Email from God

Email from God

Two days ago, I replied the email I received from my one and only Father. Almighty God JEHOVAH. That was not His first email to me. He called me "Beloved Michael". He once called me " Beautiful Michael ".
Yes. Believe it or not, God sends me emails. Through one of His beloved sons, He sent to me in accordance with His promise as it is written in Romans 8:19:
"The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God."

All Liars Belong To The Devil

All Liars Belong To The Devil

Every evil starts with a lie.
As was the case from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden when Satan in the disguise of the forked tongue serpent lied to Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
Interestingly, I have also observed that all liars actually behave like snakes, possessed by the serpentine spirit.
They are fake, pretentious and venomous.

The worst are the fake #pastors, fake #bishops, fake prophets and other fake ministers. Majority of the pastors in Nigeria are fake; especially those in the south east, south west and south-south regions. They are fake. Anyone claiming to be of God and does rituals indoors or outdoors is FAKE and an agent of the devil.
JESUS Christ is the last and final sacrifice for our redemption and salvation. Any other sacrifice of all sorts is FAKE, evil and of the devil.
By their fruits you shall know them.
What they hide to do in secret behind the pulpit or on their evil altars; waterside, T-junctions; forests, rivers; hills and valleys are rituals of their satanic cults of satanic covenants.
Don't be deceived and fooled by their disguises and camouflage of "Christian" labels, names and slogans.
Including the so called Alfas among Muslims in the Islamic religion.

Think of What JESUS Would Do First

Dear GOs, Bishops, Pastors, Reverend Fathers, Reverend Sisters, Apostles, Ministers, Workers and my fellow brothers and sisters who claim, confess and profess to be Christians, don't let us deceive ourselves, because we may deceive the whole world, but we cannot deceive Almighty God, who alone is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent from the north to the south and from the east to the west.

Oh God! Save Our Children!

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY
To all our children on earth!

Every child is my child.

I have already blessed and handed them over to our Almighty Father God JEHOVAH for divine protection.

Matthew 19:14:
"Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Matthew 18:6:
"If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

When Your Prayer is an Abomination To Almighty God

Backbiting is an abomination to Almighty God.
Lying and bearing false witness is an abomination to Almighty God.
Claiming and stealing what does not belong to you is an abomination to Almighty God.
Ingratitude and doing bad to those who have done you good is an abomination to Almighty God.
Killing and shedding innocent blood is an abomination to Almighty God.
The prayer of anyone who does any of these evils is an abomination to Almighty God.
For God is angry with the wicked everyday.
Psalm 7:11:" God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day."

Repent before it is too late.

Psalm 15

1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Beware of Disorderliness and Filthiness

Is it normal for anyone to leave dirty dishes for five days?
Is it normal to leave chores and be watching TV for hours?

Littering the environment with rubbish and other dirty habits and all forms of filthiness are abnormal behaviour.

Is it not a sign of mental illness?
Disorderliness.
Depression.
Rebellion.

It is an evidence of moral and spiritual decadence.

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."

Disorganization or Disorderliness

Are you an orderly person? Do you leave things lying around in your house, in your yard, in your car, or at your workplace? What does your office or kitchen look like? Would people consider you messy, sloppy, cluttered, undisciplined, unsystematic, and disorganized? How do you conduct your life and what do you promote in your family?

We all know the meaning of this particular point. To organize means “to put together into an orderly, functional, structured whole. . . . to arrange in a coherent form; systematize. . . . to arrange in a desired pattern or structure.”[1] It can mean “to put (oneself) in a state of mental competence to perform a task.”[2]

Eye Service and Lip Service "Christians" Are Fooling Themselves

#GOD
#JESUS
#HOLYSPIRIT

Too much eye service and lip service "Christians", name dropping God and quoting verses of the Holy Bible in conceit and deceit, but their hearts are full of the darkness of bitterness, hatred, lies and wickedness.

May I repeat again, that if you don't obey the commandments of God, you are not of God, but of the devil who does evil.

Our Lord, Saviour and Messiah
JESUS Christ said in Matthew 15:8: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

Success Is A Process

Dr. Mike Murdock and Bishop David Oyedepo.

Success Is A Process

The first step toward success is deciding what you really want to achieve in your life. When you decide exactly what you want, the how to do it will emerge. When Your Heart Decides The Destination, Your Mind Will Design The Map To Reach It.

Jesus perceived His destiny. Jesus knew where He wanted to go. Jesus knew the people who needed Him...what they needed and how to reach them. Jesus understood the dominant Divine product of every immediate Moment. Champions always reach for the best in life…and refuse to settle for less. Champions stand out from the crowd…and will not accept mediocrity. Champions Are Willing To Walk Away From Something They Desire To Protect Something Else They Love.

The Secret Behind MFM Fire Prayers and Why You Must Start Praying Them

The Secret Behind MFM Fire Prayers and Why You Must Start Praying Them

But from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force –

The Violent take it by force: I must succeed.

No Christian can afford to be a gentleman, for the spirit realm is a battle ground between powers of light and darkness. The Bible recognizes the Devil as the ruler of the kingdom of the air, and also that the whole world lies in his wickedness- 1 John 5 vs. 19.

Those Who Sow in Dollars Shall Reap in Dollars

Those Who Sow in Dollars Shall Reap in Dollars
How I started giving and sowing in US dollars.

I wanted to give an offering in dollar almost two decades ago. So, I bought US$1 and gave it as an offering at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Trinity Tabernacle Parish, Adekunle Fajuyi Way, Ikeja GRA, Lagos.
Our Pastor, Adelana announced that he saw dollar in the offering bag. But I never told the church I was the one who gave the dollar.
Later I sowed US$58 into the ministry of Dr. Mike Murdock. So, the first US$1 offering multiplied for me to afford to sow US$58.
Then Almighty God JEHOVAH gave me my domiciliary account in dollars in 2008 with @GTBank and and also a prepaid Visa card with @Zenith Bank.
I was now doing several transactions in dollars and paid the book designers of my books from 2006 -2015 in dollars, because they are one American in the USA and my best, Juvelin Aripal in the Philippines; paying them a lot in dollars for designing "Scarlet Tears of London", NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series and "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream", all printed in the USA.
Then in 2016, I had to get a @Payoneer credit card in dollar which I have to pay annual fees for.
But after the production of my "Lagos in Motion" documentary film and the photo book distributed by @Amazon and Barnes & Noble, many Nigerians were provoked by evil envy and jealousy and I stopped getting regular jobs for my social media outlets. I became very broke that I had to appeal for the financial assistance of close friends and associates. But I thank Almighty God for the difficult times, because, the true colours of my so called "friends" showed up. Whoops!
The most ungrateful ones manifested. And some of these ingrates are on #Facebook and #Instagram, pretending to be what they are not to ignorant people.

For the birthday of my Daddy in Christ, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adekoye, I decided to give him the only valid credit card I have as a birthday present. I gave it at the March Holy Ghost Congress at the Redemption Camp.
Then our Almighty Father God JEHOVAH NISSI unlocked a mighty door for me last month, using two Muslims, I have never met before.
HALLELUJAH!

If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments

If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments
John 14:15

If you claim to be a "Christian", but your lifestyle does not reflect that our Lord JESUS Christ is in you, you are a deceiver and fooling yourself.
If you believe in God, and fear God, it will show in how you behave.
If it does not show, you are a deceiver and fooling yourself.

If you claim to believe and love JESUS Christ, but you don't keep His commandments, you are a deceiver and fooling yourself.
If you don't witness and bear fruits for the Kingdom of God, you are useless and worthless to God.
If you are neither hot or cold, you are useless to God and He said, He will spit you out of His mouth since you are double faced and worthless.

Speaking in Tongues is Not By Force

SPEAKING IN TONGUES
Lest we deceive ourselves. Speaking in tongues does not make you holier than others.
Only those baptised in the Holy Spirit can speak in tongues.

You cannot tell all the congregants in church to start speaking in tongues automatically like robots when they have not been baptised by the Holy Spirit.
Speaking in tongues is not by force.

1 Corinthians 14

14 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

God, Abraham, President Buhari and the Rest of Us in Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.
The most presidential model in Africa on the red carpet in the UK.

Platoon Commander at 21.

Combatant Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion and appointed brigade major, Second Sector, First Infantry Division, April 1967 to July 1970.

Governor of the Northeastern State at 33.
Governor of Borno State at 34.
Federal Commissioner of Petroleum and Natural Resources at 34

Military Head of State of Nigeria at 41.

A great man with great faith who became the democratically elected President of Nigeria at 73 after failing three times in previous presidential elections.
He never gave up hope until he got to the top at old age when majority of other old men give up on their life ambitions.

Many of the ignoramuses who insult President Buhari are those we call NFA (No Future Ambition) and others we call BP (Borrow Pose) who have no outstanding achievements and no legacies beside breeding innocent children in poverty they cannot raise well and increasing the liabilities of Nigeria.

God Forbid!

GOD FORBID!

Grace is not a licence to sin.
Be not deceived by false doctrine of lying pastors, fake preachers and false prophets.
For God cannot be mocked, as it is written in Galatians 6:7:

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Romans 6:1-2

6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"


IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE FOOLING YOURSELF, YOU ARE WORSE THAN UNBELIEVERS.

Revelation 3:16:

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Forever Worthy is the Lamb Sitting Upon the Throne!

Revelation 5:13:

"Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"

Worthy is the Lamb of God
Worthy is the lamb, That was slain
To receive glory, And honor and praise
Worthy is the lamb, That was slain
To receive glory, And honor and praise

Chorus:
Unto the Lamb, Who sits upon the throne
To him be glory, And honor  and power, Forever and ever
Unto the Lamb, Who sits upon the throne
To him be glory, And honor  and power, Forever and ever
Amen.

Vamp (4x):
The angels bow down, In adoration, We join them now, As we lift our voice
We cry worthy, Worthy is the lamb

Coda:
Worthy is the lamb, Worthy is the lamb, Worthy is the lamb, Worthy is the lamb
Amen.

This is my FATHER!



This is my FATHER!

If you see Me in My tremendous majesty, My amazing beauty, My eternal greatness...

If you see My wisdom displayed through the ages and in creation, if you see My love expressed in all mankind where I heal brokenhearted and save them from the pit of darkness, and restore their lives...

If you see My love, My greatness, My beauty and wisdom...

SEE IT!

And then know...

THIS IS MY FATHER!

Yes, I am your Father.

I am Your Father and I created you to know Me, in all My beauty.

I have created you to know Me in all My majesty and goodness.

So please, My beautiful child...

Don't hold back from Me.

Don't hold your heart or worship back from Me.

I want to show you My overwhelming love, in ways you never thought possible.

So worship Me.

So give yourself to Me.

So surrender everything you are in deep and full adoration to Me.

If you begin to see Me with the eyes of your heart, and if you begin to feel My presence while you worship, your eyes will be opened more and more, to behold Me.

I want you to know how beautiful I am.

Because then you will come alive, as never before.


More of you!

I see you my child, with eyes full of love and compassion.

And I say: COME.

More. More. More of you.

More of your heart.

More of your surrender.

More of your worship.

More of your sins.

Surrender it all to Me.

I forgive you, when you come to Me and lay it all down before Me, and simply worship Me.

I cleanse you, I restore you, I fill you again.

And you will see Me as I am.

So My beautiful one....

I have a plan for your life.

See Me in My beauty.

And surrender all you are and all you have, and worship me with everything that's inside of you.

Then the burdens of life will fall away.

Then the strains of life will break off.

You will be free, in My presence.

Free to fly and to live a new life.

I love you.

- Jesus Christ.

His Grace Has Kept Me - Mike Bamiloye

“HIS GRACE HAS KEPT ME” – My Testimony
~ By Mike Bamiloye

1 Samuel 2:6-8 KJV:

6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.

I am a solid testimony of Grace. Everything about me is about the authenticity of Grace. It was Grace of God that brought me thus far. And it is His Grace that will take me all the way to where He is taking me.

Do You Really Know How Much God Loves Us?

It is a terrible thing not to realise how much God loves you. And majority of the people in the world, including the religious multitudes claiming to be "Christians" and "Muslims" don't realise how much Almighty God loves us. Because if they do, they will obey His commandments.
They will not cheat.
They will not lie.
They will not bear false witness against anyone.
They will not do any injustice to their fellow humans.
They will not bear bitterness or malice against their fellow humans.
They will not be covetous and greedy.
They will not steal.
They will not kill.

Those who do any of these evil and wicked things don't fear God and don't realise how much He loves us that He actually became flesh and sacrificed Himself to prove His love to us.

If God did not love us, He would not have created and made us in His beautiful and wonderful image and after His perfect likeness and holiness.
(GENESIS 1: 26).
Then finally, He paid the supreme price for the supreme sacrifice to save us as it is written in John 3:16:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

How To Identify Fake Pastors, Fake Prophets, Fake Bishops and Fake Churches

There is no true anointing of the Holy Spirit without the true manifestation of the infinite power of Almighty God.

That is the proof.
Without any proof, the anointing is fake .

Our Lord JESUS Christ said as it is written in Acts 1:8:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

#God #Jesus #Holyspirit #Power #Victory

How To Identify Fake Pastors, Fake Prophets, Fake Bishops and Fake Churches:

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.

Beware of anyone or church that tells you to do any ritual of any kind.
Anyone or church doing so is fake.

Anyone or church that tells you to pray with coloured candles and worship angels is FAKE.
Anyone or church that tells you do what our Lord JESUS Christ did not command His disciples to do is FAKE.
Just run away and don't look back.

Cultists and spiritualists are agents of Satan and demons sent to mislead ignorant people and lead them astray to damnation and destruction.
Just flee from them.

It is written in Psalm 40:4-10:

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

Galatians 1:8:

Let God's curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.

Without the Holy Spirit, You Don't Have Any Relationship With God

I have said this before on The Rhema Blog and it is for your own good to stop the falsehood and fake life of conceit and deceit.
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD NO MATTER YOUR RELIGION OR DENOMINATION.

No matter how often you quote verses of the scriptures and type "Amen" to the biblical quotes of others.
No matter the size of the copy of the Holy Bible you have in your house or workplace.
No matter how often you go to church.
For even witches and wizards also go to church.

The Promise of JESUS Christ and The Great Commission

The Promise of JESUS Christ and The Great Commission

How many pastors, bishops, ministers and fellow "Christians" in all denominations preaching the Gospel of our Lord JESUS Christ in Pentecostal churches in Nigeria can leave their wives, children and homes for the Great Commission and become Eunuchs of the Kingdom of God?
How many of them can leave the comfort zones of their churches and go and preach on "Molue" and "Danfo" buses for 10 years and go and stay in villages and drink stream water and sleep on a strip of a plank of wood placed on stones in a puddle of rain water in the mission fields of the Great Commission?

Do you know that majority of the pastors and ministers are more concerned and worried about paying the school fees of their biological children than the welfare of the widows and orphans in the church?

You Are Valuable!

You Are Valuable!

The Bible tells us that Bethlehem was a place of VERY little significance. There was nothing extraordinary about it. Bethlehem was the least of the ruling cities.

In modern terms, it would be the Detroit of the United States, or if I may….the Fresno of California.

But here is what I find fascinating. God could have chosen ANY PLACE for His son to be born! So why did He choose Bethlehem?

God ascribed value to Bethlehem causing it to not merely be a “fly over state” but a destination, somewhere people would intentionally plan to go.

An Uncommon Dream Requires Uncommon Faith!

An Uncommon Dream Requires Uncommon Faith!

What Is The Uncommon Dream...For You?

The Uncommon Dream is the Divine Photograph of you in your Future. The Uncommon Dream is not always The Divine Prediction. It is simply the mental picture of something you desire. The Uncommon Dream is the Divine Possibility.

Expose and Reject Every Form of Envy, Jealousy and Wickedness Everywhere

Who Almighty God has chosen to promote
Nobody can demote.

I have repeated this message before and I want to repeat it again for the benefit of my fellow true children of God and the light of the world, because majority of them often forget or are even afraid to manifest the Word of God and the victory He has given us.

Don't allow any idiot, ingrate or agent of Satan to demote you or deny the manifestation of the glory of the supremacy of our Almighty Father JEHOVAH God in your life 24/7.
Don't accept any demotion by any enemy of progress, even if he or she is pretending and smiling as a friend, but is a devil.
For anyone who wants to demote you is your enemy and the enemy of God.
Refuse every demotion by any idiot and demon.

HALLELUJAH! He is Risen! Our Messiah is Alive Forever!

HALLELUJAH!

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."

~ Matthew 28:6.

Promote The Power of Jesus!

Promote The Power of Jesus!

The first two letters of the word "Gospel" spell... "Go!" Christianity is a network of activity. Promote Jesus today. He is the Starting-Point of every miracle. Be the bridge that connects Him to someone in trouble today. Be bold. One Miracle Is Worth A Thousand Sermons.

“And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,” (Mark 16:15).

The Rhema of True Love By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima

Those who don't know how to love
Will never know how to live.
And those who don't know how to forgive
Will never know how to love.
~ Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.

Majority of people posing and posturing and pretending to be "Christians" in conceit and deceit don't practice true love.
In fact, they are practising Witchcraft in bitterness, bearing false witness and doing wickedness.

CAN YOU APOLOGISE TO AN EVIL DOER AND LIAR WHO HAS DONE YOU EVIL?
Cheating you and lying against you and unrepentant.
But if doing the unthinkable to save the wicked person from destroying himself or herself by the consequences of bitterness and wickedness, please do so before it is too late to save the unrepentant soul from going to hell.
They may not have the IQ or wisdom to understand it.
As it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:14:
"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

Dare To Dream Again

Dare To Dream Again

Wake up the Dreamer within you. Stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you are going. Tomorrow is not here yet. Birth it. Seasons change, but God's promises to you have not changed. Your miracle is just ahead. Your Mind Is Your World.

“The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts,” (Haggai 2:9).

Dear Instagram Braggarts, Come and Let Us Reason Together

Instagram Braggarts are those who come on Instagram to contest for bragging rights online, but offline they have never added any value to the lives of others.

If you are above 25 and you have never created jobs for yourself and others, SHUT UP!

What Does God Say About Supporting Ministers and Pastors?

What Does God Say?

You may not know this, but the Word of God encourages believers pretty strongly to support the laborers who minister to them:

'Pastors who do their work well should be paid well and should be highly appreciated, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. For the Scriptures say, “Never tie up the mouth of an ox when it is treading out the grain—let him eat as he goes along!” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!"' (1 Timothy 5:17, 18)
