NIGERIAN RELIGION AND THEIR DOCTRINE. THOSE THAT BELIEVED MUCH IN AN UNSEEN AND THOSE THAT BELIEVED IN SEEN.

It is unfortunate that most people don't know their believed or doctrines , In Nigerian today we have Muslims believers and Christians believers. Those that believed in Bible and Those that believed in Quran. But it is very sad that we don't have time for those our constitutionally books. "THE HOLY BOOKS" all we do is just enter our Mosque and say our prayers for Muslim believers and come out without taking time to read the holy book Quran and for Christians, we enter Church pray and no time for Bible reading .
According to Quran Sura 2:2-5 This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those whoward off [evil].
3.Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We havebestowed upon them;
4.And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee [Muhammad] and that whichwas revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5.These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
According to these verse it was clear that Muslim brethren believed much in an UNSEEN or SPIRITUAL. some Muslim believers take time to study and analysed it why some do not have time for the analysis which in most cases give NEGATIVE RESULT and at the end, it may lead to misunderstanding. For those who take their time to analysed it always get ACCURATE RESULTS.
While for Christians , they believed in SEEN, non SPIRITUAL .
According to the Bible Ephesians 6:12 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. Meaning they fight against the UNSEEN. This is the reasons why most Prophet or Prophetess when consulting we not tell you who is responsible for your problems. All they do is counselling and at the end give you a prayers point to follow up
Furthermore, Bible and Quran are sword of double edge, when you find yourself in the other side of it, your next step is reconciliation in the other words means asking for Mercy.
According to Quran , for Muslim brethren, Sura 76:31
31.He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepareda painful doom. While for Christians brethren Psalm 51:1-2
51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Meanwhile when talking about spiritual or an Unseen hardly you predict or get accurate result, for instance, a fornicator or an Adulteration is seen as a Spiritual things you cannot say I caught him or her when you are not inside the room with them, is only your thought that we indicate and as well remind you of the wrong doing that is if you care to know or listening to your heart . Read Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. for more understanding visit A Generation of young Christians by clicking here

WATCH AND PRAY, THAT YE ENTER NOT INTO TEMPTATION

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. MATTHEW 26 : 41. READ : REVELATION 3 : 1 - 6 :
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven
Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest,
and art dead.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found
thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore
thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will
come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall
walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name
out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
MESSAGE :
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the most practical personality that has ever lived on the earth. This
should not be surprising, since He is both God and man; He came to show us the way to live a
victorious and fulfilled life. He affirmed that He came that we may have life and to have it more
abundantly ( John 10 : 10 ). In the Lord’s letter to the Church at Sardis, He
told the Church that they were living in self- delusion; that they thought they were vibrant and
full of life, whereas, they were half dead and something must be done urgently to preserve the remaining half of their lives, because their works were not perfect before God. They were to watch and pray to rejuvenate their spirituality. Our compassionate Lord, who would not want anyone, particularly those who have confessed Him as Lord to perish is here in today’s reading appealing to and warning the Church to
remember how they started and hold fast the Word of truth. One lesson here is that God is not interested in the death of a backslider but that the backslider should repent and be saved.
“Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you; and I will take you one of a
city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.” Jeremiah 3 : 14.
Another interesting lesson we must learn from today’s reading is that the Almighty God knows
the state and details of our lives, both spiritually and physically. In spite of the indictment of the imperfect works of the Church at Sardis, the Lord still revealed the truth that not all the members of
the Church were corrupt. “Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.”
Revelations 3 : 4. The accurate judge said that there are names ( though few ) that are worthy! I pray that you will be declared worthy in Jesus’ name. However, you have to watch over your soul in this pervert
generation and pray always if you will be worthy at the end of the age. Moreover, the Lord promised that He would judge individuals in the church, according to each person’s deeds. There shall be no collective responsibility when it comes to spiritual accountability. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father; neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him.” Ezekiel 18 : 20.
ACTION POINT : Since the Lord knows your works; take a self-examination of yourself and
see where you need to repent, watch and pray for restoration.

STOP YOUR EVIL DEED AND MAKE PEACE

According to Quran Sura 2:6 - 12 As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it isall one for them; they believe not.
7.Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there isa covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.

8.And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not.
9.They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.
10.In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie.
11.And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: Weare peacemakers only.

*SEVEN LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....*

1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*
They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.
*MEANING*; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.
2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.* They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
*MEANING*; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.
3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.*
*MEANING*; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.
4. *Eagles Love the Storm.*
When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.
*MEANING*; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.
5. *When a Female Eagle Meets a Male Eagle* and they want to mate, she flies down to earth, picks a twig and flies back into the air with the male eagle in hot pursuit. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she drops the twig and let it fall to the ground while she watches. The male eagle chases after the twig and catches it before it reached the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much higher altitude and drop the twig again for the male eagle to chase. This goes on for hours with the height increasing each time until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of picking the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then will she allow him to mate with her.
*MEANING*; Whether in private life or business, one should test the commitment of the people intended for partnership.
6. *Eagles Prepare for Training;*
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest.
*MEANING*; Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth there.
7. *When the Eagle Grows Old,*
His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.
*MEANING*; We deliberately need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us and add no value to our lives should be let go of.
*YES, NEVER GIVE UP,*
*BE AN EAGLE, NEVER EVER GIVE UP !!!* for more inspirational quote visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

THE PAINS OF SECOND DEATH AND THE CROWN

He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the Churches.
REVELATION 2 : 29.
READ : REVELATION 2 : 8 - 11 :
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna
write; These things saith the first and the last,
which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
(but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but
are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt
suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you
into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall
have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
MESSAGE :
The Almighty Father knows all that we do,
nothing we do is hidden from Him. This should
make us rejoice because it means that our Master
knows our works, ( assuming that our works are
good) and He will appreciate and commend us for
them. In other words, even if people don’t
appreciate us or if they misunderstood us, God
never misunderstands. In Revelation 2 : 9, the
Lord sent a message of goodwill to the Church in
Smyrna :
“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
( but thou art rich ) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but
are the synagogue of Satan.
There are beautiful things to note from the above
scripture: Jesus knows about the tribulation we
are passing through. Little wonder one of the
saints of old wrote a hymn titled : “There’s not a
Friend like the Lowly Jesus.” The Chorus reads :
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one!
Another interesting thing about Bible
reading is the courage that the Master gave to
the Church in Smyrna. He said : “Fear none of
those things which thou shalt suffer….be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of
life.” Beloved, this is a message from Jesus, the
Lover of your soul. Before this time, in John 16 :
33, Jesus made a categorical statement void of
ambiguity :
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me
ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.”
Jesus further assured us of the great reward of
escaping the second death if we will strive to
overcome ( Revelation 2 : 11 ). May the Lord help
us to overcome in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT : Father, strengthen my inner man
so that I may stand strong till the very end.

IN THE LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM FAITH

: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils; 1 TIMOTHY 4 : 1.
READ : REVELATION 2 : 12 - 17 :
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write; These things saith he which hath the sharp
sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,
even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast
my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in
those days wherein Antipas was my faithful
martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan
dwelleth.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because
thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of
Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a
stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat
things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit
fornication.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine
of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will fight against them with the sword of my
mouth.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and in the stone
a new name written, which no man knoweth
saving he that receiveth it.
MESSAGE :
In the Bible reading, Jesus Christ commended the
Church in Pergamos, reassuring them that
nothing about them is hidden from Him. The
interesting thing about this Church is that in spite
of the nearness of the Church to the seat of
Satan, they still held on to the Name of Jesus
Christ, they never denied their faith even in the
face of terrible persecution. However, Jesus
Christ had a serious allegation against them.
They tolerated in their midst those who were
holding on to and practising false doctrines. This
is a food for thought for Christians of the 21st
century. In this end-time, we compromise a lot of
the apostolic orthodox in the name of civilization
and fundamental human rights. We have forgotten
that just as God is not a democrat, He is also not
a human activist. He has His set of rules that we
must abide by, however, we compromise this
divine standard because we think we can through
that, win these blasphemers into the Kingdom.As
a matter of fact, because we have tolerated them
so much, they now see themselves as Christians
too, setting worldly standard for the Church as
they dangle their wealth at the saints.
Will Jesus not hate such a compromise in the
name of magnanimity when it becomes a
stumbling block to the saints? The saints are
living their first love because of the doctrine of
Balaam. This compromise spoiled the good works
of the Church in Pergamos. In Revelations 2 : 16,
Jesus warned the Church :
“Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and
will fight against them with the sword of my
mouth.”
One major revelation in this passage is that the
message of repentance was preached to the
Church in Pergamos. We are hereby encouraged
to heed this warning too, so that we can
overcome these temptations through genuine
repentance. When we overcome, our reward will
be the hidden manna and a testimonial of
perfection written on precious stone.
Beloved, do not be deceived by your longevity in
Church. God knows your works and He will
reward you accordingly.
ACTION POINT : Father, help me to disassociate
myself from worldly pollution.

REPENT OF YOUR EVIL, FOR EVILDOER'S HAS NO REST.

The ways evils are increasing in this world particularly Nigerian if care is not taking, religions in Nigeria we be things of past, for what is been written in the bible is as simple as that of Qur'an. The reason while most of us get into temptation is that we do not make time to study our holy books. All we do is enter mosque pray come out while some enter churches pray after services you carry your bag find a way to your home. Evil people keep on increasing, we always forget that at last day each person we give account of his doing.

According to Quran, Sura 76: 31.He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepareda painful doom. Also the same thing written in the book of Ecclesiastes 10:8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

THE BELIEVER'S AUTHORITY PART ONE

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. LUKE 9 : 1.
READ : LUKE 9 : 1 - 6 :
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
MESSAGE :
A believer's power and authority are two potent legacies that are highly irresistible beyond any man's imagination. However, it is unfortunate that many children of God do not recognize them. This is the reason why the devil batters them on every side. As a result of this ignorance, the victor becomes a victim of circumstances. I pray for someone using this blogspot; you will never be a victim of circumstances in Jesus' name.
Power is the ability to perform a function and this is what Jesus Christ has made available to all His genuine disciples.
Authority is more valuable than power because you can have the ability to do something, but if you don't have the authority, you may not be able to. For example, with the power of the gun, you can hunt wildlife in the jungle, but if you are not licensed to hunt and you do, you may be jailed. In John 5 : 25 - 27 the Bible says :
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man."
Interestingly, according to today's memory verse, this power and authority to perform have been given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ :
"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."
When a ( so called ) child of God is now caught in situations that are unbecoming of a saint and he then says "it is the work of the devil!" such a believer does not know the authority he has. The power to live above sin is made available through the work of redemption that Jesus Christ wrought at Calvary. The Bible says in 1 John 3 : 8 :
"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
When you come to Jesus Christ and you believe that He came to save you from the power of sin, He will not only forgive you, but will also give you the power to go and sin no more ( John 8 : 11 ). This is the assurance that we have; that the grace of Jesus Christ will deliver us from the dominion of sin ( Romas 6 : 14 ). My prayer is that you will not be beaten by the power of sin in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINT : I prophecy to my life: I will no longer be a victim of sin, but a victor in Christ Jesus. For more information visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

DIVINE PARTNERSHIP.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
PSALMS 41 : 1.
READ : PSALMS 41 : 1 - 3 : 1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the mLord will deliver him in time of trouble. 2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
MESSAGE :
When is the link between divine partnership and consideration of the poor? As we may know,
divine partnership has to do with partnering with the Almighty God. What is the connection
between being in the same business with God and our attitude towards the poor? In our Bible, we discover that when we remember and help the poor, the Lord will deliver
us from trouble. The reason is that the Almighty God watches over the poor and listens to their cry.
When you respond to the cry of the poor, you are responding on behalf of their Maker who will in
return replenish your pocket. The Bible says in Proverbs 19 : 17 : “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay
him again.” Another thing that will happen to someone in divine partnership is that the fellow shall be preserved. The tendency is high and it is common to many cultures that the poor live at the mercy
of the rich. In Isaiah 3 : 14, the Bible says : “The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the
poor is in your houses.” So, when someone decides to take care of the poor instead of maltreating them, the Lord will preserve the fellow so that he can continue the good work. The one who panthers with God in
taking care of the poor earns longevity for himself. The Lord promised in His Word that whoever spares the poor of violence shall live. The Bible says that the poor shall never cease out of the land, therefore, He commanded us to remember the poor and the needy ( Deuteronomy 15 : 4 -
11 ). When we partner with God in taking care of the poor, the Lord will bless us mightily beyond
our wildest imagination. Another blessing which accrues from partnering with God via taking care of the poor, is that the Lord promised to deliver us from the will of our
enemies. Every right thinking fellow will do all things possible to keep a dutiful servant alive.
Divine healing is the portion of whoever will take it upon himself to care for the poor on behalf of
God. The Lord promised to visit the caretakers of the poor on their sick beds if at all they become
sick; and when He visits, healing is guaranteed. The Lord also promised to make your bed for you if you will remember the poor and meet him at the point of his or her need. Beloved, there are many
ways whereby we can partner with God; caring for the poor is one.
We can learn a lesson from developed countries that take care of the poor. They are more
comfortable than those countries which have no plan for the poor in the land. This is a food for thought for developing countries.
ACTION POINT : Draw up a charity plan for the
poor around you and prayerfully embark on
helping them in your own little way.

THE BELIEVER'S AUTHORITY PART TWO

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19
Read: Luke 10:17-20 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the
spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
MESSAGE
As it was pointed out yesterday, the power and the authority which Jesus Christ has made
available to believers can not be imagined by natural minds. Some people subject themselves to long life bondage because they are looking for power and protection outside Jesus. Hebrews
2:14-15 says: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the
devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." One of my spiritual children testified that it was the grace of Jesus Christ that prevented him from entangling himself in occultism. Before he met the Lord, he had determined to join as many secret societies as could be found on earth, to ensure his security. Fortunately for him, he met the Lord
and he is now exercising the authority of a believer. Beloved, the believer's authority is yours if you
genuinely accept Jesus Christ. This authority was given to us without measure. Our Lord said He has given to us authority over all the powers of the enemy and that nothing will by any means hurt us. When we rely on this, we will leave our lives in peace even in the midst of a storm. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the boat, it will not capsize. However, we must use the authority to our advantage. The story was told of a man who
inherited magical powers to ward off evil and the spell whoever might want to harm him on a
journey which he set for himself. As he started on the journey, he sighted robbers, instead of putting
the magic power to use, he started shivering, and cringing. His wife then burst into a song
"encouraging" her husband to keep on shivering because that is how he usually shivers to kill hundreds and thousands. The robbers, taking the song to be true of the man, ran away for their lives. And that was how the woman saved the day for her husband. The lesson we should learn from this story is that, though the authority to conquer the devil and his cohorts are available,
unless we exercise it in holy boldness, we remain as powerless as though it isn't available. To exercise authority over sickness, demonic oppression, poverty and all unpleasant situations,
we need to be believers indeed by being born again through faith in Jesus Christ our Saviour. Also, we need to live according to the Word of God. We must be doers of the Word because it is the authority of the Word that we honour that can help us in the times of trouble.
Action Point:
Begin to exercise faith the Son of the living God,
and you will experience the supernatural.

The name of the Lord is a strongtower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
PROVERBS 18 : 10.
READ : 1 SAMUEL 17 : 38 - 47 :38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he
put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them
off him. 40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put
them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew
near to the Philistine. 41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto
David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw
David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air,
and to the beasts of the field. 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head
from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the
air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.
MESSAGE :
One unfortunate thing about the spiritual warfare of this end-time is that many warriors of the Cross use weapons that have not been proven. As a result, they either die on the battlefield or
become prisoners of spiritual wars. Many of us are familiar with the story of David
and Goliath, but it is possible that we missed one or two lessons in the story. As we continue to read and mediate on this popular story, we can gain insights into more reasons why the story was recorded for us to learn from. The first lesson we can learn is the fact that king Saul, as bad as his state of spirituality might have been as at that time was very concerned about the
safety of the young man who was proving to be a “dare devil”. He put on David the weapons of his
own defence. The question is; if this armour could help, how come the original owner did not use it to free his nation from the threat of the giant? We can quickly learn that it is a curse to be under a
weak or discouraged leader. What saved the day was that David realised that the battle was not just a physical battle. So, he quickly turned spiritual in his approach to the battle with, (humanly speaking) the most ridiculous weapon of war. In fact, Goliath himself felt that the battle had turned to a comic drama. 1 Samuel 17 : 42 - 43. “And when the Philistine looked about, and saw
David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth,
  and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.” Another lesson, particularly from the above
scripture is that in spite of the disdainful weapon that David was carrying, Goliath still employed his spiritual allies; he cursed David by his gods. How I wish that all children of God will realise that it is not the grammar of the language they use that will do the work of conversion; it is by the Spirit of our God. Human methods have never worked in the history of the Church, men and women of God who succeeded in the ministry were those who allowed the Spirit rather than self might, power or administrative acumen to lead in their ministries. David was a better match for this warrior who was fighting through the spirit of divination and sorcery. He said: “…Thou comest to me with a\ sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” The end of the story was victory for Israel and great defeat for the Philistines. David used the weapon he had proven and found to be true; the name of the Lord.
ACTION POINT : Use the Name of the Lord to
confront the battles you are facing today and you
will see them crumble before you. The Name is
lethal.

GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST LOVE).

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou has left thy first love.
REVELATION 2 : 4. READ : REVELATIONS 2 : 1 - 5 :
1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them
which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,m because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I
will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
MESSAGE :
Many people think of a high level of sin and crime when we talk of backsliding, whereas to backslide does not require going into heinous sins as some erroneously think. What is backsliding? Simply
defined, backsliding is failure to do the good things you were doing before. James 4 : 17says : “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
It becomes a serious matter when you have started doing a good work and you stop doing it;
that is backsliding in its practical form. This was the situation in the Church at Ephesus. The Lord
commended their labour, their patience and their zero tolerance for evil. The Lord also knew how
careful they were in scrutinizing and distinguishing between true and false apostles. In
other words, they did not take any message in the Name of the Lord if they were not persuaded in
the Holy Ghost about its authenticity. They held fast the faith, labouring to defend it without compromise. However, the Lord had something against them; they had left their first love. As a
Christian, where is your first love? Is it still intact or have you left it for the theology of relativism? Is the end justifying the means of your livelihood? Your Church is swelling up in attendance after you compromised the faith. Those who you could not tolerate on God’s altar are those that are
frequently invited. Those singers that you could never allow near God’s sanctuary are those who
now frequently “minister” in songs to your congregation. Where is your first love? The
Master in Revelation 2 : 5 is saying :
“Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will
come unto thee quickly, and will remove they candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
In the past, Christians didn’t walk in the counsel
of the ungodly. They didn’t stand where sinners stood, and they didn’t sit at the forum of the
scornful ( Psalms 1 : 1 ). Nowadays, Christians promote and applaud jesting and ungodly jokes.
We seem to have forgotten that not only doers will be punished but also those who love the
doers. Romans 1 : 28, 32 says : “…Who knowing the judgment of God, that they
which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them
that do them.” Beloved, we should never allow our love for Christ go cold. Let us go back to our first love and be ready to suffer fleshy loss so that we can ultimately win Christ.
PRAYER POINT : Father, please forgive me in
anyway I have backslide and restore me to my
first love for You and Your Kingdom.

WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1 CORINTHIANS 11 : 1. READ : PHILIPPIANS 3 : 14 - 19 : 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already
attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they
are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
MESSAGE :
One thing that thrills me about the Bible is that it is a library of books that confirms that there is no new thing under the heaven. Everything good, bad and ugly have happened before and they are written so that we can learn from them. We have had many leaders in both secular and religious
history; we still have leaders in the present age. The question is; who is your role model? Show me your model and I can tell you who you are. In the Bible, we read about someone who was bold enough to tell his
audience to follow him because he was a follower of the Greater Master, Jesus. He went further to
tell the Philippians what he did with his life: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3 : 13 - 14.
In his effort to please his Master and Lord, the apostle said that those things which were gain to him, he counted as nothing so that he may win Christ and His righteousness. He aspired to
become like Jesus Christ to the point of no return. He said in Philippians 3 : 10 :
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,    being made conformable unto his death.” We can learn many things from the life of this apostle: If we look at the dramatic change that followed his encounter with Jesus Christ on the way to Damascus, we cannot help but ask
whether we plan to go to the same heaven with this soldier of the Cross. His memoirs are clearly
  written in 2 Corinthians 11 and 12. He spoke in part about the price of not only his discipleship but also of his apostleship, as he talked of a thorn in his flesh that buffeted him and then concluded in 2 Corinthians 12 : 9 - 10 by saying : “And he said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for
thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for
when I am weak, then am I strong.” Beloved, who is your role model? We have living
role models in the present age; those that are sold to the righteousness attainable only in
Christ, those who have not corrupted themselves with the affairs of this life. Their lifestyles may
not be amiable but if we follow them, our heavenly destination is guaranteed. Paul, the
apostle under study, warned us thus in Philippians 3 : 17 :
“Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark mthem which walk so as ye have us for an
example.” The reason he gave was that many, even as early as the first century Church did not walk uprightly.

As it was in the beginning so it is now. Therefore,
beloved, watch out for good role models and  pattern your life after them as they do after
Christ.
ACTION POINT : Look among Christian leaders
and find out those living according to Christ’s
doctrine. Follow their footsteps.

FAITH LIKE A CHILD'S ?

And said, Verily I say unto you,Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. MATTHEW 18 : 3. READ : MATTHEW 18 : 1 - 6 :1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
MESSAGE :
The child-like faith is what everybody requires, not only to make it to heaven but also to enjoy his or her days on the earth. If we do not believe this because it sounds illogical, we must believe it
because Jesus said it. What is then required of us is to pray for the kind of faith that is comparable with that of a little child. The first thing about a little child is that he is very trusting. In my living room several years
ago, there used to be a portrait of a little child looking innocent with the inscription; "No Problem". The faith that will enable us not to see problems but see only God who specialises in solving problems is the best for us. Another characteristic trait of little children is that they forgive easily. Unlike adults who keep malice,
children forgive and forget the wrong done to them almost immediately after it's done. The
Bible says in Ephesians 4 : 32 : "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Children fulfil this Biblical injunction freely. Children could be very generous with their things except in some unusual occasions. Without knowing the spiritual implication of their actions, children are tender hearted with their peers. This is exactly what God wants from us. In Colossians 3 : 12 - 13, the Bible also says : "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one
another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye." There are many blessings we will access from the throne of God our Father if we can begin to take after children. For example, if we freely forgive
those who wrong us like a child will do, our prayers will receive quick answers from God. In
Mark 11 : 25, Jesus Christ said : "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
This instruction that comes from our Lord is simply saying that before we pray, we must first forgive! We can see thee reason many of our prayers are not answered; we refuse to forgive. I pray that any reader of this blog will find grace to forgive and be kind hearted in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINT : Father, please help my faith and
transform me to be able to forgive freely and be
tender hearted in Jesus’ name.

YOUR ENEMIES MUST SURRENDER!

Ecclesiastes 10:8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

Below is the ICT  images.

 below is my Delta corporate images

below is my Lious Valentino Limited Corporate dressing

Since the managing Director of Lious Valentino Limited beside Punch news paper Magboro Ogun employed me as an Executive Assistance on September 2015 and later sack me after working for two weeks without Warning letter ,Payment or Query as demanded by Nigerian labour law, I hired a lawyer ,invited Nigerian Police, told Rev.

One months after the termination of the appointment, my Cyber Cafe / I C T center fold up. I remain indoor for 6 months without pay or any sources of income yet i go church pay my tithe and Offering. On June 2016, I decided to quit churches pray inside my house read my bible etc since one Pastor Advice me to quit my job become a pastor by undergoing a pastor school but he didn't provide any means of paying my school fees, utility bills or means of paying my house rentage . i have to employed myself as sales Representative in one remote company located at Delta state with three to six month probation period as demanded by Nigerian labour.

According to the Offer letter and job description, my duties including moving from one community to another why on the work. Meanwhile i encounter a lot of challenges and as well got a lot of experiences, I was also doing well at the job for the first three months. One day I visit a community called Mosugar at delta state, as a stranger that i am in that community, I interview one of the community guys but to my greatest surprises, the response i got from him was "this community didn't have a constant electricity for the past 2 months so this your business can't move here!" i over look the response and keep on marketing my product, after several hours of stress i interview another person to confirm the response of the other person still the response i got was almost the same "this community, majority of them depends only on Generator as sources of power supply, no Electricity for the past two to six months this your product can only sell to generator users.

On getting there, the remote that I needed is been sold sold for N300 while his retailing price is N500. I brought the remote from him and left to prospect another customer but to my surprises I still get same response that the remote is been sold for N300 at Ajangodo. Hmmmmm.
Finally, about three customers that previously brought a remote from me ask for their money hence I didn't have another remote to replaced the one I sold for them, i peacefully return their money in other to maintain a good relationships them.

THIEVES IN THE SANCTUARY PART TWO

Thou therefore which teachest another; teachest not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, does thou steal? Romans 2:21 Read: 1st Samuel 2:12-17, (KJV)
2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. 2:13 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in
seething, with a flesh hook of three teeth in his hand; 2:14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or
caldron, or pot; all that the flesh hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. 2:15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 2:16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
2:17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
MESSAGE
The worst of all thieves in the church are the ministers who take the tithes, offerings and the first-fruits collected from member for their personal use. You hear them say, “He who serves at the Altar must eat from the Altar.” As true as this statement may be, custodians of the Lord’s sanctuary should be wary of greed and the love of money. 1st Timothy 6:10-11 says: “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. But thou, O man of God, flee all things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience, meekness.”
In the Bible reading , the children of Eli corrupted the people’s sacrifice through greed.
Unfortunately, the same thing is happening today; some ministers of God, through greed, have made the tithes, offerings and first-fruits that people bring to the sanctuary unacceptable to God. Sometimes, members of the congregation suspect this foul play and begin to ask the ministers in charge what they use their tithes and offerings for. Though the ministers should be accountable to God through men, however, the tithes and offerings become an abomination before the Lord when the givers monitor it to the extent of wanting to know what God does with it. This is the reason some people claim to be paying their tithes and offerings and there is nothing to show for their giving. In Matthew 6:3-4, Jesus Christ said: “But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”
It is dangerous when brethren are not being encouraged or motivated to give more because they do not have anything to show for their previous giving. This happens when they begin to develop a negative attitude towards the way their pastors handle the finances of the Church. Some people leave their local assembly to go and pay their tithes and offerings elsewhere. This is counterproductive. Hence, the ministers handling
God’s assets must be very careful. They must not become thieves in the sanctuary. The Lord enjoins us to fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life whereunto we have been called, and keep away from the love of this world. If it is dangerous to rob God by not paying our tithes and offering, it is deadly to steal out of the one that the brethren are faithfully contributing for the advancement of the Kingdom business. We must learn from the children of Eli and the children of Samuel himself (1st Samuel 8:1-5).
Prayer Point
Father, please deliver me from the demon called
mammon and don’t let me end up like Judas
Iscariot.

NIGERIAN ECONOMY AND FINANCES

It is no longer news that financial noose has been tightened around the neck of Nigeria economy.
In a time of Change, there is the need for attitudinal twist to avert being swept away by sudden economic tide.
1. If you are an applicant take the next available offered job even if it is below your dream job.
2. Buy only items that are considered as necessities. Postpone all luxurious articles till later dates.
3. Forget about living a life to satisfy others' expectation at the expense of your purse, income or convenience.
4. Avert taking unnecessary risk in your place of work or business that has the possibility of making you loose your job or major client.
5. Be committed to your profession, job or business more than ever before.
6. Re-evaluate your recurrent expenditure pattern like children school fees and effect necessary changes if found beyond your income line.
7. If you are blessed with many cars try and use those with less fuel consumption capacity. You may have to combine outings instead of members of the family taking different cars out for combinable outings.
8. Except you can afford it, resist all Aso Ebi or color of clothes made mandatory by a person inviting you to a ceremony. Nobody will prevent you from entering the venue even with odd dress.
9. Avert social functions that will tell terribly on your finances in terms of distance and the content of the Programme. Why not just send 'envelope' to the organizer instead.
10. Let those asking you for money know that things are no longer the same: stop pretending at your expense. Stop suffering in silence. When the chips are down you will be alone.
11. Notwithstanding any promise to the contrary, avoid lending money to anyone an amount which if you don't receive on time will hurt your financial stability. Many friendly loans will be irrecoverable now as many expectation will be dashed.
12. If you are a tenant living in a rented palatial apartment with many rooms left unutilized, it is high time you get a smaller accommodation.
13. Where the house is yours and most of your children are adult leaving you and your spouse in a big apartment with less than half of the house being utilized, quickly consider modifying the house into smaller units with the possibility of earning rental income.
14. Plan only on funds at hand, avoid permutations based on promise made by others. In a time like this, the promisor may fail.
15. Where it is possible, talk things over on phone with people rather than putting your car on the road for physical meeting. In addition avoid endless fruitless banters on phone. Be conscious of the call card cost and data usage.
16. If you have a large retinue of hangers-on around you reduce the frequencies of meals.
17. Shut all lights that are not required in your house to minimize the energy bills.
18. Do more physical exercise to minimize constant requirement of drugs. Learn to trek short distances, it helps to improve your health and relive you of avoidable small expenses.
19. If the regular food in your house is becoming dearer look for alternative. For instance yam is a substitute for bread in the morning
20. If you will bear heavy responsibility in an event, insist on moderate programme in line with the amount you could afford, you could save some finances. For more gist visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

A Generation of Young Christians:

_1. We are always right and we never *accept correction*. A corrector is seen as an enemy._
*2.* We love to sing in Church, but *do not read our Bible* at home.

*3.* We are full of *lust, sensuality and emotions* and we call it love.
*4.* We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are 25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we may have had *more* boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents.
*5.* Sexual activities are *now part of our relationships* calling it romance.
*6.* We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we *spend all our finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc,* which in many cases we uses less than 30% of their functions.
*7.* We do not pay our *tithes and offerings* claiming we are students.
*8.* We say we are Christian men & women but *dress like hollywood stars* and we call it fashion.
*9.* We love *pleasures* rather than God.
*10.* In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing slow songs which we call worship but *on our phones in our pockets,* you will see pics of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a nice way of justifying it.
*11.* We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because *our hearts have been hardened* by the deceitfulness of sin and pride.
But God foresaw these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3 That *In the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.*
We need to change our ways, we have *no excuse on judgement day. For more information visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

THIEVES IN THE SANCTUARY

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing
which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Ephesians 4:28
Read: Malachi 3:8-9
3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In
tithes and offerings. 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
MESSAGE
One sad thing going on among the children of God is that some are stealing from the sanctuary
of God and the people concerned are doing it with impunity. There are many ways a person can steal from the sanctuary of God. The most common way to almost every Bible reading Christian is when you deny God one-tenth of your income, Malachi 3:8
says: "Willa man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes
and offerings." When someone eats all his income without giving back one out of ten of it, the fellow is stealing from the sanctuary, because the tithe belongs to
the sanctuary of God. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Malachi 3:10
Another way of stealing from the sanctuary is by refusing to give your first-fruit to the Lord as He
requested from His covenant people in
Deuteronomy 26:2: "That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the
LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there." Some people will argue that the ordinance of the
first fruit belong to the Old Testament era. I have always asked them about the numerous promises
of God in the Old Testament which they often quote and claim to their advantage.
For example, I asked some of them who took me up on whether the promise of being "the head and
not the tail" isn't found in the New Testament. Or "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." which is also in the Book of Matthew. The truth of the matter is that the scriptures which are favourable to the flesh are easily quoted and claimed. Those that take the steam out of their so called personal freedom and finances are
pushed to the background. The first fruit is the property of the Almighty God in His sanctuary. We must give it to Him through the the custodians of the genuine sanctuary of God. I pray for someone
using this devotional; the Holy Spirit will convince you of the truth about tithes, offerings and first
fruit.
Prayer Point:
Father, help me to abstain from stealing from your sanctuary, and help me to perform the required restitution for the damage I have done to your honour, when I denied you of your tithes,
offerings and first fruits. For more visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

DIVINE PROVISION.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19.
READ : MATTHEW 17 : 24 - 27 : 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of
the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and
thee.
MESSAGE :
Divine provision is in play when you know that what you have is not by your strength, power or
ability. For example, when you work like a rat and you get the wages of an elephant without being fraudulent, you can be sure that the blessing is from above. On the contrary, when a man works like an elephant and all he can show for his labour is the wages of a rat, you can be sure that the fellow needs divine provision. The reason for the last scenario is the fall of man which earned him a curse associated with poverty and suffering. As a matter of fact, every man, particularly a child of God, needs divine provision to be able to make ends meet. This is the reason Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, told the Church at Philippi that God will supply all their needs according to His riches in Glory through Jesus Christ, who has taken care of the sin that brought
hardship and insufficiency to the life of man. Divine provision begins with the provision God made for the atonement of our sins. God gave His only begotten Son as provision for our sins. John
3 : 16 - 17 says :
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." Having settled the problem of sin, the Lord now makes available to us the abundance of His riches. The death of Jesus Christ cancelled the curse that subjected us to a life of penury and made available to us divine provision. 2
Corinthians 8 : 9 says : "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might
be rich." He demonstrated this by the thousands he fed with that incredibly small meal which He multiplied just so that the need of the people will be met. Also, in the Bible reading for today, divine provision came forth to meet His personal need and that of Peter from the mouth of a fish. I pray for someone reading this devotional today; the Almighty will cause His divine provision to come
upon you and meet you at the point of your needs
in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, I present my needs to you today, please
meet them all in Jesus' name.

POSSESSED BY DEMON

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about
doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38
Read: 1 Samuel 16:14-23 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 16:15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 16:16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is
a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 16:17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.16:18 Then answered one of the servants, and
said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the
LORD is with him. 16:19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 16:20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. 16:21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. 16:22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed,
and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
MESSAGE
The use of the term "demon possessed" in the Bible is always in reference to a person operating under the influence of a demon or evil spirit. The Bible describes demons as evil, spiritual beings or
malevolent forces that are opposed to God, and are in the habit of influencing human beings to disobey God. However, demons always bow in the presence of God. If you study how demons related with Jesus Christ and His disciples in the Bible, you will observe that they recognized God's presence in Jesus Christ and His disciples and they surrendered without much argument. I have always told my children that if we have enough of His presence in us, demons will flee when they sight us, how much more when we command them to go. In Mark 5:1-6, when Jesus stepped on the shores of the Gadarenes, a very notorious; heavily demon possessed mad man immediately reported to Him even before He said a word. As a matter of fact, until you carry a higher level of His presence in your life, you may not realize the activities of the demons in your environment. Believe it or not, they are everywhere, performing their negative assignments. But as God increases His presence in your life, there will be commotion because demons recognize the presence of God
and they can't be at rest in His presence. Even in Church, while God's anointed Word is being taught powerfully, demons will not be able to withstand the power in the Word, this happened
when Jesus was teaching in the synagogue in Mark 1:21-26. One day, Paul and his co-
labourers in God's vineyard were on their way to a prayer meeting when the spirit of divination in a
young lady became restless because of God's Presence in them. If only you carry a higher level of His presence, the demons around you will manifest from wherever they are hiding. Ask God for more of His presence upon you.

Furthermore, every encounter with the Word releases a measure of Truth that sets free, and just as the level of bondage varies in the lives of the captive, so also, the dose of Truth needed to bring total liberation varies. If you can expose yourself to more and more of the Word and allow the light of God's Word to shine on you, captivity will give way and you will be free. God desires your absolute freedom (John 8:36). Yet, beyond
this, Jesus wants to empower you to set other captives free (Mark 16:17). What level of freedom are you experiencing? Everything that has taken you captive shall release you now in Jesus' name. Your deliverance shall be permanent and you shall become a means of liberation to others in
Jesus' name.
Prayer Point:
Father, please let your presence and the power of
your Word fill my life completely in Jesus’ name.
