#Salvation3

ONE DAY i made up a reconstruction of the travailing of the impotent man at the pool of Bethasda: a night before JESUS met with him he was inches close to his Miracle. but lo, his Miracle was yet still far away. we all know how the pool functioned in those ancient days, an Angel will stir the pool at random (that's at anytime, anytime of the day, and anytime of the year) no one knew when the stirring would occur. it could happen in 5 years gap, it could be in days gap. the stirring gave no warning, it gave no sign, no man knew when it will happen, just the most observant and 'fastest' to get into that pool FIRST when the pool got stirred would be healed. this certain man was crippled, and indisposed to be 'sharp' and fast enough for most 38 years. it was a sorry sight. because those that had fast and sharp loved ones to throw them into the water were racing against each other to make it into that stirred pool before anyone else; our man here stood no chance. ON THIS CERTAIN NIGHT, our man was awake (about in the middle of the deep night) and suddenly the pool was stirred! and luckily again he was the only one awake: "this is my chance!" he said to himself, "if only i could crawl into the pool now no one is looking, now i have no competition..." this he thought to himself...he then began his ultimate 3 yards journey to the stirring pool...he crawled...and crawled...the stirring was still on...everyone was fast asleep..."I'm almost there!" he rejoiced, as he crawled; "just little more, and I'm in!"; he could taste his victory, he began to picture on the faces of friends and family that would say "alas, you made it!" he could see himself in the pool...just a little more crawl and i'm there. BUT JUST AT THE TIP OF THE POOL, as he stretched forth his hand to enter, he heard a loud splash! a deaf man, with good legs and hands, unfortunately woke up suddenly and saw the pool stirring...he raced (like a cheetah) and dove into the pool (like an olympics swimmer) and that was it! the dreams of our man was gone! gone with the wind. gone, for another maybe 5 or 10 years of stirring. which he will be utmostly lucky to have such an opportunity again. oh! what great despair.

BUT

The next morning, JESUS came passing by...and the following ensued:

"when Jesus saw him lie, AND KNEW that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I HAVE NO MAN, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool, but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, RISE, TAKE UP THY BED, AND WALK. And IMMEDIATELY the man was made whole, AND TOOK UP HIS BED, AND WALKED..."

[John 5: 6 - 9]

"Marvel not that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN"

[John3v7].

*Giving your life to Christ is like making a pledge! A pledge to live for JESUS! (it's more than a pledge) but the word 'pledge' is used to help you understand how this great journey commences.

If you're NOT BORN AGAIN, you have not given your life to Christ, simply make this pledge right now, you can raise your right hand as you say it solemnly; (never mind, God is seeing you right now) say this: "Lord JESUS, I come to you today; I've been living my life for myself, but from today I want to live my life for You. I confess my sins today, write my name in Your Book of Life, for from today I will live for You; Thank You Lord JESUS. For in JESUS Mighty Name I pray, Amen."

Brother, sister, you are now BORN AGAIN! [Romans 10v9&10] Welcome to Your New Life.
Halleluyah!

If you prayed this prayer, you have begun a new journey to greatness.

#LikeJoseph1

ONCE AGAIN i reconstructed the story of Joseph, the tribulations he went through, the unseemly circumstantial trials he went through to get to that place of position which The Lord had prepared for him: We all know how he got to Egypt, we all know the story of how his (wicked) brethren in bid to kill his dreams, sold him to a band of slave dealers in hope to 'sell away' his so called dreams of them (his brethren) bowing to him "here comes the dreamer...let us see what shall become of your dreams!" they conspired. now let's skip the tortury tale of the dry dessert journey to Egypt, let's skip also the pain of mind torture young Jo' had to pass through to get to Egypt; the heartbreak: "it's this a dream or what? i'm taken away from Dad, and family? tied hand and bound to a strange land?"..."is this one of my strange dreams" "is this really happening?"..."is it one big joke or what?" thoughts of such going through young Jo's mind...Let's begin the story proper at Potiphar's house: young Jo' is doing well now, things are changing, the ministry is moving; "even though I'm serving, but at least i'm feeding..." "things are getting okay somehow"...

Then all of a sudden, Potiphar's wife, a very beautiful woman (you can imagine how beautiful women of Ancient Egypt were in those days, not like all these artificiality here and there today); "lie with me" she says...(in case you don't understand that means "i want you to sleep with me")...

Young Jo' is confused! "Has she lost her mind" "is she high on some local reefs?" "has she been sippin' on the yak'?" "i mean, i mean, how can i do such evil against our master Potiphar?" "and most importantly, against GOD?" well, before Young Jo' could know it, he was in prison, not because he did, but because HE DID NOT! (i can imagine how many young blokes these days can do that! some would rejoice at such an evil and wicked opportunity) But here is young Jo' in prison..."are things getting better or worse?"

But THE LORD was with Jo'! something significant then happened in the prison: he continued his ministry, the ministry of Solution by the interpretation of dreams, and he interpreted the dreams of two certain blokes (we all know the story) but again young Jo' was left alone...alone for some time, and time again..."will i die here" "will i ever see Dad again..." "will i ever see my people again" You know, the story is easy now because we know the end, but imagine being in a situation where THE END seemed very uncertain...very very uncertain. what if the Butler forgot Joseph, i thought one day? or the Butler died of one illness, or so before Pharaoh's dreams? BUT God's WILL can never be changed! one day THE GATES swung open! "come out O'slave!" and they took young Jo' for a bathe, and a clean up..."O! they want to kill me looking good!" thought young Jo'; But no, they headed for the Palace "O! they want to feed me to the palace lions..."

But then, but then, he stood before Pharaoh...

And his story changed.

#Salvation2

It's like The ASTRONAUTS' SPACE SUIT! [Part 1]:-

Remember, it's like the Astronauts' Space suit! The Astronaut IS NOT HIS SPACE SUIT! Rather, the Astronaut is 'wearing' his Space suit to "exist" in a certain realm (probably like in OUTER SPACE where you got ZERO GRAVITY, wieghtlessness, and tempratures at obscure propulsions)! Just like the Astronaut, WE ARE "wearing" this BODY! Like the Astronauts' Space suit you are "wearing" your 'body' to exist in this 3Dimemsional realm called EARTH!

The real person is the YOU in the inside of that "Earth-suit" called THE BODY. The You inside your "Earth-suit" is called YOUR SPIRIT. Your Spirit is the real person, BUT this "person" inside the suit has a RENEGADE COUNTERPART [**Why say 'renegade counterpart'??? see Next Part- Part 2] **This "renegade counterpart" of your "Earth-suit" is called 'The Soul'. The Soul is like an OXYGEN TANK for the Astronaut, that if the Oxygen runs off, the Astronaut drops dead in outer space!

The Astronaut can't exist without his Oxygen tank! The Body too, can't exist without the Soul; And The Soul is not the REAL YOU, just like the Astronauts' OXYGEN TANK is not The Astronaut! See it like this: At CREATION, GOD put an 'App' (like a computer programme) in your body to make the body function properly; Like mounting an oxygen tank (with a specific storage) upon the astronaut, for the Astronauts' Space suit to function properly. Without that App (or the oxygen tank so to say), the body will shutdown! BUT this App becomes corrupted most of the times! (yea...like the oxygen tank for the Astronaut becomes infected with poisonous gas....yea...the reason why we see ourselves doing crazy stuff sometimes...yea...I get that!!!); HENCE, wherewith the reason, WE NEED to make UPGRADES of 'The App' By THE WORD OF GOD, for 'The App' (The Soul) to function at It's RIGHT-FULL CAPACITY. Know this: the Body you see in the mirror is like the Astronauts' Space suit....NOTE: The Soul is 'The App' that runs The Body (so to speak)....(or like an OXYGEN TANK that sustains The Astronauts' Space suit)....The REAL YOU is YOUR SPIRIT! This functions at full capacity when ‘The App’ is UPGRADED....

#Salvation1

DEATH MACHINES were very unpopular in the ancient times. Their job was simple: To inflict torture, pain and death upon (maybe) traitors of the king, prisoners, sorcerers, and criminals. To mention a few were THE RAGING BULL (a large iron cow) where the victim is put into a metal cased "cow" and the cow is heated up (like cooking a large empty pot over fire) and its victim is trapped in the inside; THE RACK a table where the person is tied up and stretched into oblivion, cracking bones and all; THE GUILLOTINE a large iron blade that slides downwards decapitating its victim. Others included THE STAKE a long piece of wood for burning of witches and sorcerers...and some modern ones like the ELECTRIC CHAIR, etc.

But none of these death machines was most feared for its ability to emit torture like THE CROSS (a very unpopular death machine of the ROMAN EMPIRE to send a warning message to any form of rebellion by their conquered subordinates. It is known that the mare threat of crucifixion in ancient times, humbled the toughest of the tough, and the roughest of the rough). The job of the cross was to kill its victim by one method: PAIN. A person crucified on the cross (literally) "sinks" into death in extreme pain, and anguish. The cross was so unpopular because it extended the time of death, thereby killing its victim slowly and painfully over a long period of time, hereby disseminating anguish and torture in an unexplained manner which included: the painful fatigue of an outstretched arm over a long period of time (you can try this...stretch out your arms for maybe 5 minutes!); so also the loss of blood from nail wounds in the palms and ankles...the contraction of the diaphragm, which disables its victim to breathe in and breathe out normally (the victim will live on very short breaths like an acute asthma attack...), All these, not to mention the harsh weather (like standing under the Sun of about 40-45 degrees for a long period of time under pain) and the shamefulness of such public and shameful show of execution.

But JESUS was crucified! (Not to mention He was per-flogged 39 times with THE SCORPION WHIP, another deadly death machine of the ancient Romans, designed to tear skin from the bone)...

Now you see what JESUS had to pass through for our Salvation...

#Revelation2

By mistake, a 'demon-witch' lost it's "navigation" last night and flew into the JCSA "No-fly-zone" to operate. After re-arranging the demon's flight pattern, (and it was lucky to escape with its "life" - with a broken radar) the encounter inspired me to inspire the Children of God further; Thank you:

76% of Nigerians are Witches and Wizards (but the term 'wizard' here does not mean a white-bearded-80-year-old wearing a tall peak hat - but rather the male version of a witch "a male-witch": these are human beings, whom by either incantation of parent(s), sacrifice to deity, or mare initiation (by friends or family), now happen to have "superhuman powers" (4th dimensional abilities) to control his/her (or their) environment, etc.) - *don't be surprised, it's happening live today!** And they're 3 types of Witches: The blood sucking witch (the kind that was high on "witch-weed" and lost coordination and flew into 'Military Territory' last night); and then there is the pain inflicting witch (whom have an obsession in bringing hardship, mishaps, confusion, failures upon innocent "bystanders", etc by mare superhuman abilities like mind-control, mind reading, mind-influencing, environment-influencing, through diverse supernatural abilities like mind-exertion); and also we have "The Cow" (a cow is a cut-across between a goat and a sheep - many supposed "Christians" fall in these category, being "used" by the two mentioned categories above, by mind control to perpetuate further devices, etc) - don't be amazed...it's happening daily today as we speak (many even are reading this post)! All these are made up of the EVERYDAY PEOPLE we see everyday. Husbands are sleeping with women (out of wedlock) are handiwork of witches (influence-induced operations); young ladies are marauded by "male-witches" (in the guise "it's a relationship") but rather it's a masquerade of diabolism, a rigmarole...a trap - ladies Beware! Before (c. 3 - 5 decades ago) its used to be regarded that one needs to belong to a certain coven - a kind of "association" to qualify to be a witch (or male-witch) Nehin!...now it's like individual power - independent policy - so to speak...women are sleeping with drivers, helps; etc, are all handiwork of these male-witches (wizards) because they (the wives) are "subconsciously" marauded by mind control to be CATTLE (or Cow)...friends are snatchin' relationships- people are loosing their babies, etc, are handiwork of 'witches'; people are sick, emaciating - loosing weight, growing thin (it's not the recession...)- No! it's because there's a rampage of demonic manifestation, an outrage, now, happening now as we speak. See it like this: That movie where Zombies are on an outrage; but this time in the "not-seen" realm. Yes. it's happening in Africa. Like for instance, a second before you snap off to sleep, an "unknown" (unseen) power grabs you on your bed, you can't move a muscle, you want to say "Jesus", but your 'mouth muscle' seems to be on holidays...then all of a sudden you fall off to sleep? Nehin! You're under attack! Or you're a lady, and most nights (in your dream) a demon comes to have sex with you (they come in the image of one you admire, or love), and you experience this most nights? You're under attack dear!

But rejoice. For the antidote is simple. (see #Eph3v12 #2Cor10v3-6)

#Revelation1

A long time ago, when I move into an area (in Lagos Nigeria), and it happens to be that area was infested of 'em Witches, I used to be worried and sad...asking God: "why, why...why did You allow me move into this area?" I will spend nights praying: "God take me away from this area..." I will spend nights praying this prayer (hoping one day a miracle would push me outta there!); And (most definitely) God will pay me no mind...and I will (most definitely) fall under the attacks of these ravenous demons (because they would say: "aha! fresh meat! yum!") and I will come under attack daily (sorry "nightly"), and I will wake up at midnight praying: "Father Lord, why me? (why...why...why!) but 'em Witches will be happy, attacking nightly, without remorse...sometimes I just stay awake (coz they only attack you when you're asleep!) *sometimes they help and put you to sleep, yea!**

But...

One day (sorry one night...coz it all happens at night...coz at day, they are all full of large smiles...you can hardly detect who's who at daylight) Then one night, I could bare it no more, and I was compelled to put up a fight! A feeble, but yet a fight; It was in The Name of Jesus...taking position by The Blood of Jesus...

Then I noticed a dispersal. Oh really? Wait! So this works? Then I went into an onslaught, like a maniac warrior. The next morning, as I stepped outta my "one room" apartment...the rate of "Good morning sirs..." I received, I couldn't catch up with responses..."Wow! Niiice!" I said, I felt like a Don in downtown Chicago!

Since then my prayer changed! My prayer became: "Father Lord, transfer me to an area full of 'em Witches!" Sometimes I asked God: "Where are the witches?" "Gimme some more!" Why coz I realised why God had brought me thus to such demon infested neighborhoods...to make me stronger, or as a matter of fact (strongest!). A time came when 'em Witches they gathered up at a parley; saying: "What's with this? When this man is around we either keep it cool, or keep a low profile..." But some dint want to keep a low profile (I'm talking about seeming responsible and "Rich" witches now considering my neighborhood as I moved up the ladder over time) they then tip-toed (at night) to places far far away from me, to attack innocent people sleeping cool on their beds...But this made me mad! Reason one, coz why should you attack innocent people sleeping cool at night on their beds? Is it because they're ignorant? I then made pursuit (in prayer); two, because I lacked punching bags! It became fun beating their 'gum-butts' up in Prayer! At a time they switched lamentation: Crying: "why why why...have you allowed this 'witch' (me) to torment them???" Sharrap there! Boncoms! For now they were right below my feet...I made pursuits once again, but now they chose to lay low in their ac-ied apartments and stick to their regular meals! But life now was getting boring...so I sought The Lord in a 'sit-down'; and I got an "Okay!" from The Lord, to forge ahead to distances far far away from me to disturb their peace (if they ever have peace)...now life was getting boring...coz they have a 'cease fire'...**now we're taking the Battle to their beds! Repent! or be slain!*

I had someone (sometime) close to me: a Witch...she couldn't stand me! She had to flee! But they all go all up fooling people with smiles, nice words, and fake gestures! *Don't worry! The thunder that would fire them, is coming straight from #Joshua10v8-14!** They're good in putting up smiling faces...and feign to be good people...Lies!!!

We see you!

Our Ship has Anchored!
