THINK ABOUT IT

 Demon possession is rampant in the land! As sin increase in the land so does the power of Satan. Matter of fact the increase of sexual sin is evidence of the increase of demonic power and activities in the land. Before Christ came the first time, Satan was displaying his cruel power through increase possession of human beings. Satan and his devils took direct controlled of the bodies of human beings, made in the image of God. The people at the time recognized these activities as demonic possession and Christ Himself declared that many of these illnesses were direct demonic possession and cast the devils out of those brought to Him.  We are now unaware of demon possession for the most part in the western world 🌎 because of the glare of modern science. Modern science is solely focused on material explanations for everything and thus by definition become blinded 🙈 to spiritual realities. So now many forms of demon possession are simply explained away as mental health issues and the per

In many ancient cultures sexual immorality was associated with worship of the gods. Temple prostitution was rampant. Yes you heard right, temple prostitution. Oh you didn't know that sex was a part of worship ? When you have sexual intercourse with your spouse you are honoring God, you are glorifying His name because you are fulfilling a purpose of creation. Sex was created by God and is one of His many blessings to the human race.  Sex give us the power to procreate, but God put constraints on our use of it.  God decreed that only in marriage we should enjoy the blessings of sexual intimacy God also gave us sex as a mean to populate the earth with godly offspring (Malachi 2:15). Children are a heritage of the Lord. In the sexual acts, husband and wife become physically vulnerable to each other which is an expression of love. Love doesn't abuse one another, love protects, love guard. Sex is such a precious gift 🎁 that a man is supposed to receive it from a woman only after he

 The question is not whether God loves us, the cross clearly reveals the love of God for us. In no other religion on the planet do we find a god dying for his creatures. The gods of the nations requires sacrifices from their servants but they will not sacrifice themselves for their sakes. It is only in Jesus we see the true God revealed. The Lord Jesus who is one with God left heaven, left His glory with the Father and came down to us. He humbled Himself as a man and went through untold sufferings at our hands. Imagine that ! The Creator of the universe, the God of all the earth being spat on, mocked, beaten, having His beard pulled, His back ripped open and bleeding, nailed to a cruel cross. The Lord Jesus Christ went through infinite humiliation and untold sufferings to make a way for me and you. Why did He do all this? Couldn't He wipe out the whole human race and created another race of beings from scratch? I mean wouldn't you do that if you had His power? Jesus did all tha

 Spiritualism according to the online dictionary is "a system of belief or religious practice based on supposed communication with the spirits of the dead, especially through medium." If you are a Bible student, you know that " the dead know nothing." Ecclesiastes 9:5. But you will also know that demonic spirits can impersonate the dead. Satan can take other forms to speak to us. The first recorded act of spiritualism happened in the garden of eden, when the Devil used the serpent 🐍 as a medium to speak to Eve and entice her into sin. Spiritualism is effective because those who do not take heed to the Word of God will fall easy prey to it. Satan can take the form of their departed loved ones. Satan can take the forms of departed loved one and speak to us if God allows it. Those who believe the dead are in heaven will fall easy prey to such deception. Again, the dead are not in heaven, they are in the grave awaiting the resurrection. Satan has been using all sorts o

  God is good and His law perfect. The laws of God promote righteousness, peace and happiness. But we have an enemy who hates God, hates us and who make it his priority to destroy our happiness and spread misery, but he must do it in a way to make evil seems good, to make misery seems like joy. He must change our perspective on reality and make us love the evil and hate the good. Satan is a crafty, clever  being and is using is cleverness to promote wickedness masked as goodness. Once God's law is rejected, then evil becomes the way of life. But in order for evil to have widespread reach it must be presented as good. So how does evil spread in society? Let's look at the "age of consent " for sex and "safe sex." God says that sex is only safe when it is done in marriage between a loving husband and a wife. But wicked men inspired by Satan comes along and deceives society by teaching that "safe sex" is done when one uses condoms. As a result, the law

 God hates pride. It was pride that caused Lucifer to rebelled in heaven. It is pride that causes so many problems in our relationships. "Pride is a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in conduct." Proverbs 8:13, "To fear the Lord is to hate evil: I hate pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate. Pride, wherever it is found causes strife, division and chaos.  The very nature of human conflict  is rooted in elements of pride. The problem is we all have a pride problem and this the reason we all have conflicts in relationships Pride is all about self centeredness. You only think about what is good for yourself, even at the expense of God and others. Another way pride display itself is through low self esteem. Notice it is low "self esteem." Again it is a preoccupation with the self. Its all about me. The Devil doesn't fall in that cate

 Life is about relationships. At the smallest levels of relationship we have the family unit. A husband and a wife. Father, mother, children. Follow by the  extended family, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles etc.. Then we have the community, the state, the nation, the world community, the human family , the cosmic,universal  family of angels and other unfallen beings .   At the highest level of relationships we have God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Life is all about relationships, relationships even exist with nature, the animals and the inanimate objects such as the earth, the seas and the fountains of waters . God is love ❤. Love by definition is all about relationships. God has always been in a relationship. God has always existed in 3, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They have always loved each other from everlasting. God has never been alone. God created all things out of love. God brought created beings into existence to share His love with us, to bring u

 Have you ever done something wrong to someone and when they ask you why did you do that ? You say, " I only did it because of what you did to me ." I don't know about you, you may be perfect but I have done that.  And if you were to ask the other person why did you do the thing you did to me? They may say they were responding to something you did prior 🤦🏾‍♂️. With behaviors like this it is no wonder  our relationships are so difficult with each other. But this attitude didn't start with me or you. It started with the Devil in heaven.  When the devil rebelled in heaven, he blamed God for his rebellion, refused to repent. Basically saying " if we were not reproved, we wouldn't have rebelled." (Story of redemption) Then we saw Adam and Eve did the same thing after they sinned. When God asked Adam what happened? What did you do? Adam acknowledged guilt but blamed his wife and God for his guilt. He said "the woman whom you gave me gave me of the fruit

  This is a cold world. We live in a time in which the love of many are growing cold. Relationships are becoming meaningless, betrayals are on the increase, loneliness is skyrocketing. How does one keep a warm heart ❤in such a cold world? The solutions of many people is to isolate themselves, to be weary of close friendship, but isolation only make our hearts colder. This coldness of heart play a great role in our mental health epidemic. Without love, life seems cruel and unbearable. Without love the world becomes a dark place, a jungle. Without love, life cease to have meaning. How do I keep a warm heart in such a cold world ? How does a person keep a warm heart when someone abused them as a child? How does a person keep a warm heart when they had parents who were cold, unloving? How do you keep a warm heart when after your parents got a divorce you rarely see your dad? How do you keep a warm heart when people made fun of how you look as a teenager? How do you keep a warm heart when y

 Matthew 4:8,9. The devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. "All this I will give you," he said ," if You will fall down and worship me." We have been studying the temptations Jesus encountered in the wilderness and how they apply to us. Today we are looking at the third and final temptation. In the first two temptations, the Devil presented Himself as an angel of light. He tried to hide his true character but Christ recognized him from the go. The Devil began with " if, "  you are the Son of God. The "if " gave him away. The "if" was an attempt to get Christ to doubt His Father's Word, but Christ prevailed by saying " it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. " In the second temptation we saw the devil trying to use the scriptures to deceive. If the devil can't get you to doubt the Word of God, he w

  I was listening to this sermon on audioverse.org, titled the burden of scripture by Steve Conway and the preacher said something very powerful."We cannot have victory over what we refuse to surrender and we cannot surrender what we refuse to acknowledge. " In the sermon he spoke about counseling a young lady who came to him with her fiance for counseling before marriage. And as they were talking, the young lady mentioned that she never knew her father. She said when she got older she found out her father lived near her but he never came to visit. And the young lady finished the story by telling him she was "cool" with the fact. She pretended that she was at peace with the situation. So the pastor went ahead and repeated the situation to her. He said so you are telling me your father never came to your preschool graduation, he never came when you graduated from high school, never came when you graduated from college and the young lady at the time had a young child
