APC Commends Pastor Adeboye, RCCG Over Stance On Offensive Audio CD

Pastor Adeboye
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the General Overseer (GO) of the Redeem Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, for dissociating himself and the church from the offensive and divisive audio CD that is being circulated by certain political Pastors.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said by his action, the GO has again exhibited his characteristic exceptional leadership and shown what religion should be about, which is love, rather than hate and incendiary statements.

It particularly expressed satisfaction that the GO specifically asked the RCCG Pastors to ignore the contents of the audio CD, especially all the references to political parties, including the APC.

''The GO's statement, in his response to the APC which had written to protest the divisive and corrosive statements contained in the audio CD, which has been smuggled into some RCCG parishes, made it clear that the RCCG is neutral and apolitical, and that it prays for all irrespective of political persuasion or creed.

''We in the APC are delighted at the GO's prompt action and statement that the RCCG did not endorse divisive comments in any form or shape, that it has sons and daughters in all political parties, and that the allegations contained in the audio CD are wickedly false, unsubstantiated, ill-conceived and mischievous.

''Equally satisfying is the GO's directive asking everyone in possession of the audio CDs to return them, and the directive to the Church's Pastors to communicate such to their respective congregations immediately,'' APC said.

On the obviously-sponsored audio CD, produced by one Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, the party wondered why a man of God will engage in outright lies to propagate hatred, incite Christians against Muslims so brazenly, as if the adherents of both religions are not children of the same God, and then use the platform of the church to campaign for the PDP while seeking to destroy the APC.

''In a country where the citizenry, whether Christians or Muslims, have been shortchanged by greedy, selfish and clueless political leadership, a Pastor went on record as saying President Goodluck Jonathan has performed 100%, while at the same time demonizing and denigrating the APC as an 'Islamic Party' without a scintilla of proof. Much as he struggled to couch his inflammatory and discordant message in flowery lies, it is clear that he was sponsored to inseminate lies to shore up the dwindling fortunes of the ruling party.

''Where in the world has an Islamic Party been led by a Christian? Where in the world has the membership of an Islamic Party been populated by Christians and Muslims? Why would a Pastor whose primary purpose is to preach the Gospel (good news) now make himself available, for whatever reason, as a tool to disseminate lies and bad news?

''Had this Pastor any sense of history, he would have realized how the propagation of hatred, as he is currently doing, led to the killing of over 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda in 1994. This Pastor made it seem as if the terrorists called Boko Haram are fighting the cause of Nigerian Muslims, when he knows deep down that this evil group has not spared Muslims either.

''We have said it repeatedly: Boko Haram is a clear and present danger to Christians as it is to Muslims. Boko Haram is as dangerous to the rich as it is to the poor, it is as dangerous to the North as it is to the South. Simply put, Boko Haram is an enemy of Nigeria and all Nigerians, irrespective of their religion or ethnicity, must unite to defeat the terrorists,'' it said.

APC appealed to Nigerians of all creed and ethnicity to repudiate politicians or politicians in religious garb who may be seeking to divide them on primordial basis, especially as the general elections are fast approaching.

TOPIC: PRINCIPLE FOR FINDING A GODLY WIFE OR HUSBAND....continue from yesterday point

Marry someone you can pray with. Couples that pray together stay together and that's a proven fact. The Christian marriages that fail have one partner that avoids having daily devotionals together. Prayer really builds deep intimacy into a marriage.

Learn to recognize predators. There are quite a number of people who hang around churches to pick up a "Christian partner" and who can fake being a Christian with considerable skill. They generally have no intention of being godly and little intention of marriage. They are generally after unprotected sex with someone innocent and free of disease. Sorry to be that blunt but you need to know the truth. Predators are often betrayed by their lack of true feeling for Christian things and their lack of insight into Scripture. Greed, not tithing, and minor ethical breaches are other good clues. Listen to God's promptings and your intuition. The Holy Spirit will scream "No" at you pretty early on. When God says "No" stop right then and there!

Move steadily and wisely towards commitment and put aside undue suspicion, hostility and distrust of the opposite gender. As a rough rule of thumb people end up living up to your projections of their behavior. If you distrust people and are sure they will not stay with you but are "just using you" then they will flee! No-one will stay in a relationship with a person who distrusts them. However if you treat your partner well and trust , love, and enjoy them and delight in who they are and expect good things of them then they will enjoy your love so much that they will not think of doing anything else except marrying you! Positive people tend to get positive results and negative people tend to get negative results - so deal with your fears.

STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION

STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION
Be assured that you can be cured of your difficulty. Many have been, through the power of Jesus Christ, and you can be also if you allow Jesus to control your life as He so desires.

Your inner determination is the first step. That is where we begin. You must decide that you will end this practice, and when you make that decision, the problem will be greatly reduced at once. You must contemplate how revolted Jesus is when He watches you sweating and moaning like that. You must imagine how disgusted He is when He has to sort through your spilled seed, looking for the pre-born lives you have condemned to hell. And you must realize that masturbation is a gateway sin to sodomy. Only nancyboys enjoy touching a tallywhacker.

But it must be more than a hope or a wish, more than knowing that it is what God wants. It must be actually a DECISION. If you truly make up your mind that you will be HEALED of this repulsive, unhealthy habit, then Jesus will give you the strength to resist any tendencies which you may have and any temptations which may come to you.

After you have made this decision and prayed as hard as you can for Christ to stay your hands, you must observe the following specific guidelines:

1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body including during normal toilet processes.

2. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company.

3. If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST NOT BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. By associating with other people having the same weakness, the two of you can become stronger as a team. Don't suppose that two of you will quit separately, you never will. You must stick together with people who share your depravity. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken seriously for it to be wiped out. Your mind must be focused on other and more wholesome things. Read the Bible!

4. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Do not flex your muscles. Do not imagine yourself as attractive or sexy. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes just long enough to bathe and dry and dress AND THEN GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM into a room where you will have some member of your family present.

5. When in bed, if that is where you have your problem for the most part, dress yourself for the night so tightly and securely that you cannot easily touch your tallywhacker, and so that it would be difficult and time consuming for you to remove those bindings. By the time you started to remove protective clothing you would have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you. Spend more time praying!! Don't think about masturbation!!

6. If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, GET OUT OF BED AND GO INTO THE KITCHEN AND FIX YOURSELF A SNACK, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you GET YOUR MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE. EAT SOMETHING SWEET! Then contemplate the depravity of masturbation.

7. Never read pornographic material. Avoid the Song of Solomon! Never read about your problem. Keep it out of mind. Remember -- "First a thought, then an act." DO NOT focus on how masturbation makes you feel.

The thought pattern must be changed. You must not allow this problem to remain in your mind. When you accomplish that, you soon will be free of the act. Ask Jesus to occupy your mind.

8. Put wholesome thoughts into your mind at all times. Read good books -- Church books -- Scriptures -- Sermons of your Pastors. Make a daily habit of reading at least one chapter of Scripture. Try and memorize it!

9. Pray. But when you pray, don't pray about this problem, for that will tend to keep [it] in your mind more than ever. Pray for faith, pray for understanding of the Scriptures, pray for your Pastors, your friends, your families, BUT KEEP THE PROBLEM OUT OF YOUR MIND BY NOT MENTIONING IT EVER NOT IN CONVERSATION WITH OTHERS, NOT IN YOUR PRAYERS. KEEP IT _OUT_ of your mind! The attitude of a person toward his problem has an affect on how easy it is to overcome. It is essential that a firm commitment be made to control the habit. As a person understands his reasons for the behavior, and is sensitive to the conditions or situations that may trigger a desire for the act, he develops the power to control it. Don't think about touching your tallywhacker!! DO NOT imagine how good it feels, or imagine that some slut is servicing it for you!! Think about Christ's temporary suffering on the cross at Calvary!!

As one meets with his True Christian Pastor™, a program for overcoming masturbation can be implemented using some of these suggestions. Remember it is essential that a regular report program be agreed on, so progress can be recognized and failures understood and eliminated.


Suggestions:

1. Pray daily, ask for Jesus to take your mind off these unnatural filthy thoughts, and beg Him for that which will strengthen you against temptation. Pray fervently and out loud when the temptations are the strongest. As loud as possible!!

2. Follow a program of vigorous daily exercise. The exercises reduce emotional tension and depression and are absolutely basic to the solution of this problem. Double your physical activity when you feel stress increasing. Don't think about masturbating while you exercise and get sweaty!

3. When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell STOP to those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind and then recite a prechosen Scripture or sing an inspirational hymn. Do this as loudly as possible, no matter where you are or who is around!! It is important to turn your thoughts away from the shameful, selfish need to indulge yourself in "that" feeling.

4. Set goals of not masturbating, begin with a day, then a week, month, year and finally commit to never doing it again. Until you commit yourself to never again you will always be open to temptation. Don't think about how it feels!!

5. Change in behavior and attitude is most easily achieved through a changed self-image. Spend time every day imagining yourself strong and in control, easily overcoming tempting situations. Change your hairstyle so you find yourself less attractive.

6. Begin to work daily on a self-improvement program. Relate this plan to improving your Church, to improving your relationships with your family, God and others. Strive to enhance your strengths and talents. Find ways of Tithing more to Jesus.

7. Be outgoing and friendly. Force yourself to be with others and learn to enjoy working and talking to them. Use principles of developing friendships found in the Holy Bible. Imagine yourself as an Apostle of Jesus. Would Peter masturbate all the time?

8. Be aware of situations that depress you or that cause you to feel lonely, bored, frustrated or discouraged. These emotional states can trigger the desire to masturbate as a way of escape. Plan in advance to counter these low periods through various activities, such as reading a book, visiting a masculine young friend, doing something athletic, walking in the park at night, etc.

9. Make a pocket calendar for a month on a small card. Carry it with you, and show it to your Pastor, or your room mate. If you have a lapse of self control, color the day black. Your goal will be to have no black days. The calendar becomes a strong visual reminder of self control and should be looked at when you are tempted to add another black day. Keep your calendar up until you have at least three clear months.

10. A careful study will indicate you have had the problem at certain times and under certain conditions. Try and recall, in detail, what your particular times and conditions were. Now that you understand how it happens, plan to break the pattern through counter activities. Eat donuts! Don't think about masturbating!

11. In the field of psychotherapy there is a very effective technique called aversion therapy. When we associate or think of something very distasteful with something which has been pleasurable, but undesirable, the distasteful thought and feeling will begin to cancel out that which was pleasurable. If you associate something very distasteful with your loss of self-control it will help you to stop the act. For example, if you are tempted to masturbate, think of having to bathe in a tub of worms, and eat several of them as you do the act. Or imagine yourself as a homosexual prostitute, being used as a sex toy by countless sweaty men for their own pleasures.

12. During your toileting and shower activities leave the bathroom door or shower curtain partly open, to discourage being alone in total privacy. Take ice cold brief showers. Don't forget to shout loudly if you think about masturbating.

13. Arise immediately in the mornings. Do not lie in bed awake, no matter what time of day it is. Get up and pray! Also, do several hours of exercises. Start each day with enthusiastic activities!! Tell everyone that "I'm NOT going to masturbate today!!"

14. Keep your bladder empty. Refrain from drinking large amounts of fluids before retiring.

15. Reduce the amount of spices and condiments in your food. Eat as lightly as possible at night.

16. Wear pajamas that are difficult to open, tight and binding. Silk is an excellent choice of material.

17. Avoid people, situations, pictures or reading materials that might create sexual excitement. Do not think about the feelings you experience from masturbation.

18. It is sometimes helpful to have a physical object to use in overcoming this problem. A tube of hand cream, firmly rubbed into your hands to keep them soft, even in bed at night, has proven helpful in most cases.

19. In very severe cases it may be necessary to ask a young male friend to tie your hand to the bed frame with a silk necktie in order that the habit of masturbating in a semi-sleep condition can be broken. Ask him to stay with you to help in case things get out of hand.

20. Set up a reward system for your successes. It does not have to be a big reward. A dollar in a receptacle each time you overcome might feel good. Revel in something which delights you and will be a continuing reminder of your progress. Indulge yourself!! But don't think about masturbation!

21. Do not let yourself return to any past habit or attitude patterns which were part of your problem. Satan Never Gives Up. Be calmly and confidently on guard. Keep a positive mental attitude. You can win this fight! The joy and strength you will feel when you do will give your whole life a radiant and spiritual glow of satisfaction and fulfillment. Jesus will be so proud of you!!

.....continue from yesterday point.

Make a success of your career. It will cultivate good qualities in you such as forward thinking, planning, diligence, and hard work and it will increase your self-esteem so that you don't feel as devastated by being single. It will also increase your confidence and attractiveness. Godly Christians tend to like people who do their best. Jesus had an obvious soft spot for stewards who did their work diligently and well and makes them the heroes of many of his parables.

Make a list of the qualities you really want in a partner and bring this list to God in prayer. Make it quite specific. Use it as a "filter" to prevent you going out with people that are completely wrong. When you make the list remember the golden rule "do unto others as you would want them to do unto you". Would you want your future partner to be drawing up a list like yours? Would you have any chance of getting selected if they did? Is your list too unreal? Make sure that an "average person" - the sort you are likely to marry, is able to fulfill it.

Take their weaknesses seriously. If a person is a Christian but has a problem with drugs or alcohol or promiscuity then be very careful. If they are constantly in financial trouble or always quitting their jobs you may be marrying misery. Things like eating disorders, very low self-esteem, high levels of hostility, and the need to control people can wreak havoc in a marriage. If they are believers then God is working in their lives and there is hope but some believers are not yet ready for responsibility. Some may be "barely believers" and not really committed to long term change. I am not saying don't marry them, I am saying think very, very long and hard before you do. Give them time to grow and to prove themselves before you tie the knot.

Principles For Finding A Godly Wife Or Husband

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Principles For Finding
A Godly Wife Or Husband

I see many Christians destroying themselves in the effort to find a husband or a wife. They wear revealing clothes, hang around nightclubs and feel ashamed in church on Sunday. Pain and desperation are driving them to clumsily adopt the ways of the world in finding a life partner. It can only lead to heartache and disappointment. I know that you CAN be happy and single and that it is possible to joyfully WAIT . Marrying a non-Christian is not a godly option.

Work on making yourself the sort of person that a godly Christian would LIKE to marry. Be kind, reliable, courteous and attractive. Have your life disciplined and godly and in reasonably good order. Be full of love.

Have something interesting about you and work on it. You need to stand out from the crowd a little. Get interested in missions, help the poor, do something different that is still you.

Be godly yourself. Have a daily quiet time where you read the Bible and pray and start putting Scripture into practice in your life. Go to church regularly to worship God and switch off your "partner searching periscope" when you go there. In fact switch it off as often as you can. There is something very unattractive about people who are obviously looking for a partner. Godly people want a godly partner.

How to recognize a false teacher / false prophet?"

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: How to recognize a false teacher / false prophet?"

Brethren, Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24:23-27; see also 2 Peter 3:3 and Jude 17-18).

The best way to guard yourself against falsehood and false teachers is to know the truth. To spot a counterfeit, study the real thing. Any believer who “correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) and who makes a careful study of the Bible can identify false doctrine. For example, a believer who has read the activities of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Matthew 3:16-17 will immediately question any doctrine that denies the Trinity.

Therefore, step one is to study the Bible and judge all teaching by what the Scripture says.

Jesus said “a tree is recognized by its fruit” (Matthew 12:33).

When looking for “fruit,” here are three specific tests to apply to any teacher to determine the accuracy of his or her teaching:

1) What does this teacher say about Jesus?

In Matthew 16:15-16, Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” Peter answers, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and for this answer Peter is called “blessed.” In 2 John 9, we read, “Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.” In other words, Jesus Christ and His work of redemption is of utmost importance; beware of anyone who denies that Jesus is equal with God, who downplays Jesus’ sacrificial death, or who rejects Jesus’ humanity. First John 2:22 says, “Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.”

2) Does this teacher preach the gospel?

The gospel is defined as the good news concerning Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). As nice as they sound, the statements “God loves you,” “God wants us to feed the hungry,” and “God wants you to be wealthy” are not the complete message of the gospel. As Paul warns in Galatians 1:7, “Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.” No one, not even a great preacher, has the right to change the message that God gave us. “If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” (Galatians 1:9).

3) Does this teacher exhibit character qualities that glorify the Lord?

Speaking of false teachers, Jude 11 says, “They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.” In other words, a false teacher can be known by his pride (Cain’s rejection of God’s plan), greed (Balaam’s prophesying for money), and rebellion (Korah’s promotion of himself over Moses).

Jesus said to beware of such people and that we would know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). This kind of the people are all in our churches and mountain around us with their selfishness, Jesus warn us to be careful

Dealing With False Teachers

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Dealing With False Teachers

Scripture: Colossians 2:1-10

I. Introduction: Do you know how to identify false teaching? Using the Word of God, can you support what you believe? Are you confident that your children can distinguish between truth and falsehood? It's essential that you know how to defend your faith against the heresies taught by today’s cults and false teachers.

A. Spiritual deception is nothing new.

In Colossians, Paul addressed several heresies, including the claims that Jesus was not God and works were necessary for salvation. The apostle encouraged the Colossian church to remember what they had been taught and to continue following Christ (Col. 2:1-10).

A number of other New Testament passages warn against false teachers: 2 Corinthians 11:1-4; Matthew 24:11; Mark 13:5-6; 2 Peter 3:17-18; and 1 John 4:1-6.
B. Where do false teachers operate?

They often build cults. A leader might assemble a group of people to perform non-biblical rituals or observe strict rules. If he teaches from the Bible at all, he uses it primarily to validate his “special calling” or his claim to be the messiah. Sexual immorality, child abuse, group suicide, and other types of unhealthy relationships and behaviors often characterize cults.
Sometimes false teachers participate in mainstream churches. Such people believe only portions of God’s Word. They question fundamentals of the faith, such as the virgin birth, the second coming of Christ, and the importance of receiving salvation before death. That’s why church leaders searching for a new pastor should verify that he has a vital, growing relationship with the Lord, not just that he is a member of their denomination.
C. What are the consequences of trusting a false teacher?

Danger:
Since their primary purpose is to control and use people, false teachers don’t seek to lead others into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Division: Such leaders often cause conflict that breaks up families and churches.

Disillusionment:
They make promises on behalf of God, without telling people how to seek Him. Then, when followers gradually give up on personal time with the Lord, their lives become empty. Only Jesus Christ can fill a person.

Drifting:
False teachers often cause believers to neglect close fellowship with God. In the absence of a vital, growing relationship with Jesus, Christians stop bearing spiritual fruit. False teaching is also destructive to those who don’t believe. When a cult leaves them feeling empty and defeated, they will think faith has failed them (1 Tim. 4:1).

D. How do we protect ourselves from false teaching?

Cling to God’s Word as your faithful guide in life (Titus 1:9).

Don't let anything—magazines, television, sports, or even time with your family—come between you and Scripture. If you don’t make time for the Bible, you will gradually lose hope, assurance, and your spiritual foundation.

Study the Scriptures under a trustworthy teacher.

This person should believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. His lifestyle should be consistent with his teaching and the Bible.

Refute false doctrine by comparing it to the Word.

Scripture is the reliable standard for truth (2 Tim. 3:16).
Take precautions to protect yourself from hearing false doctrine. 2 John 7-10 instructs us not to greet those who want to deceive us. If you decide to discuss faith with members of a cult, be bold in your proclamation of the truth, and don’t be drawn into fruitless debate.

Conclusion:
Our culture is more and more open to spiritual ideas that do not align with the Word of God, and hostile to ones that do (2 Tim. 4:3-4). That’s why it’s important for Christians to know what they believe, and also why they believe it. Know biblical truth, seek to live by it, and stay in close fellowship with Jesus Christ. With the right preparation, you will be less likely to fall prey to spiritual predators.

What was a false prophet?

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: What was a false prophet?

this morning brethren let look at this in four ways...

1) Deuteronomy 18:20 “But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.”

2) Moses goes on to say that the prophet that prophecies and the thing he prophecies does not come to pass makes him a false prophet.

3) However, in Deuteronomy 13:3, we read that even if that thing comes to pass, yet the prophet tells them to do wicked things, we still are not to follow after that prophet.

4) So the ultimate test of whether someone is a false prophet is whether he speaks beyond the things that God has written, that is, whether he speaks presumptuously.

Text: Jeremiah 5:30-31 KJV
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

The false prophet will seem as though he is theologically sound. The false prophet will use the Bible. It always amazes me when people defend false teachers in our day by saying, “I know that this man is truly of God because he just preaches from the Bible.” All of the major heretics in the history of the Church used the Bible to support their teaching, and they still do.
The false prophet doesn’t come to us saying, “Throw away your Bible,
The false teacher may have the reputation of being a great Bible scholar, with many theological degrees attached to the end of his name. The false prophet will use all of the same words that those who are sound in theology will use.

Jeremiah 14:14 KJV
Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

The false teacher will talk a great deal about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, grace, faith, living the Spirit-filled life, and living in communion with God. But if you listen closely to the false prophet you will find that when he uses those words he means something entirely different than what we mean when we use those words. False teachers have redefined those words and concepts. Theological liberalism has incredible capacity to use all these words that we use and recast them in totally different forms than their traditional meanings.
We often wonder how theological liberals could stand in church each Sunday and confess that they believe what is taught in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.

I used to believe that they said those words with their fingers crossed behind their backs, but they don’t have to do that. All they have to do is redefine the words and the concepts. Many theological liberals can say that they believe what is taught in the creeds, but only in a metaphorical, rather than a literal sense.
Matthew 24:11 KJV
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
They can continue to parade themselves as Christian ministers, professing to believe what the Bible says, while at the same time denying what the Church has always taught about our fundamental beliefs. Don’t be deceived by their language. The false prophet will probably be using the same language that you and I use.

FALSE PROPHET

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHET

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.(Matt. 7:15-20)

When our Lord warns us to beware of false prophets, he is speaking to us about a group of the most dangerous of all kinds of people. Whereas a murderer might take away the physical life of a person, a false prophet destroys the eternal souls of people.

A false prophet is a false teacher. Don’t let the word “prophet” confuse you. We normally think of a prophet as someone who predicts the future, but in the Bible the prophet might predict the future, but the basic duty of the prophet was to speak the word of God.

Anyone who speaks on behalf of God, teaching others the word of God, is, in that sense, acting as a prophet.

A prophet is someone who simply claims to be preaching God’s truth. Our Lord alerts us to beware, to be on our guard, because these false prophets, these false teachers, may not be easy to detect.

The false prophet does not come to us as a wolf who is seeking to destroy us. The false prophet appears as one of the sheep. As you know, one of the metaphors that our Lord frequently uses to describe his own followers is that of sheep. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). ” When a false prophet comes into our midst, he comes as one of the sheep, and, on the surface, he looks and behaves like one of the sheep.

When our Lord warns us to beware of false prophets, he is not warning us to beware of atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims. They do not claim to be teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. The false prophet, on the other hand, claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ and claims to be a true, reliable teacher of the word of God. The Apostle Paul warned the Ephesians about the presence of false teachers in their midst, using this comparison to wolves. In Acts 20:28-30, Paul warns the pastors of the church, “ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them” (Acts 20:28-30).

The wolves may infiltrate the church from the outside, or they may spring up from within the local church itself. They will be friends, neighbors, people considered brothers and sisters in Christ, but they will be wolves who will destroy the sheep

STEP 3: Your Emotions

The Word of God will lead you to start thinking thoughts that are in line with the Word. And thinking that lines up with the Word will produce emotions that line up with the Word.

God gave us emotions. They are a gift. Jesus had emotions. The Bible says He was touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). It is fine to have emotions…but we must make sure that emotions never have us.

Emotions are feelings caused by pain or pleasure that will direct you or move you in a direction. God has given you emotions. If you don’t learn how to control them, they will move you to places you don’t need to go.

If the devil’s going to move you out of the will of God where prosperity is concerned, then he’s going to do it by enticing your emotions. He tried to do that with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus was sweating blood because He was “deeply distressed” (Mark 14:33, New International Version). He was resisting, not allowing His emotions to take charge.

As Jesus resisted, the King James Version says He “went forward” (verse 35) and kept praying. When your emotions try to move you out of God’s will, do like Jesus and keep moving forward. Keep doing God’s will, regardless of how you feel.

You have authority over your emotions.

IN JESUS NAME, FATHER LORD GIVE US THE RIGHT EMOTION THAT LEAD TO YOUR WILL IN JESUS NAME

STEP 2: Your Thinking

If you ask people why they read the Bible, they’ll give you all kinds of answers. But the reason you should read your Bible is because it governs your thinking. It shows you what type of mind-set you should have. And that’s the second step in this process: Word thinking, or prosperous thinking.

III John 1 states, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” The prosperity of your life is based on the prosperity of your soul—that is, your mind, will and emotions.

You will be as you think. Proverbs 23:7 says, “As [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he.” If you think you’re going to be poor all your life, you probably will be. If you think you’re going to break out of this financial situation, then you’ll break out of it.

Consider how you think. Do you have a lack mentality? A poverty mentality? A sickness mentality? A mentality of defeat? You’ve got to look at your thinking and what influences your thinking, because everything that’s going on in your life can be traced back to how you think.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME CONTINUE TO DIRECT OUR THINKING TOWARDS RIGHT WAY IN JESUS NAME

STEPS TO PROSPERITY

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: STEPS TO PROSPERITY

STEP 1.The Word of God

The Word of God. This is where everything in the process starts. If you’re going to end up at Destination: Prosperity Overflow, you’re going to have to start with the Word. “In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1).

The Word is the incorruptible seed, the seed that will always produce, the seed that will never fail. It is the origin for all prosperity—the gateway to the blessings of God. We can’t achieve prosperity without it.

Prosperity is Word-determined, not money-determined. No matter what we give, our money won’t have a future if it’s not backed up by a “Word seed,” that is, a revelation from the Word of God. It’s the Word seed that causes that money seed to increase. So many of us want to give a money seed, but we don’t have a Word seed. And so we release the money seed without any force behind it.

For instance, imagine a preacher who has never experienced a financial breakthrough. When the offering comes, he always puts something in, but things never get better for him. Why? Because even though he gave a money seed, he never received a revelation from the Word concerning his financial breakthrough. He planted the money seed, but it had no future without the Word seed.

It’s the Word of God, the Word seed, which determines prosperity in every area of life. Word seed will prosper you when the doctor tells you you’re sick. Word seed will prosper you when you feel like you’re about to lose your mind. Word seed will prosper your marriage when things seem down and out.

The process to Destination: Prosperity Overflow starts with the Word.

IN JESUS NAME. LORD TEACH US TO PROPER IN YOUR WAY

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR DOUBTS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR DOUBTS

Should a Christian have doubts, not only doubts about salvation but, we find, many times, that we doubt a lot of things. We are encouraged in the scripture not to doubt and yet we are human and we have doubts. Many times, we think if we doubt we are not Christians, if we doubt it is a sign we have no faith.

I want to encourage you today and tell you that we have many examples in the Bible of those who doubted and yet defeated their doubts. You don't have to be defeated by doubt, you can defeat doubt.

In Mark 9, we have the story of a father who brings his sick boy to the Lord. As he brings this sick boy to the Lord, he does have faith and yet he has a faith that is mixed with doubt.

He makes a statement here in verse 24 that I think all of us can identify with.

Mark 9:23 – Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

(24) And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Then Jesus went on, of course, and healed the boy. But notice this statement, "Lord, I believe, but help thou my unbelief" and how the father makes this statement with tears. Theirs is great emotion here, emotion because of concern for his child, emotion because he did believe in the Lord and yet the problem was so difficult, it seemed like uncrossable a river. It seemed like an insurmountable mountain and yet, he said, "I do believe, yet there is unbelief in my heart. The problem is so difficult. The thing is so big. I know you can do it, but help that unbelief in my heart

In the book of James, we're cautioned about praying with doubt. We are encouraged to pray without doubt. In James 1:6, the Bible says that if you ask the Lord for something with doubt that you are like a wave that's tossed. You are like a reed that's shaken in the wind.

Nigerian Soldiers Have Captured Boko Haram Leader in Borno

Wednesday, September 17, 2014 was a particularly bad day for stubborn Boko Haram terrorists operating in the North East as they lost scores of their members during repeated attempts to enter Konduga, about 70 kilometres to Maiduguri.

But the icing on the cake of Nigerian troop’s victory of the day was capture of “a high ranking terrorists’ leader” who was seriously wounded and is currently being treated in a military medical facility.

Military sources informed PRNigeria that the terrorists leader

whose name is still being kept a secret was captured after the second but more fierce battle waged by the group of insurgents to capture the town following their earlier routing by the military.

Among those captured yesterday in battles where over 60 terrorists were wiped off the face of the earth.

TOPIC: THE ENOCH FAITH

Heb 11:5. Faith made Enoch walk with God,
"By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God" (Hebrews 11:5, NIV).

In Genesis it says, "And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.

23Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. 24Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away" (Genesis 5:22-24).

Your walk will change if you continue to trust in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (NIV).

Enoch pleased God. Is God pleased with you?
Is God pleased with the person you chose in marriage ?

Is God pleased with the books you read?
with what you watch on T.V.?

Is God pleased with the words you use?
the conversations you have?

Is God pleased with the plans you''ve made for your future?

Enoch's walk of faith delivered him from death.

Your walk of faith has already delivered you from death, the death called damnation if
Your faith is in Jesus;

therefore, there is no death that can come to you if it is not spiritual death, you are an overcomer

Seven Characteristics of a True Servant of God -

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Seven Characteristics of a True Servant of God -

In Malachi 2:1-3, Malachi's message is to the priests. It was like saying, "I am not speaking to the congregation. I am speaking to the leaders who are sitting on the platform." "Take it to heart", the Lord says, "Honor my name or I will bring a terrible curse against you. I will curse even the blessings you receive. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you have not taken my warning seriously. I will rebuke your descendants and splatter your faces with the dung of your festival sacrifices, and I will add you to the dung heap."

These prophets were not gentle, nice preachers who stood behind ornamented pulpits and said pleasant things to make people happy. They used strong words. How would you feel if a preacher came and told you, "I'll splatter your faces with dung"? These prophets spoke strongly because things were so bad in Israel.

Being nice and gracious and kind is all right in personal conversation. But when you stand up to speak God's word you have to be as a lion. You must be a lion in the pulpit and a lamb outside. That is what I would recommend to all preachers. That's how Jesus was. He used strong words. And then Malachi said, "You will know that I was sent by God with this warning."

In Malachi 2:5,6, Malachi compared the Levites of his time with the Levites of old. And today the Lord reminds us of how the first apostles were, how they left everything to follow the Lord. "Compare yourself with them," He says to us. The Lord says, "The purpose of My covenant with the Levites was to bring life and peace. This was what I gave them; and this called for reverence from them - and they did greatly revere Me." Notice in verses 5 and 6,

seven qualities that characterised those early Levites - characteristics that should be true of every servant of God.

1. They reverenced God.
Reverence for God is the ABC of wisdom.

2. They had a concern for God's name.
Our Lord taught us to pray, "Hallowed be Thy name." We must have a great longing for the name of Jesus to be honoured and respected in our land.

3. They preached all of God's truth.
Many preachers do not preach the whole counsel of God, because that would make them unpopular. So they become compromisers. A preacher was once invited for meetings to a place where he was to be the sole speaker. A week before the meetings he was to commence, the organisers wrote to him requesting that he must not speak on the topic of water baptism at any of the meetings, lest it offend some of the people. He wrote back saying that in that case they would have to find another preacher. He told them that he could not accept an invitation to speak anywhere, if he was going to be told what to speak and what not to speak. As a servant of the Lord, he would have to speak whatever the Lord laid on his heart.

4. They hated sin.
They did not lie or cheat. There was a hatred for sin in their hearts.

5. They walked with God.
They safeguarded their daily walk with God.

6. They lived uprightly.
In everything in their life - the way they handled money, the way they conducted themselves, etc., - they were upright, without any crookedness.

7. They turned many from sin.
In those two verses, we have a beautiful description of what a true preacher should be like.
"The priests' lips should guard knowledge, and people should go to them for instruction, for the priests are the messengers of the LORD" (Mal 2:7).

We must go to the Lord first and receive His Word and only then go to the people and give them His Word. A messenger must have God's word in his mouth.

But those Levites, like many today, had left God's paths, corrupted His covenant and caused people to stumble by their preaching (Mal 2:8,9). WATCHOUT FOR THEM !

FATHER IN JESUS NAME, HELP ALL YOUR MINISTERS TO STAY TUNE TO HEAVEN AND HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME AMEN

Cultists Kill Roast & Eat 9 Year Old Boy in Minna

The Nigerian Tribune is reporting an unusual cult group which specializes in eating roasted human flesh in Kuso Village in Lavun Local Government Area, Minna in Niger state has been apprehended by the Niger state police force according to the website, Crime & Security.

The cult group which comprises of an aged grandmother, Fatima and her accomplices Tetengi (male) and one Aminatu, were arrested for murdering a nine year old boy, Umar, roasting the body and eating it.

Prior to the victim’s murder, his father, Mohammed (surname withheld) had placed him in care of his mother, Fatima, pending his arrival from a short journey within the state – however, things turned out unexpected.

A police source at the Homicide unit of the Criminal Investigation Department, Niger State Police Command headquarters, Minna, disclosed that Fatima, who happens to be the first suspect, gave the boy to the second suspect, Tetengi with an understanding to slaughter the boy and share his body among the three of them which included Aminatu.

Investigations by the police revealed the victim was slaughtered by Tetengi, who roasted the boy and shared his body with Fatima and Aminatu as planned. Upon his return from his trip with no trace of his son, the victim’s father reported the case at the Bida Divisional Police Headquarters, to unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of the nine-year-old boy. The Police commenced preliminary investigation into the matter after which the arrests of the three suspects were made and the case was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department of the state police command.

The suspects confessed to the crime during interrogation by the homicide detectives adding that human flesh was tastier than those of animals. The Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ibrahim Abiodun Gambari, confirmed the incident saying

“the three suspects confessed to the crime upon interrogation and were charged to court on first information report forthe offence of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, cannibalism and killing of an innocent citizen, an offence punishable under the law.”

WHAT HAPPEN WHEN WE PRAISE GOD?

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

Topic: WHEN WE PRAISE GOD

When we praise God this are what we should expect...
1. God’s glory: 2 Chronicles 15:13-14. Praise is what attracts the cloud of God’s glory. Do you still remember the experience of the children of Israel in the wilderness? During the day the pillar of cloud was there to direct and protect them. To bring this same cloud down over your life, you must give God praise. And when the cloud is full, it will bring forth the rain of God’s blessing. What makes the cloud full is your praise. Is your cloud full? The rain is not falling because the cloud is not yet full. Increase your lifestyle of praise and you will begin to experience the rain of glory.

2. God’s backing: The account in 2 Chronicles 20:20 is still a mystery. How on earth could you go to battle against five fearful nations with instruments of praise? Confronting ammunitions with trumpets and Cymbals? This is imbalance. God is the only one that can do this. You better humble yourself and develop a heart of continual praise before the devil humbles you with irreversible calamity. Invisible battles are won in the atmosphere of praises.

3. God’s deliverance: Acts 16:25. What praise does is to deliver you from trouble and in trouble. What do you do in the midnight hour of your destiny? There’s no prison door that God cannot open. Were there no prisoners there before Paul and Silas came in? Their prison doors remained locked because their mouth was also locked. Loose your mouth in praise and your prison doors will be opened.

Everywhere God finds praise, He comes down. Why not begin to live a life of praise! Appreciate every little thing that God does in your life; sing hymns and psalms to Him. When faith, prayer and miracles fail, praise never fails. It is eternal. Even when we get to heaven, the only thing we will be left doing is praise.

LET US PRAY
Father in Jesus name, let your praises continually be in our mouth. Amen

TOPIC: POWER OF PRAISES

TEXT: PSALM 149:1-9

Psalm 150:6 KJV
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord . Praise ye the Lord .
Praises is God’s favourite delicacy, and anytime you give him praises you are in for a Raise.
God inhabit the praises of his people, so if you will attract the intervention of’ God, praise must never depart from your mouth.
If God lives in praise, it therefore means that He “dies” in murmuring and complaining. The only environment that makes God powerless is the environment of complaints. Are you not the one delaying your miracle? You have complained and murmured over the years not knowing you are rendering God powerless over your life. If you will start to give God praise today, you will start to experience a raise in every area of your life.

Pastor Oyakhilome’s Wife Files For Divorce In London Court, Citing Adultery And Unreasonable Behavior

The dissolution of the marriage between Christ Embassy Church founder, Pastor Christian Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome, has entered the final phase, TheCable can report.

The wife is seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and “adultery”. She outlined several allegations against the pastor which TheCable cannot publish for legal reasons. The divorce case, with Suit No FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, UK, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors, a full-service law firm with expertise in commercial law and a strong consumer focus in family, wills and estate, personal injury law and medical negligence.

Efforts to reconcile the popular couple, whose church is one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and has branches all over world, have failed. They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn. Oyakhilome is the president of Believers’ Love World Inc, the registered name of the Christian ministry, while his wife is the vice-president. The pastor, according to an elder of the church, has denied allegations of adultery and believes his wife is being influenced by “bad friends” who are intent on destroying their home. While Anita believes she has been relegated in the scheme of things in the church, her husband has reportedly accused her of trying to usurp power and authority above her seniors in the ministry.

Sources told TheCable that the pastor had been making efforts to avoid divorce in the hope that the wife would eventually have a change of mind. However, TheCable can also report that the decree nissi was served on the charismatic pastor in his hotel room during a recent visit to the UK. Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow card in a football match which is a precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”) if no new evidence is provided to stall proceedings. Church insiders said Oyakhilome had been hoping for rapprochement, but he was left with no option than to receive the papers when the lawyers cornered him at his hotel in London. The decree absolute, which will effectively end the marriage, is expected to be issued soon while terms of the divorce will be worked out by the lawyers on both sides.
TheCable learnt Anita recently wanted to go public with the details of her allegations against the husband but reached an informal agreement to sheathe her sword in the interest of the church. Oyakhilome is regarded as one of the richest and most influential pastors in Nigeria, and co-authors the fast-selling Christian daily devotional, Rhapsody of Realities, with the wife. However, following the strain in the marriage, the wife had been complaining to friends that her husband had stopped the payment of royalties due her from the devotional literature. “She complained of being deliberately starved of funds, perhaps to bring her to her knees in the belief that she would eventually return to her matrimonial home and mend things,” a church member told TheCable in the UK.

A wealthy Zimbabwean businessman, who is into telecoms, is one of the biggest financiers of the London branch of the church which Anita pastors along with other branches in Europe. When the crisis got to a head, the Zimbabwean stopped funding the church ─ some said in solidarity with Oyakhilome, his close friend and neighbour in Johannesburg, South Africa. However, Oyakhilome was said to have been shocked when the wife announced at a fundraiser that she was sowing a “seed” (donation) of $1 million ─ despite her assumed lack of access to funds. Matters got to a head on Sunday, July 13, 2014, when some relatives of Anita locked up the London branch of the church to protest against the “humiliation” being meted out to their sister ─ who had not overseen services at the branch since November 2013.

Some church members had sometime in May 10, 2014 launched facebook campaign, asking: “Where is Rev. Anita Oyakhilome?” They said Pastor Chris and Rev. Anita must unite “for the sake of the gospel, the church and their two beautiful daughters”. They quoted Malachi 2:16 in the Message Bible: “I hate divorce, says the God of Israel.” The facebook page, which has over 3,300 “likes”, was opened with a stated mission: “This is a Call to Prayer for all believers who understand God’s heart concerning marriage and a Call to Action by Pst. Chris. #DoWhatYouPreach”. Officials of the church quickly moved to deny any rift between the pastor couple. One official, Kenneth Achumasara, told the media last June: “I can tell you authoritatively that there is no issue between Pastor Chris and his wife, Anita… If you go to the UK now you will see her along with the kids. She is still with him and there is no issue between them. I have been with him for 22 years and the Pastor Chris I know cannot even utter such words as reported. He will never address such a gathering. She will soon be in Nigeria for a programme and I will definitely invite you to have access to her.”

Boko Haram is funded by Nigerian politicians,may link up with ISIS-Australian Negotiator

Australian hostage negotiator,Dr. Stephen Davis,has given a deeper insight into the Boko Haram group. Davis who worked as a negotiator on the Niger Delta militancy uprising,under the Obasanjo/Shehu Yar’Adua administrations has alleged that Boko Haram is being funded by politicians and the group may soon link up with the dreaded ISIS.
In an interview posted by Radio Australia,he said ......
"That makes it easier in some ways as they can be arrested, but of course the onus of proof is high and many are in opposition, so if the President moves against them, he would be accused of trying to rig the elections due early next year.....

“So, I think this (insurgency) will run through to the election unabated. These politicians think that if they win power they can turn these terrorists off, but this has mutated.

It’s no longer a case of Muslims purifying by killing off Christians. They are just killing indiscriminately, beheading, disembowelling people – men, women and children and whole villages.” would say it’s almost beyond the control of the political sponsors now.Terror groups are linking up in Somalia, southern Sudan, Egypt and we have fairly strong evidence they are talking with ISIS members.They will link up with ISIS and Al Shabaab and I think that what we are seeing in that region is the new homeland of radical Islam in the world.”

On his experience, he said being an Austrialian helped him
“When confronted by groups with an AK-47 in my face they’d say, ‘you are American, we have to kill you,When you say, no I’m not American, they think you are British, and say you will still die, but when I said I’m Australian, they said that’s all right.I have no idea why but it’s certainly been helpful.”
On why the release of Chibok girls didn't pull through,he said it was sabotaged

“I made a few telephone calls to the Boko Haram commanders and they confirmed they were in possession of the girls,They told me they would be prepared to release some as a goodwill gesture towards a peace deal with the government, so I went to Nigeria on the basis of being able to secure their release,The girls were there, 60 girls. There were 20 vehicles with girls. We travelled for four-and-a-half hours to reach them, but 15 minutes before we arrived, they were kidnapped again by another group who wanted to cash in on a reward.The police had offered a reward of several million naira just 24 hours before we went to pick them up. I understand, from the Boko Haram commanders I spoke to, the girls eventually ended up back with them.I don’t know what happened to the group that took them but I suspect it wasn’t good.”

Pastor Lesego Daniel of the Rabboni Centre Ministries, South Africa made headlines early this year when he made his church members eat grass , claiming that eating grass will bring them closer to God.

Pastor Commits Suicide After Impregnating Married Woman 4 Times [PICTURED]

After being slapped with a civil lawsuit of $10,000 for allegedly impregnating another man’s wife in February this year, Reverend Menard Zvenyika was due to appear before a disciplinary hearing of his church.

However, Zvenyika apparently couldn’t face the further humiliation and possible excommunication from the church, so he decided to end his own life by drinking poison, according to reports.

Forty-two-year-old Chezhira Mukobvu, who had been married to Rosemary Nyamukachi for 17 years, took Zvenyika to court earlier this year because he believed that his wife had been impregnated while working for the allegedly adulterous pastor. The 35-year-old woman had reportedly been employed as a housemaid in the home of Zvenyika for about 5 years, during which time she had allegedly been forced to terminate 3 pregnancies fathered by the reverend before finally giving birth to a son.

Assistant Inspector Nkululeko Nduna said on the telephone that he could neither confirm nor deny the report about the adulterous relationship of Zvenyika, because he was not in the office in the moment, according to New Zimbabwe.com. However, the online newspaper did reach family members who claimed that the reverend had died on his way to the clinic in Bikita after he had swallowed poison at his home on Friday, August 22, 2014.

According to their source, the reverend had a lot of pressure mounting on him because he was supposed to appear before a disciplinary hearing of the church and the evidence against him was overwhelming. Moderator of the church, Reverend Dr. Rangarirai Rutoro, said that although he could confirm the demise of Zvenyika, he couldn’t confirm the circumstances because he didn’t want to usurp the family’s rights to tell their version of the story.

Mukobvu testified in court that the adulterous relationship between his wife and Zvenyika had destroyed their marriage and his wife was willing to testify in court as to the accuracy of his statements. He claimed the reverend should compensate him for the damage caused to his marriage and the intimate relations his wife had refused him because of her affair with the reverend.

The term (merimnan) means “to be drawn in different directions, to be divided or distracted.” Whatever we are anxious about tends to distract us from trusting God. It tends to pull us in different directions so that we do not depend on him. When we limp in this direction, we do not resist Satan, but play into his hand.

Nigerian Couple Burns Their Bible Due To 16yrs Childlessness

Nigerian Couple Burns Their Bible Due To 16yrs Childlessness

Will the burning of the Holy Bible now cause them to have kids? Misguided frustration! A Nigerian couple in the city of Asaba, Delta State, Benson Ogwu and his wife, who have been married for 16 years without a child, took their desperation to the extreme on Wedneday as they set their Holy Bible ablaze.

The couple lives around Bonssac quarters. The couple, members of a popular Pentecostal church in the area, were angry after their high expectations of having babies were shattered by a prophet who told them they had a delay in having children because they were far from God.
Sources say the couple was married in Catholic Church, which they dumped afterwards for one of the popular Pentecostal church where accusing fingers have been pointed to the pastor for raising false prophesies.

Consequently, they claimed God has abandoned them. According to Leadership, their 'stupid' action attracted hundreds of passersby in the vicinity who were shocked beyond words.

A close to the couple said they were disillusioned after several prophets told them that the Lord was totally fed up of their Christian practice. And they were said to have sought the assistance of some native doctors, who lured them into serving his idol popularly known as “Onishe”, where they were assured they would have children within three years.
