If the devil want to invade your privacy and have someone tell everything about you to the outside world, the bad and the ugly, who does he use? The answer is trapped in two words, “Wrong Relationships.” God likened wrong relationships to tares sown by the devil to hinder our lives.

Most of what we face in life are products of the wrong people we are either putting up with or having put up with at one time in life.

Satan has a way of planting weeds around us. Those weeds are the many wrong relationships we bring into our lives either through false marriages, business connections and related things. If those relationships are not weeded out of our lives, we will never grow beautiful or produce bountifully.

Weeding is part of life. If you do not make seasonal weeding as part of your life as a child of God, you will NEVER grow to become what God has called you to be.

He will first put His word in your heart before pouring His acts on your life. That is the protocol of divine intervention in His KINGDOM. His word comes first before His works.

People who understand this spend time with His word until His works break out in their lives. They do not miss a word session because they know missing a WORD session is missing a WORK session.

The Bible says

“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Psalms 107:20-21 NKJV

It's not easy to be alone in life.

But, If you find yourself alone in life, learn to be resilient and responsible. Also train yourself to rely on and live in God. Don't forget unbroken INTIMATACY with Him. That's the key to winning when life places you in a position called ALONE.

Good or bad things flow into our lives through relationships.

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Tuesday 15th September 2020)

“My soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.” Psalms 120:6-7 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 257TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING

How do we get the mind of Christ to fully comprehend the things of GOD? How do we move from walking in the flesh to walking in the Spirit? We need a constant impartation of the word and the Spirit of GOD for that to happen.

A constant impartation of the word and Spirit of GOD cannot happen everywhere two or three are gathered in the name of the LORD. That makes the subject of spiritual environment important. Because the spiritual environment of the place you are, is what determines what happens to you!

It’s being our season of schooling in the things of God. And as we take a quiet but steady march towards our day of final redemption, GOD has a word for us today as always.

Today Heaven will help us to look at the power of environment in our walk and talk with GOD.

To start with, we are described as seeds. If you genuinely give your life to Christ, and become a temple of God in the Spirit, are a righteous. Sadly, many of us in the Christian faith are yet to come into the revelation, especially the revelation of our seed nature in Christ.

The truth is, true salvation encounter transforms. It transforms a man through the washing and regeneration of the human spirit by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says,

“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,” Titus 3:4-6 NKJV

If your salvation was based on a mere “decision” instead of an “encounter” you are not safe. Genuine salvation encounter transforms.

IT TRANSFORMS A SINNER FROM THE SEED OF THE WICKED TO THAT OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

Off course, from the Parable of the wheat and tares, it’s clear that there are two kinds of people in the field of the world; the seed of the righteous and the seed of the wicked one. God who does not want anyone to perish has made it possible for every seed of the wicked one (who we all were), to experience salvation by the washing and regeneration of the Holy Spirit, and become the seed of the righteous.

Sadly, the world is very fertile for the growth and development of the seed of the wicked one. In fact, everything in the world supplies enough fertility to the soil of the seed of the wicked to grow unhindered.

The media, the society in general; the universities, the colleges, the policies of the government of nations, and sadly even the Church today – all these are full of influences that fertilizes the seed of the wicked one to grow. They do not have the moral strength to fertilize the seed of the righteous to grow and take root. In fact, they kill it.

That is why God warned all seed of the righteous in His word saying;

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 1 John 2:15-17 NKJV

The world is fertile enough to grow the seed of the wicked one but too barren to grow the seed of the righteous. That is why any righteous seed that plants himself in the world system, will die and become a seed of the wicked one.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE ISSUE OF ENVIRONMENT AGAIN.

The most important need of a seed is a good soil. The seed could be great potentially, if the soil is bad, it will die and decay. When the seed of the righteous decays spiritually, it begins to live in sin, trespass or iniquity without the restraining or convicting power of the Holy Spirit.

One major purpose why the Bible warns against friendship with the world system is, it has a way of planting us in the soil of the fields of this world, leading to spiritual death and decay.

Child of GOD, the fields of the world today have become so corrupt and very good to grow the seed of the wicked one. If the seed of the righteous will ever grow and flourish, it must discern the ground GOD has determined that it be planted and plant himself or herself there until destiny is fulfilled. The Bible made it clear that,

“The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing,” Psalms 92:12-14 NKJV

The courts of our God in the future is the judgment seat of Christ, where we will one day stand before Him to be eternally rewarded or reproved for the work we did while here on earth. Meaning, as the seeds of the righteous if we are not planted in the soil God designed that we be planted in this life, we will not flourish when we all stand in the courts of our God in the next life.

This is what makes attending the wrong church eternally dangerous. The soil god designed that we be planted in is called “the house of God”

A LOCAL CHURCH THAT IS NOT A CITY OF REFUSE IN THE SPIRIT BUT A CITY OF REFUGE!

Yes, there are many false Churches but that has not erased the importance of belonging to a true local Church HEADED by God fearing men or women – local Church with the House of God content (which is not a building but the place of God’s manifest presence).

God’s greatest vision is to use our present life to prepare us for the next life. The present life is like a vapor compared to the next life where we will be. Planting yourself in the wrong Church as the righteous seed, will prevent you from flourishing in the courts of our God, either in this life or the life to come.

The eternal consequence of being in the wrong Church is the reason Satan is raising more preachers and sending them to establish Churches, or infiltrate already established good ones. Satan knows the ‘power’ of being in the wrong Church than most Christians do!

Apart from flourishing in the courts of our GOD in the next life, as earlier stated, there is flourishing in this life.

The Bible says, “Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing…” Bringing forth fruit in Old age denotes flourishing in this life, and all that is tied to where the SEED is planted.

No right seed in wrong soil can ever flourish. It may put in its best, if the soil is bad, it will remain a misery. It will never flourish. This is a mystery that has remain hidden from so many struggling fellows. They blame people or other factors for things created by the spiritual soil they choose for themselves.

For instance, if you plant yourself in a metaphysical cult called church, you will never flourish. If the righteous seed plants itself in a political party, money making machine, social club, or a place of theatrical performance called church, he will not flourish in the courts of our GOD.

A SEED OF THE WICKED ONE MAY FLOURISH IN THE WRONG CHURCHES, BUT THE SEED OF THE RIGHTEOUS ONE WILL NEVER.

That is why the first thing GOD gives a genuinely saved person is a pastor after His heart and a church to function as a good ground for him. If this two are missing in your life and your salvation is genuine you will never flourish in life.

Only false Christians (seeds of the wicked one) flourish under perverted pastors or in wrong Churches.

That brings us to our devotional text. It says, “My soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.”

If your soul dwells with people who hate righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost, you will never flourish. Even when you mean well, they will fight you. It is going to be to you what it was with Lot – Abraham’s Nephew.

Remember he separated from Abraham and dwelled in the Land of Sodom. When time commented over his decision, he lost everything including his wife. His daughters would later make him commit an abomination by impregnating them both.

A righteous seed in the wrong soil will indeed loose its spiritual quality. Talking about the spiritual travail of Lot while in Sodom, the Bible says,

“And He condemned to ruin and extinction the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing them to ashes [and thus] set them forth as an example to those who would be ungodly;

And He rescued righteous Lot, greatly worn out and distressed by the wanton ways of the ungodly and lawless” 2 Peter 2:6-7 AMP

Eschatological, we shall be rescued like Lot was one day from a failing world, through the rapture of the Church. However, prophetically we see a pattern of what we go through if we plant ourselves in the wrong soils as God’s righteous seed. We will be distressed by the wanton and wicked ways of the ungodly and lawless, leading to strife and dissatisfaction.

THAT ALONE CAN DESTROY ONE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

That is why it’s better not to be in the wrong place than to be, hoping that things will change. Friend, nothing can change the devil, or whatever comes from him; not even time. He is the one that will change you if you plant yourself in his territory.

If you are in the wrong place hoping things will change, and you begin to see things appearing to be changing, you are the one that have changed by becoming a seed of the wicked one, hence enjoying the peace. Nothing has really changed!

This message is a wakeup call! Any righteous seed planted in the wrong soil must consider the word of the LORD this morning and begin to take steps.

The most important thing in the life of a seed is the soil. Where you are planted as God’s righteous seed, is what determines how your life turns out. Do not be carried away be the outlook of Churches and men of God, or the people you may be involved with. It is not their looks that affect us. Someone said “looks cannot killed.”

So it is not about how they look, but how their hearts are. It is what comes out of their wicked hearts that destroys the seed, not what comes out of their sweet tongues.

Let GOD speak to you about the character content of the people around you. If there is no glory among them – I mean the fullness of God on display, that is the wrong place to plant yourself. Let the story of Lot be your guide!

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU;

“And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.

“Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord.” Genesis 13:10-13 NKJV

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Friday 11th September 2020)

"But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking," says the Lord.

"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:3-6 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 253RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING

The mercy and grace of our God has been the secret of our survival this year. It has not given us to the will of our enemies and all who rose against us. If it was not the LORD who has been on our side, men would have swallowed us up when they rose against us!

One of the major blessings God bestows on His own, is the blessing to have a table in the presence of our enemies. The blessed of the LORD are usually surrounded by the LORD’s host, most times to protect us from the evil one and his host. However, there is a talk about enemies today that is more of a panic talk.

So many do not know who is for us, hence operating in fear of who is against us. Satan has used our ignorance of God and placed most of us in panic modes, resulting in us talking fearfully about him and what he is doing!

You see, talking about “the enemy, enemy and enemy” is more of a sign of illiteracy in the things of God. Knowing God exhumes peace, calmness and boldness from a man. It makes the enemy too small to be made the center of a Sunday service or prayer meeting. He becomes “a thing of no concern”. People who talk about God will not cease seeing his acts and amazing things.

Friend, Jesus is real! He is not a myth. He is God! It is when you look for Him in wrong places that He appears to be a myth to you; because you will never see Him. Jesus cannot be found in wrong places so you will never see Him in a City of Refuse preachers call Church. He can only be found in His Cities of Refuge or synagogues of Satan scattered across the nations of the earth.

Our devotional text is a major prophecy that has both Historic and prophetic Consequences. Historically, it was fulfilled in 1948 when God brought Israel back to their land. But spiritually it has been fulfilled in every Church generation. Our Church generation is currently experiencing the fulfillment of this prophecy. It is the very prophecy that is being fulfilled in the life of many souls in our ministry.

THE PRECIOUS SOULS THAT GOD IS SETTING FREE IN OUR APOSTOLIC CENTER WERE IN PLACES THEY THOUGHT WERE CITIES OF REFUGE.

But all their days in such places made them more miserable. And the reason for that is simple; Christ is not there! It was just the mentioning of the name “Jesus” that was there; the presence and glory of Christ was not there. What you must know is this, the name of the LORD, without the presence of the LORD, will not save or change anyone

God in His mercy and kindness came into the lives of these precious souls and gathered, and then pushed them out of where they had been, through many Circumstances, and brought them to “His City of refuge.” I want to counsel you to get our message titled, “YOU NEED A CITY OF REFUGE AND NOT A CITY OF RESUSE”

The Bible made it clear that when you get to a City of Refuge, every avenging demon in your life will no longer hold you sway. So when they got to where Christ is they were delivered from the works of their enemies. That is the Jeremiah 23:3-6 prophecy manifesting. A major Highlight of the text says,

"But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking," says the Lord.

You cannot be free indeed from any harassment of the Devil or become what God has created you to be if this prophecy is not fulfilled in your life. Contained in this scripture are basic ways God minister to His lost sheep.

First of all, when a sheep is lost it becomes a victim of satanic attacks. When it is not in its fold, it is exposed to all kinds of adversity without deliverance. If eventually it runs into what look like a Church but not really a Church by God’s definition, it will still not be saved.

IT COULD HAVE RELIEF BUT NOT REST.

The hireling will then be exploiting it of money and all it can. But Jesus said “I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries.” What the Bible termed as “all countries” in this prophecy are, in simply terms, countries or cities of spiritual refuse with the outlook of a Church that people do run to for help.

Now, don’t forget is it’s His People He will gather, not the seed of the evil one. Meaning, assemblies of wickedness will never lack followers. There will be those who are not the seed of God. These ones will always be in the synagogues of Satan, no matter what. But every seed of GOD will be rescued from the synagogues of Satan.

However, the word of the LORD must get to them before they can be rescued.

Sadly, synagogues of Satan are everywhere, making the loudest noise and putting up the largest “man of God” signs and outlook; causing the naïve and ignorant to be carried away so easily! But God wants His sheep in all countries (Churches) that are merely Cities of Refuse gathered unto Him.

He wants them established under Him as their shepherd by the hands of spiritual leaders that will let that happen - shepherds who will feed them until they get to a realm where they will fear no more or be lacking. Not shepherds who will curse them for not tithing or for leaving their churches, or threaten them not to leave their empty Churches!

Friend, something is happening! We must rise from ignorance and start checking ourselves by our fruits not by our noises, claims or sign posts.

In the kingdom it is not by claims, noise or sign boards that we are known but by our “fruits.” It’s not Charisma but Character. Satan has intimidating charisma but has no character. If you see a Christian or preacher that fits this description, you have just seen Satan in the flesh. Jesus said by their fruits we shall know them.

Fruits are what tells the authenticity or otherwise of a thing in GOD’s kingdom. And it is our “roots” that determine our “fruits.” That is why you must not dwell in a Church rooted in money, money, money, or enemy killing, enemy killing, and enemy killing.

THE FRUIT SUCH CHURCHES WILL BEAR IN YOUR LIFE WILL BE TERRIBLE.

There will be no words to describe what your life will become over time, when these terrible churches are through with anyone.

I have heard very sad stories of what the sheep of Jesus are going through under some preachers that are simply devils in God’s garment. People have tearfully narrated how they were cursed and given few days to live simply because they freely joined and want to freely leave a Church.

A church that is led by a spiritual leader who uses words like “I have to release you before you leave this place or else...” and other related cult terminologies, is not an Assembly of God but an Assembly of Satan.

The statements alone show that you are not in a Church but a cage. And your so called father in the LORD is the cage master. In fact, you are the bird. Until he releases you, you are not permitted to leave. NONSENSE! That is charismatic witchcraft.

What is the message of our devotional this morning? The message is simple; you do not need one more moment in a City of refuse you call Church.

There is a move of God that is pulling His own out of spiritual cages, crowds or cities of refuse we call Churches. The primary goal is to bring us under one Shepherd Jesus Christ. Until this move is fulfilled in your life as a Child of God you will never have rest in life!

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!

“O earth, earth, earth, Hear the word of the Lord!” Jeremiah 22:29 NKJV

Many do not know that the greatest danger on the face of the earth is not an airplane that has lost control and is heading to crash into a city with a nuclear plant - as dangerous as that may be.

The greatest danger on the face of the earth is not a car driven without brakes, a devastating earthquake or unending wars. The greatest danger on the face of the earth is not the most dreaded disease you can think of. The greatest danger on the face of the earth is "Ignorance of the things of God." It is ignorance of the things of God that is responsible for all other dangers.

If people are ignorance of the things of God, their lives will be full of darkness! The world is said to be full of darkness because the world is ignorant of the things of God. Darkness is breeding the ground of criminalities, poverty, diseases, insecurity, social ills, sin and all that makes the lives of men horrible.

Demons are sitting in many households and afflicting them from generation to generation with unprecedented attacks because they do not know the LORD.

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Thursday 10th September 2020)

“And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision and speak to him in a dream.

But not so with My servant Moses; he is entrusted and faithful in all My house.

With him I speak mouth to mouth [directly], clearly and not in dark speeches; and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?” Numbers 12:6-8 AMP

WELCOME TO THE 252ND DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING

If there is anytime we need a word from the LORD, it is now! That is why if God is not speaking to you directly and clearly look for those He is speaking to directly and clearly and join them. Blessed be the name of the LORD who made it possible for us to see another great day today.

It’s been a season of schooling in the things of GOD, especially in our ongoing 50 DAYS WINGS OF THE SPIRIT on the Morning Cloud Television. Yes, streaming helped all who followed on our You Tube and face book pages. It’s God’s school of the Spirit that has helped many. Glory to His name!

Schooling in the things of God is the greatest preparation for life in time and eternity. It is God’s way of increasing or bringing us into greater things of His kingdom. Many people do not know that increase in GOD’s kingdom happen when our knowledge of GOD increases.

Like we learned in our 40th session of our 50 Days wings of the Spirit, blessings come when we follow GOD’s ways, and abundance when we walk in His paths. But until we come to the knowledge of God’s ways and paths, we will not walk in them. Schooling in the things of GOD helps us to know GOD’s ways and paths.

PERSONALLY, I HAVE COME TO DISCOVER THAT WHENEVER GOD WANT TO INCREASE ONE’S GRACE HE WILL UPDATE HIS REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF HIM.

Whenever He wants to increase one’s dominion in the spirit, He will update or upgrade the person’s revelation of who God is. The upgrade of a man’s revelation of God is Heaven’s way of increasing God’s dominion, grace and even power in a person’s life. That is why this season is important. A word from God is heaven’s medium of increasing our revelation of God.

Friend, there is a silent move of God to release a people of “end time exploits” into His Harvest field. We are already experiencing this move of God. Our 50 Days Wings of the Spirit is all about that. The Bible says,

“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” Daniel 11:32 NKJV

Knowing GOD is the most important knowledge on the face of the earth. God is against boasting but He permits boasting in our knowledge of Him. That tells us how importance it is to God for us to know Him.

But talking about boasting in righteous things, the reason God permits that we boast that we know Him is because it’s impossible for anyone to boast that he knows God when He is really revealed to him. You could boast of knowing “about” God, but you cannot boast of knowing God. The two are different. Knowing God is deep, but knowing about God is shallow!

Knowing about God leaves a portion of our flesh alive, making it possible for us to blow up in pride. But knowing GOD kills our flesh completely and keeps us in a state of humility because the more of God that is revealed to us the more we realize that we are nothing. The more of God we know the less of us we become, making it impossible to boast that we know Him.

In simple terms, schooling in the things of GOD will reveal Him to you and reduce your pride level. That is why no one who really met GOD came out full of pride. If you see someone who claims to have seen a vision, an angel or God’s glory walking in pride that person has not seen God.

I am sharing all these to tell us how God helps us to develop what we call Christian virtues – it is through the revelation of who He is to our human spirits.

MOSES COMES TO MIND AT THIS POINT.

The Bible made it clear that He spoke to God face to face. The result of that on His character was amazing. It made him the most faithful and trustworthy in God’s entire house. A major Highlight in our devotional text says,

“And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision and speak to him in a dream.

But not so with My servant Moses; he is entrusted and faithful in all My house. With him I speak mouth to mouth [directly], clearly and not in dark speeches; and he beholds the form of the Lord.

There is so much we can chew in this text. But we will limit ourselves to the emphasis of this devotional.

Character reformation is not possible where there is no revelation of who God is. The revelation of God to Moses so much affected his character that there was no report of evil conduct, like sleeping with some of the woman he brought out of Egypt or “prophelying” to the Israelites to scoop money or other form of support from them – the very sad reports you read and hear about many of us in gospel ministry today.

Sometime I wonder why a preacher or Christian who claim to either have seen an angle, have an encounter with God, or heard a word from Him does not have Godly character. In the Old Testament it could be so but in the new it’s impossible; no one will hear from God or see from Him will come out of that experience walking in ungodliness or depravity.

Divine encounters will leave a deposit of God’s holiness behind whenever it happens. But that will never happen when it is our hearts are not ready for it or when it is falsified! Again I say, if you see anyone claiming to be seeing the form of God like Moses but walking, swimming, living and eating in sin and calling it weakness, that person is not operating from the divine realm. He or she is operating from the demonic realm.

THE REALM A MAN OR WOMAN OPERATES FROM IS THE REALM THAT WILL REFLECT IN HIS CHARACTER.

The Bible says Moses saw the form of God like most preachers claim today, but the difference was it changed his life forever. He became the meekest man on earth. Not the proudest or the most arrogant man on earth. He did not take advantage of the people.

He never told them to sow seed into his life having saved them from the hand of Pharaoh. He was too meek to rob them the way most of us preachers do today!

The reason for sinful living and ungodliness in the Church today is partly because of the absence of the true revelation of who God is.

Most people have secular humanism spiced with scriptures as revelation. I have shared it again and again; there is a lot of ZOMBIFICATION of the Sons of God today while the earth is waiting for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God. It’s really sad.

What is the message of today’s devotional? The message is simple; Godly character is achieved through deep encounters with God – I mean the true God. When God reveal Himself to you over time, it’s like taking a snap shot; His likeness will be super imposed in your spirit resulting in a Godly living. That is the secret!

In summary, I want you to understand that Schooling in the things of GOD will reveal more of God to you. The more God is revealed to you, the less of yourself you become. The less of yourself you become, the more of Godly character people will see in you.

The easiest way God shapes our Character, therefore, is through the revelation of who He is; especially in the school of hard things we shared about few days ago. May God use this word to improve your “walk” and “talk” with HIM in Jesus precious name! Amen!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY;

"I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." Job 42:5-6 NKJV

We are in troubled times.

Apostle Paul captured it in 1 Timothy 3: 1-5,

” But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lover of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, un-thankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.”

To survive these times we do not need Church as we know it today.

We DO NOT need churches that conduct deliverance

We DO NOT need Churches that use oil.

We DO NOT need Churches that give incarnations called prayer points.

We DO NOT need Churches of 45 minutes .

We DO NOT need Churches that teach us how to make the earth and make us need conscious.

We DO NOT need Churches that teach us first born teachings, first fruit teachings, evil altars or evil foundation.

We DO NOT need Churches that serve the Communion of Devils and initiate people calling it Holy Communion.

We need Churches that will teach us the LAWS of GOD so that we can walk in HIS PATHS. We suffer and go through stuff because we are not in the ways of GOD. These are not days of operating in religious sentiments because Satan is not sentimental, he is wicked.

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Wednesday 9th September 2020)

“These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

“For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.” 2 Peter 2:17-21 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 251ST DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING

I did not say 251ST hour of the year but day; that is out of the 365 days of the year. If you multiply that by the 24 hours that makes a day you will know how many hours, the God of all flesh has kept you and I alive and well this year alone. A heart of gratitude will keep us afloat even in the midst of the worst storms of life!

Being thankful to God for at least keeping us alive and helping us to breath is a seed that brings more days as a harvest. We take money as seed but thanksgiving is a greater seed that even brings the money we need to give to God!

This morning there is a word for us from the LORD – a word to start our day with. We have been having a school of the Spirit since August 1st and God have been faithful in reaching us with truth, making the hungry fat in the things of the Spirit. Schooling in the things of the Spirit is one school that will go beyond time. It is the only schooling that will continue in eternity.

The Bible makes it clear that even angels school themselves in the revelation of who God is by the moments – they do that by just observing His glory and screaming “Holy, Holy, Holy!”

Sadly, many in church today do not really know who Christ is. Many of us only know about Him. No intimate knowledge of Him at all. More sadly, many do not know His ways because of the absence of proper schooling in the things of God!

IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS TO GIVE OUR LIFE TO A CHRIST WHOSE WAYS WE DO NOT KNOW!

Our salvation will be false and hypocritical, mostly because we do not know what we are in for. That is what makes schooling in the things of God very vital to the faith of those who want to end in total comfort in the next life. In fact, schooling in the things of GOD will lead to stability among the pure in heart in the human race.

That is why wherever the great commission is carried out without omission, you see discipleship or schooling in the things of God at the center of activities. The standard is, as soon as one gives his or her life to Christ, the next thing he or she should spend his or her days doing is schooling in the things of the GOD who he has given his life to.

Giving your life to Christ without spending the rest of your days schooling in His will and ways, will not do you any good. As we found out in our 50 Days program, knowing His will, seeing His face, and Hearing His voice is becoming the purpose of your life if you truly meet Him at salvation.

Sadly, because of the absence of this standard in so many local Churches, you find many who gave their lives to Christ taking it back without even realizing it. They do not realize because they are not schooled in His ways enough to know when they have departed from them. It is when you know the ways of the LORD that you can tell when you are departing from them.

Many do not know that the greatest danger on the face of the earth is not an airplane that has lost control and is heading to crash into a City with a nuclear plant – as dangerous as that may be. The greatest danger on the face is not a car driven without brakes, a devastating earthquake, or unending wars.

The greatest danger on the face of the earth is not the most dreaded disease you can think of. The greatest danger on the face of the earth is “ignorance of the things of God.” It is ignorance of the things of God that is responsible for all other dangers.

Sadly, the most important things the world needs, are given names that will not let people go for them. Making mankind more ignorant! The things of God are the most important things mankind need but we call them religion and kill the value they hold. But God calls them LIFE. If you call “religion” what God calls “Life” you will keep a number of people ignorant of His things.

THAT IS WHAT THE ENEMY HAS DONE!

If people are ignorant of the things of God, their lives will be full of darkness! The world is said to be full of darkness because the world is ignorant of the things of God. Darkness is the breeding ground of criminalities, poverty, diseases, insecurity, social ills, sin, and all that makes the lives of men horrible.

If not for the restraining power of the Most High God, we would have drifted into major global crisis outlines in the book of revelation. Though they are still on the way coming; God’s restraining hand is responsible for not allowing the human race to annihilation itself.

Ignorance of the things of God is the worst form of ignorance on the face of the earth. No matter how literate you are, you are still ignorant if you are not schooled in the things of GOD. The world is passing away!

The Bible actually warned those of us who are saved that the world is passing away. And that those who love the world will pass away along with it. If you will not pass away with the world as a Child of God, you must love the LORD enough to be schooled in His things with a ready heart to walk in what you are taught. And one of the major thing of God you must be schooled in is “how not to love the world.”

Yes, not how to make money, get married, or come out of generation bondages, but how not to love the world. The reason is simply; it’s our love for the world that hinders us from succeeding in our walk with GOD. It’s our love for the world that has sold us to generational bondages and other forms of spiritual captivities.

Demons are sitting in many households and afflicting them from generation to generation with unprecedented attacks because they do not know the LORD. They love the world and have no relationship with the LORD hence living under attacks! If you will not see what your father or mother suffered repeating itself in your life as a Child of GOD, you must not love the world neither the things that are in the world.

THE WORD OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY SAYS;

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 1 John 2:15-17 NKJV

It is important that we love the LORD strong enough to turn away from the world. Not loving the LORD enough to turn to His way and forsake the ways of the world is the reason for many so call generational curses.

Many Christians who are seeing what happened to their parents or grandparents repeating itself in their lives are having it that way because they have not totally turned form the ways of the world. And instead of them realizing that, you find them dealing with it the wrong way!

You find them running after prophets and prophetesses who specialize in DEMONOLOGY instead of THEOLOGY.

Demonology is the study of demons but theology is the study of the revelation of who God is. It is they that know their God that will be strong and carry out great exploits, not they that know demons.

The Bible says people should “learn about God from our mouths” (as preachers) and not about devils – yet we teach them what they should not learn about in the guise of not being ignorant of the devices of the devil – revelations that will never help them carry out any exploit in life.

YOU FIND THIS UNFORTUNATE SOULS RUNNING AFTER THESE DEMON SPECIALISTS, WITHOUT SOLUTION TO THEIR PROBLEMS.

Instead of getting solutions for their spiritual problems, the specialists are the ones receiving solution to their financial problems. They use the predicaments of these precious souls to solve their financial problems, leaving them hoping for breakthroughs that will never come. It sad and a thing that can bring tears out of one’s eyes.

Friend if there is something in your lineage that seems to be repeating itself in your life, you do not need a curse breaking service to come out of it.

Neither do you need to take a prophet or intercessor to your village to pray. You do not need to give money to anyone. All you need is to learn how not to love the world or the things that are in the world. Learn the ways of the LORD, and align with His word and all of that will leave you alone, or you will leave them alone.

Love the LORD not the world, and all will be well in your world.

If that software that makes men love the world and the things that are in the world is deleted from your spirit, and the power of the Holy Ghost kindled in your life, nothing your parents or entire lineage went through will be repeated in your life!

I have studied the Bible, my life and that of others around me, and come to realize that what makes household demons to repeated in a current generation what they did in a previous generation, is the dust of sin, an alignment with the ways of the evil one and love for the evil and corrupt system of this world.

If we deal with these things, it will be impossible for the devils to find a common ground to repeat in our lives what they did in the lives of our fathers. That is the breakthrough key that virtually all deliverance ministers in church today do not know hence leading people astray!

If you are lead astray by a heretic teacher or deliverance minister you will be killed by a stray bullet in the spirit realm. So many marriages, spiritual lives, finances, and etc. have been killed by stray bullets in the spirit realm simply because they were led astray be heretic and lying prophets, prophetess, apostles, pastors and etc.

A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT IN OUR DEVOTIONAL TEXT THIS MORNING SAYS;

“These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.” 2 Peter 2:17-20 NKJV

What more can we add to this great words from the mouth of the Holy Ghost through the vocal cords of Apostle Peter other than concur with every statement made here. These preachers promise people liberty yet they themselves are servant of corruption. Some are servants of sexual perversion, others servants of greed and covetousness, and many others servants of devils. That is why the people they promise liberty to do not have liberty.

What is the message of our devotional this morning?

God is saying to us if we will be free from every evil works, we must learn how not to love the world or the things in the world. The things in the world are lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. If these things can be erased away from our lives, we will be free from generational curses, evil altars and all that make believers in Christ run after prophets and prophetesses.

It’s my prayer that God use these words to enhance your peace and increase your dominion in the Spirit in Jesus precious name, Amen!
