I WON'T GO TO HELL...

I won’t go to hell…
He went to hell for me.
I won’t pay for my sins…
He already paid for them.
I won’t ever be punished…
He was punished in my name.
I won’t remember my sins…
He doesn’t remember. Why should I?
I won’t live irresponsibly…
It’s not my life, it’s His life.

MIRACLES - LET'S PLAY BALL

I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father. (John 14:12)

The Bible is a book of miracles. God’s mighty interventions in the life of ordinary people. Not just “natural miracles” but true supernatural inexplicable acts.

The New Testament opens with Jesus, God’s first-born son. A miracle worker per excellence. Water turned to wine, the dead raised, the sick healed, walking on water….
Jesus dies, resurrects and goes back to heaven. Here comes the Acts of the Apostles. The miracle ministry which they had during Jesus’ brief three years of ministry definitely expands.
The same miracles that Jesus did and more…
Shadows cast healed sick bodies….

IT CAN STILL HAPPEN TODAY
God doesn’t have great men.
The best of men are men at best.
Only ordinary people do miracles, that’s the grace element. God takes the glory because He does all the work!

The church – you and me –have the power of Jesus Christ. We have the cure for cancer, HIV-AIDS but we don’t know it.
It’s time to know and act.
Only cowards among us will settle for explanations on why God can’t use us to do miracles today.

Jesus can do miracles, He lives in us!
Let’s let Jesus loose on our world.
The world doesn’t just need an explanation of grace; they need a demonstration of it!

If not now, when?
If not us, who?
The ball is in our court.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” (Rom 5:20)

This verse of scripture gives me lots of hope. When there’s a lot of sin, grace comes along and triumphs abundantly.

There is hope for Nigeria. Today, October 1, Nigeria celebrates her 49th anniversary. As far as we can see, greed, corruption, crime, religious crisis seem to hold sway. But, light shines brightest in the dark.

We are too closely scrutinized in International airports worldwide. Our name seems to be soiled. People are afraid to associate with us. Why? The criminal minority with the loudest expressions.
Poor, even though we are about the 6th largest exporter of crude oil.
Colin Powel is reported to have said that the wealth of the UK and the US combined does not compare to the natural resources found in Nigeria. But, we are still one of the poorest nations in the world.

I can’t shake this feeling. Nigeria would one day become one of the greatest nations this world has ever seen. There is a lot of sin in Nigeria; this is what gives me hope. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. The stone rejected will one day be the chief cornerstone.

God will raise the greatest gospel teachers and preachers from Nigeria, that’s His style. He that is forgiven much will love more. That’s Nigeria.
One day, Nigeria will become one of the safest and most beautiful nations in the world. The gospel will do it.

One day this dark nation will bring light to the world. Grace tells me that the least expected becomes the most expected.

I believe in the Nigerian dream. I’m proudly Nigerian. I’m a part of that dream.
God bless Nigeria.

I'M NOT TRYING TO...

I’m not trying to make heaven; I’m already sitted in Christ in heaven.
I’m not trying to die to sin; I already died on the cross.
I’m not trying to be holy, God’s temple is holy, and that’s what I am.
I’m not trying to please God, Jesus has satisfied Him.
I’m not trying to get power; the Holy Spirit is my power.
I’m not trying to fast all day; the bridegroom is still with me.
I’m not trying to be free from the devil; I’ve already been delivered from the power of darkness.
I’m not a "wanna be". I AM. JESUS MADE ME!
I’ve arrived into my place of inheritance in Christ Jesus, where I prosper and all my needs are met!
Thank you Jesus.

WE ARE LOADED

And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places], (Eph 1:19-20).

There is no such thing as a lack of power in Christ. Revival is when men accidentally yield to God’s power that has always been available to them. That is the problem, because they accidentally yielded, they are always looking for methods to maintain the move of God. We lose the manifestation of God’s power because we are trying to receive or maintain by our works of righteousness what God has freely given to us, free of charge. How much power do we really have as believers in Jesus Christ?

Let’s look at our text once again. It’s exceeding greatness of power. If the Bible had said, “greatness of power” it would have been awesome but it says more than that. It says “exceeding greatness”. Exceed means to surpass, to be greater than, to go beyond the limit of. Wow! The power that is available to you in Christ is greater than greatness! It’s surpasses greatness, it’s beyond great power.
You are loaded with power. We are sufficient in Christ. Jesus is not just enough, He’s too much. We don’t lack power; we’ve been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
How I wish that the revelation of the Gospel really dawns on us. We don’t pray for more anointing, or a new anointing. We are the body of Christ. The same Holy Spirit that was upon Jesus is at work in us NOW.
All things are ready for you now.
It’s unbelief to look for more when you already have everything. We are not God chasers, we’ve found Him, and we are getting more and more revelation every day.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Eph 3:20).
We see the word “exceed” here again. Abundantly means more than enough. God is able to surpass abundantly. He is able to do more than you can ever ask or think. But, how is He going to do it? The text gives us the answer! According to the power that works in US! We are loaded. The power that works in you is more than enough.

I believe in the finished work of Christ. Jesus is enough, He is more than enough, and He’s too much. He lives in me!
I’m anointed. I don’t pray for more power, let’s pray like Elisha prayed for his servant, let’s pray that our eyes will be opened!
In Christ, we are not trying to become, WE ARE.
Our greatest struggle is to stop struggling.

WHAT ABOUT SEEDFAITH?

I believe in giving and receiving but not giving to receive. You can give and prosper; you can also give and become poorer. It all depends on your understanding and motivation.I don’t give to prosper, I give because I’ve come into my place of inheritance in Christ Jesus where I prosper and all my needs are met. That’s different from giving from a perspective of lack. We are not poor people trying to be rich. We are rich in Christ [whether we see it at the moment or not].No matter what we may say, If we give money [or anything for that matter] in other to receive anything from God we are paying for it. God is not for sale and His gifts are free of charge to us because Jesus purchased them for us in His FINISHED WORK. We don't prosper because we are great givers, we prosper because God is a great giver.

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. (Act 8:12-20).

The Bible says here that Simon believed. If the Bible says that Simon believed then it’s true, Simon was a believer. Simon saw that the apostles would lay hands on people and the Holy Spirit would come upon them. He wanted this gift to lay hands, he wanted the “anointing” on their life.Thank God for Peter. You don’t “sow a seed” to “tap into the anointing”. The gift of God CANNOT be purchased with money!

Many talk about Elijah and the widow. They forget about Elisha and Naaman. If giving all you have is a formula for financial abundance, then jumping into the Jordan seven times is also formula for healing. Thank God they are not. Jesus is the “formula” for everything, nothing else, not even giving.Come to think of it. If I give because I want something, not because I want to be a blessing, then it’s selfishness.

A new generation is rising. Those who give because they love God, and His ministry. A generation that is not operating from a consciousness of lack but of the riches in glory in Christ. AMEN.

SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN...

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? (Rom 6:1).

This verse is one of the most misunderstood in the whole New Testament. Many times we read into it what we think it says not what it really says. “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” is not the same thing as “if we continue in sin will grace abound?”
The first does not challenge abounding grace but only challenges our response to abounding grace. The latter, challenges abounding grace. Two totally different questions.

Let’s answer the second question. If we continue in sin will grace abound? The answer is YES! Grace always abounds. Why do I say so? Two verses before our text, Paul answers the same question.

But the Law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, (Rom 5:20).

The price that was paid is far greater than any sin that anyone can ever commit. Sin cannot stop grace because grace is the cure for sin. Man’s extremity is only God’s opportunity. You can’t out spend God’s grace, it’s inexhaustible.

Where sin abounds grace abounds much more.

Some argue that in this verse, grace means power over sin. I totally agree that grace many times mean power over sin but not in this verse. If grace means power over sin in this verse then Paul’s question would have been irrelevant. How can you ask whether we should continue in sin that grace may abound if grace is power over sin?
Grace here talks about God’s everlasting mercy, His forgiveness.

Should we continue in sin because grace always abounds? The answer is a resounding NO!
Why? Paul gives the answer.

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (Rom 6:2).

The reason that we do not continue in sin is not because grace will not abound. Grace always abounds. Paul says that we do not continue in sin because we are dead to sin.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus killed the old sinner on the cross. I was crucified with Christ. The cross is not just the revelation of the death of Christ. It’s the revelation of my death. The liar is dead, the fornicator is dead, and the thief was killed on the cross. The old man is dead, and buried. Dead men don’t bite.

We are dead to sin. The problem is that we are just getting to find out.


Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus. (Rom 6:11). Bbe.


In the same way, you must think of yourselves as dead to the power of sin. But Christ Jesus has given life to you, and you live for God. (Rom 6:11). Cev

If I continue in sin will grace abound? Yes. Do I abuse this right? No. why? I’m dead to sin and I’m now getting to find out.
