Happy New Month of September!

 

The Word of God is the Greatest Power in the World

◄ Psalm 68:11 ►

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

Many people perish every day in the world
Because of their ignorance of the Word of God.

(since 2005)

I obeyed the Word of God in 1988 when I had all the money to tour the world after working as a public health illustrator for the Johns Hopkins University's Population Communication Services (JHU/PCS) to produce fully illustrated family planning methods booklets in Pidgin English, Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa distributed by the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN)) for the entire Nigeria. I was 21 and I have signed a recording contract for the production of my songs in Hollywood with all the looks and guts to be a rock star with my starry eyes, brown skin and bushy hair and walking tall. I have already written and directed my first play, "The Prodigal" for the Education Unit of National Museum on Lagos Island and profiled in the Times International news magazine interviewed by Henry Atenaga, a friend of Ben Okri when I was only 17. At 21 featured in the highly esteemed West Africa newsmagazine for my popular Captain Santana and his flying motorcycle comics. I became a national Program Consultant for the UNICEF in Nigeria at 25. Then in 1988 I became born again from the Roman Catholic Church to the Deeper Christian Life Ministry of Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi who had sown the seed of evangelism into my life in 1978 when I spent my long school holidays attending his school holidays classes.
From 1988 I preached the good news of the gospel of our MESSIAH JESUS Christ on the streets and on public transport buses in Lagos in English, Igbo and Yoruba for over 11 years. From the street I moved on to the internet I started my online ministry, The Rhema Blog in 2005.
The Rhema Blog is very popular among visitors from over 12 countries in the world.
I share the Word of God with testimonies of the Truth.

The greatest power is the Word of God.
And the greatest power comes from the prayer in the Word of God.
I see the world through the Eyes of God.

Fake Ministers of God Teaching False Doctrines on the Holy Spirit and Speaking in Tongues

Fake Ministers of God Teaching False Doctrines on the Holy Spirit and Speaking in Tongues

No one can speak in the tongues of the Holy Spirit without the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

You cannot speak in the tongues of the Holy Spirit if the Holy Spirit has not given you the utterrance. 

Any GO, Pastor, Reverend, Bishop and Apostle who commands, says and tells you to just start speaking in tongues without firstly having the baptism of the Holy Spirit and without the Holy Spirit giving you the utterrance to speak is lying and  misleading you.

Again, don't forget it is written in 1 Corinthians 14:

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."

DON'T BE MISLED BY FALSE DOCTRINES OF DECEIVERS CLAIMING TO BE MINISTERS OF GOD.

Read the entire 1 Corinthians 14 after reading the following again:

Acts 2: 1-11:

1 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.

When the Living Water of Life Asks for Water

When the Living Water of Life Asks for Water

Do you know that majority of Christian ministers, including the GOs, Bishops, apostles, pastors and reverends have not asked the Holy Spirit to teach them why our Lord JESUS Christ asked the Samaritan woman for water. And in fact, many of them are actually like the Samaritan woman whenever they meet anyone and the person asks for water. 

Many of them have failed to learn from the Chapter 10:

"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."

John 4:5-15

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Study 1 John 5 vs 7-8

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one

You cannot understand the Word of God without the Holy Spirit.
And you cannot understand God if you don't understand the Word of God.
- By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima

Which is Worse? Intellectual Ignorance or Spiritual Ignorance?

 

Which is worse?
Intellectual Ignorance or Spiritual Ignorance?

There is an epidemic of both intellectual ignorance and spiritual ignorance in Nigeria.

The widespread decline of reading culture among the majority of Nigerians in Nigeria shows daily in the poor intellectual comprehension of current affairs of societal ethics and politics in the country.
Majority of Nigerians are intellectual illiterates who cannot express themselves in English grammar. Many of the political leaders, including the leading presidential candidates in the 2023 presidential election could not express themselves explicitly in English and had challenges in articulation.

There is also widespread spiritual ignorance among majority of Nigerians, because of their religious hypocrisy.
Majority of Nigerians claiming to be "Christians" are just mere churchgoers without any relationship with God.
Because I have repeatedly said that without any relationship with the Holy Spirit you cannot have a relationship with God.

Going to church does not make you a Christian.
Obeying the commandments of God is what makes you a true Christian.
Without obedience, there is no relationship with God.

Quoting the verses from the Holy Bible and preaching is useless to God without obedience to God.

You cannot claim to be a Christian and you are ruled by conceit and deceit.
You cannot claim to be a Christian and you are ruled by avarice, caprice, malice and prejudice.
By envy and jealousy.
By greediness and wickedness.
Then you live in denial of the truth.

Read 2 Timothy 3:

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

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;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

HALLELUJAH! He Has Risen!

Matthew 28

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

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.

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S 2023 EASTER MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S 2023 EASTER MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS

I join Christians in Nigeria and around the world to celebrate Easter, which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, signposting his victory over death.

At the heart of Easter, is the triumph of light over darkness.

It is a season that reminds us that the Almighty can turn an unpleasant situation round for good.

Recognising that Easter is about renewed hope and a glorious future, I urge all Nigerians to continue to be confident and believe strongly in our country for better seasons ahead.

As a nation, we have gone through an election that has produced the next set of leaders at the federal and State levels.

I commend Nigerians for believing in the process. While I congratulate those that have been elected, I acknowledge that it is the right of those who feel dissatisfied with the outcome to seek redress. I expect them to wait patiently and allow our legal system run its course.

It has been a rare privilege for me to serve as your President since you gave me the first mandate in 2015 and renewed it in 2019.

Day after day, I have been guided by the vows I took to keep Nigeria united, prosperous and secure.

Our successes on security, economy, infrastructure, new oil frontier basins, landmark legal reforms as well as food sufficiency, among others, were possible because of the support of Nigerians.

As we celebrate this season with our families, neighbors and communities, let us do so in love, compassion, kindness, resilience and forgiveness.

Happy Easter!

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Judgement Belongs To Almighty God

◄ Job 22:29 ►

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

(New King James Version)

What matters most are not the comments and opinions of the enemies of your progress, but your faith in Almighty God who will not judge you by what people say, because before Him all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

They called  him ThiefTinubu and
Druggie, but even among his accusers are unrepentant adulterers, fornicators, hypocrites, liars, greedy and wicked people who pay lip service and eye service in their false religion.
Who among them is holier, let him stand naked before Almighty God and ask for justice.

Psalm 130:3-4 

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.

(King James Version (KJV)

Those who see people through the eyes of the world
Will never know and will never see God.

Come, humble yourself and sit
And let us learn at the feet of the Holy Spirit.
For He is the revealer of every secret.

What's own story?

Everyone has a story,
But not everyone will make history.

Author of "The Prophet Lied", "In the House of Dogs" and other books.

The Power of the Gift of Discernment

Fake Christians Can Only Be Fooled By Fake Pastors, Fake Bishops and False Prophets

Without the Gift of Discernment, majority of the so called men and women of God, the Papas and Mamas and Daddies and Mommies have failed to see through fake ministers and fake Christians.
They have mistaken mere churchgoers for Christians.

I don't know how Papa and Mama will give a standing ovation to a visitor who has come to the dome for political campaign and later returns to his whited sepulchre to kneel and bow down to graven images and statues in a shrine.

Did our Lord not warn us that even the Antichrist comes in the form of an Angel of Light?

Our Lord, Redeemer, Saviour and MESSIAH JESUS Christ clearly showed how to separate the sheep from the goats.
By their fruits you shall know them.
Actions speak louder than words.
Not name dropping God, quoting verses and HALLELUJAH in lip service and eye service.

The lifestyles of conceit and deceit will only expose your buffoonery.

Let me repeat again: WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU CANNOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

It is not by mere going to church.
Being emotional is not being spiritual.

The Holy Spirit is Real.
The Holy Spirit is God.

You may fool the whole world
But you cannot fool Almighty God.

Hosea 4:6 NKJV

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

NKJV: New King James Version

HALLELUJAH! Happy Birthday Daddy Adeboye!

Only the Pure in Heart will See God

Good morning.

Arise and shine.

Psalm 103 verse 5 has been written and as I have spoken the verse it is fulfilled in my life.

For He renews my youth like the Eagle's.

Only the pure in 💓 heart see God.

The impure in heart will never see God.

- Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.

If you like go to church one million times;

Sing along in chorus with the choir in your eye service and lip service!

Buy gifts for your pastor and bishop and church of whited sepulchre of your conceit and deceit; 

You are a mere church goer and not a true Christian.

What makes a true Christian?

You must believe in God and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth; and you must adhere to what is written in 1 Corinthians 13.

Finis.

I am Who I am by the grace of Almighty God. 

Celebrate Those Who Celebrate You

 

Celebrate Those Who Celebrate You

    Those who discern your worth deserve special recognition. Even Jesus instructed His disciples to respect those who received them and disconnect from those who rejected them. Go where your contribution is celebrated. Jesus did.

Scripture Reference

Matthew 10:11-13 :

"And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you."

Do Christians and Churches Obey 1 Corinthians 13?

Do Christians and Churches Obey 1 Corinthians 13?

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.

Psalm 33

1
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.
²² Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

They Shall Call His Name Emmanuel, God with Us

HALLELUJAH!

MATTHEW 1:21- 25:

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

HALLELUJAH! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 HALLELUJAH!!!

I wish you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023 with all the thanksgivings to Almighty God for giving us the reason for the season of the annual celebration of His heavenly gift of His only begotten and beloved Son in whom He is well pleased, JESUS Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.

AMEN!

Be safe!

The Prophet Lied

 The prophet lied when he said he was the last prophet.

For true prophets are chosen by God and not by men.
That is why our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said many are called, but few are chosen.
- Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima,
Author of "The Prophet Lied" and other books distributed by Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other booksellers.

According to the revelation of he who is the Lord God Almighty, “many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14). The testimony of Jesus is “the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10). Therefore, no matter what anyone thinks, relatively few Christians are going to end up in heaven.14 Oct 2017.

Matthew 22:35-46:

³⁵ Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁶ Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

³⁹ And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

⁴⁰ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

⁴¹ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

⁴² Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.

⁴³ He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴⁴ The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

⁴⁵ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁴⁶ And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

God Cannot Be Deceived

 God cannot be deceived.

Do not be deceived and misled by your fake pastors, bishops and GOs.
Until you see people through the eyes of God and not through the eyes of the world, you will never know or see God.
You are a fake Christian, fake Muslim or fake believer if you don't see people through the eyes of God.

The Beatitudes of JESUS Christ

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

A Letter To My Pastor

Dear Pastor Kachifo,

I am not fasting, I am starving. And I am not the only one.

How can we fast when we don't have any food to eat? 

There is no food to break the fast.

Please, give us food to eat first, then we can fast.

Faithfully in Christ Jesus,

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

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.
