If you're a believer, there are certain things that will naturally never appeal to you
You simply cannot have a taste for them
One of them is mocking or denigrating a human being regardless of your take on him
I know the Americans do politics in a dirty and morbid way but they
can never be the standard by which believers behave
Decency is a norm for us, we are the ones who cover the nakedness of others regardless of their conduct, religion or affiliation
I saw a video a few days ago, of a man whose clothes were soaked and I saw the comments posted by
many
For what?
For retweets and likes?
Oh, it is "politics", that is not a good excuse
Learn from the scriptures how a man of honour and dignity conducts himself or herself even in the face of persecution and danger
Look at a man like David, a man who was not filled with the Holy
Spirit as you are
Look at his conduct towards Saul?
You think he set the bar too high? Really?
I can never subject the glory of God in my life to such talks and ponderings
When I saw the video, my first reaction was that of concern for the man and I began to pray for him
For me
this is natural
I will do the same thing for anyone under an circumstances
I am a Prince of God, a restorer of the ways of my King
I conduct myself like one in whom his spirit dwells
I do not sit with the scornful or dine with mockers
No wonder I am like a plant planted by the
riverside
I am flourishing every day
It doesn't matter what unbelievers do, Abraham never became like the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah and Jesus never became like the Pharisees and religious leaders
We are led from the inside
When the young mocks the elderly, he opens the door
to being mocked when he grows old or to untimely death
We came into Christ's inheritance which he obtained through humility
We should not become like the children of this world in the name of politics, opposition and power
The king who set the precedence of killing princes in the
bible practically opened the door for the king coming after him to kill all his own children
We must all learn the significance of how we speak, think, behave and conduct ourselves at this time
Again, anyone on my timeline who posts denigrating stuff will be blocked, I am not a
fan on indecency and i do not keep the company of fools
We can disagree decently
I had a brother once who went about saying all sorts of things about me
Things that were not true in any way
People expected me to call him to order and I tried
Whenever he sees me, he would says "No
sir, i didnt say anything negative sir, i love you sir etc
but right after he would send all sorts of messages and say all sorts of things about me that are untrue and whatever
I asked the Lord what to do one day
The Lord said "Honour him"
Toh!
So I started disregarding his talks
I really didn't know what he desired of me and i stopped bothering myself about it
He told somebody he wouldn't worship in the same church with me
So I kept away from that church and allowed brotherly love to continue
It took nothing away from me
It made me a better person!
I am challenging us to be better believers, not pretenders
You shouldn't use the same mouth you use to worship God to denigrate, mock and ridicule others
You were deliberately crafted to bear fruits of righteousness
You have resident in you the "HOLY" spirit
Please act like it

We were all little children once, the kind called Nepios in Greek
I asked to be made the minister of the choir in a church full of young talented people in the choir but slacking the manifestation of the fire of the Holy Spirit
The choir was rocked by scandals under the previous
minister and I felt I could do better with the group
I can barely hold a note but my heart is full of divinely inspired melodies
The pastor felt I could be help and obliged me
I began holding meetings with the choir
At the meetings, we pray in the spirit for hours and we sing in
the spirit for hours
It didnt make any sense at first
In fact, the pastor protested that the choir was singing in tongues too much during the Sunday services and I was berated several times but I stuck to my guns
I was determined to stir the pneuma in their hearts until the dam

2008, i met a lady in the youth fellowship of the church I was was attending
A few months after cI joined the church, I became the youth president of the church
I became friends with this lady, with the intention of marrying her
When asked her to marry me, she told me to speak to
her mother of my intentions
She said this will convince her to take me serious
I did
After my seriousness had been established, she began to come over to my house once in a while with her younger sister
We were serious believers and we did everything properly (As it should be)
Whenever she calls me to say she would be coming to say hello, I would frantically do everything to keep my flat in order
I am not the finicky type but I still didn't want her to have the impression that she was walking into a pigsty or that I expected her to be performing "wifey

I went to minister to man in Lagos today
He was a ritualist and had been doing rituals for many years
He said the rituals he does is for long life (not for money) He said he was born with sickle cell anemia and was not supposed to live long but he was the only son of his father
So his father went all out looking for a way to preserve his life
He said after years of searching, his father found something potent
An incantation that would invoke a spirit into him to make him live longer than the thirty-three years predicted for him through divination
All he was expected to do was have sex with a lady, wipe her with an handkerchief after they were done (with his semen dripping out of her) and then he will do what he was told to do and he will live for another month or two
The lady he slept with will not run mad or die but she

In her opinion, beauty wasn’t really an asset to the ladies in their family
They were all exceptionally beautiful but they found themselves caught in the harsh reality of tradition, culture and religion
Her grandfather was a chieftain in a particular religion
They were from the
north and that meant their destiny as women was totally under the control of the men in the family
Beauty became a bargaining chip for relevance, power brokerage, political affiliation, strengthening old relationships or forging new ones
Her sisters were given to older men as
Second, third and fourth wives respectively
They were educated but not expected to do anything with it other than mind the home
She wanted more but there was no clear cut path to it
She studied in America but it was all for show, to increase her value
In terms of who marries who!

This project has commenced! As usual our projects are an excuse to open channels of blessing unto the church. Many supported from within the ministry and the testimonies started pouring in from last weekend. You can be a part of this project too. We are building a hospital
a retreat centre, a radio station and a 500 seater auditorium at Kajede village in Oyo State for the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
We are building as instructed by the Holy Spirit. A bag of cement is 4,200 Naira only and we need thousands of bags.
The work has started and it won’t
stop. If you’d like to be a part of it in anyway, please send me a DM or a message on 08072744871 WhatsApp.
I ask that you do this as led by the Holy Spirit (I do not preach 10 to make 1000 seed giving) I believe in His people cheerfully and willingly do His will!
Please join us!

He was working in the oil sector
She was working in the entertainment sector
He was an engineer with one of the oil companies
She was a model, a rare beauty
They met on valentines day
She came to Nigeria from Canada to heal from a heartbreak
He took himself out to the club to
some fun
He was not interested in anything serious until he saw her
She was seated at a table by herself, doing nothing
He simply couldn't take his eyes off her
Something about her struck him like lightening
It arrested his gaze and bedazzled his mind
He found himself gravitating
towards her subconsciously
He checked himself when he was a few feet away from her
She looked like one of those girls with "complicated" written all over them
He was not looking to get into a relationship at that time
He would love to meet a lady to chat with and perhaps even
