BE CAREFUL

                    2 TIMOTHY 2:19  

Be careful all you who sit and judge. What makes you think you are in a position to do so? If you don't understand the works of the HOLY SPIRIT, better keep your ungodly mouths shut .The bible says that all sins are forgiven but not when you speak against the HOLY SPIRIT. Whether someone speaks in tongues you understand or not, be careful not to mock. For the wrath of God; no man can contain. He is a merciful God, but you dare defile his holiness by your flirty words?

You are at liberty to doubt HIS word and works but you dare speak against it, ignorance is no excuse to the Lord. HE has made his word available to you. If u choose to remain in your ignorance for the love of sin, then stay there in silence. Don't make your matters worse by speaking against his HOLY SPIRIT.

Touch not my anointed says the Lord. But you evil ones corrupt the word by declaring to know them by their fruits. I wonder how you got the discerning spirit to know which fruit is of God and that which is not. By the way, which fruit are you? You who speak with authority and declare which one of God’s anointed is true or not. You liars who twist the word of God to suit your evil deeds? You cowards who cannot embrace the love of God. You will rather lazy you sprits about in the desires of your flesh.

Shut your mouths to what you don’t understand, don’t cross the part of the HOLY SPIRIT. HE knows HIS flock and HE alone knows the bad ones in HIM. HE alone can separate them. Even when a man of God or an anointed one is caught red handed, SHUT UP. Say nothing till the HOLY SPIRIT speaks to you. Remember EXODUS 20 VS 16.

Christianity is a handwork. Even after His Grace has found you, you need to study to show yourself approved.

 I pray for God’s mercy for all of us.

THE HAMSTER WHEEL

HAMSTER WHEEL

                                              

.

First all, you must know that God loves you so much. When he reviles something to you then you should know it is for your own redemption. His word tells us that he corrects us because he loves us. You might think I just write, but I believe he is using each post on this blog as a point of contact to strengthen your faith and satisfy your quest for him.AMEN

Make no mistake, the devil is not to be taken for granted. He is the wounded lion trying to gasp his last breath. He never sleeps at our expense. He is forever on guard awaiting for us to faulter so he can find his way back into our live. My last blog post spoke about being persistence in our faith. This post seeks to elaborate on that and revile certain thing as the Holy Spirit wishes for us to know. The bible tells that at the mention of the name Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. It is with this power in the name that we are redeemed and brought to his throne through his grace. Careful my brother and careful my sister. 

Don't take this grace for granted. I don't mean to scare you but inasmuch as the devil (the things we are struggling with; be it physical or spiritual) bows to the name JESUS, he never gives up on the fight to take us back into captivity. Let me not bore you with a long prelude. I might as well go straight to the point.

Our enemy (the devil) never sleeps. He is hanging around in a comer somewhere waiting for the opportunity to strike and recapture. Let me tell you some of things we Christians do that allows the devil to recapture us into frustrations, poverty, fornication, lies, addictions and the like.

Remember that before you were set free, the devil had you as his so he knew you.  When you come to Christ you become a NEW BEING and we must endeavor to remain new each and every day. We can only succeed at that by not forsaking the gathering of his people and must be forever seeking his face and steading his word (no room for complacency). Failure to do this spells doom for us. This when the devil begin to suggest sin to us through our weaknesses. Like I said, he knew you before, so he is much familiar with the things that can cause you to lie, fornicate, steal, smoke, drink and he can easily set you back into frustration.

I remember before he set his grace on me and redeemed me from the captivities that held me down, I was constantly battling to set myself free with my own power. I began to read books, spoke to people, made resolution but I realized I was acting more like a mouse stack in a Hamster Wheel. I was running so fast yet I was stuck in the same place. Then as privilege as I was, his grace found me and he bestowed on me an undeserving favor-lucky me.  I realized again that it was within this period that the temptations to go back to those things become stronger than before. Beloved the devil is greatly pissed and insulted when a soul is saved  he therefore ups his arsenal in a quest to win the soul back. If you are that soul then you need to realize that there is a great warfare taken place in the spiritual realms because of you so you must help yourself.

The battles in the spirit are dealt with for us by the Holy Ghost depending on our faith. But the things of the flesh we must endeavor to take care of.

Control yourself.

When the Holy Ghost laid the above statement on my heart, he gave me an understanding that there are some battles that has been worn for us but the devil in his evil smart ways may try to win his way back into our live through very cheap and easy thing that we could deal with. We begin to mistake routine for addiction. He suggests to our mind that we needed to smoke, drink, fornicate lie to save our souls; beloved at the point when salvation comes to you, he sets you free. Therefore any quest to go back to the things you use to do is just a mirage.  

Whomsoever the son of man sets free is free indeed amen.

The devil knew you before but he does not know the NEW YOU. So don’t allow him to draw you back or keep you stack in one place in your faith. You are meant to grow spiritually and physically through his son JESUS CHRIST.  The devil knew your weakness so he want to use them against you. Prove to him that you have new strength in JESUS CHRIST.

But careful. Don't take him for granted and don't get carried away. the only way you can win the battle against him is by abiding by these few things that is working for me. (There is still more for us all to learn though)

1.      Read you bible every single day and night. Every minute meditate on it.

2.      Set Your Eyes On The BIGGEST GOAL.  That when he comes back your name will be in his book of life.

When the devil ask you “are you letting all this go? That beautiful girl? That fast cash? That great feeling? This freedom? This fame? All these?”

Tell him “I have my eye set on the Jesus. He is worth more than a million of the above thing put together. He is my focus”

3.      Break The Routine.

4.      Change your circle of friends. They influence you greatly.

 “Blessed is he that sits not in the council of the unGodly”

5.       Above all Pray Earnestly.

Pray like you are crazy. Every single minute, wherever you are. It is our sword and shield we can't afford to let our guard down.

6.      Finally learn to give thanks in everything.

This is the only way you can sail through every storm. Because you know that Jesus Has your Best Interest at heart.

THINK ABOUT THIS

God created us to move forward in faith and life. We are born winners. The fact is we possess an advantage that the world doesn't have; and that is JESUS CHRIST.  It’s funny how some (if not most) Christians are stuck in the same position for years but most unbelievers rapidly yield success. Must we be poor because we are Christians?

ENDLESS PERSISTENCE

ENDLESS PERSISTENCE

1  peter 5:8-9

be well balanced(temperature,solder of mind) be vigilant and cautious at all times, for that enemy of yours, the devil,roams around like a lion roaring, seeking someone to seize upon and devour. withstand him and be firm in faith,knowing that the same suffering are appointed to your brotherhood.(the whole body of christ) throughout the world

His word has become fuel for my life. A day without visiting his presence is like an eternal hunger for my soul. I simply become disordered. Then the devil begins to whisper evil into my ears. I go back to my arsenal to see if I can get any word to overrule the devil. I later realized that the word I failed to read and meditate upon just that morning from my DAILY BREAD was the solution I needed to withstand the temptation.

His word satisfies our soul. But we must be careful not to become complacent. Thinking we have read the bible enough or because of our belief that he is with us we start to slow down. Also many Christians come to God for a particular purpose. Soon as the purpose is fulfilled they begin to relax; going to church irregularly and reluctant prayers begin. That is when we slowly fall back into our sins.
 (note: Don’t play back and forth with God. Its either you are for him or against him. SIMPLE)

If only you knew the bigger picture God has painted for your live, you won’t stop where you are now.

Ye know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.

I John 5:18

I will keep this one short. The devil is not resting. He is continually looking for the smallest loophole around you to take advantage of. Don’t give him the chance. The only way you can win the battle is to continue praying and meditating on his word. Be persistent in your faith and exercise self-control.

The battles in the spirit are dealt with for us by the Holy Ghost depending on our faith. But the things of the flesh
 we must endeavor to take care of.
Control yourself.

THE LITTLE THINGS

THE LITTLE THINGS

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

I wake up every morning and he gives me the ability to share his word with you. Let me ask you this one simple and possible common question; do you know how you were able to wake up from bed this morning? Or are you better than the ones who died in their sleep last night?

Ok. You might possibly be feeling better off and thinking you are far off from such unexpected happenings. But let me make something clear to you; you are no better than the garbage collector on the street, neither is the rich man living in a 10 bedroom mansion surrounded by fleets of cars better than you.

(I am no better) Are we not governed by the same 24hour, 7day a week rule? 

Am not writing this to imprint mediocre thoughts in your mind, neither am I try to make you feels as though you are worthless.( in fact God created us to be achievers and winners, not beggars and looser. I pray he blesses us with wisdom enough). My purpose of sharing this with you is to encourage you to pay attention to the little things that our father up above does for us on daily bases through his son Jesus Christ.

Learn to give thanks for the little things he does. The air we breathe, our limbs to reach out and work, our peace of minds (ever visited a mental hospital?) and the mouth with which we speak (you are no better than the deaf and dumb).  Anyone who has the ability to either create or freely give any of the above can boast and tell me he or she doesn’t need GOD. But I say to you, as long as you benefit from any of these, you should forever remain thankful and humble. Take a visit to any hospital or clinic close to you and then you will realize how ungrateful you are.

It’s funny how we forget ourselves and boast of how hard we worked to achieve something. Nonsense, did you just say “I did, I have done or I will do”? Ok. Cool. Wait till he takes his breath away then we will see if you can. You dare look down on someone with disgust. You exalt yourselves in your achievement thinking you are somehow a supreme being. Death can humble and shut you up in a second.

One thing that scares me for my fellow peers (the youth), is how we have created our own gods to replace our father above.  Fashion, television and technology are now our gods, and we boast of owning the latest gadgets and clothes, making so much noise about how we anticipate for the earthly or worldly events.

We forget that we equally have peers stacked in foster homes and on the streets thinking of how to find what to eat? We forget that we are no better than the orphans who lost their parents at birth or the homeless boys and girls who sleep outdoors at night hoping it won't rain so they can sleep in peace. Be thankful you have a roof over your head and food is not your worry.

Think twice before you boast of your abilities. It’s not a bad thing to believe in yourselves but just to let you know; you are no better than the trotromate (bus conductor) sitting in front of you in this bus. Neither are you better than the homeless boy who needs to carry heavy load at the market place in other to get food to feed his sick mother in bed at home nor the children born with cancer.

You have the strength to attend parties, drink and smoke as much as you can. Be thankful. You fancy breaking hearts and “kicking” a fresh bait. Be grateful. You can walk into KFC and order you favorite meal. Be full of praise. For if you knew the battles Jesus fights on your behalf at night when you sleep or you knew the number of angels who protect you when you cross the streets, you will be humbled. You will now understand the need to give all these gods we have created in our lives up and follow the ALPHA and OMEGA himself, Yahweh, the “I am that I am”, the father of all fathers, the King of kings. He has the power to give and take as he pleases but don't be afraid to come to him. He loved you so much that he gave you the one and only true way to get to him by handing his beloved son Jesus Christ to die for you and I.

Therefor he is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because he always live to intercede for them.

Hebrews 7:25

Beloved we are just under his favor and love . The unconditional LOVE that shadows us from the accusations of the devil.

“Be ye grateful, be ye humble, be ye helpful and above all learn to love one another for I the Lord your God so loved you even when you knew me not. Just us I was with Israel so am I with anyone who looks up to me. Be careful to give me my due praise and thanksgiving for I am a jealous God”

The lord says.

THE EVIL VICES- Just a mirage

I don't claim to know everything yeah and am no better human. Just a sinner like you. But I believe we all have our issues. We fight different battles even though we are on the same battle field.  Ranging from addiction to alcohol and drugs through to fornication and lies. GOD doesn't hold any of these things against us. (Oh! You think he does? Then why send Jesus?) .

I don’t know what you are battling with in this life, I can’t tell how much you despise them and you are probably cursing the day you got involved. It could be addiction to drinking, smoking, fornicating or adultery, lies and theft, but I know one sure solution that conquers all - Jesus Christ.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

I John 1:9

He understands the limit and boundaries within which our human strength can go and he knows when the battle goes beyond that. That’s fair enough. Inasmuch as He would like to fight your battles for you, you need to first submit to his power. Accept the fact that the battle is not yours to fight and humbly accept that without him you can’t overcome your problems. Trust me; this works like nothing else does. The devil hates it when we stop fighting him and allow our Lord Jesus Christ deal with him.

For our struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your grounds, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Ephesians 6:12

Take note: God deals with everyone one differently according to the purpose to which he has called them. Some battles he wins for us instantly, others he takes his time and walks us through a process and when he’s done with us, we come out stronger and better.

Don’t let the devil deceive you think that you are his. I mean you were not born with alcohol, neither did you exit your mother’s womb with a pack of cigarette. Before you had sex, you never had sex. All these vices are invited into ourselves by us. Possibly, if we had employed a little amount of self-control from the beginning, we wouldn’t have ended up at this point. But all things work together for good for the good of them who love the Lord, to them who are called according to His purpose. Whatever you are battling with in your spirit today, it’s so because GOD wants to use you as a testimony to His work. So get up and pick up your cross (burden) and come lay it before His cross. And He will make sure that burden is lifted out of your life.

Therefore we do not loose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16

Trust me yeah, it’s not as hard as we think it is. Honestly, but for the deception of the devil (making us think we don’t have control), nothing has the power to hold us or tie us down. Didn’t he say he created us in his own image? Didn’t he say he has given us power over principalities and powers in high places? Doesn’t his word tell us that above all things he created man to take control of everything? Don’t let the devil deceive you to think you are anything lesser. You have power over the devil and his evil vices IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Whatever is holding you down is a mirage.

May the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ blind you with faith so that you don’t see this mirage anymore.

Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Luke 9: 1

May I pray with you in the name of Jesus Christ?

Father in the might name of Jesus your beloved son, we thank you for the fact that we are still alive till this day. Lord we are just mere mortals and we keep failing you each day by the sins we commit both consciously and unconsciously. But we thank you for letting your son die on the cross for us so we can be redeemed and be presentable in your presence. Father, we come to you as humble sons and daughters, accepting that we are nothing without you and your grace. Lord, you know our hearts and you know that our desire is to serve you and be faithful to you. But Father, the evil one lead us to believe we were not worthy of your grace and your son taught us otherwise; He said we should lay down our problems before your throne and at his feet and so we are here before you. We have fought with our might but we failed. Knowing you are a God who has never failed, we run to you. We pray you accept us into your light so that any part of us that has been covered with darkness be lighted up as from this day onwards.

Amen

In conclusion, know that the God you have chosen to follow is a faithful God. He never fails and he will never fail. He is the God of all gods.

 And now. O Lord, you are God and your words are true, and you have promised these good things to your servant.

2 Samuel 7: 28

DON’T GIVE UP ON GOD CUZ HE WON’T GIVE UP ON YOU. Just know that HE IS ABLE.                                              

    -Detrick Haddon

Food for thought.

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 5:13

Frank Tagoe

Grace

When we grow in Christ, we begin to realize life is not a simple as we think it is. As Christians we should live not for ourselves but for the creator who created us for his desired purpose.  Who are you to postpone one event or the other till tomorrow? Do you own tomorrow or do you even know how ‘tomorrow’ comes about. Why then boast of your assurance of tomorrow.

The lord has blessed you with today so why not make the best out of it with Christ as your guide. Ask for the guidance of his holy spirit and he will give you the strength to complete whatever mission today according to his will and purpose. But if it be his will that it be done with tomorrow he will grant you tomorrow. Don’t walk idle and allow the devil to deceive you. Endeavor to grow in faith and allow the spirit of God to be your guide. Long for his presence and permission in everything you so plan to do. He is not a God that fails and he will never fail.

Walk in faith and you will never loose. He once said to “when you walk, walk with your head lifted up high. Because I have made all things available for you”.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Mathew 5:6

All he needs from you is to just trust in him. His word says that with faith we can move mountains. When the spirit of God is your guide, fear, hopelessness, failure, sickness, death, uncertainty (confusion, anxiety), addiction, evil thoughts and low self-esteem will have no power over you.

[Jesus defeated death when he rose on the third day so why must his brothers and sisters be afraid of death. He says “Then Jesus declared, “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. WHOEVER COMES TO ME WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY, AND WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER BE THIRSTY. John 6:35]

No one will be able to stand against you all the days of yours life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Joshua 1:5

Demons belong in hell and not in our business, work (dreams, desires and aspiration), school, lifestyle, family or even in our Christian lives. 

When you learn to leave all your worries to God in faith and in the name of Jesus Christ, no weapon can triumphant over. When they try the power in that name will bring them to death.

(He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29)

But he said to me, “my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Help me give an unending list of reasons why we need to rely solely on him.

1.    He created us in his own image

2.    His is God above all

3.    Ancient of days

4.    King of kings

5.    Beginning and the end

6.    The author and finisher of our faith

7.    His love is not comparable

8.    He reigns

9.    The “I am that I am”

10.  He was, is and is still to come

11.  Above all he sent his only begotten son to come and die for sinner like you and me who were not worthy of his grace. His name is Jesus and at the mentions of his name all knees shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is king.
