10 Ways to Overcome Spiritual Weakness!

Spiritual weakness is an inability to satisfy the LORD due to inadequate spiritual strength and a status of spiritual immaturity. It’s a serious cause for concern because Christians going through spiritual weakness are not active sinners and they are eager to move out of the poor status because they understand the consequences.

Today’s sermon will explain the cause and the best ways for you to overcome spiritual weakness.

6 Causes of Spiritual Weakness

1. Lost Focus in Jesus Christ

When you concentrate to spiritual fathers and read too many books of diverse faiths, you can lose direction of holiness.

2. Distractions by Things of the World

The world is overloaded with many features which can blindfold you easily. For instance; wealth, science and technology, social enjoyment etc.

3. Obeying Cultures that Contradicts Holiness

It is unfortunate that the church of our generation had mingled with the world. Many church leaders allowed worldly culture thinking that will make the church to be full…

4. Lack of Spiritual Nutrient

It is a dangerous act to miss reading and meditating on the Word of God every day!

5. Miscommunication between you and the LORD

It is easy to disobey the voice of the Holy Spirit because God’s will for you always contradicts most of your wishes.

6. Over-Estimating your Spiritual Status

Your spiritual strength has nothing to do with your age or the year you joined the Christian fold. If you are carried away by the church awards and fatherly names given to you then you might be heading towards a crash…

4 Types of Spiritual Weakness

1. Unstable Faith

2. Inability to exhibit spiritual gifts

3. Retarded spiritual growth

4. Non-transformation; No distinction between you and unbelievers

7 Signs of Spiritual Weakness

1. Procrastination of doing the right things

2. Love for things of this world

3. Blind argument to justify your undisciplined status

4. Unreadiness to let go some characters

5. Private Prayer time is diminishing very fast

6. No more active Personal Bible study

7. Less resistance to temptation and expecting Jesus to do it for you.

10 Steps to Overcome Spiritual Weakness

1. Don’t reach a conclusion that there are some sins you cannot stop!

2. It is vital you increase your prayer time. I asked for spiritual strength and I was empowered steadily.

3. Stay away from societal culture and church doctrines that cannot be found in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

4. Always share the Good News of Jesus Christ online and offline and your spiritual strength will be restored.

5. You can overcome spiritual weakness if you abandon all books except the Holy Bible which is the only roadmap for a successful spiritual journey.

6. You’ll get spiritual power during consistent praise and worship, so don’t miss personal fellowship with the LORD every day.

7. Don’t take temptation for granted when it comes. Expect it every day but don’t give the evil suggestions a second thought rather squeeze it into the trash with the word of God.

8. Give everything about your heart to Jesus Christ.

Jesus says: “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” (Matthew 10:37)

9. Spiritual weakness is as a result of spiritual indiscipline, so you have to be a disciplined Soldier of Christ.

10. Check and Balance yourself every night before going to bed.

Jesus says: “Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Matthew 24:44)

The risk involved in staying too long in spiritual weakness is terrific. It leads to spiritual stunted growth, lukewarm and backsliding. I was once a weak Christians but when I followed the steps above the LORD made me stronger in His Holiness.

You cannot be spiritually strong by your intellectuals or by the church doctrines. You must be disciplined and consistent in personal relationship with the LORD – that’s the secret of your victory!  

Why Do Christians Get Cancer?

Why Do Christians Get Cancer?

Christians get cancer which is a genetic disease caused by changes to the genes that control the way our body cells function which leads to uncontrollable cell growth and division to other parts of the body.

If Christians get cancer, then it does not mean that the LORD is wicked or weak to heal. Don’t let your faith be drained by the depression. Though it is referred to as an incurable disease, but the medical researchers are trying to come up with hopeful drugs…

According to Worldwide Cancer data, there were an estimated 18.1 million cancer cases around the world in 2020. Of these, 9.3 million cases were in men and 8.8 million in women.

Today’s message would explain the causes and the avoidable steps to hinder Christians get cancer.

How Do Christians Get Cancer into Their Body?

The risk factors and causes of cancer include:

1. Age

2. Alcohol

3. Cancer-Causing Substances in body cream or cosmetics

4. Chronic Inflammation

5. Diet and beverages

6. Hormones

7. Immunosuppression

8. Infectious Agents

9. Obesity

10. Ionizing and non-ionizing Radiation

11. Too much exposure to Sunlight

12. Tobacco

13. Heredity

14. Lack of Exercise

What does God Say about Cancer in the Bible?

Cancer is not specifically mentioned in the Bible but incurable disease which can be categorized as cancer was mentioned.

1. 2 Chronicles chapter 21 verse 12 to 20

“And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, thus says the LORD God of your father David: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father…”

“But have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot like the harlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have killed your brothers…”

“Behold, the LORD will strike your people with a serious affliction-your children, your wives, and all your possessions… After all this the LORD struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.”

2. Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 10 to 17

“…For I am with you,’ says the LORD, ‘to save you; … And will not let you go altogether unpunished.”

“For thus says the LORD: Your affliction is incurable, your wound is severe… You have no healing medicines…”

I discovered that the cancerous incidence mentioned in the Bible passages above is a divine punishment to the children of God who went astray.

How to be Healed from Cancer

If Christians get cancer, then the best healing practices excludes expensive medical treatments that does not heal!

So, the best steps include;

1. Repentance from all sins.

2. Read your Bible to find encouraging words that helps your faith.

3. Pray to the LORD and your faith can give you miracle of long life than the prediction of the doctors.

4. Wait patiently unto the LORD.

5. Depression kills cancer patients very fast, so, always rejoice in God’s presence through thanksgiving.

Christians get cancer through heredity or exposure to carcinogenic substances and risk factors mentioned above. Don’t be ignorant of the fact that misusing the grace of GOD like the Israelites might be disastrous.

This does not change the fact that GOD is loving. He is a disciplinarian and chastise His loved ones for their good.

I implore you to live a healthy lifestyle and stay away from foods and drinks preserved with chemicals. And, stay away from many body creams and cosmetics that contains heavy metals which could be carcinogenic.

May the mercy, power and healing from the LORD be upon all of us in Jesus name.   

Reincarnation in Christianity; Is it Biblical or Logical?

Reincarnation in Christianity; Is it Biblical or Logical?

Reincarnation in Christianity is a belief that crept into the church with the claim that Christian can die and get rebirth multiple times. Transmigration is also a term used for reincarnation with the concept that someone can die and the soul could come back to earth through a new born human or animal.

The teaching about reincarnation in Christianity was appealing and I nearly got confused, but I prayed and studied the Bible carefully and I am glad that the Holy Spirit won’t allow me to be in darkness about this issue of transmigration.

Are you confused about this topic or you want a detailed and sincere information about reincarnation in Christianity? Today’s sermon is a powerful one you won’t want to miss!

Statistics about Reincarnation in Christianity

I was shocked by the outcome of 2017 survey done by the Pew Research Center among some U.S. adults.

29% Christians, 26% Protestant and 19% Evangelical believe in reincarnation.

It is unfortunate to know that such appreciable percentage of people who believe reincarnation in Christianity exist in the church. We have to stop the increasing trend because it was 25% in 2015.

Origin of Reincarnation

There is no doubt that this concept is an ancient one which makes it difficult to trace the specific year and author. But I tell you with the authority of the LORD that the origin of reincarnation is from the devil.

Transmigration is famous in the East and widely known among pagan religions such as; Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

Scriptures Used by the Devil to Lure Christians

I did my findings and discovered that those who believe in reincarnation rely on the ancient tales and no authentic evidence about the concept.

Does it make any sense to believe in a religious faith that has no proof and evidence but tales and unrealistic imagination? Jesus knew the importance of this fact and He said: “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” We saw the evidence of Christ and that is the reason we are called Christians. 

Devil would always see himself to be a smart guy who also use the tool of scriptural misconception to slide the Christian folks, but trust me, he is a liar!

The following bible passages referred to as a justification for reincarnation in Christianity were quote out of context and misinterpreted:

1. Matthew chapter 17 verses 12:

“But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise, the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.”

Believers of transmigration preach that John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated. Absolute nonsense!!

When Jesus Christ was comparing John the Baptist to Elijah, He meant that John the Baptist performed in the same spirit and power of Elijah as prophesied by the prophets and Angel Gabriel. (Luke 1:17)

If my explanation above is not enough then let’s hear from John the Baptist:

“Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”

And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” (John 1:19-21)

The believers of transmigration in Christianity contradicts themselves through this bible reference because the pre-requisite of reincarnation is death before rebirth into a new incarnated body. Since prophet Elijah never died then it is wrong to say John the Baptist was his reincarnate.

2. John chapter 3 verses 3:

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.””

I am not surprise that this quote was picked by advocates of reincarnation in Christianity. Devil also did something similar when quoting the scriptures to Jesus Christ to fall down from the pinnacle of the temple during his temptation. (Luke 4:9-12)

When Jesus Christ was teaching Nicodemus about becoming born again, He was not talking about reincarnation because Jesus never told him to commit suicide. It was explicit that Jesus Christ was teaching about spiritual rebirth.

Jesus says: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

The process of spiritual born again is completely different from the physical rebirth related to reincarnation, so the bible verse above is wrongly used by the believers of reincarnation in Christianity.

Why the Devil Brought Up the Concept of Reincarnation?

1. To Rubbish God’s Salvation

After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the devil is doing all his best to make us disbelief that our salvation to be saved from the bondage of sin is in Jesus Christ.

In reincarnation, salvation becomes a form of work based on human actions through repeated death and rebirth rather than on the atoning death of Jesus Christ – deceit of the devil!!!

2. To Deceive People that No One Goes to Hell

The doctrine of reincarnation teaches that someone would be free from sin and re-unite with God through continuous cycle of death and rebirth – a false belief!!

3. Devil Wants to Distract Us from Resurrection

The servants of devil bribed the soldiers to spread the lies that Jesus’ body was stolen and there was no resurrection. (Matthew 28:11-13). Well, the lies worked for the Jews but was not strong enough to deceive the Gentiles.

The devil invents the virus program of transmigration to attack the righteous system of resurrection established by the LORD. That’s impossible and the devil would keep failing!

5 Reasons you must not belief Reincarnation in Christianity

1. No one had come out and tell you he or she is reincarnated.

2. It’s unclear for anyone to show evidence of being reincarnated.

3. The process of transmigration is not teachable.

4. No one including the scientist had confirmed any human reincarnated to plant or animal as claimed by Hinduism.

5. It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.

What Does the Bible Say about Reincarnation?

No record of reincarnation can be found in the Bible because it is not God’s idea. Here are some Bible verses that tells us the truth about rebirth and afterlife:

1. “As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, so, he who goes down to the grave does not come up.” (Job 7:9)

2. “And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43)

3. “For He remembered that they were but flesh, a breath that passes away and does not come again.” (Psalm 78:39)

4. “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice “and come forth–those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.” (John 5:28-29)

5. “And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Daniel 12:2)

Finally, reincarnation in Christianity is a contaminant and a weed that must not be allowed to destroy the good plant. Don’t believe it because transmigration is not real and it is bunch of lies!! 

I pray for God’s wisdom into your life and the Spirit of the LORD won’t depart from you in Jesus’ name.

Spiritual Dream: How to Interpret and Take Dreams Seriously!

Spiritual Dream: How to Interpret and Take Dreams Seriously!

Spiritual dream may be gentle or aggressive but the truth is that it disseminates important message to warn or get you prepared for a victorious journey. 

Today’s sermon explains the types of dreams, how to get meaning to your dreams and how to identify a spiritual dream.

What is a Spiritual Dream?

Spiritual dream is a revelation that occurs during your sleep. It’s a medium that is used by GOD and the devil to interact with you. It is a medium for disseminating information to you and it’s also a battle field. Your soul and spirit are actively involved in spiritual dream.

When to Take Dream Seriously!

It’s not a big deal if you dreamt flying an aeroplane and you got crashed into the sea, swimming and shooting at your enemies if you’d watch an action movie the previous day!

Take your dream seriously if you do all the check-list and confirm that it was not the reflection of the previous day(s) activities, thoughts and imaginations.

Your soul is so powerful that it can store a lot of things you do including imaginations which could be re-played to your sub-conscious state when you are fast-asleep.

Is it Good to Believe in dreams?

Sensible dreams are not for everyone because it is not a spiritual gift to many. So, consider yourself to be among the favoured if you can sleep and wake up to narrate your dreams.

“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.” (Joel 2:28)

I don’t joke with my dreams because they always come to pass. I can’t count all the advantages of dream because God uses it to tell me what would happen the next day or in the nearest future.

Yes, the devil and his demons come to attack with the intention to stop me from revealing his secrets to people, but they are always defeated by the power of the LORD who lives in me.

 It is good to believe dreams if you are very sure it’s not as a result of your imaginations. Good or bad dreams prepare you for the challenge ahead and it guides you to know how to pray and actions to take during the day’s activities.

What to do after dreams?

1. Write your dreams in a designated book.

2. If it is either sweet dreams don’t be too excited or bad dreams don’t be overwhelmed with fear.

3. Many dreams require interpretation, so, you need the help of the Holy Spirit. I reluctantly recommend sharing with your Pastor because he might not be gifted to interpret, but when you pray to the LORD, He would tell you more about the spiritual dream.

4. Don’t procrastinate the obedience of God’s instruction you received through dreams.

5. Sweet spiritual dream does not encourage you to be spiritually lazy. Joseph’s dreams were enough for him to be lazy but he wasn’t.

Spiritual dream is another world of reality that is capable of influencing your physical world. Take dreams seriously and pray about it.

10 Sure Ways to Become Transformed by the Holy Spirit

10 Sure Ways to Become Transformed by the Holy Spirit

To be transformed by the Holy Spirit means a supernatural configuration of your body, soul and spirit. Spiritual transformation makes you have a share in God’s Glory.

Do you want to be famous like Moses, highly informed like the Prophets, powerful like Jesus Christ, rugged like the disciples of Jesus Christ, rich like Rebecca or rule the world like Joseph? Then your life must be transformed by the Holy Spirit today!

Not everyone who gives their life to Jesus is transformed. Why? Because they confess Jesus Christ as their saviour with their mouth, go to church regularly, pay tithes but refused to surrender everything about their body, soul and spirit to God for control.

Today’s sermon would teach you how to join the premium category of Christians who are transformed by the Holy Spirit.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of GOD. No one can comprehend everything about GOD and His Spirit except the few He reveals to us.

GOD is so powerful that His Spirit is actively present everywhere and not considering where His Being is enthroned.

Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 says: “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”

Jesus says: “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.” (John 15:26)

The prophecy of Jesus as stated above means the Spirit of the LORD will be with us permanently unlike the Old Testament.

7 Preparatory Steps to Make You Transformed by the Holy Spirit

The book of Luke chapter 19 verse 1 to 10 narrated the story of Zacchaeus:

“…Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

So, he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him… And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

So, he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully…Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold. And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house…””

Let’s use the story of the transformed chief tax collector as our guide:

1. Strive to know GOD and Jesus Christ

Read the Bible, attend Bible studies and hear from genuine servants of GOD.

2. Disallow Distraction and Procrastination

I am not surprise that anyone who seeks to be transformed by the Holy Spirit is always distracted, because it’s the strategy of the devil. Reject anything that would discourage you from moving closer to Jesus Christ.

3. Delight to be in the presence of Jesus Christ

4. Don’t be monotonous in your prayers but patiently hear from the LORD as well. Praise and Worship GOD.

5. Obey all the instructions of the LORD given through Jesus Christ. Obedience is paramount in the process of spiritual transformation.

6. Repent from all sins and do restitution where possible. Don’t live an active sinful life with the claims that GOD’s grace is abundant for you.

7. Always write about the Gospel of Jesus Christ on your social media platforms. Evangelism is not for a caucus but for everyone!

Why Must I be Renewed by the Holy Spirit?

To become transformed by the Holy Spirit is not magical and not for the lazy souls. You must be focused and faithful to the LORD because Christian race is not a sluggish one.

“Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” (Luke 13:23-24)

Scriptural references showed that glorious transformation would have effect on your; physical appearance, thoughts and spirituality.

The objective of GOD to get you transformed by the Holy Spirit is to make you be like Him. You cannot be GOD but HE expects you to imitate some of His Holy attributes.

Whenever anyone or a voice tells you that you cannot be like GOD, remember I told you that it is the voice of the devil.

“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.’” (Leviticus 19:2)

10 Attributes that makes you transformed into Glory

Transformation involves moving away completely from the old sinful life to the new holy lifestyle controlled by the Holy Spirit.

1. Stop fornication and adultery and start self-control.

2. Cease idolatry practices and worship GOD only.

3. Quit sorcery and false prophets and always hear from the LORD.

4. Don’t hate your neighbour but love and pray for your enemies.

5. Replace selfish ambition with selfless service to humanity.

6. Dissociate yourself from heresies and stay firm in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

7. Stop drunkenness and start drinking plenty water.

8. Don’t fight but be gentle. Don’t watch boxing or wrestling but watch those little kids playing down the street…

9. Cease thinking about things of this world but start thinking about things in heaven.

10. Move away from laziness and excuses and commence a hardworking style with smart wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

By the grace of the LORD, I am transformed by the Holy Spirit and all the points I shared with you above are helpful to sustain my relationship with the LORD.

I recommend the steps above to you and your life will never remain the same. You would move from glory to glory in Jesus’ name.
