne Orji—best known as Issa Rae's BFF on the HBO series, Insecure—shares the secrets to living the life of your dreams.

Yvonne Orji has never shied away from being unapologetically herself, and that includes being outspoken about her faith. Known for interpreting Biblical stories and metaphors to fit current times, her humorous and accessible approach to faith leaves even non-believers inspired and wanting more. 

The way Yvonne sees it, God is a Sovereign Prankster, punking folks long before Ashton Kutcher made it cool. When she meditates on her own life—complete with unforeseen blessings and unanticipated roadblocks—she realizes it’s one big testimony to how God tricked her into living out her wildest dreams. And she wants us to join in on getting bamboozled. This is not a Self-Help book—it’s a Get Yours book! 

In Bamboozled by Jesus, a frank and fresh advice book, Orji takes readers on a journey through twenty-five life lessons, gleaned from her own experiences and her favorite source of inspiration: the Bible. But this ain’t your mama’s Bible study. Yvonne infuses wit and heart in sharing pointers like why the way up is sometimes down, and how fear is synonymous to food poisoning. Her joyful, confident approach to God will inspire everyone to catapult themselves out of the mundane and into the magnificent. 

With bold authenticity and practical relatability, Orji is exactly the kind of cultural leader we need in these chaotic times. And her journey through being Bamboozled by Jesus paints a powerful picture of what it means to say “yes” to a life you never could’ve imagined—if it wasn’t your own.

Reviews

“Inspiration practically leaps off the pages and into the hearts of readers—the writing is engaging and the comedic timing is absolute gold. Orji is a cheerleader and best friend for every dreamer.”― LaParis Hawkins, Booklist 

“Not only is Yvonne really funny and smart, she brings a fresh new perspective to every story she tells. She is an absolute master, and an original voice that needs to be heard now more than ever. Once you let her in your mind, you’ll never want her to leave.”

― Chris Rock, actor & comedian 

"Yvonne somehow found a way to brilliantly weave her humor, insight, courage, and faith into pages that feel like a weekend retreat hanging with your best, boldest, brightest and most blessed girlfriend. Bamboozled by Jesus is real talk about deep faith put in practice from a woman committed to living a life of vision, purpose, service and success." 

 ― Kerry Washington, actress, producer, & director 

“Whether it’s as an actress, comedian or thought-leader, Yvonne has always given a fresh perspective and authentic storytelling. Bamboozled is a culmination of the characteristics that make her so special: sharp wit, fierce intelligence and an unapologetic sense of self.”

― Rachel Hollis, author & speaker 

"A delightful debut... Orji's boundless enthusiasm will appeal to her fans and newcomers alike."― Publishers Weekly

The Healing of A Man Suffering From Stroke

The Healing of A Man Suffering From Stroke 

Since 2019 I have been seeing the tall man looking ill and unkempt on Alara Street, in Onike walking to Sabo in Yaba on the mainland of Lagos city. He was always dressed in a shirt, black or cream coloured trousers and slippers. They said he had stroke and now walking with a shaking right hand and bent back. He was often talking to himself or thinking aloud.

I left Onike and relocated to Ikotun on the outskirts of Lagos. I returned to Yaba later after four months before Christmas. I saw the man again in the same condition. 

Then in September, 2020 when I moved into a guest house on Aggrey Street in Yaba GRA, I saw him almost every day in the estate and most likely was staying in the estate.

One day I saw him hailing a man riding on a bicycle in the Igbo language. The man brought out money and dropped it for him and rode on without even stopping. He picked up the note of naira and thanked the man. Then later I saw him begging passersby for money to feed.

One day, as I passed by to buy  items from a nearby supermarket ,I saw him beside a car parked under a tree opposite a new pharmacy called SHEBA. He asked me for money and I said I would give him after buying what I needed from the supermarket.

When I came back, I gave him some money and said: "What you really need is not money, but to be healed by God. "

"Yes. My brother is also praying for me," he replied.

Then I prayed to Almighty God to heal him.

Days later, I saw him still in the same condition and begging for money.

"You have been healed," I said, because I received the Word from within me that he was healed. 

I did not give him any money again and kept on repeatedly saying, "He has been healed." 

I received another Word of Knowledge saying, "But his brothers don't want to help him "

He has been healed, but his brothers don't want to help him. What he needed after his healing was his rehabilitation. 

Later, I saw him bending over a car by the sidewalk and he was writing on a piece of white paper with his right hand and it was steady and not shaking. HALLELUJAH! He has been healed indeed!

Later I saw him thinking aloud on the problems in Nigeria in good English!

Depart from Evil, and Do Good; Seek Peace, and Pursue It

HALLELUJAH!

HAPPY SUNDAY AND HAPPY NEW WEEK OF ALL ROUND SUCCESS, TRIUMPH AND VICTORY WITH ALL THE THANKSGIVINGS TO OUR ONE AND ONLY ALMIGHTY CREATOR FATHER GOD IN ETERNAL EXISTENCE. AMEN!

Psalm 34

1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

³ O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

JESUS has Risen!

John 20

1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

The Greatest Power

Pray with request to Almighty God.

Request for what you need.

Don't pray to feed your greed.

You must pray with true love

Love can make a lion become a dove.

Pray and wait upon the Lord

And hold on to His Word.

The greatest power in the world

Is the power of prayer.

There is no greater power

Than the power of Almighty God.

Rebellion Against God

Rebellion against Almighty God comes in different forms, instances and ways.
Rebellion against Almighty God often starts with a lie against the truth.
As our Lord JESUS Christ said as written in John 8:44:
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Almighty God does not answer the prayers of liars until they honesty repent and stop telling lies and causing problems and troubles for others in their conceit, deceit and greed.

You May Fool the Whole World, But You Cannot Fool God

Quoting verses from the Holy Bible is meaningless to God without obeying His commandments 

- Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima

You may fool the whole world with your conceit and deceit, but you cannot fool Almighty God.

God does not answer the prayers of liars.

Lest we forget, ill gotten riches are not from God even if those who have them give thanks to God. He does not accept the thanksgivings from the lips of liars and the wicked until they repent.

Too many fake pastors and false prophets can only deceive and fool those who don't know Almighty God. 

Anyone who does rituals is of the devil and not of God.

Our Messiah JESUS Christ said in John 8:32:

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Rebellious Acts and Witchcraft

 

REBELLIOUS ACTS AND WITCHCRAFT
Every act of rebellion against honesty is witchcraft .
Every form of corruption is witchcraft.
Every lie against the truth is witchcraft.
Sleeping with a married man or married woman is witchcraft.
Greediness is wickedness and wickedness is witchcraft.
We must expose every form of witchcraft, otherwise it will continue to destroy lives.
To find an honest and straight forward person in Nigeria is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Dishonesty is the most preferred lifestyle in the Nigerian society.
Misappropriations of both public and private funds are used for ill gotten riches and bragging rights without conscience and without shame.

JOHN 3:19-21:
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Triumphant Knight of the Children of Light

Riding on my galloping unicorn.

I raise up my double edged sword.

Lifting up my shield in the face of the dragon

It is not by my power, but by His Word

I am going to cross the Rubicon

In obedience to the Great Commission of our Lord.

In the dawn of the manifestation of the Sons of God.

We gaze at the triumphant angels in the galaxy of Aurora Borealis

Dragon slayers and torch bearers, we transverse the universe

We ride on marching forward waving our banners high

We blow our golden celestial beagles for Judgement Day is nigh.

Talk About What You Love 💬 💕💕💕

Talk About What You Love💬 💕💕💕

Enthusiasm breeds excitement. Enthusiasm is the only climate the Seeds of Success will grow in. If you want others to get involved in your dreams and goals you must exude an aura of excitement. Your energy will attract others to your dream. Thought and talk magnify anything. Reactions to your enthusiasm purges relationships. Reactions to your enthusiasm should decide who receives the Gift of Access to you.
Scripture Reference

Proverbs 18:21:
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." 

You Cannot Know God If You Don't Know the Word of God

You cannot know God

If you don't know the Word of God.

You cannot and don't have any relationship with God if you disregard and don't obey His Word.

If you disregard and don't obey the Word of God, He does not have any relationship with you.

You can deceive the whole world by your conceit and deceit of falsehood, BUT YOU CANNOT DECEIVE GOD.

And this is the TRUTH.

Only this Truth can save you from the wrath of the earth.

No conventional and unconventional wisdom or theology can change this FACT.

If you accept it, good for you. 

But if you don't accept and reject it, may God help you.

God shall bless only those who bless.

God shall be merciful only on the merciful.

There is a reason for every season.

For as we plant so shall we reap the harvest.

God is not an emotional being 

So, human emotions don't move God.

Only human compassions in pure and true love move God.

We can only communicate and relate with God in His Spirit and His Truth.

Not in lies of eye service and lip service.

Humans prefer to live in pretence 

But God prefers those who choose to live in obedience to His commandments.

Our alms, offerings and tithes are useless to God without obedience to His commandments.

We cannot bribe God.

For in obedience to His commandments is true benevolence of love and peace.

For disobedience begets rebellion and rebellion begets destruction.

Can we count how many lives have been destroyed and wasted by disobedience to the Truth?

From the Garden of Eden to this day.

And yet humans continue to perish every day in disobedience, in sinful arrogance and wilful ignorance.

Only fools want to impress and please the world, but displease God.

Whose approval do you need?

The approval of the world or the approval of God?

There is no grace of God without repentance.

For in repentance we shall receive the abundance of the infinite grace of Almighty God.
