THE UPROAR OVER A CAR GIFT

 Recently, the general oversea and founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, marked his 70th birthday. Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from hand to mou

THOSE WHO DRAWS GOD’S LAUGHTER

  The Bible says in “ Psalms 2:2-4,’  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,  saying , Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the Lord shall have them in derision’. There are laughter and there are laughter, but when HE who sits on the trhone, he who created the whole world,all by himslef, he who is omnipotent and omnipresent and omniscinet laughs you have to think with reverential fear why he is laughing. Let me says from the onset that God have emotion too. He can be amuse, He can be pleased and He can be angry just like the above passage says. When Introducing his beloved son to the wolrd at that eventful baptism that took place at River Jordan, God said, ‘ in the boook of  Matthew 3:17, ‘  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. In the book of Exodus Moses pleaded with God in  Exo

GOD AND MONEY[2]

 I hope we have established the truth that there is no currency in heaven; and let it be known that there is no way anything designed,by man can actually function in heaven. The formula in that place is not found here on earth. Jesus showed us an example when he literally put back a cutoff ear. No medical formula agrees with that. Jesus said in John 3:12, If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? Our sense, intelligence and our mind can not fathom how things actually works in heaven, it is beyond what our imagination or thoughts can put together, trying to explain it just put us at a loss for how to explain things in the spirit, however, we take solace in the above verse, from our Lord who is the 'door', to enter that place. John 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Money does not exist in heaven and so God does not rain down money or o

GOD AND MONEY[1]

  Does God give us stupendous money? The answer is no. Let us look at this verse: Proverbs 10:22  The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Now you can convert such blessings to wealth, for there is no currency in heaven. What comes out from heaven, from the window of heaven, are blessings. These blessing are not visible, they are not tangible.Their presence is overwhelming and even the blind can see it. When you have any of God’s blessings, the evidence is conspicuous for friends and foe to see. Some blessings can become a cash-cow. Let us look at a good case from the book of Genesis; How such blessing can indeed make you rich .   Genesis 26:2-4,  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy fath

COUNTDOWN TO SPIRITUAL DEATH

 [ THE GARDEN OF EDEN REVISITED] The Garden of Eden an ideal place, a paradise [no pain no sufferying and no death] Adan, created by Elohim, with of love and was given Authority and responsibilities; Name the animals and dress the garden. Authority for you are higher than the Animals and design the garden , utilizing the initiatives inbuilt in him. Adan was blessed through a tripartite blessing: replinish the eath, multiply and be fruitful. Instruction was spelt out to Adam and freedom was given ,consequences of disobedience was made known.[for what is love if no freedom is given, God's righteouness makes it imperative that he forewarns Adam of the wages of sinning. Alas! man fell and consequences must follow otherwise, the idea of a righteous God will be ridiculous, for what good judge ,does not punish a mass murderer?;The idea of acquitting a murderer make him a bad judge. This sin was transferred to all men born thereafter. It is the original sin that co

IMPARTITION OF VIRTUES

  “1 Timothy 4:14, Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.” When young Yamal etched his name in the records books, y becoming the youngest player to score in the European championship, people started asking who is this boy? Indeed, like King Saul once inquired about David after he slew the giant called Goliath. pictures of young Messi and Lamina Yamal resurfaced online, thus linking the older football legit [Lionel Messi] with imparting Yamal the same passion to play good football. How true is this assertion? Is it just a media sensation or is there an iota of truth in this? Could it be a mere coincidence that Yamal, indeed, took to football like Messi? True, to the layperson who knows little or nothing about the things of the spirit, this is just a coincidence. To the modernist, it is laughable to link this Yamal’s performance to a gift from Messi. I am here to prove it to you that this is possible and

FUNDAMENTALS OF GIVING

 The world we inhabit, created by God rotates round giving.It is the system in place in this hemisphere , for this place to exist, there may be another system in the heavenlies, but here this universe can not be without giving. God first pronouncement on man is based on this system He had already put in place. Genesis 1:28, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Fruitfulness, no one can be fruitful if there is no giving involved.Whether the giving is money,time or another kind of giving, it brings about multiplication. Read this Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. When that which is giving away comes back, is multiplied by the law of divine provision, it is replenished. A Giver does not lack. Earth sustain man through this giving; W
