Dear Brethren, We Have Forsaken Our First Love

Dear Brethren,

We have forsaken our first love as our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said that in the last days the love of many will wax cold (Matthew 24:12).

◄ Matthew 24:12 ►

"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold"

Our MESSIAH JESUS Christ called us to win souls for the Kingdom of God and make disciples of all nations. But majority of us have forsaken that to compete with the world for real estate and Forbes List  the Richest.  

Where is the Good Samaritan among us? 
Who will rehabilitate the destitute on street?

The following scriptures are enough for us to REPENT and RETURN to our first Love.

Timothy 3:2-4

King James Version

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Matthew 25:35-45 GNBUK

I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.’ “The righteous will then answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these members of my family, you did it for me!’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels! I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink; I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.’ “Then they will answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and would not help you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.’

1 Corinthians 13

King James Version

13 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.

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!
