Do you want to be rich??

I know your answer is "yes, who dosent want to be rich?"

Now the main issue is " how do I go about it?"

I'm writing this article as am being led by the spirit of God. I may not be able to tell you where exactly the scriptures are quoted in the Bible, but am hundred percent sure that you will find it there.

Firstly the bible tells us to seek ye first the kingdom of God and everyother thing shall be added unto you. I interprete it as when you mind the business of God, God is going to mind your own business, everything you need to be successful in life he is going to put it in your hands.
In your church, are you a worker, do you play musical instruments with an humble heart, are you a chorister that sings with all your heart, are you an usher, are you part of the prayer band team, are you a Sunday school teacher that teaches the word of God and also does the word of God, are you the treasurer, can you give an accurate account of how you manage the church's resources. I have a message the Bible tells us that God is not unjust to forget the labour of the righteous.

Secondly the Bible tells us I think in the book of Genesis that as long as the earth is still in existence sowing time and harvest time will not cease, this tells us that if we do not sow we cannot reap; if there is no time to sow, surely there can't be a time to harvest.
Do we pay our tithes regularly, do we invest towards the work of God, the work of preaching his gospel, our money can also do this. Do we give welfare offerings in the church; or we just leave it to the so called rich people, hmm the rich shall become richer and the poor poorer. When our neighbours ask us for something, and we know we have it at our finger tips, do we give them or ask them to come back, or we tell them we don't have it, hmm and we keep telling God to let us find favour in his eyes and in the eyes of men. Let us endaevour to give freely, the money we use to drink beer the money that if our girlfriends ask us for it we easily give them, but when it comes to giving God it becomes a problem.Let us change.

What can you offer people; people don't value worthless people; wen you help people without the mindset of money; you help them without considering receiving money from them but because of the love for what you do for them; you will see that the quality of the service you render to them cannot be compared to what they will pay for elsewhere, at that point your work will begin to speak for you; then people will begin to come to you with offers you cannot refuse, they are ready to hire you. Now make yourself valuable.

Lastly do not use any fraudulent method to get rich. The end is destruction,remember  whatsoever you sow you shall reap, if you steal from somebody and make him cry, what do you think will happen to you in the future. Let's think about this very well and endaevour  to make clean money.

Our Fortifications

Our Fortifications

What do I mean by fortifications?
They are devices that we put in place against incoming or unknown attackers.
Now the questions are


  • Who are we?
  • Why do we need fortifications?
  • Who are the unknown attackers?
  • How do we fortify ourselves?
Who are we?

John 17:14

I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.


Jesus Christ has made it known here to us that we are not of this world but we are of God. We have recieved the word of God(we are christians), and now the world has hated us for it. Now that the world hates us, they probably would want to harm us just as they did to Jesus. Now this leads us to the second question

Why do we need fortification?


The kind of harm the world might want to use against us might be life threatening, just like what they did to Jesus and his disciples(the matyrs), they might want to make mockery of us.

I'm a Nigerian and just like almost any other place in Africa, I'm not sure about the western region whether they see or experience witchcraft in their environment. Right here in Nigeria due to indigenous cultural practices, some people still believe in demonic and all these ungodly powers, and we have it all around us, some of them claim they use it for good, some of them use it for evil(to avenge those who offends them), some use it for their protection or the protection of their children. The fact is that there are demons behind all these powers. All these results in people having spiritual attacks, I've heard of someone who was beaten with a cane in the dream and when she woke up she saw marks all over her body, arrows are being fired at some people spiritually, and when they wake up they become sick till they eventually die, although if they are taken to churches the prayer band prays for them and they become delivered. Some people are usually oppressed, they would be feeling like as if they can't breath, they wont be able to move their body, they wont be able to shout or speak, many at times would want to shout the name of Jesus, but because they are not spiritually charged with the word of God they will be unable to do so. I have experienced it so many times. All these happens because we lack constant fellowship with God and our sins are separating us from God, and also because we have that problem of identity, We do not know who we are.

Now let us close the chapter of witch craft and all those demonic powers and let us go the the western world where I believe those things are rare. There are sicknesses and diseases that the devil and his agents use against the people of God. We should be ready to fight back and say "by His stripes I am healed". Some people might be implicated by the devil, some people might coincidentally walk into a scene of natural disasters and the likes, for some people it might be the issues of broken homes. Brethren these are all devices the devil uses against the children of God.

Who are the Unknown attackers?

We have one enemy, and that is satan, but he has agents all over the world. His agents could operate in the spiritual and they could manipulate people in the physical to do his work. The Bible lets us know that the devil is going all around the earth, going back and forth in it, and so are his agents. They have come to steal kill and to destroy.

The segment we have being waiting for .

How do we fortify ourselves?

We dont have to make any sacrifices, neither do we have to make any incantations, we do not need to place anything under our pillows before we sleep, neither do we need guns or bodyguards to fortify ourselves. All we need is the word of God. Hallelujah.

We need to exercise the authority and power that God has bestowed on us. We should do this in our prayers. How do we do this? Let us take the scriptures below and master them we can start by using

Psalm 91

Me that dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save me
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover me with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will I find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 I will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at my side,
    ten thousand at my right hand,
    but it will not come near me.
8 You will only observe with my eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If I say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake me,
    no disaster will come near myr tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning me
    to guard me in all your ways;
12 they will lift me up in their hands,
    so that I will not strike my foot against a stone.
13 I will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    I will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”


Let us persona lize the scriptures while we are reading it

1st John 4:4

Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world

Psalm 27:1-3

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
    to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.

Isaiah 59:19b

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against them

Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for my transgressions, he was bruised for my iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Numbers 23:23
There is no sorcery against me neither is there any divination against me

Psalm 118:17

I shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord

Romans 8:32

I am more than conqueror

Isaiah 55:5

Surely I will summon nations I know not, and nations I do not know will come running to me, because of the LORD my God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed me with splendor."

Isaiah 60:1

I arise I shine for my light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon me

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against me in judgment I shall condemn.

Joshua 1:5

No one shall be able to stand before me all the days of my life

How what we think in our hearts affect us

**Proverbs 23:7
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:"

Someone once said: Watch ur thoughts, they form ur words. Watch ur words, they deyermine ur actions. Watch ur actions, they determine ur habits. Watch ur habits, they become ultimately, ur character

You are a direct produce of ur thoughts. You are where you are today because of what u thought of "yesterdays".
That means; we can actually become someone better by "Renewing or changing our Thinking patterns". In times like this, we need to pay attention to our thoughts. And every thought is based on an INFORMATION.
I like breaking down english words; "IN" (when it comes in), "FORMation" (it forms or create a thinking pattern according to its own pattern/source).
My dear, what have you been listening to?
Be decisive and deliberate about what you hear this week. If you hear failure, you'll think failure... If you hear wrongly, u'll think wrongly... If you hear rightly (by the Word of God), there's only one result...Testimonies :D .
Love you, See u @ the top! Hav a Gr8 week

One fact about the Holy Spirit

This is something I feel we should know to increase our knowledge in the Lord Jesus Christ
  • The HolySpirit does not have a name. ''Holyspirit'', ''HolyGhost", are just description's of his person. Do we remember when Jesus said to his disciples "I will pray ask my father to send you another helper in my name". This means that at the mention of the name of Jesus here on earth; the Holy Spirit swings into action.

One Of The Great Reasons To Have The Holy Spirit

Hello, you may be wondering, ''why should i be filled the Holy Spirit?". Our preachers keep preaching about being filled with this Spirit, but how does this enhance my practical life?, how does it move my business forward?, how does it affect my relationship with people?

We have a message for you!!

Exodus 31:1-4

 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze,



After the Lord filled Bezalel with the spirit of God, skill, ability and knowledge in all kind of crafts to make artistic designs with all sort of materials came upon him. The reason for giving them skill and ability in craftmanship is because that was their occupation.

Whether you are a guitarist, a fashion designer, an engineer, a teacher e.t.c.
By the time the Holy Spirit comes down upon you and fills you, you will have unlimited access to numerous kinds of improvisation and knowledge that men have never heard of or seen. Then you become the best in what you do.

This is just one of the numerous reasons and advantages to be filled with the Holy Ghost

I also thought you should know that Bezalel made the ark of the covenant.

Change

All of us experience change in our lives. Change is the one constant in our lives. There are changes that we look forward to and change that we fear. However, one thing is for sure. Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them too. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how to respond. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the change presents.

Declare these words and the devil will flee

Indications: At least twice a day

I know who I am
I am the son of God
I am a royal priest hood
Everywhere i set my foot upon will be mine
No man will be able to stand before me
The Lord will bless those who bless me
He will curse those who curse me
I am a giver of light
Men will be blessed through me
I do not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
I tread upon the lions and cobras
I trample the great lion and the serpent
Surely there is no enchantment against me
Neither is there any divination against my family
A thousand shall fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand
But it shall not come near me
I am a tree planted by streams of water
I yield my fruit in season
My leaf does not wither
In all I do I shall prosper
I will not die but live to proclaim what the loird has done
God has prepared a table before me
In the presense of my enemies
Goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life
I am arising
I am shining for my light is here
Nations will come to my light
Kings shall come to the brightness of my dawn
I am radiant
Riches of the Nations will come to me
Lions may go week and hungry
But I shall lack no good thing
I am highly favored
I am not disadvantaged
Everywhere i go provisions are already made down for me
I am the best
In my going out I am blessed
In my coming in I am blessed
I am not a failure
I am a success
I cannot be sick because by his stripes I am healed
I'm working in power
I'm working in miracles
The devil cannot withstand my light
I am the son of the living God
The unchangeable changer
The rock of my salvation
Hallelujah.
