Owerri, why are you weary? Why Is Wethral roundabout withered? Why Is Douglas market in Danger? Why is the Control junction not in control? Why is Orji in horror?
Where are the unknown gunmen? Where the prisoners In the prison that break? Where are those that set the government house on fire?
Your peace has been pieces Your hope is now confused Your gate is now full of terror
Yet, there is hope in you Your youths are on fire Your adults are on the altar Burning incense to Abba
They hearken to the call of the master They choose to be a gap filler They choose not to seize their breaths Until you are Restored to your default state.
Arise o Prayers Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem Pray for the Peace of Nigeria Pray for the Peace of Imo state Pray for the Peace of Owerri
I heard His voice Roaring like a lion Shouting in agony Gentle and still Helpless and dauntless
I died for her she cried I left my Glory to her sake I put on the form of a bondservant because of her I became a sheep to be slaughter because of her I choose to be naked because of her.
But she’s a deadly sinner, they said Why are you so mindful of her She wore nothing but a tattered cloth all the days of her life A bloody and habitual sinner Full of the deed of our masters.
He shouted again, I want her! Yes, I’ve chosen her! I was battered, scattered,slaughtered, and butchered because of her I only want her and her alone
The pure garment on me is for her The stripes on me are for her sicknesses I was grieved so that she can have Peace Bruised for her iniquities Smitten, stricken, and afflicted to have her Wounded for her transgressions All this for my AYANFE
I have said this over the years. MOSES wasn’t denied access to the promise land because of anger! I have discovered this since I was in the teenage Church.
Infact, that text of the Scripture didn’t mention the word anger or anything close to it. However, it won’t be wrong to say that he must have gotten angry at some point but God didn’t punish him for getting angry. He was punished because he refused to give the glory to God and that was the red line. Moses could take a strange woman in as a wife and God would forgive him but to share in His glory for a moment is one thing, He won’t take. Not from Moses or Aaron (I may talk about why those two can’t get away with it another day).
Someone would say he struck the rock twice in anger but I beg to disagree. I believe it was a “show-off”, a kind of bragado. Don’t forget that it was not only Moses that was denied access into the promise land, Aaron was also affected. Aaron wasn’t the one that struck the rock or even talked but paid for it. He paid for it because he was standing there with Moses when he presented the two of them as Jehovah-Jireh. Barnabas and Paul were smart. They torn their clothes to reveal their humanity and rejected being seen as God vehemently.
Bonus: God didn’t even tell Moses to strike the rock, he was only asked to speak to it.

Welcome to the Christocentric Series, as we look at Jesus masked in the Old testament, and unmasked in the New testament.
Shout out to Adex Blessings, Elsam, Esther Bolajoko, Elsam , Fakiyesi Tolorunleke and Paul Adeyeye. They emerged as the five persons who got the first question of the week correctly.
When you hear the word “Scarlet”, what’s the first thought that drops in your mind? Red? Good. That’s the simple meaning. Scarlet means something that’s Red while Thread is a material used in sewing. Thread can be used in producing cloth, rope. Etc.
RAHAB AND THE SCARLET THREAD
Joshua 2:18-21 – “Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of SCARLET THREAD in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.
“And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
“And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
“And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the SCARLET LINE in the window.”
In this passage, RAHAB protected the spies that spied Jericho, and when they were about to escape from her house, she used a red rope(Scarlet Thread) to exit them out of her house. Before they finally left, she made a request that whenever they are to attack the land, they should have mercy on her. Their response was that she should leave the Scarlet Thread on the window of her house and whenever they will be attacking the land, the house wouldn’t be attacked no matter how furious any of the armies would be. Therefore, anyone who would in the house bearing the red thread on it would be safe.
This is a typology of what happened in the land of Egypt. God told the Israelites to put blood on their doorpost so that whenever the angel of destruction passes over, he will not hurt them. We can see that the Blood and the Scarlet Thread are having the same prophectic meaning.
OTHER PROPHECTIC SCARLET THREAD
Genesis 3:21 – “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.”
We can see here God made a cloth for Adam and Eve with a thread of blood. This is the first place that blood was shed in the Bible as asked in the question of last post. The implication of this is that the animal that was killed was innocent of the sin of Adam and Eve but paid for their coverage. So also is Jesus innocent of the Sins He died for. He knew no sin but made Himself sin for us. And the standard of the Lord remain sure that without shedding of Blood, there’s no remission of sin.
Exodus 12:5 – “Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:”
We also see this in the levitical order on the day of You Kippur(Day of Atonement).The Animal that will be used for Atonement (Covering of sin) must be a year old meaning that the blood can only cleanse or cover sin for a year but Jesus was our own lamb that was slain. He wasn’t a year old. He wasn’t 33years old. He was beyond age. Hee transcends time. He’s ageless. So, he made propitiation of our sin once, for all and forever (Gloraaaaaay).
Hebrews 9:11-14 – “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
“For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

SECOND QUESTION FOR THE WEEK
In the Old testament, God promised to destroy the world with _________and He restored it back with____________. (With Bible Reference)
You are welcome to this blog in the name of Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith.
We hope this blog has always been a blessing to you. We enjoin you to always recommend this blog to people around you to visit and get blessed. You can also encourage us by dropping a love letter on how you have been blessed after each article, in the comment box.
We are beginning a voyage starting from this week and it’s going to be a very unique and interesting one. The name may sound ambiguous,😀 but don’t worry it’s simple and easy to understand.
Christocentric means Christ Centered. It’s my pleasure to let everyone understand the fact that the Bible is centred on Jesus. Jesus is the theme and the main man of the Bible. Every page of the Bible is pointing at one man called Jesus. Every where you’re reading in the Bible is a direct link to the person and personality of Jesus.
Anticipate 💓
The old testament is the Shadow of Jesus while the new testament is the real substance of Jesus. In old testament, Jesus was masked and was unmasked in the new testament. There are many analogies and typologies used in the Old testament that were revealed in the New Testament.
In the Christocentric series, we’ll be picking a shadow in the old testament and be revealing the real substance in the new Testament.
Are you ready for this journey? I’m very sure this series will be very helpful to your growth and you’ll find it interesting.
Check the Question for the week downward.
Question of the week:
Where was the first blood shed in the Old Testament and what was its significance in the New Testament?
This is the last part of the Tongues series and this part is meant for Those that want to know how to minister Holy Ghost Baptism with the evidence of Speaking in tongues and those that really want to be baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Below are the steps to follow in receiving the baptism of Holy Spirit. Ready for IMPARTATION.
Steps to Receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost
You are not to ask or beg God for it, just expect it.
Believe He has given you and you will manifest it.
Don’t hate tongues. That some people misuse it doesn’t mean it has lost its power.
Don’t pretend not to need it. Holy Ghost baptism is not just about tongues, it is about empowerment but tongues is the initial sign that you are baptized.
Clear your minds of doubts, God will give you, if you think any sin can hinder you, ask for forgiveness now and now. (Isa 1:18: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool”). And forgive everyone in your heart.
As I pray for you, you will be baptized and you will speak in new tongues.
As I pray for you, the Holy Spirit will give you utterances and you will speak it out. Note that utterance means any sound produced with the mouth. That means the utterance could be one syllable or two. It could be a string of words. Understand that you are the one that will pronounce the utterance in anyway it comes to your mind as the Holy Spirit gives you utterance.
When I pray for you, the utterance would come. Don’t think you are the one thinking it, it is not you. Don’t think you will be unconscious or lost, it is not so. Don’t be bothered if you don’t know the meaning just speak it. And keep repeating whatever comes to your mind.
Daddy thank you because you are a faithful God, you always hear me
and you are eager to give us than we are eager to ask. I pray for you:
Receive the Holy Spirit right now in Jesus Name.!!!!!
Open your mouth and began to speak those tongues out.
I’m sure that there are two sets of people that saw the topic. The first set of people (The Yoruba speaking brethren) knew the meaning while the second set of people that may not be Yoruba may be thinking maybe it’s a tongue or a Greek phrase😀.
The word Lori iro is actually a Yoruba word that’s being used to counter those who are telling lies. And that’s why it’s being adopted into this series.
There are some lies in which people do tell when it comes to the concept of tongues. I’m just going to share five of those lies in this part of the series.
The fact that a motor car has an accident does not mean that we’ll be traveling on long distance by foot and stop boarding buses. Also, the fact that people misunderstand the concept of tongues and teaching many heresies about it does not mean we won’t teach it. The mandate God gave me is to divide the word of truth rightly and that’s the essence of this blog.
The 5 Fallacies are:
Tongues and Holy Spirit
The doctrine of unconsciousness
Mentality of Laying on hand.
School of Tongues
Highness
TONGUES AND HOLY SPIRIT
I’ve been accused of this many time in my home town. In fact, I’ve faced so many panels on this subject. Those panels claimed that “If you can’t speak in tongues, then you are not having the Holy Spirit”. I’ll just sigh and say within myself ” Lori iro” 😀. That’s a big lie from the pit of hell. Although, there are some people that do this campaign, but it’s a big lie, a very big extreme one for that matter.
The Apostle of Faith of the blessed memory Smith Wigglesworth, He was gifted in raising of the dead by faith. When he started his ministry, he had the Holy Spirit in him but was not baptized in the Holy Ghost. It was after he visited a ministerial friend that his friend’s wife baptized him in the Holy Ghost and he started experiencing the move of God in greater dimensions afterwards.
Tongues is just an initial evidence of Holy Ghost Baptism. It has nothing to do at all with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Once you give your life to Christ, you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. Tongues is just there to initiate you into a greater dimension of the experience you’ll have with Him.
THE DOCTRINE OF UNCONCIOUSNESS
I’ve heard so many folks too claiming that you have to be unconscious while receiving the baptism of Holy Spirit. They claim that the disciples were behaving as if they were drunk after receiving the Holy Ghost in the book of Acts. So, if you must receive Holy Spirit you have to be staggering and break some chairs before you can speak it out. Lol…… Lori iro😀.
This is a big lie. If the disciples were truly unconscious, why was it that Peter stood up to address the people watching them? The Holy Spirit doesn’t make one unconscious, the evil spirit does.
I was in a heavy atmosphere of the Holy Spirit, this girl was doing as if she was unconscious under the atmosphere. People were trying to hold her but she was not stable. As she performed her drama, she used her hand to break the pulpit🤣🤣🤣(You just finished laughing?). As i was in the Spirit too, I laughed but she was already crying and looking for means of saving her blood. “But,’ I thought to myself, ‘you said you were unconscious before”.
When you see such people at another time, please give them a slap even among the multitude, you’ll be surprised that they will come and accuse you afterward.
Mentality of Laying of Hands
Laying of hands is actually a way of ministering Holy Ghost Baptism to an individual, you can check the book of Acts to confirm this. But it’s wrong if you think that it’s only the way to minister it. I’ve seen so many ministers that lay hands angrily all the time to minister Holy Ghost baptism to people, you’ll see these set of ministers pushing the person they are ministering to receive it by fire by force. It’s always funny when you are in a scenario where an angry minister encounters a stubborn client😀. It’s always a thug of war.
But we don’t need this. By the grace of God, I’ve ministered Holy Ghost Baptism to countless number of people on WhatsApp and they are now sporadic tongues speakers.
School of Tongues.
There is another fallacy by people who don’t believe in tongues. They would say that people are going to a school to learn tongues. Some will even say that the minister do tell them that this is what you should say as I’ll be praying for you.
Though, I’ve not seen a school where they teach tongues before. If you’ve see one before please let me know at the comment box. Neither have I seen a minister spelling tongues for people to say. Whichever way it may be, it’s very wrong. No matter who is involved in such act, it’s not right.
Tongues is a supernatural language that can be given to you by God alone, not man or any teacher.
Highness
Another fallacy is that you must be high in the spirit before you can pray in tongues. This is not balanced. Saying this is like saying that you must be hungry to a certain degree before you eat food.
Paul said if he wished, he prayed in tongues and If he wished he prayed in understanding.
1 Corinthians 14:15 – “hat is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. “
Up next, we’ll be treating the steps to follow in receiving Holy Ghost Baptism.
Are you blessed by this? Drop a commendation note in the comment box
Man of God! Help me, my prayer fire is quenching.😭🙏🏻
Pastor! Aid me, I’m not praying again.😭🙏🏻
Counsellor! My Prayer life is under attack. Please Help.😭🙏🏻
These and many more are the cries of some people on my wall. If you’re having such issues, then welcome on board. I’ll be sharing with you some Principles that will help you grow your prayer life.
1.THE PRINCIPLE OF RESPONSIBILITY
The number one factor that people do get wrong is creating the mentality that it’s the counselor that will help them grow their prayer life. No! No! And No! You’re the one responsible for your growth. I can’t be eating and be expecting that you’re the one that will be defecating for me. You must be the one that responsible, while the Counselor is there to only guide you. It’s the sense responsibility that will make you to be accountable. If you know you’ll not be responsible please don’t read further.
2.Principle of an Operating System/Time management.
Time management is life management. If you can manage your time very well and you can Create a some hours in your schedule for prayers, then you’re really ready to pray. The reason why you’ve not been praying is that you don’t painstakingly schedule the days of your prayer weekly, monthly and yearly. You have to build an operating system around it. How do I build an operating system around it? You do so by first deciding the numbers of days you’ll be praying in a week e.g. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will be my prayer days(I’ll advice you couple it with fasting)and you’ll create some hours out of those days according to your schedule.
This may be tedious, but remember you have to grow🧏🏻.
3.UNDERSTAND YOURSELF
I’ve met with so many people that will be like it’s only midnight they want to be praying. Prayer made in the normal day seems not to be potent to them. See these Bible passages:
Psalms 127:2 – “It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.”
Ecclesiastes 5:12 – “The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.”
And many more scriptures that speak about night rest.
Understand your Prime Time. Prime Time is the time that you’re most active. This can be in the day or night. The fact is that you must pray, not you must pray in the night.
Stop comparing yourself with someone that their prime time is in the night. Doing this comparison will always makes you not to achieve anything. Stop thinking that it’s an attack. It’s not an attack. It’s misunderstanding of Yourself.
I’ve seen some people that will say they can’t Pray by 12am because they have had a stressful day. I advise them to change the time to 5am in the morning and they are doing well in prayer now.
More so, I’m not underestimating night prayer. In fact I used to do that at least once in a week but the fact is that you must understand yourself.
4.PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSION
Some people are fond of boasting here and there saying things like, ” I just finished 12 hours of tongues at a stretch.” Well, they have their reward. When you hear this, it enters your head and you say to yourself that you’ll go and try it too. I’m assuring you that you can never reach that level.
You don’t just wake up after you’re just been given birth to and start saying that you want to be eating strong bones. You don’t start school in university level you start it in primary level. You don’t start praying 60 hours when you’ve not practice praying for 60 minutes.
Start by setting a progressive goal for yourself, tell yourself you’ll pray 30 minutes for this week and increase it with 15 minutes by the following week, as you do that you’ll see that praying for long hours will soon become easy for you.
5.PRINCIPLE OF AN ATMOSPHERE
Prayer energy is always available when you leverage on an atmosphere. What’s an atmosphere? This simply means playing a spirit filled song to charge your environment. You can plug in your earpiece and play chants or tongues. Go to Naijasermon.com.ng and look for Spirit filled chants that will elevate your spirit in the place of prayer. Play it along as you pray.
6.PRINCIPLE OF TONGUES
You can’t go far in prayer if you’re not baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. You’ll always exhaust your prayer points on time if you can’t pray in tongues. You can get aid on how to be baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues through the tongues series on this blog.
7.PRINCIPLE OF INTERCESSION
When you see someone that is praying in tongues for a longtime, they don’t pray for themselves. Rather, they intercede for the kingdom and the church. Cultivate this attitude and see yourself grow in prayer.
I hope you’ve been blessed so far by the principles, but this is just a tip of the iceberg on all you need to know to have an effective prayer Life. Get my hook titled PRAYER ENERGIA to have access to all the things you need to know. Get the book for just#500 only via wa.me/2348106522911

Passage: Mark 9:20-27 Focus: v23 “What do you mean, If I can? Jesus asked. Anything is possible if a person believes.”
One of the spiritual principles believers must understand is that, at times, when you pray about a situation, it may appear as if it is getting worse but it is actually getting solved. But if you think the situation has gone worse and you start doubting, it will result that way.
Let’s take a look at the case study of the boy in Mark 9 from verse 20: So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth. 21How long has this been happening? Jesus asked the boys father. He replied, Since he was a little boy. 22The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.
Imagine the evil spirit throwing the boy down in front of JESUS. The Bible says the spirit threw him into a VIOLENT convulsion. But all the evil spirit was doing was to cast a fear in the heart of the father and scare Jesus. The father told Jesus “Have mercy on us and help us, if you can. “If” is a statement of doubt and disbelief. It is anti-faith and we don’t use it while speaking! Jesus corrected him: it is not about me, but about you! v23 What do you mean, If I can? Jesus asked. Anything is possible if a person believes. The man asked Jesus to help him and that he believed. Now, watch it, when Jesus commanded the evil spirit out, the boy’s situation seems to get worst! The spirit threw him into another VIOLENT convulsion and it seems to have killed him! So much that the people said he was dead! v25 When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit. Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak, he said. I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again! Then the spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said, He’s dead. But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up. The boy was well and alive! Jesus lifted him up.
May the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you! Amen
PYP: I think we should pray now! Jump up and call on JESUS: say the last time I see this issue, is the last time I will ever see it in Jesus Name. You know that issue, you should rebuke it violently! Rebuke it and ask it not to come again! Amen! SADOZ IS OURS: Decree the fall of every anti-Christ policy or government all over the world in JESUS Name. Psalm 2:1-9 READ THE BIBLE IN A YEAR: Deuteronomy 25-26, Acts 2
