WHAT PRAYER IS NOT

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHAT PRAYER IS NOT

"Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help." –Psalm 39:12 (NIV)[i]

"Lord, teach us to pray." –Luke 11:1

"After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and prayed." –John 17:1

"They all joined together constantly in prayer." –Acts 1:14

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." –Ephesians 6:18

"Pray continually." -1 Thessalonians 5:17

1. Prayer is not magic. We cannot summon God as though He were a genie, waiting to grant our wishes without regard for our circumstances or the consequences.

2. Prayer does not make demands. While we can make requests of God in prayer, we dare not make demands. God is the Creator of the universe and does not take orders from us.

3. Prayer is for our benefit, not God's. We need a relationship with God, available to us through Jesus Christ and engaged primarily through prayer, because we were made to function best when we are in a proper relationship with our Creator.

4. Prayer is not a guarantee against suffering. "In this world you will have trouble" (John 16:33); "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed" (1 Peter 4:12-13).

5. Prayer is not an opportunity for us to show off. "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men" (Matthew 6:5).

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LET YOUR AUTHORITY CONTINUALLY ANSWER OUR PRAYER IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

A CALL TO ACTION ON THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: A CALL TO ACTION ON THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

... Continued from where I stop yesterday, if you have been following morning meal for the past two weeks. I talked on first point yesterday.
The second key event was prophesied by Jesus in the same speech, as recorded by Luke:

“[The Jews] will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” (Luke 21:24).

The first half of this prophecy was fulfilled in 70 A.D., forty years after Jesus spoke the words. In that year the Romans under Titus conquered Jerusalem and dispersed the Jews among the nations. Jerusalem remained under Gentile occupation for 1,897 years — until June 7, 1967, when Israel won the city back during the Six Day War.

The Jewish re-occupation of the city of Jerusalem is proof positive that we are living in the season of the Lord’s return. Jesus said it would mark the end of the Gentile Age.

A Call to Action

There is no way to escape the conclusion that we are living on borrowed time. The signs of the times are upon us, and they are shouting for our attention.

Are you ready? If Jesus were to return today, would He be your “Blessed Hope” (Titus 2:11-14) or would He be your “Holy Terror” (Revelation 6:12-17)? If you have never received Him as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to act. Repent of your sins, and call upon the name of the Lord that you might be saved (Acts 2:14-39).

And if you are a Christian, are you living as if Jesus might return any minute? Have you committed your life to holiness? Are you praying for the lost and witnessing for the Lord when you have an opportunity?

Are you yearning for the Lord’s return? Can you say with Paul that you are a candidate for a “crown of righteousness” because you have lived your life “in the love of His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:7-8)?

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME. SAVE OUR SOUL, DON'T LET US GO TO HELL. DON'T LET US REGRET OUR LIFE. HELP US TO END WELL AT YOUR FEET IN JESUS NAME.

THE KEY SIGNS OF THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE KEY SIGNS OF THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.

Continue from all our studies these past weeks on the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and His sighs to watch for.
The most important signs are the ones that relate to Israel because God uses the Jews throughout the Scriptures as His prophetic time clock. By this I mean that very often when the Lord is revealing an important event that will take place in the future, He will point to the Jewish people and state that when a certain thing happens to them, the important event will also occur.

A good example of this principle can be found in Daniel 9 in the famous “Seventy Weeks of Years” prophecy. The prophet tells us to watch for a decree to be issued that will authorize the rebuilding of Jerusalem. He then says that the Messiah will come sixty-nine weeks of years (483 years) after that decree is issued to the Jewish people.

There are two key prophecies which relate the return of Jesus to events that have occurred in Jewish history since 1948. These two events clearly established the period in which we are now living as the season of the Lord’s return.

THE STATE OF ISRAEL

The first is the re-establishment of the state of Israel which occurred on May 14, 1948. Jesus singled out this event as the one that would signal His soon return.

His prophecy is contained in the fig tree parable (Matthew 24:32-35) which He presented in His Olivet Discourse. The day before He delivered this speech, He had put a curse on a barren fig tree, causing it to wither (Matthew 21:18-19). This was a symbolic prophecy that God would soon pour out His wrath upon the Jewish people because of their spiritual barrenness in rejecting His Son.

The next day Jesus reminded His disciples of the fig tree. He said to watch for it to bloom again. In other words, He said watch for the rebirth of Israel. He indicated that when the fig tree blooms again, He would be at the gates of Heaven, ready to return (Matthew 24:33).

Equally significant, He added an interesting observation: “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” (Matthew 24:34). What generation? The generation that sees the fig tree blossom.

We are that generation. The fig tree has blossomed. Jesus is at the gates.
... I WILL CONTINUE THE SECOND TOMORROW.

LET US PRAY,
LORD JESUS CHRIST, DESTROY EVERY PART OF US THAT IS CAUSING SPIRITUAL SET BACK FOR US IN JESUS NAME.

THE SIGNS OF ISRAEL ABOUT THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SIGNS OF ISRAEL ABOUT THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

The signs related to the state of Israel are prolific and very important.
Am writing this morning meal for you friends to get prepare, because Christians are sleeping spiritually, our focus are no more on heaven but on riches, fame, money, power and position. And the end time is here.

The most frequently repeated prophecy in the Old Testament is the prediction that the Jewish people will be regathered from the “four corners of the earth” in the end times (Isaiah 11:10-12). The Bible states that a consequence of this regathering will be the re-establishment of the state of Israel (Isaiah 66:7-8). The Scriptures say that once the Jews are back in their land, the land itself will experience a miracle of reclamation (Isaiah 35). The desert will bloom and people will exclaim, “This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden” (Ezekiel 36:35).

Another end time miracle will be the revival of the Hebrew language (Zephaniah 3:9). Most people are not aware of the fact that when the Jews were dispersed from their land in 70 A.D., they ceased to speak the Hebrew language. The Jews who settled in Europe developed a new language called Yiddish — a combination of German and Hebrew. The Jews who migrated to the Mediterranean basin created a language called Ladino — a combination of Hebrew and Spanish.

Other significant signs of Israel that we are told to watch for in the end times include the re-occupation of Jerusalem (Luke 21:24), the resurgence of Israeli military strength (Zechariah 12:6), and the re-focusing of world politics on Israel (Zechariah 12:3).

All these signs have been fulfilled in this century. The nation has been re-established, the land has been reclaimed, the ancient language has been revived, the Jews are back in Jerusalem, and Israel is the focal point of world politics.

Jesus says in Luke 21:28 that when these signs begin to happen, we should “straighten up and lift up our heads” because “our redemption is drawing near.”

LORD JESUS CHRIST, DON'T LET US EXCHANGE OUR HEAVENLY KINGDOM FOR WORLDLY GAIN. IN JESUS NAME

THE SIGNS OF WORLD POLITICS ON THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SIGNS OF WORLD POLITICS ON THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

Good morning friends, this is the third week I have been talking about the happening of the end time that we proceed the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will like you to read today's meal with your Bible beside you.

The Bible prophesies that there will be a certain pattern of world politics that will characterize the end time geopolitical map.

The focus will be the re-established state of Israel (Zechariah 12:2-3). It will be besieged by a menacing nation from the “remote parts of the north,” the nation of “Rosh” — or modern day Russia (Ezekiel 38:2,6). There will also be a threatening nation to the East that will be capable of sending an army of 200 million — namely, China (Revelation 9:13-16 and Revelation 16:12-13). A third source of danger to Israel will be the Arab nations that immediately surround it. They will covet the land and will try to take it from the Jews (Ezekiel 35:10 and 36:2).
(I said this in one if my book about the rapture "eschatology")

Another key player on the world political scene in the end times will be a coalition of European nations that will form a confederation centered in the area of the old Roman empire (Daniel 2:41-44, Daniel 7:7,23-24, and Revelation 17:12-13). This confederation will serve as the political base for the rise of the Anti-Christ and the creation of his worldwide kingdom (Daniel 7:8).

Other international political signs include wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6), civil wars (Matthew 24:7), and general international terrorism and lawlessness (Matthew 24:12).

Brethren, when you read your Bible well, you will see that Bible is perfect about the world and end time, all you need is to get prepared because the Lord has told us before hand. Don't be a victim be a Victor.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, DON'T LET THE LIES OF THE DEVIL TAKE AWAY OUR SOUL FROM FOCUSING ON GOD'S KINGDOM. IN JESUS NAME.

THE SIGNS OF TECHNOLOGY ABOUT THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SIGNS OF TECHNOLOGY ABOUT THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

The book of Daniel says that there will be an explosion of knowledge in the end times and that people will move about quickly (Daniel 12:4).

There are many Bible prophecies that cannot be understood apart from modern technology. For example, how can the whole world look upon two bodies lying in the streets of Jerusalem (Revelation 11:8-9)?
Modern television satellite technology makes it easy. How can the False Prophet build an image of the Anti-Christ that appears to be alive (Revelation 13:15)? The answer, of course, is the science of robotics.
How can the False Prophet require all people on earth to take the mark of the Anti-Christ in order to buy and sell (Revelation 13:16-17)? It would not be possible apart from computers and lasers.

Jesus said that the Tribulation will be so terrible that all life on earth would cease to exist if He did not cut the period short (Matthew 24:21-22). How could all life be threatened prior to the advent of nuclear weapons? Another reference to nuclear power is likely contained in Luke’s statement that men in the end times will “faint from fear” because “the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Luke 21:26). That certainly sounds like a reference to the splitting of the atom.

My question to you concerning today's meal is. How is technology with you, are you the one controlling your technology or is the one controlling you against the Lord, if you Christianity is under the control of Facebook, Internet, whatsapp, twitter, blogs, Web. Etc then you are not preparing for the Lord's return.

Brethren, all this are rightly written in your Bible and mine, you only need to be close with it and read it undilutedly,
This morning the Lord want you to get set, get prepared for his coming. It may be now it may be this second. How prepared are you.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, DON'T LET THE TECHNOLOGY OF THIS END TIME TAKE AWAY YOUR LOVE FROM OUR HEART IN JESUS NAME.

THE SPIRITUAL SIGNS OF THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SPIRITUAL SIGNS OF THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

There are both positive and negative spiritual signs that we are to watch for.

The negative ones include the appearance of false christs and their cults (Matthew 24:5,11,24),

the apostasy of the professing church (2 Thessalonians 2:3), an outbreak of Satanism (1 Timothy 4:1), and the persecution of faithful Christians (Matthew 24:9).

These negative spiritual signs began to appear in the mid-19th Century when Christian cults started forming.
First came the Mormons, then the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and then a great variety of spiritualist groups like the Church of Christ Scientists and the Unity Church.

The apostasy of the mainline Christian denominations began in the 1920’s when the German school of higher criticism invaded American seminaries and undermined the authority of the Scriptures, teaching that the Bible is Man’s search for God rather than God’s revelation to Man.

During the 1960’s Satanism exploded on the American scene and has since been exported worldwide through American movies, books, and television programs.
Dabbling in the occult has become commonplace in the form of astrology, numerology, crystal gazing, transcendental meditation, and channeling. The whole trend has consummated in the appearance of the New Age Movement with its teaching that Man is God.

As society has secularized, true Christianity has come under increasing attack. Judeo-Christian values, once the foundation of Western Civilization, are now openly mocked, and those who still adhere to them are castigated as “intolerant fundamentalists” by the media.

The positive spiritual signs include the proclamation of the Gospel to the whole world (Matthew 24:14),

A great outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Joel 2:28-32), and spiritual illumination to understand prophecies that have been “sealed up” until the end times (Daniel 12:4,9).

As with the negative signs, we are seeing these positive signs fulfilled in our day and time. Through the use of modern technology, the Gospel has been proclaimed throughout the world in this Century, and the Bible has been translated into all major languages.

The great end time pouring out of the Holy Spirit that was prophesied by the prophet Joel has also begun. Joel called it “the latter rain” (Joel 2:23), and he said it would occur after the Jews had returned to their land.
The state of Israel was re-established in 1948. In 1949 God anointed two ministries that would have a worldwide impact — the ministries of Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. Then, in the 60’s, came the Charismatic Movement which prompted renewal in worship and gave emphasis to the continuing validity of the gifts of the Spirit.

The acceleration in the understanding of Bible prophecy began in 1970 with the publication of Hal Lindsey’s book, The Late Great Planet Earth. It seemed to open up to popular understanding many prophecies that had been “sealed up” until the end times (Daniel 12:4, 9). Remarkably, it became the number one best seller in the world — with the sole exception of the Bible — for the next ten years!

All this are signs that we are rightly in the end time and Jesus coming is eminent. All you and me need to do is to get ready, any moment from now the trumpet will sound to call us home.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST, DON'T LET US MISS THE CALL OF THE TRUMPET TO COME HOME AT THE RAPTURE DAY IN JESUS NAME.

THE SOCIETY SIGNS OF JESUS RETURNS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SOCIETY SIGNS OF JESUS RETURNS

The Signs of Society — Jesus said that society will become increasingly lawless and immoral as the time approaches for His return. In fact, He said it would become as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:12,37-39).

Paul paints a chilling picture of end time society in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. He says it will be characterized by three loves — the love of self (Humanism), the love of money (Materialism), and the love of pleasure (Hedonism). He then points out that the payoff of this carnal lifestyle will be what the philosophers call Nihilism — that is, a society wallowing in despair. Men’s minds will become depraved (Romans 1:28), and people will call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20).

We are seeing these prophecies fulfilled before our eyes today as we watch our society reject its Christian heritage and descend into a hellish pit of lawlessness, immorality, and despair. Even worse, we are exporting our nihilism around the world through our immoral and violent movies and television programs.

The earlier the better we realise we are in the last day of the end time, let's awake from our slumber and prepare before the day will meet us as the people of the Noah and Sodom time. God is warning his coming through society signs.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, DON'T LET US SLEEP SPIRITUALLY THAT THE DAY WILL MEET US UNPREPARED IN JESUS NAME.

THE SIGNS OF NATURE ABOUT HIS COMING

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SIGNS OF NATURE ABOUT HIS COMING

We are told to watch for earthquakes, famine, pestilence, and signs in the heavens (see Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11).

This is the least respected category of signs for several reasons. For one thing, many people simply shrug their shoulders and say, “There have always been natural calamities, so what else is new?” Note that Jesus says these signs will be like “birth pangs” (Matthew 24:8) — that is, they will increase in frequency and intensity as the time draws near for His return. In other words, there will be more intense earthquakes and more frequent ones. That is exactly what is happening today.

Another reason these signs are given little respect is because most Christians are so rationalistic that they do not really believe in the supernatural, and they therefore find it difficult to believe that God speaks to the world through signs of nature. Yet, the Bible teaches this principle from start to finish.

God dealt with the world’s sin through a great flood in the days of Noah (Genesis 6). He called the nation of Judah to repentance through a terrible locust invasion (Joel 1). In like manner, He called for the nation of Israel to repent by sending drought, wind storms, mildew, locusts, famine and pestilence (Amos 4:6-10). The prophet Haggai pointed to a drought as evidence that God was calling the people to get their priorities in order (Haggai 1:10-11).

The New Testament begins with a special light in the heavens marking the birth of the Messiah (Matthew 2:2). On the day that Jesus was crucified, there was three hours of darkness and an earthquake (Matthew 27:45-51). And when Jesus returns, the earth will experience the greatest earthquake in its history as every mountain is lowered, every valley is raised, and every island is moved (Revelation 16:17-21).

God has always spoken through signs of nature, and He continues to do so today. We had better pay close attention to them.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST MAKE US READY EVERY SECOND FOR YOUR RETURN IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

GOD'S WARNING TO THE WORLD

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD'S WARNING TO THE WORLD

As a matter of fact, God is obligated by His character to warn the world of the imminent return of His Son. The reason is that Jesus is returning in great wrath to “judge and wage war” (Revelation 19:11), and God never pours out His wrath without warning.

God does not wish that any should perish, but that all should be brought to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Therefore, God always warns before He executes His wrath.

He warned the world through Noah for 120 years. He warned Sodom and Gomorrah through Abraham. He sent Jonah to warn the pagan city of Nineveh, and He sent Nahum to the same city 150 years later.

Likewise, God is warning the world today that His Son is about to return. He is calling the world to repentance. The message of the hour to unbelievers can be summed up in these words: “Flee from the wrath that is to come by fleeing into the loving arms of Jesus now.”

Jesus came the first time as an expression of God’s love; He came to die for the sins of Mankind. But when He returns, He will come in vengeance to pour out the wrath of God on those who have rejected God’s love and grace.

The soon return of Jesus also carries with it a message for believers.
Lukewarm Christians and carnal Christians are being called to commit their lives to holiness: “The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts” (Romans 13:12-14).

LET US PRAY
DEAR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER, DON'T LET SIN ENTANGLE US, SAFE US WITH YOU LOVE FROM HELL IN JESUS NAME.

GOD'S MEASUREMENT OF GOOD LEADERSHIP NOT BY HAVING LARGE CONGREGATION

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD'S MEASUREMENT OF GOOD LEADERSHIP NOT BY HAVING LARGE CONGREGATION

The current trend of outcome-based churches serves as a good example.
Their leaders preach a widely popular message, and thousands of people follow them. Yet, Jesus says in Luke 6:26, "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets."

Brethren, Popularity is not a good measurement of God's pleasure with a leader!

Jesus Christ, the most perfect Spokesman for God who has ever lived, only had about 120 true followers when His ministry ended (Acts 1:15). This was not due to failure on His part, but because His Father's message could be wholeheartedly believed only by those whose minds God had already prepared to accept it.

"Purpose-Driven" church leaders will not preach the unadulterated Word of God because they know it is divisive. It would also thwart their goals of a large following and a large income. Thus, their messages do not involve repentance, sound doctrine, or God's law, except where it may serve to further whatever purpose is driving them. Their messages do not remind people of their moral responsibilities to God and brother, and thus if they claim to speak for God or say that God sent them, we can know from biblical patterns that they are, in fact, false prophets. Their large churches, as amazing as they might seem, are not accurate indicators of God's involvement or blessing.

Don't misunderstand me friends, I didn't mean all large churches are having fake or false pastors, we bless God for many large congregation all over the word where souls are prepare for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but I can't but talk on these end time false pastor who are not biblically law abiding because they want crowd in their church because of tithes and offering, such fake pastors are not altering the perishing soul and sinners who are yet to know Christ.

We shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free.

DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST, OPEN OUR HEART TO KNOW, OUR EYE TO SEE AND MAKE US MORE CLOSER TO YOU IN JESUS NAME,

EXPOSING FALSE PROPHET AND THEIR WAYS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: EXPOSING FALSE PROPHET AND THEIR WAYS

The message of the false prophet is contrasted in Deuteronomy 13:3-4 with loving the true God with all of our heart and soul (life), walking after Him, fearing Him, keeping His commandments, obeying His voice, serving Him, and holding fast to Him. These elements indicate what God wants His people to be focused on, helping to define whether a man claiming to speak for God is truly doing so or not.

Verse 4 mentions obeying God's voice and keeping His commandments. This is a regular theme with God's true prophets: They always have God's law undergirding their messages. When the Old Testament prophets were sent to warn or inform Israel and Judah, they always pointed out the grievous ways in which the people had transgressed God's law.

False prophets, on the other hand, will not hold the moral line that God requires. Lamentations 2:14 says that the false prophets "have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives, but have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions." False prophets will not connect the dots between the sinfulness of a nation and national calamity. They instead focus on something other than God's standard of righteousness.

This same principle appears in Isaiah 8:19-20. Both houses of Israel were guilty of seeking out mediums and wizards for spiritual guidance, and God's response is very telling:

And when they say to you, "Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter," should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

God gives us a standard by which to measure the words of a prophet: the law and testimony—His Word. If the prophet's message contradicts what is already established as God's Word, it is evidence that he lacks spiritual understanding. If his words do not line up with God's law and testimony, he is not speaking the truth.

In summary, the hallmark of a true prophet is his upholding of the law of God, while false prophets dodge moral teaching and instead preach a message that appeals to the masses. God's truth is abhorrent to the natural mind (Romans 8:7), and thus it is quite common for God's prophets to be killed, while the false prophets enjoy widespread popularity and support.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, GIVE MORE STRENGTH AND ANOINTING TO YOUR TRUE PROPHETS AND BLESS US THROUGH THEM ALWAYS IN JESUS NAME.

THE END JUDGEMENT OF FAKE PROPHET

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE END JUDGEMENT OF FAKE PROPHET

The Bible says...
If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods"—which you have not known—"and let us serve them," you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5)

This passage begins with the assumption that the prophet does foretell the future accurately or perform some other, humanly impossible work. Nevertheless, IF THAT PROPHET'S CENTRAL MESSAGE IS TO FOLLOW AFTER A DIFFERENT GOD OR TO TAKE A SPIRITUAL PATH THAT THE TRUE GOD HAS NOT SAID TO TAKE, that person is a false prophet. God states unequivocally that misrepresenting Him incurs the death penalty, and Revelation 19:20 says that this is exactly what happens to the False Prophet: He is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

All we need to be concern about is this
1. What is the center message of my prophet?
2. Which spiritual part is he leading me into?
3. What is the word of God says of all this?

Brethren, read your Bible well and be watchful for end time money hungry people calling themselves prophet who has smuggle them self among the true prophet of God. They are everywhere and their end is He'll if they fail to repent. Be warned.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, GIVE US A DISCERNING SPIRIT TO KNOW AND EXPOSE ALL FAKE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME.

FALSE AND TRUE PROPHET

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: FALSE AND TRUE PROPHET

Because of the way "prophet" is commonly used, there is a misconception that its basic definition is "someone who foretells the future," but this definition is too narrow.
Prophet is better defined as "one who speaks for another." A true prophet, then, is a person who speaks for God, delivering a message that God has ordained him to give.
In Exodus 7:1, God tells Moses that Aaron, his brother, would be his (Moses') prophet, even as Moses was God's prophet. Because of Moses' unbelief in God's ability to speak through him, God would speak to Moses, who would tell Aaron what to say to others—Pharaoh in particular

(verse 2). It is the function of speaking for another, rather than the miracles they performed or their foretelling of what would befall Egypt, which defined Moses and Aaron as prophets.

Frequently, the words a prophet spoke on God's behalf were, in fact, foretelling what would happen later. However, the prophet's essential role was to speak for God, regardless of whether he did any predicting of the future. A prophet expresses the will of God in words, and sometimes he uses signs to back up what he says and to demonstrate God's power behind it.

In a similar way, a false prophet also may not be in the business of foretelling the future. A false prophet is simply someone who speaks for another but falsely.

False prophets either speak for the wrong god, or they claim to have heard from the true God but do not accurately represent Him or His words. At the very least, they speak out of their own human hearts, but more likely, the "god" they are speaking for is really a demon.

It is true that, if a prophet foretells something that fails to come to pass, he is a false prophet (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), but FORETELLING THE FUTURE CORRECTLY IS NOT THE DETERMINING FACTOR WHEN LOOKING AT FALSE PROPHETS. The real issue is whether one who claims to be representing God and speaking for Him, IS DOING SO ACCURATELY OR FALSELY. A prophet may accurately predict an event or demonstrate supernatural power, but if he is LEADING PEOPLE AWAY from the true worship of the true God, he is a false prophet.

FATHER IN JESUS NAME, EXPOSE AND DISGRACE EVERY SATANIC AGENT SENT TO DESTROY OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME.

FALSE PREACHERS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: FALSE PREACHERS

A false teacher can be anyone in a position of spiritual authority or claiming to be.
Wolves don't often attack wolves, but they do go after sheep. They bring destructive teachings and lies into the church, often, by telling people what they want to hear (cf. Jer. 23). They provide layers of truth mixed with error,

Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits" (Matt. 7:15-16b).

"Beware" means to be on alert ... to discern what is being said. False teachers take advantage of the fact that many people are not well educated in fundamental biblical truths.

To detect a counterfeit, one must first know what the original looks like. It's impossible to gain a clear picture of absolute truth without going directly to God's Word. Unless one is firmly grounded in God's Word and led by His Spirit, one can easily be led astray.

Wolves don't advertise, instead, they "look" like sheep. False teachers aren't dressed in red holding a pitchfork. They often look the same as everyone else. They subtly challenge the inerrancy and authority of Scripture, and they add to salvation ... it's not in Christ alone. Legitimate teachers recognize the deity of Christ. False teachers promote salvation through works and not through faith alone. One must belong to their Society, Institution or Church in order to be saved. This is a false gospel.

The Bible warn us to be careful and to test all spirit,
The rate at which this so call pastors, prophet and miracle workers of this end time emerge to deceive people who are not deeply rooted in the word of God is too alarming.
Be warn Christian, don't fall victim of this satanic servant, they are aftering your soul, and are deceptively lure people who are following them into secret court. Beware.

FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LET YOUR TRUTH EXPOSE EVERY LIES OF ALL SATANIC AGENT AROUND US AND IN ALL OUR CHURCHES IN JESUS NAME.

14 For God speaketh once,
yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falleth upon men,
in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

God runs a school in the middle of the night, the purpose of the school is to save man from destruction.

The greatest danger a man faces spiritually happens during sleep. The Bible says in Matthew 13:25 that "while men slept, his enemies came....."
Every normal persons engages in one sleep or the other. And these dreams are important to our normal life. A lot of havoc have been done by the enemy through dreams.
Many medically incurable disease were deposited through dreams. Many have been initiated into witchcraft, initiated into all kinds of terrible things through dreams.

It is a serious matter when you cannot recollect your dreams, or you say you did not dream at all. There is a double danger in that, God's messages through those dreams you will not know, you will miss it. Then enemies presence and activities you will not know.
Forgetfulness of dreams on a regular basis is a very serious spiritual disease. Many terrible defeat happens during dreams. Sometimes the manifestation we now see in the physical life, and we wonder what has gone wrong.

A sister had a dream that somebody woke her up and told her to lie down on the floor, and the person undressed and defecated on her head. It was one week to her wedding. The second day, the family of the bridegroom came to the sister's house and said marriage is called off. That they have gone to find out from somewhere, and they have said that if our son marries this person, he will never prosper. That was how the marriage was canceled.
Any dream that you have heard that is currently troubling your destiny I kill that dream now in the name of Jesus. Amen!

The enemy has used several dreams to confuse and to terrorize people. Particularly dreams about marriage, business, financial matters, spiritual duties,
There is a class of dreams called destructive dreams or assassination dreams. If you do not know how to nullify them, or you do not know how to command them to evaporate from your spirit, and it begins to happen, it is a serious matter indeed. This is why you have to pay attention carefully as you read along.
There are some dreams you do not joke with, they are destructive dreams:

1. Dreams of self duplication. You are standing, and you see another person looking exactly like you. That is a twin substitute, stealing your virtue and carting away good things from your life.
2. Dreams of violent sex with pains on waking up. Or you know that you have been violated. Sometimes you even wake up to physically see semen on your body. It is a work of spiritual armed robbers to defile, polite and manipulate. It is an evidence of terrible spirit wife or husband. Those who have this type of dream are always sick, migraine, headaches, impotence transfer to the husband, all kinds of pains when this kind of dream is in place.
If you are a sister and you have been having that kind of dream, or you had a dream that somebody was forcefully sleeping with you and he had two sexual organs (male and female) it is a destructive dream you should not joke with.
3. Getting married to relatives or unknown persons in the dream. You don't joke with that, that means there is a possibility of you spirit man available for manipulations. It could result in marital disturbance, mental disturbance or blockages.
4. Seeing yourself with double organs, male and female. It could mean you have been re-invented by the enemy.
5. Dreams that you are always in discussions with dead people, dead relatives, dead friends, the implication is that eaters of flesh and drinkers of blood are in a rage against your life. The terminators and waster demons are after you already. It is evidence that dark powers speaking death into your life, or speaking death to your activities.
6. Finding yourself as a slave, to somebody you are a house help, it means that they are sending your spirit on errand. Don't be surprised if you find yourself unexplainably tired or fatigued.
7. Dreaming that a part of your body is not functional. You need serious prayers to prevent physical or spiritual amputation. So that you will not be like that preacher, he dreamt that he lost his right hand. Then he found that on the pulpit he was getting confused, he gets to the pulpit and his memory goes blank. The day that his wife decided that he will never climb any pulpit again, was the day he got to the pulpit. He took the microphone and said let us open to the book of Goliath. As if it was not bad enough, he said blood of God. The wife said you are not preaching anywhere again.
I pray for you that any part of your body that has been cut off in any dream, re-posses them in the name of Jesus. Amen!!!
8. Dream of ants and insects moving all over your body. That is poverty and all round affliction.
9. Dream of finding yourself inside aggressive rain or thunderstorms. You try to run for cover and there was nowhere to run to. That is evidence of terrible bombardment attacks, rail like afflictions.
10. Dream that you are toothless or hairless. It means loss of motivation and winning spirit.
11. Dreaming that you are looking older than your age. It means you are being drained physically and spiritually.
The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.
12. Fighting none human creatures short creatures, dogs, zombies, headless powers etc. it means that satanic soldiers of all kinds of geographical locations have been assigned to contend with your destiny. This is a very serious matter.
One of my family members many years back. He was promoted somewhere, they threaten that promotion physically, and he thought it was a joke. In the night he had a dream, a short creature came and read out all his names, including the ones he named on the 8th day which he normally does not bear, and said your life will go because of this promotion. He had a big club in his hand which he used to hit him on the right hand. He woke up with a pain and the hand became paralyzed immediately. Fortunately he had something like our water of fire at home, he quickly poured it on the hand, and the hand went back into position.

Any power that has attacked you in your dream, no matter where they are hiding, and no matter from where they are coming, I set them ablaze by the fire of God, in the name of Jesus.

13. You find yourself flying without wings to unknown places being pursued by some creatures. It means that you are living double unconscious life. There is an evil dedication speaking agains you or your destiny is under violent pursuers.
If you remember that some time in your dream they were pursuing you and you were running violently. Issue this divine curse:
Powers that pursued me in my dream, die!!! In the name of Jesus.

14. Flies following you about in your dream. It means attack by beelzebub power. They want to make the person dead while living.
15. You dreamt of seeing strange marks all over your body, it means the enemies have marked you for destruction.

16. If you ever dreamt hat you were crying in your dream and you cried to real life. That crying to real life is a release of sorrow or melancholic spirit against your life. Pray like this, owners of sorrow, carry your load in the name of Jesus.

17. Wearing of wig or attachment in your dream, it means that your Glory is being replaced. Your benefits being exchanged for the temporary. A lot of people loose their Glory like this.
Understand this very well, the most beautiful women in Nigeria are in Mountain of fire, they are not ashamed to appear natural, they don't need makeup to make them beautiful.

18. When you see yourself in a long queue, it means spirit of delay.
19. If you find yourself in the cemetery or the hospital, that is agenda of infirmity and
untimely death.
20. Eating unclean animals in the dream, means agenda of pollution of your life and destiny.
21. Drinking dirty water from dirty river, it means pollution of your source of breakthrough.
22. Attacked by a dog, or dogs licking your body, it is sexual attack.
23. You see yourself breastfeeding strange children, it means your virtue is been withdrawn.

Satan is so interested in our dream lives. All these dreams I have been explaining are the destructive dreams.
Some dreams leave you the way they met you they are neutral. Some adds value to your life. Solomon and Joseph had a dream that added value to their lives.
Some dreams are neutral, they do not harm you, and they do not help you.
There is a difference between a dream to steal from you, and a dream to kill or destroy you.

Some other destructive dreams are:

24. Seeing corpses or coffin in your dream, or going to funeral services.
25. Being handcuffed or chained.
26. Begging for clothes, food or arms.
27. Wearing rags or torn clothes.
28. Driving a vehicle that suddenly stops.
29. Seeing cows or bulls pursuing you.
30. Unknown persons beating you up.
31. Bitten by evil animals.

Pray like this:
* The witchcraft padlock in the brain of my children, they are dead now, in the name of Jesus. Amen!!!
* Any dream assigned to alter the agenda of God for my life shall expire now in the name of Jesus, Amen!!!
* The Lord Almighty shall release Goliath killing stones to begin to operate in my dream life as from now in the name of Jesus.

A dream has three departments
A. Root of the dream
B. Journey or course of the dream
C. Fruit or Consequence of the dream

When you have any of these destructive dreams, you need to attack the three departments.
The first and most important to attack is the root. The root is the origin of the dream. Attacking the root ensures you have cut off the source of power. This ensure it cannot happen to you again.
But you cannot stop there. Because it has been released against you before you cut off the root, you must
quench the journey.
You still will not stop there, you must destroy the fruit of it, or the consequence of the attack.

Example someone is having dream of spirit husband.
You pray against the root like this:
* Father, this ancestral spirit husband in my family, I divorce myself from it, and I command it to be buried alive, in the name of Jesus.

You cannot stop there;
You then need to attack each those that have been sent against you before the root was destroyed. You pray against those ones.

You still will not stop there;
When the spirit husband was coming to you, it was depositing materials in your womb. You need to attack that satanic deposit.

How do I do this?

1. When you have the dream, do not panic, coolly, calmly take the offensive, grab you number one weapon, use the name of Jesus as your combination shield and your battling arm. Take authority over them in the name of Jesus.
2. Grab your second weapon, plead the blood of Jesus to claim protection from the host of darkness.
3. Your third weapon, the rebuke of the Lord. Rebuke Satan and his hosts.

After using these weapons and you are not comfortable, then employ other weapons that deal with and nullify such destructive dreams.

Pray like this:
* Any witchcraft pillow that they have spiritually prepared for me, and that I lay head upon, catch fire now in the name of Jesus.

The other weapons are 25.

1. The name of Jesus
2. The blood of Jesus
3. The fire of God
4. Word of God
5. Angels of God
6. Praying in tongues
7. Chain of God
8. Thunder and lightning - very effective against marine powers, witchcraft powers and familiar spirits.
9. Whirlwind
10. Sword of God
11. Cutlass and axe of God
12. Rebuke of the Lord
13. Brimstone of God
14. Rods of iron of God
15. Traps and nets of God
16. Horrible tempest
17. Carpenters of God
18. Hunters and fishers of the Lord
19. Great heat
20. Great earthquake
Battle axe of God
Hammer of God
Blindness of God
Arrow of God
Gunshot of the Almighty
Razor of God.

These are weapons to nullify destructive dreams.
If you are still not satisfied and you want to do an overkill, then learn to pray the prayer of the psalmist. Such as:
Oh Lord prepare their instruments of death..
Oh Lord ordain arrows against them..
Oh Lord let them fall into the pit that they have made...
Oh Lord let their net catch their legs...
Let them be taken in the devices that they themselves have imagined...
Let them be brought to confusion Let the Angels of the lord pursue them day and night.
Let the ground swallow them up
Let them be dashed to pieces
Let their mischief return upon their own head.
Let the ground swallow them up in anger of the Lord
Let their way be dark and slippery.

To operate all these, you need to
- Surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Confess your sins and Repent from every known sin.
- Turn from your wicked ways.
- Wage war against the dreams.

Let us pray:

* Negative dreams, hear the word of the Lord, my life is not your candidate, die!
* Dreams of spiritual bullets, you are liars, backfire.
* Every disease from my dream, die! In the name of Jesus.
* Dream curses, break! In the name of Jesus

PERSEVERE

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: PERSEVERE

Keep your eyes on God, and thank Him for the victory! (James 1:12)

Through persevering in prayer in each trying situation, praising God and believing in His goodness, we will build the character we need in order to receive all that God has for us without being overwhelmed.

And each situation we emerge from in triumph is a small picture of the victory that awaits all believers someday when we receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him!

So brethren persevere, don't loose focus of God, hold on, I can see your miracle is on the way, weeping may tarry for a night joy shall surely come in the morning for you in Jesus name Amen
The word of God's says, though you pass through the valley of the shadow of death, you shall fear no evil, for the Lord is with you. Don't give up, preserver

RICH IN FAITH

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: RICH IN FAITH

REMEMBER, God is not limited by your circumstances. (James 1:9-11)

By the world's standards, wealthy people have the greatest range of opportunities because they have the resources to make their dreams come true.
They can afford the best the world has to offer, and can gain power and influence through their wealth.

In contrast, God is not impressed by a person's wealth, but rather by our willingness to believe Him and by obedience in what He has told us to do.
If we are rich in faith, there are no limits to what God can accomplish through us!

This morning, all you need to do is to increase the size of your faith and you will see God working wonders and miracles through you. You will beginning to see yourself accompany great and achieving much more than you imagine in life according to Christ riches.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY INCREASE OUR FAITH AND TAKE US TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF GREATER ACHIEVEMENT IN JESUS NAME.

DEAL WITH DOUBT

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DEAL WITH DOUBT

Come to God in faith and expect an answer! (James 1:6-8)

When you ask God for help, remember that He is faithful. When Jesus invited Peter to walk with Him on the water, Peter was able to do it -- as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus and focused on his circumstances looking at the waves around him and the water beneath him, he sank.

When you ask God for help, focus on His Word and what He is speaking to your heart to believe for, rather than letting your faith be determined by your situation.

Deal with your doubt and be stable, when you are going through your trial moment all you need is to deal with you doubt and be focused. And surely the trial will come to an end sooner.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, I CAST OUT EVERY SPIRIT OF DOUBT THAT ALWAYS ROB US OF OUR BLESSING IN JESUS NAME

STOP WORRYING

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: STOP WORRYING

STOP WORRYING: Ask God for wisdom concerning your situation. (James 1:5)

God gives wisdom to everyone who asks Him. He gives it generously. He doesn't think any less of us for asking. In fact, He loves it when we come to Him with our concerns. But the catch is, we have to ask for wisdom to get it. Too many of us reason out problems and come up with solutions on our own -- coming to God only as a last resort.

God tells us in Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

If we come to Him as soon as we encounter difficulties, He promises to give us His perspective on our situation. He can show us ways to deal with our trials that may never have occurred to us.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS, GIVE US THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR PROMISED THIS WEEK IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

YOUR ATTITUDE AS YOU WAIT ON GOD FOR YOUR MIRACLE

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: YOUR ATTITUDE AS YOU WAIT ON GOD FOR YOUR MIRACLE

God tells us in Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

Use these precepts from the book of James to strengthen your prayer life:

1. ENDURE: Don't lose heart. Keep praising God for His goodness. (James 1:1-4)

James encourages us to "consider it all joy" when we encounter trials that test our faith. That may sound difficult. But as we endure these trials, pressing on in faith and believing God has our best interests at heart, we will emerge from the experience "perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." Often, God allows us to go through difficult challenges because those very experiences shape us to receive the answer He has already prepared. Even in the midst of pain, if we can press on praying, standing on His Word, believing His promises we will see His goodness bring us to a better place.
... CONTINUE TOMORROW

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, GIVE US STRENGTH TO WAIT ON YOU AND LET OUR HOPE RESULT TO A SWEET TESTIMONY IN JESUS NAME.

IT IS JESUS NOT YOU

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: IT IS JESUS NOT YOU

TEXT: "Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds” (Matthew 14:19).

Jesus works the miracle.
The disciples distribute the food.

Don’t get that backwards.
We don’t work miracles. Jesus does.
When you get busy handing out the food, don’t put on airs or get the big head or think, "Look at me. I’m doing something great.” No, you didn’t do anything great. If anything great was done, Jesus did it.
Don’t take credit for what Jesus does.
Take the bread and pass it out to the hungry people.
That’s our job.
Let Jesus get the credit.
You’re the servant. He’s the Son of God.
Always helps to keep that straight.

When we ascribe the glory due to Jesus to ourselves, we are putting a stop to the miracle, we are telling God that we are Ingrate and we are taking what is rightfully belong to him.
It amazed me when I see pastors, prophets and church leaders using the word "I" I did it, many Christians this days has turn their SERVANT of God to god, about the way they will package their testimony to gain the attention, and the kind of undue and meaningless appellation accorded to the preacher.

Brethren, it's good to honour the Lord's servants with respect to God in their life, but stop making them God.
The miracle done is from God and not from any man,

Song... All glory must be to the Lord... For he is worthy of our praise, no man on earth should give glory to himself... All glory must be to the Lord.

LET US PRAY
AS YOU ACCORD THE GLORY AND PRAISES TO GOD ALMIGHTY, HE WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU MORE AND MORE IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
