Shadow Christianity

Have you watched Christian TV lately? If it's not the "anointing" on the prayer shawl,it's the significance of the "period" of passover,or it's the power God pours out during the festival of Pentecost. Have we gone back to the shadows?

Every year we keep listening to preachers glorify the "first fruit"offering.

what next? Animal sacrifices?

Jesus is the power of prayer, Jesus is my lamb, the lamb that takes away my sins. He is the first fruits, we'll follow Him in resurrection.

What part of "it is finished" don't we understand?

Why do we fall in love with the shadow, when we have Jesus, the substance?

Itching Ears

John 3:16 is just too simple, it’s too elementary, we need to hear more…let’s get to the “meat of the word”.

Praying to the Father is for babes, let’s tackle demons. Isn’t it time for warfare prayers and warfare praises?

Giving to God without expecting a miracle in return shows your lack of understanding…it’s time to start giving with selfish ambitions…after all, God planted Jesus to reap us, didn’t He?

I’m your spiritual father; you’ve got to pay tithes to me. Don’t you know that without me you are a spiritual bastard? The Heavenly Father is not enough, you need me… You can’t preach without your pastor’s permission, don’t you know he’s your “covering”? The anointing you have flows from the Head; of course head doesn’t refer to Christ it refers to your General Overseer, the president of your church…

After you are born-again, you need to be “re-delivered”, this gist that simple faith in Christ is enough is DANGEROUS!

If you don’t tithe this month, your loving Father will take His portion through hospital bills, or allow the devourer to do it… You’ve been redeemed from the curse of the law [except the curse of the law of tithing of course ☺].

We need to be re-anointed every now and then you know, the one you received at salvation is just not enough.

If you don’t add good works to your faith you’ll go to hell, after all didn’t James say faith without works is dead?

I’ve heard lots and lots of rubbish…my ears are itching.

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.
