THE KIND OF FAITH FOR 2022

 How do you make God to take back what he has said or pronounced? After all, he has told us what comes out of his mouth shall not return until it is to accomplish [life or death] .Isaiah55:11.

There is only one way to move God to do or to renege what he has ordered.To do that you have to put a smile on his face and a nod of approval from his Holiness see Hebrews 11:6
God sent a man to go and tell a nation and all it inhabitant that their time was up except they repent. As if this was not enough, the prophet went there instead to pronounce judgment, telling them when the city will be overthrown. Jonah3:4-7.

A man believe it is only Jesus who can bring solace to his aching heart concerning his dying servant, he went only to meet a stern rebuke, or so we think from Jesus .Mathew8:1-9.

A prophet was sent to deliver the doomsday message to the house of Hezekiah that he, the head should put his household in order for his death was already sealed.

Stepping over to NT  we take a look at a classical case of how to get your way from the God who is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipotent,  He who made the entire world, the only one who is alive forever, the rock of ages and the everlasting father; a woman wanted a fix for her dying daughter thus, a rebuke from the hovering hand of the devil to torment and possibly kill john10:10.
She made haste to the only one the fear fears and obey his command. She brought this pathetic case to him, but his answer was the least encouraginging! But at the end she had her request met. In the above examples, they all had their ways.  Let us use the case of the last person, the woman of Canaan, a foreigner , but she believed Jesus has the answer to her problem. It is human nature to look for solution to t problem, the challenges that life tosses our way and the mountains that confronts. We are out for solution wherever and whenever one is available undermines the source. That is one reason false prophets, magicians are still thriving and will continue to thrive.

'And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, o lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her, not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worship him, saying, lord, help me.But he answered and said it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, truth, lord :yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which falls from their master's table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, o woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour'.Mathew15:33-28.
  1.  God always responds to faith action from anybody whether in you are in the lowest step in the ladder of degeneration and disgrace or from the highest pinnacle of success irrespective of social status or otherwise
  2. The environment or society we live might not encourage the application of our faith. the disciples wanted Jesus to tell Canaanite to go away;[ perhaps that may give them the boldness to push her away.]
  3. Lack of response should not stop us from persistent prayers, supplications, and asking.
  4. The next event or circumstance may work against our faith, but we should not be moved by what we see or hear. Often the Devil uses what we see to attack our faith base by transmitting a negative picture into our heart via our sight.the men sent out to spy the land saw and it crumples their faith in God. the people in the camp heard and it crumples their faith in God, too. We must see from the eye of faith and hear from the word of God. Jesus answered her not and the only time he answers it was a devastating one.
  5. Those who refuse to be offended, who will remain focus, will always win the battles of life. Know what you want, remain humble.remain focus and persistent
  6. Worship, she worshiped the only who is worthy of worship. Not material things, not men., but you might say, how did you men? There is a place in our heart that is reserved only for the creator, the place of worship. 'Then said Jesus unto him get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, thou shall worship the lord thy God and him only shall thou serve.' Mathew4:10.

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Image
Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total turn out will come from the North. 35 percent do no go to church, the rest belongs to one denomination or the other. Now tell me, have they pr

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS[2]

  MUST ATTEND A CHURCH THAT BELIEVE IN PROSPERITY . The pupilt is what tranforms and build a man. When a pupilt is powerful with the word of God it translates into the life of the people in the pews. When a pastor receives a word concerning healing, prosperity, faith in God, whatever he receives when delivered like a good messenger, not missing it it will robs off on the congregation; that is a church. It is not all the time that God may have a specific word for the church , but it rests on the pastor to give the word like he ought to. See  Romans 1:16,  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. When the word from the pupilt is weak it will give birth to lukewarm christian who are neither strong nor weak. see  Revelation 3:16,  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.If you are really active in your local church then w

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

  Today, we round up this series. I hope the Holy spirit will expand these seeds in you, for indeed, the word of God needs illumination through the working holy spirit. Teachers only ignite the flame and the Holy spirit illumines it to those who are willing. Jesus, our lord and savior, refers to the word of God as the seed which the sower sows, but what makes it grow is the holy spirit which you invite through meditation on the word and allowing it to guide you on every day.   Joshua 1:8,  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. May God bless you as you read. WHAT IS INYOUR HANDS IS ENOUGH FOR GOD TO STAR T. What should always elates the christian is that God does not place a high demand on us in any way; God Started and completed, the work of salvation.  Hebrews 12:2 ,
