GOD'S VOICE, THE KEY

THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S VOICE

Those who have heard the voice of God are never worried by the noise of circumstances or by the noise of men.  It is those who have not met with God that are scared by men. The voice of the Lord is upon many waters. Ps 29.3

Once you have heard the voice of God ignore the noise from the enemy.
Peter began to sink when he paid attention to the bolstrious noise as against the voice of the Lord that had beckoned him to come.
Nothing gives stability to destiny like the voice of God.
Hear His voice and you will care less about the enemy’s noise.
Be dominated by His voice and you’ll never be overwhelmed by the enemies’ noise.

Now to the Interesting Part!

There are two approaches to making money from Facebook.

• The Solo Approach



• The Bandwagon Approach

The Solo Approach

The solo approach to making money from Facebook require a great deal of effort and, funny enough, that is the route that many people often take in their internet marketing efforts. With all the limitations and challenges of the solo approach, the inexperienced internet marketer often wonder why he or she fail to make money from Facebook after some time of having a go at it.

After a few tries using the solo approach and they do not make any money, what do they resort to? Bereft of all ideas, they give up and conclude that there is no money to be made from Facebook! After all, if there is any money to be made from the social network media, they would have long made it ever before other persons even tried!

So, what does the solo approach involve? The solo approach involves registering with some affiliate marketing company, such as SiteSell's 5 Pillar Affiliate program. Thereafter, you begin promoting the affiliate program through the posting of status updates and sending of personal messages to those in your Facebook cycle of friends.

How many people do you think that you will be able to convince to join the program in this way? Not many I assure you! Is it any wonder then that many people give up after just a few tries at the solo approach of making money on Facebook? Certainly not.

The best way to describe the solo approach is to see it as someone having a monkey on his back that requires constant feeding and attention every single minute of the day and never leaves. That method is archaic and ineffective. Drop it!

Are you using the solo approach? Then it is time to change! Why? Because you will never be able to make money from Facebook using the solo approach - that's why! Or, if you make any money at all from this approach, it will never amount to much.

To buttress the above assertion, you need to remember the primary reason why people visit Facebook and other such social network media. People visit social network media for the primary reason to "catch fun" - plain and simple.

They are not avidly looking to be "sold" by some enthusiastic affiliate marketer. So they will subconsciously resist any attempt to sell anything to them. That is why if you send unsolicited messages to them, otherwise known as spam, you will not get the desired result from them.

But, even at that, a large majority of Facebook users are dissatisfied with their 9-5 desk jobs and would like to see a change, and fast too. Thus, they will respond to you, if only you use the right approach.

Consequently, you need to adopt a slightly different approach from the solo approach. And what is that? It is the bandwagon approach.

The Bandwagon Approach

The bandwagon approach to making money from Facebook is a better approach - by far. So, how does the bandwagon approach work? This method requires that you pull the efforts and resources of your cycle of friends and their own cycle of friends and the cycle of friends of your friends' cycle of friends.

Do you see the potential in this? As a matter of fact, the potential is limitless as you attract other like-minded individuals to your Facebook community. Using the bandwagon approach, you cannot fail to see positive response and results within a short time.

The steps to using the bandwagon approach are described below:

• First Step: Find a Product or Service that you wish to promote. If you wish to join an affiliate marketing company and promote their products and / or services, you may visit sites like AssociatePrograms.com to search for related affiliate programs to join and promote from your Facebook community page.



• Step Two: Once you have created a profile on Facebook, you should now be able to create a community page. The next step is to create a community page on Facebook with a catchy title, like Earn $250 Or More Weekly On facebook. After creating a community page and uploading a logo for the page, invite all your friends to join your community page and encourage them to invite their friends to the group as well.



• Step Three: The third step is to create a 5-page free report centred around your niche or chosen subject area.



• Step Four: The final step is to promote your community page either using Facebook ads or using a GSM shortcode and send it to all GSM numbers in your target area.

The most appealing thing about making money from Facebook is that you do not even need a website in order to promote your home business opprtunity.

GREAT HOLY SPIRIT

                                                                                                Just as electricity is in the natural, SO is the anointing to the spiritual. IT IS THE ELECTRICITY OF HEAVEN!

The anointing is a heavenly materiality, perceptible to the touch and capable to be touched. The anointing can be felt. You can feel it and others around you can feel and experience it.

The bible has three words for power, one is Dunamis meaning power that explodes bullets, another is Exosia meaning Authority THEN comes ENERGIO where we get the word energy. This ENERGIO is the best explanation for the anointing because all the anointing is…is the ENERGY OF GOD. It can burn and it can be felt. Now as believers we need the anointing now more that we did in the past. The world has changed drastically and is waiting for us with the Energy of God, the anointing, the electricity of heaven to come in. We are the anointing career. However there are some with a greater anointing than others because there is such a thing as a FRESH ANOINTING. We need a fresh anointing, so we won't be empty, broken cisterns that can hold no water! God doesn't want people to be empty cisterns; He wants them to be full reservoirs able to hold much living water of the Holy Spirit.

Notice something here; the word Christ is a Greek word. Why the English translators failed to translate it in the Bible, I don't know. But that failure has cost us a great revelation.

The word Christ isn't Jesus' last name. It is not a title. It's a word with a very significant meaning. Christ actually means anointed. To anoint is to literally "to pour on, smear all over, or rub into." So the Anointing of God is to have God poured on, smeared all over, and rubbed into. The Anointing of God is God on flesh doing only those things God can do. Practically speaking, what does that Anointing of God on flesh do for us? According to Isaiah 10:27, it destroys the yoke of bondage. Some people say the anointing breaks the yoke. But the word used in Isaiah isn't break, it is destroy. It literally means to obliterate so completely that there is no evidence the yoke ever existed.

Now go to Ephesians 2:11-13, translating the word Christ:

"Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh...were without [the Anointed One], being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in [the Anointed] Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of (the Anointed One)"

So according to those scriptures, before you were born again, you were without the Anointed One. If you were without the Anointed One, you were also without the anointing, right? But now, you are in the Anointing of Jesus. That anointing is available to you in every situation to destroy (obliterate completely!) every yoke of bondage.

This is why you can have hope in the most hopeless situation. You can break out of that hopeless situation.

“I have the anointing of God, I cause changes. I make things work for me and for the greater good because of the anointing. The anointed is with me and in me so I am anointed. I have the electricity of heaven. I have God’s energy and I cannot be defeated, IN JESUS’ NAME”.

Get a hold of that anointing by beginning to factor in the anointing. Talk about it every day. Think about it and meditate upon it. Feel your heart with this truth and awaken to the reality that you a victor because you are anointed.

"Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14).

Holiness is what the people of God are missing today. Many talk about Holiness as though it is a thing of the past BUT that is not so in God’s mind. To God Holiness is the missing link between authority and a life of Miracles, signs and wonders. The day believers start practicing Holiness is the day believers will explode with miracles for Holiness is the electrical code that transports the power of the Holy Ghost. Holiness is the missing link!!!

Notice, it is a serious thing when God sayings:

"Without holiness no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14).

It suggests a question which demands the attention of all professing Christians: are we holy? Shall we see the Lord? AND the answer is simple…If we are not Holy, we will not see Him and it stands to reason, we will not see the manifestation of His Mighty Power. It is that simple.

Now what sort of persons are those whom God calls holy? What is God saying when He says I want Holiness?

Is He talking about having knowledge? Great profession? Zeal for certain matters in religion? morality and outward respectability of conduct? Is it in a dress code?

A man may go great lengths and yet never reach true holiness. It is not in wearing long dresses and certain types of clothes – Jezebel herself had that and the Pharisees had a dress code. It is not knowledge—Balaam had that; Is it about great profession—Judas Iscariot had that; nor doing many things—Herod had that; nor zeal for certain matters in religion—Jehu had that; nor morality and outward respectability of conduct—the young ruler had that; nor—the Jews in Ezekiel’s time had that; nor keeping company with godly people—Joab and Gehazi and Demas had that. Yet none of these were holy! These things alone are not holiness. A man may have any one of them and yet never see the Lord.

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word. He who most entirely agrees with God, he is the most holy man. In a nutshell, a holy person is a believer who is right at the centre of God’s will. Who loves what God loves and hates what God hates, this is the believer God will use. Imagine, you have a two plate stove, one is HOT and the other is COLD. Which one would you use to make tea? The obvious answer will be a HOT plate. In the same light, People who practice holiness are HOT plates God uses so be holy and see great exploits!!!

GREAT WEALTH

The devil owns your workplace, your bank and the market place. When you get paid he leaves you with a few dollars to put in a bank he also owns. After you deposit that money into a bank he owns, he will force you through circumstances to withdraw that money so that you spend it on paying bills and buying necessities. The problem still is that he also owns the market place where you buy your necessities. But with Jesus as Lord of your life - the period of the devil owning the company you work for, the bank you bank with and the market place where you buy your goods is over for the word of God says in Proverbs the 13th chapter: 22. …the wealth of the wicked is LAID UP for the believer.

Now, the child of God ought to have God's best. A child of God was rich beyond his wildest imagination, way before he was even created. He was born into the right family. He was born where the money was and still is. He was born in a place of wealth created just for him. Man wasn’t created to be a slave, that is why favour follows him and that is exactly why the people who are not in the kingdom work for their money and heap up wealth without the knowledge that they are doing this heaping up of riches for the believer. In short the people on earth are all working for the child of God. Notice what God does: Ecclesiastes 2 vs. 25 – 26 …to the sinner God giveth travail to GATHER and HEAP UP riches that he may give to him that is a believer Of God. All sinners are by scripture working for the believer whether they or you know it or not. Notice here, the devil stole a lot of our material possessions but now he is paying and supposed to pay back sevenfold. God has been and still is involved in the business of making the sinner work to GATHER and HEAP UP riches that will be given to the believer. The Revelation of wealth The wealth of the wicked is yours for the taking. Prosperity is our portion as believers.

This prosperity is not just in houses, cars, nice clothes, jewellery and fat bank accounts for this is where many who preach prosperity miss it; its purpose is so that we having enough will be able to further the spreading of the gospel. It is money with a mission! The church should not be poor and the child of God should not be broke. We are supposed to have plenty enough to be a blessing to others. Notice here in the Word of God: 2 Corinthians 9 vs. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that YOU, always having ALL sufficiency in all things, (look now at the purpose of riches) may have an abundance for every GOOD WORK. The children of God should not be beggarly. They should have God’s best and that is not negotiable. They should have plenty enough to help others in need. The children of God should never ever be beggarly. Notice what David said along this line in the book of Psalm 37, 25, 26. I have been young and now am old Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.

He is ever …lending and his seed is Blessed. David also adds: Psalm 34 10. The young lions do lack , and suffer hunger but they That seek the Lord SHALL NOT LACK any good thing. In the 23rd Psalm David even rubs it in a little bit further by saying; The Lord is my shepherd I shall not lack anything Notice, it is high time we start owning our workplaces, the banks we bank with and the marketplace. It is time for the greatest wealth transfer the world has ever seen. It is time for the devil to pay back what he stole. The revelation you are holding is payday for the believer!

TAKING YOUR MARRIAGE TO THE NEXT LEVELS

How To Improve On Your Marriage! (3)

Dear Reader,
Peace and blessings be multiplied to you in this month of the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. In my first lesson, I told you that marriage is a miracle. Last week, I looked at marriage covenant responsibilities.
This week, I want you to Beware Of Divorce! Enjoying a loving home is God’s utmost desire for you and your spouse this Christmas and forever. That was His design from the beginning of creation.
Divorce can be likened to marital amputation. It causes a lot of grief, pain, and wound that only God can heal. Even when a wound is healed, the scar remains, and in most cases, for life. Give no place to divorce. Remember, prevention is said to be better than cure. When there is challenge in your home, divorce should not be the first option that comes to mind. Rather, it is important to first identify and analyze the challenge.
In the beginning of the institution of marriage, divorce was not a part of this original plan, and was never supposed to be a part. The Word of God says:

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24).

Note the word “Man … shall leave, cleave and become one flesh”.
God hates putting away! The Word of God says: For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away (Malachi 2:16). What God says He hates, you should hate too. If you move close to any divorcee, you will observe that they themselves go through a lot of pain and agonies and their children go through turmoil and devastation. God views husband and wife being bound together in a permanent marriage relationship, and nothing should be allowed to put them apart.
My husband used to say, “To be slow and sure is better than to be fast and foolish”. My husband and I courted for six years. Throughout that time, we did a proper study with all sincerity of each other’s character, vision and goals. If you are not contemplating divorce, then there is no need to rush into marriage. Take your time; be sure of what you are getting into. If it is a living family you desire, prepare yourself for it and enter into it with God’s backing and certainty.
Divorce is not as easy as it sounds, because it is not only limited to legally ending a marriage, but putting death where life once was. For those of you about getting married or yet to be married, be very careful.
In case you are reading this article right now and you are considering divorce, you have thought there is no way out. Hold it! Who knows, this might be the reason God gave you the opportunity of reading a material like this. If only you will accept and follow God’s master plan, your story will change for the better!
Or are you already divorced? Do not allow a sense of condemnation to overwhelm and destroy your colourful future. God can still perform His wonders in your life. Do you believe a miracle can still take place in your life and family to bring about a restoration? God is the Restorer! He will restore your marriage.
I hope this brother’s testimony will boost your faith:
“I read your article in the newspaper. In fact, I have seen a lot of changes in my life, which prompted me to give this glorious testimony of the wonderful works of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I got married in 1977 as an unbeliever, before I joined the police force in the year 2000. But somehow, my marriage broke up as a result of so many things. But God rebuilt the marriage from the advice and instruction I got from your article.
I congratulate you for your effort in enlightening young men and women concerning their marital lives, so that their marriages will be peaceful and successful.” Udual, A.
I see God giving you your own testimony, too, in Jesus’ name!
You need the grace of God upon your life to be able to stay put in your covenant marriage. This grace is released for those born again. You get born again by confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your own Lord and personal Saviour. If you are set for this new birth experience, you can say this prayer and be born again:

BUT ONE

NO LONGER TWO BUT ONE (part 2)


Dear Reader,
Welcome to a another fruitful time in the presence of God. So far, I have discussed on the foundation that should be laid for the effectiveness of oneness in your marriage.
This week, as I round off this teaching, we shall be looking at Keys To Sustaining Oneness In Marriage. It is not enough to be united as one, it has to be sustained. The reason Jesus came is to give abundant life, even in marriage. Man must, however, co-operate with God to make marriage a mini-paradise on earth, as it is supposed to be. The sustainability of your marriage does not depend on God, but on you.
The following are the major keys that will help you in sustaining oneness in your marriage. When you do your own part, God will always fulfill His own part.

Lay Your Foundation on the Rock

The foundation of a building determines to a very large extent what happens to it, and whether that building will last long or not. For oneness in marriage to be sustained, you must lay your foundation upon the Rock, in the person of Jesus Christ.
Laying your foundation on the Rock means ruling your marriage with the Word of God. This is because Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1). If your marriage is not built on God’s Word, then it is without a foundation, and it cannot be sustained, no matter what anybody tries to do to help! God’s Word says: If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalms 11:3). Jesus is the only sure foundation; lay your foundation on the solid Rock, and your home will stand.

Fulfill Your Marriage Responsibilities

Marriage has responsibilities attached to it. Co-operation, therefore, is a necessity. The wife, for instance, should submit to her husband in the home, be chaste, respectful and pure in her conversation. She should keep her home, making it a conducive place for the Holy Spirit to dwell.
The man on the other hand, must play a leadership role in the home, make provision for his family and train his children in the way of the Lord. When both the man and the woman fulfill their covenant responsibilities, it becomes easy for their marriage to be sustained, thus, no storm of life will be able to destabilize them because the force of oneness will be in operation.

No Hide-and-seek Game

For your marriage to be sustained, both you and your spouse must be open to each other. There should be no occasion to hide something from one another. God’s Word says: And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed (Genesis 2:25).
The word “naked” in this context means ‘openness’ to one another. If a couple is open to each other, they will not know shame and their marriage will be sustained. There are quite a number of people who hide things from their spouses, even Christians! When it comes to money, many believers are affected.
Whatever information will make your spouse disappointed in you if he/she hears it from someone else, should be made known on time, else you are involved in a hide-and-seek game. Funny enough, whether you like it or not, it will unexpectedly be discovered one day.

Wisdom – The Principal Thing

Wisdom is the principal tool for sustenance (Proverbs 4:7). Both you and your spouse need to constantly ask God for wisdom in handling the day-to-day affairs of your marriage. An act of foolishness on the part of any of you, may affect the stability of oneness in your marriage.
Wisdom prompts you to know when to talk and when to keep quiet; what to say and the right time to say it; where to go and at what time, etc. Do you know it is possible to say the right thing but at the wrong time, thereby cause instability in your home? God’s Word says: Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established (Proverbs 24:3).
For oneness in marriage to be sustained, you need wisdom. This wisdom comes from God and whenever you need it, you can ask Him for it (James 1:5). Laying the foundation of your marriage upon the Rock implies making Jesus Christ the central focus in your home and allowing Him to take His rightful place. If you are set for this, say this prayer of faith:

Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins.  Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour.  Now I know I am born again!

Congratulations! Till I come your way again next week, call or write, and share your testimonies with me through:

SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

COMMITMENT: Backbone Of Successful Marriages


Dear Reader,
I thank God for the privilege to bring His Word your way today. I pray that you will be mightily blessed in Jesus’ name!
Commitment is the backbone of any successful relationship, marriage and family inclusive. It is the adhesive of every marriage. When commitment is lacking in the relationship between husband and wife, the chances of that home surviving is very slim.
Therefore, to enjoy family success, you must be committed both to the institution of marriage and to your spouse. God has joined you together, but you must be so committed both to the institution and your spouse that nothing is allowed to put you asunder (Mark 10:9).
What then is commitment? The Oxford Dictionary defines commitment as “an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action”. In other words, there are some things you cannot do by reason of your commitment. That is why Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:12: All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient.
Commitment makes you choose the expedient above the lawful. It makes you forgo some things that you like, take pleasure in or even sometimes, rights and privileges that are lawfully yours may have to be forfeited in the interest of the family.

God’s Word says: Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

Commitment, therefore, demands that you promote whatever it will take for you to ensure that peace reigns perpetually in your marriage. Whatever shortcomings your spouse or other members of your household may have, commitment demands that you find a way to cope with them. You may even have to forgo some things you really enjoy, just to ensure peace is maintained in your home.
As a man, for instance, commitment demands that you place the interest of your family above your own. God has programmed you as the breadwinner of the family, so, before you consider all that you need, you must first and foremost make adequate provisions for your family’s well-being. So also, as a wife in the home, no matter the lure of your social status, commitment demands that you pay top priority attention to the members of your family, especially your spouse, before yourself or your peers.
Commitment also demands that you discipline your thoughts to conform to the Word of God. Thought you know will cause your family hurt, until you overcome it. A man once lost his family and destiny to a lousy thought he failed to tame for 25 years. Instead of casting down the imaginations and fantasies of his heart, he constantly indulged in them, until they became an irreversible reality in his life. Like a roller coaster, his thoughts gradually took on flesh and before he could put a stop to them, his entire destiny was cast before the pigs and crushed under feet. He lost his family and destiny for lack of commitment.
Again God’s Word says that marriage is honourable – that is, respectable. Marriage, as an institution established by God, is perfect, but the individuals in it are not. People change as they grow, but marriage is constant. It is an unchanging institution. In order to build a successful marriage, therefore, those in it must learn to honour marriage itself. This is the secret! You can get so committed to the institution of marriage that you can cope with the imperfection of the parties involved. Commitment overlooks the physical changes in your spouse, sometimes the changing fortunes in your finances, etc.
As a single person, before you agree to marry anyone, find out how committed he/she is to God and to marriage. It is the level of his/her commitment to God that will determine how committed he/she will be to your marriage. Are you married to someone who is not committed to God, and now you are wondering why he/she is not committed to your marriage? He cannot be, because the foundation is faulty. He needs to be “sold out” to God first!
Nevertheless, all hope is not lost. If you make a decision today to become committed to your marriage and family, God’s grace will be available to you to establish your desire.
Grace is only available to the redeemed of the Lord. So, if you are not born again, there is no way you can be committed to God and you can never be committed to your marriage. You need to give your life to Christ. Are you set for it? Why not say this prayer of faith from your heart:

Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins.  Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour.  Now I know I am born again!

Congratulations! Till I come your way again next week, call or write, and share your testimonies with me through:

DIVORCE

GOD'S VIEW ABOUT DIVORCE

What is divorce?
Divorce is a practice whereby married couples decide to be separated in a bid to discontinue or put an abrupt end to their marriage, even while both of them are still alive. Some even drag their spouses to the court of law to get a legal backing, in order to disengage from a marriage that has been contracted.
From the beginning, it was not so. God did not create the woman, Eve, with the intention to be separated from Adam later in the future. She was made out of Adam’s ribs and was meant to be a part of him forever, since it was not mentioned for how long she was to be his helpmate, and vice versa.
Unfortunately, satan the devil crept into the garden when man was not watchful, sin followed and death was the penalty for sin: Ezek 18:20 The soul that sinneth , it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Today, we can see a lot more complications in homes, whereby disagreements of all manners degenerate so fast leading to permanent separation and divorce. Divorce has since become a major cancer ravaging several homes today, thus the need for you to arise and contend for the peace of your family.
Why Divorce?
Sin in its nature cannot, and never will yield positive results. So, when man fell in the Garden of Eden, one of the weapons the devil introduced so as to go against God’s initial plan of family unity is the tool of divorce. Don’t forget that a family where unity is rooted has the strength and full capacity to conquer the challenges of life.
No wonder Jesus laid emphasis on the importance of unity, in John 17:21-22 That they all may be one ; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one.
Anytime the thought of divorce permeates your heart, discard it like a waste; give no room to the devil in your marriage. You are more than a conqueror; the curse of sin no longer has dominion over your family. No matter the condition, God is still on the throne. All you need to do is to go back to Him in prayers, ask the Holy Spirit to direct you on the steps to take so peace can reign in your heart and home. I encourage you never to give in to the pressure of divorce; there is no situation too hard for God to handle(Jeremiah 32:27).
I pray for you today, because there is yet a balm of healing in Gilead, may the healing virtue flow in your direction today, causing every pain in your life and marriage to dry up from its root, in Jesus’ name. God’s mercy will prevail in your home; you will not be a victim of devil’s onslaught in Jesus mighty name.
Prayerlessness is one of the points of entry in a home, through which the devil releases his missiles. The saying is very true- a family that prays together stays together. When was the last time you and your spouse joined hands together to pray in agreement?
1 Peter 5:8-9 says: Be sober, be vigilant ; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. The bond of unity is strengthened on the altar of prayer. Now is the time for the Christian home to put in all efforts to steadfastly, consistently and prayerfully resist the evil one.
Wordless living is also a weak point in most families, today. You need to create the time for your family to study the word of God in the home. As you go to church regularly, the fact still remains that you need to share the Word of God in your home regularly.
In the course of counselling couples who resort to divorce, it has been noted that the loophole of not studying the Word together created entrance for the devil in such families. It is too dangerous for you not to have time together with your spouse in your home, whereby you expound and share the word, for your nourishment. Remember a threefold cord is not easily broken. For more emphasis on this truth, Eccl 4:12 says: and if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
In order to enjoy a hitch-free marriage, you need to be born again. You get born again by confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. If you are set for it, please say this prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You today, forgive me my sins, wash me in Your precious blood, come and dwell in my heart and be my Lord and personal savior. Thank You for saving me for I know that I am now born again. Congratulations and welcome to the family of God. From henceforth, I see a new you emerging, every failure of the past are turned to miracles in your life, and you begin to surmount all the challenges in your study, career, health, and family in Jesus Mighty name. Amen!

SEXUAL ABUSE

THE TRAP FOR SEXUAL ABUSE


I welcome you to another enlightening edition of Youths & Singles. I strongly believe that this month’s teaching will go a long way in speedily healing every unpleasant wound of sexual abuse (if any) around you, in Jesus’ name.
In the course of the month, I shall be considering the theme: The Trap Of Sexual Abuse.
What is Sexual Abuse? Sexual abuse can be defined as when you're being touched in a way you don't like, you're being forced to have sex, you're forced to look at sexual pictures or videos, you're made to watch someone do something sexual (this can include someone flashing or exposing themselves to you; this can be via webcam, pictures or in person), you're made to do something sexual to someone that feels uncomfortable or wrong; again, this can be online or in the real world.
The trap for sexual abuse or some behaviours that may raise concern include, when someone pays unusual or unnecessary attention to you, seeks opportunities to spend uninterrupted time alone with you, frequently buys you expensive gifts or gives you money, often walks into the bathroom while you are there. It also includes when someone shows unusual interest in your sexuality (for example makes comments about your body), pursues physical contact with you through hugging, touching, tickling, wrestling, even when you have indicated that you don’t like it, spends most of his free time with you, rather than with persons of his calibre, asks to take you on overnight trips alone, frequently offers to care for you, or asks if you can keep secrets, etc.
However, this is where the necessity for the Spirit of God comes in. It helps you as a child of God to discern what is pure and of negative intention (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). As explained in the above paragraph, if anyone comes around with contrary motives, the Spirit of God in you will make you uncomfortable with such individuals. In other words, if you choose to focus upon the Word of God, you will be enabled to be spiritually discerning.
Since every person and situation is different, victims of sexual abuse respond in various ways. The number of occurrences is staggering. But more staggering than the number of occurrences, is the acute damage done to the victim. The effects are physical, social, emotional, psychological and spiritual.
After a person has been sexually abused, he/she often experiences a range of feelings and reactions. Though these individuals cope in their own way, some have very strong responses after being sexually abused, while others are calm or numb. Some feelings and reactions might be experienced directly after the abuse or days and weeks later. Understanding that these feelings are normal and experienced by others who have been sexually abused, may make the feelings and reactions less frightening.
Immediate physical effects may be pain and bodily injuries, especially if the perpetrator used force. It may also include: bruises, broken bones, STIs, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and pregnancy. Longer-term physical effects may be disturbed sleep patterns, nightmares, insomnia, loss of appetite, stomach pains, etc.
Sexual abuse also causes harmful emotional, psychological, or physiological effects that are more severe than the effects of other crimes. These effects include self-blame, shame, guilt (or embarrassment), anxiety, stress (or fear), shock, impaired memory, confusion (or disorientation), anger, hostility (or aggression), sexualized behaviours (sexual perversion), denial, irritability, erratic mood swings, depression or despair, social withdrawal, decreased energy and motivation, suicidal thoughts, etc.
After all said, I like to introduce to you, friend, the surer escape route from sexual abuse – Jesus. Acknowledging Him as your Lord and personal Saviour will give Him access to leading and guiding you away from sexual abuse at any point in time in life.
Are you set to confess your sins and allow Jesus into your life? If you are, please say this prayer of faith from your heart loud and clear: Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins.  Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour.  Now I know I am born again!www.sparkin.blogspot.com

THE BLESSEDNESS OF TRANSFERING OF THE SPIRIT

UNVEILING THE BLESSEDNESS OF TRANSFERENCE OF SPIRIT

Identify your God-ordained Prophet
It is important you understand that there is nothing in any man but the grace of God at work in him. There are no great people anywhere but great grace at work in various lives. There are no self-made captains in aviation industry; every captain is trained by another captain. Every eaglet flies at the back of the mother eagle to develop its own wings. Just like you don’t choose your biological parents, God did. In the same vein, you don’t choose your spiritual father or parents, God does.
Everyone has Moses sent his way on whose wings he can fly. Every man has his Elijah on whose wings he can soar. God still has prophets on earth today, and those who locate and stick to their God sent prophet will soar without sweat. It is very important therefore for everyone to identify, recognize and stick with his own God-ordained ‘mother eagle’, so that he can have his wings fully developed.
Difference between Empowerment and Transference of Spirit
There is a difference between empowerment and transference of spirit. Empowerment is about impartation of spiritual gifts (Rom. 1:11), but transference of spirit is about replication of the spiritual status of another. After Elijah left, Elisha returned in chapter 2 of 2 Kings with a double portion package. By chapter 3, he became the prophet for the nation (2 Kgs. 3:11).
Transference of spirit is the duplication and multiplication of the spiritual capacity of another. It is about the replication of the spiritual DNA of a carrier. You are manifesting him, not mimicking him or imitating him. It is the replication of another person in a person.
Replication of spirit is nothing strange. When John came, it was said that he shall go forth in the spirit and the power of Elijah. “… He shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah…” (Lk. 1:17).
Channels of Transference of Spirit
1. Through God’s own prerogative. God determines what goes from one person to another. He sent John forth with the spirit and power of Elijah. He told Moses in Numbers 11:17, “… and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them…”
2. Through the craving of man. When you desire it, God will give it to you. 1 Corinthians 12:31 says, “…Covet earnestly the best gifts…” Everything in Kenneth Hagin appealed to me. The grace of God on His life was precious to me and I wanted it. Therefore, I said to God, “Lord, whatever makes Hagin Hagin, I want it.” And He gave it to me.
Meanwhile, we shall be examining the Blessedness of the Spirit of Guidance in this first part of the teaching.
Blessedness of Divine Guidance
The leading of the Lord is the cure to man’s frustration (Isa. 48:17-21). When the Lord is the one leading the way, even in the desert, you live as if you are in a garden. His people became victims because they would not follow His leading (Isa. 42:18-24). When you follow His leading, goodness and mercy follow you. However, every time you ignore His leading and go your own way, you run into crisis; the journey becomes tough (Jer. 2:13-17).  So, you need this grace to make the most of your journey in life.
Benefits of Divine Guidance
1. When God leads, He goes before the led. “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them…” (Jn. 10:4; Isa. 45:2). People that are led don’t struggle. They triumph without sweat.
2. When God leads, He goes with the led. “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him” (Jn. 8:29). When you walk in His leading, you enjoy His companionship. Nothing can stop you when God goes with you (Rom. 8:21).
3. When God leads, He empowers the led to accomplish his mission. He said to Gideon, “…Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?” (Judg. 6:14)
4. When God leads, He works through the led. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13). He works through the led to deliver His mission. God was working with them confirming His word with signs following (Mk. 16:20).
5. When God leads, He protects the led. The one that leads you keeps you, to deliver His purpose (Ex. 23:20).
6. When God leads, He works for the led. When you see marvelous things happen, it is because God is at work. “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it” (1 Thess. 5:24).
These amazing blessings accompany the leading of the Spirit of God. As you follow His leading, you will experience His mighty doings in Jesus name.

GENUINE POWER

REAL PEOPLE

PROBLEMS ARE REAL No one prays them or expect them, yet they come everyone’s way. They are looking for who will solve them, That is why they come your way. There are several ways of solving problems. Reasoning is the mental process to finding solutions to bugging problems of life. You must possess a ‘there is a way out’, mentality at all times – 1Corthians 10:13. You can device your way out of any situation – Proverbs 16:9, 20:5, 25:2 If one way closes, several others will open to you. Reason and re-reason; think and think over again. There is no end to reasoning; the more you reason, the better result you access, and the brighter your life becomes. Those who think cannot be trapped. A system that lacks reasoning leader(s) will certainly rust just as a body that has no head. To be headless is to be lifeless in practical terms. Without head there cannot be an headway. The prodigal son made a headway only when he put his head to work. Luke 15 The first church forged ahead inspite of satan’s subtle scheme of murmuring among women that seriously threatened the further existence of the young vibrant church. Acts 6:1-3 Going ahead is always what results whenever the head goes to work. Acts 6:7
