#STOP MAKING THE DEVIL 👺FAMOUS
1.
"The Devil is a liar" shouted his wife as she tried to turn on the car.

"How is the Devil a liar? What has the Devil done this time?" He asked his wife as he sat on the passenger seat. She was to drive today
.
2.
"Well, we've run out fuel and we need to get to the Church event quickly. I am preaching today and the Devil is trying to frustrate me. The Devil is a liar" she said then declared some Bible verses.

He laughed and looked to the side.
3.
"What are you laughing at?" She asked him turning to face him.

"Why are you making the Devil famous?" He asked her.

She looked at him surprised. Giving him that spiritual face.

"Honey, the Devil is not to blame for the low fuel, we are. u forgot to go to the petrol station
4.
yesterday after d visit from your mom. You are giving the Devil too much credit.When things go wrong it is not always the Devil's fault. He is not that powerful. Many times it is just a matter of poor human decisions & laziness" he said.

She looked at him intently.

Silence.
5.
He smiled and continued, "Yes honey, like the day we were financially struggling. That wasn't the Devil plotting against us. It was just us who were making a mess and not making good financial decisions. We were borrowing too much, spending too much and living above our means.
6.
Once we got more disciplined, we attracted wealth. Look at us now, we were able to buy a new car and we've built our own home"

She unbuckled her seat belt and listened to her husband.

"When we were struggling to raise our teenage daughter. It wasn't the Devil who was messing
7.
our family. It was us as parents who didn't take time to understand how to raise a teenager. We didn't listen to her, we were talking down at her demanding respect and believing that since we love God she will tow the line. Once we went for the parent's seminar and we learnt
8.
the strategy on how to raise a teenager, our relationship with our daughter has improved. She even tells us she loves us these days, she hugs you, takes us out for lunch occasionally" he continued.

She sighed
9.
"When I applied for that job that I wanted so much. We prayed and prayed about it. But the truth is, I didn't get the job, not because of the Devil as we used to say; but because I wasn't qualified. The most qualified person got the job. I wasn't blessed by it, but God blessed
10.
another with it. And look how things turned out. Because I didn't get the job, I ventured into business and look at how successful I have been" he told her.

She put out a smile.

"When our marriage was going through difficulty and we used to say that the Devil has cursed us,
11.
we used to wonder whether we were carrying generational curses since both our parent's marriages failed. We were wrong. The moment we put effort to better our communication and to spend more quality time together, our marriage improved" he said looking at her smile.
12.
When we had a car accident. That wasn't the Devil as we used to say 'Shetani ashindwe'. That was my fault, my recklessness for driving while exhausted, battling fatigue. It was a bad choice, not the Devil. Many Christians are used to blaming the Devil thereby shifting
13.
responsibility from themselves. They don't work on their mess and much of what they do is say the Devil is at work. Many marriages are failing, not because the Devil is this powerful being succeeding; but because of laziness, irresponsibility and indecision by the couple. So
14.
no Honey, we will not make the Devil famous. We will declare more about God's goodness and be good stewards of our blessings.We will not live in fear thinking the Devil is coming for us yet we have God on our side to protect us. We will take responsibility. When we fail to do
15.
something, we will own up and do better" he spoke further.

"Have I ever told you how much I admire you my amazing husband?" she told him.

He smiled and said, "You can tell me one more time"

She kissed him and said, "I love you. Honey, let's board a matatu. We don't have
16.
much time. The sermon I am going to preach has changed. I will preach on exactly what I have learnt from you: Stop making the Devil famous. No more giving the Enemy that has been defeated free publicity"

#satan is well organized...yes, I said so without reservations...
1.
When Jesus asked , what is your name in the book of Mark 5:9 KJV
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Note... d demon(s)responded "my name is legion, for we are many",
we are a Regiment,
we match together,
we are orderly.
Satan has a highly organized & effective army & this is b/c, his agents or demons are not disorganized as we erroneously think when they come against u & I.
When Satan matches with his demons they all match with a "spirit" of unity.
they accused Jesus of casting out Satan in Satan's name..Luke 11:17-18 KJV
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; & a house divided

NO MORE CRUMBS Part 1

*Luke 16:20-21 KJV*
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
[21] *And desiring to be fed with the crumbs* which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores
*Luke 16:20 MSG*
A poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, had been dumped on his doorstep.
Luke 16:21a *All he lived for was to get a meal from scraps off the rich man's table* .

*V21* KJV - And *desiring* to be fed with the crumbs
*V21* MSG -All he lived for was to
get the scraps that fell from the rich man's table.
👇🏼
If truth must be told...there are many in this category today.

👉🏼How can anyone live for crumbs?
👉🏼How can anyone be desiring to be fed with crumbs?
👇🏼
✔️He did not desire to be rich.
✔️He did not desire to be successful.

#My personal encounter with SARs.
1
I Was on my way to Ibadan for a ministration this faithful Sunday morning (a few months ago) and out of the blues, this SARs operational vehicle just pulled out of it's lane and started driving at breakneck speed against traffic and before I Image
2.
could swerve, they ran into the side of my car and broke the side mirror and drove off. I stopped in the middle of the road trying to process how law enforcement agents could be so unruly, inconsiderate and foolish. (Note, they were not in pursuit of any offender. They pulled
3.
out because traffic wasn't moving at their pace.)

Now, backbl to my encounter...Before, I could finish processing what just happened, I saw them right in front of my car with guns corked. Two of them alighted from their vehicle racing towards my car and, suddenly slowed down

3.
no future developmental goals/ plan, no initiatives for growth, no social care/economic structures, no proper justice system, no genius will to serve, no clues about gov responsibilities to its people, no decency of purpose, no respect for life.

#Nigeria @60

Many are asking, what is there to be thankful for? buy, I choose to join the few who will always be eternally grateful to God.

we will not just move on like nothing happened. Thank Him

We should make a big deal of everything God did for us... giving Him glory..
When we offer Thanksgiving, it is proof we have not lost our memory

it is also because we recognize the source of our blessings..
3.
As we give thanks, we cannot afford to do it in moderation to the Almighty, because, the way we show appreciation can trigger more from the same source. 

If we fail to acknowledge what God has done now, who will help us again.
