THE NEHEMIAH INCARNATES. 

3 reasons why God rejects a nation

To explain to people how God's presence has left countries is surprisingly depressing. 

In the case of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, God may reject an entire country, but not every individual within it. Only Lot and his family were spared, however. 

Does God still disfavor some nations in this century, someone might wonder? 

Yes, God has truly forsaken some nations, but not all people.

Easy-to-Read Version Romans 1:21-22 People knew God, but they did not honor him as God, and they did not thank him. Their ideas were all useless. There was not one good thought left in their foolish minds. They said they were wise, but they became fools.

1. Nations that does not acknowledge God as who He is are nations that incur the wrath of God.

Today, there are nations that are aware of God and His authority but still hold the belief that there is no God. Some cultures believe they have reached the point where there is no God because of books or scientific views. 

They believe that honoring and worshiping God is a loss of time relative to their advancements and outputs. People turn churches into factories, persecute Christians who worship God, kill pastors, etc. because they think they can live without God. 

Despite being aware of God's presence, they refuse to worship him. They may have a high GPD, be well-known, powerful compared to other nations, and have produced corporate titans, but because they rejected God, God is not with them.

These countries see themselves to be much wiser than God, they can produce everything they want, they can buy humans, they have others depending on them.

The word of God calls these people fools, we the developing countries we see them to be much wiser, we see some of the countries that stands against God but doing well economically as people who have stability so we give them much respect but the word of God calls them fools.

2. Idol worshiping

 Romans 1:23 Instead of honoring the divine greatness of God, who lives forever, they traded it for the worship of idols—things made to look like humans, who get sick and die, or like birds, animals, and snakes.

Countries that practice idolatry have no connection to God; instead, they prefer to venerate God's creations rather than the Creator God. 

We have great nations that venerate Satan himself, worship animals, have given evil spirits control over them, are ruled by occult forces, worship various animals, and engage in rituals dedicated to them.

Jonah 2:8

[8]They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Such individuals reject the mercy of themselves, the love of God, the power of God, and the presence of God. They bring God's vengeance against their own souls upon themselves.  

All of these gods are fictitious, they will get you into difficulty, and they will mislead the course of the country. Satan weakens nations rather than strengthening them, which causes the presence of God to flee. Satan does not elevate nations for strength or glory.

Easy-to-Read Version Ezekiel 20:24-27 “‘The people of Israel did not obey my commands. They refused to obey my laws. They treated my special days of rest as though they were not important, and they worshiped the filthy idols of their fathers. So I gave them laws that were not good. I gave them commands that would not bring life. I let them make themselves filthy with their gifts. They even began to sacrifice their own firstborn children. In this way I would destroy them. Then they would know that I am the Lord.’ So now, son of man, speak to the family of Israel. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: The people of Israel said bad things about me and made evil plans against me.

3. Sexual Immorality

People only think of homosexuality when we discuss sexual sin; they fail to recognize that fornication, bestiality, prostitution, adultery, and other acts are also included. 

God strongly disapproves of these countries because, the moment they adopt them, they open the door to Satan's influence and put an end to God's plans for humanity. It's a type of behavior that results from a depraved mentality. 

People really do turn evil in their hearts, which causes such a country to experience God's wrath.

Genesis 19:1-25

[1]And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

[2]And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

[3]And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

[4]But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

[5]And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

[6]And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

[7]And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

[8]Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

[9]And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

[10]But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

[11]And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

[12]And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

[13]For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

[14]And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

[15]And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

[16]And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

[17]And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

[18]And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

[19]Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

[20]Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

[21]And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

[22]Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

[23]The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

[24]Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

[25]And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Sodom and Gomorrah were annihilated by God as a result of their sexual immorality. Many places in the world today still view it as wisdom, nonsense, or something merely pleasant and delectable while ignoring what the Lord God Almighty did to Sodom and Gomorrah. 

Any country that embraces and upholds this is at odds with God. Let's exercise caution as a people and as individuals to avoid becoming a target of the devil's schemes to undermine the states during this final age. 

Wake up, for many great countries have become like Babylon, and when Babylon fell, a great nation lost its greatness due to pride, rejection of God, acceptance of Satan's ordinances, and engaging in wicked behavior.

We must maintain our Righteousness if we as a country want to see God's presence in the future. 

All of these schemes are the devil's doing; they are a part of his strategies during this final age to draw many people into his realm. 

Thank you for reading, and feel free to comment or pose any questions.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

We may have heard of Charles Robert Darwin's myth of the pre-historic man, which he wrote about in his book "On The Origin Of Species" in relation to his beliefs in the evolution of men. I refute any other form of creation apart from that of what is written in the scripture, because it is the truth and the valid.

The truth is that God created mankind in His image and likeness. We are not from a cave or a rock, but are entirely God's creation.

Easy-to-Read Version Genesis 1:26-28 Then God said, “Now let’s make humans who will be like us. They will rule over all the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. They will rule over all the large animals and all the little things that crawl on the earth.” So God created humans in his own image. He created them to be like himself. He created them male and female. God blessed them and said to them, “Have many children. Fill the earth and take control of it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. Rule over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

In their minds, mankind was like a monkey, fighting for the few resources available to survive. It was a war for daily bread, a war for everything good, and only the strongest survived such a life.

If you are not stronger, you will not be able to eat or live to your satisfaction.

In this article, I extracted the concept of survival of the fittest and compared it to scriptures about how people live today. It is a well-known fact that in order for a man to survive in this celestial and physical world, he must be stronger in a variety of ways.

Life is indeed full of warfare; the world is like a battleground where people battle a variety of physical and spiritual challenges, principalities, demons, Satan, witches, and so on.

A man must be stronger than his opponent or enemies in order to survive and live his destiny in this world. Nothing comes cheap or on a silver platter. Even our Master, Jesus Christ, never had anything handed to Him on a silver platter; He fought battles until He triumphed.

Your destiny is a threat to someone's kingdom, and the mission given to you to save souls makes you an enemy of Satan and all his agents. Either you survive the system or you die.

 Easy-to-Read Version Ephesians 6:12-13 Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing.

You must survive this war because everything you will need to win has been provided for.

Our enemies are not prevented from approaching us or from waging war against us, our family, business, academics, and so on, but the word of God teaches us how to defeat them. You must always wear God's full armor in order to stay strong and win battles, or you will perish before your time.

You are not afraid when war is declared because you are fully armored with God's armor.

Ephesians 6:14-18 So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist, and on your chest wear the protection of right living. On your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong. And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the Evil One. Accept God’s salvation as your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people.

After putting on the armor, you must always pray fervently and in the spirit. You must pray every day and stand in the gap for your family, business, academics, and so on in order to survive.

If you do not stand, the devil will come and scatter everything you have built through integrity and hard work.

Because you are fully armed, you can stand as a soldier, pray as a soldier, and survive all warfare.

God bless you for taking the time to read this.

Thy Kingdom Come

Easy-to-Read Version Matthew 6:9-10 So this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, we pray that your name will always be kept holy. We pray that your kingdom will come— that what you want will be done here on earth, the same as in heaven.

This prayer is for God's rulership to take over your day. God is a king, and every king wields power in his domain.

We know God sits high above, and even though the earth is His foot stool, you must pray to Him if you want Him to rule your life and world as He rules heaven.

The prayer asks Abba to rule your world for you.

It's one of the prayers that demonstrates complete reliance on God.

When God has control over your life, He does whatever He wants. He takes care of you and so on.

So when God's kingdom comes into your life, these are the benefits you are going to gain; 

Matthew 6:11-15 Give us the food we need for today. Forgive our sins, just as we have forgiven those who did wrong to us. Don’t let us be tempted, but save us from the Evil One.’ Yes, if you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, then your Father in heaven will also forgive your wrongs. But if you don’t forgive others, then your Father in heaven will not forgive the wrongs you do.

1. God provides for you food. 

When you rely on God, He becomes both your shepherd and your king. Every king is responsible for his subjects' lives. They exist as kings not only because of their position, but also because of their native people and national affairs. "The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want," David said.

He will undoubtedly provide for you because you have placed yourself under His authority.

So He will give it to you if you ask.

Easy-to-Read Version Matthew 7:7 “Continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you.

As you ask daily as Jesus taught the disciples so it shall be provided unto you by the Lord.

2. God's will will be done in your life. 

If you want God's will for your life to be fulfilled, you must allow God to guide you on a daily basis to do what He wills rather than what you always will.

Our will as nations results in destruction, while our will as individuals results in death.

Today, nations are fighting each other for power, money, rankings, fame, authority, and so on. This is all because our hearts are full of evil and our paths do not lead to peace. According to the Bible, "God's will is life."

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that people think is right, but it leads only to death.

Most of the time, we believe that what we choose gives us perfect life and peace, but it is God's will for us to be in unity and love.

3. God will protect us. 

When God rules over your life, day, or world, He will protect you in the same way that the mountains encircle Zion.

Simply submit your will to Him, allow Him to take over your moment, and He will protect you forever.

We don't know how to protect ourselves from the devil's schemes because they are spiritual; it is God who protects and delivers us from all forms of evil.

Just allow His presence to brood over you and you shall experience the good things it brings.

Easy-to-Read Version Psalm 91:1-14 You can go to God Most High to hide. You can go to God All-Powerful for protection. I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.” God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases. You can go to him for protection. He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield. You will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day. You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon. A thousand people may fall dead at your side or ten thousand right beside you, but nothing bad will happen to you! All you will have to do is watch, and you will see that the wicked are punished. You trust in the Lord for protection. You have made God Most High your place of safety. So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home. He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock. You will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes. The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them. I will protect my followers who call to me for help.

Today, as we celebrate our 66th Independence Day or anniversary, let us submit our will to the Lord, and He will direct us, provide for us, rule perfectly over us, and deliver us from all kinds of wicked people who plot against our nation or individuals in secret.

Ask God to protect you, ask God to rule over Ghana, ask God to make His will for the country be activated, He shall let His own will be done for our will is full of selfish ambitions, full of propaganda because of power and authority, full of murders because of money and fame, full of anxiety because we don't see what we expected.

We may be disappointed in most of the governments that have governed our country, but when God fully takes over, we will see significant changes.

In Jesus' name, I pray that we will recognize that God is the only one who can take care of us, and that we will be humble under God's authority.

Thank you, Father, for teaching us today how to walk in your presence, how to accept and submit to your will. Thank you for demonstrating the benefits that will accrue as we continue to abide in you and you in us; may your name be praised forever and ever, Amen.

The Story Of Baruch 

In the Bible, Baruch was the scribe for Jeremiah the Prophet. Jeremiah was once temporarily barred from entering the temple of God by King Jehoiakim, so he would send his scribe instead. Baruch the writer is to go to the temple and read the prophecies that God has given Jeremiah which he wrote in the scroll.

Easy-to-Read Version Jeremiah 36:2-6 “Jeremiah, get a scroll and write on it all the messages I have spoken to you. I have spoken to you about the nations of Israel and Judah and all the other nations. Write all the words that I have spoken to you from the time that Josiah was king, until now. Maybe the people of Judah will hear what I am planning to do to them and will stop doing bad things. If they will do that, I will forgive them for the terrible sins they have committed.” So Jeremiah called a man named Baruch son of Neriah. Jeremiah spoke the messages the Lord had given him. While he spoke, Baruch wrote the messages on the scroll. Then Jeremiah said to Baruch, “I cannot go to the Lord’s Temple. I am not allowed to go there. So I want you to go to the Temple of the Lord. Go there on a day of fasting and read to the people from the scroll. Read to the people the messages from the Lord that you wrote on the scroll as I spoke them to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come into Jerusalem from the towns where they live.

Because of the King's evil deeds—he despised God while serving as monarch and did things that are against God's word—the king was greatly offended by the Lord's words.

Because of how much Jeremiah and Baruch were loved, the prince of Judah kept them concealed from the king even as the king issued an order that Jeremiah and Baruch, the author of the prophecies of God, be brought before him.

Baruch believed that the monarch would value his work because he had recorded God's message to the nation through the Prophet Jeremiah. However, this actually caused him to face difficulties and persecution.

He became bitter and dissatisfied with the situation. The king desired that Jeremiah and Baruch be killed for pronouncing the judgement of God against them. Jeremiah and his people regard Baruch as very loyal, humble, and respected. He was a very young man who loved doing his work for the Lord, but he was poor.

Easy-to-Read Version Jeremiah 45:1-5 In the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, Jeremiah the prophet spoke these things to Baruch son of Neriah. Baruch wrote them on a scroll. This is what Jeremiah said to Baruch: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you: ‘Baruch, you have said, “It is very bad for me. The Lord has given me sorrow along with my pain. I am very tired. I am worn out because of my suffering. I cannot find rest.” Jeremiah, tell Baruch that this is what the Lord says: I will tear down what I have built, and I will pull up what I have planted. I will do that everywhere in Judah. Baruch, you are looking for great things for yourself. Don’t look for them, because I will make terrible things happen to all the people.’ This is what the Lord said. ‘You will have to go many places. But I will let you escape alive wherever you go.’”

The Lord carried out His promise by destroying their land, and Baruch fell into a deep depression. During the persecution, his heart was broken, and he said, "The Lord has combined my sorrow with my pain. I'm exhausted ". "I am tiered!" exclaims a large number of Christians. Yes, the journey may be difficult at times, but we are not to look back or feel disappointed by God.

He, the Lord Jesus Christ, did not deceive us when He opened His arms to receive us. He has also stated that we will face a series of temptations for the sake of His name.

When we face trials and temptations, we must count it all joy.

Easy-to-Read Version James 1:2-4 My brothers and sisters, you will have many kinds of trouble. But this gives you a reason to be very happy. You know that when your faith is tested, you learn to be patient in suffering. If you let that patience work in you, the end result will be good. You will be mature and complete. You will be all that God wants you to be.

Today, many young men in the church do not want to go through persecution, pruning, or anything else that has to do with trials, and they forget that it is through trials that growth and faith are produced.

They rather give up by saying "I am tired!". They may grow weary of the ministry, church, truth, faithfulness, holiness, and loyalty, prayers, and so on, and thus compromise.

Baruch desired to compromise his faith by adoring worldly things.

He wanted great things for himself because he didn't know why he was poor, why he was suffering, why the scroll he wrote was burned, so he wanted to seek greater things for himself that could have brought him great destruction.

"Baruch, you are looking for great things for yourself. Don’t look for them, because I will make terrible things happen to all the people."

The things of this world that we yearn for on a daily basis can pull us away from God's Love. When you seek greater things for yourself outside of God, it may become a god to you, and that very thing can destroy you.

The Lord has said in His words that there will come a time when he will destroy all those who have relied on the material things of this world rather than on Him. He will bring complete destruction to all who did not seek Him but instead sought other things.

Please keep in mind that we should not enter the world because of persecution; we should not enter the world and reject our first love because we are not seeing what we expected in our lives. Remember that the will of the Lord for our lives is life, and ours is death.

May be you have not seen the gleams of your future, God may take you to places but you are passing through fire today, do not be dismayed for His words says "I am with you always till the end of the world".

He, the Lord, will deliver you from all the perils of the land and prosper you.

Continue to dwell under the secret place of God. Continue to abide in Him and He shall abide in you. 

Don't seek for yourself the greater things, don't say to yourself my friends are buying cars even in their young stage so I also just do all I can do afford a car at this your stage. 

Don't say my friends are sleeping with people or their opposite gender, but they still prophesy or attend church, so I'll compromise my faith as well.

Pleasures of this world can eliminate you from being a elect of God.

Seekst thou greater things for thyself? Look for them not!!

Concentrate, and God will bless you regardless. Amen

 OBEY THE CALLING 

DO THE MINISTRY

EXPAND THE KINGDOM 

You must respond to God's call on your life to serve in ministry.

Many people are aware that God has called them to the ministry.

Prophecies, dreams, pastors, earnest passion, and other means can reveal this.

Many more people continue to hear God's voice calling them into ministry.

You must understand that whoever takes on God's work is doing a good job.

HEB 3:15

As it is said, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

There are so many that do not obey the call of God, they rebel against the authority of God, because when you don't obey you rebel.

When God calls you, you must respond to the calling and act as He want you to do.

Jer 1:7

But the LORD said to me: "Do not say, "I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 

For there are many people who refuse to go or respond to the call because they believe they are too young.

Many young people who are called to ministry believe they are too young and incapable of doing anything for God.

Remember that God calls or chooses whomever He wants, and when He chooses you, it means that He has made some heavenly deposits in you, that you will bring people closer to Him or souls for Him. It makes no difference your age or where you come from. When you do not respond, you waste the resources that have been deposited in you.

God becomes angry with you because you have decided to waste the resources that could have been given to someone else. "To whom much is given, much is expected".

Others don't respond or obey because they are afraid of where God is sending them.

When God calls you, the direction He puts you is the most important thing and people lose this because they even take it mean.

Jonah 4:2

And he prayed to the LORD and said, "O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. 

Others believe that God should rather punish people for their sins than send others to preach to them on a daily basis.

Some believe it is a waste of time to spend every day preaching to others while the majority of people sin.

Jonah was tired and angry of God's grace and mercy upon sinners.

You must obey the calling of God, like God said unto Jeremiah "don't say I am young" this means your current situation does not guarantee where He is sending you to, He take care of you and yours is to obey or respond.

2 Timothy 4:2

[2]Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

You must carry out the ministry. As the Apostle Paul says, preach the gospel in all seasons.

You are not required to fold your arms.

Preach the gospel or do whatever else has been given to you for the glory of God.

Do not be sluggish, do not put off, do not hesitate, do what has been entrusted to you, for every work will be judged before our Lord God Almighty.

 As you do the ministry, you must also think of expanding that which you  are called to do. Win more souls for Christ, increase your ability in the Lord and your contribution towards the kingdom business.

John 15:16

[16]Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

 Do Not Reject Your Root

When we forget our roots, who are we?

When we see our roots as evil and disadvantageous, we forget that we all came from the same root. You are evil if you call them evil. Don't go somewhere thinking you've entered a no-evil zone; even if it's paradise, you may be perceived as evil and they will fear you.

You forget that your life is a cycle, and that the root that produced you will be the same root that will lay you to rest? The person you despise the most may be the one who musters the courage to bathe and dress you. You will not be able to choose any of your best dresses, but they will.

 They will not give you your best shoe; the young ones you did not respect may be the ones who carry your body to the place where nature settles man after death.

Remember what the Bible says "he who forget to cater for his own household or people is worse than an unbeliever".

Do not take pride in yourself and believe that you are where you are because of your power and might.

"God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors," Joseph said.

 "For one word sums up the entire law: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

You forget your own roots, you become ignorant, you don't hide yourself from them and then let them bury you, this means you treated your body as a waste, which is a sign of disrespect. Your own friends and strangers you've chosen over your family will pay you a last respect, but some of your friends may not even get an appointment because they'll be kept busy and may not pay you a last respect. Remember, let humility guide you, and remember your own family; you won't leave a large and positive legacy if you don't raise someone above your standard in this life.

Can you appreciate your roots?

Can you return to them and assist them with the blessings that God has bestowed upon you?

Attend a funeral to learn how to be humble and why you must love others before you die. You may have fun with your friends today and forget about your family, but remember who helps you sleep at the end. Stop labeling people as evil and stop fearing everyone, because there is no fear in love. A wise man considers the end when loving one another. It is more beautiful and powerful to count your people's burden as your own; then you will find mercy and honor in the sight of the Lord God.

DISCERN THIS END TIME

 You don't need to know the names of demons or fallen angels before you can overcome them, you need your Bible and you are done.

Some of you want to know how to overcome the devil as a Christian and you are reading a whole demonology books 😅. Can I tell you what? Please stop reading those books if your purpose is to overcome the devil and all the demons, you need obedience, faith and knowledge. You are done!!!!! 

We get faith from knowledge and faith produces obedience.

You need to know what is in the Bible, I tell you the gospel truth that the Bible is enough for you to become a mighty man in the spirit.

That's why by God's grace I have written *"Knowing And Overcoming The Tactics Of Satan and His Agnets"*... It is based on the scripture and whatever I have written is a tool for you to use to overcome the devil and all his incarnate.

 There is no much relevance in knowing where Beelzebub sits, sleep, walks, eats or drink. It is not important to know all the names of the demons as a Christian. Know that they all have one purpose and the word of God tells us. Just don't be ignorant and you will overcome them daily.

If you live a righteous life, your life on earth will be directed by God Himself. You don't have to control the demons, you don't have to know be worrying about them for is God directs your path, it will be unto you like there is no demon nor witch around you. Because the Lord will let you have enough peace.

 If you want peace be obedient to God. I am writing it unto you again, you will live on this earth as though demons does not know you. Demons do exist but when God directs your path and protects you, where is their power?

*"Know God, study His words and you will also know who the devil is. "*

 I am telling you the truth as a Christian, is not all knowledge you must seek. Be curious to know more but not from every book else you will fall easily. Even some Christian books written by some authors can mislead you. I love to increase knowledge, I love learning what is needed and important as well but it's not all sources that I consume.

Study the word of God, pray daily and you shall become mighty man in the spirit.

I believe there are Christians who are reading the 6 and 7 book of Moses. I beg, it's not important, it's not for you. If you don't take care by the time you finish reading some books then you are possessed.

 I know there many Christians and pastors, prophets who use or read Zadioc signs, who use the 6 and 7 books of Moses. It's dangerous thing you are using. You will fall under a strange power you don't know.

Please be careful, stop all these things and focus on your ministry.

 You've started reading palms, you've started using numbers, you've started seeing strange spirits in your dreams communicating with you and giving you things. You think it's the power of God. You are being exposed to witchraft. Soothsayer, Necromancers, Wicthes and wizards incarnates are now pastoring in many churches now.

Most of you are lost, you've become a servant for a didferent master.

 This why as a Christian you must develop God's spirit. Else this end time you will fall!!

Please you need the *spirit of Discernment.*

At least develop your spirit to come to the stage where you can detect people who are genuine and those who are not.

 That's why by the grace of the Almighty God I don't struggle to detect those who are of God and those who are not through discernment.

I watch many from the Tele, face to face and my spirit does not agree with what they are doing or saying. My spirit does not approve them as it detects them and so truly they may not be of God.

 Discernment of the spirit is a gift.

Truly there are others to they are born with it. They can detect things faster and know if those things are right or wrong.

It's different from discretion. Discernment can lead you to become discrete because through it you will make right selection.

You don't need spiritual eye before you can discern.

 Discernment judges through words, actions of a person etc.

When it's satan that is speaking you will know, if it's a false prophet or teacher that is speaking, you will detect it faster, you can even know the spirit of others. Time can be discerned, spirit are discerned, knowledge are discerned all to determine whether they are true or not.

 That's why when by God's grace I listen to some pastors on Tele, if you are lying I will know faster. Even you can know false prophets.

You can detect false teachers. Most of the time, when I listen to most of them I know they are liars.

Please this end time as a believe you need to get this gift. Else false teachers and prophet rising up this end time can deceive you easily.

This gift can make you so sensitive in the spirit. It can help you escape 

 It can also help you optimize your spiritual availability in the spirit realm.

Most of them times you will see from the Bible *"watch"*, but the truth of the matter is that when you don't have this gift some times you watching is some how limited.

What I am saying is not about spiritual eye nor ears. I am taking about Discernment. 

Even a prophet without discernment of the spirit can fail. It accompanies a lot of prophets in their prophetic ministry.

Most of the times the prophets that prophecy unto us also speaks from discernment but not from audiovisuals.

Please ask God to help you discern this end time. You really need it to overcome.

It's a very important tool. At least as a shepherd you need it. You have to discern what's happening, you must discern the times and the seasons. It will make you and your sheep escape from many evil.

I pray for you, may the Almighty Lord God unleash upon you the gift of discernment in Jesus name.

May He the Lord reveal unto who is of Him and who is not, may He reveal unto you the times and the seasons, may He give you debth in the knowledge of His words.

May you and I become mighty men, great men of Valor in Jesus name. Amen

 THREE REASONS WHY YOU MUST FORGIVE

As humans, we are not infallible; we can make mistakes to our fellows both knowingly and unknowingly, but we must forgive one another in order to maintain peace and brotherly love.

Colossians 3:13

[13]Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

What you may have gone through as someone erred against you may have been a difficult time for you as a Christian or believer, it may have cost you long-term or short-term pains, but we are to forgive one another.

The Bible explains why we must forgive and the power it possesses when we forgive one another.

"How many times do I have to forgive?" someone might ask.

Well Jesus said or made it clear that we should forgive all the time. 

Matthew 18:21-22

[21]Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

[22]Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

What is 70 times 7? 

1400 is the answer right? 

Are you going to keep track of how many times people have wronged you?

Then Abba Father will begin to tire of us when our sins total 1400.

If we do not want it that way, we must forgive others.

In this article, I'll explain why you should forgive and the benefits of forgiving others.

1. God Will Forgive You 

Matthew 6:14

[14]For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

When you forgive a brother or sister, God will forgive you.

We mostly sin against God, and we sin against Him far more than our neighbors do to us, so when we can find a place in our hearts to forgive, we will be shown mercy.

Job 42:10

[10]And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

The Lord blessed Job once more when he obeyed the Lord's voice and prayed for his three enemies. If it had been you and me, we would have rejected them because they are not good friends. They don't believe in us, so we'll claim they're fake and are laughing at our misfortune. Overall, the Lord commanded Job to pray for them, and this is how Job was restored.

Matthew 5:7

[7]Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Luke 6:37

[37]Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

2. It Brings Peace And Unity Among Brethren 

Proverbs 17:9

[9]He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

When we forgive others for what they have done to us, a peaceful relationship continues; however, when the matter is repeated or we continue to harbor hatred because of the wrong they have done us, we will be separated by misunderstanding or hatred.

Forgiveness brings unity to marriages, friendships, and families, among other things.

3. It Is A Commandment 

Matthew 5:44

[44]But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

The Bible says that we must forgive those who sin against us in this way.

We must learn to forgive on a daily basis in order for our prayers to be answered and for us not to become corrupt as a result of the evil they have caused us. We must do this on a daily basis in order for our hearts to be clean before the Lord.

Are God's Ministers to be Worshipped Or Honoured?

There is a significant distinction between honoring and worshiping.

Nowadays, young pastors idolize elderly pastors. This is where power loving can send you to: you will always bow before others rather than God. Honouring can be worship, but it is limited to our fellow men. 

Revelation 22:8-9

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Even the angel Gabriel was asking John the Revelator to stop worshipping him.

Acts 10:25-26

And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

PETER ALSO DENIED IT! 

The majority of you enjoy having power, anointing, and gifts that God gives more than loving God Himself whom we are to worship and serve. 

You've overlooked the crucial element of your calling. Now that you're compromising and crooked, like most of your fathers are,

Where does it say that we are to bow down to our fellow humans or the Apostles in worship?

You claim is what you faith directs you to do? You are mentally ill and lost!

Who bewitched you?

You now put more faith in anointing than in God. While you are in ministry, God's presence will leave you.

Please take caution. Even is angels denied it how much more humans who have recieved droplet of the anointing? 

Why do we fool ourselves?

Why do we love God's things more than Himself?

Why do we tolerate bad cultures in the Body of Christ ?

Why are young ministers doing this? 

Why are the fathers accepting this?

In the past, the Apostles would rather train the young to love God, serve God, preach Christ, and make a significant impact as they lay hands on them to preach Christ...

It's a disgrace to see men of God constantly preaching about their spiritual fathers, even more than they should preach about Christ to the congregation . 

I understand honoring and appreciating others, but now it has turned to another false doctrine that we must confront head on.

1 Peter 5:3. Don't be bossy to those people who are in your care, but set an example for them...

Awww both young and the fathers, let us be humble enough. Let us be example unto them in speech, humility and our sincerity towards God and our fellow not becoming Lord over them.

Have I imparted knowledge?

I don't care if I offended you!!!

If everything I preach all day sweetens you all the time, then I am not telling you the truth.

Don't get offended again, I say.

The majority of the Shepherds are COWARDS. 

I ask the Lord to have mercy on us. Amen

We Can Honour Our Pastors By

1. Acknowledging T

1 Thessalonians 5:12

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

You must acknowledge them positively, respect them wherever you see them, love them, and see their presence as a blessing. Do not taint the image of those whom God has sent you. It encourages them in their service to God as well as to you, the flock.

2. Respect and admire them.

1 Thessalonians 5:13

And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselve

As a flock of sheep, you must respect and love the shepherds more. Respect them for who they are and what they stand for. Not worshiping them, but lovingly owning them for the sake of the work kindness and honour . They keep an eye on your souls. Give them the respect they deserve, and you will be blessed.

3. Give Them Double and Tangible Honour

1 Timothy 5:17

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

You can give them money as a token of gratitude for teaching you the correct doctrine and the word of God.

They deserve our respect, but not our worship. You can give them arms, support them in various ways, and make them feel at ease while doing ministry. Make them feel pampered and content all of the time.

Romans 13:1-7

[1]Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

[2]Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

[3]For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

[4]For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

[5]Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

 [6]For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

[7]Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

THE PERSONALITIES AND IMPORTANCE OF DIVINE WISDOM

DIVINE WISDOM - PART 2

Because it is a spirit, God's Wisdom has a personality without a body.

The author of Proverbs spoke more about it as a personality and its benefits to mankind.

Proverbs 2:1-6

[1]My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

[2]So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

[3]Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

[4]If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

[5]Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

[6]For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

He used the word "her" for wisdom as if it were a person with a body. Yes, the Spirit is a person with emotions, and so are His gifts.

When you desire something, search for it, and pray to the Lord with faith for it, He will give it to you.

All of God's gifts are desired and prayed for, including Wisdom.

1 Corinthians 14:1

[1]Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

When you desire something, simply pray for it with faith, and the Lord will grant it to you as He did to Solomon.

That's James 1:5 says, "if any of you lacks Wisdom, you should ask".

When you gain wisdom, you reap numerous benefits in both your spiritual and physical lives.

If you are a Christian and lack God's Wisdom, you are very likely to fall, because the enemy who is fighting with us uses deceptive words to deceive people.

So, when wisdom enters your heart or enters your life, it gives or makes you:

1. Discrete 

 2. Understanding

3. Get Long life and prosperity

4. Love to increase knowledge of God

5. Conscious of judgement And Risk

6. Shun the love of money (riches)

7. Honor your parent

To be discreet means to have or demonstrate discernment or good judgment in one's conduct, particularly in one's speech: PRUDENT

When you gain wisdom, you become more discreet. You make responsible decisions that will not harm you but will keep you safe from the devil's plans and will save you from all kinds of failures.

You choose good things and say things that will not lead you to destruction, because the tongue leads many to destruction, but wisdom allows you to live and conquer with ease.

Proverbs 21:23

[23]Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

With God's wisdom, you will filter every word that comes out of your mouth and present it to both man and God so that it does not harm your soul.

For there are many people who promised God but were unable to fulfill it, and as a result, the Lord punished them, and some were even killed (Ananias And The Wife).

When you become discreet, you will be able to recognize a woman, lady, man, or boy (dangerous person) who is evil and who can destroy your life, and you will be able to abstain from his or her ways so that you will be saved. It assists you in fleeing sin so that you may remain righteous before the Lord God.

Proverbs 2:16-19

[16]To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

[17]Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

[18]For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

[19]None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

You will gain the ability to deliver yourself from a strange woman.

The stranger in this context refers to a woman who does not know God and is strange to the kingdom because she is an agent.

Such a woman can knock you down and make you never get back up.

There are numerous examples of such ladies or women who have caused great men to lose their blessings, destinies, and everything good they brought to the world.

They can flatter you with their words: singing praises of you, telling you all kinds of sweet words just to make you fall for them and go on bed with them, knowing full well that you will commit sexual immorality with them and that you will perish.

They can sing praises of your handsomeness, show you higher kind of favor on campus as if love is their nature, even buy expensive things for you and make unusual closeness to you and if you don't realize they have slept with you and taken something valuable from you.

When they see a man or a young boy operating in the gifts of the Spirit, they may approach you, some may even attack you, show themselves naked to you, dress in any way to attract you, but when Wisdom enters your hearts, you will know and understand the kind of people they are, and you will reject them.

  Prov 7:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman:

  Prov 7:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words.

  Prov 7:6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

  Prov 7:7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

  Prov 7:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

  Prov 7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

  Prov 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

  Prov 7:11 (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

  Prov 7:12 Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

  Prov 7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him,

  Prov 7:14 [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

  Prov 7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

  Prov 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.

  Prov 7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

  Prov 7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

  Prov 7:19 For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey:

  Prov 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed.

  Prov 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

  Prov 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

  Prov 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life.

When Potiphar's wife wanted to commit sexual immorality with him, Joseph acted with great discretion.

Joseph knew the Lord was with him, and if he did that with Potiphar's wife, the Lord's presence would leave him.

Joseph was a young boy who carried God's presence, and everything he did was successful because he was holy in the eyes of the Lord.Genesis 39:1-8

[1]And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

[2]And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

[3]And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

[4]And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

[5]And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

[6]And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

[7]And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

[8]But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

He was a young, beautiful virgin with a great destiny.

Satan wanted to change his destiny, but he needed to go through someone. Satan is a personality without a body who operates through empty human beings (people who lack God's Spirit).

So Satan used Potiphar's wife as a tool of fornication in order to deprive Joseph of God's favor so that he could seize him.

Genesis 39:9-12

[9]There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

[10]And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

[11]And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

[12]And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

But Joseph, who feared the Lord, rejected Potiphar's wife's words and fled for his life so that he would not sin against the Lord.

He knew what the Lord had in store for him in the future, so he kept himself holy and always won God's favor.

If you want to gain God's favor, keep your self-holiness or become a virgin, and the Lord will increase and make you great.

Luke 1:30-31

[30]And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.

[31]And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

The secret to Mary's unusual favor from God is that she was a virgin and a God-fearing lady. Consider how Christians today praise Mary for bringing forth a whole savior of the world.

Fornication or adultery is a type of sin that destroys God's temple, the body. So, if you destroy the body, which is the temple of the Lord, the Holy Spirit will be unable to dwell in you because He despises all forms of uncleanliness, such as masturbation, lesbianism, and homosexuality, among others.

1 Corinthians 6:15-16,18-20

[15]Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

[16]What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

[18]Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

[19]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

[20]For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

2. Understanding

Understanding is a gift in and of itself, but when you are endowed with Wisdom, you also gain understanding.

The same spirit that gives Wisdom also gives you the ability to understand and helps you to grow in knowledge.

Every wise man has comprehension.

2 Chronicles 2:12

[12]Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

Isaiah 19:12; Jeremiah 9:12

It takes a wise and understanding spirit to build for the Lord. You become wise in His guise if you come to the realization that there is a God and acknowledge Him.

  Prov 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

Building is about more than just structure; it is about winning souls, gathering souls, and building your family with the fear of the Lord as the primary focus. It takes wisdom to reach this level of fear of the Lord and heartfelt service to Him.

Proverbs 11:30

[30]The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

So, in order to be considered wise, one must gain knowledge and understanding of soul winning through Wisdom. Why should the soul triumph?

If you have truly seen a light that can save others, you simply go to your friends who are stumbling in the darkness and invite them in love to join you in the light so that they, too, may be saved.

Selfish people are not wise because their prosperity is limited, but he who is free and gives freely as a soul winner is wise because his reward in heaven is great.

Is the foolish who scatters; if you are a leader who cannot gather but scatters, you are thought to be a man devoid of wisdom.

Proverbs 11:29

[29]He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

If you stand against your own, you will gain nothing in the future; when you are old, instead of enjoying the fruits of your labor, you will have nothing because none of your children will be financially or spiritually stable enough to support and care for you.

Such a person is akin to an ostrich, who does not care about its young and has no compassion for its family.

Job 39:13-15

[13]Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

[14]Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

[15]And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

They are very well-made, but they are extremely careless. They abandon the eggs or young on the ground and do not protect them. They forget that any wild beast that travels or creaps on the ground may knowingly or unknowingly crash into it.

So it takes Wisdom to keep your young ones; if you are a church or denominational leader, you must protect your young ones; you must understand that if you keep them somewhere and then turn to another place without protecting them, a wild beast will break or crush them, and you will never find them again in their natural state.

Job 39:16

[16]She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

She is even hardened against her own children, which is why we have fathers or parents who don't even care about their children, treating them as if they aren't his or hers.

Fathers or parents who reject their children as such are inexperienced and uneducated parents.

Job 39:17

[17]Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

As a result, all of these people lack wisdom.

Wisdom says you will shine forever and ever. A wise person gathers for tomorrow but not today, but the fool gathers and spends it all or does not gather at all because he does not think about tomorrow.

Lamentations 4:3

[3]Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

So, even if the monsters are compared to Ostriches, the monsters are correct or better than the Ostriches in the wilderness who don't think about their young ones, so such leaders are even more wicked than a monster. Cruel leaders, cruel parents, and cruel spiritual leaders are all as numerous as the Ostriches in the desert.

So, whether you are a religious leader, a government official, or a parent, you must ensure that you provide for your children. Allow them to go where you couldn't, and you will be rewarded in perpetuity.

Proverbs 3:13-15

[13]Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

[14]For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

[15]She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Remember that he who is given wisdom by the Lord is also given understanding, because the Spirit who gives wisdom is the one who helps us understand everything.

If you lack the Spirit of Wisdom, you will be unable to understand the things of the Spirit, which include the word of God and the things of God. This is why those who are in the world mostly speak against God's things. Some even insult pastors, curse Jesus, and commit other atrocities against those who follow Christ because they lack God's wisdom and understanding.

So Jesus asked the disciples to becareful, because those who are in the world have not thus mind with us. 

3. Long Life and Prosperity

Wisdom is required if you want to live a long and prosperous life with your loved ones. Wisdom keeps a man's path and preserves him so that his feet do not trip over the fouler's traps. We have so many people who have lost their lives as a result of their foolishness.Proverbs 3:16-17

[16]Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

[17]Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

People who joines the occult, people who uses their tongues not to speak good things, people who steals and all those who does something that directly affect their own soul and body. Wisdom gives you peace, Wisdom helps you to become sounded in all your endeavors that evil will not visit your doors.  

Proverbs 3:23-24

[23]Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

[24]When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Yes, we have people who cannot sleep because of sudden fear; many have sold their souls to the enemy for money, and they have been given orders to sacrifice so many things; they have been given orders so that they even fear to sleep and cannot get enough sleep. If you have Christ Jesus and the word in you, you are wise, and you will sleep soundly. You will not experience sudden fear because the Lord will keep you and your ways.

Psalm 91:1-11

If you truly want to live long and gain all riches, Wisdom is the most important thing you must have; fear the Lord and walk in accordance with His status.

There are so many people who died before their time because they rejected the word of God. 

They couldn't acknowledge the Lord and so He the Lord stood up against them. When Saul became too familiar with the Lord, he even decided to abandon the word the Lord spoke unto him and his life became miserable. 

1 Samuel 15:22-23,35

[22]And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

[23]For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

[35]And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Is it not true that Saul was not anointed by Samuel to lead Israel by the Lord God? But as of late, the same Lord has declared that He regrets making the same Saul king.

Never make fun of the God we worship; if you want a long life and prosperity, treat Him well. He will lift you up and bless you with wealth. When Moses, a man who had even seen and spoken with God, also disregarded a message He had given him, God took his life and caused someone else to succeed him.

Proverbs 4:7-12

[7]Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

[8]Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

[9]She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

[10]Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

[11]I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

[12]When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

You will find favor when you go out, and you will find favor when you return because of wisdom. Take note of how people acknowledge the presence of wise people. Everywhere you go, you are easily promoted and honored.

Because of his wisdom, Joseph was promoted among other men, and favor was bestowed upon him.

Walk in Wisdom, be as wise as a serpent and as peaceful as a dove, and you will even rule over your enemies' land.

Joseph, Daniel, and all those who acknowledged the Lord and walked in Wisdom rose to positions of power.

Wisdom can make you a great ruler, and buildings will be built with your words. You can build and lead a family with victory, you can build a church with peace and victory, and you can lead in any good place with success.

When you have or gain wisdom from above, it also assists you in being delivered from evil companionship, which can end your life in a sudden death and unsound mind.

That is why a bad relationship taints good manners. It is not necessary to associate with everyone. You must be cautious with your friends and never trust anyone.

With wisdom, you will recognize and recognize those who can help you shape your life for success and those who can ruin it.

Many people are influenced to join gangs or groups, and their manners are tainted.

When they return home, their parents see them differently; they see them as not being the people they were before, because evil friends have corrupted them. Do not be ignorant of evil friends; you must be cautious and keep your foot away from them if you want God's blessings.

There are some friends who can sabotage your earthly vision through evil.

Proverbs 1:10-19

[10]My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

[11]If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

[12]Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

[13]We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

[14]Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

[15]My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

[16]For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

[17]Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

[18]And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

[19]So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

If they call you to smoke with them, rube others with them so that you can become wealthy, join an occult group or any secret society, don't go and join them because the Bible says such people run to shed blood and their end is bitter.

Wisdom will bless you everywhere, and you will see the Lord's glory on your life.

Psalms 1:1-6

[1]Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

[2]But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

[3]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

[4]The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

[5]Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

[6]For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

4. Love to increase knowledge of God

Proverbs 1:5

[5]A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

For you to gain knowledge in order not to be ignorant of the devices of the enemy, you have to increase knowledge by reading, listening and watching or getting sermons. 

The only way to get increase of knowledge is learning, so you keep learning by reading, listening or watching sermons preach by men of God. 

The word of God comes in different perspectives just to make you stand clean and pure continuously and perfect in the good ways. 

To become blemish, you need to read or listen to the word of God and walk by it.  

2 Timothy 3:16-17

[16]All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

[17]That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

So, the wise listens to inspirational messages or sermons to keep the faith so that he will become blemish and will not lose faith in the Lord. You accept reproof, corrections, instructions and corrections so that in all you will become perfect, you will have a right standing before God. 

It's only the fool who hates reproof and corrections. The wise embraces any word that comes from the Lord and believes and accept it in good faith irrespective of its perspective. 

Prov 1:7 The fear of the Lord [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

It is only the fool who hates guidance, instructions or knowledge, if you correct them, bible says they will turn against you. That is why they are people who rejects the word of God are fools.

5. Wisdom makes you so conscious of the judgement of God. Every wise person thinks about what will happen tomorrow after taking any decision that he will not find himself wanting. 

Just as the ants do, they gather when there is no rain because they know it might rain tomorrow or any hour to come. They are always prepared to face any kind of whether and sake of that if it should rain, they are safe. 

Comparing this to a man’s soul, a man will think of the judgement of the Lord, knowing that everything he does, there is a judgement awaiting him. 

  Prov 17:24 Wisdom [is] before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool [are] in the ends of the earth.

It makes you love your soul and so that you will be saved from the wrath of the Lord coming some day of which no one knows, it also helps you to walk circumspectly. 

  Prov 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

As a good student, you make sure to always learn to get yourself prepared to meet or write any exams so that you will not fail, so a wise person works out his own salvation that he will not fall short of the glory of God and miss rapture someday to come. You will fail when you don’t prepare for exams and at end of the day you will be deferred or repeated. 

Every wise person loves his soul, he does not want to fall into the wrath of the Lord coming someday. If you are not cautious about the end time, you see that you do everything you want which may even go or be in contrary to the word of the Lord. 

  Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

  Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

  Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].

  Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

  Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Yes, you are always prepared and do not want to miss the mark. Just comparing the 5 wise virgins and the five foolish virgins who were to meet the bride, the 5 wise virgins kept their oil because they know if they should have used it all that moment, it would finish early and they would not be able to meet the bridegroom. Why were the other five who took no oil with them considered as foolish? “They were considered as fools because they never thought of bringing oil which would light up their lamp”. They began to find themselves wanting when they heard the bridegroom has come. Matthew 25:1-13

Now when they went away after the bridegroom had come to buy oil to fill the vessel, the time had past and so they were all sacked after they have come back. 

  Mt 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

  Mt 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

  Mt 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

  Mt 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

  Mt 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

  Mt 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

In all things, we will give an account, whatever we have done on earth whether it is good or bad, we will account for it one day. 

  2Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.

6. Shun the love of money: We all know money to be a good thing even as the bible says but loving it will take you through sorts of sins of which will make you lose your own soul and life. 

Money in its nature of likeness is very evil, it takes the heart of many away from the Lord and establishes the feet of many on the path of the unrighteous. 

  1Tim 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

I know how sweet it is and sounds when you gain a lot of money when you work and fill your house with all kinds of substances and also as a student how good it sounds when you have money on you to do what your heart desires but in all if you lust after it and work towards it in the way that does not please the Lord, it ends in sorrow. 

There are so many ways people earn their money which is not accepted in the sight of the Lord. There are students who stick lotto, bet, some also join the occult and many groups in order to get affluence and influence over others but in all, it ends in sorrow and sudden death. 

We have government officials or leaders who also uses evil ways and means to defraud the innocent to fill their houses that they may feel better in life but in it all it ends in sorrow. 

  Pss 15:5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.

So, you have to be very careful in life, do not do anything that will take your life away, do not follow after money else your life will be at stake. There are many people who are rich but because of the way they got their riches is evil, they have fallen into diverse problems of which they have the wish to get out of it but they are swallowed by the problems. 

  Prov 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

  Prov 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

  Prov 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

  Prov 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

  Prov 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

  Prov 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

  Prov 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

  Prov 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

  Prov 1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Don’t trust in riches but let your trust be in the Lord and taking the right path for money belongs to the Lord, He is the one that blesses and He adds no sorrow to riches. 

  Prov 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

All those who use evil ways of getting their riches cannot please the Lord with their riches, it doesn’t matter how much you give to your church or how well you pay your tithe and offering out of it. 

Jesus told the rich young man that for him the rich to follow Him Jesus, he should go and sell all his properties and follow Him, but the man found it difficult to do that, Jesus said “it will be difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God”.

  1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

  1Jn 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

  1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

 You have to love the Lord and do not let money take away the love you have for the Lord, there are so many things that are present into world that is taking many away from the Lord. Jesus said “a time will come that the love of many shall wax cold”, surely this is the time but it takes those who are wise and they have known through the word to keep their heart clean unto the Lord that they will not fall into the wrath of the Lord coming someday.

  Prov 11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

7. Honor your parent:   Prov 23:22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

Yes, it is very important to listen to your father whether biological or the spiritual who begat you for it is a blessing and it will bring unto them honor even when they are old.

For bible says listening to them in the Lord will give you a long life. Also as fathers or parents comes before children, they have know a lot of things children might have not yet seen or known, so listening to them and the godly directions they give, it will help you walk in life without stumbling or falling. 

All those who rejects the godly advices from fathers or parents do not end successfully. A child who listens to the parents brings honour to the parents.

Proverbs 6:20-23

[20]My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

[21]Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

[22]When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

[23]For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

When you obey the instructions of your parents, wherever you, it shall lead you and be a glory unto you. 

Whiles those who rejects instructions suffers, you will see yourself in a comfort zone where nothing evil will come your path. 

There are many good parents who advices their children before they come to college and it is the wise child who listens and binds them in the heart.

So, per the advice they give you, if you continually bind them in your heart, it will be very difficult for you to stumble in your life. 

Good parents’ advices children not to join bad friends, not to smoke nor do all kinds of unseemly things that it will end well with them. 

Proverbs 8:33

[33]Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

     In all I want to tell you is that, loved one, it is a blessing to get wisdom, for God Himself did everything with wisdom, without wisdom He would have been committing all kinds of mistakes. 

When you truely fear the Lord, you will refrain your foot from all kinds of evil and it will be counted unto you as a wise person. 

Proverbs 8:13

[13]The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

So, as the scriptures say, wisdom is the principal thing; when we say principal, we mean wisdom is the most important thing. That is why he said, in all your gettings get wisdom. Whatever Holy Spirit gifts you receive, make sure you also receive wisdom and understanding because it will keep you from being destroyed or losing your calling, ministry, or purpose to which the Lord has called you.

Even God could not reject wisdom, and everything He did was done with wisdom.

"Knowledge without wisdom is very dangerous and a wisdom that is not from above is null".

Proverbs 8:22-36

[22]The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

[23]I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

[24]When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

[25]Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

[26]While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

[27]When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

[28]When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

[29]When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

[30]Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

[31]Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

[32]Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

[33]Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

[34]Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

[35]For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

[36]But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death
