Do Not be Deceived, God Cannot be Mocked

It is exciting to share this thought with you, as you read through be blessed in Jesus name.

We are in the era of grace. Unfortunately, most people born into Christian homes fail to understand the importance of having personal relationships with God. They live as they pleased and still pray to God for miracles, breakthroughs, and exploits - I call this "Spiritual Daydream". Being born into a Christian home is not a yardstick, doesn't guarantee your salvation, your personal relationship with God does. 

Daniel 11:32 says"...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits".

From the above, we can see that exploits are for the people who know God. You can only do exploits by being consciously righteous. You must be a seeker of the kingdom of God, and His righteousness - You must be Born Again! People always want God to do one thing or the other for them, but on their part don't want to do anything for God. God is not a user of man - He is not selfish but a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, Hebrews 11:6. People want to use God and dump Him when they are through in getting the breakthrough they tarry for - the foolish things of God is wiser than the wisdom of men. Sometimes, God's mercies allow them to see a little breakthrough, just for God to prove them and see their heart - most of them flee from the awesome presence of God and turn to worldliness subsequent to the breakthrough. That's when you see a used-to-be committed Christian brother or sister not having time for God. He or she was without a job before and prayed for a job and God honoured the prayer, and gave the job to him or her. Subsequently, the job turns into a reason why she doesn't even pray to God but continues to die spiritually each day! Nothing should hinder our relationship with God, absolutely nothing. The way you consider God, is the way He considers you in return - make Him special and a serious business, He treats you the same way; treat Him otherwise, you won't command much of His presence. 

James 4:8 says: "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." 

Also, Psalm 34:15 says: "The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." 

People mistake God's mercies as God's approval. He is way too merciful on mankind. He is very patient with us and gives us ample time to repent and get it right with Him. He allows some good things to happen to bad people for them to change. He loved us while we are yet sinners. 

Romans 5:8 says: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Most times,  such persons feel that God approves their lifestyle and still refuse to change - they continue in sin hoping that His grace should abound. Living in sin, they still place demands on God as though they have a relationship with Him. They wish to see big breakthroughs and miracles. They are disobedient to the Word of God yet,they want to command the supernatural and do exploits. 

2 Corinthians 10:6 says: "And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."

You cannot manifest the Jesus you (through your lifestyle) don't believe in. You cannot be living the way you want and still say "God take control". You can't be on the 'driver's seat' of your life (sinning at will) and say "God drive me". You can't be stealing or defrauding people, fornicating, taking bribes, backbiting for benefits and still say " Oluwa is involved" or "Oluwa bless my hustle". Oluwa means God (In Yoruba language, Nigeria). The bible says "Let he that names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity" 2Tim2:19. Those that are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God - those who walk not after the lust of the flesh. Everyone must bear in mind that whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. God doesn't make mistakes. Whatever a man does is being noted in Heaven,  good or bad alike. It is only genuine repentance that makes God forgive, wipe, and forget our sins. If you are not yet born again, this is an ideal encouragement for you to do so today. Get it right now with God. Remember, nobody can enter the kingdom of God, except he or she be born again, John3:3.  The Lord bless you. 

"I AM", not "I WAS"

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, Hebrews 13:8. He is "I AM", not "I was". He never changes with circumstances. He makes situations to change but never does His person change. Yes, He is God alone! 

Malachi 3:6, says: "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."

It is awesome to bring this word to you for the Word is all you need to have all your needs met. When you diligently hearken to the Word of God and catch the light of its revelations your story will change. I see you catch the light of God's Word and be blessed in Jesus name. 
Know this, no matter what situations or circumstances you have been in, or are passing through, all you need to do is to locate what the Bible is saying concerning them for your sake. For the Word has been sent to set you free! 

Psalm107:20 says; "He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions".

The Word of God is capable of doing whatever God is capable of doing. The word of God has no restrictions. In fact, the Word of God is quick and powerful! Hebrews 4:12. There is nothing impossible for the Word of God. The arm of flesh fails, but the Word cannot fail. 

Mark 10:27 says; And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.  

The Bible made us to understand that the Word is God. The Word is one of the Trinity. The Word cannot be separated from God. 

John 1:1, says " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God " 

Jesus is the Word of God, and by Him all things were made and without Him nothing was made that was made, John 1:3. This is why the Word prevails in all situations or circumstances as He engendered all things to exist.  Jesus did a lot of exploits and miracles while in the nature of man on earth and is still doing so today in the lives of those that believe in Him. He is the I AM. Whatever God did in the past He can replicate today. He was not more powerful yesterday (ancient times) and less powerful today, or to be more powerful tomorrow, He is Powerful and has been powerful and has never ceased to be powerful. He is just the same. Are you passing through marital challenges? Go to Him in prayers for He instituted it. Marital issues are best counselled and handled by God; not by any man or woman be it your parents or friends! 


Exodus 3:13-15 says: "Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." 

From the above verse, we can see how God clearly declared the duration of the validity of His name and power toward us. 

"...this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

This is for us to know that His great deeds and power endures forever and not for a season. In 1 kings 17:17-23, Elijah raised the widow's son from death. Jesus raised Lazarus from death, John11:32-44. Peter after Jesus died raised Tabitha from death, Acts 9:32-42. Jesus clearly gave us power to raise the dead, that is, you and I today are expected by Him to raise the dead, and replicate other miracles Jesus manifested while on earth and through the prophets of old. Jesus gave us power to replicate those miracles even today.

Matthew 10:8 says: "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."

Many doubt the miracles wrought by the hands of even notable men of God, this is wrong. They simply are implying (by their doubts,) that God isn't powerful in this age which is a blatant lie. 

Isaiah 43:13 says:"From the ancient times, I am He..."

I recall clearly, on 26th of September 2015, I got knocked down dead by a fast speeding vehicle taking the wrong turn. A lady, whom I do not know came, prayed and anointed me right there before the onlookers (as affirmed to me, for I was unaware of the happenings) and life suddenly returned back to my body. I was subsequently rushed to the hospital for a medical check where I fully regained consciousness. God is truly "I AM, not I WAS".

From the above, we could see from old testament to new testament and even unto this present day, how God has been faithful with diverse miracles even in raising the dead. Whomever you are, wherever you are, whatever you have done, as you read this piece, know that God is the most powerful and the One with all solutions of life; make your way to God wholeheartedly, and see how much good He will do for you. I am a living testimony. God bless you. Jesus is Lord!

WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW

                         


Umpteen times, I heard people declare "what I do not know cannot kill me, " this is sheer ignorance. What you do not know can actually kill you, take you by surprise, harm, and or destroy you. This is why knowledge is power. If a man who was killed by a strayed bullet foreknew he would experience such would he still visit such place? If an innocent young lady foreknew the ambush by some hooligans who raped her, would she have taken that way? The world is the way it is today because of ignorance of many. Seek to know God, and he will teach you what you do not know. Jer.33 : 3. Nobody will go to hell by mistake, nobody will go to heaven by mistake too - It is both by conscious decisions and deeds. Know that so long as you are alive you are in a battle.

 Ephesians 6:12 says; " For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

, 2cor. 10:3-4 says; For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. 

You can decide to fight or die cheaply for doing nothing. No witchcraft or power can stop you if you can pray, Numbers 23:23, Luke 10:19. Your mouth is a sharpened sword Isaiah 49:2. Many are lazy to pray. That's why things are the way they are with them. They say " what will be will be ", that's sheer ignorance for if there were no battles God won't empower us to fight. God has given us all we need for a successful life and power to defeat all adversaries of our glorious destiny. 

 2 Peter 1:3 says, According as His divine power hath given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue. 

Some people say destinies cannot be destroyed, yet the devil keep ripping off and destroying many destinies. John10:10 made us to understand that the devil can steal and destroy destinies so do not be deceived by ' que sera sera ' mantra.

  1Corinthians 16:9 says; For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 

So, rise and do the needful relentlessly. Accept Jesus today, if you are yet to, for He loves you and is always there for you.

God bless you.
