.....THINKING IS NOT WORRY...part 1. Most often people tend to misinterprete or confuse both as though they are the same but in reality they are not. .....THINK... To think means to ponder, to go over in one's head. It means to communicate to oneself in one's mind, to find solutions to problems. It means to conceive of something or someone. ....WORRY....... It means to disturb the peace of mind, afflict with mental agitation or distress. It means to be troubled, to give way to mental anxiety. Anxiety is an unpleasant state of mental uneasiness, nervousness, apprehension and obsession or concern about some uncertain event. Thinking has to do with strategizing,planning but worry is a form thought that has been blown out of proportion resulting to mental anxiety since the imaginations formed reveal hopelessness. This is to say that thinking is focused on achieving the task ahead(Hope) but worry is a result of seeing hopelessness. Philipians 4:6" be careful for noth...

................MONEY................ I was in a class one day and the teacher was teaching us on the subject of money..... He defined money as anything that is generally acceptable and can be used for buying and selling of goods and services..... Wow I sat there imagining things to the point I started discovering some funny features of money. For example, if money is generally acceptable then the materials used for making them should be scarce and must not be found in every place...I thought about somany things and then I realise that every principle was derived from the Word of God. What is God's word saying concerning money..? I started a study on money and I discovered that there is a difference betweeen money and currency. As a matter of fact currency is a type of money. So what is money?????? Money is anything that has purchasing abilities(powers). This is to say that Gold is a type of money, Dollar is a type of money. But all these have limited abilities. This is because...

THE SPIRIT UPON........... " And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hands; but he told not his father and his mother what he had done."Judges 14:6 This is what Samson did to the young lion that attacked him. From our openning verse, you will discover that the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson and he became another man. The description " the Spirit comes upon" and the " indwelling presence of God" are two different discriptions of the same HolySpirit. Most times people tend to confuse both and use these descriptions interchangably without understanding. The "Spirit within" is also called "the indwelling of the HolySpirit". This is the experience of salvation. When a man receives Jesus into his life( the new birth), the Holy Spirit comes in and abide in him (1John 2:27a, Romans 8:11a). By virtue of the fact that the Holy Spirit lives in him, life is ...

GROWING UP SPIRITUALLY (ALL ROUND)........Part 1 1 Peter 1:2 "As. Newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby...." Growth here is the increase in revelation knowledge and faith in God's word. It is not measured by your position in church or in the society. It is not measured by how long you've been born again. No one except Adam is born a full grown human physically. They are born babies and they grow up. Similarly no one is born a full grown Christian. You are born a spiritual babe (2Corinth5:17) and you grow up. CHARACTERS OF A BABE A babe can't do much; all a baby knows is eat. Everything to a babe is good for the mouth, that's why everything their hands finds goes their mouth. Even though food is good, not all food are good food. This is to say that babes needs assistance in order to feed right. Spiritual babes are innocent because they don't have a past (2Corinth5:17). From our opening verse " as new born ba...

THE PERSON OF THE HOLYSPIRIT "And I will pray the Father,and He shall give you another Comforter,that HE may abide with you forever" JOHN14:16 A good understanding of the Holy Spirit is very important. Who is the Holy Spirit? Is HE a Person? I think the answer to this question lies in another question. .What are the attributes or characteristics of a person? The body lying in a casket is not a person but a corpse. It is a dead body; so what makes a person is not the body. The body is like a house where the person lives. The person is what comes out of the body.The characters of a person are; emotion, will,intellect, feeling etc. People watching me teach and demonstrate God's power are only seeing my body. I am inside my body. So the core ME is a spirit. My spirit has the ability to relate, feeled arespond The Holy Spirit is a PERSON who feels,love, perceive, and respond. He gets hurt, He has the ability to love because He is LOVE personified,He speaks and has His wil...

Dynamics power 2 Another word translated power apart from "esousia" is "dunamis"from the Greek translation. It means inherent ability to effect changes. Dunamis is the inherent power,residing in a thing by virtue of it's nature."But you shall receive power(ability) when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses......" Acts 1:8. The word " dynamo" is gotten from "Dunamis" and it means the ability to transforn something into another form. For example, a generating set converts mechanical energy to electric energy. We know that the HolySpirit is the power of the Godhead and whenever He comes, power is made manifest. He is the one that makes the new Creation a wonder because he has the ability to effect changes in any situation he encounters(Phillip 4:19). The new Creation should have this I can do mentallity because the HolySpirit dwells in him.Hallelujah!!! All these we have talked about are wrapped up in the Word...

AUTHORITY IN CHRIST.......... In the new testament, the word power is translated in different forms. Matt 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth......" The Greek word for power here is "exousia" meaning judicial authority, a delegated authority. This is sovereignty over something. Jesus is saying that all authority is given unto him both in heaven and on earth. The amplified version says ....all authority( all power of rule)in heaven and on earth has been given to me....." The new Creation in Christ has this authority because they are joint heirs with Christ(Rom 8:17a) and as Christ is, so are they(1John 4:17b). The new creation has all authority on earth because they have the legal right to use the name of Jesus which is the seal of this authority."Wherefore God also hath given him a name which is above every name.That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow............." Philip2:9-10 ...

SUCCESS............. Many have defined succeSs as the possesion of plenty of money, or the possession of a lot of earthly belongings such as cars,house etc. It is pertinent to know that these things are only accomplishments of success and they are not success in itself. This is because, there are many who have these and more,yet without the health to health them. So success is beyond wealth. There are also those who are busy working and making a lot of money without any kind of fulfillment whatsoever; they are hardly happy and joyful. It is a case of riches with sadness or emptiness in their spirits. This is because God has designed man in such a way that no man is permitted to happy and fulfilled outside Him. There is a void in man's spirit that he would always try to fill with food,drink,clothes,travelling,sex, and all kinds of pleasure, but when he is left alone,he will get to face the stark nakedness and emptiness of his soul.There is a place in us that only God can fill, any...

What is the purpose of Jesus dying on the Cross, Is it to bring another religion on earth? The Bible said “… ……I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Jesus didn’t come to add one more religion; neither did He come to establish any form of religion because Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is an intimate relationship between God and humanity, where God dwells inside of humanity. Hallelujah. Christianity is the nature of God dwelling in man influencing everything around him. Christians are the blessed people of God with the very same life and nature of God inside of them, since they have the Holy Spirit living inside of them whose faith and trust is in Jesus Christ. They are the result of the love of God. Hallelujah!!  The purpose of Jesus dying and resurrecting is to save (deliver) man from the bondage of sin. He came to establish a relationship between divinity and humanity. He came to breach the gap between God...
