ONE MUST PLAY THE FOOL!

One Must Play The Fool

This is a true story told by one of my mentors.

A story of a lady who got married to a man of her dream, they both enjoyed their honey moon. She wished it never ended, every night she prayed for the “good old days” to return, the reenactment of those romantic moments. “What happened to the candle nights, the holding hands, the sweet words, the smiles, the laughter, the attention…!? Why all these bitterness, arguments, cursing and fighting? Why this hatred from my husband?” She wept.

One day she decided to cry home to her father. “Father!” she fell down on her knees crying “You always help people to solve their problems, I grew up seeing you amending broken marriages, my marriage is in trouble! I am not enjoying my marriage but just enduring it. I can’t endure anymore please, help me!” The old man looked at her and said, “Stand up my daughter, wipe your tears, tomorrow I will give you something to use on your husband.”

The next day, the lady who trusted her father, received powdered substance from him. “My dear daughter, here is the charm that you need to hypnotize your husband. With this you will begin to enjoy your marriage. Anytime your husband is angry then just put little of this in your mouth but be careful never to swallow it because is poisonous. All the ladies that I did it for, it worked perfectly” he instructed. She believed and left to achieve her desire.

Back home, as usual the furious husband entered with shouting in anticipation to provoke her into another fight but this time he was defeated, his wife did not open her mouth. She was just gazing at him. The man cursed and cursed but no respond from his wife because she did not want to swallow the poisonous powder in her mouth, only noticeable tears were coming from her eyes. After two months of repeated actions and reactions, her husband broke down one day at her feet weeping like a baby. He said “Honey! You have changed! You no longer curse back when I curse you and you no longer disrespect me. Now I know that I am the one at fault. I am sorry for all the push and for all that I put you through all these years. Please, forgive me!”

The next day, the lady went back with joy to her father to testify of how effective the charm worked. On hearing this, her father broke into laughter. He said “Dear! That “charm” is an ordinary corn flour, not poisonous as I prescribed it. The formula that I gave to you there is do not talk when your husband is angry, play the part of the fool, just shut your mouth and peace will reign in your marriage. Men do not talk too long and they stop talking when you do not talk back to them. Men feel bitter when you talk back to them and they carry your voice with them for long. It takes two to quarrel and if one decides to play the role of a fool then there will be no quarrel and no fighting. Thank you my daughter for your obedience “.

IT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU ANYMORE

As a young girl, growing up, Paula was excited seeing her mother’s dreams come through. Her dreams were to own a house with a beautiful garden by its side and train her daughter through all educational levels as she desires.

Though Paula’s mother was not rich but she stood by her dreams. With mortgage from the credit union, she was able to complete her beautiful house. Being a lover of fruits, she planted several trees to fulfill her dream. Paula too was looking forward to the day these trees would bear fruits.

Life they say is full of many tragedies, the unpredictable tragedies, such that took Paula’s dear mom from her. On that day, she left home in the morning happily with her daughter, dropped her off at her school and promised to pick her up for lunch. Just ten minutes drive from Paula’s school there were sporadic gunshots. Two gang members were exchanging gunfire and Paula’s mother became the victim as she was caught in-between. She received a severe gunshot to her chest and died on the spot.

She lost her mom and her mom’s dreams. The credit union took over the house and auctioned it to another person. For many years, she was still wondering. “Why?”

After seven years, she decided to visit her former home to revive her memory. The trees have grown up with attractive fruits. As she stood at the gate with tears flowing down her eyes, a young lady came out of the house, approached her and asked who she was looking for. Paula replied “. This was our compound. My mother built that house and planted those trees before she died”. The young lady was touched by this revelation, she said “ I am sorry to hear this but is there anything I could do for you?”. Paula replied “. Yes! If you could please, allow me to taste of the fruits from the plants”. At this point, the countenance of the young lady changed to that of disappointment. “Sorry ma. I cannot allow you into this compound and no one is allowed to collect any fruit from those trees. The owner of this compound, Ms. Liz is very strict and mean. She loves those fruits more than human beings. I hope you understand? I am just a maid who is protecting her job.” The young lady declared.

In tears, Paula left without tasting of the fruits, which she and her mother planted. The truth is that who owns the compound owns the trees and the fruits. The garden does not belong to the former owner anymore.

We are just like the compound and our lives are like the garden. When we surrender to Jesus Christ, he becomes the owner of everything that we have. Anyone who does not surrender to Jesus Christ, his owner is Satan and everything he has belongs to the devil. When you surrender to JESUS CHRIST, He washes you clean with His Blood. He does not look at your pasts.

2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Dear Beloved, you can pray this short but powerful prayer: Dear Jesus Christ, from this moment, I surrender my life totally to you, please, forgive me all my sin and set me free from all my weakness. I accept you as my LORD and personal Saviour in your name I prayed. Amen !

THE GREAT DAY

2013-05-06T11:17:00.000-07:00

THE GREAT DAY

Luke 21:34 "Constantly be on your guard so that your hearts will not be loaded down with self-indulgence, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, or that day will take you by surprise

Dear beloved,

There is a day which almost everyone is aware of. A day which almost everyone is afraid of. There is a day which some are eagerly looking forward to, a day which some never wish to see or experience and others have different opinion of that day. A great day which no one knows when but the signs of its closeness are known. We can see and feel the signs of that great day.

Everyone is highly under attack right now because of that great day. Our Lord, JESUS CHRIST warned us to be on our guard, for that day will come by surprise. He warned us that when the day is approaching, Satan will attack us with the spirits of, “SELF-INDULGENCE, DRUNKENNESS and WORRIES OF LIFE”. Today, Satan is effectively using these three spirits to prevent people from focusing on the things of God.

SELF-INDULGENCE = Today almost everyone is after what will benefit them physically, focusing on self (selfishness)

DRUNKENNESS = Party, worldly excitement plus weakness (socializing instead of fellowship with the HOLY SPIRIT)

WORRIES OF LIFE = The global economy is not getting better moreover everyone wants the best. The ability to wait on God is getting weak. Frustration and desperation are increasing every moment. Expectations are not met on time, people are becoming hopeless and doubtful.

Satan is smart and sensitive, look at how he is manipulating people out of their destinies. And the question is how many are ready for that day, the second coming of JESUS CHRIST?

Let us take our stand for that day. Do not compromise because of situations, hold on to your faith. God the provider is with you. He will not allow you to be put to shame as long as you put your trust on Him.

Please, join us this Sunday at CHRIST LOVE FAMILY, with your friends and relatives to join other Christians at 55 Sunset Park, Western Paradise. 10.00AM in a joyful fellowship with the HOLY SPIRIT. We love you! See you there!

YOUR POSITION AS A CHURCH

2013-05-03T14:10:00.001-07:00

God created you to help those who have lost the vision of helping others. God did not create you to receive help. Some persons walk into churches because they need physical help, they just want the church to provide everything for them instead of looking up to God through Jesus Christ. The church is to help you to come out of yourself to help others. "Seek first the kingdom of God and every other things shall be added to you". Until you take your divine position of helping in your church, you will continue to move from church to church searching for help and eventually end up at home not attending any church. You will continue to blame people, yourself and God for your problems. What you are created to give is already in you

I KNOW MY PLACE

2013-04-29T13:16:00.004-07:00

I KNOW MY PLACE

Dear Brethren,
God wants us to understand this season and this generation which
we are. We are in a generation of “SELFISHNESS”. A generation where Satan turns people every day to focus on themselves. When the people focus on themselves they lose the vision of God. While the antichrist agents (UNIBAM), the gay community “human right organisations” are becoming more desperate,
forceful and more united, the body of Christ are becoming more divided,
self-centred, backbiting and pulling each other down. The
bible says, that “Lawlessness will increase and the love of many shall wax cold” .

Last Saturday was our movie night, we showed this movie
“ESCAPE FROM HELL” in it there is a blind lady who got
knocked down by a vehicle and she died. She appeared in Heaven not as blind but she could see the glory of God and the angel called her “the daughter of the
most high God”. In the movie also is a man who was a good husband, a wonderful father, he was good to people but he did not have Jesus Christ in him. He died and went to hell fire.

Being a Christian is to know your place in Christ. If you are not a foundation layer then you must be a builder. A Christian is a person who allows Jesus Christ to dwell in him and to do things through him.

Denominations are not recognized in heaven. Titles are not
recognized in heaven. Financial and material wealth are not recognized in
heaven. The material things that we struggle after , we cannot take any of them
along when we die.

You might be going through some trials right now, just know your
place in Christ and say “I know my place in Christ”.
Do not allow situation of life dictate your Christian faith. Life
on earth is brief but we have eternal life through Christ Jesus.

Please, let me share with you the following scriptures below.

Ecclesiastes 5:15 As he came forth
of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take
nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither…

Psalm 49:17 For when he dies
he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be required of
thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast
provided?

1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out.

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2Ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Luke 10:20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are
subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the
many shall wax cold.

Mat 24:13 But he that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.

GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED

2013-04-15T08:17:00.000-07:00

“GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED”

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Today, God said I should tell you that He knows all your need, He knows your struggles, He knows your weakness and strength, He sees your going out and coming in and He hears when you pray.

He wants you to know that He won’t forsake you because He had made a covenant through JESUS CHRIST that He won’t forsake you. He wants you to be patient and wait for the manifestation of your blessings. And in conclusion He said “do not compromise but believe that I will supply all your need according to my Glory by Christ Jesus”.

As you go through all your daily activities today, continue to meditate and confess to yourself “ My God shall supply all my need according to His riches in Glory by CHRIST JESUS”.

LET THE STRENGTH OF GOD BE YOUR STRENGTH

2013-04-13T08:23:00.000-07:00

LET THE STRENGTH OF GOD BE YOUR STRENGTH.

Psalm 71:16-17 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of His righteousness, even of Him only.
O God, You have taught me from my youth and since then have I continue to declare Your wondrous works.

Several times we tried to lift up loads that are meant for God to lift up. And the reason why we failed to lift up certain loads is that we compare the magnitude of the load to our strength. We are not to manifest our strength but God's STRENGTH. Every load before us is meant to be lifted by God's HANDS through us. All we need do is to allow the Mighty HANDS of the AMIGHTY GOD operate through us.
For the strength of God to manifest through you, you must first of all recognize the STRENGTH of God. Secondly, see and feel the STRENGTH in you. Thirdly, praise God for His STRENGTH. And fourthly , be proud and be boastful of the STRENGTH of GOD in you. Let us consider what Apostle Paul said in this scripture:

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me

THE PRICE FOR MY JOY

2013-03-31T20:37:00.000-07:00

The Price For My Joy

2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, He is a new creature: Old things have passed away and behold, all things have become new.

My name is Betty Santos, I am 37 years old. I thank the Almighty God for keeping me alive to tell you my true life story.

I was born in Georgeville Village in Belize, Central America. I am the fourth of fourteen children from both parents. My mom was five months pregnant with me when my father migrated to the United States. My mom, becoming a single parent with four children and wanting a better life for us, decided to leave me along with my other siblings in the care of our paternal grandparents.

Life with my grandparents is a memorable experience, I often reminisce on those glorious days. My grandfather despite having one hand, toiled hard on his farms to provide for us, never one day did we go hungry. My grandmother on the other hand would remain at home taking care of her multiple grandchildren, something she enjoyed and loved doing. I was my grandmother’s prize and joy; I can recall intense arguments among my grandmother and my aunts over me. My aunts would say: “Remember Ma, Betty is not your only grandchild”. I was a saint in the eyes of my grandmother “My Mama” as we used to call her.

My Mama instilled moral value in me. I grew up in the Anglican faith. I cannot recall her going to church, but attending church was her number one priority for her grandchildren. Living in a small community where there was no recreation especially for children; therefore, we looked forward for Sundays to get out of the house. In our home there were set rules and guidelines especially when it came to serving God. Every morning we had to repeat Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd” in My Mama’s presence. I can recall at the tender age of five years repeating the entire Psalm and getting a sweet as my reward.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.

My grandmother loved me unconditionally; but even with all her love, on the inside I was burning up with a sense of emptiness. It’s like a puzzle game, as you get to the last piece and you realize you can’t find it; that was how I felt. I was living my life with a piece missing and it was eating me alive every single day, but nobody knew. That missing piece was my mother’s presence, love and affection. Finally, when I was about six years old, my dream came true and I got the opportunity to spend the summer vacation with my mom in Belize. However, my dream was short-lived. My mom had already had four additional children and was a single parent again, and was therefore unable to give me the love and attention I was so desperately seeking from her. I was disappointed and felt lost, abandoned and confused. I was happy to go back to my grandmother when summer ended.

Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her nursing child even these may forget, but I will not forget you.

As my grandparents grew older and feebler they couldn’t care for me anymore, and at 10 years old, I was sent to live with my mother. Instantly, my world came crashing down and I began to miss my grandparents. My mother struggled to make ends meet and provide for us. We later moved to Ladyville village in a shack that my sixteen year old brother built. We lived in poverty and constant discomfort. I recall our daily meals were the waste food from the British Forces dumpsite we use to call “jungle”. The one bed room house was too small for seven children; my bed was the floor, yes the floor. It was hard and uneven I would wake up with aches and pains. Whenever it rained we would get wet because the roof was not properly built. I struggled to fit in and felt as if I didn’t belong. I felt that my mom did not show me the love and affection she did the others, and I resented her for it. Every day was getting harder for me to live with her, but I had a little ray of hope that maybe one day the Lord would remember me, and bless me with the strength to make it.

Psalm 106:4 Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people; come near and rescue me.

My mom didn’t go to church and did not pressure us to go, so I attended when I wanted to. I became active in Victory Assembly of God church in Ladyville; I found solace in the church as it became a means for me to escape the pain and be in the company of people who loved and cared for me. I was a good girl who did all the right things and followed God to the best of my ability. I believed in God but I did not really know Him, His nature, His love or His power.

1 John 3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

I attended Ladyville Roman Catholic School; I sat the PSE exam and thankfully I passed. I was feeling very happy and proud of my accomplishment and was anxious to give my mom the good news but my heart was shattered into pieces when my mom told me that she could not afford to send me to high school. I knew that this meant that I would have to find a job. I shouted out to God for help, I was so confused. I was determined to attend high school and nothing would stop me. I spent time in deep prayer, and then set out feeling armed by God in searched for a high school to attend. I can remember passing Pallotti high school but I didn’t stop there. In my mind the school was too big and I figure the fees would be high. I walked further down and found Nazarene High School; I smiled, this was the school! It was smaller and I knew the fees would be smaller too. With the assistance of a friend’s mother, who was there at the time, I was instantly accepted. The principal’s only concern was if I would be able to meet the fees. I can recall saying to him “GOD will provide”. And God did provide for me.

Proverbs 3:5-6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

While I was in fourth form, my mom left home and I had to take on the role of mother to my siblings, even as I worked hard to do well in school. It was a time of great struggle and suffering for me, I had numerous nightmares. I continued to be successful in school despite of my hardship. I always envied the popular kids in my class, and felt disconnected and different from them, I just couldn’t fit in. Many days my lunch was my book, I would sit on the step at the back of the school reading or studying because I didn’t have money to buy lunch. I graduated the salutatorian of my class: “what an honor!” But I could not take pleasure in the magnitude of my accomplishment because I had little hope in my heart about my future. My dreams went beyond high school and I felt that my chances of further education were nil. Immediately after graduation I got a job. Thanks to God, my life was taking a turn and starting to look good.

Psalm 53:2
God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

In 1990, I met the man who would become my husband and thought that now I’ve found love. Everything was working according to my plan, and I felt I no longer needed God’s help. I quickly forgot that it was He who had brought me to this point. I gave up church, and put my energies into arranging my future with my partner and new home. But my happiness was just temporary; it wasn’t long before I started to feel unloved by my husband. It seemed that life was all about his wants and needs, and I unsuccessfully tried all I could to support him. We grew apart within two years. We were existing but not living. Through all the lying and cheating, I still loved him; my heart belonged to only him and I tried to withstand all the emotional and mental pain I was experiencing. Eventually I couldn’t endure the silent suffering anymore and I started to detest him, while at the same time questioning my own self. I became afraid to love, and isolated myself, even from friends. I just kept to myself and didn’t open my heart to anyone. I lived a life filled with loneliness and tears.

Psalm 6:6-7 I am worn out with grief every night, my bed is damp, my pillow soaked with tears, I can hardly see. My eyes are swollen from weeping…

In 1993 I decided that it was time to have a baby. I wanted someone to call my own and love. The relationship was still rocky, but I was prepared to be a single parent if necessary. I was tired of being alone. After two years of trying, God blessed me with a beautiful baby girl, Shaniqua. She is my world, we are inseparable. This bundle of joy brought unity, calm and peace in our home for only a short period. It wasn’t long before my husband started on his destructive path again with his friends. Around this time I started to hear the call of Jesus again, but I was too taken up to devote time to him. I had so much to accomplish and my problems just tumbled about me. I didn’t even have time to pray.

Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer; be watchful and thankful.

Shortly afterwards, my mom was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Due to complications from the disease, her two feet were later amputated and she started to lose her vision. She needed my assistance but I had an unforgiving heart towards her, I could not forget my sufferings caused by her neglect, I really battled with the bitterness I had held in my heart for so long. Never-the-less I had to care for her. I opened my heart and home to her realizing that God had a plan for bringing us together. I slowly started to see good things in my mom and grew to admire the strength she displayed, despite her illness. My mom and I reconciled with each other and she became my role model and my best friend. Finally, I was her little girl and our love for each grew.

John 13:15 Jesus said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you”.

While attending the University of Belize my mother became gravely ill and was hospitalized for immediate surgery. My emotions were raging. I refused to think that she would be anything but ok, especially since we were just starting to bond and love each other. The surgery revealed that she had colon cancer. I stayed at my mom’s side while she was in the hospital; she only wanted to see me, her little daughter. Five days after her surgery, I left her bedside to get some rest. During my absence my mom passed. Her death took a toll on my life. I mourned her deeply and became angry with God. How could he take my mom away from me?

Psalm 88:12 Is your love proclaimed in the grave, your fidelity in the tomb?

Even though I believe that she knew I loved her, I never got the opportunity to say, “I love you” or to call her “mom” and now she is gone. I sunk into depression, which affected even my precious little girl. I got gravely ill and had to be flown to Merida. Tests revealed that I had had two aneurysms and immediate brain surgery was necessary or I would eventually elapse into a coma and die.

It was then that I turned to God; I prayed liked I had never prayed before. I found myself in a corner with no way out! Now I find the time to pray. Accompanying me was some family members who were Christians. Having them around me made a lot of difference, we all prayed, laughed and cried together. I also had my quiet time with God. He had been talking to me all along but I wasn’t listening. I was too busy to hear His call and surrender to His plans.

I was wheeled into surgery one day before the one-year anniversary of my mother’s death. I could see the distraught look on the faces of my relatives, but I was at peace, I was so relaxed going into surgery. The entire time I was praying, I asked God to come into my life and forgive me of all my sins, cleanse my soul and make me pure.

Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

I said God; if I should die today I want to die with you in my heart. God please take care of my only child and let your will be done.” Immediately I felt as if my spirit left my body and place itself at the foot of an image of Jesus, which was hanging on the wall. I can recall looking up on the image and begging God for his mercy and forgiveness. I literally saw the image of Jesus smiling reassuringly back at me. I knew at that moment that I would be ok. In my heart I heard Him telling me “I have you covered with my blood.”

According to the doctors my chance of survival or a complete recovery was nil. I know that God breathe his own breath back into me because he has a purpose for my life. My healing remains a living testament of the miraculous works of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:11 “ If the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his spirit that dwells in you”.

This amazing experience helped me to realize that I needed to build a relationship with God and change many things in my life; most importantly to seek forgiveness and discover true love for God, myself and others. I was burden down with sorrows and pain, wanting to face the world on my own. Now I am able to recognize when the Enemy threatens and draw on God’s grace to keep me safe.

I then got an invitation to attend the St. Martin’s Christ Renewed his parish retreat. I was hesitant at first to attend the retreat; then I realized that God was speaking to my stubborn heart and I had to obey.

Psalm 95:7 If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.

Attending the retreat has a lasting effect on my life. I am now able to replaced bitterness, wrath and anger with kindness, tenderness and forgiveness. My faith in God and my commitment to serving him has increase tremendously. This has strengthened me to live a life of victory over temptations. I am now aware of the presence of Christ and the filling of the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 40:2 “ the Lord lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire, He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”

I am learning God’s word, which is a compass to guide me through life. This time I will allow Him to lead and will not try to do it on my own. God continues to reveal wonders in my life. He has given me new spiritual eyes as I was blessed with the gift of giving. Jesus is real for me, life is not about me anymore it’s about serving God and serving others. Jesus instructed me to lay down my life for the sheep if I want to be a good shepherd and I have to obey. The relationship I have with Jesus led me to sharing with those with whom I come in contact with. I live a happier and more harmonious life, free from constant tension and strain and free from fear and anxiety because I know that God is in control. I am aware of my true inner being and expanding, my consciousness of God and Life. This enables me to handle emotions with honesty and maturity.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you declare the lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give hope and a future.”

My life is transformed; I am a new person in Christ who strengthens me. When I look at people who have done me wrong, I now find my bitterness and resentment heart being transformed into loving compassion. In the darkness of my earlier life, where everything was unknown, I had faced the power of sin on my own but now I have Jesus Christ. My relationship with God helped me to speak the truth, I don’t allow my emotions to lead to sin and I try to give more of myself. He has healed my body and now I cannot help but testify that Jesus is Lord and forever and ever He reigns.

THE GREAT TESTIMONY

2013-03-12T21:28:00.000-07:00

THE GREAT TESTIMONY

My name is James. I and my wife Sandra got married 14yrs ago and since then we had no child. As Christians, we still believed God for a baby at the due time. Finally, my wife got pregnant and everything was alright. On the day of delivery, I was driving her to the hospital and suddenly our car collided with an on-coming lorry and we had a fatal accident. My sister narrated it thus:

''We had a call from the police through the identification found on you that you and Sandra were in the hospital. When we came to the hospital, the Doctor asked us to sign some documents so that an operation could be performed on Sandra to bring the baby out. The baby came out alive but Sandra was declared dead while I was in comma with my two legs broken. In the night, a man clothed in white appeared to me and touched my head. From that moment, I started sneezing. After 5mins, I sat up and became a little strong. Then I asked, 'where is my wife'? Then, ...somebody the next door started sneezing too. That was Sandra. 'She's alive, she's alive', the nurses shouted. Sandra also narrated that the same man clothed in white who touched my head also touched her head. Few days later we were discharged from the hospital. My broken legs have also been restored and I can walk perfectly too.

Today, I, Sandra and our daughter named Miracle are all alive. What was supposed to be our happiest day turned out to be a sorrowful day but we thank God for today. Ladies and gentlemen, God exists and still performs miracles, even the miracle of bringing the dead to live.

Now I decree that:
1. Nothing will cut your joy short on the happiest day of your life in Jesus name.
2. I command every dead thing in your life to come back alive in Jesus name.
3. This year, may you receive a miracle that will attract the attention of the world in Jesus mighty name. Type AMEN in the comment box to claim these prayers.

I DO NOT WANT TO DIE

I know death is the debt everyone must pay one day but I was not expecting it to knock at my door soon. Though he is always the unexpected visitor but when you know the number of days left for you to spend with the people who you love is another scenario. I also know that every man dies with his plan but I still have so much to accomplish.
Different thoughts went through me as I was returning from the hospital. The doctor just told me that the prostate cancer is spreading fast in my body and that there is little they can really do for me right now. What is more frustrating than when you see the physicians, the professionals and the experts given up on you? It was a pronouncement of death. As I tried to stand up I fell back on the chair. I spent twenty minutes there asking God “Why me? Why?”
I knew it will be hard for me to break the sad news to my family. “My little kids, how would they take it?” How would they feel when they know that their dear daddy will be leaving them soon and they will never see him again? What about my house mortgage who would pay it? That means they are going to throw out my family? What about my business plan with my wife? And how would she carry the family’s load alone? Will she get married to another man? How would the man handle my kids? “Different thoughts and questions were running through me. I was so confused. As I was walking home and talking to myself, the voice in me was soliloquizing “I don’t want to die” Then suddenly I heard a voice from behind saying “Do not say that!” I turned to see where it was coming from, behold it was an old man walking behind me. I then out of curiosity asked him if he was talking to me. He answered “Yes!” “Change what you are saying to yourself, I do not want to die, to I will not die!” Then I said “Thank you.” It was after a little walk that I began to wonder of how the strange old man knew exactly what I was thinking in my mind. So I turned to ask him but there was no one on the quiet straight street. I thought I was going mad but I saw him and he spoke to me.
Without hesitation and doubting I concluded that God has answered my prayers and that old man is an Angel of God sent to me. Then I heard myself saying “I believe it! I will not die! The news I am taking to my family right now is I will not die”
When I got home, my kids ran to me and they were all asking “How come daddy is so happy today?” I replied “it is because I will not die!” My little daughter of eight years then said “Yes! Daddy! You will not die, you will live with us.”
It was a real battle because at interval the devil walks in to say “You have few days to live, remember what the doctor said about the cancer in your body?” I knew that the devil was trying to slow me down so that he could kill me slowly but I refused to listen to him, instead I keep on reciting what the old man told me, “I will not die! I will not die!” Even in my dream I heard myself saying “I will not die! I will not die”.
I do not know who is reading this right now but if God can do it for me, He will do it for you. My miracle made a team of experience medical doctors to believe on miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ. Two months after I was clinically condemned, I went back again for a check-up. The doctor could not believe what he saw, he then invited other doctors in to check me over and over. The cancer has disappeared. No trace of it, thank you God! Thank you Jesus! It is now four years and I am cancer free! I am cancer free!
REVERSE THE CURSE
God is constantly reminding us that there is power in our tongue. Once we change our thinking then our words will change. Once our words change then our body system will change. “As a man thinks so he is” Jesus Christ said “Behold I have given you the power and the authority to trample on serpents and on scorpions, power over all principalities and over all powers of darkness and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19).
There must be an agreement between your spirit and your body in touching a thing to get it establish. Your destiny is in the hands of God. Your time has not come. Confess to your life what you desire.

WHY MUST I GO THROUGH THIS?

2011-05-02T14:36:00.000-07:00

This message was preached on Sunday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

WHY MUST I GO THROUGH THIS ?

This is a question asked by someone who is going through pains, struggles, sickness, debt, disappointment, family crises, abandonment, financial crisis, marital problems, job problems, e.t.c Act 14:22 Strengthening the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

God did speak through the early Apostles to warn and to encourage us that we MUST go through trials and tribulations to enter into His Kingdom. Please, note God did not say we are to go through one tribulation but He said "MUCH (MANY)".

There were times in my life when I did cry "Why Must I Go Through This ?".

Being a Christian does not mean you will not go through many trials and tribulations. Remember what King David wrote in Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

No matter what you are going through right now God shall deliver you from them all. Just be patient and hold on.

The very moment of my crying "Why Must I Go Through This ?" there was an absolute silence. But after many years, the answer came. Different persons who are going through what I went through began to approach me for help. I see myself counseling people with my experience. It is only someone who has been through sufferings that can speak or write on sufferings.

Whatsoever you are going through is to enable you manifest your best. Trials and tribulations will open door for your best to manifest.Know that everyone must attend the "UNIVERSITY OF TEARS"and graduate from it to help others. What you are going through is for many souls to benefit from you. Do not give up on your dreams in the midst of storms. Your best is about to manifest. It is your turn to shine and to rejoice. Just surrender all to Jesus Christ. He is at your front right now saying "Cast your burden on Me for I care for you". PlS, enjoy this video clip "I wouldn't known" by James Fortune and Fayi

Stay blessed and see you next week by the grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

TALK SHOW 4

2011-04-03T15:25:00.001-07:00

Ø www.christlovefamily.web.officelive.com

ØTALK SHOW 3

Ø This is a continuation of our talk show . Pastor Paul and the Christ Love Family invite you to participate in this "TALKING FROM THE HEART TO THE HEART".

5. Do I need to tell my husband everything I do? If I don’t am I lying?

Ø Do you want your husband to tell you everything he does? Then tell him everything if you want him to tell you everything. Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Ø If you do not want to tell him when he asks just simply manipulate him from the subject or tell him I am not comfortable telling you but he might get angry or even retaliates.

Husband and wife should open up to each other and discuss freely. Mostly on family issues the two should contribute equally and get them solved amicably. No one is more important than the other.
6. If my husband commits adultery can I leave him? And can I get married again?

7. What does the bible say about a married woman who leaves her husband who abuses her? Does she commit adultery if she marries again?

Ø Deu 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

Ø Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Ø 1Cort. 7:10-17

In the issue of marriage we have to be careful. It involves two persons. Though the Bible says few things about marriage both in the old and in the new testament but the conclusive intention of God who established it is for peace to reign in the family, in the society and in each person's life. Marriage has many colours, it changes with time and with occurrence. The way it works for others it might not work like that for you. You need the Holy Spirit of God to guide you. Take it to the Holy Spirit of GOD to direct you to either leave an abusive relationship or stay. Let Him direct you to either to remarry or stay single. Jesus Christ said that the Holy Spirit of God will teach us, guide us, reveal things to us and comfort us. Most of the things which the Holy Spirit of God is coming to do in your life you might not find them in the bible. It is a relationship between you and the Holy Spirit. It is a communication between you and the Holy Spirit. Fast and pray. The Holy Spirit will help you out of a wrong relationship.

Satan can bring two persons into a wrong marriage. There are many marriages today that are suffering because they were ordained by Satan. Anytime Satan wants to cause a problem in one's life he would bring the wrong person into that person's life. We heard true stories of demonic persons coming into ministers' lives just to destroy their ministries.

This I speak not from the scripture if you are not at peace in your marriage as God intended then work out. Work out if you have tried all you could and it does not work. Work out if it is abusive and deadly. Work out if it is disconnecting you from God. Let it end peacefully if your spouse does not want it to continue. Never you tie your destiny down because of someone. The scripture says "Let he who lacks wisdom ask"

Stay blessed and keep a date!

CHRIST LOVE FAMILY: SHAKE IT INTO THE FIRE

2010-11-21T19:17:00.000-08:00

CHRIST LOVE FAMILY: SHAKE IT INTO THE FIRE

SHAKE IT INTO THE FIRE

2010-11-21T19:15:00.001-08:00

This message was preached on Sunday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

SHAKE IT INTO THE FIRE!

Act 28:1-6 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffered not to live. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Though this message is short but the content is rich. You are selected, chosen and ordained to receive this message which says "SHAKE IT INTO THE FIRE!".

Apostle Paul was a Prisoner on transit, the storm tried to take his life on the troubled water but God got him to the land. May be you are right now on a troubled water, you are been pushed here and there by the storm. But the good news is that, The God who created you will get you out of the troubled sea to a dry land.

Though on the dry land the devil will still try to get you down but you have the authority to shake anything which troubles you into the fire. It could be true that some persons "The Barbarians" are watching and waiting to see your down fall. You have to keep them waiting because if they do not see your down fall they would come to congratulate you. Your persistence will bring respect to the Spirit in you. Your refusal to give up on your dream will force those against you to change their minds.

Shake it into the fire! This is no time to complain or to cry but this is the time to shake it into the fire. The Holy ghost fire which is keeping you warm can also consume what troubles you.

Shake! Shake! Shake every pain, every fear, every retrogression, every frustration, every failure, every barrenness, and all which stands against your destiny into the fire.

Have a joyful new week as you listen to this song done by: DOROTHY NORWOOD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0wA-vxY1SE

THE NATURE OF FAITH

2010-10-14T21:33:00.001-07:00

The Nature of Faith

Faith is not just important, it’s essential. Because without it, you and I cannot please God.

The natural question is, “What is faith?”

In Hebrews 11:1, the writer gives us the technical definition of biblical faith,

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith deals with unseen reality. In fact, Weymouth’s translation says, “Faith is a conviction of the reality of things we do not see.”

You might think, “That’s a nice definition, but what does that really mean?” That is a good question. And it is answered by the examples given in Hebrews 11, which show different ways people expressed their faith in God, because there is not just one way to demonstrate faith in God:

Abel shows us that faith is giving our best to God. He deserves our first and our best.
Enoch shows us that faith is walking with God. It is living a life in constant connection with God, even when you can’t sense or feel Him.
Noah shows us that faith is making preparations as though Christ is coming back today, even when there is seemingly no evidence.
Abraham shows us that faith is obeying God, even though you may not know where He is leading you.
Sarah shows us that faith is receiving God’s promise, even when public opinion says, “No way!”
Moses shows us that faith is living life in light of eternity, and allowing that focus to affect all of life’s decisions.

Commit today to live this life of faith. If you do, you will truly please God!

GOD KNOWS

2010-10-03T20:49:00.001-07:00

This message was preached on Sunday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

GOD KNOWS

Rev 2:9 I know your works, tribulation and poverty (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which you shall suffer behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days. You should remain faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.

Rev 2:13 I know your works, and where you dwell, even where Satan's seat is: ...

God knows everything about you. He knows your name. He knows your going out and your coming in. He knows your strength. He knows your weakness. He knows your pains. He knows your struggles. He knows your enemies. He knows your history (your pasts). He knows your future. He knows your fears. He knows how to revive you. He knows how to restore you. He knows how to restore your glory. He knows how to re-design you to shine again. He knows how to heal you. He knows how to deliver you. He knows how to cleanse you. He knows how to pull you through all situations. He knows how to make you laugh. He knows how to get you into dancing. He knows your dream. And He knows your destiny.

The God who knows everything about you, He is The Creator, The Merciful God, The Provider, and The solution to all problems.

You might be in a situation of "Does He care?" Yes! God cares for you. Though there might be silence in the midst of high expectations but God is doing something. Something that is powerful enough to make us rejoice.

Dear beloved, I see you rejoicing in the midst of storms. I see you coming out of what you are going through. Heaven says "It is your turn to shine".

PRAYER:

Almighty God, I thank You for making Yourself known to me as the one who knows everything about me. Nothing can be hidden from You, I am naked before You. I surrender everything before You. Please, turn my situations around into Your praise and worship in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thanks,

ARE YOU CONNECTED?

2010-09-19T17:47:00.000-07:00

This message was preached on Sunday by Pastor Paul and he wants to share it with you whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

ARE YOU CONNECTED TO HIM?

John 15: 7 "If you abide in me and my words abide in you then you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you."

The worst thing any body could do to himself is to disconnect himself from JESUS CHRIST. The scripture above shows that JESUS CHRIST WANTS to take over your problems. He wants to operate through you. He is saying even right now to you "Let Me help you. Once you are connected to Me then you will see Me doing through you what you want to do."

The questions which we need to answer right now are "ARE YOU CONNECTED TO HIM?" Are situations pushing you away from Him? Are you not tired of doing things by yourself?

You know your story. You know what you have been through and you know exactly what you are going through right now. You cannot go through it alone. Please, let JESUS CHRIST carry you through. He is standing by to help you through it. Just surrender all to Him. Sign a new convenant with Him.

Remember, JESUS CHRIST is not a past tense and He is not in the past. He is alive. He is there with you and He is here with me. His words are alive. Talk to Him. He is waiting for you. No matter what you are going through you shall come out of it rejoicing.

WHAT WILL YOU SAY TO YOURSELF TODAY?

2010-09-05T17:37:00.001-07:00

This message was preached by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves

WHAT WILL YOU SAY TO YOURSELF TODAY?

Psalm 139:13-14 For You have possessed my reins, You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvellous are Your works and this my soul knows right well.

King David did not make this statement during celebration but he made it in the midst of trials and tribulations. He was able to identify his purpose of existence. He was able to identify the marvelous plan of God. He knew that God was there with him. And he knew the secret of positive confession.

Dear beloved, you might be in the midst of storms right now. May be things are not working in your direction right now. May be you have started confessing defeat, failure, disappointment, sickness, retrogression, separation and death. Please, do not write yourself off. Do not give up on your dreams. Confess positive things to yourself. The fact that you are not there yet does not mean you won't be there. Speak the truth to your destiny, speak the truth to your dream, speak the truth to your life and to every step you shall take this week.

The truth about you is that you are not a product of what you are going through. The truth about you is that you shall surely win if you do not give up. And the truth is that you can if you continue to say to yourself "I can !" Delete fear and complain from your life.

What will you say to yourself in your wilderness? what are you saying to yourself in the midst of storms? "I am fearfully, wonderfully and marvelously made"?

You are the best and the most beautiful human being on earth. There are so many good things about you that you have not identified, call yourself beautifull names and the names will manifest. You are close to the actualization of your dream so do not give up. No matter where you are right now God still loves you. He doesn't foresake His own.

REVIVE YOUR HOPE PART 2

2010-08-01T16:17:00.000-07:00

This message was preached on Sunday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

REVIVE YOUR HOPE: PART 2

Jeremiah 31:16 -17 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in your future, saith the LORD

One does not hope for what he already has. We hope for what we are expecting. HOPE is not needed in the midst of celebration. HOPE is required when things are going rough, HOPE is required when delay is experienced in actualizing one's dream and HOPE IS REQUIRED when a prayer of request is made.

Every new month requires new HOPE. You have to put your pasts behind you. All the ugly things which you experienced in the month of July, they are gone with the month of July. This is the beginning of a new month and God is saying to you right where you are now "REFRAIN YOUR VOICE FROM WEEPING AND YOUR EYES FROM TEARS". Meaning, God is seeing you, He is watching you right now. He knows your pains, your weakness, your struggles and He sees your tears. And He cares for you. God did not speak concerning your pasts. Though He spoke concerning your present state and your work but He spoke to your future. He gives us HOPE for the future. No matter what we are going through we must wait to rejoice. We must endure to tell the story behind our glory. Behind every glory there is a story. Please, do enjoy this beautiful song "I have a Hope by Tommy Walker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSbJtqYow3Q

PRAYER:

Almighty God, I surrender all to You, You are my Creator and my Hope. I commit all my activities this new month to You. I commit everyone in my family to You. And I declare this month, my month of celebration in Jesus' name. Amen

REVIVE YOUR HOPE

2010-07-25T20:00:00.001-07:00

This message was preached on Sunday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

REVIVE YOUR HOPE : PART 1

Heb 10:22- 25 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Your hope is under threat right now. You are undecided on the next direction to follow. Is like everything you tried and laboured for are not working out. Though you tried to blame others for your predicament, even you have held yourself responsible for all which befell on you but there is no physical solution. And at a point you think God is not concern about you. You tried several times to hold on but there is always a push over from the opposition. You tried to call on Jesus Christ and you even questioned His authority and His promise. And you asked "Why is He silent about my case?"

Here is the voice of God saying "REVIVE YOUR HOPE, I am watching you to change your thinking, confess to yourself what you want."

Stir up others into love and into good works. Do not stay away from Church because of oppositions or because of somebody. Do not drop your hope because of trials and tribulations. Hold on to your dream and to your calling. Your miracle is near. You are not forgotten, God knows your name and He knows all your situations. What you are going through right now is to reveal your best.

Please, do enjoy this video clip by Israel Houghton, we use it every sunday as our opening praise and worship song. "I am not forgotten" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L9n_Tb3PRc
PRAYER:

Almighty God, I call upon You today because I know You care for me and I am not forgotten. You know my name and You are watching me right now, I surrender everything about me to You in Jesus' name. Amen.

WHO TOUCHED ME?

2010-07-04T15:10:00.001-07:00

This message was preached on July 4th, 2010 by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, pass it on.

WHO TOUCHED ME?

Luke 8:43-48 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind Him, and touched the border of His garment and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with Him said, Master, the multitude throng and press You and You say Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto Him before all the people for what cause she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately. And He said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort your faith has made you whole, go in peace.

This is a familiar story of a woman who went through pains, rejection, weakness and depression. She spent everything she had, she was desperate to get her real self back. All doctors gave up on her. Her sickness during her time was like AIDS, no cure.

Though she was not recognized and appreciated by anyone but God recognized her by the purpose of which He created her.

Though loneliness, pains and shame were always there tormenting her but she refused to give up on her dream.

Though the long period of pains and deprivation was like a mighty road block before her but she keeps pushing until she pushed her way through.

When she was close to her miracle, the crowd became another obstacle for her but she keeps pushing. She was able to recognize the colour of Jesus Christ's garment and she focused on the garment. Despite the multitude touched Jesus Christ but there was a special touch which magnetized the anointing that healed the 12 years incurable disease.

Is your situation more severe than the one of this woman? No matter what you are going through just hold on and keep on pushing. Focus on the garment of the Master, push your way through to meet Him. If a woman who suffered blood issue for 12 years could pushed her way through then you can. It is not too late to be the person whom you are created to be. You just have to see your breakthrough manifesting. Give this new week a new name and it shall manifest the name.

PRAYER:

Almighty God, I know You are aware of everything about me. I know You created me for a purpose and I know You care for me. I receive a new strength to hold on and to push my way through. LORD Jesus Christ I am pushing my way to touch You. I refused to give up no matter what. I know my miracle is near and nothing can stop me. It is my turn to shine and I shine in Jesus' name. Amen.

Yours,

WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?

2010-06-16T09:11:00.000-07:00

WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?

Psalm 49:20 A Man who is in honour, yet he does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.

What should I do here? I have found myself in different situations where I searched for the answer to this very question "WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?". Silence filled this room of confusion, this room of loneliness of which I was a tenant. I listened to hear a voice but there was none, not even a similar weeping voice like mine was heard. "Could it be I am alone in this ugly situation?"
Can I talk to you? May be you are going through a situation right now and it does it appear nice.

Is like the door is closing up on you.

Is like you always make wrong moves.

Is like you have no friend any more.

Is like you are doing a wrong job.

Is like you occupied a wrong position.

Is like you are studying a wrong course.

Is like you have chosen a wrong career.

Is like you are in a wrong relationship.

Is like you are in a wrong environment.

And is like everything which has your name on it is wrong! Wrong!! Wrong!!!.
The best answer to "WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?" will come from God. You have to acknowledge His presence, that where you are right now your Creator is right there with you. Thank God for who you are and for all that you have. See your position as a promotion. See your situation as a blessing. Anywhere you are right now, you are there to manifest your blessings. You are in honour.

You can only see your position as a blessing when you throw away fear and worry. Throw away what you think people are saying about you. Satan will deceive you by saying "People are calling you names, people are laughing at you, people are saying this or that about you". Consider what God is saying about you. When God looks at you He sees His good and He called you "GOOD". Know that God's good will manifest your best, so you are the BEST. Please, do enjoy this song "Jesus sees my best" by Marvin Sapp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf9GZ36m37E

PRAYER:
Almighty God, I call on You in this moment of troubles, when the entire world is living in fears, I am calling on You to thank You. I am thanking You for; my destiny, my health, my marriage, my family, my job, my career, my ministry, my joy, my peace, and for my breakthroughs. I worship You for Your presence around me, no matter what, I am not alone. I am blessed in Jesus' name. Amen

THE POWER OF AGREEMENT

2010-06-14T09:32:00.000-07:00

Pastor Paul preached this message yesterday in form of a mini bible study, and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, do pass it on. Thanks

THE POWER OF AGREEMENT

For two persons to achieve positive results there must be an agreement. For two persons to dwell together peacefully there must be an agreement. For two to walk together on the same path without crisis there must be an agreement. For progress to manifest there must be an agreement in what you imagine, think, say, do and work. Even on what you eat there should be agreement, if your body does not agree with what you eat then there shall be a problem.

You can agree with others and you can agree with yourself. You can disagree with others and you can disagree with yourself. Now let us see what the Holy scripture says about "The Power of Agreement"

1. Mat 18:19-20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

2. Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

3. Gen 11:6-7 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language and this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

4.Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

AGREEMENT WITHIN SELF

There must be an agreement also within each person. For you to prosper in what you are doing there must be agreement between the members of your body. To achieve this your spirit must over power your flesh to drag it along, your flesh can only obey your spirit if your spirit is powerful enough to pull it along. And for your spirit to over power your flesh you must feed your spirit through fasting and fervent prayers. Anytime you are confused, there is disagreement in you. Anytime you are sick there is disagreement in you and anytime things are not working in the direction that you want then there is disagreement in you. Let us consider the following scriptures:

5. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation, the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

6. Romans 7:15-25 For that which I do I allow not, for what I would, that do I not but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

AGREEMENT WITH GOD

God wants you to agree with Him to move out of your pasts. He is not looking at your pasts but at your present. He wants you to move forward. Let go of your past, let go of the wrongs did to you. Let go of your pains, of your disappointments, let go of your fears and of worry. Come to your Creator and agree with Him. He is willing to give you a new name with a new look.

7. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

PRAYER:

Almighty God, I stand this moment in agreement with Your Holy Spirit to move forward in my life. I let go of my pasts, therefore today I open a new chapter in my life, I denounce all negative names from my life. I destroy all negative records about me. I over power all negative feelings and fears. I resurrect above all principalities and powers of darkness. I am covered in the blood of Jesus Christ and I reign with Christ in all which I am destined to say, to do and to accomplish in life. In Jesus' mighty name I prayed. Amen.
