Christianity is the life of God in a human person by Jesus Christ.
Being a Christian doesn't mean I have decided to change my ways and live a good life...
If it is about you changing your ways by yourself, you can do that anytime and you don't need to become a Christian at all!

Christianity is accepting the gift of God (Jesus) as your Lord and saviour and receiving his Spirit (Holy Spirit) in your spirit willingly
You become one with His nature and He becomes the Lord of your life
I have met people who turned their lives around by their own effort, most

times, such people become self-righteous and insufferable.
I know a professor who stopped smoking by his own self-discipline, whenever he talked about other people suffering from addiction, he called them weak ninnies!
He was seen as lacking compassion and empathy and many people

dislike him
This is not the way Jesus was and this is not the way a believer will be
We love as a default because the Spirit of Jesus is a spirit of love
We have his life and nature in our spirit and therefore we show people the way to the higher life
We have received the life

of Jesus into our spirit and we are living in that reality!
I have met "Born Again" individuals who practice another religion
They are not Christians and yet they try as much as possible to live a "Holy" life
I was very impressed when I met some students from a non-Christian

private University as an undergraduate
The students of the school and the students of my school behaved in a very similar manner
It was a gathering of Nigerian Universities
Both schools stood out!
And yet, we belonged to two different religions
Morality was the similarity we had

in common
Truth is, morality is of no use when it comes to your eternal destiny
Heaven was not created to accommodate human beings
The earth was the primary habitation we were meant to dwell in
Only those who had become born again through Christ can dwell in heaven
Jesus said to

Niccodemus "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God"
The first birth was physical and it equips us to live on the earth
The second birth was spiritual
Since heaven can only accommodate spirit beings like angels (Jesus said this very clearly in Matthew 22:30)

those who receive the Holy Spirit after accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour (becoming born again) are the only ones who can ascend to where Jesus is!
The Bible said Jesus ascended to heaven and he promised believers that In his father's house there are many mansions

He said he was going ahead to prepare a place for us so that where he is we can be also!
This was primarily why we received the Holy Spirit
He came from above on the day of Pentecost to dwell in us so that when it is time, we will ascend like Jesus did.
Apostle Paul wrote in the

book of Thessalonians about the Arch Angel blowing the trumpet and we being caught up in the air!
This is not the reality of mankind!
Psalm 44:25 says "The soul of men sink into the dust and their bodies cling to the earth"
Only those who belong to Him can ascend to where He is!

Other religions talk of Valhalla, Aljanna, Ajule Orun, Nirvana, Moksha, Zoroastrianism, Gan Eden and so on
They have no evidence such existed
They had no one who went and came back from such
They just talk about it hopefully hoping such existed
But this is not so for the believer

From the day he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and saviour and received the Holy Spirit, he was translated from darkness into light
He became a citizen of heaven and lives here on earth as an ambassador of Christ.
You can only be an ambassador of a Kingdom you hail from!
This

is the assurance believers have right from this world through Christ Jesus
We are not hoping to make heaven
Heaven is already alive in us
This is why we bring heaven's reality to bear as we heal the sick and raise the dead
This is why you must give your life to Jesus today. This

is about your eternal destiny
Mankind is nothing but dust and chaff
You can become a Christkind today
Be born of the Word and the Spirit
You can settle your eternal destiny
You can rule and reign in life
You have that opportunity to have eternal life
Send me a DM
Jesus loves you

A case was brought to me. A woman working with a multinational whose husband’s business was not doing well. The man returned from the UK with money and bought four trucks to start logistics business but within two years a series of bad decisions killed his business. He refused to

get a job. The wife was working with A bank and later moved to the multinational. She was paying the rent and maintaining the cars. She had money and thought as long as she was footing the bills, they should be fine. The husband stopped sleeping with her somehow. She said she

couldn’t say how that happened.
He would consider the fact that she had been working all day and shouldn’t be warming his bed at night and therefore restrain himself from making sexual advances. She felt since she was putting al the money on the table she shouldn’t be begging

It began as a harmless banter
He was married
She was single
He was the Acting Head of Public Relations in his company
He had assumed he was going to be given the role based on his performance
Suddenly he received a memo that the company had employed a Head of Public Relations and

He had to answer to her
He told himself the organization didn’t want to give the youth a chance
He assumed they recruited someone older and more he experienced
He was doing a fantastic job and he knew it
A few days later, his boss resumed and he was shocked
His boss was a lady

A lady who was five years younger than him
He didn’t know what to think
Was it a “We need more female in this organization” thing or a measure of how the management saw him?
He had no problem answering to the lady but he had a problem with nepotism
He was not sure she was brought

A time came when he had to sit himself down and admit the truth, he had totally lost the plot
He had derailed from the course the Holy Spirit set his feet on when they met and had an intimate discussion in 2007
He was in a religious setup but he was drained and always felt like

running away or doing something so foolish people around him will see his cry for help and do something to help him!
He needed help badly and he knew it
The only problem was how to get the help
The only problem was how to reconnect to the source where he got his assignments

Several years before
He started fasting and praying but it was from a point of panic and self loathing, he didn’t hear anything
He went to meet several spiritual leaders for help
“What is the Holy Spirit saying?” He asked
One said “Buy good gifts for three prophets you know” he

They were at a vigil when the issue came to light
The pastor of the church heard the testimony of one of the men of the church earlier that week and decided to allow him to share with the brethren
The man took the microphone and explained how he had

survived for two years without a job!
As soon as he said "Without a job" the congregation gasped!
It was impossible to even contemplate that the man was out of job for a second
He always dressed corporately and drove a good car
Everybody saw him as one of the gainfully employed

members of the church
The man explained further that a week after he lost his job in a stock brokering firm, his wife found him crying and promised him she would ensure his shame was covered
The man said at the end of every month, his wife would hand over her ATM card to him and

Some years ago, I had to travel with my former boss to minister somewhere
We went with two other people
On our way back from the journey, one of them told my former boss he defied his pastor to travel with us
Apparently, his pastor had placed him under correction for an issue

The "punishment" was for him to be in church every Sunday for three months until the issues had been resolved
He damned the consequences and decided to call the pastor's bluff
He was an anointed minister of God and nobody had the right to place him under any form of punishment

My former boss was furious when he heard
He claimed the guy's move was foolish and all
I felt my boss was exaggerating
The ministration we went for was a success and the guy ministered very well
Five or six weeks later, a young lady came to see my boss at the office
She was a

@dafidimimo

On day two in Kwara, I was with @dafidimimo @eyitayofelix @ls_kpagih in the car when @bukola_adewuyi1 came to call me that something was going on in the Coaster bus the PSSBC ministers boarded.
We had all just left the crusade ground some minutes earlier where we saw many

miracles happen
By natural law, they should be tired
I was especially looking forward to some hours of rest before having an hour of teaching with them later in the night
I got alighted from the car and walked briskly to the coaster bus
When I got there, there was a deep stirring

I saw my brothers and sisters praying, screaming, crying, laughing, singing, jumping...In the bus!
I wanted to round it off and ask them to alight but i found myself drawn into the Ananah(cloud) and within a few seconds I started praying with them
We prayed on and on
When I felt
