Our sisters are using it for fashion same as our brothers ☹️

Many of them do not even know the name of the rank they are wearing 😓

I was in a parish some years ago, I saw one of our sister in the Lord, and I was instructed to get her name for something tangible, so I asked for her rank, Aunty said. "she is wearing S/L, I asked Aunty, what's S/L? She can't tell the rank she was putting on (Senior elder sister ni Aunty wọ o😊)

I met a honorary senior Evangelist, that couldn't conduct service. I was like , ki lo nsẹlẹ....... And all of you putting on Àgbàdá And Amure 🙄

Our Anointment cloth is for Iṣẹ (work)

On getting to that parish, the Prophets of that parish were busy, Olùṣọ said mummy wa , ẹyin náà ẹ wa ṣiṣe fún Olúwa".
They put aunty for spirit, Aunty no fit talk anything,, even song she no gree sing. Shame do me that day..... They asked of our parish. I replied Olùṣọ with shame, say "I don't know sir"
(because we don't worship in the same parish)🤷
Baba laughed while I was crying inside 😰

Stop collecting this Oye, when you know you are not ripe for it 👌🏼.......
Some will say Oye (Anointment) no reach Heaven, a very big lie. Dreamers and visioniers should come out and tell me, that Oye no reach Heaven, (I stand to be corrected)💯%

some of you using 3cross,,,,, in the spirit realm your rank no pass one cross👌🏼

Some of us putting on Àgbàdá,.... Your rank for spirit realm no pass Adena's one cross✍️

KINGDOM Series 2

KINGDOM OF GOD: DEFINED

The heart of Jesus’ teachings during His earthly ministry centers on the theme of the Kingdom of God.
He introduced it, emphasized it, preached and taught it so often. He equally demonstrated the lifestyle of the Kingdom for all to see and commanded His first disciples to go and preach, live and demonstrate the gospel of the Kingdom to the world.
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”. (Matthew 4:17). And He declared unequivocally that “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36).

However, this Kingdom message/theme that is at the heart of Jesus’ life, ministry and teaching is largely unknown, misunderstood or outrightly neglected by majority of Christians, churches and church leaders of modern times. The Bible says; “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever”. (Heb. 13:8) We need to urgently reexamine, reflect and realign our lives to Kingdom values and realities again.

A. Kingdom Misconceptions

Over the years since the ascension of Jesus to heaven, there had been numerous misconceptions, teachings and postulations by several schools of thought concerning the true meaning of the kingdom of God. Various teachers at various times have taught that the kingdom of God means:-

1. Political Kingdom

The Jews expected that the first coming of Jesus was meant to bring the kingdom back to Israel; to destroy their enemies, dislodge the Romans and Jesus becomes their political leader; (Amos 9:14; Zechariah 8:4). They even attempted to make Him their King (John 6:14-15).
Many still believe, due to this misconception that Jesus is still only for the Jews and will come back for them only.

2. Literally, Physical Kingdom

The belief that the kingdom of God is to literally take over the earth, govern the nations, by forming political parties. Therefore, Christians and preachers are to become political leaders, government officials and rule the nations on behalf of Jesus now. Some have formed communes and teach that it is kingdom of God – separate from the populace. That's why lots of sincere believers with this view join political parties to rule and administer their nations.

3. Futuristic Kingdom – Matthew 6:9-11

This is the misconception that the kingdom is only futuristic. It is believed that the kingdom will be in heaven and we cannot attain it now or know the true kingdom now (Daniel 2:44-45). People with this perception believe that only few people can get to and enjoy the kingdom of God when it will eventually come.
All these misconceptions have served to cloud the true meaning of Jesus kingdom from the understanding and lifestyle of many modern believers.

B. KINGDOM DEFINED – Luke 17:20-21; Luke 19:12-15; Mark 10:15; Matt. 6:33

The world understands kingdom largely in terms of geographical areas over which a sovereign king exercises authority. For instance, United Kingdom, Kingdom of Swaziland, Kingdom of Thailand, Saudi Arabia etc. These are geographical territories that kings rule over. But in Biblical terms, it is the rule and reign of Christ in the heart of men and women.. Both in Old and New Testament, the term “Kingdom” (Malkut in Hebrew, Basileia in Greek) refers primarily to the rule and reign of a king. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is the:-

✓ Rule and reign of Christ within.
✓ Accepting Christ into your heart.
✓ Surrending to the Lordship of Christ.
✓ Making Christ the Lord of every thing.
✓ Letting Christ rule, reign and obeying Him.
✓ Letting the Lordship of Christ shine into our environment.
✓ Christ showing forth His power into our communities.
✓ Obedience to Christ and doing God’s will in every area of living.

The Kingdom of God is accessed through genuine repentance, inviting Christ within (Matt. 4:17; Matt. 6:33). Christ within will shine forth to others (Col. 1:27). The singular purpose of the kingdom in both heart and life is “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven” in all ramifications (Matt. 6:10). If you accept Christ as Saviour, but not yet totally surrender to His Lordship and Kingship in every area of your life, you are not yet in His kingdom.

C. Present and Future Kingdom

In balanced scriptural understanding, the kingdom of God is both “now and not yet”. Thus, the Kingdom of God is real and present in one sense, and yet consistent and future in another sense.

i. The Kingdom Is Present Now – Luke 11:28; Matt. 12:28; Rom. 9:31;
2 Cor. 10:14; Phil. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:16.

In these scriptures, the Kingdom has arrived through Jesus. The devil has been defeated on the cross, miracles are happening, the new covenant has been instituted, outcasts are being gathered (Matt. 11:46) and end of Law and Prophets and the arrival of the Messiah (1 Cor. 11:25). The long-awaited banquet of the Messiah had begun (Luke 14:15-24). The Kingdom of God is now present in their midst. (Luke 17:20-21). The Holy Spirit is poured out and still in the world (Rom. 14:17).

ii. The Kingdom Is Future Also – Luke 11:2; Matt. 7:21-23; Mark 14:25; Daniel 2:44-45

The Kingdom of God also has a future aspect. The future aspect is resurrection of the dead, final judgment of believers (2 Cor. 5:10) and sinners (Rev. 20) and Millenial reign of Christ and New heaven, new earth, where righteousness dwells (Matt. 5:19-20; 8:11-12; 25:31-46; Dan. 7:13-14; Luke 1:32-33; 2 Peter 1:11).

Since the Kingdom of God is both now and not yet, the believer must therefore be on guard against the danger of emphasizing one aspect of the kingdom at the expense of the other. The “now and the not yet” must be held in constant tension. Believers can rejoice in having passed from death into life and in the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, but we must not forget to look longingly toward the blessed hope (Titus 2:13), when the Son of Man will return and bring the kingdom to its consummation.

D. The King Over The Kingdom

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the King over the spiritual Kingdom of God. He announced that the Kingdom of God had come in Him.

“But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.” - Matthew 12:28

✓ He invaded this earth to destroy the kingdom of Satan and set everything right. - 1 John 3:8; Acts 10:38

✓ He is given authority and power by the Father – John 12:31; John 5:20-23

✓ Jesus is co-equal with God. He is the very Son of God and possesses the same attributes like the Father. He is the second Person in the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

✓ He left heaven with the permission of His Father to earth so as to live, and died as full man, full God and resurrected triumphantly over sin, Satan and the world, in order to set man free from the bo***ge of sin and Satan.

✓ He came to take back the spiritual authority that the first Adam sold into the hand of Satan. Where the first Adam failed, Jesus as the last Adam succeeded - Romans 5:17-19

✓ Jesus as the King over the Kingdom of God will rule and reign forever in power and authority – Daniel 7:13-14, 17.

✓ He will reign until all enemies are subdued - 1 Corinthians 15:24-25; Psalm 110:1-2

✓ He will overcome and prevail and then hand over everything into the hand of the Father – 1 Corinthians 15:24-25.

✓ Since His first coming and vicarious death on the cross and triumphant resurrection (Colossians 2:15) Christ has set up His kingdom in the heart of men and women. He is the king of hearts. He takes residence in the hearts that are opened to Him and rule and reign there – Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:27

✓ He rules and reigns in the hearts of people across nations, languages, groups and kingdoms of men.

✓ He will surely reign now and throughout eternity and will slay those who are His enemies - Luke 12:27

✓ Today, He is the Lamb on the throne, willing to save, heal and deliver. But in the kingdom of heaven, He will be the Lion that will kill, devour and destroy all His enemies.

✓ There is no kingdom without a king and Jesus is the undisputed King of God’s kingdom, both now and in eternity.

There is no way to have His kingdom in your heart and life if you don’t submit to His Lordship over your life and hearts. He must be the king over your life and living. You must believe in Him and obey Him without question, if you are going to reign with Him here and hereafter. In spite of opposition from satanic kingdom and carnalities of men, Christ is the undisputed King of life and eternity. You may be religious but until you sincerely and genuinely welcome Him into your heart and crown Him the king there, you cannot be a citizen of His kingdom.

KINGDOM SERIES 1

KINGDOM MANDATE

Jesus stated categorically in Matthew chapter 24 verses 14 that; “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come”. It is not any other gospel, but the gospel of the kingdom. That is what we must preach round the world.

A. Gospel of the Kingdom – Mark 1:14; Luke 4:43; 8:1; 16:16; Acts 1:3; Acts 8:12; 20:25; 28:23

Jesus Christ came and proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom. He did not only proclaim it, He demonstrated it. The gospel of the kingdom is to be heard and experienced.

In scriptural sense, what is the gospel of the kingdom?
➢ The gospel of the kingdom is the good news of the coming, suffering, death and triumphant resurrection of Christ.
➢ It is the gospel of repentance from dead works and turning to serve the living God.
➢ It is the gospel of obtaining salvation through belief in the atoning work of Christ and living a holy, righteous, sanctified and Christ-like life in this present world.
➢ It is the gospel of victorious works – Luke 4:18-19.
➢ It is the gospel of power demonstration, demonstrating the power of God over Satan by casting out devils, healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing the lepers and generally performing miracles, signs and wonders. (Matthew 8:14-16; Mark 1:32-34; Acts 10:38).
➢ It is the gospel of heaven, return and eternal kingdom of Christ – Luke 9:1-3; Luke 10:17-19; Acts 10:38.

The miracles, healings and supernatural demonstrations were to authenticate the word that was being spoken. They are to demonstrate the power and presence of God among His people, and the Book of Acts shows that this is what the first disciples did. Kingdom ministers today must preach the kingdom gospel.

Another Gospel

Today, you hear much of the gospel of money, gain, prosperity, fame, feel good and humanistic, secular teachings that dwell much on gaining the ephemeral things of this life than the true gospel of the kingdom.

B. Steps To Proclaiming The Gospel Of The Kingdom

Quite sad that there are many pulpits today that is not proclaiming the kingdom gospel message. They preach other gospel that is crumbs, not the real kingdom emphasis.

1. Become A Kingdom Citizen – Matt. 6:33

You can’t fully preach the kingdom,
▪ If the kingdom is not inside you or you are inside the kingdom.
▪ You can be religious, neck deep in church activities and yet not be in the kingdom. The only entrance to the kingdom is through genuine repentance and renunciation of sins and crowning Jesus as the King of your heart and life.
▪ When Jesus takes up full residence in your heart and you are grounded in Him with fruits of righteousness in your daily lives, then you are a citizen of the kingdom.
▪ Remaining as citizen is not automatic; you must remain in Jesus and be growing in your faith and spiritual life, it is then you can remain as citizen of the kingdom. (Matt. 8:11-12) – Children of the kingdom can be cast out.

2.Live For The Kingdom – Romans 14:17

It is imperative that you demonstrate kingdom lifestyle in your daily living.
✓ You must imbibe the lifestyle of the kingdom, which is victorious living over sin, Satan and sicknesses; holy and righteous living, peace with everybody and joy in the Holy Spirit.
✓ Your life must be different from that of sinners and you must daily show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son. - 1 Peter 2:9.

3.Pray His Kingdom Down – Matt. 6:9-10

Fulfilling our kingdom mandate demands that we must pray constantly for the manifestation of His kingdom in the world.

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” – Matthew 6:10
❖ We must pray down His kingdom into the territories of our lives, churches, communities, families and nations. It must be our urgent and importunate prayers.

❖ The degree of the manifestation of His kingdom in the world is determined by the degree of our prayers for it. It must therefore be our heart and hard cry every time.

4.Seek His Kingdom:

You must seek His kingdom in all you do. Seek to promote His kingdom and live for Him.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” – Matthew 6:33

To seek His kingdom is;
• To be heavenly minded in all your doings.
• It is to be spiritually minded and hold things of this life loosely.
• It is to be free from worldliness and worldly pleasures.
• It is to be focused on eternal issues and not mind earthly things.
• It is to lay your treasures in heaven and don’t allow your hearts to be filled with the gold, dust and pleasure of this world.
• You seek His kingdom when you consider the reproaches of Christ to be of greater riches than the treasures of Egypt because you seek for a city whose builder and maker is God.

5.Preach His Kingdom:

The kingdoms of this world will surely pass and wear away; the empires of men will crumble and be forgotten; only His kingdom will last.

“Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.” – Psalm 72:11, 17

6.Build His Kingdom:

You build His kingdom by getting people converted and discipling them for Him.

7.Get Ready For His Kingdom:

You can fulfill your kingdom mandate when you watch and pray to get ready for His future kingdom.

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” – Matthew 24:13

21 THINGS PASTORS/MINISTERS NEED TO STOP NOW!

Dear Pastor/Ministers of the Gospel,

I love you. I want nothing more than for you to be all that God wants you to be. So this might hurt a little.

I’m writing you this letter because I have noticed a few things that we have fallen into saying or doing that don’t represent Christ well and they are bringing the gospel into disrepute!.
With all due respect, please stop the followings:

1. Stop pretending you are holier than thou.

Jesus is perfect. You aren’t yet. Let us see your humanity. Share your mistakes with us. It gives us hope to know that even the pastor doesn’t always get it right. It also gives us the courage to be honest about our faults,too and hope to strive for the perfection of Jesus Christ.

2. Stop emotionally and spiritually abusing your staff.

Although some elements of the church are like a business, church staff should not be treated just like employees. They are family. They aren’t perfect, but you need to love them anyway.
When you hurt them, you hurt God’s family. I know far too many pastors who need therapy after the wounds of working for a bad boss.

3. Stop hiding your secret addiction.
When we find out (not if, but when), it will ruin your ministry, devastate your family and place another black mark on the church. Stop lying about your actual condition. Find a godly mentor that can help you overcome it with counsel,intercession, discipline and Word of God. Don’t be another example that people point to when they call Christians a bunch of hypocrites. Get help now.

4. Stop skipping your time with God.

Lack of time with God is the quickest way for you to dry up spiritually. Your responsibility as a pastor is first and foremost to have a strong personal relationship with God. Prayer and Bible reading are not a waste of time. It’s the most productive thing you will do all day.

5. Stop talking about your “smoking hot wife.”

It’s great that you love your wife. But talk about how beautiful she is on the inside, too. Praise her godly character. I don’t want my daughter growing up hearing you imply that attractiveness is all that matters in a woman. She gets too much of that from the rest of the world already.

6. Stop thinking you are the reason for your church’s success.

Check your ego. Good pastors rightfully give God the glory for the fruit of ministry. It’s all because of Him. You are just a tool in God’s mighty hand. Stop taking the place of the Holy Spirit in your church, for,He is the true Vicar of Jesus church

7. Stop comparing yourself to other pastors.

Comparison is a loser’s game. You’ll either sin by taking pride in how much greater you are, or you’ll sin by coveting what they have. You can’t win. You can’t win with comparison. Stop lying about your worth, wealth and work. Stop the hyperbole and exxergeratios and embellishments.

8. Stop sacrificing your family in the name of doing “ministry.”

Your first job is to pastor your family well. Your degree of busyness is not a badge of honor, especially when it keeps you from being present for your family. If you allow your ministry to destroy your family, then your family will succefully destroy your ministry. If you can't separate your family time from ministry time, then you are still immature.

9. Stop reading business books more than your Bible.

Yes, there are a lot of parallels to leading a church and leading a business. I love a good leadership book as much as anyone else. But if you are spending far more time with secular books than the Bible, you have a problem. The Scriptures hold all the leadership principles you need, and many CHRISTIAN,ministry books based on the bible.

10. Stop wasting the church’s tithe money on wasteful expenses.

Did you need to go to that expensive restaurant on the church’s dime? Was that shiny new gadget the best way to invest God’s money? Mishandling the church’s money doesn’t just apply to pastors with mansions and private jets. Be a good steward of every penny that God has entrusted to you.

11. Stop pointless invitations to speak everywhere

Why do you welcome invitations to preach outside when your own people have not been properly fed? The number one role of the pastor is to feed the sheep very well. If you are not always available in your own altar to feed your people, but goes everywhere because of honorariums, you are a shame to Him.

12. Stop saying your church is going to “reach the world.”alone.

The whole body of Christ will reach the world, but not just your own local church. God’s redemptive plan is far greater than any lone congregation or denomination. Teach people to think bigger about the church than just your gathering.

13. Stop preaching anything but the Bible.

Opinions are like feet; everyone has them, and sometimes they stink. We don’t need your opinions. We need God’s in His Word. Tell us what He says. In the end, what He thinks is all that matters.

14. Stop preaching other pastors’ sermons without giving them credit.

That’s called plagiarism. It’s illegal. Don’t do it. Or stop doing it. I know many pastors plagiarise my teachings, posts, even my books, yet they don't give me the credit. It stinks.

15. Stop doing selfish service.

Don’t serve for the sake of publicity. If your primary goal is to get on the news or to take pictures with orphans in Africa to post on Facebook, you need a heart check (Matthew 6:4). Do good for God’s glory, not your own.

16. Stop playing church politics

Politics of promotion, hierarchies, money and position and titles have brought ruin to the spiritual impact of many pastors, especially those in denominations. Church politics have a way of reducing you in the sight and scale of God.

17.Stop giving false prophecies

We can't all be prophets. We can't all perform miracles, signs and wonders. Many of us will only see supernatural manifestations few times in our ministry. So don't work it up by yourself if the Holy Spirit is not inspiring you. Fake, flaky prophesy and miracle will bring bad image and reduce your impact.

18. Stop mishandling the Word of God.

Handling the word of God deceitfully is when you compromise, wrest, mutilate and misinterpret the bible because of fear of man, personal advantage or pecuniary considerations. Stop it or God will send the famine of His Word into your life and ministry.

19. Stop doing ministry with bitterness.

Make sure you allow God to heal your heart of hurts, wounds and injuries inflicted by the people you helped or served. Too many pastors are going about with inner hurts and doing ministry with bitterness, which eventually will defiled you and your work. (Hebrew12;15) Bitterness turns you to hurtful person in words and actions. Eventually, your hurts will make you to hurt others.

20. Stop operating outside your giftings and callings.

If God called you as a pastor, don't try to become an evangelist. If he calls you as a prophet, stop trying to be a pastor. If He hasn't called you as an apostle, stop trying to be one because of prestige, ordination and human expressions. Know your actual calling and stay there. Working outside your calling will always bring stagnation and disaster of great proportions to you and the people.

21. Stop being critical and fault finding.
Many of us are in the habit of being defensive, critical and cynical when the Word of God hit us at the point of our sins. We find fault with vessel the the Lord is using to speak to us. Thereby rejecting the work God want to do in our hearts and life. Stop it now. Receive benefits from any message the good Lord sends to you, not minding the vessel.

What do you need to stop?

Look, none of us are perfect yet. We should still be growing towards it. If any of this rubbed you the wrong way because you felt convicted, you are not alone.

Don’t get mad at me. Get angry at the sin that so easily entangles us. Let’s repent of the mistakes we have made and move forward as faithful stewards of the work God has entrusted us to do.
