Jesus Christ died for us all. He died for everyone. That all mankind may be saved from eternal condemnation. Therefore, let no man make you feel lest of yourself. Don't ever go with the mindset that it's only when one particular person prays for you that you'll be redeemed. Don't ever feel that someone else is more powerful than you. When it comes to Christ Jesus and Salvation, we are all equal with equal inheritance.
Ephesians 3:6
'that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel'.
Everyone is equal in the sight of God. Believe in Jesus Christ and put all your faith in him alone and everything you ask of him will be done.

This is the last day of the year 2023. Enter this new year with a fresh mindset. A positive mindset that Christ Jesus has paid the ultimate price with his life for your salvation. He has saved you from eternal condemnation, from the sons of darkness, from all curses and incantation and therefore even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, nothing can come close to harming you. Don't enter this fresh year with the mindset that you have to make extra sacrifices to be protected, or you have to give money to anyone before you can be saved or you have to pay any money before things will start getting better for you. You don't need anyone. One with God is majority.
Enter this new year with this verse in the scripture ;
For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20-21).

As long as you're no longer a newbie in the christian faith you ought to understand what salvation means. Therefore don't allow any human come between you and your faith in Christ Jesus. No human is perfect, so don't look up to any human for your salvation or else you'll be doomed. Look unto Christ Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Listen and learn from him alone. When it comes to salvation, gospel and faith any human rank or authority does not matter and likewise what they think or feel. All that matters is you and your faith in Christ Jesus. If you want to learn something or you need an inspiration, read the scriptures and ask the holy spirit to guide you. If you follow any man, you may be misled and on judgement day remember that the person will not answer for you. It is between you, and God the father. So in anything you do, I'll advise you to look unto Christ Jesus alone no one else.

Once you're in Christ Jesus you'll no longer be afraid of the world or anything else. He'll automatically give you the spirit to be more than a conqueror. The believe or Faith of others around you or what they say or do can no longer affect your relationship with Christ Jesus. Because he personally will not let you go astray. These were his own words,
John 10 : 26
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

John 10 : 27
I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can sn**ch them away from me.

John 10 : 28
What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can sn**ch them away from the Father's care.

Once you're in Christ Jesus, once you sincerely give your life to him and love him with all your heart, you shall never perish and no one, not even the devil himself can touch you or sn**ch you away from him. Believe in him and your soul shall be healed.

In all sincerity, there is only one thing we're supposed to think about and carry in our heart always. At this time when a lot of people are going back to idolatry, we're supposed to carry Christ Jesus and his commandment of love on our forehead. Don't let them convince you to worship their idols with them or seek any sort of help from their idols rather, help them to receive salvation so that they can be saved from eternal condemnation. Salvation is not tasking. It doesn't require you to constantly pay any kind of money to anyone. Or do any kind of work to please anyone.
Romans 10:9-11
9. That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
Acts 4:12
Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.”

Salvation is not too difficult or complex as some people may make it seem. Just confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God sent Jesus to die for you. When you know the truth, you will surely be free. Free from all bo***ge including the bo***ge of sin.
So run to Jesus Christ today wether you are a church goer or not. Make sure you have truly found him and have truly accepted him. For it is only him that has the power to save you.

Placing all your trust and hope in a human is the greatest mistake you can ever make. They'll surely disappoint you even when you lest expect. When God wants to lift you up, he will through men. But don't always worship and hope on the tool used forgetting the main source of your upliftment. Don't let anyone sway you into following or believing in something else just for fame or money. Believe firmly in the one true God. Put all your hope and trust in him even in the most difficult situations. There are certain practices you should stay away from. Let no man convince you to do certain spiritual or physical things. Jesus Christ has paid the whole price with his own life. There is no sacrifice, divination or incantation anyone can make for your success or protection that is greater than the price the one true son of God paid on the cross for you.
Please, do not be deceived. Jesus Christ has paid it all!!!

We are sons of light. God has called us to himself. He sacrificed his one true son, Jesus Christ that all who believe may be reconciled to him. He did this without our consent. It is not by our works that we are saved but by the grace of God. Now as sons of God, it is not okay to hide our various talents and gifts. Let us use the various gifts and talents God has freely given us to draw all men (especially unbelievers) to him. Some of us can pray, some can heal, some can see vision, some of us are good singers, some of us are good actors, some are good speakers, some are very intelligent, some of us are very beautiful or handsome while some of us are very creative. No matter how dull you think you are, there must be some gifts God has given you. We are not of this world, so don't use your gifts for worldly pleasures or accumulations rather use your gifts to the glory of God the father, the owner of the entire universe.

As children of God and Sons of light, we have to apply wisdom during these trying times. We ought to always ask God for the spirit of discernment so we don't make the wrong choices. The devil always moves around like a roaring lion looking for whom to devour. The devil always want to steal, to kill and to destroy. And this devil may want to use those that are closest to us to bring us down. But we have to be wise. We have to be spiritually ready and equipped. The devil tries to steal our joy and happiness, if we still give it a chance, it doesn't just stop there, it tries to take away our properties, life savings and all we have worked for. Then after that, it tries to get our soul. But don't give the devil a chance. There are some friends you should cut off. People who add no value to you but are just there in your life to only consume and try to bring you down. Cut off people who are never happy when you tell them a good news in your life. All they want to hear are the bad things happening to you. Cut off people who don't value your happiness, they always love seeing you furious and worked up. Cut off people who are very selfish with their earnings but want you to always spend yours on useless things and never encourage you to save for your future.
Yes you are saved, yes you are co heirs with Christ. But while on earth, you have to be very wise. Because the sons of darkness are also full of wisdom and they will go to any extent to wreck you. Before you party, think. Before you hang out, think. Before you spend any dime you have worked very hard for, think very well.
Don't say it's too difficult to let those people that are not of value to you go. Don't say they have already become a part of you. Amos 3:3 says Can two walk together, except they be agreed?. Please kindly disagree. Be wise!! Prioritize your own happiness, peace of mind and your future.

As a Christian, all you need to do is to continue being faithful to God in every situation (wether good or bad). And to have a firm believe that God has reconciled you to himself by sending his beloved son Jesus Christ to die on the cross and be used as a sacrificial lamb to wipe away all our sins.
If you are faithful to God and you firmly believe in the price Jesus Christ paid for your sins on the cross, then you are perfect. Because you have been made perfect by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is the good news. This is salvation. Don't let any man try to convince you further that you are not perfect and you have to do certain things for God to love you or bless you. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. They'll forecast dreams for you and may tell you your problems and they want you to start seeing them as god. Then they start demanding material things from you.
Please don't be deceived. God loves you the way you are and without your consent, he sent his son to die and grant you eternal life.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
So next time they come trying to convince you that you are not perfect. Ask them then why did God choose to come to earth in form of man to die for me??

If you find yourself in a very high position amongst men today. If you are excelling more than your peers. If the Lord Almighty has chosen to bless you so much that although everyone around is in despair but you are always joyous. If God has shown you mercy and lifted you up, please, try not to oppress other people. If you choose not to help them fine, nobody can blame you for the choice you make for yourself but please in the name of God, do not oppress others. Oppression can be in many forms. Whatever form it is, kindly desist from such.
Genesis 22: 22. You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. 23. If you do afflict them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry; 24. and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.
That position you find yourself today that you don't want anyone else around you to breathe. You always make people feel less of themselves, always boasting here and there. Just know that it is God that put you there and it is not by your power or because you are so much better than others, or you are more intelligent or brave. It is just by the grace of God. So instead of oppressing others, help them but if you choose not to help, just lock up, be always grateful to God and let the poor breathe.

Let us stop breeding evil in our hearts. Our body and soul is for God. Our body is the temple of the holy spirit. While seeking for money and fame which are irrelevant to the kingdom of God, let us not give out ourselves to the devil. Let's not sell our souls to the devil. The economy is hard yes. You can hardly feed now yes. But I beg you in Christ's name. Don't do evil to survive. Don't give the devil a chance to have a say over your life and to control your life. If you sell your soul to him because of hardship, you will automatically become his. He will torment you all the remaining days of your life and you shall perish in hell. But if you keep your body and soul for God and wait on him, he will surely bless you and your children here on earth and you shall be with him in heaven. Jesus Christ said 'Give to Caeser what is Caeser's and give to God what belongs to God' (Matthew 22:21). Your body and soul belongs to God. You body should be used to glorify his name amongst men here on earth while your soul will be re united with him when you die. Apart from these two, feel free to give to Caeser whatever is his.

Everyone has different life stories. Everyone has different goals and purpose for existence. God himself who created you, formed you and put you in your mother's womb without your knowledge, he has a reason for putting you in the family you came from. Focus on your own purpose and live a life of fulfilment. People have different goals and purposes. Some people get fulfilled when they preach the gospel to the unbelievers and they repent and turn to Jesus Christ. To some people, once they travel abroad they became happy and fulfilled. But if you go there without a purpose you just want to go because your friend travelled. After arriving there, you may find it very difficult to cope. Another person might get a good job here in Nigeria and he is fulfilled. Another person may start a good business here and he's fulfilled. Another person's source of happiness and joy may just be to stay close to his/her loved ones and help his/her family. For another, it may just be to keep doing charity with whatever resources at his/her disposal.
We are all different. With different goals and different purposes. Don't let anyone oppress you about anything. Identify your goal and purpose in life and find positive things that make you happy and fulfilled and work towards them. The fact is, that person trying to oppress you with whatever achievements he/she might have gotten, his/her level is just someone else's starting point. So don't allow them get to you with their noise on social media. Just have a plan. Those positive things you earnestly desire even if it's completely different from what everyone else wants for you. Work towards them. It is your life. If you try to live someone else's life or live the life they want you to live, what will happen when all those people are no longer around you and it's just you. Will you be fulfilled with the life you've lived?
Even if what you really want is difficult to get, go to God in prayer always.
John 14:13-17
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-17.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Luke 11:9-10
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Whenever we hear Satan, we rebuke him, we try to do everything to run away from him. We picture him as the worst creature in the entire universe. We detest him and always connect him to every bad thing happening to us. But sadly, most of us are that Satan we try to run from. When we try to stop the will of God we can be that Satan we're constantly running from. In Mathew 16:23, Jesus Christ turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
But ironically, in the verse 17 of same chapter Jesus Christ had earlier blessed Peter for being the only disciple who rightfully knew who Jesus Christ truly was.
So brethren, let us not by any means allow the Satan use us as a stumbling block to the work of God. In everything we do, let us first think about the will of God Almighty not the will of men or the flesh or our own selfish interest. Think about God always. The one who gives you life, who makes you to see, talk, walk, eat, breath and do other life processes freely. Think about him always. Let all your talent, wealth and resources glorify his name. He is all that matters. The work of God is always good for his people. God's plan is the best.
But if you keep on trying to stop the work of God and do things for your selfish interest only which is of no gain to the kingdom of God, then you don't have to keep praying against Satan cause you're only praying against yourself.
Cyber fraud is against the will of God for his people. You keep enriching yourself whilst making life miserable for others who have truly worked hard but just fell victim of your wicked scheme. If you're reading this and that is what you do for a living I pray you have a change of heart and start doing something decent which is in line with the will of God for his people.
There are so many other things we do which is against the will of God for his people. We know them. I pray God gives us the grace and courage to separate ourselves from those things. Amen.

We may claim to be a free nation. We may truly be free from colonialism. We may be a free people by the grace of God. But it's so sad that the minds of so many of us is stilled enslaved. If you think you can never be truly happy without having the latest cars, mansions and going on luxurious trips then you are still a slave to those things. If you count your peers better than you because of the material things they have and you are always sad about that, then I'm sorry but you're still a slave to those things. Let us free ourselves free these things that don't really matter. As we celebrate Independence day today. May God give you true happiness and freedom from whatever is enslaving you. Amen

As long as the source of your Joy comes from things of this world and pleasurable things, you will continue to be truly unhappy. Because all these in it's entirety cannot fully satisfy the soul. If you are rich and you don't have Jesus Christ in your life, your life is meaningless. If you're poor and you still don't have Jesus Christ in your life, your life is both miserable and meaningless at the same. But if you have Jesus Christ in your life, wether rich or poor you are truly a happy man and nothing at all can ever take your joy away. Instead of seeking wealth that doesn't lasts, seek the Lord with all your heart. Hunger and thirst for his righteousness. Let Jesus Christ be glorified both in your life and death. Run the race as though the reward is in heaven because you can't win here on earth. If you think when you become rich you become free from all the troubles on earth then you are very ignorant a person. This place is very cruel and it's not our home. Love God will all your heart and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.

In our society today, there is so much greed, pride and envy than there is love. This is what is making us suffer in this country today. One person desperately wants to have everything. And when he successfully acquires it, he doesn't want anyone around him to be like him or richer than him and then he refuses to help his brethren he can comfortably help. You are a multi millionaire both in cash and asset and your brother or sister or far relative or close neighbor just need a hundred thousand to start a small scale business but you swear in your mind that you won't help because you think they'll be greater than you. You prefer using your money to do very useless things that only you know instead of investing on people even if it means them paying you back when their business is going fine. You are a pastor, a multi millionaire, many of your church members especially women and youths are poor and finding it hard to feed and your common sense did not tell you to find a solution and help them first because they'll understand the gospel better when their mental health is fine. In the book of Matthew 14. Jesus saw the large crowd following him, he had compassion on them. He knew food was important for their bodies and so he fed them.
Let's stop waiting for the government and NGOs. If you comfortably can, kindly feed the hungry around you, help people with start up capital, employ the youths or recommend them. Let love lead in this country and I promise you all this greed, envy, gluttony, pride and jealousy will end.

Jeremiah felt the Lord had seduced him. He felt the Lord had deceived and Forsaken him. In the book of Jeremiah chapter 20, he was very bitter. He even cursed the day he was born. All these because of the challenges he was facing. But one thing was certain. He couldn't run away from God's call. He served him facing those challenges till his death.
Many of us may have the thought of turning our back on God just because of the mere challenges we face today. The absence of Food, Cloth, or Shelter may be making us turn deaf ears to the word of God. I want you to understand that it shall not profit you to gain the whole world and loss your soul. It doesn't mean God will not sort your needs. But don't allow them come between you and him. Seek his Kingdom first and every other thing will be yours. There is literally nothing you can exchange for your soul.
I pray that God will grant us the grace to always listen and obey him when he gives us a task to fulfill. Amen

God is incomparable. God is powerful. His wisdom and knowledge is immeasurable. He has no adviser or counselor and he is indebted to no one.
No man has ever seen God. And no man can fully understand the way of God. You may see a broad road with so much luxury and decide to follow that way thinking it's best for you. But it may end up leading to your destruction. You may also see a narrow way with so much suffering but in God's plan for you, it will lead to your victory.
Isaiah:55.9
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

No one tells God what to do. You can only make a request and then he considers. He chooses to make a poor man rich. He chooses to make a servant become king. He chooses to make a nobody become his prophet. It is solely his choice. If you think it is by your hard work, intelligence, physical strength or by your human connection that you are winning today, then you're just a fool.
Everything about us is in the hands of God. Our life and our health is His.
I feel for any man who places his confidence in his wealth, who find comfort and solace in his riches. One day, in a blink of an eye, he will surely realize that his riches cannot save him. But I pray it will not be late for him by then. Amen

Generally, many people have the illusion that fake items are very cheap and original items are very expensive. But the truth is fake items are more expensive because they keep spoiling and you keep buying the same item over and over again to replace the spoilt one. But that is not the case for an original item. Once you buy it, you will use it and enjoy it for a very long time without having to quickly replace it.
The reason why many people have this illusion is because they haven't even tried buying an original item for once. Once they hear the price of the original item they frown their faces and go for the cheaper one (which will later cost them more on the long run).
The only way you can know and firmly believe in Christ Jesus is if you have an encounter with him or if you have experienced him personally. If all you know about Jesus Christ is what you hear on the pulpit then many atheist and unbelievers will come and convince you to believe otherwise. This is the reason why alot of people are going back to the traditional worshipping of idols. They never had an experiential knowledge of Jesus Christ. Because there is truly no way you will experience the power of Jesus Christ in your life and decide to turn your back later on.
In Mathew 16:13, Mark 8:27, and Luke 9:18 Jesus Christ asked his disciples, who do people say I am? Almost all his disciples responded to the question. But when Jesus Christ personalized it and asked who do you say I am? Only Peter could respond. Who is Jesus Christ to you? Are you just hearing about him or you know him and have experiential knowledge of him. Give him a chance in your life and you will never regret it.
May Jesus Christ keep revealing his self to us and keep strengthening our faith. Amen.

Peter was able walk on water like Jesus Christ. But he couldn't do it for long. Why? Because he allowed fear creep into his heart. He started become doubtful and so he started sinking.
There is one thing we have to understand for sure. There is nothing God can not do. But the question is, do we have the *faith* to believe he can do it? The early apostles continued performing tremendous miracles even after Jesus' death and resurrection. In the name of Jesus Christ, Peter and John made a lame man walk (Acts 3). In Acts 9:36-42, Peter raised Tabitha (Dorcas) who was dead back to life with the power of Jesus Christ.
Why are such sincere miracles now very scarce within the body of Christ today? Are we leaning more on our own knowledge today and drifting away from total faith and dependence on God? Those of us that still have such gift, is our heavenly father being glorified through your gifts or are you using it for your own fame and self glorification?
Let us pray that our faith and hope in God and his son Jesus Christ will continue to be firm to stand the test of time and all the devices of the enemy. Amen.

Before Jesus was arrested, he said a very important prayer. In John Chapter 17, he prayed that his followers will be one as He and his Father are one. He repeated this prayer three times in that same chapter. This shows that the unity or oneness of Christians all over the world is of paramount importance to the kingdom of God. However, it is very sad that there has been a lot of division and separation amongst christians even before you and I were born. But what is more sad is that Christians can no longer worship, pray or fellowship together because of the segregation amongst us. And sadly also too, some church heads or pastors now publicly utter very negative speeches about other different churches and her members which is also the same body of Jesus Christ they worship.
When St Paul saw what St Peter and some other apostles were doing that was wrong (Galatians Chapter 2). He confronted them and made them understand that what was and is vital is our faith in Christ Jesus, nothing else. St Paul didn't break away and open another church when he perceived what was happening. This was because he clearly understood that it wasn’t about him but Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God. They addressed that particular issue that bothered him and continued spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ with one voice and one central message; Jesus Christ and the Salvation he has brought to man.
If we can take away politics, selfishness and our various differences, we will see that it is our faith in God and his one begotten son Jesus Christ our savior that matters. Therefore, the church of Christ Jesus is meant to be one. Christians are meant to fellowship together. But if christians cannot worship together, can we at least stop condemning each other?
Church heads should lead their members to Christ Jesus and be careful so as not to make their members see them as God. Remember what St Paul said in 1st Corinthians chapter 3
1 Corinthians:3.4
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?
1 Corinthians:3.5
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe-- as the Lord has assigned to each his task.
We are all sons of God. No one is bigger and no one is smaller in the eyes of God our father. A lot of churches are springing up everyday especially in this part of Africa but most of them are deviating from the central message which is the reconciliation of men to God through his son, Jesus Christ our lord.

My prayer is that the followers of Christ will be one. Will have one voice. Will bury all their differences and be united once again like the early church. Through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Popeliuzy cares ✌️

Kindly share if you don't mind

Our eyes should be looking onto the kingdom of God. Our mindset should revolve around the kingdom of God. Our goal should be to gain the kingdom of God. When we do business, we should also spread out the gospel to our customers. When we work to earn a living, we should not be shy or ashamed to tell our colleagues about Jesus Christ our savior. When we are invited for birthday parties, wedding feast, or any kind of celebration, let us share the gospel of Christ in these occasions. As a matter of fact, the first miracle performed by Jesus Christ was in a wedding feast. So don't be shy to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ anywhere you find yourself.
Matthew:10.32
"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.
Matthew:10.33
But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
