Patience with God? My Time is Running Out, I Need Help!

Patience with God? My Time is Running Out, I Need Help!

Your ability to endure God’s ‘delay’ in answering your prayers without abusing HIM is referred to as patience with God. Maybe you’ve been patient for so many years going through terrible problems, praying and fasting without blasphemy and it seems nothing good is happening. I respect your courage!

You have the right to ask questions such as: Why me? For how long will I stay in this mess despite my patience with God? When will you intervene in my life oh LORD?

Don’t worry, the LORD is neither deaf nor blind. The main issue is that your timing is absolutely different from the LORD’s timing.

Today’s message is for the children of God who knew the plans of God for their lives but not getting results as expected. 

The Power of Patience is Mighty for Breakthrough

Children of God may have diverse experience on their way to great achievement on earth, but a common virtue to all of them is the power of patience in their lives.

Are you going through unwanted situation in life and you feel like turning away from the LORD after memorising and claiming the promises of God in the Bible? No! don’t do such. Your patience with God is the only way that can lead you into the breakthrough you desired.

Many years ago, I was too speedy and couldn’t maintain patience anymore. The LORD said that HE would make me rich, but at the moment of my impatience I was one of the poor on the street.

I refused to hear from the LORD and I chose my way. I was linked to friends who told me how their business yield millions in few months… the concluding part of the story was that all the investment ran into deep red loss. And, I was not returned to status quo rather I was dipped into heavy debt.

The LORD had mercy on me despite my impatience; many terrible things happened to me very fast… Creditors threatened to expose me to public shame and to call the police to arrest me… I thought of suicide as the only way to avoid the mess my impatience led me into.

Few minutes to the suicidal act, I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit whom I refused to obey in the beginning, HIS counsel comfort me. And the LORD made a way where there was no way! HE pulled me out of the mess.

At this moment I share my experience with you (and by the grace of the LORD) millions flow through my bank accounts and I give it back to HIM.

The LORD will fulfil His promises in your life at the right time, so make your patience with God to be consistent.     

Why You Should Be Patient with the LORD

It is not an interesting experience when someone who trust God so much is getting little or no result. That doesn’t mean God is wicked or disabled.

HE would give you all you desired at the best time if you are patient. I learnt so much from the experience of the following people:

1. Samson was too impatient and refused to marry from his tribe, so he fell into the hands of the Philistines through Delilah. He could not make a greater height as expected. (Judges chapter 16)

2. Judas Iscariot could not exercise patience with God, he wanted a fast way to become rich and the 30 pieces of silver sent him to gallows. (Matthew 26:15)

3. King Saul was too impatient to conquer the war and his kingdom was pulled down very fast because he disobeyed God’s commandment related to special sacrifices. (First Samuel chapter 13)

The Profit of Patience with God

1. Restoration

Only Joseph knew the cost of his patience in the prison before he became the Prime Minister.

He would have thought God is wicked and plan a jail break, but he didn’t. His suggestion changed his status to become the second-in-command of the Egyptian government.

You might be going through a tough time like a ‘slave’, don’t give up because your faithful patience would lead to your breakthrough. (Genesis chapter 41)

2. Fruitfulness

Despite the shame and insult from people around Hannah, she neither run away from the Lord nor chose to become an Atheist. She looked forward for annual sacrifices to the LORD, prayed and patiently waited onto the LORD.

Only Hannah could tell us her cost of patience, but it’s not a cheap pie…. (First Samuel chapter 1)

You were insulted by people around you and you want to throw in the tower? No! don’t turn away from godliness.

3. Freedom from slavery

400 years of patience with God by the Israelite is not the type anyone prayed for, but we can’t blame God because He knows the best time for us. (Exodus chapter 12)

Don’t worry, HE hears your cry and HE would grant your request when no Pharaoh can hinder your breakthrough.

4. Your Star would Shine

The patience of David towards the throne was golden! Many attempts to assassinate him, he lived a fearful and unpleasant life for many years, living in the bush and on the rock, too many wars to conquer.

He did not underestimate God, but painfully trust in the Lord’s best time.

Are you going through tough time as if your prayers go unanswered? You sow seeds and your harvest time looks extremely delayed! Don’t give up because your pains would go away after you patiently wait to receive your crown like David.

 

Patience with God is profitable. You would have no cause to regret. Just endure for a while and your Joy would come in Jesus name.

Spiritual Breakthrough: 7 Keys that Open the Golden Door!

Posted by Jul 28, 2020 Holy Word, Word of Faith 12 Comments
Spiritual Breakthrough: 7 Keys that Open the Golden Door!

Spiritual breakthrough involves gaining freedom over a reoccurring evil attack, getting saved, hearing from God or testimonies to a resolved challenge.

Are you going through an unwanted situation that looks endless in your life? Do you always go through conditions that steal your joy? How difficult is your achievement in life? Don’t worry anymore! I have good news for you, today’s message explains the steps to take for a successful spiritual breakthrough.

7 Powerful Steps to Achieve Spiritual Breakthrough

1. Learn to Always Forgive

I learnt it in a bitter way that if I don’t forgive myself and those who sin against me, then it becomes impossible for me to achieve a breakthrough.

If you allow unforgivable spirit in you, then it has the power to withhold your blessings and your spiritual breakthrough.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15)

2. Activate Stable Repentance

It is proven that spiritual blessing gets delayed when there is a ‘small sin’ in one’s life. The sin you enjoy so much and you don’t want to part away with is enough to be a big stumbling stone stopping your spiritual breakthrough.

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.” (Hebrew 6:4-6)

3. Acquire Accurate Faith

A heart full of bias reduces the speed of blessings like that of the old man with a son suffering from epilepsy. The fastest way to acquire accurate faith is to read many stories of GOD’s actions recorded in the Bible. Don’t share your faith among GOD, human beings, earthly things and gods.

“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20)

4. Pray without Complaint

Now that you have acquired accurate faith, you can go ahead to pray to the LORD and your spiritual breakthrough is certain. Imitate the prayer style of Jesus and not the method of the hypocrite.

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so, you will be My disciples.” (JOHN 15:7-8)

5. Make Fasting an Additive

If your spiritual breakthrough didn’t arrive at this stage then you need to fast. Jesus told His disciples that some spiritual breakthrough requires prayers and fasting (Mark 9:14-26).

Everyone who fast in the Bible does not go fishing or hunting. Preserve yourself in a secluded place while you pray and fast (to avoid ‘hunger strike’).

6. Secure Your Mind

After prayers and fasting, it is important you secure your heart with the promising word of Jesus Christ in the Bible.

So, read the Bible always and the LORD would tell you the direction to follow towards your spiritual breakthrough. I practised this step and it works great miracles for me.

7. Pull Patience and not Anxiety

Many children of GOD missed their spiritual blessings because they were impatient. They forgot that God’s time is different from theirs, and GOD knows the best time for everyone. Don’t be too speedy to achieve greatness, else you’ll fall into the trap of the Devil who would lure you into his deceitful ‘blessings’.

Listen to Apostle James: “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:4)

 

Spiritual breakthrough is certain if you live a faithful life every day. Believe Jehovah as the only source of Divine Power and Authority. Don’t compare your life with others because the LORD knows the best time for you. If you serve the LORD diligently, HE won’t cheat you but would reward you with great spiritual blessings.  

Over-Righteous: Can a Christian Become Over-Wise?

Over-Righteous: Can a Christian Become Over-Wise?

If a voice calls you over-righteous in your heart when you play a wise role in a tough circumstance, don’t feel bad because your reward is heaven.

Today’s message explains how Ecclesiastes chapter 7 verse 15 to 17 can confuse you about the practice of righteousness.

“All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? {destroy…: Heb. be desolate?}

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? {before…: Heb. not in thy time?}” (kjv)

The Context of Book of Ecclesiastes

Remember the rule of reading the bible which involves understanding the concept of the writer, the content and context.

The book of Ecclesiastes is completely a personal deduction of King Solomon about the kind of life he lived. It’s full of regrets.

There is no single verse in this book that God neither speaks nor give instruction to king Solomon. So, you have to be very careful when reading the book.

When you test some of the expressions with the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, you will notice that some of king Solomon’s expression in the book of Ecclesiastes failed woefully.

The first part of verse 15 gives us an understanding that verse 16 and 17 are product of “his days of vanity”.

What are King Solomon days of vanity?

The days he enjoyed life without God’s direction. The days he spent without obeying the instructions of the LORD. The days his wives and concubines turned his heart away from the LORD.

The book of First King chapter 11 verse 1 and 2 : “But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites-from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love.”

Can I Obey the King’s instruction?

No Christian is expected to yield to his advice in Ecclesiastes chapter 7 verse 16 and 17: “Be not righteous over much…. Be not over much wicked…”

King Solomon is not speaking proverbially in verse 15, he shared the experience of a just man who die speaking the truth.

And in his own opinion (not led by God); in verse 16, he advised his audience to sit on the fence when it comes to the issue of speaking (or acting) the truth.

In verse 17, he admonished his audience to be wicked but no too much wickedness. For instance, when someone embarrass you treat his mess!

Verse 16 and 17 give us a clear picture of the “life of vanity” king Solomon lived. A life of a little righteousness and a little wickedness.

Does Jesus Have Any Reference to Over-Righteous?

  1. Jesus teaches us to be righteous in all the days of our life. He never mentioned over-righteousness, because there is nothing of such. If you are controlled by the Holy Spirit, you cannot be over-righteous. Righteousness is a lifestyle in Christ.

Jesus says: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:10)

 

So, don’t feel bad when you are hurt or embarrassed for the sake of righteousness.

 

  1. Jesus never encouraged any form of wickedness for the Christians. Wickedness of any measure is a sin.

 

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” (Mark 7:21-23)

Writer of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes contradicts himself

I always feel bad when I read the latter end of King Solomon’s life. He lived a contradictory life. Can you believe someone who wrote against wickedness in his book of Proverbs can write in support of such act latter in his life?

“Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.” (Proverbs 10:2)

No wonder the end of king Solomon was not as glorious as his early days.

“…And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father… And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom…” (Please read 1King chapter 11)

Are All Books Scriptures From the LORD?

Not all collections in the Bible are Scriptures from the LORD. The 66 books were collated by men, it might shock you to know that there are many more Scriptures not found anymore. Though, the few we have is enough for us with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Paul’s statement to Timothy was recorded in 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Paul’s definition of scripture is; God’s message written by servants of God. Perfect examples are all the book of the Prophets. It might shock you to know that not all the statements of Paul must be obeyed. You have to sieve his letters to separate God’s message and his own personal opinion.

For instance, 1Corinthians 7:6 “But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment…” Others are: 1Cor 7:12,25; 2Cor 8:8; 11:17

Note: Paul never knew which books would be collated to make up the 66 books we read today as Bible.

So, Paul’s statement in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 does not authorise you to believe and obey king Solomon’s statement in Ecclesiastes 7:15-17 because it is not an inspiration from God, it is not a profitable doctrine and to make matters worse it was not for instruction in righteousness.

 

Finally, the instructions you are expected to obey in the Bible are God’s speech in the Old and New Testaments. Messages of Jesus in the New Testament. Direct messages of God through the disciples. Some selected messages of God through Paul.

You are not obliged to obey other books and letters without direct message of God. But they are useful to learn from the writers. For instance, I learnt from king Solomon that my wealth should be under the control of Jesus Christ and not by the beauties of life, parties, drinks or women…   

Familiar Spirit: How Can Christian Defeat Domestic Spirit?

Familiar Spirit: How Can Christian Defeat Domestic Spirit?

Familiar spirit is a ministering spirit designated to help someone through the influence of dark powers. This spirit is the Devil’s version of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives counsel and helps someone without harm, but familiar spirit helps and hurt his client later on.

I put up this message today through the help of the Holy Spirit because many Christians are still under the torments of familiar spirit. I would expose the secret of familiar spirit and how Christians can be free from the terrible influence.

What help does this household spirit gives?

  1. It helps the witches and the sorcerer in their crafty business. For instance; the manipulation of Samuel’s image and voice when king Saul sought to hear from the dead.
    (First Samuel chapter 28)
  2. Familiar spirit assists the false prophets and pastors to predict the future of their members (divination).

The Cause of Familiar Spirit to Your Life?

When I gave my life to Jesus Christ and defeated the Devil’s confrontation through the Blood of Jesus, I thought that was all. My life became well improved but sometimes I still go through some struggles which I later identified the source to be the familiar spirit. I want to share some sources through which familiar spirit could get to you:

  1. Through your parents: If your parents had carried you to a witch doctor or any demonic consultant for help or dedicated you to the evil spirit…
  2. Visiting your false prophet (divination): If you have visited a false prophet to ask about your future or any help in a desperate way…
  3. Through exposure to demonic materials or wears: Ouija board, dark world materials, soap/oil/handkerchief/miracle water from false Pastors or Prophets…
  4. Joining the nice occult group: for instance, the white witches, churches with witchcraft doctrines and so on.
  5. Relationship with the Astrologers either offline or through the internet…
  6. Familiar spirit can move from one generation of your family to another.

How Does a Familiar Spirit Work?

Familiar spirit is used to your spirit and soul. It connects you to the kingdom of Devil. When you don’t have the Holy Spirit, it takes the full control of your life. The domestic spirit looks very friendly to you because it communicates unique information to you and answers your errands. His consolation is that when you die, you’ll go to hell.

But the day you give your life to Jesus and ask for the invitation of the Holy Spirit into you…a battle line is drawn!!

Yes, the familiar spirit would vacate your heart for the Holy Spirit to come in, but any slightest slackness from you is an opportunity for a strike.

Note: Giving your life to Jesus does not mean that the LORD would spoon-feed you. “But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)

7 Ways You Can be Pulled Down

The familiar spirit is capable of doing the following:

    1. When you keep seeing the dead familiar people
    2. Hallucination through drugs or alcohol
    3. Frightening dreams or visions with consistent pattern of familiar places related to your old school, old parent’s house or village, group of dreadful people, long chase by thugs and the likes
    4. Thoughtful negative voices threatening your job, family and life.
    5. Exaggerating your challenges to sow seeds of bitterness into you.
    6. Always refer you to your friends and relatives doing better than you to make you feel uncomfortable with God.
    7. Fear, fear, fear, everything, everywhere, you are always afraid!

Your heart is the only place the familiar spirit can use to make an impact, thus, secure your heart with the word of GOD.

 10 Ways to Defeat Familiar Spirit

This domestic spirit is not a respecter of your status as a Christian. He is not bothered if you are devoted or full of anointing. He waits patiently for an opportunity to remind you of your past. Some steps to take to become victorious include:

  1. Don’t believe the voice of condemnation.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2Corinthian 5:17)

  1. Melt every fear with the hopeful and faithful word of GOD.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2Timothy 1:7)

  1. Give your whole heart to the LORD. So, don’t think carelessly!
  2. If your heart is full of fear or worries, you would have bad dreams, so ease your heart with good gospel music before going to bed.
  3. Miracle can’t stop it, so confront familiar spirit by sharply rebuking his familiar talks or images.
  4. Don’t give room to digest and analyse the thoughts from your familiar spirit. It may go big and get you depressed!
  5. Read more passages in the Bible and less of your old dairies.
  6. Stay away from close associates that gets you depressed with their toxic words.
  7. Be cautious and not conscious to sin.
  8. Your technical know-how cannot stop the familiar spirit, but your trust in Jesus every moment of your life is the golden bullet!

Familiar spirit is a demon attached to an individual to serve as a household servant. Christians suffering from the influence of this domestic spirit can receive permanent victory through faith and discipline on the path of righteousness. I have overcome the household spirit, so you can! 

Fear of Coronavirus: What should the Christians do?

Posted by Mar 23, 2020 Holy Word, Word of Faith 2 Comments
Fear of Coronavirus: What should the Christians do?

Coronavirus is an element of reminder to let you know that the control of the world is not in the hands of man or any form of technology! The fear of coronavirus is presently all over the world. The scientists are perplexed, the economic experts are fidgeting and the doctors are dying. Should the Christians get collapsed as well? No!!

I received three messages from the LORD in the beginning of year 2020. And my heart stroked when I heard the description given to COVID-19 by the US President: “Coronavirus is blindsided….”

The LORD told me that there would be a high incidence of blindfoldedness in the world this year.

I didn’t bother to ask God questions, but I told people close to me to be at alert. Obviously, the world is currently going through a dark time!  

Today’s message will give an update of coronavirus and how the Christians can be safe from this disease.

Current Pandemic brings Fear of Coronavirus

The outbreak of this virus was thought to have originated in a seafood market where wildlife was sold illegally in China’s Wuhan city around December 2019.

The global report as at 6th April 2022 shows that 494,286,073 cases of Coronavirus exist in 225 countries across the world, 6,184,299 deaths and 429,921,167 lucky people recovered from the disease.

The scientific code for coronavirus is COVID-19. covid19

Symptoms of COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. 

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. 

Symptoms can show up within 2 to 14 days of contact to the viral infection while some infected people show no symptomatic signs (they are called carriers).

Preventive Measures to Avoid Contacting Coronavirus

Despite the fear of coronavirus, there is currently no vaccine or drug to cure it. And it is thought to spread through the droplets of an infected person. The following preventive measures are essential for you:

1. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or rub with hand sanitiser.

2. Avoid close contact with the sick.

3. If your community is affected then keep a distance of 2 meters from the next person.

4. Disinfect touched surfaces such as; tables, doorknobs, toilets, and faucets frequently.

5. Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze and dispose the used tissue immediately.

Effect of Coronavirus on the World Economy

The fear of coronavirus is having a profound and serious impact on the global economy and has sent policymakers looking for ways to respond.

The American economy is facing a plunge into uncharted waters. Economists say there is little doubt that the nation is headed into a recession because of the coronavirus pandemic, with businesses shutting down and Americans being shut in. But it is harder to foresee the bottom and how long it will take to climb back.

Globally, the coronavirus shock is severe even compared to the Great Financial Crisis in 2007–08.

UNCTAD, the UN trade agency, warned of a slowdown of global growth to under 2% this year, effectively wiping $1 trillion off the value of the world economy.

Globally, the airline industry is set to lose $29bn, according to the International Air Transportation Association.

The virus could affect up to 42 percent of China’s economy, according to Standard Chartered.

What should Christians do during this dark time?

Christians must not be afraid of this virus because the covenant of God is available for us. “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.” (Psalm 91:7)

The best act for you in this dark time is to study the significance of Covid-19!

1. The pandemic nature should be a reminder to you that certainly this world would have an end-time as prophesied by our Lord Jesus Christ.

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.” (Matthew 24:7)

2. Its uncontrollable widespread across the world shows that very soon people that put their trust in the world leaders and things of this world shall lose forever.

So, always put your trust in the LORD.

“As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” (2 Samuel 22:31)  

3. Covid-19 is a test of faith. How many Christians are currently peaceful and what number had fear…? Jesus asked in Luke chapter 18 verse 8:

“…Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

4. The fear of coronavirus substantiates the saying: “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” The LORD is clean and He wants us to be clean as well. This virus had forced many to be hygienic…

“And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” (Ezekiel 44:23)

5. The solutions of the world leaders to curtail the viral spread include; travel ban and lockdown of territories. It’s a terrible situation for the citizens and I wonder how it would be for those that won’t be raptured during the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Don’t fear the virus, but fear the terrible occurrence that would take place when the elect is raptured. This pandemic is a call to check your stand in Christ.

“Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” (1Corinthians 10:12)  

 

The fear of coronavirus is everywhere because its more than the usual flu, it kills people and affects the world economy and freedom! Covid-19 is a new dreadful virus that caught all the world experts unaware and spreading across the world.

Christians are not expected to be scared of this virus, but to be sensitive to the indirect messages of the pandemic. “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.” (Matthew 16:27)

You will be a victor during this hard time in Jesus name.
