You can change things


To him that overcometh will I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne (Revelation 3:21).
  Our spiritual promotions are based on our triumphs of faith. God watches to see us overcome every challenge that we face because He’s given us the power to do so.
  Your level of spiritual maturity determines the kind of relationship you’ll have with the Lord. Let me explain what I mean with this illustration: when you were a baby, your parents did everything for you. They fed you, bathed you and changed your clothes. But they stopped doing all these for you at a particular stage in your life. This wasn’t because they loved you less, but because you had come of age, and as such, you were expected to be more responsible for your life.
   In the same way, there’s a stage in your Christian walk where God isn’t at all perturbed when you’re faced with unpleasant situations. In fact, He’s actually happy to see you face challenges because He knows you can change any situation with the power he gave you. In addition, you’re promoted spiritually each time you put the word to work and change negative or hopeless situations.

   It doesn’t matter that the doctors may have diagnosed you with an incurable or terminal disease; if you’re born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, God isn’t at all perturbed about your situation. He’s actually waiting for you to reverse the situation. Or maybe it’s been five years since you graduated from the university, and you’re still trying to get a job, or start up your own business; God wants you to change that situation also.

   You need to realized that you’ve come of age; you’ve arrived in the place where God wants to see you change whatever negative or hopeless situation you’re confronted with: “ye are God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”.(1 John 4:4)

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
