WISDOM! AND WHAT ABOUT IT?...

Beloved in Christ,

Have you pondered for once, why wisdom is the key to success in life? Here is it; But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere, James 3:17 (NIV).

And Jesus Christ is the power and wisdom of God, therefore, embrace wisdom and be saved from sin and destruction because that is the only assurance for our preservation and the principal thing too.

ENEMIES OF EFFECTIVE PRAYER LIFE...

Beloved in Christ,

I hope you still remember that a prayerless Christian, is a powerless Christian. A powerless Christian cannot overcome satan and its devils... but by the grace of God we shall overcome them, Amen. The door to greatness in life has been opened to me and you. It is wide open in front of us, it behoves on us to knock satan off the door, and then go in to possess our possessions. Do you understand?

As we know, satan will always come up with different schemes to stop us. Satan cannot just fold its hands and allow good things reach God's people. It is always moving to and fro, looking for who to devour. It doesn't like us being at peace with our God, hence it tries to fickle our prayer life down to a zero point, using the following tactics:

Sleep: A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest; So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man, Proverbs 24:33-34; someone might be wondering... does it mean one will not sleep? No, one will sleep but Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread, Proverbs 20:13.

Heart: never allow the adversaries sow bad seeds in your heart, such as, bitterness, greed, jealousy, and so on. These things can weigh you down and prevent you from reaching your God through prayer. You can only do good to yourself and others when your heart is merry. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of, Luke 6:45 (NIV).

Foot: let God guide and direct your steps at all times. The Book of Ecclesiastes tells us that there is time for everything under the earth. Don't be found in a pub, when you should be found in the Church. If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; Isaiah 58:13-14a.

Mouth: avoid speaking stench words that may hurt and maim others. Your mouth should be used to bless and not to curse. Use your mouth to pray for others/yourself and not gossip, slander or blackmail them. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers, Ephesians 4:29.

Eyes: pray God to open your eyes to see wonderful things and not lustful things. To see the poor in your locality and pray for their needs to be met by God... and to even see how to help meet their needs as much as God puts into your hand. Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law, Psalms 119:18.

Food: just learn to weigh your intake balance properly, in such a manner that will permit you to be lively, up and doing. Do everything in moderation. So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God, 1 Corinthians 10:31.

All believers have common adversaries which are satan and its devils. Do not let their tactics work in your life. Let us brace up and pray always!

Remain blessed.

Your beloved sister,

Ifeoma.

HOW TO GAIN CHEAP FORGIVENESS...

Beloved in Christ, 

Have you been wondering within you, thinking how all these sins you have committed against God and humanity in the past, could be forgiven you? And just like that? Yes, it is possible. Our Lord and Creator is a merciful God. Just read and follow strictly the following tips:

Be open to God: do not be ashamed to confess your sins before the Almighty God. He knows that you have committed such a sin. But He will always be patient with us to come before Him acknowledging and confessing our sins to Him. Just as King David, always did whenever, he realised he had sinned against God. He opened up to Nathan (2 Samuel 12:13), acknowledged his sins and thereafter, literally poured out his contrite and broken spirit unto God. A contrite and broken spirit God cannot despise, David knew it hence Psalms 51. He further said that, if I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear, Psalms 66:18. David was always quite on point each time he sinned against God. No wonder, God called him a man after His own heart.

Forgive yourself and others: permit me to quote Katherine Ponder, "Remember, you don't forgive others for their sake but you forgive them for your sake." It is not a coerced forgiveness but the kind that comes right from the heart. The kind that makes your heart feel light and becomes joyous. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you, Ephesians 4:32.

Say never again: make a vow to yourself and God, never to commit sin again. It is not just saying it, commit your whole being into it using the word of God. That is the Sword for overcoming temptations and sin. After all, what shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! Romans 6:1-2a.

Remain blessed.

INCREASE YOUR FAITH IN GOD

It is far better to believe in our Lord God and His Prophets, than in any other thing, 2 Chronicles 20:20. From right, left and centre, that is just the way to go. The Bible is so clear about it. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV). 

We can therefore, increase our faith in God thus:
Hearing the word; first and foremost, listen and hear the word. That is the first step to take. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17.

Reading the word; reading a thing gives one an understanding of that thing, especially when read from the heart. In the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem, Daniel 9:2. The word of God is the Holy Bible. There are also many christian books written by anointed  servants of God, you can read in addition to the Bible.

Meditating on the word; this entails thinking in and in, into the word of God, up to that point that faith in God will be produced in your entire spirit being. This Book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success, Joshua 1:8.

Acting the word; after you have accomplished the first three factors, take a break to putting them into action. It is possible. If some anointed men of God in our midst, in this present time, can do signs and wonders, we too can. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says, Mark 11:23.

So then, beloved, get soaked and saturated in the word of our Father in heaven, eat it, drink it, breathe it, sleep it, wake it... and by so doing, your faith in God will surely increase.

Remain blessed,

Your beloved sister,

Ifeoma.

DROP THEM, YOU OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER...

Beloved in Christ, 

How has your attitude been in your society? Well! I don't know how you have behaved in your society, to your friends and family members or how they had responded to your attitude either. But from the word of God, I do know you can still make amends and not be shaken. 

Do you walk cruelly and work unrighteous? Do you tell lies? Do you gossip? Do you hurt your neighbour? Do you not keep your word or agreements reached? Do you lend your money with excessive interest (usury)? Do you accept brides against the innocent?

Drop them if, you are certain, you would like to dwell in God's sacred tent, as well as live on His holy mountain (God's presence) and never be shaken. Read what the Bible tells us; Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from the heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken. Psalm 15:1-5 (NIV)

Remain blessed.

Ifeoma
