May your life never be barren of good thing in the mighty name of Jesus

I had a discussion with a sister who got married not quiet long but there is delay in child bearing.

The husband began to misbehave and stay away from home, pretending it was his work and all sort!

The woman got wind he was having extra marital affairs, she couldn't believe. In order to find out the truth, she opened a fake facebook account with a fake picture of a beautiful lady.

She began to chat the man (her real husband) up on facebook, before long, the man propose to her, he said he is single and want to marry her - see life, see deception. The heart of man (men and women) is desperately wicked o.

The sister (his wife, unknown to him) agreed to marry him, he started sending money to her, airtime etc, somebody you have not met, although he stop dropping money at home ( but his real wife is the one collecting the money).

She told him on facebook that she resides in Lagos. She requested for a car from him on facebook and he promised to buy it for her. See life o!

She told me, she has been the one stopping him from coming to meet her ( fake facebook owner but her wife) in Lagos because she wanted to play the game well!

The man will ask her to send her n**e picture and he masturbates with fake pictures the woman download from the net. What a life!

There are people especially men on facebook, all they are there for is side chicks, may GOD give you side DEATHS! Is that a curse? Oh no, I am praying o!

Can you see how deceptive, wicked and very unpredictable people can be?

I felt like shedding tears for the sister.

Marriage is deeper than the deepest ocean!

May your marriage never become your shipwreck in life in Jesus' name.
👏 Amen!

God shall give you unbelievable miracles in the mighty name of Jesus.

You discovered she's bearheaded on wedding night, what would you do?

You are marked for the top, this is not your final destination in Jesus' name.

WHY BABALOLA DIED!

Several people often ask common question: " why are there no men like the great preachers of old? Or why were the great apostles not succeeded by other great men after their passage?"

Here is one reason no one has told you: the great prophets and apostles were not succeeded by equally great men because the young men who would have succeeded them died before their time.

How?

*Babalola: An Untold Story*

Listen to this story.
There was a brother in the early days of the Aladura/ Apostolic Movement who was mightily gifted of God. He lived in the Ibadan Area of the then Apostolic Church in the late 1930's and early 40's. Coincidentally, his name is also Babalola. But not the Great Apostle from Odo- Owa that is generally known by that name.
I believe that if this brother had lived long he might have escalated the work of evangelism and continued where the great Apostle Babalola would have left of after his own passage. But he did not survived the onslaught of the dark powers of his days.

It is a terrible thing when a mighty man and a wise man dies like a fool.

Our youths are playing with sin, toying with occult, girls swimming in fornication which they call fun. And the Church that should warn them is after their pockets rather than their souls.

If Bro Babalola had lived perhaps we would have met him and he would be the one to tell us about those great men and their lives and the Great Revival to those of us of today.

There was a time in the Apostolic Church of the early days in the late 1930s when in the Ibadan Area they were troubled by witches. The witches actually met and resolved to scatter the Apostolic Church. This church won't exist here, they vowed.
Pastor I.B. Akinyele ( who became Olubadan in 1955) was the overall leader of the Church in Ibadan while J.S.B.Odusona was the leader of the Ibadan district.
The witches followed their resolutions with action and attacks.
Members of the church began to die. Within few days and weeks four members including children had died.

This is not ordinary.

It was around this time the Church declared a 3- day of fasting for both adults and children to know why.
Then the church was of one mind and people were honest with each other.
God immediately responded through prophecy that He has answered their prayers and giving them victory.

God's victory or blessing is man. If God will bless you or judge you it will still be through a man or a woman.

Then God raised this brother whose name is Babalola, young and energetic.

This brother had a gift that is unique, designed for the time. Specially created by Heaven for the purpose. For lack of a better word I will call the gift - "anti-witchcraft discernment anointing." Whenever witches gather around the circumference of this brother for a meeting he would immediately be hearing everything they are saying or planning.

Since you have been reading Church History have you ever heard of anyone like that? God loves us in Nigeria but Nigerians don't love God. We actually hate Him.

Have mercy upon us O God, we ungrateful and unprofitable servants, wicked sinners, leaders and led, "useful idiots."

Except they didn't gather. Once they gathered in the night or day, in the house or forest he would also be alert and be hearing everything and their resolutions.

He would immediately called the leadership of the church to alert them what the "Boko Haram" was planning. And the Church would do the needful. That way before they acted the church was already waiting for them to thwart them.

So they could no longer kill anyone because everyone was now at alert because of Bro Babalola.

This brother also had one special gift: if you sin at home or fought with your wife or said anything against God or got angry when you came to church he would publicly declare it to your shame.
Not just that. He could see the thoughts of brethren.
Even if the sin happens in your thoughts he would see it and declare it.
That way the Fear of God fell all over the church as everyone, both pastors and members, became afraid of dabbling into sin because it would be revealed publicly in church.
So everyone was on watch out. Sin was eradicated. As sins were eradicated witches could no longer kill anyone because without sin there can be no death and "a curse causeless shall not come."
The witches now saw that their secrets are no longer secrets. Everything they planned is already known by the church even by the next day.
You know these goats don't give up. It is Christians who surrendered and get tired. Children of Satan don't give up. If you beat them one way they will come through another way.

So they went to the drawing board. "Who is he that is revealing their secrets?" Soon they discovered through their members around the church area that it was Babalola.

They now resolved to collectively face this brother. And to fight him to finish, the same way the soldiers of Syria left everyone to face Ahab and the way the armies of Alexander the Great took battle order: "Kill Darius". They placed a price on Babalola's head.

My brethren, dear reader let us not sleep. Let us not slumber. Always rely on the protection of God and constantly watch and pray.
This world is a terrible place and abode of war and the wicked.

"Have respect to the covenant for the dark places of the earth are full of habitations of cruelty."

Brother beware. Pray and pray and trust supremely in God's Mercy.

" Be not high-minded but fear for if God spare not the natural branches take heed lest he spare not thee."

Like that songwriter says:

" Christian seek not yet repose
Hear what the guardian angel say
Thou art in the midst of foes
Watch and pray..."

Always live in the fear of God and don't trust in your flesh or gifts.

The witches sent one of their members as a spy around Brother Babalola to watch him day and night and see his unguarded moments. They were watching him but as you know and as YORUBAS used to say, a person cannot be wiser than the ones watching him.
He was been monitored day and night, in his going out and coming. But he was not aware that eyes were on him. That emissaries of Satan are around him.
They were waiting to catch something that can be used to accuse him before God. Remember Satan is the Accuser of the brethren and so are his servants.

*The Sin*
The prophet cried, "Take from us little foxes, little foxes that spoil the vine.."
Only a little fox is required to spoil a mighty vine. Only a little folly is required to destroy a reputation of donkey years. Only a little sin brought down Babalola that we of today don't get to know him - possibly one who would have become one of the greatest giants of the Apostolic Faith in this nation.

How?

One day people were discussing, gisting, gossiping about another person. Lightness, talkativeness are a sign of prayerlessness. "Because in the multitude of words there wanteth not sin."
"If any man seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue such man's religion is vain."
Back to Babalola.
Quite unfortunately and very sadly Bro Babalola also contributed to the talk of another person, tale, the gossip, backbite...
It was a little sin that we of today won't even count to be sin.
When I tell you that this generation is lost, this Fatherless Generation, many of you usually think I am exaggerating. Think of how many times you talk of another person behind them for evil? Even in churches pastors plot against each other's. Elders backbite about each other even inside the church or after service.
Think of how many times you make comments about a person that you won't make in their presence? We don't regard such as sin today because we are lost. Your churches are lost. Unless the mercies of God send a revival in this generation many Nigerians will be lost eternally, if the Bible is not in error.
Backbiting, tale bearing, ...

It is sin.

That was what Babalola did.

He didn't commit fornication.
He didn't steal church money.
He never dabbled into Occult like many Nigerian bishops and pastors looking for power today.
He didn't fight nor get angry.
Just a little comment about another person at his back that is not constructive.

Little sin...
Little fox that will destroy this mighty vine of God's power and anointing.

The witches got what they were looking for.

Evidence.

Exhibit.

Witches are like police, in actual fact they are the police of the Occult Kingdom. Just as a policeman cannot arrest you without breaking the law they too are powerless if you stay within legal boundaries of God's Realm.

The spy went to report.

The witches were summoned, the famed powers of the night.

They gathered, the children of perdition and woe - the ones who slay without drawing swords.

"I heard Babalola backbite against another person... I heard it. I hereby witness against him that he has sinned. By the law of his God he ought to die because the soul that sins must die."

They passed judgement against God's servant because of sin and God watched them and did nothing. So that He can bring them to total ruin.
Sometimes God allows the enemies to succeed briefly so they can brag so that through that success He can bring a final total failure.

Immediately the witches raised a force to strike him.

*The Attack*

The witches came against Bro Babalola to take his life. But not so easy.
The Angel of the Lord, his guardian Angel came before him and the witches to stop them.

I hope you know that every true believer in Christ has a guardian angel.
I have one, a mighty being whom God has sent to be watching over me through my journey in this world and I have several of them around me because I am a believer in Christ and also a messenger of the Last Days.

"The Angel of the Lord encampeth round those who fear him and delivereth them."

Thus when the witches came the angel stood between them and Babalola to prevent the attack.

Immediately these messengers of Satan with boldness told the angel, " Isn't it written in the Bible that whoever commit sins is a servant of the Devil?"

The Angel nodded.

" So Babalola has sinned. We heard him backbiting against another person. So you cannot stop us from judging him'".

Brother, pastor, evangelists, apostle, bishops, be careful Satan knows the Bible and his servants know it more than some of us.

At this word the angel left because angels act on words. They can be empowered and disempowered by words. They need words to operate.

As soon as the angel departed the witches fell upon him. They attacked him.

*The Death of a Saint*

Brother Babalola fell into sickness immediately. A serious sickness from which he did not recover.

However he saw and realized his fault and sins and begged for forgiveness from God. He made peace with God His Maker and reconciled his way before God.
His last days were glorious.
God decided to give him a red carpet treatment.
He was enjoying heaven even while on earth. He was describing heaven to brethren around him and everyone desired to see and enter such a glorious place. He made it clear to the brethren that Heaven indeed is real and they should strive to get there.
With great glory, singing and joy Babalola entered into the Everlasting Glory, the Land of the Pure and True where there are no parting seas or interposing mountains.

The departure of Babalola brought great tears and sorrow to the Church but only for a short time.
Just like the death of Stephen to the early Church. But it was that death that brought Paul to the Kingdom who singlehandedly tore the kingdom of Satan
Soon God raised another woman from the same congregation with a higher gifts...and through her completely destroyed the strongholds of witchcraft. And through that raised s mighty trumpet against witchcraft, the terror of witches himself.

*Conclusion*

My brethren, sin is dangerous. Run away from sin. Abstain from all appearance of sin. And if you fall into it quickly ask Him for forgiveness and make your way right with God. We have a Mediator, Redeemer Who is sitting at the Right Hand of God to interceed for us.
There is no little sin or big sin. Sin is sin. Whether it is stealing public funds or armed robbery, it is sin. It is Nigeria that distinguishes one from the other, God doesn't.
And if you have not reconciled with God through His Son Jesus Christ kindly do so. It is dangerful now to be without God and without His Protection.

I also hope you know that BROOM is witchcraft and occultism spiritually? We are under broom administration!

Reconcile with God today. Deal thoroughly with sin. It is a killer.

Have a wonderful day.

Share and follow.

Some men can be this wicked? Building house for their sidekicks when the children suffers at home!

Thank you Jesus!

Grace so amazing!

Sometimes, to win in life, you must give up your winning CARD!

*Austin Jay Jay Okocha's lesson!*.
*When he received one of his awards recently, Okocha dedicated it to a certain ... Victor Agbo
Then said: "Yes I am a great footballer and all my success is due to my friend Victor good heart" People looked at one another and said, "Who is this Mr. Agbo?"*

*Then Okocha went on: "We played together in a youth team. When Enugu Rangers recruiters came to observe us, they told us that the striker who scored the most goals will be recruited into the sports academy.*

*That day we won 3-0. I scored the first goal and then Victor scored the 2nd with the head. And then the 3rd goal was the one that impressed everyone. Victor started from the wing, then found himself face to face with the keeper, dribbled the goalkeeper and all he had to do was to push the ball into the empty goal post . In the meantime I was running to his side and instead of shooting into the empty goal post, Victor decided to pass the ball to me and I scored. This is how I found myself at the Enugu Rangers youth team. After the game I went to him, and asked him "why did you do that?" And he replied, "Because I know that you are better than I am and You will go far in life in this game, you needed that push* "

*Curious to know more, the journalists began to investigate and were able to meet this Victor Agbo to ask him if the story told by Okocha is true, and he confirmed it, adding that his career as a footballer ended after that match as it was the only opportunity to become professional but i was sure Okocha would go far and do better. So I remained unemployed fulfilled and happy.*

*However, journalists, observing his luxurious house and his fleet of cars parked in the garage asked Victor "but being unemployed how could you have such a house and cars and living so luxuriously? You seem rather comfortable physically " Victor's answer: "All that? .. is Okocha ".*

*Moral of this story:
Let us ask ourselves the following question: How many of us have ever done something like Okocha and Victor? On the contrary, many of us show the opposite of this story displaying selfishness and ingratitude.*

*Friends! Let's help one another to succeed, don't think blocking that intelligent, talented and good fellow can add to your ordained destiny. You can not go nor have beyond what God has destined for you. Helping another person to succeed can only make your life better and above all guarantee a blissful hereafter for you.*

*Victor might not have made it big like Okocha, and Okocha might still have made it in another way but Victor wouldn't have had access to such Luxury. You see life! Open your heart and broaden your thinking. Be an abundant mentality personality. God will always be there at your own point of need too.*

*And when we help a person to succeed, the latter must never forget those who contributed to his success. Whether they forget or not, God doesn't abandon His own.
*Above all, we should never forget that God is watching and He will judge us.*
*Life is all about Your CONTRIBUTION and never about your POSSESSION!*

IT'S AROUND THE CORNER!

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said the 2023 presidential election is between the Labour Party, LP, candidate, Peter Obi, and his counterpart from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

In a report by Daily Post, Primate Ayodele declared that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, was out of the race for the 2023 presidential election.

According to the report, Ayodele noted that God would decide who emerges as Nigeria’s next president, stressing that God would not look at any religion or zone in deciding the next occupant of A*o Villa.

“2023 is between Peter Obi and Atiku; they are the ones struggling for it. I don’t see Tinubu getting anywhere. These are the two people seriously struggling for the 2023 election,” Ayodele said.

“Nigerians must be careful with the 2023 elections because anything can happen; the election may cause problems or chaos, and it’s more sensitive than what we have seen before.

“God is not looking at religion or any zone, and he does not want a Muslim-Muslim ticket. God will pick between these two candidates that are struggling; it’s a big struggle. The struggle as it is now is between Obi and Atiku.

“Nigeria is going to be better but not total; Nigeria is damaged, and they will only get to put it back. The next government would be better [than the current one].

“People will come out en mass to vote, BVAS will be a major problem and INEC must work on it, INEC doesn’t want to rig. It’s going to be a very credible election, but there may be some fighting. However, the election will not be a usual election.”
