I can conveniently eat my first meal of the day without stress, at 7pm, on a day I'm not fasting.
But once I decide to fast, my whole body will be craving amala and ewedu at 7am.
The flesh is a wahala to the spirit🤷🏽♂️
Once, a pastor was preaching about holiness -inside and out.
A clever brother interrupted the pastor with this question, "When you eat a banana, what do you eat? The inside? Or the outside?"

Young doctor, when attending to a woman in labor, wear scrubs or a simple shirt. That's not the time to be wearing a tie. Please hearken to the voice of your elders. If that pain holds her and she holds that your tie ehn, your breathing is finished.
Don't say I didn't tell you.
It is NOT NORMAL for Christians to live together before marriage. TV has normalised nonsense. You will see a lady waking up in the morning beside a guy and saying "Tunde, when are you going to marry me?".
This is abnormal behaviour, dishonoring to parents, and sinful to God.
I don't understand when believers say they are leo, aries, scorpio, gemini, capricorn.
A whole product of divine salvation identifying as crab, fish, goat and ram?
Antimalarial don finish for una side?
Having a clean heart is important; but knowing how to present your bodies as children of God, is also quite important. One is not without the other. "
And thus were the young lads graciously instructed.

My sister, if a fellow church worker is asking you for extramarital sex;
Tell him I said he should add it to the church announcements on Sunday. That when you hear it from the pulpit, you will attend.
"The following brothers will love to sleep with the following...
God forbid that we look up to African culture to know how to raise our children.
God forbid that we look up to American culture to know how to raise our children.
The BIBLE is our standard.
Good food can be served on a dirty plate, & a good Christian can wear revealing clothes.
A clean plate does not mean good food, & dressing decently does not mean a person is saved.
But good food should be served on a clean plate, & being saved means you should dress decently.
You are a husband, a father and a CEO or a manager, or even a pastor. Of the 3, your most important role is HUSBAND.
If we likewise tell some of our sisters that their most important role is WIFE, they will become angry.
So let us talk ONLY to the men today.😁
Zualakate trends. You post.
Olololo trends. You post.
One legge trends. You post.
Why are you running trends. You post.
Then JESUS trends. And you are angry...
My brother, the devil is sitting on your head with the two sides of his buttocks.
You need...JESUS!
"When you go to buy bananas, how do you know if the banana is good? What do you look at? The inside? Or the outside?"
The brother said, "The outside."
The pastor replied, "This is because holiness on the inside, will show on the outside.

Dear Christian,
If you buy something, and the shopkeeper forgets to ask you to pay
That's a temptation. Not God's favour.
And if others are stealing from the office, or cheating; and getting away with it; but you do it and get caught
God loves you. And that is His favour.
Don't try to pray for long hours, 'fall in love' with God. Become His friend.
When I was in secondary school
I read in one of Ben Carson's books
how when he worked in
a different place from his wife,
they could speak on the phone for
6 straight hours.
And...
Just as it happened in 1905, the 1920s, 1970 etc,
Another revival is afoot at Asbury University, Kentucky.
Hundreds of young people have been trooping there from all over the USA to pray and seek God's face, and the service has continued for five days now.
Light is shining🔥
When Paul taught grace, he quoted Genesis, Psalms, and Jeremiah.
When he taught righteousness, he quoted Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Zechariah.
When he taught the liberty of Christ, he quoted Genesis.
When he taught the election of grace, he quoted
When you hear a Christian boasting about how many hours they spend praying;
Such a person needs MORE prayer, DESPERATELY.
LITTLE prayer PUFFS you UP.
MUCH prayer BREAKS you DOWN.
All my holy sisters who love to pose in smoky sexy shots; I just want to let you know that you can't be holy and sexy with the same body. Deborah with a touch of Delilah. There's nothing like that. Stop doing your eyes and tongue like someone with stroke.
Just smile for Jesus!😁
A CHURCH wedding is NOT
the same as a WHITE wedding.
White wedding is for WHITES, or from them.
Church wedding is for CHRISTIANS.
Marrying in a church building does not make it a church wedding.
Suit and tie or white gown does NOT make it a church wedding.

Never use spiritual or church activities as an excuse to do poorly at work.
It's a disgrace to the name of Christ.
CHRISTIANITY SHOULD MAKE YOU EXCELLENT,
NOT INCOMPETENT.
Tamar and Rahab were prostitutes, Ruth was a widow, Bathsheba was a mistress, Mary was a virgin.
Yet all 5 were counted worthy to be the mothers of Jesus.
Regardless of who you are or have been, may God bring you into the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
Christianity means that when
people read about Jesus
in the Bible,
And then get to meet you
or spend some time with you;
They feel that they have met Him,
and have been with Him.
There is no other meaning.
The reason you have headache
Is that after listening to Davido,
you listen to Dunsin,
then Asake,
then Mercy Chinwo.
My sister, this is not a matter
of panadol.
Angels and Demons are fighting
in your head.🤷🏽♂️
A church where a sinner is
unwelcome, is a sick church.
A church where a sinner is
comfortable, is a sick church.
A healthy church makes a sinner
feel quite welcome, but very
uncomfortable.
Even if he is the pastor!
Love embraces him.
Truth convicts him.
That is Church!
I've discovered that when you
start talking about something
You won't pray about it.
And when you start praying
about something
You will hardly talk about it.
A carnal Christian can be sleeping around, and still be preaching fire or ushering beautifully in church
A spiritual Christian will return an office pen they smuggled home because it made them unable to sleep well at night
Dear Believer, you may not feel something pressing on you physically when you wake up, like others experience; but you are pressed psychologically.
You wake up feeling sad, heavy, tired and like nothing in your life is working. It is the same devil. And the same LIE.

You don't want Christians to give to the church; but you want the church to help when there is a crisis. With what?
•
Do you think the RAM of your common sense is up to 32kb?
The pastor answered him, "The inside."
The brother then said, "So God is more concerned with what is on the inside (the heart) than what is on the outside (appearance)."
The pastor immediately received a word from God and asked the brother another question...

When you study the word a lot but don't pray, you'd see Jesus and think he is just one of the people living in your area.
Prayer makes the word alive.
When you pray a lot but don't study the word, you'd see demons and be sure they're angels.
The word makes prayer safe.
When you really like someone
you can talk and talk and talk,
But when you don't like them,
you mostly answer in monosyllables.
Prayer is difficult when there is
no love relationship with God.
You haven't gotten answers to your prayer for 3 months, and you are ready to throw away your faith.
Yet you have been a diehard Arsenal fan for nine good years.
Brother, consider your ways.
You spend over 80 hours every week on social media, and only 1 hour in church;
And you are wondering why your tongues is sounding like olololo olololo buga buga buga.
It is well🤷🏽♂️
Dear Sister, your pastor may be single, but unless you're in courtship or marriage with him; please never call him Sweetie or Dear. And don't let him call you buttermint or my eclairs (as short form for ekklesia😁🙄). Stop saying nonsense. Baba Blu is also a sweet. Call him that.
When you read the messages of someone you love, you hear the it in their voice how it would sound if they were speaking it
It is the same with God. Fall in love with Him in prayer, and every time you open your Bible, it will be a feast, for you'll hear Him speak to you, clearly
When people you're close to send you a text message; as you read it, you can sometimes 'hear' it in their voice, the way it would sound if they were saying the message.
Likewise, when you're close to God; as you read the Bible, you'll sometimes hear Him speaking clearly to you.
It is more spiritual to forgive one who has hurt you; than to fast and pray for 7 days.
It is more spiritual to treat a former harlot as your Christian sister; than to be doing "yes ma" for mummy G.O
Love that hugs one with AIDS; is more spiritual than faith that can heal AIDS.
What is a gospel song?
A gospel song is a Christ-exalting song offered to God by a gospel-saved vessel. Meaning, a song that is God-breathed, Christ centred, and Spirit filled.
Finish.
One main cause of inability to hear God is too much social media, distraction, and love for trends.
It is called the 'still small Voice' and the (inner) witness for a reason. God won't always raise His voice.
If you want to hear Him,
REDUCE YOUR NOISE.
Your church says no big beards for workers.
No other worker in the church has big beards.
You refuse to shave yours. You're not allowed to join.
You start saying there is too much religion, and no love.
You are saying nonsense because -
YOU are the one NOT walking in love.
Zodiac signs are irrelevant to believers. It does not matter which period of the year you were born in. What matters is that you have been born AGAIN, in Christ. Christ Jesus is the Star that outshines all stars. He is THE period that cancels all periods. And that's on
Periodt!
These are days when Christians question holiness, fasting, tithing and modesty & church; but support cohabitation, polygamy, sensuality & secularism.
Is there a better example of seeming to be alive, modern & free; but actually dying in the ancient bondage of sin?
I think not.
When the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus said "It is written."
Then the devil also said "It is written." And Jesus answered "It is ALSO written."
Until you know the whole counsel of God,
Anyone can use scripture to lie to you and deceive you.
Always talking about Jesus, rightly dividing scriptural truth, praying in tongues for hours, healing the sick, and winning souls; does not mean you are a pastor.
•
It basically indicates that you are a Christian.
If your child can have a tab, they can have a Bible.
If they can be on Instagram, they can be on Scriptures;
And if they can trend, they can also worship.
To worship is to trend in Heaven
Your Christian life should be so serious that those who know you from far will call you a pastor.
•
Your pastoral ministry should be so clean that those who come close to you will find you a Christian.
Feeling pressured with your mental health issues?
Shut down tiktok, Instagram, facebook and snapchat etc for two weeks.
Read your Bible every morning and pray good. Talk to the Saviour.
JOIN a living church.
Spiritual health is the secret to mental health.
The woman caught in adultery had all the men speaking with stones, except One.
He looked down silently & wrote on sand.
Men will etch your sins in stone. God will quietly write on sand where the wind of mercy can blow them away
Christian sisters, when a man is having problems with his wife. THAT'S NOT THE TIME TO GET CLOSE TO HIM and "be there" for Him.
Let other brothers fulfill this role!
Christian brothers, when a woman is having problems with her husband
THAT'S NOT THE TIME TO GET CLOSE TO HER..
Once a young woman came to
see Charles Haddon Spurgeon
and asked him if she could be friends
with an unbelieving young man.
She said her aim was to lead him
to Christ and so she had decided
to be engaged to him fairly soon.

Dear Believer, you may not feel something pressing on you physically when you wake up, like others; but you are pressed mentally. You wake up feeling like nothing in your life is working. It is the same devil. The same LIE. Get up in faith! Speak God's word! Rebuke the devil!
Dear Christian
If you buy something & the shopkeeper forgets to ask you to pay
That is a temptation. It is not God's favour. Pay.
If, on the other hand, others are stealing, or cheating & getting away with it, & you get caught.
God loves you. & that is His favour. Thank Him.

This is an Igala song,
Popular in CAC circles
It is a war cry;
A song of Zion.
Roughly speaking, it means:
It is not true that we believers are SITTED with Christ in heavenly places.
It is simply, untrue.
It's not that grace has not made something like this possible. Grace has.
But English has disallowed it.
Brethren, the word is
SEATED.
When a relationship ends, the difference between a heartache & a heartbreak is:
If God is Everything, & your lover is Something; your heart'll be fine, but may ache.
But if God is only Something, & the person is Everything, your heart'll be broken.
Make God your Everything.
Tamar and Rahab were prostitutes,
Ruth was a widow,

fullness of Christ.
Morality is not Christianity;
Neither is immorality.
Before becoming a Christian, you may have had the best of morals, or you may have lived an immoral life; it does not matter.
Christianity is not morality;
Christianity is holiness.
Religious people pretend over, and hide their weaknesses;
Irreligious people defend and legalise their weaknesses;
•
Believers repent and hand their weaknesses over to Jesus.
Men should know how to sweep, clean, wash, babysit, cook soup, and kill chicken.
Women should know how to start gen, wash car, cut grass, change bulbs, change car tyres and oils, and kill cow.
No laziness in my house!

Please come out when you hear your name, for special recognition and prayer"

The way Pastor Kumuyi and Pastor Adeboye look and move after 8 decades of life tells me
Holiness is happiness!
Holiness is grace-full!
Holiness is freshness!
Holiness is dope!
Holiness is fyne!
Holiness is healthy!
Life goals - Be HOLY. Full stop.
God is good!
On the day temptation is to get you and sin is designed to spoil your testimony, and calamity set to end you.
May something keep you away from the venue and the program, planned for your downfall.
May you be delayed and detained by the Spirit of God.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
If your lover is on the other end of a phone call,
You won't want the call to end. Your calls will be long.
And if God is really at the other end of your prayer,
You will find it difficult to pray short prayers.
MUST everyone who receives the Holy Spirit speak in tongues?
Me: If I send you a million dollars and you receive the alert, what would happen?
I will shout!
Me: How much more the Holy Ghost? It's not a matter of must, it's a matter of course. If you receive, you will DECLARE!
A carnal Christian can be
sleeping around, and still be
preaching firefully or ushering
beautifully in church;
A spiritual Christian will return
an office pen mistakenly taken
home first thing in the morning
because it almost made them
unable to sleep well at night.
"Am I the one that killed Jesus?"
Is a very UNWISE and RECKLESS
thing for a Christian to say.
And, by the way, the answer is
YES!
He was wounded for your transgressions,
He died for your sins
...YOU KILLED HIM!
Stop saying ungrateful nonsense.
It is NOT FUNNY.💁🏽♂️
On February 6, during an awards show in Los Angeles, devil worship was dramatised for some minutes.
On February 8, Heaven responded in Asbury, Kentucky for two weeks.
These are spiritual things.
God has not abandoned the nations.
THERE ARE 3 PEOPLE YOU MUST NEVER LIE TO
1. Your priest, or pastor

3. Your doctor.
This is true. You will easily get into serious trouble if you lie to these people

A teacher with messages like
"How to serve God" or
"Honesty in the Workplace" or even "Rejoice in the Lord"
Will bless you FAR MORE than one with messages like
"The Four Cherubims and Twenty-Four Elders" or
"Translocation, Bilocation, and Portals of Enoch".
It is true.

You say you have a strong personal relationship with God but you don't do church? You can't stand church folks?
But You have feelings for God?
You have feelings for God?
Tah getat! Tah getat! Tah getat!
Tah! Tah! Tah getat!!
Half of the work of discipleship today, is to fill a lack of home training.
Many young people have grown up online, but not at home.
Instead of strictly teaching Christ, you also have to teach courtesy, manners, and sense.
In fact, if you don't parent; you cannot pastor.
The fact that the church says
"Come as you are"
Does not mean you should go there
dressing anyhow and exposing your nakedness.
It is - Come as you are,
NOT - Come as you were born!
Chai!
When last did you pray in the Spirit with groanings that COULD NOT BE UTTERED? Not tongues. Tongues is an UTTERANCE. I'm talking about GROANING like a woman in labour.
That's deeper.
Prayer is proof of HOPE.
Tongues is a sign of FAITH.
Groaning is evidence of LOVE.
The competence of the doctor you meet
Is more important than the name of the hospital you use

And your relationship with the Lord Jesus
Is more important than the name of the church you attend
Many who say they don't hear God can remember waking up at a particular time of the night when they told God to wake them; but they went back to sleep. ..But was that not how Samuel became a prophet?
Don't joke with such appointments. Get up. Pray. And enter into the prophetic.
