*Don't Align Yourself with Negativity through Your Words*

As inhabitants of Zion, we are called to speak life and not death. Isaiah 33:24 declares, "The inhabitant of Zion shall not say, 'I am sick,' for the people who dwell there shall be forgiven their iniquity."

Hebrews 12:22 reminds us that we have already come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God. Therefore, we are currently dwelling in Zion.

As Zion's inhabitants, we must be mindful of our words. We should not affirm negativity, such as sickness, weakness, poverty, or hardship, with our mouths. Instead, we should speak what we desire to see, even when circumstances seem to contradict it.

Let's declare strength, health, prosperity, and breakthroughs, even in the face of weakness, infirmity, or adversity. Remember, our words are spirit and life, and they have the power to shape our realities.

Imagine if everything you said about yourself came true right now. Let's speak positively and watch our words become our experiences.

God bless you.

*ARE YOU A BELIEVER THAT DO YOU BELIEVE?*

The gospel is the power of God unleashed when believed.

Tragically, many who claim to be believers don't truly believe in the gospel's transformative power.

To them, it's merely a religious text with a positive tone, lacking the force to change their lives. As a result, the gospel has no impact on them.

They can listen to messages on healing yet still rely on drugs, hear teachings on forgiveness yet refuse to forgive, or learn about God's providence yet still worry about lack.

There's no difference between those who hear the gospel and don't believe, and those who never hear it.

Romans 1:16 reminds us that the gospel is not mere philosophy, but the doctrine of God's power, effective only when believed.

When ignored or disbelieved, it becomes just another doctrine or dogma, a topic for debate. May God bless you.

*HINDERED BY PHOBIA*

Mary and Jane were advised to learn a survival skill during their holiday.

As they pondered which skill to learn, someone suggested swimming. Mary exclaimed, "God forbid!"

When asked why she reacted that way, she remained silent but was clearly opposed to learning how to swim.

Years later, Mary and Jane were kidnapped along with others.

During their escape, they came across a chest-deep river that needed to be crossed to reach safety.

Everyone jumped in, but Mary refused to even step into the river. Despite the others' pleas, she wouldn't attempt it. Unfortunately, Mary was recaptured while the others escaped.

Jane was grateful for learning how to swim, while Mary regretted allowing her water phobia to hinder her.

Many people suffer because the only path to freedom leads through a phobia.

Learn to face your fears, as they may one day stand against you when the cost could be your life.

Identify your fears, seek help, and deal with them.

Ensure your fears don't hinder you from doing valuable things.

Remember, God has given us a spirit of boldness and sound mind, not fear.

As 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) says:
*"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."*

If you have fears, seek help now.

God bless you,

*GIVING TO THE POOR VS GIVING TO THE GOSPEL*

Is giving money to the poor more noble than giving to Christ?

A woman broke her alabaster oil to anoint Jesus, but the disciples were indignant, thinking it would be more noble to sell the oil and give the proceeds to the poor.

After all, the Bible teaches that giving to the poor is like lending to the Lord, and God will reward it (Proverbs 19:17).

However, Jesus replied in Matthew 26:11 (NKJV), "For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always."

This highlights that while we'll always have opportunities to give to the poor, our chance to give to Christ is limited.

When we give food to the poor, we save them for a few days, but when we give them the gospel, we save them for eternity.

The gospel also has the power to feed them.

The devil wants us to focus on giving to the poor instead of giving to the gospel because he knows that the gospel is of greater service to the salvation of the poor.

Jesus came to preach to the poor because the gospel is a better gift.

Don't believe the lie that giving food to the poor is better than giving the gospel.

If giving food was better, Christ would not have been anointed to preach to the poor, he would had come with food for the poor.

Jesus also gave food but while they were listening to the gospel.

Give food while they are listening to the gospel

God bless you,

Be a man of Conviction

*BE A MAN OF CONVICTION*

If you're not, here are some telltale signs:

- You buy things because others are buying them, not because you need them.
- You attend meetings not on time, but when you think others will be arriving.
- You wait for others to take action before joining in.
- You're uncomfortable doing things alone, needing others to validate your actions rather than being driven by your own conviction.

Being a man of conviction means standing by your beliefs and values, even when it's hard or unpopular. It means making decisions based on what you truly believe in, not just following the crowd."

*Interpreting Visions and Dreams through the Lens of God's Word"*

"When you receive a vision or dream but are unfamiliar with the Word of God, it can be challenging to interpret its meaning. Many people have misinterpreted their visions and dreams, leading to harmful consequences, such as unjustly hating those they are meant to love.

This often occurs when someone shares a vision that they believe is from God, warning them to avoid certain individuals who may bring harm.

However, it is essential to remember that ignorance of God's Word can lead to misinterpretation.

If you are not well-versed in scripture, it is crucial to seek guidance before attempting to explain dreams and visions.

The Word of God is the ultimate authority in determining whether a dream or vision is a genuine message from Him. It is also the key to accurate interpretation.

May God bless you as you seek to understand His messages through visions and dreams.

*THE MIND*

The Jewish teachings emphasized the importance of washing one's hands before eating to avoid defilement, which means being made unfit, unholy, reduced, demoted, brought low, or made unworthy. They also believed that consuming certain unclean foods had the same effect.

However, Jesus challenged these teachings, pointing out that food passes through the stomach and is excreted, so it doesn't defile a person, regardless of whether it's considered unclean or eaten with unwashed hands.

Instead, Jesus taught that what truly defiles a person are the thoughts and imaginations in their heart and mind. A person's character is shaped by the thoughts and imaginations they allow to dwell within.

However, the devil often distracts us from focusing on our thoughts and imaginations, leading us to prioritize physical things that have no bearing on our true reality.

A vivid illustration of this is the story of a young boy who fractured his right leg while playing football. When taken to a doctor, he presented his left leg for treatment, and the doctor massaged and treated the wrong leg.

The boy pretended to make progress, but it was only later that his parents realized the mistake. By then, the right leg had become deformed.

Similarly, if we fail to focus on our minds and thoughts, we risk treating the wrong 'leg' and neglecting what truly determines our realities.

Let us recognize the importance of examining our thoughts and imaginations to understand what truly defiles and shapes our lives.

*THE GREAT STYLE OF DECEPTION*

"One of the most significant lies the devil uses to deceive us into sin is to encourage us to pray for exemption from the consequences of our sinful actions.

For instance, if you're tempted to fornicate, the devil may whisper, 'Pray that you don't contract an STI.' Or, if you're considering stealing, the devil may suggest, 'Pray that you don't get caught.'

This tactic is designed to alleviate your fears about facing the consequences of your sins, rather than encouraging you to refrain from sinning altogether.

Many people fall into this trap, praying against the consequences of their untransformed lives instead of seeking transformation.

They pray for mercy, not because they want to quit sinning, but because they want to continue sinning without repercussions. This is a grave deception.

God's desire for us is to repent and turn away from sin.

In John 8:11, Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, 'Go and sin no more, lest worse things come upon you.' We need to heed this warning and strive to sin no more. Rather than constantly praying to escape the consequences of our sinful choices, we should be praying for sanctification and a transformed life.

May God bless you and guide you on this journey towards righteousness.

*It Begins With Us*

We preach grace so fervently, yet struggle to show it to others.

We're quick to repay evil for evil, but expect grace and mercy for our own shortcomings and wicked acts.

We yearn for love and affection, yet barely show it to others.

We demand that promises made to us be kept, while ignoring the countless promises we've made to others.

Let us remember that the golden rule is to do unto others as we would have them do unto us - that's the essence of the law and the prophets.

Before we condemn the wickedness in the world, let us first examine our own hearts and actions.

Change begins with us, and love starts in our own hearts.

God bless you.

*DREAMS AND THE WORD*

"Many people pay more attention to their dreams, seeking to understand their meaning, than they do to the Word of God.

This tendency is common among those who have little or no respect for God's Word.

They believe in the potency of their dreams more than the power of God's Word.

These individuals are easily swayed by dreams and visions, making them vulnerable to the devil's manipulation.

Don't be like them.

May God bless you.

*HELP COMES WITH KNOWLEDGE*

When God wants to send you help, He sends you knowledge.

If you reject knowledge, you have rejected your help.

Anyone who doesn't read has limited the amount of help he or she will receive from God.

Have you wondered why you struggle to read?

Why are you so reluctant to buy books that will help your faith and fill your mind with ideas?

Have you also noticed that you quickly read romantic novels, stories of celebrities, and sports digests—things that won't boost your faith or fill your mind with ideas that will elevate you in life?

God rejects people who reject knowledge. (See Hosea 4:6)

Buy books and read.

Fight that reluctance to read.

God bless you.

*ONE KEY QUALITY OF A SUCCESSFUL MAN*

If you ask me, my answer is simple: a successful man values time. He keeps to his schedule and doesn't let sleep steal his time. When he sets a wake-up time, he sticks to it and is fully alert when he rises. He also honors his appointments, arriving on time for every commitment he's made.

If someone can respect time, they understand the value of everything else.

In fact, the first sign of a disrespectful person is someone who doesn't keep their appointments with others.

This shows they don't even keep their promises to themselves.

Timing is everything, and only those who prioritize time will achieve success in life.

_Remember:_

- Keep your appointment with yourself: do what you've promised to do.
- Keep your appointment with others: show up on time.
- Keep your appointment with God: God doesn't tolerate those who don't honor their vows.

God bless you,

*The Life Span of a Fowl*

The life span of a fowl is between 10-15 years.

However, when a fowl is domesticated, its lifespan is significantly reduced to between 6-24 months.

Although domesticated fowls are larger and have better accommodations, access to food, and medical treatment when sick, their lifespan remains short - between 6 months to 2 years.

The reason for this is simple: the person caring for them is ultimately raising them to be consumed or sold to someone else for consumption.

This serves as a valuable lesson for believers not to envy unbelievers who may seem to have more material blessings, as the devil is only feeding them to ultimately devour them.

The lifespan of a thief, scammer, male or female pr******te, or any sinner, is short. Moreover, their eternity is a terrifying damnation.

May God bless you.

*The Power of Prayer: Understanding Answered Prayer*

When you pray for someone and don't receive a vision or prophetic word concerning that person, it doesn't mean the prayer wasn't answered.

Just because a man of God doesn't say, 'I see this and that, God said this and that' after praying for you, it doesn't mean the prayer wasn't answered.

Dear man of God, don't feel pressured to see or hear something that God hasn't revealed.

What's required for an answered prayer is a honest request, backed by scriptures

A diligent prayer in line with God's Word, and

An agreement between the one being prayed for and the one praying.

This agreement is affirmed with the word 'Amen'.

*And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."* 1 John 5:14-15

When we pray according to His will, He hears us. Glory!

God bless you.

*NEW MONTH MESSAGE*

"Many professed believers have elevated their problems above godly guidance. When you share scriptural wisdom with them, they respond, 'Pastor, you won't understand.'

They've magnified their issues above prayer and the power of Jesus' name.

In their minds, they think, 'If only the pastor understood my situation, he wouldn't just quote scriptures and say "in Jesus' name".'

This mindset prevents them from receiving help.

They've idolized their problems, worshiping their struggles instead of seeking divine solutions.

They speak highly of their issues and downplay the promises of God and the power in Jesus' name.

As you step into the second half of the year, remember not to idolize your problems.

You're not facing anything others haven't overcome.

Every problem on earth has a solution in God's Word.

God bless you. -

*WHY DO YOU COME TO JESUS?*

Ten people came to Jesus first because they needed healing (see Luke 17:11-19).

Only one returned to give thanks. Worship is about giving thanks.

Sadly, many Christians today are like the nine lepers who only wanted to benefit from God's generosity without returning to worship Him.

God desires our worship, it's His will for all mankind.

However, many seek God only to exploit His power and generosity, not to worship Him.

They choose churches based on where God's generosity is most evident, not where His worship is most evident.

This is why the devil has succeeded in deceiving them with fake miracles.

Do you truly want to worship?

If God answers your prayers and shows you His generosity, will you return to worship Him?
God bless you!

*GOD DOESN'T DELAY*

"When you pray and don't get results, remember that Jesus said, 'Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find' (Matthew 7:7-8).

It's not that God is delayed, but rather that you may not be ready.

Some of the things we pray for require us to be honest, diligent, studious, evangelical, prayerful, repentant, forgiving, and deliberately obedient to the Word of God etc.

God doesn't delay in answering, and your problem isn't too big for Him to handle.

However, you may need to be transformed by the Word to be able to enjoy the blessings that come with it.

*GOD IS NOT AT FAULT, YOU ARE*

A lady messaged me, reminding me that she had been healed of an infection in her private area several months prior.

She recalled how I had assured her that her healing was permanent.

However, she revealed that the infection had returned, contradicting the word of God that her healing was permanent. "It's not permanent as you preached," she emphasized. "And it's not healing again even after I prayed."

I responded, "If it came back, it's because you went back to the life that caused it before, and it caused it again." She paused, became moody, and admitted that it was true.

She blamed economic hardship for her return to prostitution, which had initially caused the infection. After being healed, she went back to that life, and the infection returned.

God's word is yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20). If the word hasn't produced results in your life, the fault is yours, not God's.

His word is consistent. When you commit to His word, you will experience the miraculous.

Let God be true (Romans 3:4).

You haven't truly believed, repented, obeyed the scriptures, or accepted that the gospel is powerful enough to work miracles in your life.

That's why you haven't gotten results.

God bless you.

*WHAT DOES GOD KNOW ABOUT YOU?*

God didn't make you who you are; what you prioritize daily has made you who you are.

If you want to be the best God wants you to be, you must prioritize His kingdom.

Many children who don't know God are the product of their parents' misplaced priorities.

God said of Abraham in Genesis 18:19, " *For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him."*

God knew Abraham would train his children well and command them, along with his household, to serve God.

Everyone under your authority must be commanded to serve God, not just taught to serve Him, but commanded.


Some blessings will be released only after you start commanding your household to serve God

God bless you!

*ATMOSPHERE FOR MIRACLE*

"Righteousness, peace, and joy are the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit. If you are unrighteous, peaceless, and bitter, you have created an atmosphere that the devil can exploit. No wonder many face numerous unending challenges.

If you live in sin, you are constantly managing guilt and taking actions that require disregarding the Holy Spirit's guidance. This creates an atmosphere where the devil can torment you.

If you are unforgiving, you are at odds with others, quarreling and lacking peace with several people. This creates an atmosphere where the devil can torment you.

If you are bitter, your heart remains sad, either due to circumstances or refusing to listen to the Holy Spirit's direction to forgive, forget, and be thankful in all things. This gives the devil the key to wreak havoc in your life.

Righteousness, peace, and joy are the atmosphere where miracles happen. If you don't create this atmosphere, you may pray and fast for a miracle, but none will occur.

God bless you!

*FATHER'S DAY INSPIRATION*
_The story of Mr Richard the father of the Serenas_

In 1980, Richard watched a tennis tournament on TV where a Romanian player received a $40,000 check, shocking him as it exceeded his annual salary.

He envisioned his future daughters playing tennis, despite knowing nothing about the sport and lacking the means to fund their training.

Over the next five years, Richard studied tennis through magazines and videos, teaching himself to play.

When his daughters were born, he began coaching them, using borrowed equipment and collecting used tennis balls from country clubs.

Richard faced numerous challenges, including harassment from local gangs, which once left him severely injured.

Despite the obstacles, he remained determined and protective of his daughters. As they excelled in tennis, they faced racism and bigotry, but Richard instilled in them the strength to overcome these challenges.

Years later, Richard watched his daughters, Venus and Serena Williams, achieve unprecedented success in tennis, winning numerous Grand Slam titles. Their journey inspired countless people worldwide, demonstrating the power of resilience, hard work, and faith. Richard's story serves as a testament to the idea that if a man will stand up and take responsibility for his children, they'll shine and blossom

A father is the man who has stood as Mr Richard over his children.

To such men we say

Happy Father's Day

"When someone responds spontaneously to your needs, and later, in the heat of a quarrel, you say, 'I never begged you to help me,' you've successfully pushed away a destiny helper from your life.

*THE ANGEL'S ADVICE TO JOHN*

John had an encounter with a divine angel who revealed that Jesus is coming soon. After sharing several truths, the angel advised him in Revelation 22:10 (KJV), *"And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand."*

In essence, the angel urged John to proclaim the prophecy, which is the return of Jesus Christ.

The angel's message was clear: don't remain silent; share the truth with others. Unfortunately, many of us know this truth but fail to share it with those around us.

Our colleagues, neighbors, and even friends may not know that we are believers or that we are prepared for the rapture because we have kept quiet.

The angel's admonition to John is also a reminder to us today: don't seal your lips.

Share the good news that Christ is coming soon! May God bless you.
