ARE YOU A GOOD SOLIDERS OF THE CROSS?

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 2:3
Read: 2 Timothy 2:1-4
2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace
that is in Christ Jesus.
2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me
among many witnesses, the same commit thou to
faithful men, who shall be able to teach others
also.
2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good
soldier of Jesus Christ.
2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with
the affairs of this life; that he may please him
who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
MESSAGE
The word 'soldier' appears in the Bible quite
frequently, along with a number of synonymous
terms. A solider is a person involved in military
activity, one who is specially trained for war. In
Bible days, the phrase 'men who drew the sword,'
was commonly used to identify a soldier's
primary function as a combatant and to
symbolise warfare in general. Psalm 91:5-6 the bible says, Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. In This verses, the bible say something about Terrors, "Meaning Witches" .Terrors in that bible verses means the witches ready to destroy and torment people. In the other hand, the witches can also become an Angel defend you if they find you not guilty. Psalm 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. that is the Angle part of it.  Furthermore, Ephesians 6:11-17,
is a Bible reference comparing the weapons of a
fully armed Roman soldier to that of a Christian's
spiritual armour. In recruiting earthly soldiers,
some are chosen while others who are unfit are
dropped. The fact that you are born again shows
that you have scaled through the first selection
hurdle. The next thing is to prove that you are a
good soldier of Jesus Christ. Why? There are bad
soldiers of the Cross. There are many supposed
soldiers in God's army who are no better than
earthly civilians. In 1 Timothy 6:12, Paul enjoins
fellow Heavenly soldiers to fight the good fight of
faith. We have been called into a fight. It is a
fight that is based on your faith in Christ. 2
Timothy 2:4 says:
"No man that warreth entangleth himself with the
affairs of this life; that he may please him who
hath chosen him to be a soldier."
The chosen is also expected to be a soldier.
Therefore, if you cannot fight to resist or
terminate Satan's operation in your life, family or
church, you are a civilian not a soldier. If you
cannot fight for God's promises to be fulfilled in
your life and circumstances, you are a civilian, not
a soldier. Can you imagine a soldier who is armed
and at the battle front drops his weapons, only to
plead with fellow soldiers to assist him in
shooting at his enemies? That is a civilian
soldier! In the Christian faith, there many civilian
soldiers. If you keep relying on others to pray for
you, you are a civilian soldier. If you pay prayer
contractors to go to Prayer Mountains on your
behalf while you are asleep at home, you are a
civilian soldier.
Civilian soldiers make God nauseous. If you are a
soldier of the Cross, you must endure hardness. If
because of little trials- delayed conception, no
money, or some persecution, you decide to call it
quits with your faith in Christ, you become a
deserter, not a soldier. Soldiers are tough and
able to go through tough and difficult terrains.
What would stop civilians cannot stop soldiers.
They are armed, disciplined and operate according
to the orders of their superiors. They are faithful
to their oats to defend and kill identified enemies
of the kingdom. They fight, putting their lives on
the line. The big question that every Christian
must answer with all sincerity is, are you a soldier
of the cross, a deserter, or a civilian?
Prayer Point:
Father, I am determined to be a soldier of the
cross, please help my resolve to stand for you. For information visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

2016 INSANITY LAST WEEK I WROTE SOMETHING ABOUT AGBERO DEMAND PAY FROM NIGERIAN POLICE OFFICER. THIS IS THE PART TWO.

Last week I wrote something about Agbero demand pay from a Nigerian police officer, that load at lagos toll gate. This the second part of it. At benin bypass, the transportation cost is usually cheep because of fuel scarcity, but this time the case become different as we the passenger waited for several hours for a Lagos bus and when the bus finally arrived with one Area boy and a driver. The driver say the bus is N1200 from Benin to Lagos while one woman passenger at the other end reply the bus is N1500, I pulse for a while to see how the drama we end. Meanwhile, I still have the courage to move closer to the driver and the Area boy beside him and asked please driver I want to go Lagos but I have N1000 can I enter your bus, Ojota is my last bus stop, yet the woman passenger and others still reply the bus is N1500 and our last bus stop is shagamu, I enter the bus and pay my own part of bargain and choose Ojota as my own last bus stop while others pay N1500 and choose shagamu as their last bus stop.

DON'T ABUSE BUHARI GOVERNMENT, OUR PROBLEM IS HOW TO MANAGE NIGERIAN ECONOMY

The economy is tight, yet people are still buying cars. People are opening new businesses. People are expanding new frontiers.
Stop complaining! Buhari is not the answer for the hour. You are the driver of your destiny. I have never seen anytime in the history of the human race when there are no hard times. Yet people made waves and affected their generation.

If you see anybody complaining, you see a frustrated lazy man or woman looking for cheap answers and solutions.
Nothing in life will ever come easy. I believe what we need in this period of recession is the drive to push until victory comes. FOCUS- Follow One Course Until Successful.
Many successful people had tried one thing or the other before they became successful.
Keep trying. If you fail, try again. If you fail again, try again. And as you keep trying in the right direction and at the right things, success will surely come.

*WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?*

.
This is a true story that happened in Japan.
.
In order to renovate the house, A Japanese man breaks open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there, because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.
He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time, curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago, when the house was first built!!!
.
*What happened?*
.
The lizard had survived in such position for 5 years!!!
In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling
.
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years without moving a single inch, since its foot was nailed!
.
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating
.
Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
.
Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years.
.
Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 5 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
Imagine what a small creature can do, that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind cannot do.
.
Please, never abandon your loved ones. Don't turn your back on people because they are in difficulty. Don't see yourself as more intelligent or the best, You may be a bit luckier today but life for its uncertainties can change things tomorrow....
.
A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loved you against all odds..
Before you say something just remember... It takes a moment to Break, but an entire lifetime to make....God created space within our fingers so that we can hold hands......

Be there for somebody today. For more gist visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot. com

ARE YOU A RIGHTEOUS IDOL WORSHIPPER?

I wondered why I was in the queue of accused at all. I am intelligent, aggressive, young, totally committed to my God. What am I doing here with this sheet of supposed sins in my hand I wondered?
I don’t drink, I don't smoke, I don’t fornicate, I don’t steal, I am righteous. Others should be here not me.
It was finally my turn to face the Man.
I placed my sheet before Him, He glanced at it and sighed softly.
He looked at me and calmly said, ‘Guilty of idol worship.'
Imagine my anger, my fury, my indignation. I jumped out of the chair and said ‘Of course not! Check the sheet again, check the name, It can't be mine.’
He sighed again and mentioned one of my names that no one knows.
I would not be stopped. It's impossible’ I yelled. I worship only God, the Most High, Maker of heaven and earth, the King of kings and Lord of lords. I bow down to none, I have no talisman, no amulet, no pot underneath my bed.
‘You are guilty of idol worship’ He repeated calmly.
He looked at me, I looked at Him. It seemed like forever. The room was silent. I could hear the clock ticking.
Then slowly I understood.
I am never late for bus/train station or air flight but I am always late to church - I blinked.
My payments to services I enjoy eg:Dstv,phone bills etc, are never late but I haven’t given offerings/tithes in three months - I looked down.
When meeting one of our local chiefs last week I would not even pick a call in the presence of earthly royalty, but I WhatsApp in church
I wouldn’t interrupt my performance appraisal with my boss for anything but I missed church last week because of a series on TV
I wouldn’t let a day end without talking to my spouse but today I just said Hi God, Bye God. And I didn’t even pray last night - The room began to feel hot.
I would never miss going to the bank because of the weather but I missed fellowship on Wednesday and Friday because it was drisilling.
I would wear my party colors to party meetings and not care what anyone thought of me but I hate to talk to my workmates about God because of what they will think of me.
I always have the latest tech gadget you can think of but my bible is so worn out. I can’t even find the book of Jude in my bible anymore.
The last thing to touch before going to bed is my phone and the first thing in the morning....chating on whatapp or replying offline messages. And never bordering to talk with God or reading His word.
I felt so hot in the room, a nervous sweat on my forehead, I felt so ill and weak, all of my anger and self-righteousness was gone, leaving immense guilt in its wake.
I slowly got of the chair and knelt by His feet and said ‘I am sorry, I am guilty as charged, Guilty of idol worship, guilty of placing others; humans, technology before You. I am guilty of idol worship.’
He smiled gently, looked at me with those passionate eyes of His full of love and He gave me a fresh sheet!and said !!Deliver souls!!
Now i want you to share or inform others to alert them as i know they are not aware of what they are doing.
God bless you as you share to deliver souls with me. For more information visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

THE REWARD OF GODLINESS AND CONTENTMENT

But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1st
Timothy 6:6
Read: 1st Timothy 6:6-10, (KJV)
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith
content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation
and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful
lusts, which drown men in destruction and
perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred
from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
MESSAGE
Godliness implies a kind of reverence for or
devotion to God which produces a practical
awareness of God in every aspect of life. True
godliness is a way of life that permeates every
aspect of life, from appearances to actions. A
godly person cannot help but transmit and radiate
godliness in a way that anybody who comes in
contact with him or her will immediately feel the
presence of God. Consequently, deceptive
godliness in speech or action is not compatible
with the Word of God. According to 2nd Timothy
3:5, apparent godliness may not be genuine; the
passage calls it “Having a form of godliness”.
Meanwhile Titus 2:11-12 says:
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world;”
From the above passage, it is clear that godliness
can be interpreted as a measure of the level of
sanctification of a child of God. The Bible in a few
cases used the term “walking with God” to
indicate the level of godliness of some fathers of
faith. Examples of godliness in the Bible include
Enoch in Genesis 5:24:
“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for
God took him”
And Noah in Genesis 6:9:
“…. Noah was a just man and perfect in his
generations, and Noah walked with God.”
God demanded godliness from Abraham in
Genesis 17:1
“…I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be
thou perfect.”
And Abraham in turn confirmed compliance in
Genesis 24:40 with the statement
"...The LORD, before whom I walk..."
Other examples of godliness include Simeon in
Luke 2:25, Anna in Luke 2:37, and Cornelius in
Acts 10:2. Therefore, godliness is mandatory as
an evidence of knowing God and being known by
Him.
According to 1st Timothy 6:6, godliness should be
accompanied by contentment. The Bible teaches
that sorrow for sin is a sign of godliness and
godly living demands self-discipline. The benefits
of godliness cannot be over emphasised, 1st
Timothy 4:8 tells us that godliness is profitable
unto all things, both in this life and in eternity.
Today’s memory verse emphasises that godliness
with contentment brings great gain. It is also a
sure defence against covetousness and all
manners of trials and temptations which is the
main source of backsliding and apostasy in the
Church of God today. May the Lord have mercy!
Prayer Point:
Father, please give me the grace to live above
covetousness and greed in Jesus’ name.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD BY GRACE.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: JOHN 1 :
12.
READ : 1 JOHN 3 : 1 - 3 :1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we  know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
MESSAGE :
The reference to Christians as children of God by the New Testament describes their status and
privileges as the adopted children of God. By this, believers are no longer slaves but children of God
by grace. In this respect, Galatians 4 : 7 - 9 says "Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son;
and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ" And Romans 8 : 15 says : "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." These Bible passages confirm that Christians are children of God by grace and not by merit. I pray that the grace of Abba Father will always be available to work in your favour in Jesus' name. Ephesians 2 : 8 - 9 says our salvation is entirely by grace, not works. This is why God chooses the most unlikely people for Heavenly assignments, just like He chose a persecutor like Saul as a
divine vessel ( Acts 9 : 10 - 18 ). If it wasn't for grace, many of us would never have been called
to salvation, much more become servants of the Most High God. In Jeremiah 1 : 4 - 5, God told this great prophet that he was chosen even before he developed as a fetus in his mother's womb. Before His birth, he had been ordained.God has blessed many with beautiful talents and
abilities, and when they engage such talents, you would be amazed at the result they will birth. As the Potter, He is free to do what He likes with His clay ( Romans 9 : 20 - 21 ). He may decide to
give someone a beautiful voice, while He gives hands that can play the guitar or piano to somebody else. What is most important is yielding totally to the Lord and allowing Him to have His way in your life. Has the Lord endowed you with some talents or unique abilities? Are you
effectively and effectually employing them in serving Him? Always remember that you were
\ chosen not because you are special, but by grace. You are a product of divine choice, so learn to glorify God in everything you do. 1 John 3 : 1 - 2 says : "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." Being called children of God is a privilege that changed our status from darkness to light; we are now led by the Spirit of God to do His will. We have also become heirs of God ( Romans 8 : 17 ). We are fellow citizens with the saints and
household of God.
PRAYER POINT : Father, please let me enjoy the
grace of sonship forever in Jesus’ name.

"AGBERO DEMAND PAY FROM A NIGERIA POLICE OFFICER THAT LOADED AT TOLL GATE". TO END NIGERIA SUFFERING, FUEL PUMPS PRICE MUST BE REDUCE, ( A LIVE WITNESS BLOG AT LAGOS TOLL GATE TODAY).

Are we suffering Buhari government or an APC changes in Government, (people deceived people government ) Yesterday been Thursday the whole shop in Lagos was totally lock up for environmental sanitation, today been 2nd of September 2016, I went to toll gate but to my greatest surprises all I saw was a total drama, between Nigeria Police , Chief Agbero and Military men. At Toll gate, the transportation cost usually cheep but to my greatest surprises today what I saw was different from my previous experience. As of last week, Lagos to Benin is N1000, Lagos to Onitsha is N2000 for buses , while executive cars carries passenger for N2500 and private car owner usually carries any amount and Agbero usually correct N1500 to N2000 for any bus that loaded at that toll gate. But today, the case become different both Benin, Onitsha, Abuja, are at fixed price ( N2000 anywhere you go). I ask why? The drivers and Agbero reply FUEL SCARCITY, I pulse for a why to see how the drama we end. The same time passengers continue trooping in even the Chief, Nigeria policemen, Military Men and Nigeria navy are among those waiting for bus "imagine that in our country!". to worst the situation, one military man with traveling bag fail asleep as he was waiting for bus. on waking up, he was welcome with an AC bus that carry only him to Abuja, while a Nigeria Police man in the other hand parked to carry passengers and Agbero still demand pay from him' "Agbero correct money from a Nigerian police". I was shock when Pajero and Lexus Jeep just parked and carry passengers as well " WHAT?" I'm dreaming. The case become critical when I saw a Nigeria civil Defense man parked with a tokunbo bus without a plate number or a passengers sit but still the passenger rush to enter the bus (nawaoo! For Nigerian government). Lastly one newly Avalon car who intended carrying passenger but was block by an Agbero because he did not pay the fixed N2000 and one police man beside him just watching them exchanging words, as time goes on, A redeem church of God Pastor with a G wagon jeep  parked at the other end to carry passenger while at the other hand, one C class Benz with a mechanic inside parked exchanging words with one bus driver who refuse to carry passengers. Finally Police patrol teams and Press crew are everywhere gathering the updates . Nija Fuel Scarcity problems! Book of Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah For more information visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com
