He loves orderliness. By His divine order, He has arranged the universe in a way that nothing conflicts with the other. He said in His word, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” He is not a God of confusion. In this respect you must have proper understanding of marriage matters. Go about your marriage in a decent and orderly manner so that the holiness we are preaching and teaching would be practicable among us, especially among the youths and the unmarried amongst us. Are you really desirous of going to heaven? Then, do not allow your hunger and thirst for marriage take away eternal life from you. Be careful, otherwise, you may end up in this hell fire which you have been testifying and warni...

What is the place of miracle aprons and handkerchiefs in the church? These were unique miracles that God did and He did not continue with them, so you don’t ask Him to repeat them. He chooses to do them by Himself. You just tell Him what you want, He can choose what to do. He chose to release those miracles and they may happen once in a generation. Don’t ask Him the second time because He didn’t do it the first time because somebody asked. He revealed His will in them.  Now, let us take a look back. He caused the Red Sea to divide. Will you now start asking the Red Sea to divide again? It is not a promise given to...

I have told you, as far as matters of heaven are concerned, for your individual life, it is better to receive than to give. But if it is matter of money or material things, it is better to give than to receive. In today’s Bible reading, the Macedonian Christians were ready to support Paul, even in their poverty, but they cared first for their souls. They cared first for their spiritual lives. Preachers, including my, must learn to first give ourselves to the Lord. Let us learn to first receive spiritual warmth of the Lord for ourselves. Let us learn to first receive fellowship with the Lord for ourselves, then we can go for preaching. The Macedonian believers were zealous for...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: NOT EVERY MIRACLE IS OF GOD   September Sunday 27th TEXT: Exodus 7:10-12 KEY VERSE: Acts 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one. Some people may want to ask why we say the misuse of anointing oil, holy water, miracle aprons and handkerchiefs etc. are not of God. Are these things not working miracles? Indeed, they can work miracle because it is not only God that works miracle. In today’s reading text, we see that when God sent Moses to Egypt and asked him to throw his rod down to become a serpent, the magicians of Pharaoh also did the same. So, the fact that these waters, handkerchiefs, aprons etc. are working miracles for you does not mean that they are from God.  It depends on which spirit is working the miracles. Is it the spirit of Christ or the devil? If it is of Christ, it sh...

When you first came, the Lord showed you grace, but now, you are giving in to people playing politics in the church. The Lord will clear you off unless you repent. Why are you giving heed to politicians after the grace of God has been shown to you? When you came, the Lord drew you to Himself, but now you have begun to listen to church politicians and trouble-makers.   God told Moses, “Give Me a chance and let Me clear these stubborn people to hell”. Be careful; don’t lose your life! If you fall for Satan, will you rule with him? Are the demons that fell with Satan now enjoying him? It is eternal regret. Wh...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: BE FERVENT IN PRAYER AND FULL OF LOVE September Friday 25th TEXT: 1 John 4:7-11 KEY VERSE: 1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.  The spiritual person loves to pray. He or she prays over everything, always seeking the face of God; walking up and down in deep meditation and prayer. Something is always welling up in him or her to pray. He is always stirred to pray to God for something, to commune with God, to intercede for others. The spiritual man understands that he cannot operate by his own wisdom; he needs God’s leading and guidance at all times. He knows that every matter needs to be handed over to God in order to make a success of it.  He does not take chances. In everything, whether big or small, he desires that God will pilot the affairs of his life. Whether he is moving into a new home, or his changing job or he wants to marry or concerning his ministry, he is always communing with God in prayer to lea...

Elijah challenged the gods of the prophets of Baal to a spiritual battle and said “Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under.”   Elijah was out to prove to the people who had abandoned the true God to follow the prophets of Baal that the God that answers by fire is the true God. He w...

Pray that you won’t see politics in this work or in the choice of leadership. Rather, you will see God and view things with spiritual eye and understand things in a spiritual way. When Korah and his companions rebelled against Moses’ leadership, he was pained. The Lord was the one that said he should separate the children of Levi to serve in the temple and this was precisely what he did. Why then was Korah not satisfied with his divinely ordained role? The Lord gave him this grace and he thought it was a small thing, so he began to look for the priesthood also.  He gathered the mighty but foolish men; m...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: EXAMINE ISSUES PROPERLY BEFORE YOU DEFEND PEOPLE   September Monday 21st TEXT: Numbers 16:1-4 KEY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. In all matters that come to your knowledge, verify what you are told before you act one way or the other. May be it is your child that is misbehaving in school or in the neighbourhood, don’t say, “No, my child cannot do that.” Confirm it first. Also learn to take matters to the Lord in prayer to know the truth.  Do this so that you don’t defend iniquity and become guilty. I want you to see something in today’s devotional reading. Korah, Moses and Aaron were all Levites. Moses, Aaron and Miriam were of the same father and mother.  Moses was the general superintendent of the people. Aaron was the high priest of the people. Mariam was a prophetess. Korah, a Levite was wondering, “Why should one man produce the people that are leading t...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: ARE YOU LOOKING FOR JESUS OR REVELATION?    September Sunday 20th TEXT: Hebrews 12:1-2 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.  What exactly are you looking for? Are you not looking for Jesus? The devil has sprinkled the desire for revelation in the hearts of the people at this end time that this is all they crave for. You are looking for prophecies all the time, but I am counseling you to look for the word. Look for the word of truth, which is what is important for the salvation of your soul. What is important is the holiness of your life, not prophecy. Prophecy only confirms what is already written in scriptures, so face the scripture.  We cannot undermine prophecy because the Lord speaks by prophecy and says we should not despise prophesying, yet He says, “Let the prophets speak by two at most by three, and let another ma...

But I knew God had not finished with him yet. His request became a herculean task for me because I just couldn't think of where to get him a laptop. I tried to persuade him to stop this struggle for life and focus on why we were there. He was showing impatience and regularly checking his time but I continued to admonish him to calm down.  Finally, it was time for Mummy Linda’s message. He listened keenly to the end and I could see there was a change in his countenance. Then I said, “If you still want to leave, you ar...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF HOW GOD ARRESTED MY HUSBAND IN HOREMOW CONFERENCE – Part 1 September Friday 18th TEXT: Psalm 122:1-4 KEY VERSE: Psalm 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?  When I gave my husband the flyer for Pastors’ Convocation held in November 2019, he told me that he was not a pastor. I was surprised, because I knew that despite the persecution that arose in Deeper Life Bible Church concerning my involvement with HOREMOW before I finally left them 3-4 years ago, he was still a worker or leader. So I said, “But you are a church leader or worker.” He said, “I am not.” I then said, “At least you are a believer and it is believers that are gathering, so let's gather with them.” He did not say a word. I did not know that he had been asked to step down as a worker in Deeper Life and he never told me since we have agreed not to discuss church matters to avoid strife....

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: THE FOOD OF A SPIRITUAL PERSON IS THE WORD OF GOD      September Thursday 17th TEXT: Psalm 19:7-11 KEY VERSE: Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.  A spiritual person is given to the word. He studies it and obeys it.  He listens to it because the word is the delight of his life. The food of the spiritual man is the word of God. I received a call from someone who said, “Pastor I am hungry, I am very hungry for the word of God.” May you eat to satisfaction in Jesus name.  Blessed are those that thirst and hunger for righteousness for they shall be filled. Thy word was found and I did eat it, Thy word was in my mouth as honey. That is my pleasure. That is what gives me joy.  I am so happy to find Thy word, I rejoice in Thy word, like someone who has discovered m...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: TESTIMONY  HOW GOD DELIVERED ME FROM THE HANDS OF MY OPPRESSORS September Wednesday 16th TEXT: 1 Peter 3:12-17 KEY VERSE: 2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.  I want to thank God for His faithfulness upon my life and upon the life of my children. I am Sister Blessing; we live in the United Kingdom where the enemy is doing all his best to destroy the lives of young children. On the 3rd of June 2018, an incident occurred that brought the social services into the life of my children. It was a fight that almost led to my children being forcefully taken away from me. I was accused of beating my children, teaching them the way of God and encouraging them to read the Word of God. It was a fight to remove my children from where they can hear the Word of God. It was said that I was following a group of strange people that had strange behaviours. I almost gave up becau...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: FOCUS ON JESUS, NOT MIRACLE SUBSTANCES September Tuesday 15th TEXT: Isaiah 30:1-3 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!  The physical can destroy the spiritual if we become careless. The hunger for miracle has made many people to seek after physical objects of miracle to the destruction of their soul.  Consider aprons and handkerchiefs taken from Paul’s body for miracle, which are now being replicated in many churches. Were these objects also taken from Peter’s body or John’s? It was only Paul in Christian history, not even from Jesus during His earthly ministry. Only in Paul did the Holy Ghost manifest that power for a definite purpose of His, to cause the people to believe in Christ. Handkerchiefs and a...

Where were these men of renown with all the miracles of God in Egypt? They were there! Where were these men of renown with all the miracles of God in the wilderness? They were there! Where were these men when the commandment was given; when the mountain was shaken by the voice of God and the smoke and the burning fire? They were there! But these things never sank into their hearts. Brethren, don’t be here in HOREMOW in vain such that these things h...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: LET THE SPIRIT OF GOD LEAD AND GUIDE YOUR LIFE September Sunday 13th TEXT: Isaiah 48:16-17 KEY VERSE: Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  The spiritual man is guided by the Holy Spirit in all his ways, thoughts, actions, relationships, plans, and in everything about him. Proverbs 15:28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. The spiritual man is saying, “Holy Ghost, how do I answer these people, what do I do; should I go, should I not go?” He is well guided for as many as are led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God. God seeks such to worship him, not the worldly and carnal people. You live on your own, Holy Ghost is not aware. You don’t seek His mind in your relationship with your spouse. You don’t ask God “How do I do it, how do I answer my husband, how do I treat my wife, how do I answer with these attitud...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST IS THE GOSPEL OF FAITH, NOT GOSPEL OF MIRACLE SUBSTANCES     September Friday 11th TEXT: Romans 1:16-17 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.  Without seeing you believe. That is faith! But man wants to see and to touch, and then to turn that which he has seen and touched to an idol, like the brass serpent that Moses made. 2 Kings 18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.  In our day, we see people who have exalted anointing oil above the name of Jesus. They carry it about. Without it, there is no healing, there is no deliverance, there is no breakthrough and there is no protection. Faith has been destro...

Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:  As much as possible, one should listen to both sides for good judgment and understanding.         Acts 25:14-16 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: 15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.  In this text...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: GIVE AN ACCUSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF – Part 1        September Wednesday 9th TEXT: John 7:45-51 KEY VERSE: John 7:51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?  Don’t judge a matter without hearing the person. Don’t conclude without giving the accused person an opportunity to defend himself or to state his own side of the case. In the court of law, every accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Whatever the charges, even if the missing bundle of money is found in his house, he cannot on account of that alone be convicted of stealing because somebody could have planted it on him. Therefore, the court will still consider the person innocent until proven guilty. So, be swift to hear but slow to conclude. Only God can conclude the matter for you in righteousness. In today’s reading text, Nicodemus was telling the Jews when they were judging Jesus, “Doe...

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.  What about having the understanding that you are nothing? You are not looking up to yourself but to God because you realize that you are nothing without Him. God wants this spiritual understanding that you are not counting on your spiritual gifts, but on righteousness and holiness. Though I can move mountains but I do not have love, righteousness and holiness, I am nothing. Though I have power to cast out devils, though I can speak in tongues of angels, if I do not have the righteousness, charity and life of God, I am nothing. This is something you need to understand. Paul said, “That I might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ...

When we talk about revelations, we must be very careful because almost everybody in the church today is now a prophet or prophetess. “The Lord told me, the Lord spoke to me, the Lord revealed to me” is all you hear now. They make themselves prophets of lying wonders, speaking in the spirit of lies and the imaginations of their hearts. They dramatize it in a wonderful way. They even act it out like a movie, how Jesus visited them. They publish it in a way that it looks so real as they say, “The Spirit of the Lord ministered to me…” All the thoughts of their hearts are to make God a liar because when you examine their prophecy with diligence and in the light of scripture, the Lord is not i...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: GOD SEEKS AFTER SPIRITUAL MEN IN WORSHIP AND SERVICE      September Sunday 6th TEXT: Isaiah 1:10-15 KEY VERSE: John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.  The spiritual man is empowered by the Holy Spirit to work for God. He is not doing it by himself. When you start to murmur or complain, it is because you are losing spiritual insight. Moses was complaining that the work load was weighing him down. This was because he didn’t know the magnitude of the power of the Holy Spirit in his life. The Lord said, “Okay take seventy of the elders and I will take of the spirit I put in you and pour it upon them.” You are doing this assignment by the Holy Spirit, so why are you murmuring? It is because you are not seeing things from spiritual perspective. Do you know that the more the work the more ...

A little dead fly in the oil of the apothecary. Sweet oil with good smell, but when people see a dead fly in it, they remove their eyes and hold their noses. Beautiful oil but foul odour! You are not paying attention to your life and folly has come into you. In today’s reading text, Ephraim is described as a cake not turned. Weakness has come upon him. Can you see? How did it happen like that? He mixed himself with wrong people. Why are you having close friends that are not Christians? You are keeping friends who have no Christian vision. You sit down from morning till afternoon, talk and laugh, and talk and laugh, until your strength is gone. After such ...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. TOPIC: SUBMIT TO AUTHORITY September Friday 4th TEXT: 1 Peter 5:5-6 KEY VERSE: Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Submission is a virtue, not a weakness. Don't be proud. Don't look down on anybody. Don't behave like Aaron and Mariam who contended against the leadership of Moses. Don’t be like Korah, Dathan, Abiram and On who contended against the leadership of Moses and Aaron. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:17, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that isunprofitable for you.” God chose to place leaders above you before you were created. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. When you contend against leaders that God has p...

TOPIC: WHILE MEN SLEPT, THE STRANGE SPIRIT OF ANOINTING OIL CREPT INTO THE CHURCH    September Thursday 3rd TEXT: Matthew 13:24-30 KEY VERSE: 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: When you ascribe power to anointing oil and use it to anoint almost everything in the church, house, business premises and even yourself, where did you get it from? It is a strange spirit and since you have added to the word of God, you have given the devil occasion. That is why you have those ordained with anointing oil as fake ministers. They are not preaching the correct thing. What spirit was communicated to them? And this anointing oil, where is it from? How has it become so multiplied? An enemy has done this! It came into the church when men slept. A man sowed good seeds in his field but an enemy came overnight and sowed tares among them. It happened w...

Learn this wisdom that when you hear a matter you will control yourself because you have not really heard the full detail. It is the other side of the mater that will reveal the full picture and give you a perfect understanding of the matter, because the sword is double-edged. You have seen with one edge; you also need to see the other.  In this way, you know within yourself that all you are hearing, all the person is saying to you with all seriousness, persuasion and conviction is only 50% of the matter ...
