WOLVES AMONG THE SHEEP

Business people easily trust others who are members of their Church, Mosque or social club and love to transact business with them. But as a Nigerian, never put your money into any business without thoroughly investigation and verifying the claims of your business partner.


Two year ago in a city in Nigeria, a certain Pastor who had a call to prison ministry, went a certain prison regularly, to witness to inmates of the inmates called Lawal, had been jail for armed robbery. As the Pastor continued to visit the person, Lawal came for an alter call and gave his life to Christ. The Pastor was very happy, since Lawal was originally a Muslim. It never crossed his kind Christian mind that Lawal was a pretender, an imposter.


Shortly after that, Lawal was released from prison after he had completed his sentence.
Filled with with joy, Pastor drove his car to agodi prison and picked Lawal. Lawal explained to Pastor that he had no place to go. That now he had become a Christian his family would kill him if he went to them. Pastor said, "No problem". And took Lawal to his own home, and gave him a room to live.


Pastor had just newly married and had a whole three bedroom flat to himself and his wife.
Lawal ate with the family , drank with the family , attended church programme and gave testimony of his conversions to the amazement and administration of fellow Christians.


Pastor gave Lawal the position of Personal Assistant and paid him accordingly. Lawal had become one with the family and knew the in and out of Pastor' s life.
Nine months later, Pastor's brother-in-law arrived from the United State on a visit.
He was on annual leave and had come to purchase a piece of land and build a House, so he came reasonable amount of money.
Pastor made contact with the estate agents, located a piece of land and they agreed on the price.
Pastor then went with his brother in law and lawal to change dollars to pay the land and start contradiction on the site. Lawal would supervise the construction work.
At Sabo, they collected cash of about N59 millon. This was on Friday evening. Payment would be made on Saturday morning.
Friday night was night vigil in the church, and Lawal was firt to leave home to church to see that all was in order before the arrival of the pastor.


Later in the evening,Pastor and his brother in law joined Lawal and others members at the church. Pastor 's wife was now heavy with pregnancy and could not attend. About 11 p.m the night vigil started , dancing and clapping, Lawal sneaked out of the church and went back home.
He enter into the house and explained to the pastor's wife that Pastor had forgotten something at home. She open the door and Lawal enter into pastor room, killed the pregnant woman , stole the money and disappeared.


That pastor was gentle, but not wise. He should not have brought an ex armed robber into his house for whatever reason under heaven.

Gratitude is contagious

Bless the Lord, oh my soul, And forget not all His benefits. Psalm 103:2.


Although forgetfulness sometimes increases with age, its really common to us all. Even children have lapses of memory and excuse themselves by saying " I forgot" But there's one kind of forgetfulness that is inexcusable at any age- forgetting to be grateful to God. The psalmist David was determined not to fall this way, so he exhorted his soul, "forget not all His benefit (psalm 103:2).


David didn't keep his thanksgiving to God a secret. In psalm 35:2 he wrote "The humble shall hear of it and be glad, and who were the humble?
They were those who, like David were going through tough times. Why should they be glad to hear his praises? Because their own faith was strengthened when he testified about God,s help to him in times of fear , trouble, need, sorrow and affliction.
When was the last time you openly and unashamedly praised God for helping you in your difficulties? Someone has this to say: "If Christians praised God more, the world would doubt Him less. "Not only is it appropriate, therefore, to express your gratitude for all His benefits, but your example may also encourage others to move from doubt to faith as you praise Him. JEY.
Thank the Lord when trouble comes.

Knowing the ultimate purpose of prayer and fasting

In the world, where Satan and his disciples are out , looking for whom to destroy.
What we need to conquered the devil and his disciples is Prayer and Fasting.


The best way to maximize the potential of a object is to first understand the purpose.
Without a comprehensive understanding of the purpose of a thing, you may not enjoy its full potential. The extent to which any object is useful can only be dependent one someone understanding of its purpose. These are the reason why you should engage in prayer and fasting to tickle devil and his disciples:


1. ENDOWMENT WITH FRESH ANOINTING - The oil on Jesus was ever fresh because He prayed always , especially on mount Olives regularly. In the bible we saw how Jesus countenance was altered and His garment was white and glistering during the prayer and fasting , the human nature gives away for Divine nature which is call Divinity.


2.OUTBREAK OF REVELATION WHICH TRIGGER OUTBREAK OF MIRACLE - During time of prayer and fasting, many secret and things that are blindfolding to scriptural truth are broken so as to gain free access to revelation and breakthrough.
Going through the life of Jesus, we can see that signs and wonders occurred after the return of Christ from prayer and fasting. And the shows us that the altar of fasting and prayer is ordained to generate signs and wonders.


3. LASTLY, EMPOWERMENT INTO NEXT LEVEL -Empowerment means when you are in charge, to have dominion. We must understand that we needs power if we must take over our inheritance which includes wealth, divine health, etc and the Kingdom of God.
Without power of God which you can get through payer and fasting you may not the blessings of God and His kingdom. Even our God rules with power , and it also takes God power to subdue evil power.
So. Prayer and fasting is the only platform through which we receive supernatural empowerment for change of levels.


We should all be watchful and also prayerful.

Africa, the spoilt child of God.

In Africa, all what can be call God giving resources are in African. Both human and natural resources are on Africa land, Many special species of wonderful animals are found in Africa forest.


In Africa, weather is not the problem, rain fall in it time and dry season comes and go. Africa weather is most comfortable weather that can't be got anywhere in the world.
There are many tourists attractions all over African country, town and cities. It is in African you see what is not in anywhere in the world. For example, A warm spring in Ikogosi Ekiti Nigeria, where a warm and cold water go side by side in a single stream.
But with all these abundant of natural and human resources Africa is still name as poor and underdeveloped continent, WHY ?.


My submission is that Africa is spoilt child. You may ask why.
Those so call developed and world power don't have what we have in Africa, but those Continent like European and American that did not have the natural resources that Africa has, are developed and honored more than any Africa nation ," WHY"
But one day this thought comes to my mind and the thought is that is it because God has blessed Africa too much to the extend that God over pamper African and he  gave all good thing like human resources, natural resources and also good whether, which other Continents did not enjoyed, I think because of this is why Africa feel comfortable and they let these comforts and gift from God make their mind lazy in thinking because all what they need have been provided in easy way. Imagine in Europe, there are many seasons , the cold Europe is time ten of what we have in Africa, there are many natural disasters in the Europe and America like earthquake, tornado, and many more , most Europe and American Continents don't have natural resources as we have in Africa, but the lack of natural resources and bad weather and occurrences of natural disasters make the white men more wiser and think fast and also think fast on how and where their problem can be solve.


But african sit and look , because of many goodies in their possession and this make African mind to be lazy even when they are strong people
For this reason is why i say that Africa is a spoilt child because is only spoilt child.


A spoilt child is a child who his parent gave everything he need in life to survive and to be a successful person in life but the child take the care and do nothing to build on what his parents has provided for him to survive but instead the child turn to be lazy in mind and in thinking.
My conclusion: If Africa has not possess all natural resources and human resources we have today, we also could have the ability to think and also look to the future and make move to do what that will make life better for Africans as Europe and American did.
