Don't Be Deceived By Anointing/Manifestation Of Power.

Do not be merely carried away by waves made by a man so anointed and who even functions with a strong presence of God in his teaching/prayer meetings.


*Test the spirit, find out what he's ultimately after....is he after his own or after God, does he preach himself, seeking the recognition of men, seeking the submission, reverence & honour that comes from men; is he one who motivates men to seek God just for things, material prosperity, breakthrough etc. or is he one who is wholly after God, wholly after seeking God for who he is, wholly after bringing men to the knowledge of the Son of God, such that men might learn to hear, to fear & obey God, to submit themselves to God?


In the fall of satan who was the covering cherub, we see the fearful possibility of one being so anointed and even operating/functioning in the very presence of God in the midst of the stones of fire, and yet wholly given over to self obsession & spiritual ambition, seeking his own, charting his own course & way in the pursuit of self glory and honour.


Sadly, we live in a time when many professing christians earnestly crave & pray 'fire prayers' for the lusts & self ambitions of their heart in God's very presence & by the anointing God has given them, seeking for self greatness & glory; just as the anointed cherub that covereth, craved & expressed his own self spiritual ambition & aspiration in the very presence of God, in the midst of the stones of fire...he aspired to be like the most High.

False Assertions About Sin. Part 6.

False Assertions Addressed By John.  (3.) "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."  1 John 1:10. This is the third false assertion about sin, which John the apostle dealt with. I know you must have heard some preachers/christians today teaching that the new creation man does not have a past; that the new creation man is not the man that Christ died for, that the new creation is not the redeemed for he never existed prior to his birth in Christ. I was once in a service in 2001 when a renown preacher/televangelist, in a bid to demonstrate and pass across this teaching, brought out two men, and put one of them infront and said that is the sinner, that is the man that Christ died for, the man that was redeemed; he can sing: 'Amazing grace...that saved a wretch like me'; he can sing the songs of redemption.  He then led the second man out and said that is the new creation man, the man who has no past; that is

Who Is A Man Of God? Part 1.

The Man Of God Or The Man Of Himself.  A very thin line exists between a man of God and a man of himself. Many today are called men of God but they are men of themselves or men of the people. They speak of themselves, represent their own interests and concerns, even in the things of God. It's high time we defined who a man of God is. The general tendency we have is to refer to people as men of God, simply because they carry the bible and preach or because they set up a religious organisation, and have a building where they use a microphone to speak to a congregation. There's also the tendency to think that those called into the word ministry like apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors, are automatically constituted men of God. The appellation or designation 'man of God' was not carelessly used in scriptures, and should not be carelessly used by any bible believer. Scriptures scarcely referred to men as 'men of God', thus we should be c

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.  By Dipo Ecclesia When I gave my heart to Jesus as a teenager and later staggered in faith, I became agnostic and showed complete apathy to the things of the spirit and I stopped going to church. I began to doubt everything about  Christianity and the bible and will try hard to argue the bible logically with anybody I see. After some years (Five years precisely), there was this strong and serious desire for me to seek God again (I actually embraced Islam at a point but just didn't practice). The desire to seek God was so strong and compelling that it became a struggle with me and the Lord before I finally yielded and bent to the will of the Lord and was restored. Back then I made up my mind that if there is really a Living God and since I HAVE JUST ONE LIFE, then I want to know Him myself before I die and not just what preachers have being telling me, in fact I asked God to show Himself to me and He did by some encounter
