House On The Rock

“But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings; partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him” Hebrew 10:32-38 NKJ

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are approaching the middle of the year and thank God you are alive to witness the greatness of our God as we draw closer to the Day of our Redemption!

By the way this message is to encourage you my brethren in the most Holy Faith.

I am reminding us all (including myself) that not all that glitters is gold and not all things that are called gold are of the devil either.

We are at a time and again in the western world that believes that if you do not have material substance to your name, your faith is not valid and especially if you are not a homeowner with beautiful car, flat screen tv etc… and during offering in church your offering must be in the league of thousands and get the attention of both the Pastors and the entire congregation or “you have not arrived”.

Beloved, if you are not in this category, I want to cheer you up with the scripture above which teaches us that “some brethren endure a great struggle with sufferings, partly while they were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations”.

It is sad that we no longer teach saints of God through Christ that the promises of God have both time and season and until then you will be made a spectacle like Sarah was with Hagar, like Hannah was with Peninnah.

I have learnt in my walk with Jesus Christ that being made a spectacle is part of the “discipline” we experience along the journey of faith. If you receive a promise from God (if the promise is indeed from God) men will laugh at you BUT those who laugh at you will eventually laugh with you (without choice). The word of God teaches us that scoffers and mockers are the instruments of our being made as spectacles.

The promise of God is not contained in the mind but your spirit – though processed in your mind. That is why your mind must be renewed daily to believe that God is not a man to lie, neither the son of man to repent.

Hold on to God’s promise. He who is coming will come and will not tarry. The time of manifestation of the promise is never late.

You know beloved, the problem is not with the promise but the interpretation of God’s promise to us.

1: Some of us believe that the promise of God is for now. Sometimes yes and sometimes it is for the future. You can only know which is now or the future through your walk with God.

In your waiting time, be careful not to be a victim of D.O.G.S.

Beware of D.O.G.S!

Dangerous
Opportunities which

Shame

Not all that glitters is gold! Wait as God is never late.

Thank God for taking us through the past months marked with harsh winter season. For those of us who experienced the winter for the first time, it was as if the sun will never shine again. But to God be the glory.

No season is permanent. After winter, there will always be spring.

I love the spring season because it marks the beginning of new life. Flowers are out in the fields, grass comes out green and leaves are out to cover the trees again.

This is a season that represents new life.

During this season, we also remind ourselves of the death burial and resurrection our Lord Jesus Christ. It is not that we forget but just as the Church celebrates the birth of Jesus at Christmas so also we celebrate His death and resurrection.

Beloved as it is impossible for winter to stop the spring season so I want you to rest assured that nothing can stop your season of manifestation as a son of God. The word son is used for both male and female in the Bible so sisters bear this in mind. “For you are all sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ” Galatians 3:26.

You cannot be hidden and if God is for you, who can be against you.

The word of God remind us that “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:32.

Remember, each one of us has his or her appointed time and season. I pray that you will not miss yours now.

Let this season of life bring you into newness of the Spirit. “Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” 1 Peter 1:18-19.

With this knowledge beloved, rise above discouragement, rise above mediocrity, and rise above every challenge that is before you. See yourself seated above your enemies.  As it was impossible to stop Jesus from resurrecting on the third day, so it is impossible to stop you becoming the man or woman God ordained you to be. Be determined in your spirit to live constructively in this new season and experience His life afresh.

You see brethren, the same tree that has new leaves, was planted on the same soil it has always been before. The soil did not change. It only receives the necessary nutrients that produce leaves. The necessary nutrients you need for productivity is released to you now. Let the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead quicken your mortal body and empower you to be fruitful now.

Through that power, the bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. Matthew 27:52.

I pray that this season that we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, will be your season of fresh encounter.

May you blossom, be filled with new life, freshness in your spirit, good health and be fruitful in Jesus name.

Once again, Happy Easter!

The word of God teaches us that “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent. Has He said and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19.

I am amazed at the manner with which we have and are presenting God to the world as if He was a man.

Humanity is different from Divinity.

God is sovereign and His counsel stand Supreme over the counsel of man.

As an African by birth, our tradition taught us about that power of divinity.

No true African can deny the fact that spirits are real. Their world is real, there assignment is real. John 10:10

Some of us were delivered from their hands through the death and resurrection power of Jesus Christ to good works which God ordained before the foundation of the world and so coming out of that background, we know that spirit realm is real.

I have also come to know that this is true of other culture in the continent of the world but I will build my case on my African root.

Spirits speak.

Now in Christ we know their testimony is not true but back then, before we believe and accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord of our lives, the words of these spirits and their priests were taken serious and never questions.

Now in Christ, (glory be to God,) those of us who have made Jesus Christ Saviour and Lord should not forget that God is the God of all the spirits of all flesh and the creator of all spirits. His word is held Supreme over all the words of all spirits. Numbers 27:16

We read in the Book of 2 Chronicles 18:18-22, the account of Micaiah before Ahab king of Israel.

“I saw in Heaven the Lord sitting on His throne and all the Host of Heaven standing on His right hand and His left. And the Lord said, “Who will persuade Ahab the king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead? So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will persuade him’ The Lord said to him, in what way? So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, you shall persuade him and also prevail, go out and do so. Therefore look, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours and the Lord has declared disaster against you.’

Ladies and Gentlemen, I come to inform you through this message that God is not a man that he should lie. If He says peace there is peace, but right now what is the point of saying peace when there is no peace and we have deceived many “in the name of the Lord” saying “the Lord told me to tell you that you are to go in peace, you shall prosper and all our messages have centred on physical blessings when you yourself know that your work right now will definitely not give birth to peace!

I am of opinion that many of us are under the influence of lying spirits from Heaven. As it was in the day of Ahab, so it is today.

Ahab was a weak king who submitted himself to the wicked counsel of his wife Jezebel and as a result of this, God pronounced His judgement on his entire household including his wife Jezebel.

As God is not a man, what He said came to pass.

Let us look into our lives now.

What made us to believe that we will live a covetous “Jones” lifestyle and not pay the price of such lifestyle if we refuse to repent?

Is it because we know how to pray, fast and associate ourselves with certain men and women of God?

Is it because we tithe and give so call offerings to our churches or because we run charity work to cover our wickedness?

Who has bewitched us like Paul said to the Galatians! To think that we can be as canal as we can be, and expect the Spirit of Christ to empower us is unbelievable. Ok I get it, we are empowered alright especially us who are supposed to be custodian of the Truth but not by the Holy Spirit but by lying spirit to cause many to stumble from faith!

Beloved God is never moved by polluted offerings from heart that is corrupt and wicked. Please read what the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 50:7-15.

We have become a generation that refuse listen to the word of God especially because we live in a civilised society. We have become so civilised that we made ourselves to become pals with God of Heaven.

In the African religions no one dare made the gods their pals. The words of the gods through their priests are final authorities.

Our daughters are marrying pagans just to be seen to marry, even some are marrying heathen for right to live in UK, afterwards they dump them and we smile all the way to the altar. Our sons are on the altar of Jezebel and with women who are turning their hearts away from the living God and no one is saying anything. Have we forgotten the story of Solomon so soon?
All that we do now is partying every Saturday and go to church on Sunday to fulfil our religious duty. Oh I forget, Friday night of prayer, Saturday party (for some after choir practice) Sunday Service and we drop the dollar from last night party in the basket (in a country where Sterling is the currency) and we Pastors smile that we have heard a great service today! Is there no one who will cry out to God for TRUE AND FRESH FIRE TO START FROM SUCH PULPIT OF BAAL?

Remember, God is not a man.

I want you to consider for a minute what He allowed His Son to go through on the Cross in order for my sins and yours to be judged.

What do you think will happen to those who continue to walk in an ungodly manner without repentance?

A man was given opportunity to repent but he said he was not ready. He said he will do so when he is ready. Unfortunately he was never ready till he met his “Waterloo”.

Time is running out beloved. Remember God is not a man. Purpose in your heart to change before change is enforced on you.

It is with sincere love that I communicate this message to you as I do not want you to miss the greatest event of the ages.

RAPTURE!

I have been told that according to the scripture some will be tribulation saints. Yes this is true but you should not live your life to be one.

You see beloved, I believe we are product of our choices after Salvation. You did not choose Jesus, He chose you before the foundation of the world and since your Salvation is not of your making but by His grace, the choice you made after that is yours. You become what you believe by choice and what you believe is shaped by what you hear, read or see. These are all ancient truth that modernisation cannot take away from us.

When was the last time you listen to the news about the political events happening around the world lately? Some of us take it as if it is not your business after all “the press never tell us the truth anyway”

There is element of truth in that approach to the press but to ignore what they say in the news is to live deliberately as a blind man at the edge of a cliff.

My advice is to hear and look into the matter yourself (am not talking about rape and murder cases; even with that, it is often proved that the culprit is a close person known to its victim etc.)
Political stories often hold the clue to end time prophecy.

Beloved, let us not live our lives with settlement mentality. We are going Home very soon!

You may say where is Home?

Home is Heaven.
By the way, Heaven is not for moral people. The best of our morality cannot take us through the Gate. It is only accessed by accepting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. All our righteousness are like filthy rags. No man can stand in the Presence of Holy God in their morality. We must be born again. That which is born of the flesh is the flesh but that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.

To be born again is to acknowledge that in you there is nothing good and you need the saving grace of Jesus Christ into your life.

You may not kill but that does not mean that if exposed to someone with attempt to kill you, your “wife” “husband”, your children, you will want to defend yourself or even your loved ones. The tendency and potential is in all of us to do so. Sinful Adamic nature is unpredictable.

The followings are important at this point.

If you have not made Jesus your Saviour and Lord please see the following steps to take:

• Acknowledge that you are a sinner

• Admit and confess your sins

• Ask God through Jesus to forgive you of your sins

• Invite Jesus Christ to come into your life to be your Saviour and your Lord

• Ask the Holy Spirit to come and help you live the life of Christ in and through you.

Find someone straight away to testify to that you are now a Child of God through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord! If you have done this, please contact me on pastorlola@hotric.org.uk or call our office number on +44 (0)207 231 6685.

I want to hear your testimony

Now if you are my paddy (for the people with such language) or brethren through the Redeeming Blood of Jesus Christ the good news is that we are going Home soon!

Our redemption drew near! I am not saying you should resign from your job that will be an act of irresponsibility, neither walk away from your family, do not stop living. Get busy living His life in you to the fullest! Occupy till we are called.

“But I do not want you to be ignorant brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no home. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

When was the last time you hear this type of passage read out to you in your church assembly?

Some claim it is only those who want to escape the world that teaches such message, some claim it is for those who are not productive. If you are productive you will not even think about such because you are busy.

I ask you this question? If you are made an Ambassador of your nation to a foreign nation and at the back of your mind you will not be in foreign land permanently, will you not consciously remind yourself of the day you will go back to your Home country and with that mind-set knowing that you will return to give account to your Head of State, will you not do all in your power to serve your nation to the best of your ability with the resources at your disposal? The resources at your disposal include:

Free accommodation, financial security, security and secret service agents who watch to protect you and your family till you fulfil your charge, the diplomat building which is under the jurisdiction of your sending nation. Opportunity to be invited to key functions in your host nations where the interest of your Home nation will be presented, the list is endless and in case of major crisis arising in the host nation, you will be recall back to your Home nation!

We are in such situation now. We have been enjoying all these resources (only our greed and the fact that we lost focus of who we are and our assignment has robbed us of abundance of the above resources).

Crisis is mounting up in our Host nations and the people in our Host nations are tired of their governments. They are crying for self-rule. Those under self-rule are also tired of the government they voted into power. I am glad I am an elect child of God without human election so no man need be tired to vote me out of government.

Democracy is the rule of the people by the people.

Beloved our Head of State will soon recall us Home. Re-align yourself with His agenda in your Host nation wherever you are in the world that He sent you to and be expectant.

We are going pretty soon!

Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus!

Who is Isaiah?

Isaiah was a young man whose name means Jehovah saves or Jehovah is Salvation in other word, he was born to believe and have confident reliance on Jehovah.

He was an Old Testament Prophet who lived through the reign of 4 kings in the Southern Kingdom of Israel. (Uzziah, Jothan, Ahaz, Hezekiah)

Young Isaiah regularly enjoyed visit to the royal house as a Prophet and he had access to who was who in the time of King Uzziah who by the way was an outstanding king after David and Solomon.

Even though a prophet he was limited in his prophetic because of distractions due to the achievements of his hero.

Beloved be careful of associating with Achievers of great things that you forget there is greatness in you too. Elisha was close to Elijha but he did not lose his vision of God. Joshua was close to Moses but he did not become his friend! As a matter of fact whenever Moses left the Tabernacle, Joshua stayed behind to seek the same God his master sought after. (Exodus 33:11)

No wonder God appointed him successor. While you idolise achievers, you forget your purpose in life.

NEVER BE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR UZZIAH THAT YOU FORGET THERE IS A WELL WAITING TO BE DUG IN YOU TOO.

DIG YOUR WELL FOR MANY ARE WAITING TO DRINK WATER FROM IT.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the story of Isaiah was an example of us all.

Isaiah was comfortable as long as his hero was achieving success and everyone was talking about him. The success of his king took hold of him and he forgot he had a higher calling. His prophetic ministry was greatly affected by lack of pursuit of God because of what he focused on.

• Let us ask ourselves this question.

WHAT AND WHO YOU FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW DETERMINE HOW YOU END UP IN LIFE.

Isaiah never asked himself those questions until the day God took his hero away.

Direct or indirect idolisation of your hero will cause God to remove him or her in your life.

Our God is a Jealous God! Exodus 20:4-5.

We are a generation that is raised in comfort so why do you need to pray beyond the comfort zone? Why seek God when you can even buy your way through after all “money is a defence and it answers all things”. Ecclesiastes 7:12

While focusing on your Uzziah, your heart is not fully exalting the Lord but man and his achievements.

The result is to develop ungodly confident in man and Jeremiah 17:5 declares “Thus says the Lord, cursed is the man who trusts in man, (have confidence in man) and makes flesh his strength whose heart departs from the Lord”.

Beloved, we all need the Holy Spirit to help shift our attention from hero worship in this age. Everyone has his or her favourite Bishop, Pastors, Apostles etc… While we pick and chose our hero preachers, we are stuck in our own pursuit of God and the calling of God on our lives become irrelevant to those we are sent to.

Some of us are even in a church where you cannot even say you are chosen for a specific assignment because the set man is the man of the hour! We dress like our heroes, talk like them, walk like them….

As important as our Pastoral ministry is, STOP IDOLISING US! FIND YOUR MINISTRY AND LET US EQUIP YOU TO FULFIL IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU.

The PURPOSE OF A LOCAL CHURCH IS TO EQUIP BELIEVERS FOR THE WORK OF THEIR MINISTRY HENCE A PASTOR IS GIVEN ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS 4: 11.

THOSE IN FIVEFOLD MINISTRY ARE TO EQUIP YOU FOR THE WORK OF YOUR OWN MINISTRY.

NOT ALL OF US WILL STEP OUT OF THE LOCAL CHURCH TO PIONEER MINISTRY BUT YOU HAVE A MINISTRY!

Saved for 5years, 10years etc and you are still hooked by hero syndrome and not seeking God for why He took hold of your life.

If your attention is on your Uzziah, and not God, what happen when God remove your hero from you what do you have left?

Beloved, to be an effective believer, your vision must change from today. May your vision of God be renewed.

When you see the Lord, the following will happen to you as it did to Isaiah.

• Vision of God’s Awesomeness & Holiness.

Isaiah 6:1-3. God is bigger than Uzziah. He is the King of all kings and the Lord of all Lord!

When you focus your attention on mortal man, your vision is limited as he is limited. The bigness of our God enables us to live beyond limitation.

Also God is Holy.

You and I cannot serve God until you catch the revelation of His Holy nature.

How can you profess to be a worshipper and servant of Holy God and still be leaving in sin?

How can you profess to be a worshipper and servant of Holy God and be involved in all kind of unfruitful work of darkness that is destroying the progress of your local church?

Beloved the Holiness of God revealed to us causes us to abstain from evil and all unfruitful work of darkness. It is this Holy nature of God that should enable us to focus and run from evil because in His is no darkness at all.

Be ye Holy as Am Holy 1Peter 1:13-16.

• VISION OF YOURSELF.

Until you see the Lord, you will never see yourself as a sinner saved by grace. You will be seeing other people as unclean and deal with them arrogantly.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are all sinners but the Redeemed of the Lord has been saved by His grace. Stop behaving as if you are above the shoulder of other people.

You are not all that yet!

When Isaiah saw the Lord, his statement changed to “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts” Isaiah 6:5.

He also later wrote “ But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like a filthy rags. We all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away” Isaiah 64:6

While you are busy chasing your hero Bishop, hero Apostle, hero designer, hero Pastor, hero footballer, hero R&B singer etc.. with the intention of dressing like them, talking like them, ministering like them and you believe that their achievement is IT. Beloved what God has in store for you, “eyes has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it enter into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” 1 Corinthians 2:9.

See yourself as a workman in progress and allow the Holy Spirit to clean you and grace you for the journey of greatness.

• VISION OF GOD’S ENABLING POWER TO CLEANSE US WAS REVEALED.

“And he touched my mouth with it, and said: behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is purged. Isaiah 6:7

Ladies and gentlemen, when your eyes are turned from your Uzziah to the Lord, you will receive the revelation of the cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus. You are now a new creation old things have passed away behold they have become new! 2 Corinthians 5:17.

You cannot be effective in your walk with God with weight of sin hanging on your shoulder. The guilt of sin is unbearable. You must know that your old life is under the Blood of Jesus!

When you also turn to seek the living God with the same passion you use in pursuing your heroes and heroines, you will experience the grace to live a new life.

• VISION OF BEING SENT & HIS MESSAGE FOR THE PEOPLE HE SENT YOU TO: Isaiah 6:8-10

Finally, when Isaiah had the encounter with the Lord, he was able to receive a fresh mandate from God.

There was a call in Heaven as it was in Revelation requesting for a messenger to go with a message to God’s people. Who responded?

A man who had seen the Lord and is no longer afraid, no longer intimidated by human success but Heaven’s Victory!

Isaiah became a man with a different mission on earth after he saw the Lord

Where are you in all these?

It is my prayer that you too will change focus and see the Lord.

It truly makes a difference!

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is of great importance that I present to you a message of serious importance to me as I believe to every committed and loyal follower of Jesus Christ in 21st Century!

Jesus Christ is the same.

• Yesterday.

Yesterday, Jesus came to our world to save us from sin. While He was on earth, He lived purposefully and in complete obedience to His Father. He did not pursue His own agenda.

To accomplish His mission on earth, He appointed certain people from various professional back-ground. Some were fishermen, tax collectors and Judas the betrayal. Matthew 10:1-4

The structure of His ministry yesterday remains today. He appointed the uneducated fishermen, the unexpected men that were looked down upon by the society because of their profession.

He is not against education as He the ONLY Doctor that was not trained by man, ATTORNEY that never went to LAW SCHOOL! Oh by the way, His choices of men were the BEST in their PROFESSIONS.

He was hosted by the rich but never settle in their comfort. He had time for both great and small. Children were welcomed by Him, widows found comfort in His Presence.

Jesus healed the sick, delivered the tormented. So caring and full of love for man that His love made Him drove out of the Temple those that were buying and selling with whip! Matthew 21:12.

Throughout His ministry on earth, He did not compromise His purpose by settling for success. He was not into successful ministry but significant ministry hence His ability not to allow man to make Him what He already is! Success will make you settle at East of the Jordan rather than enter Canaan – The Promised Land. After all Reuben, and Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. Numbers 32:1-2.

He rebuked the religious leaders and showed His anger at their corruption.

Before He left our world He told His disciples of the importance of Unity and prayed for those who will believe their testimony of Him through them. John 17:21-25.

Yesterday, Jesus told His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father before they can be His witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost part of the world! Acts 1:8.

• Today.

Beloved, the same is today!

Today through the Holy Spirit, the ministry of Christ is still the same.

Healing the sick, delivering the tormented. Every other aspect of His life is still seen today.

The area we failed to address is the area of CHOICE of DISCIPLESHIP.

Beloved, yesterday those who followed Jesus were not lazy, they were those who were passionate about their lives and business affairs!

How much more true is it today?

Ministry is not for lazy folks! It is not for those who because they were unemployed suddenly wake up to obey God’s calling. It is not for those who were idle and realised they were called and now the best way of making money and exercising influence is ministry of Jesus.

If Jesus did not do that yesterday, He will not permit it today. Even Apostle Paul was passionate about his service to the Law Society and the high priest of his days. Acts 9:1.

Whatever the Holy Spirit did through Jesus yesterday, He wants to do through us today and He will do TOMORROW.

Jesus is no longer here in PERSON but His Spirit is here and through us who believe, the PROCESS SHOULD NOT CHANGE.

So brethren, DO NOT CHANGE THE RULE! Jesus is the same.

• Tomorrow.

He is the same.

I have heard many times that Christianity in Europe is becoming history because of secularism.

May I say to my readers that secularism is not limited to Europe, but to the West generally.

Someone once said that when Christianity began, it started with relationship with God through Jesus Christ, but when it got to Greece, it ended up as a Philosophy on reaching Rome, it became an Institution. In Europe as a whole, it is now a culture and now America has commercialised it!

For some, everything is seen in $s. (Thank God for God fearing ones)

For you to be healed you have to sow for it. For your loved ones to be saved, you have to sow for it. “For you not to lose your salvation” you must sow for it!

There is offering for oil, water, handkerchief (of all colour), special sword that cut the ear of Roman centurion, chariot of fire that carried Elijha to Heaven, different Bibles with concordance and yet to some of them faith is not there.

We all know that the real Jesus never asked anyone to sow for their healing. He was moved with compassion and healed them. But today so called “Christian preachers” are different. I wonder who they represent and whose they are.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am of opinion that if a cloth is dirty, the necessary thing is to take it for dry cleaning. If you are sick, you go to the doctor.

Right now I know that we are not clean but thank God for His cleansing process going on! We shall be cleansed and made ready to meet our Lord and King in the air soon!

The enemy is doing its best to make the world believe that Christianity is old fashion and it is a sect.

If following Jesus Christ on daily basis, serving His purpose on earth and not be conformed to the dictate of this world is what you call a sect, then we Christians are a sect.

If being a Christian SUNDAY – SUNDAY (not Monday to Saturday as a secular believer and on Sunday put on church cloth) makes us a sect, and then let it be.

If giving to promote Christ Kingdom on earth through preaching of the gospel is what makes us a sect, then we are sect.

Just because some eggs are bad does not make the whole eggs in the tray bad. Just because some are greedy, selfish, immoral and uncaring does not speak of the whole Body.

The Church of Jesus Christ is more than American Church, European Church, African Church etc…. The Body is global with parts from all around the world!

I am not ashamed to say I am a CHRISTIAN BY GOD’S GRACE!

To all my brothers and sisters around the world it is time to stand up and be counted as A CHRIST FOLLOWER!

Remember, it was the heathen in Antioch who first called us CHRISTIANS when they SAW how believers lived. When they saw how the church loved, care, support and practically lived out the word of God. They said this is none other that CHRIST FOLLOWERS. CHRISTIANS.

I am what I am by God’s grace A CHRISTIAN! For this I am not ashame to declare it even on my blog.

You may say but you are a preacher. Yes but I have come to know that some preachers are in ministry for livelihood so being a CHRISTIAN 24/7 does not matter to them. It is a job they entered into.

Some of us have nowhere to go to. We have left our professions and degrees to follow our Master because we are CHOSEN for His purpose on earth.

On behalf of such people, we are not ashamed to be called CHRISTIANS AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE SO!

“And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds, then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgement” 2 Peter 2:6-9.

I know for some of you, the messages you read on my website and blog are probably what you never expected to read. For some, it is the medicine needed for your soul and spirit.

Beloved, the fact that you are on this page now simply tells me that God is speaking to you and I will advice you not to switch off (which we often do in our mind when we are not comfortable with the message) or worse to close the file.

You see, you and I must go back to basic!

We have been in the Church too long we forget it is not about Church but KINGDOM.

The Church without Kingdom agenda offers us religion and cover up. But when your mindset is geared into fulfilling Kingdom agenda, your walk with the Lord takes a different meaning.

Church that offered us religion also gave us form of godliness without power. The result is imitation, deception and fake. We cover up and we are not even good at it.

Our best cover up is seen as far as eyes could see by all except those who by choice deny the truth!

We justify ourselves by saying that love covers multitude of sins BUT we fail to read IT DOES NOT COVER ALL SINS. Multitude is not all even according to GOOD OLD ENGLISH WORD.

So as Chosen generation, what are we to do?

Choose to live according to Kingdom principles.

The Kingdom of God is never about eating and drinking (this we will and must do) but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost according to Romans 14:17. If you and I realised this without any preacher manipulating us to think otherwise for their own selfish gain (which again is another gospel – Galatia 1:6-10) we will not be in the mess we all are in today but never mind, Jesus already told us in the parable of the Wheat and the Tares Mathew 13:24-30 the day of Harvest will show the difference.

This message is to help you see life as a believer differently so that when you stand before Him who redeemed you, you will not be ashamed.

Firstly, where ever you are now, is a matter of choice.

You are either a victim of someone’s choice or you made the choice yourself.

If someone made the choice of where to be for you, and you are not living a fulfilled life as a matter of the choice made on your behalf, take your life to Jesus Christ yourself and let Him tell you what to do.

Never allow someone unproductive in their walk with Jesus Christ and ungodly in lifestyle determine where to worship Jesus Christ and how far your life can be as a follower of Him.

You must enjoy the peace of God and His Joy always. These are your rights as redeemed of the Lord after all, why would He die for you and you would still be miserable?

We never know how to please God and live according to His standard hence Christ came to show us and through His Spirit in us enables us daily to live to please God. If all these are not your priorities, I plead with you to make radical changes starting from today.

It is about time you take your spiritual life serious.

He took dying for you and I seriously and did not compromise even when opportunity was given to Him by Pontius Pilate.

There are decisions you cannot make which; has to be made for you depending on your age.

If you are minor under parental guidance, decisions are made for you on major issues which affect every area of your life. What you can do is to pray to God for wisdom and obedient heart towards God’s word for your parents, custodian or guardian.

As member of a church, the decision to advance the cause of Christ is committed to His Shepherd and the leaders of that assembly.

If the cause of Christ Kingdom is not pursued in your church, you can take yourself to Christ and settle your destiny before Him. Remember 2 Corinthian 5:10!

PRAYER:

When you pray for your leaders, their hearts can turn to do the things that please God and in turn bring peace and joy to all under their care.

I know you will probably say to me that how many times do we have to pray for these leaders?  And I will tell you that as many times as you can pray for us.

Moses did not stop to pray for the leaders of the household of Israel including the people even when God Himself wanted to destroy them and raised a new generation through Moses! Left for some of us we would have been glad for such record. Samuel said God forbid he should not pray for Saul.

To pray is a command but what we pray for is another matter.

Why not allow the Holy Spirit to pray through you for your leader. You will be amazed what He will come up with!

After all is done and your leader still bend on self destruction (after all Judas had the Master Himself and still ended up the way he did) use your legs.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE NO ONE ELSE! BE DETERMINED TO MAKE HEAVEN, YOUR PREPARED HOME.

DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO DECIDE OTHERWISE!
