Beloved, if you study the book of Ephesians 6: 1-18 , you will realize that spiritual warfare involves rules of engagement . There are about six rules christians must understand and observe as revealed in Eph 6:1-18 , before engaging in spiritual warfare with satan and his agents. Rule 1: The first rule was revealed in verse 10 saying ...." Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power". Therefore, before we engage in spiritual warfare, we are expected to build up our strength, not in union with our friends, dad, mum, our body guards or the military force of our country, but rather in union with Christ and by means of his mighty power .  If we build up our strength in union with anybody other than Christ, we may likely die or get seriously hurt during spiritual warfare, because spirits are more powerful than human beings and no human can face evil spirits without Christ. Rule 2: The second rule of engagement was revealed ...

Indeed everyone needs the Holy Spirit  24hrs . To  avoid being controlled by human nature  Rom 8:5 . The Holy Spirit is always itching to fellowship with us everyday but we grieve and make 'Him' sad countless times. And the scripture adviced us not to make 'Him' sad. Indeed 'He' is a personality of his own with a work, but 'He's is one with God the Father. Jesus taught many things that we can't remember, but the Holy Spirit is the one who reminds us of what Jesus said. The big question is, ... if I don't read the scriptures in my closet what then will the Holy Spirit remind me?.  Reading must occur before remembering can take place. If the Spirit comes and finds us empty, he will have nothing to remind us. We can't remember all but the Holy Spirit does help as long as we let 'Him'. Our flesh is weak so it's impossible to please God without the Holy Spirit. 'He' comes with power, and enablement to do extraordinary things th...

Beloved, whoever you were called to be, be it priest, pastor, evangelist, bishop etc, do not be annoyed when you preach the gospel and no one pays attention to you. It is very wrong to be angry or condemn people you preach to, simply because they didn't understand or show interest or even pay attention to the word God has annoited you to speak for the good of men and their salvation. You cannot be annoyed on God's behalf. God's anger is enough, yours doesn't count as a preacher or a teacher. The assignment is to speak the word and leave the rest to God, who is the rightful judge.  When Apostle Paul was writing to the Thessalonians (1 Thess 5:14) he wrote, ....."We urge you, our brothers and sisters, to warn the idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone". Beloved, the part of Paul's message that I wish to point out is the part where he said, "be patient with them ". Beloved, that no one listens to you when you preach ...

In our journey in life as christians, we cannot rule out persecution. It has been part of our christian life and this is because from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence (Matt 11:12) This fact has led some christians into asking why Jesus is reffered to as saviour and yet his followers undergo all kinds of persecutions. This has casued many christians to deny their faith while many are still wondering why Jesus should allow his followers experience various kinds of persecution.  In the book of John 15: 20-21, Jesus reminded his followers why persecution will be part of their christan life. He quoted by saying; 20] Remember what I told you: ‘Slaves are not greater than their master.’ If people persecuted me, they will persecute you too; if they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours too.  21] But they will do all this to you because you are mine; for they do not know the one who sent me . The words of Jesus shows clearly that p...

Beloved, if you have given your life to Jesus genuinely, satan will try to remind you of your sinful past. Do not forget that the scriptures referred satan as 'an accuser of brethren'. Beloved, rise up on your feet and fire yourself up with the word of God, which is like fire and hammer that breaks rocks in pieces ( Jeremiah 23 :29 ).  The author of  Psalm 51  realized that he was a sinner. He humbled himself before God and accepted that he has disappointed God. He did not keep mourning his sinful past, but went to express how sorry he was and how much right God has in judging him. He also reminded himself of how much God wanted back a humble and repentant heart by saying in  Psalms 51:17 ........" My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart. ...... Surely, this reassurance of who God is, must have gotten him back on his feet.  Yes sometimes is okay to cry with that deep feeling of regret, especially when we reali...
