Why People Remember the Stories of Jesus More than His Sermons

“By now, everybody knows me to be a storyteller. Our Daddy in heaven, Jesus, was the best storyteller you can ever find. I have discovered that some people remember the stories more than the sermons,” the author quotes Pastor Adeboye has explaining of his trademark style of exhorting people when he preaches.

“I tell you these stories because when you hear those in the Bible and hear those happening right now, you appreciate them better,” he explains at a different forum while on another occasion, he notes that: “When these stories or testimonies come to some people, they sometimes mean much more than even the sermon.”

Stories of miracles indeed enhance faith-building and what Daniels has done in this engrossing work of 350 pages and six sections is to painstakingly compile the testimonies of Daddy GO, the spiritual leader and chief missioner of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), and present them chronologically, right from his birth to the present (February 2017), to read like an autobiography.

Given the magnitude of Pastor Adeboye’s task and the near impossibility of getting him to sit down for interviews for a real biography, the author’s approach is ingenious. And not only is it creative, it works because Pastor Adeboye narrates the testimonies in his measured, calm voice that reassures.

Testimonial Evangelism: Seeing is Believing

Testimonial Evangelism

What is testimonial evangelism?
It is the preaching of the gospel by facts of the evidence or proof of the experience of the presence of Almighty God JEHOVAH in your life.

John 4:48 "Unless you people see signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."

If you have no testimonials of the Holy Spirit, you cannot convince unbelievers.
As our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ said: Seeing is Believing.

You must show by example what Almighty God has done for you.

Your lifestyle must show your true essence of Christianity in character and faith no matter the challenges, difficulties, temptations and trials of foreseen and unforeseen circumstances of life.

I was a refugee child during one of the bloodiest uncivil wars in Africa.
My beloved mother had lost three of her six children and I was very ill. Neighbours told her that I would not survive. She was totally heart broken, but she did not give up her faith in Almighty God. She continued to cry and pray to Him. They thought I would die, but then the Holy Spirit came upon me and I started speaking in tongues. And I was healed. Almighty God JEHOVAH saved my life. That is why I can share this awesome testimony of His amazing grace and shout "HALLELUJAH!" today.

What's your own evidence of His existence and presence from your personal experience or an eye witness account?

Solemnity in Divinity as Pastor Adeboye Celebrates 75Th Birthday

Adeboye@75: silence on a loud day

~ by Bisi Daniels

It was Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s birthday and the 31st anniversary of the monthly Holy Ghost Service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God on March 2. The service is always heavily attended, a part reason for a 3-kilometre-by-3-kilometre auditorium called The Arena. But people who had taken a cue from the 75-hour non-stop praise of the Lord to expect fanfare and cake-cutting during the week arrived the Arena to the usual service, the birthday having been celebrated privately. Pastor Adeboye is not known to put himself in God’s way or share in God’s glory or time. In fact, preachers at the service on March 2, were youths from four zones of the church.

This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am Well Pleased; Hear Ye Him

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead."
(Matthew 17:1–9, KJV)

Many Churches in Nigeria Need To Clean Up Their Dirty Environment

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace--as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.

I see many churches in Nigeria in urgent need of general sanitation of the dirty and stinking surroundings of their church buildings with heaps of refuse decorating the streets of the church.

Dirty churches should clean up their nearby streets and clear the gutters full of refuse and human waste. The dirty and filthy environment of a church is a bad testimony of the church and church goers.

Lest we forget, our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ was so clean whilst on earth over 2000 years ago that his Roman executioners cast lots to win His precious garment during His crucifixion.

Our Almighty God JEHOVAH loves orderliness and does not compromise His holiness. So, any form of disorderliness, dirtiness and filthiness is not of God.
Being dirty and filthy is a bad testimony for Christianity.

I Will Revive the One With A Broken Spirit and A Contrite Heart

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.


Isaiah 57: 15-21.
King James Version (KJV

You Cannot Know God Until He Reveals Himself To You

Anybody can claim to know God.
But You cannot know God until HE has revealed HIMSELF to you. And HE cannot reveal HIMSELF to you without HIS Holy Spirit. So, without His Holy Spirit you can never know God.
Anyone who knows HIM does not live a life of conceit and deceit.
God hates lies for He said Satan is the father of lies.
So, whosoever tells lies is not of God.
Because, our Lord Jesus Christ said:
"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."
- John 8:44.

The chief demon is known by several names: Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, Old Nick, Beelzebub, the Tempter, the Father of Lies, the Evil One, and the ancient Dragon. And those who belong to him behave like him. Deceivers, liars, pretenders, ingrates, troublemakers, evil doers and others like them who are legions among humans.

If you truly know God, you will not live a life of lies.
And without God your life is empty even if you are Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or President Donald Trump.

How Magnificent You Are, O Lord!

How Magnificent You Are, O Lord!

How magnificent you are to me
How magnificent for my eyes to see
To see the wonders of your creations
Your magnificent creations beyond human imaginations
To behold the beauty of your holiness
And to behold the glory of your righteousness.

Refrain: How magnificent you are, O Lord!

You are highly exalted throughout the ages
And we praise you in our different languages
Praising your holy name from nation to nation
As we rejoice in the joy of salvation
Because we are the redeemed of the Lord
And we have become the children of Almighty God.

Jesus Christ Does Not Like Empty Life Without Worthy Legacy

Jesus Christ Does Not Like Empty Life Without Worthy Legacy

The contradiction in the lives of majority of Nigerian church goers who claim to be Christians is that their lifestyles are contrary to the commandments of Jesus Christ and they don't even follow His teachings. And that's why they have empty lives.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said:

Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Luke 11:33 "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
NOW LOOK AT YOUR LIFE

Does your life have any saltiness (worthiness) to your society or you are just living for yourself?

Is your life shining in the world?
Do you shine for others to see your good works?
Or you don't even have any good work to show at all?

Lest we forget, your works are your achievements and your achievements are your legacy.

Achieve New Things in 2017!

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
~ Isaiah 43:19, Holy Bible.

One thing most people don't know about Almighty God JEHOVAH is the awesome fact that He loves doing new things on earth! New creations. New things in restoration and new things in transformation.

God has never failed to grant me the grace to achieve new things in my life and use me to achieve new things in the lives of others such that totally unknown people become known once they meet me. That's the anointing of my calling.

Since 1997 after that night vigil in the Trinity Tabernacle Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) when our Pastor, Afolayan prophesied the coming of the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize mass communication and transform the ways of life in the world, we have been witnessing unprecedented things. Yahoo launched in that same 1997 and followed by Google in 1998 when I started a new job as a counselor in the Redemption Light, official magazine of RCCG in the office of our General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye. Then I joined the Editor, Mrs. Josephine Dirionyemma and her husband, Mr. Vitalis Dirionyemma as a Production Manager when they started their "Money Wise" on DBN TV in 1998. Then in 2000, I registered my first company, King of Kings Books International. New things happened every year. It is either I produce a new play or publish a new book or blog. In 2013, two new things happened! The launching of my Screen Outdoor Open Air Cinema (SOOAC) with the first edition of the popular NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series and I brought "Girl Rising" to celebrate the first United Nations' International Day of the Girl in Nigeria In 2014, the second edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series came out; I launched Transform Nigeria Network on Facebook and Twitter sponsored by the Transformation Group of former President Goodluck Jonathan and I started the Girls United Together for Success (GUTS) project. In 2015, I published "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream" and I cosponsored the Nigerian premiere of "He Named Me Malala" documentary film of the brave Pakistani school girl, Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Prize winner. Then last year 2016, more new things were achieved. The film production of my "Lagos in Motion" documentary with the publication of the photo album which Amazon released for worldwide distribution and I started my Screen Naija YouTube channel. And as I welcome the New Year with thanksgiving to Almighty God JEHOVAH, He has already shown me that He will do more new things in my life in the abundance of His infinite Grace. And I don't want you to be left out of the awesome goodness from the Throne of Grace of God. Therefore, be ready to achieve new things in 2017 from grace to grace.

Cheers for our outstanding success and victory!

Happy New Year 2017! Arise, Shine! Be Victorious!

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you."
~ Isaiah 60:1, Holy Bible.

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.

HALLELUJAH! Thank You Lord!

I thank Almighty God JEHOVAH for all the blessings, favours, provisions and miracles of the abundance of His infinite grace in my life, family and my company, International Digital Post Network Limited in 2016.

Thank you to all the fantastic companies and great people who patronized and supported us in 2016.

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".

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.
