I am a believer in Christ married with two children. My deepest devotion is to see the kingdom of God expand until His will is completely done in the earth. However I live a very simple life and as I teach continually in His vineyard, I continue to look forward for His appearing.

- YOUR OBEDIENCE IS YOUR STRATEGY
Look at what The Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 10:6. It says we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience when your obedience is complete.
Do you understand what that means?
Every attack you face—witchcraft, oppression, thoughts, battles—these are acts of disobedience against God’s order. But before you can stand and deal with them, something must happen first: your obedience must be complete.
Obedience is not just morality. It is strategy. First you obey, then you gain authority.
Now when disobedience shows up—around you or against you—you are ready. You deal with it easily. It will even look like those problems never existed.
Why? Because you did your part.
Your part is obedience. Then you can punish disobedience.
Many people want to fight without obeying. It doesn’t work. You don’t skip obedience and go straight to power. Obedience is what gives you the right to act.
Do you really want to have victory in life, do you want to enjoy true happiness? Do you want to see that problem dissolve even before you know the severity of it? Obedience is the key, you will even get others fight for you even without your knowledge just because you are obedient.

Please log in to like, share and comment! - NEW LIFE SHOWS THROUGH FRUIT, NOT APPEARANCE
The difference between a person who knows God and one who does not is not firstly external appearance. It is not success, possessions, or religious activity.
It is fruit.
When a person comes into Christ, something changes inwardly. Love begins to grow for God’s people. A desire for righteousness begins to form.
1st John 3:10 explains it clearly. The children of God and the children of the devil are known by evidence. One evidence is love for the brethren. Another is righteousness.
Before, there was hatred, indifference, or avoidance. After new life, there is a pull toward what is right and toward God’s people.
This does not mean believers never fail. It means the direction has changed. There is conviction when wrong is done, not comfort in it.
The illustration is like a generator. A generator can exist in place, but without fuel it produces nothing. When fuel is added, power flows.
In the same way, when the life of God enters a person, something begins to flow outward. The life of God produces visible fruit.
Not appearance. Not activity. But Fruit. This fruit is sharpened by The Holy Spirit that dwells in the person, so if you are still battling with casting away your old nature, return to The Holy Spirit in you and allow Him to eagerly do His work in you. It is only by your complete surrender to Him that you can truly have the acceptable fruit visible to all.

Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.—1 JOHN 4:4
Many people jump over into the arena of reason and try to figure God out. For example, they’ll think, Why did God heal the blind woman instantly and not the little boy? I don’t understand that. They’ll sit around and try to figure it out in their head and miss their own healing.
Don’t ever try to figure God out. We can’t figure Him out in our little peanut brain! We should just go ahead and rejoice in what He does do, whether it’s instantaneous or over a period of time. The problem is not with God. In the case of the blind woman and the little boy, one of them probably took hold of healing instantly, and the other probably took hold of it gradually.
You see, oftentimes, the healing power of God is administered to a person, and the healing process becomes evident later on. Healing is by degrees and it is based on two conditions. First, it is based on the degree of healing power administered. Second, it is based on the degree of faith that gives action to the healing power administered.
Sometimes the healing power of God is administered to a person to such a degree that the person is supernaturally charged with the power of God, just as a person might be charged with electricity. And yet no real or final healing takes place until something happens that releases the faith of the individual.
Spirit-filled believers should be conscious of the healing power of God and the life of God that is in them (see First John 4:4). They can do it if they’ll wait on God, meditate on His Word, and pray.
Confession:
The life of God is in me. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world!

- THE DANGER OF PRESUMPTION AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
A major problem in the life of many believers is presumption. They assume they already know God, already understand His ways, already understand scripture.
A presumption works like this: you are directed to look in a direction, but you look wrongly, and still conclude you have seen correctly. Then you begin to teach others based on what you assumed, not what is true.
That is how many false ideas about God spread. People assume what God is like, what He approves, what He desires, and what He rejects, without checking scripture.
For example, someone hears a statement and builds a doctrine from a wrong interpretation. Then they begin to say, “This is what God says,” when God never said it.
Presumptions block true knowledge of God. They oppose revelation. They make a person feel they already know, so they stop searching.
And once that happens, even scripture becomes filtered through assumption instead of understanding.
A wise person does not assume. A wise person goes back to scripture, asking what God actually says, not what has been assumed over time.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth.

- [Let’s talk about the beating of Jesus
Not the soft version many people imagine.
The real one.
Because the cross did not start at Calvary.
The suffering began long before the nails ever touched His hands.
When Jesus was handed over to be crucified, the Roman soldiers first scourged Him.
This was not a simple whipping.
The Romans used a weapon called a flagrum or flagellum. It was a whip with multiple leather strands. At the end of each strand were pieces of bone, metal, and sharp hooks designed to tear flesh.
The purpose was not just punishment.
It was destruction of the body.
The victim was tied to a post, stretched so the back was exposed. Each strike caused the metal and bone to dig into the skin. When the whip was pulled back, it ripped flesh away from the body.
Early historians and medical researchers describe that Roman scourging often exposed muscle tissue and sometimes even bone.
Isaiah prophesied this hundreds of years before it happened.
Isaiah 52:14 says
“His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being.”
Think about that.
The prophet is saying the Messiah would be beaten so severely that He would hardly look human anymore.
Isaiah 53:5 says
“By His stripes we are healed.”
Those “stripes” were not symbolic.
They were literal lashes that tore open His body.
Medical analysis suggests that after such scourging a person would experience hypovolemic shock, which means severe blood loss causing the body to begin shutting down. Blood pressure drops. Organs begin failing. Breathing becomes shallow.
And Jesus had not even been crucified yet.
After the scourging, the soldiers mocked Him.
They twisted together a crown of thorns and pressed it into His scalp. The scalp is one of the most vascular areas of the body, meaning it bleeds heavily when punctured.
Blood would have run down His face.
They struck Him with a staff.
They spat on Him.
They mocked Him as King.
Then they placed the crossbeam on His already torn shoulders and forced Him to carry it through the streets.
Why does this matter?
Because many people talk about the cross without understanding the price that was paid before the cross.
Jesus did not casually walk to Calvary.
He was crushed, torn, humiliated, and beaten so that the debt of sin could be paid in full.
The lashes were not random.
They were substitution.
The punishment that belonged to us was placed on Him.
Our rebellion.
Our sin.
Our shame.
Our guilt.
The wrath that justice demanded was poured onto the body of Christ.
This is why the gospel is not just a story about love.
It is a story about sacrifice.
It is a story about atonement.
It is a story about a King who took the beating meant for His people.
When Jesus cried “It is finished,” He was declaring that the payment for sin had been completed.
Not partially.
Not temporarily.
Completely.
The blood that flowed from those wounds became the price of redemption.
1 Peter 2:24 says
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.”
So when we talk about salvation, we cannot treat it casually.
Freedom cost Him His flesh.
Grace cost Him His blood.
Redemption cost Him His life.
And the question every believer must face is this:
If Christ was willing to endure that for our salvation,
how can we treat sin like it is small?
The lashes were real.
The suffering was real.
The blood was real.
And the salvation purchased through it is real.
Never forget "the price that was paid.][Let’s talk about the beating of Jesus 🩸 Not the soft version many people imagine. The real one. Because the cross did not start at Calvary.

- THE GIANT OF IMPATIENCE
Impatience is a giant on your land. Many people start well. They start building. They start praying. They start obeying God. Then impatience comes and whispers, “It’s taking too long. Move.” That’s the internal enemy that makes people abandon processes God designed to grow them.
A Trojan horse—something attractive, impressive, and big; you pull it inside your gates. That impatience to “have something now” will make you drag in something that destroys you tomorrow. God says, “Wait.” Impatience says, “No, I must see results now.”
When people say, “I don’t know why things fell apart,” check impatience. It is one of the giants that doesn't seem like a giant. It seems like motivation. It seems like a drive. But when the time comes, it opens the gate and lets in discouragement, compromise, resentment, fleshly decisions.
Don’t tolerate impatience. If you don’t cast it out, you will keep starting and stopping. And the land God gave you will remain uncultivated.

- THE GIANT OF FEAR ON YOUR LAND
Fear is a giant. It is one of the real giants sitting on the land God gave you. People think their problem is demons flying around in their village. Yes, those things can exist, but that’s not the main occupier of your territory. I’m talking about the enemy that sits inside your land, the one you tolerate, the one you excuse. Fear. The fear of failing, the fear of stepping out, the fear of looking foolish, the fear of trying.
Israel had external enemies, yes—Assyria, Babylon, even Egypt at different points. Those were external pressures. But I’m talking about Canaan—your own land. The place God said, “This is yours.” Inside that land were giants. And God said, “Drive them out.” If you don’t deal with the giants inside, the ones outside will come and partner with them. Fifth columnists. They will open the door at night from the inside.
Fear is like that Trojan horse. You think it’s harmless—“I’m just being careful.” Meanwhile, it hides soldiers inside. At the right time, fear opens the gate of your heart and lets in depression, confusion, paralysis. And you’re wondering why nothing moves in your life. You think it’s the devil from your village. Sometimes, yes. But most times, it’s the fear you allowed inside that called them in.
This is the truth many people don’t want to hear: your internal giants will always betray you. You don’t deal with fear, it will take over your destiny. If you want the milk and honey God promised, fear can't stay. It must go. Yes, it must go! Get rid of it, just take that step that seemed impossible, try that thing you think has never been done before, break that friendship, yes, start that business even though the money is too little, just take that step and watch your fears disappear like a mirage. You will notice that it was only a trick set to keep you in bondage.
You can start today, then rest I promise you would be history.THE GIANT OF FEAR ON YOUR LAND Fear is a giant. It is one of the real giants sitting on the land God gave you.

- Grateful, Despite All Odds
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines… yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”(Habakkuk 3:17–18)
Beloved, we thank God for preserving us through the first three months( first quarter) of the year. Despite the unrest, uncertainties, and calamities across the world, His mercy has kept us. By His grace, we have made it into the fourth month (first of the second quarter), April. Welcome to this new month of April.
As we step into this fresh season, one truth remains powerful: gratitude is not only for when life is easy; gratitude is also a choice when life is hard.
There are moments when life does not go as planned. Prayers seem delayed. Strength feels low. Doors appear closed. Answers are not clear. Marriage chaotic. Health failing. Delinquent child, though raised God's way. Divorce finalized, despite efforts to salvage the union. Yet, in the middle of it all, God is still worthy of praise. Beloved, irrespective of your own genuine, unpleasant experience, accident or occurrence, God still remains sovereign.
That is the spirit behind Habakkuk 3:17–18:
Even if things are not working the way I expected, I will still praise Him.
Even if the harvest seems delayed, I will still rejoice in the Lord.
Even if the odds are against me, I will still trust the God of my salvation.
This is not denial. This is faith.
This is not pretending all is well. This is declaring that God is still good, still faithful, and still in control.
This new month, choose gratitude.
Not because everything is perfect, but because God remains constant.
Not because there are no battles, but because His presence is with you.
Not because you understand everything, but because you know the One who holds everything.
Let this month begin with praise on your lips and hope in your heart.
Be grateful for life.
Be grateful for grace.
Be grateful for strength to keep going.
Be grateful that your story is not over.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for bringing us into a new month. Thank You for keeping us through the past three months of the year. Even through challenges, uncertainties, and delays, we choose to remain grateful. Like Habakkuk declared in the anchor scripture above, help us to rejoice in You despite all odds. Let our hearts remain full of hope, and let this month bring fresh strength, new mercies, and undeniable testimonies. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
I solemnly declare this month:
"Even if the fig tree does not blossom, even if the odds seem against me, I'll still praise Him".
The anchor scripture reminds us that gratitude and praise are powerful expressions of faith.
Wishing you God's peace.Grateful, Despite All Odds “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines… yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”(Habakkuk 3:17–18) Beloved, we thank God for preserving us through the first three months( first quarter) of the year.

- STAYING CLOSE TO THE TRUE RIVER
There is so much falsehood in The Church today, and The Holy Spirit is often grieved. So many ministers have moved so far from the River of God that they are doing their own things, and the Spirit is not near them.
Some people are near a river, but it’s a dirty river—not God’s River. Revelation 12 shows that the dragon sends a flood, a river from his mouth, to overtake the woman—the church. It is a river of death, full of lies and deception. Because of the deception many children of God who should be saints are living in ungodliness and rebellion because they have not been taught The Truth. It takes a minister who knows The Truth to teach it.
I know a young minister who loves The Lord and is willing to do anything but his instructors instructed him in a wrong way I had to make a conscious decision to bring him to The Truth.
If The Spirit of Truth is a River of pure water, then Satan’s river is the opposite: a river of lies and half-truths. When it comes to sweep you away, it brings deception and then destruction. We must choose carefully which river we drink from.
May The Lord help The Church in these last days to not to fulfil the prophecy of Jesus concerning the state of believers when He shall come again. Matthew 24:12; Luke 18:8

So many ministers have moved so far from the River of God that they are doing their own things, and the Spirit is not near them. Some people are near a river, but it’s a dirty river—not God’s River. Revelation 12 shows that the dragon sends a flood, a river from his mouth, to overtake the woman—the church. It is a river of death, full of lies and deception. Because of the deception many children of God who should be saints are living in ungodliness and rebellion because they have not been taught The Truth. It takes a minister who knows The Truth to teach it. I know a young minister who loves The Lord and is willing to do anything but his instructors instructed him in a wrong way I had to make a conscious decision to bring him to The Truth. If The Spirit of Truth is a River of pure water, then Satan’s river is the opposite: a river of lies and half-truths. When it comes to sweep you away, it brings deception and then destruction. We must choose carefully which river we drink from. May The Lord help The Church in these last days to not to fulfil the prophecy of Jesus concerning the state of believers when He shall come again. Matthew 24:12; Luke 18:8 Shalom!0 Comments 0 Shares 27 Views

- WHEN THE BOOKS ARE OPENED
Every person has a book written by God. Psalm 139:16 says all our days were written before one of them came to be.
One day, those books will be opened. Revelation 20 says the books will be opened, and every person judged according to what is written. There’s a book of life, and there are books—individual records of our deeds.
When that day comes, there will be no smiles. His eyes will be like fire, His feet like bronze. The same Jesus who once embraced us in love will return as a judge.
If you wait until you see Him to start taking things seriously, you’re not wise. You should know now, while you still have the chance, that your life is being written daily. Don’t wait till it’s time to read the book before you realize what should have been written there.
If your life is driven by the love of money, if you’ve traded your walk with God to chase after wealth, if you’ve stopped drinking from the river of life, your book is already writing itself. And when it’s opened, there’ll be no time to edit it.
Now is the time to return—to the river of God's love and have yourself washed, to the Spirit That Gave to receive a new life, and to obedience of God's way of living. Before the day when hands will be on heads and mouths open in regret, while the books are being read...make yourself ready.

After you’ve come to Jesus as The Way, you must learn to continue in His Word. In John 8:31–32, He said, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free.”
You didn’t know The Truth the moment you got saved. You only knew The Way. Truth comes by continuing — by staying, abiding, obeying, and learning. As you continue, you begin to see the truth about anger, about lies, about holiness, about gifts, about family, about everything. He begins to show you reality from His perspective.
That’s how He teaches you. The Holy Spirit is called The Spirit of Truth because He leads you into all truth. It’s a journey. Some people don’t continue — that’s why they never grow.
If you learn to continue in The Word, you’ll stand firm anywhere — even if you were thrown into a desert without network, without church, without anyone. The Word itself will sustain you. That’s what can keep you from turning away from God even as a young believer. From the beginning, I learned to keep reading, studying, and meditating and that's how I learned to feed on The Word.
It's never late, The Word has the power to make you ready for victorious Christian living. Take your time and get everything you need to on The Word and watch as you grow to the fullest stature of a matured believer.
