Unending Horizons Of Truth.

Couple of years ago as a young believer i met a young man from a certain denomination known for the prosperity gospel, and he said to me that do i know that he can teach on money from Genesis to Revelation, that he can literally use every single verse of the bible to teach about money, even verses in the book of Revelation which talk about the endtime.  I marvelled at the audacity/temerity of his brazen foolishness. He had been wrongly discipled in a denomination led by a man who claims that God called & commissioned him to make his people rich, so he himself boasts in a supposed ability to twist every verse of scripture & make them talk about nothing but money.  This is exactly what the covetous preachers who emphasise firstfruits do, they weave & twist what the bible teaches on the subject, turning it into people's first salary/income for the year which must be brought to the building they call church/house of God.  Yes firstfruit is biblical but the tragedy...

 There is a serious satanic reaction & attack against the exposure of high powered network of deception, evil, wickedness & occultism in the church. The move of the Spirit of God in the days we're in is to expose, uncover and judge so much deception, evil, wickedness & occultism that has been going on for years in the name of ministry work or 'church'; unbelievable evil, wickedness & occultism covered up with philanthropy and nice/smooth talks by religious figures/heads who walk so gently & holily like they can't even hurt a fly, yet they are ravenous wolves inside. As God has raised his vessels he will use to expose the evil, satan has also raised vessels in the ranks of the church whom he will use to launch serious attack against the vessels God is using to expose the wickedness going on. The wisdom for God's vessels will be not to give attention to the noise & movement hastily initiated by satan to stop the exposure of evil/wickedness i...

A lot of people are concerned about the future, to know what the future holds for them, for their family & loved ones, their nation & the world at large. This concern grows stronger on the turn of a new calendar year as people crave to know what the year will be like. A good number of religious leaders and prognosticators cash in on this, to give a forecast of things/events that will unfold in the year.  Some religious leaders merely adopt nice & appealing themes for the year, declaring that it's the word they received from God for the year. Others go further to dish out what they term "prophecies for the year". This has been the trend for the past 20-25 years; quintessential a 21st century church trend, and younger ones go into ministry following the same trend to ride on it to fame & prominence in ministry. Against the backdrop of this trend, there's need for us to re-evaluate what christianity really is. True christianity is conformity to the image ...

The first temptation which satan threw at Jesus is what he is throwing at God's faithful servants and people through peddlers of the false prosperity gospel, who equate material prosperity to godliness.  One might ask how? Kindly follow me as we briefly consider that which is noted in the scriptures of truth for our learning. The first commandment God gave the first man in the garden of Eden was on what to eat & what not to eat. The temptation was also on the ground of what God had said bordering on food as the serpent said..."Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" (Genesis 3:1). The first temptation satan threw at Jesus(the second man) in the wilderness, where he was driven into by the HolySpirit to be tempted, also borders on food..."if thou be the Son of God, command that these stones may become loaves of bread". But Jesus answering said "It is written, Man shall not love by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds fr...

The Mystery Of Iniquity ( Leaven In Three Measures Of Meal). In Mathew 13:33 the Lord spoke a short parable which is one of the 7 prophetic parables the Lord delivered in Matthew 13, forecasting mysteries that will play out in the kingdom(field of professed christendom/discipleship) & the harvest which is the end of the age. In this short parable of the 33rd verse, the Lord spoke of a woman who took leaven and hid it in three measures of meal, until the whole of it was leavened👇🏼 "He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened." Three measures of meal as in the old testament represents the meal/meat offering to God...an offering of fine flour(See Genesis 18:1-6). Of all the offerings in the book of Leviticus, the meat offering is the one that leaven is forbidden to be mixed with - "No meat offering which ye shall bring unto the Lord shall be made with l...

Many unforeseen dangers & pitfalls that would have been seen & averted, many needs unmet, many pressures & burdens unlifted, all because many ministers/pastors today have hijacked & taken over the place of the HolySpirit(the great comforter & helper) in the lives of God's people; emphasizing & prioritizing the place of a human mentor/guide over a living relationship with the HolySpirit...the awful discipleship & making of a generation of christians bereft of a real/living relationship with that One Spirit, whereby we are brought into the One body. See what great emphasis & value the Lord himself, who is the great shepherd, places on the ministry of the HolySpirit; how so remarkable it is for him who is the great shepherd of the sheep to say it is expedient/profitable for us that he goes away, for if he goes not away the HolySpirit will not come. - John 16:7 Shouldn't the great shepherd of the sheep have continued with us on earth to physically me...

  Where obedience or service to God is compelled by men & not flowing from a willing heart full of love and affection for the Lord, it is unreal and at best an unreasonable obedience/service. The Lord is after winning our hearts first; He does not seek/command service, obedience/loyalty first but seeks to win & flood our hearts with undying love & affection for Himself. True service in unreserved obedience/loyalty, will most spontaneously spring & flow from a heart saturated/filled with affection for the Lord. At the sea of Tiberias where Jesus manifested himself to his disciples the third time following his resurrection, the test he set before them as he engaged Peter, was a test of love/affection for Himself. It's important for us to take note of the order of that which the Lord was seeking at the Sea of Tiberias as he engaged Peter. He did not first say to Peter "feed my sheep" but rather asked these all important and fundamental questions of love: ...

Where there is little or no consciousness/awareness of the Father in heaven, the people professing to be God's people are like children bereft & destitute of true spiritual fatherhood. The phrase "Father in heaven" of course speaks of spiritual fatherhood in it's truest essence for he is a father whom we do not see yet ever present, ever loving & ever caring. The knowledge, awareness & consciousness of the Father in heaven, is so fundamental & absolute to true christian faith & walk upon the earth, that it is exclusively presented by the Lord in Matthew 23:9 as that which excludes every other context of fatherhood upon the earth, whether patriarchal, biological or ministerial.👇🏼 "And call not any one your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens." It is the knowledge of the Father in heaven supremely established in the heart, such that we walk in the consciousness & awareness that ultimately "...

We live in very interesting times in the unfolding of God's prophetic program for the end. Couple of years ago, we received a word from the Lord that the big question many of his people will be asking in an endtime is: What is the difference between the old and new testament, between the old & new covenant, between Israel & the church.  On the heels of the recent Israeli war, there has been an unprecedented focus and concern of christendom on Israel, many have taken to write or speak on Israel.  I've seen writeups about Israel within the past two weeks more than i have in the past two decades, and the shocking revelation is that the assertions i've seen many make about Israel, reveals how so little is truly known of the church and what the church is.    The inability on the part of many to rightly divide the word of the truth of scriptures concerning Israel, her place in bible prophecy, the earthly promises that belong to her, her earthly eternal destiny ...

Do We Tremble At His Word Or Neglect/Trifle With It? On the heels of the exact fulfillment of a prophetic word given to him, Jeremiah in awe of God, prayed thus: "Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for thee".  Jeremiah 32:17. Words uttered in prayer by a prophet who was shut up in prison; shut up for the word/prophecy he had given from the mouth of the Lord, yet he says not this of God as an expression of His absolute power to deliver him from prison, but as an expression of his might in bringing to pass what he has spoken. His obsession and occupation was not with the ugly situation he was in, to be delivered from it, but with the Word of the Lord and how the Lord does not want/lack in power to bring to pass, that which he has spoken. In prayer, he is thus in awe of God's great power to perform his Word...'Ah Lord God! Alas Jehovah"....Here is a man trembling a...

A Very Subtle Fall From First Love - The Foremost Obsession/First Occupation.  The first love, first works & foremost obsession is occupation with the Lord himself; to live/walk in the consciousness of Him, and not engagement with even spiritual activity or ministry.  The ultimate goal of sanctifying & purifying us with the washing of water(the Word) is to present us to himself, that we might be with him where he is(Ephesians 5:25-27 & 1st Thessalonians 5:10). If he is not our foremost occupation how can this ultimate goal be fulfilled?  It's all about a person. It's not about some spiritual activity like prayer, fasting, religious programs, teaching or evangelical outreaches.  Even the most sacred thing & greatest spiritual activity can still be taken up as a thing in itself to furnish a religious quest & devotion, which is not occupation with the Lord himself.  The Jews to whom were committed the lively oracles of God, the sacred Torah/law,...

Does The Lord Really Care? "Casting all your cares on him for he cares for you". - 1st Peter 5:7 (See also Psalm 55:22). Was meditating on this scripture about two months ago and the HolySpirit quickly reminded me of a very testing & shaking experience, which the apostle who delivered these words of encouragement, passed through. It was an immense spiritual crisis which would have wrecked/ruined his faith in God. Peter was so shaken & sifted by satan that he even went as far as openly denying the Lord thrice yet the Lord stood with him & for him, even before the trial, in/through the trial & beyond it. Whilst satan was scheming & plotting to have Peter, to sift the hell out of him & make chaff of him/rubbish his faith, the Lord who sees/knows all things, interceded for him, that his faith fail not. The effect of that intercession was such that he was revived, came out of the test stronger, and became a vessel in the hand of the Lord to strengthen ...

Examining Failed Prophecies, Inaccurate Discernment, Misinterpretation Of Prophetic Revelations & The Will Of God. ( Part 3) With respect to timing in the prophetic, it is very important to know when to speak/share a prophetic word/revelation & when not to. It is one thing to receive a prophetic word/revelation from the Lord, and another to be released of the Lord/given utterance to speak forth the same. In Ephesians 6:18-19, we see Paul writing to the assembly in Ephesus and admonishing them to pray with all perseverance & supplication for all saints and also for him that utterance may be given unto him, to enable him open his mouth boldly, to make known/disclose the mystery of the gospel. This admonition unto prayer, is of course, in the consciousness/awareness of spiritual conflict, having said to them earlier: "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, again...

Examining Failed Prophecies, Inaccurate Discernment, Misinterpretation Of Prophetic Revelations & The Will Of God. (Part 2) 💢 Misinterpretation Of Prophetic Words, Revelations & Timing. It is possible to have a true prophetic revelation or word from God yet grossly misinterpreted & misunderstood by the recipient prophets/people of God. To rightly interpret prophecy, one must first of all know the interrelatedness of prophecy..."we know in part and prophesy in part" thus to see a fuller picture one must be able to relate and compare prophecy with prophecy, and this is one sure way of gaining keener insight, better discernment of God's mind and a proper spiritual interpretation in the prophetic. In dealing with the prophetic word, 2nd Peter 1:20 says " knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of it's own interpretation". "Its own"(idios in the greek) is the literal force of the word here, which the common english versio...

Examining Failed Prophecies, Inaccurate Discernment, Misinterpretation Of Prophetic Revelations & The Will Of God. (Part 1) In the wake of controversies stemming from conflicting & failed prophecies concerning our nation, a good number of people have developed a strong apathy to prophecy; a position which is worse than failure in prophetic discernment & accuracy, and even worse than susceptibility to false prophecies. It was appalling reading some brethren teaching the people of God to focus on scripture and forget/neglect prophecy, as though scripture itself teaches us to despise or keep closed ears to prophecy. Is it not awful to see how in trying to emphasise scripture, we have done so  to the denigration & outright denial of the place of prophecy in the new testament church? Yet scripture says not to despise prophecy, but to prove all things and hold fast to that which is right. How could one be emphasising scripture to the denigration/outright denial of wh...
