Hypocrisy is an evil leaven that contaminates the soul and makes the carrier an abomination to God. The English word Hypocrisy is from the Greek, hypocrisy which means acting on a stage. To play a role that is not real or natural by the actor. It also means to pretend to be what one is not. Therefore, a hypocrite is a pretender claiming to be what he is not. He is an actor assuming an unnatural role. Hypocrisy is a grievous sin against the Holy Spirit of God. The story of Ananias and Sapphira is a classic example of the insidious art of hypocrisy, the portrait of hypocrite, the grave consequences of hypocrisy and the demonstration of the grave displeasure of God towards any hypocritical act.

According to the account of today’s Fire Scripture, the Christian couple, Ananias and Sapphira, on their own volition, decided to sell their family landed property in order to bring the proceeds thereof to support the work of God, in the first century Church. Unfortunately, the old man hijacked their good intention. They pretended and lied that they declared the actual amount they sold their property. It would not have been counted against them if they had explained the situation as it really happened by saying, “Well we sold it for so much, but because of pressing family needs, we deducted a certain amount and have brought the remaining balance for the Church.” They rendered less and claimed that they rendered all. This falsehood was nothing but hypocrisy which was counted against them as lying to the Holy Spirit. Their tainted good intention brought sudden destruction upon them because it was spiced with the leaven of hypocrisy and served with the dish of pretence.

Beloved, hope you are not guilty of hypocritical lifestyle like Brother Ananias and Sister Sapphira. Are you reducing what you should have rendered to God in full measure and you are now claiming that you are giving your utmost?

The Science and Technology of Binocular Prayers.

Ezekiel 29:1-3

[1]In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[2]Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

[3]Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

SCIENCE OF HEAVENLY PLACES (EXPLORING THE UNSEEN REALM TO INFLUENCE THE SEEN REALM).

SCRIPTURAL TEXT:

Ephesians 1:1-3

[1]Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

[2]Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

[3]Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

The heavenly places is the Unseen realm where Christ is the Governor of the realm called the Throne of Grace.

In Psalms 110:1-2

Psalms 110:1-2

[1](Psalm of David.) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

[2]The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

The heavenly places is a realm of Unseen realities that regulates the seem realm.

Christ Jesus has been enthroned as LORD and CHRIST,

Acts 2:36

[36]Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

The first Adam lost all the blessing and economy of God to Satan and that singular Infraction coronation as the god of this world.

2 Cor 4:3-4

2 Corinthians 4:3-6

[3]But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

[4]In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

[5]For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

[6]For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

When first Adam lost the treasure to a thief called the Devil, God chose the last Adam Jesus Christ and hid all the spiritual blessings of redemption in him.

That is why, you will see words like in him, in whom, in Christ, as the access point to dominion.

The heavenly places is a throne of Administration by light.Light is the facility to expose darkness and light is what that shines and reflect what heavenly places administers.

Christ is the Administrator of divine Supernatural realm and the chief operator that makes the realities of entities of heavenly places a possibility.

All things are possible with God but it will take a believer that travels through the wheel of the Spirit of wisdom, Spirit of revelation to access the Spiritual knowledge needed to Activate dominion of our faith.

Psalms 110:1-2, Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies, there are enemies with Prophetic metaphors that must be confronted in order of

1. Principalities

2. Powers

3. Rulers of darkness in This world.

4. Spiritual wickedness in high places.

These enemies will confront our reality in Christ before it becomes a possibility.

In case there is a barreness or blockage in a family line, that matter is already settled in the heavenly places however, the Holy Ghost is waiting for a functionary of Christ to engage him in priesthood by praying the prayers of Apostle Paul in Eph 1:17-18

Ephesians 1:17-18

[17]That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

[18]The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Spirit of wisdom gives Direction

Spirit of Understanding gives illustration about a matter: Visions to expose and explain a matter in details

Spirit of knowledge gives Information about the matter.

These three are called the revelational gifts that regulates the heavenly places.

The Holy Ghost is the umpire of the heavenly places with an infrastructure called the Spirit of truth because there are other Spirits in heavenly places called Spirit of Error that sponsors Spirit of divination.

Acts 16:16, 1 John 4:1-2, because there are channels in the kingdom of darkness, fallen angels on disguise permeating and frustrating the agenda of God on the Earth.

Jude 1:6-9

Jude 1:6-9

[6]And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

[7]Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

[8]Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

[9]Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

For instance ,if there is a necromancer in your family, he has an ability to summon darkness over the entire bloodline and cast shadow of death on them unless a functionary of light press for the prayer to open the eyes of understanding to see the secrets behind the matter.

God is a God of secrets.

He dwells in secret Psalm 91:1

And sees in Secret Matthew 6:6-9 that is why you must befriend the HolyGhost to drive you into the business of redemption contained in heavenly places.

Who Are You Following? A parable of the Benin-Ore road: Choose your leaders wisely in life and faith. Test the spirit and know your guides.


WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING?

     Before the Benin-แปŒrแบน highway was repaired to its current state, it was known for terrible traffic. I once got stuck there, we had already spent about five hours between Ore and Benin and had barely made any progress.

     Then we saw a Hilux take a detour, and our Agofure driver decided to follow. Soon, many other vehicles followed us, trusting that the Hilux driver knew a better route.

    We followed him for about 40 minutes deep into unfamiliar area. Suddenly, the Hilux turned into a farm driveway. The driver got down to open his farm gate. We were shocked.

    We asked him, “Oga, nor be shortcut to Benin be dis?”

   He replied, “No, na my farm I dey go.”

     We asked why he didnโ€™t signal or warn others, seeing how many vehicles were trailing him. He simply said, “I saw all of you, but itโ€™s not my business where you are going.”

Ahhhhhhh.

     That day, na so kร sรกlร  burst. Vehicles were stuck on the narrow bush path, struggling to turn back. It took us another two hours of frustration, confusion, and shouting before we could find our way back to the main road.

   Who are you following?

   Do you know where they are truly headed?

  Do they care where you end up?

    In life and in faith, not everyone ahead of you knows the way to your destiny. Some are only journeying to their own destiny โ€” and they are not concerned about your soul or your future.

   Be careful who you follow. Test every spirit. Know your spiritual leaders. Not everyone leading is sent by your แบธlแบนda to guide you.

Daniel Olukoya Warns of Spiritual Consequences for Men Who Disvirgin Women


Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), has issued a strong warning regarding the spiritual consequences of men who engage in pre-marital sexual activity. According to Olukoya, disvirgining a woman creates a spiritual covenant that can lead to lifelong bondage if marriage does not occur.

During a sermon, Olukoya emphasized that this covenant can also result in the transfer of demonic influences to future partners, causing significant spiritual harm. He stated, ‘If youโ€™re a man and you have disvirgined somebody or more than one lady. Donโ€™t be surprised if your life is upside down. Because when you disvirgin a woman, you wet your male organ with the blood from that woman. So you have formed a covenant with that woman. So to now say you did not marry the person is a serious problem you have caused for yourself. It will go from generation to generation unless you break it. If the girl you disvirgin is now demonic, then you have formed a covenant with a girl and with a demon. And when you move over to another woman, the extra luggage you collected from that demonic girl, you transfer it to another girl that has no demon, that one too will collect.’ This teaching highlights the MFM’s strong stance on sexual purity and the spiritual implications of sexual relationships outside of marriage. The message underscores the importance of understanding the spiritual dimensions of sexual activity within this religious context.

Years I Spent In Vanity And Pride.


Years I Spent In Vanity And Pride.
Caring Not My Lord Was Crucified,
Knowing Not It Was For Me He Died
On Calvary.

Mercy There Was Great
And Grace Was Free,
Pardon There Was Multiplied To Me,
There My Burdened Soul Found Liberty,
At Calvary.

By Godโ€™s Word At Last My Sin I Learned,
Then I Trembled At The Law Iโ€™d Spurned,
Till My Guilty Soul, Imploring Turned
To Calvary.

Now Iโ€™ve Given To Jesus Everything,
Now I Gladly Own Him As My
King,
Now My Raptured Soul Can Only
Sing
Of Calvary.

Oh! The Grace That Brought It Down To Man,
Oh! The Mighty Gulf That God Did Span
At Calvary.

If You Feel God Has Wronged You, Please Forgive Him

If You Feel God Has Wronged You, Please Forgive Him

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

Memorize: The LORD says:โ€What accusation did your ancestors bring against me? What made them turn away from me?โ€ (Jeremiah 2:5)

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

Read: Jeremiah 2:2-5

โ€œBut this is what I have against you: you do not love me now as you did at firstโ€ (Revelations 2:4). What was wrong in the church at Ephesus may appear mild to many today, but to the LORD, it is most grievous. The church continued with their works and activities but left behind the only thing capable of giving meaning to their works โ€“ Love. According to 1 Corinthians 13:13, any good deed that is done outside of love erodes the goodness of it and renders the deed as unprofitable. Is love the basis of your works? Why are you serving God? Is it because you want Him to deliver, save, heal or reward you? Any service you render to Godโ€™s Kingdom outside genuine love for the Master, is unprofitable.

If there is love in your heart, you will be motivated to express it in an act of goodness. Love propels action. The Spirit of love has a way of stirring the fire in you. If you have lost the fire, whatever you do will be mechanical. Leaving your first love amounts to undoing your foundation. If the foundation is destroyed, whatever is placed on it will surely crumble. Today, many people have eroded the foundation of their Christian service. If this describes you, repent and return to the Lord. Humbly ask for the return of your first love.

In our lives, the LORD is longing for a return to how things used to be in your Christian walk. In Jeremiah 2:25,ย ย  the once cordial relationship between God and the nation of Israel turned sour and God had to ask: โ€œWhat did I do wrong to deserve this? In the same way, the LORD is asking you today, โ€œWhat is my offence that made you jilt me?โ€ you once hated hypocrisy, covetousness and lies. But today you take lies as jokes. You once feared God, your heart was so tender and spiritually sensitive, but today, nothing pricks your conscience. It has become almost as dead as a door nail. What you could not venture even in your thoughts, you now freely do. What has God done to deserve this? Are you fair to God going by the way you are treating Him? Where is your first love? Ask God to help you restore the lost spirit of love.

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

Action Point:

If you feel God has wronged you, please forgive Him. But if you carefully examine the situation prayerfully, you will find God is never wrong!

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Luke 7:13-14, “And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not, And he came and touched the bier: and they that bear him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.”

LUKE 7:11-17

This example of the widow’s son being raised from the dead is often used to demonstrate that Jesus produced many miracles without any faith from those receiving the miracle, but by His faith alone. However, the prayer in Mark 6:5-6 shows that Jesus could not (nor would not) do many mighty works in His home town because of the people’s unbelief. Many scriptures reveal that faith must be present to receive from God (Mk. 11:23-24; Jas. 1:5-7).

So, whose faith was present in this instance? First, the mother of the boy responded to Jesus in faith. For this woman to allow Jesus to interrupt the funeral procession and tell her to stop weeping has to be viewed as a positive response. These people were no different from mourners at funerals today. If she had rebelled at Jesus’ intrusion, the crowd would have sided with her because of pity, but none of these reactions are recorded. Jesus was in command.

Second, it cannot be proven that a dead person has no choice in what happens. We may take it for granted, but the scriptures don’t state that. A person doesn’t cease to exist at death; he simply leaves his body. The person is still very much alive. Many people who have been raised from the dead have mentioned that they had a choice in whether or not to enter their bodies again. Although this principle cannot be verified by scripture, it cannot be ruled out by scripture either.

In any case, to be consistent with the rest of scripture, some degree of faith had to be present in either the person receiving the miracle, or an intercessor (in this case, the mother). Reach out in faith to receive your miracle today.

All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. โ€”Isaiah 40:6

One snap of the shutter, and there it was . . . one beautiful moment captured in time for eternity. The late summer sun reflected in the breaking wave made the water look like liquid gold splashing onto the shore. If my friend had not been there with his camera, the wave would have gone unnoticed, like so many others that have come and gone, seen only by God.

Who can imagine how many waves Lake Michigan has sent rolling onto the shoreline? Yet each one is unique. As seen in every wave, God makes extravagant beauty out of seemingly mundane things. Using water and air, He makes wondrous works of art. We enjoy His gallery in skies above and on earth and sea below. But most of earthโ€™s beauty remains invisible to us; it is seen only by God.

God uses another gallery to display His gloryโ€”humans. We too are made out of something ordinaryโ€”dust (Gen. 2:7). But to us He added an extraordinary ingredientโ€”His very own breath (v.7). Like waves of the sea and flowers of the field (Isa. 40:6), our lives are brief and seen by few. Yet each one is a beautiful โ€œmomentโ€ created by God to say to the world, โ€œBehold, your God!โ€ whose Word will last forever (v.8). โ€”Julie Ackerman Link

Only one life, so live it well,
And keep your candle trimmed and bright;
Eternity, not time, will tell
The radius of that candleโ€™s light. โ€”Miller

Time and Opportunities

ย 

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. (Psalms 32:6)

Read: Numbers 14:35-45

Time is an asset given by God to man. However, its illusionary static nature when considered over a short span deceives men. Time is slowly ticking away, quickly converting every second in the present into a thing of the past. How you relate with time will determine whether you will succeed or not. In Numbers 13 and 14, God asked the children of Israel to go and possess the Promised Land, a great opportunity. So they sent 12 spies to check it out and report back to them. Ten of them gave an evil report by stating all they saw physically and concluding that it would be impossible for them to take the land. On the other hand, Caleb and Joshua gave a good report by saying that the problems in the land were no match for the God of Israel. When they revolted against God and His servant Moses, God stepped in and plagued the 10 spies who brought the evil report and they died before the Lord. By the time the congregation realised their error they said they had sinned and were now prepared to go to the Promised Land as earlier instructed by God, but God said it was already too late. Their fate had been sealed! All who left Egypt from age 20 and above were to die in the wilderness without entering the Promised Land. Only the teenagers and children would make it. That is a classical case of missed opportunity in time.

No level of tears could turn the hands of the clock backwards. One lesson here is that the time you perform any assignment for God is very crucial to Him. If God asks you to do something, He also has the time that is right for you to do it. If you choose to do it at a time other than His time, it may not have the same desired impact or the missed opportunities might become irrecoverable or recovering such opportunities might come at a high cost. Whatever God instructs you to do, be in a hurry to do it except He instructs you otherwise. Is the Spirit urging you to pray? ย ย Pray now! Please suspend all you are doing and obey, if not, by the time you think you have time to pray, it might be too late. Some people are sowing their seeds too late. Some prayers are done too late. Some acts of obedience are coming rather too late. Many people are surrendering too late. Donโ€™t be a victim of opportunities lost in time! If you follow divine timing, you will never do anything too late.

Key Point:

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

The devil and the spirit of death, use the illusion of the constancy of time in deceiving those who defer their salvation to a later date thinking they have a lot of time.

Guidelines for Money Management: Tithe

 

I ask you, is it right for a person to cheat God? Of course not, yet you are cheating me. โ€œHow?โ€ you ask. In the matter of tithes and offerings. A curse is on all of you because the whole nation is cheating me. Bring the full amount of your tithes to the Temple, so that there will be plenty of food there. Put me the test and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things. I will not let insects destroy your crops, and your grapevines will be loaded with grapes. Then the people of all nations will call you happy, because your land will be a good place to live in.
Malachi 3:8-12
Let me give you some very practical rules, guidelines to correctly
managing Godโ€™s money. First, when money comes and you receive your
check, sit down and write out your tithe on the gross. When you write
out your tithe, you get the blessing. And the blessing, as we know,
will make you rich!
Secondly, give a tithe to your savings account. Why is that important?
Many people live check-to-check and they do not have money in the bank.
When something negative happens to them financially, it quickly
destroys them because they donโ€™t have any money. Your goal should be to
have enough in your savings account to live in the same way that you
live now for six months without income. Three months coverage is good,
but six months is better because you will find another job in six
months

If I Just Touch His Clothes, I Will Be Healed

If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed

A High Hope

She thought, โ€œIf I just touch his clothes, I will be healedโ€. Mark 5:28

The Gospel of Mark tells the story of a woman who suffered from a bleeding disorder for many years. She was among a crowd following Jesus and believed, โ€œIf I can reach himโ€”just touch his clothesโ€”Iโ€™ll be healed.โ€

A risky decision, donโ€™t you think? To touch Jesus sheโ€™ll have to touch the people. If one of them recognizes herโ€”hello rebuke, good-bye cure! But what choice does she have?

She has no money, no clout, no solutions. All she has is a crazy hunch that Jesus can help and a high hope that he will!

Maybe thatโ€™s all you haveโ€”a crazy hunch that Jesus can help and a high hope. You have nothing to give. But youโ€™re hurting. And all you have to offer him is your hurt!

Faith is the belief that God is real and that God is good. There was no guarantee for the woman. She hoped heโ€™d respond. She longed for itโ€”but she didnโ€™t know if he would.

All she knew was that he was there and that he was good.

Thatโ€™s faith!
