IS THERE REALLY POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

A while ago I was listening to Benny Hinn talk about how he watches some people shout the name of Jesus hysterically until they are blue in the face and nothing seems to happen, and aunty Kathryn khulman will whisper "in Jesus name get out" and the demons will shriek and flee. I felt he was speaking my mind. Me sef don wonder am tire, especially as the bible teaches that the name of Jesus is potent, and all knees shall bow at this name, the name that saves, also for God to say anything you ask in Jesus name you will get. so why na?

Then I also realise that we also shout His name for the stupidest reasons. We can call His name several times a day but in worship and adoration. Like if there's turbulence in the air, instead of that vain random 'Jesus' like say na ya houseboy, say 'Jesus you are Lord', that's worshipping Him. ( remember the kid who cried wolf). We have so watered down the name of Jesus, how do we expect it to work for us? Pour plenty water into okro soup and see if it will still be thick.

Something else is we don't want to do the things that God wants us to do but we want His help to subdue issues of life. 

Imagine leaving ya boyfriends house and having 'time' with him then at night spirit husband comes to have his own time with you, then you wake up and start binding him, to where na? In whose name kwa? Ya daytime boyfriend? 

Submit to God and demons will submit to your authority.

John 16:23

NEW YEAR, NEW LOVE..

Love no be easy thing o, it isn't that gooey feeling we feel, butterflies in the tummy etc. It is an action, it is doing thing, not a feeling and as Christians that is what we are meant to exhibit and be known for. 

Someone I know converted to Islam even though at the beginning she was a Christian and he let her go to church. When I asked the reason she converted she said the Muslims showed her more love than the Christians. 

It broke my heart. Not because she's a Muslim now, but because Christians are forgetting that love is what God is.

We are more afraid of thou shall not steal, kill etc but we are forgetting that the law of the New Testament is love your neighbour as you love yourself. 

If you love your neighbour, you won't steal from him, you won't kill him, you won't beat him lower when he's down. For those of us that the way we treated a person has sent them flying to the wrong direction, mercy Lord! 

I think all Christians should read 'The Final Quest'. We will all understand the gimmicks of the devil.

When we see a fellow christian fall, instead of pulling the person up, we talk down on them, those of us that want to form 'good christian' still have a condescending tone in the 'help' we offer. 

A girl has a child outside wedlock, instead of loving that child to ensure there's no reoccurrence, we ostracize the child, of course she will look for comfort elsewhere and most times in the wrong places. How have we helped that situation? Would you like to be helped up or stepped upon when you slip? We should love to the point that unbelievers will begin to question their unbelief.

Even a dog likes where he's being loved and cared for.  I intend to show more love this year, to the lovable and unlovable, because I know I am unlovable to some people as well.

Love is a habit, cultivate it.

What's your code of conduct as a Christian? 

Happy new year people. Lets make sure we give quality Christianity back to God as He has given us 2015.

John 13:34-35, Matthew 5:43-47

STILL ON THE PROCESS..

We are Meant to be Gods silver.

You see the fire can get really fiery so the impurities can rise to the top and these are the issues in our lives, disappointments etc. He skims them off, purifying us, refining us,

Different fires will come and go, but it isn't to mar us, it is to refine us in that area of our lives.

When we become born again at first, He may see a dim image of Himself but as times goes on, His image becomes clearer and more beautiful. He tests and builds our faith, showing us how far we have come, where adjustments need to be made. He perfects our perserverance. Then He gave us the bible to show us how to go about it. He will give exam then give expo. That's when He can call you good and faithful servant when you have come out refined, that's when you can call on. Him and He will deliver you.

 Zechariah 13:9

Then He told me some more things, This same fire that produced refined silver can also produce reprobate silver. When we resist and ruin His refining process. No matter how the fire burns, the wickedness and hardness and impurities are not released and removed, we stubbornly cling to our ways 'that's just the way I am', ' I naturally have a temper', 'I say it as I see it', 'in my family we are proud', 'I could not take it anymore' etc. 

so the silver becomes rejected. 

Jeremiah 6:29-30

God will send several fires for your own sake but when we refuse to let go, He will set us aside and call us rejected silver o. We are terms useless to Him, He won't kill you but He will not use you for His work. You become a Sunday Sunday chair warmer.

Imagine that you have been called by God but because of pride, hard hearted ness and selfish ambitions God says He cannot use you? Or gives someone else the duty meant for you.

The fire is for your good and His glory and it is a matter of urgency. 

Father help me not to forget the assignment you placed in my hands, let me come out shining, better than I went in, help me not to repeat the exam, let no one take my place, the fire not and I no go like enter again. Ehn!

Sheila, when God wants to bless you ehn, it will pour like heavy rain wey person no fit see road. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Pastor O and Pastor Stella, God bless you for not giving up on me, for realigning my brain. E wan shake before.

THE PROCESS..

You know when you hear something many times and because you have no direct contact with it, it won't make sense to you. Or when a prophesy comes that you will be called blessed among women, or the greatest in your family, you think it will just stroll in the next day. 

News flash! There's a PROCESS. Ask uncle Joseph in the bible, ask Mary (Jesus mama).

That process 99.9% of the time! it isn't palatable, but for the end game they bore.

In the last three weeks, 2 different people have told me that God said He's with me, I should not be afraid and I'd laugh soon. Then I had a dream receiving instructions, when I woke up, I only remember 'go ahead, I am with you in this' but there was a long conversation. (Emi Mimo will bring it to rememberance no worry),

A few days ago, Emi Mimo ( the Holy Spirit) sent me on a research on how silver is refined, then I came across a video, then a book. It blew my mind.

First of all the refiner sees the lump of ore, studies it closely under the sun, when he sees the streaks of shine under the sun, with his experienced eye, (becoming saved)he sees that silver is mixed in it. He takes it to his table, crushes it under his hammer ( breaking process). While at this, he put his fire up, getting the right temperature. When he's sure of the temperature, he puts the pieces of broken ore into the fire and watches impurities come off the top, he skims them off, repeating the skimming till  he sees the shine.

Now the thing that struck me was that he never ever takes his attention off the ore. He doesn't want it marred. He has control over the fire. So no need to ask God if He's there when the times get tough. His eyes are on us.

He has 'choice ' silver, the most lustrous of all metals, beautiful and highly valued. Worthy to become a coin or a trumpet or ornament, worthy to grace tHe kings table, finger or reflect the sun on his crown. The refiner has taken what was impure and made it pure, potential value has become actual value, and the fire, the guarded, guided fire made the difference. The fire allowed ordinary ore from the earth to be transformed into treasure...

ONE OTHER BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH ANOINTING...

It isn't their birthdays but I think I didn't write about them on their birthdays because I probably had internet issues then.

I grew up in a home with only 2 sisters and they are way older so I didn't know how sisters around your age relate.

I'd met one of this my sisters before, in a friends house. Had a few mutual friends but we were never friends. The day I saw her in a house fellowship, I was surprised as I was just entering the love of Jesus myself, I didn't know I was meeting with destiny, I didn't know I was meeting the kindest, most generous soul ever. I didn't know God was preparing sisters for me.

We started to say hey to each other, she got married a few months after I did and one day called me to say we should come together to pray for our husbands and children once a week, I jumped at the idea. She offered her home, and that's how her home became our altar. 

Excellent home maker, intercessory minister, gifted with an awesome dream life, very kind, very generous, teachable,people gatherer, she may appear crazy but very sane and grounded in Jesus. 

Sometimes after scaring the devil to a corner, we would fill our stomachs with her excellent cooking skills (after all na pro cook she be). When the rest of us are slacking in Monday prayers, she's our class prefect to beat us back in shape, she fit dey do say she no really wan pray but she spits fire in the word as well, the one who taught me how to use my iPad for my blog. 

Devil wanted to use us for evil but here we are. Doing the work of the master in our little corner.

Gina Agbukor if I never appreciated you before now, I want you to know that I love you very much.

God bless you, increase you, your husband is respected at the gate, my omah is blessed. Every seed you have ever sowed in kindness will come back to you in hundred folds. Men will favour you, 2015 will favour you, men will favour your husband, your husband will love you like Christ loves the church. You will fulfil destiny.

ANOTHER FINE GIRL WITH ANOINTING..

We are taking over the world, whether the world likes it or not. 

When I first saw her, I first thought of how to use her as my face model to do a photoshoot for my make up studio, pretty face, perfect teeth. I didn't realise I had just met one of the people who will hold my hand in my trying times, I didn't know I had just met with destiny.

Somehow, as deep calleth unto deep, I asked her to join our prayer network of young women in young marriages. She agreed and I am soooooo glad I responded to the nudging of the Holy Spirit. 

I've known her for a little over one year but I feel like she's been in my life for years. I am so sure if we had met before Jesus found us, we would still have been good friends. 

Prayer machine, Jehu anointing carrier, 'bulldozer' according to Faith Gande, Amazingly kind soul

 ( thought she was faking too ) very selfless, many times she will be giving her all to you with so much excitement, you'd swear she has so much stashed somewhere.

I've learnt not to take any relationship for granted, being friends with You has made me understand the true meaning of love, through your character I understand patience and endurance. You give me strength in ways you can never understand, the one I can tell anything on the face of the earth and won't judge me. The one I can let see my most embarrassing moments and we would laugh through it.

Relentless, stubborn in the right direction.  Quick to follow the leading of God, stands by her own no matter what.

With you Beatrice I have learnt it isn't about who has been around you the longest.

With you I feel like a very funny person because everything i say makes her laugh. We may fight, but we become better sisters for it.

You know that friend that you tell each other the bitter truth, you fight, then cry, then hug each other and laugh at your stupidity? That's Beatrice for me! 

For all the opportunities you have lost in this life, Heaven won't rest till it delivers them into your hands. You won't fail God, the assignments He has given you will be completed, you will pass them excellently, anyone on the face of the earth who has ever mocked you, will celebrate you, they will be the carriers of the good news, God will honour you and your husband. Elevate you, children will surround your table, joy will overflow in your life, God bless you.

Step into your season of favour, fruitfulness and joy.

Happy Birthday my sister, my prayer partner, the one who sits at drivers seat while I drive her (imagine o), my partner in tins, my friend, my meat loving partner, my coke buddy, my do as u do person, most of all my ' friendship mi'... Love you big babay!

YET ANOTHER FINE GIRL WITH ANOINTING..

Told you we are taking over. Hehehehehe

This one is who I call our last born. When she first came to join WWP protocol department, she appeared so shy and fragile we were not sure how to post her to work. So when the pastors asked for a few people to work with them, we just sent her and someone else, and she showed strengths in ways I can't describe.  Somehow she has become one of the few in wwp I have become attached to, I'd never forget a few things you have adviced me on. I'd hold them for a long time. Will never leave you without a kind word, gesture or prayer. (As pastor o pikin u no get choice)

Very sweet, caring yet fearless person. She will state her case softly but very firmly. Solid person to have on your side.

Pastor O's personal baby, our last born.

Happy birthday my Dolapo Osewa, I wish I could buy you the world today but I can't afford it yet.

God bless you my aburo as I call you, May He honour you, where you are now, is the least you will ever be. As you were born in this season of celebration, May celebration never cease from your life, may favour follow you. May your love for the things of God never go cold. You will marry well, the wrong man will not see you, you will be a light to very one you come across.

I love you dolapo to the moon and Jupiter and back babay.
