  • IF A POLITICAL PROPHECY FAIL – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    IF A POLITICAL PROPHECY FAIL – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    If a political prophecy (foretelling) fails, it is usually a 99.99% human error.
    Human error doesn’t make a man of God fake though it renders his prophecy fake.
    Some are deliberately fake.
    Some are misunderstanding.
    Some read their own meaning into what they heard.
    Some just removed a word and derailed everything.

    I will enlarge a bit on the second to the last and the last point.

    I once saw a vision of a lady. She was into a friend immorally.
    I said to myself, that must be her fiance.
    It was a long time since we talked and we were not that close.
    I chatted with her on Facebook.
    When I told her, she said- is the male you saw like a fiance to me?
    See trap.
    I said yes: and she said, “well, I am not engaged”.
    That day, I learnt a serious lesson.
    I can bet that she did what I saw but she ended up shaming me.
    She knew that I was right.
    I have learnt and moved on.

    Another example.

    I saw this lady wearing a ring on her middle finger
    Visions always come with what I call “a voice manual”.
    I knew immediately from the voice that it was not an engagement ring
    But my mind was playing on me.
    Well, I have learnt from experience.
    It was a long I saw this girl, so I called her.

    I said: I saw a ring on your middle finger.
    She said: ” is there anything wrong with being engaged?”
    See another trap.
    I told her: “I didn’t say engagement ring. I said I saw a ring on your middle finger besides, the feeling I got doesn’t look like being engaged.
    She said: ” well, I am not engaged but I have been wearing this ring for a while so that people would stop disturbing me.

    Should I give you more examples?

    On the last point- “changing a word or phrase”.
    An example:
    I wrote on my timeline that: “I had lost hope this morning but the Lord said they won’t be declared so soon.”
    If you follow my writings on the build-up. of the election,
    I tried to avoid saying what the Lord spoke to me
    But that day, He told me to put that out.
    Even me, I misunderstood that word because of what I wished should happen
    But I ensured that I maintained every word I heard in my spirit while typing and I didn’t bother explain to anyone.
    Someone said that I should explain what I wrote.
    I said, “time is the best explainer”
    That day, no one was declared until the following day.
    If I omitted just the word “so”. It could derail the whole thing.

    I think another error is people who heard the word reading their own meaning into prophecy.
    So, when it doesn’t follow their thoughts, they say it is fake.
    That was what Pastor Paul Adefarasin was trying to clarify about “Saul and Samuel” analogy.

    LAWS OF FORETELLING:

    1. At times, Say just what you see, don’t explain
    2. At times, Say just what you hear, don’t explain.
    It is not every time that you need to explain what you see or hear.
    That is if you must say it at all.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    Human error doesn’t make a man of God fake though it renders that particular prophecy fake.
    If you have committed a human error, pick your lessons, and sit down to understand against another time.
    Don’t join the bad wagon in tearing men of God apart over one failed foretelling
    It doesn’t mean that every other thing he says is wrong.

    FACT
    If you are a prophet and you never got it wrong, you have never prophesied.

  • YOU CAN’T GIVE UP ON NIGERIA – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    YOU CAN’T GIVE UP ON NIGERIA – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    You can’t give up on Nigeria, you shouldn’t. Let no man tell you that God isn’t interested in the political situation, they don’t understand the workings of God. God is interested but not limited by it. YOUR LIFE IS ALSO NOT LIMITED BY IT- I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT. You don’t need to feel unfortunate just because you cannot JAPA.

    Never feel that your prayer was wasted. It was, never. It was effectual, fervent and worked wonders. Take this as a bonus, even if it’s 10% good left in Nigeria, the Bible says those who pray will eat of the good thereof.

    Now, you can forgive Pastors who didn’t ordain any candidate by name. It was the minimum standard thing to do even though their hearts and fingers might be with him. Many see the end and know that Church VS Government war is not needed in the coming days.

    For Men of God who were vocal due to the evil they see in the land, they are heroes. They put a lot of sacrifice and risk to fight the power that be. Nobody should make you believe that it was a mistake. Church history told us how much the church thrive when the Roman Government submitted to God.

    Lastly, never feel your vote was wasted. It did speak. You can’t give up on whom you gave your voice and vote. You shouldn’t. Then, let them be the ones to fight it out to the extent they so wish.

    THEN, PLEASE, WATCH WHAT YOU POST ONLINE.

  • CLARIFYING PURPOSE AND CAREER 2 – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    CLARIFYING PURPOSE AND CAREER 2 – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    Talking about clarifying career and purpose
    I have said that you have to come to a stage where you find you make a career out of your purpose
    Or you stick to a career even if it doesn’t fall in life with your purpose and then walk towards your purpose afterwards
    This is not always easy and it is not achievable for most people but it is the reality
    It is the only feasible thing to do if you don’t get to work in line with your purpose at first

    Facts about career

    1. Decide
    Decide on what career you wish to pursue and do that quickly
    At whatever age you are, you should decide immediately
    What do I want to do?
    What would bring food to my table?
    Is it something I can begin right now?
    Or do I have to do another thing while it waits?
    What can I do about it immediately?
    Can I save up for it?
    Can I gather information?
    These are leading questions that you should ask yourself

    2. Is it employment or self-employment
    If it is employment then you have to ask: it is Government employment or private establishment
    If it is a government establishment, the ladder is well-laid buy
    You know when to expect promotions and what you must do to get promoted
    If it is to acquire more education or does courses
    You know already and you should go for it
    If it is a private establishment, IS IT A WELL STRUCTURED PLACE or not structured
    If it is well structured, it means:
    They have a laid-out promotion process
    It means they have insurance policies
    It means there is a retirement plan
    And it would mean that if they fire you anyhow you can go to court
    Even though a private business is not as secure as government work…some are more secure than the other

    So you need to ask yourself, DO I WANT TO REMAIN HERE
    I mean if it is structured
    Do I want to retire here or spend some years
    What are my plans?
    What does it take to get to the topmost position because that is where the money is
    You need to find out what it takes
    Ask if you can pursue it
    If you can then begin the journey
    Are you with me?
    If it is not a structured private setting then you should know that your time there is numbered
    It must never be your plan A no matter the promises they made to you
    It can fold up at any time!
    They may change leadership!
    They may lay off
    I should be advising you against staying there for long if the PAY APPEARS GOOD.

    but if the pay is nothing to write home about then three years, is too much
    Look at private schools for instance
    Most private schools. When I say most, I mean 99.95% are not structured
    There is no clear promotion plan or insurance
    No one should ever plan a future with it
    Use it to raise money.
    Do it for the main time
    Do it while you search for a job
    …….

    But THREE MONTHS TOO MUCH

    3. Self-employment: business or skills

    Are you selling something, or rendering a service
    Are you just planning to start?
    Are you just planning to learn the skill?
    Have you started already?
    Never I focused on this who have started

    LAWS OF CAREER BUSINESS

    1. Do not be a hustler
    A hustler is a person that is combining two or more trades
    Either you are working somewhere and decided to do business alongside
    Let me tell you this hard truth, you can’t make it in any business without the law of focus
    That’s why I called it a career business
    A career is something you are building not something you are playing with
    It’s the same if you are doing much unrelated businesses

    2: any business can make you a millionaire
    Do you know how much it takes to build a house in Nigeria today?
    You can’t finish a house with 2 million naira
    Yet, that pepper seller and that leaf seller built a house
    Meaning, they are millionaires
    If you focus on your trade, you can make a lot out of it

    3: to make it in business, is a complex work
    The reason making it in business is hard for some is that they don’t know that it entails quite a whole lot of things
    Specifically, you need three times of education

    a.continous education in your line of business

    b. General Business and marketing education

    c. Financial Education
    Fortunately, we have materials for all these education in SADOZ

    Now, let’s do a little Business Education

    1. Pay yourself a salary
    The biggest mistake people make in business is that they thought all the money they make as profit is theirs
    I called you to fix something in my house, I paid you 4k then you begin to spend the money
    My dear, you are wrong!
    That 4k is not yours
    Remove between 30% to 40%, pay your tithe 10% and return the rest to your business
    Is there a tool you need to buy?
    Or do you want to rent a shop?
    Or just save it up till you find a need for it
    If there is a particular tool, you can even decide to save up to 80% for it.

    You can buy it and pay a letter if you can trust yourself to payback

    Or save up with the person who sells it
    The Lord is impressing it upon my heart to talk more about this
    It is called the PROJECT SAVING
    You have a project, say an Industrial machine to buy.
    You know that once you buy that machine, your work will be faster and neater
    You will be able to meet up and not disappoint
    That would also mean more profit for you
    So, what would you do?
    You will save up for the machine
    But you know yourself, savings is hard for you, right?
    You have few options
    You can join a thrift or save up with someone
    You can decide to do PROJECT SAVING
    Project savings means you are not just saving little money towards it but almost if not all of the money you get every time
    You want to put everything aside to just ensure that you get that industrial machine
    You can save it with someone like I said it do thrift
    You can approach the seller and tell them you want to save up with them and pick when it is completed
    You can pay upfront, collect the machine and balance up
    If you apply this project approach to all areas of your life most especially your business, you will control your spending and contain wastage
    Including those you give dash money
    And at the same time, your business would flourish
    Many people have done this just by hearing me talk about it
    And they have results

    2. Do marketing
    There’s knowing what to SELL and there is knowing HOW to sell
    To be in business and say you hate marketing is like wanting to study law but you hate the English Language
    You better go and so Yoruba studies
    Yoruba study is a good course. I am just illustrating a course you can do if you hate the English language
    To say you are into business but you hate marketing means you are playing. Go and find another work.
    See, if not for marketing, everybody will make it in business
    If it is to just display goods or render service and it will sell on their own, everybody will have become a billionaire in business
    But thank God not everybody enjoys marketing, that gives you the room to make a lot of money
    I know you hate marketing but YOU CAN MARKET
    you hate it but YOU CAN DO IT
    let me ask you-
    If you are sure that if you talk to 10 people about your business, at least 1 person would buy, would you approach 10 people?
    You know that if one of them should buy, the profit will be worth it. Won’t you do it?
    That means you CAN only if you have refused to
    And depending on your type of business, in some cases, if you talk to 10 people, at least 4 would buy
    To some, it is an at least 3 or 5 people
    All you have to do is to identify the LIKELY PROSPECTS
    those who are likely to buy!
    Approach them
    Then let the game start
    There is something we called the 100 game
    Talk to 100 people as fast as possible
    It is just a game
    Don’t send BCs
    Go in there to show them and demonstrate what you have.
    Can you read 100 people in under 24 hours or in 48 hours or a week?
    Let the race begin today
    Before you reach no.100, you would have sold out!
    Your shyness would drop all by itself
    Your prospecting, marketing and closing sales skills would be sharpened.
    Go do this and then CONGRATULATIONS!

    Let me close with this
    Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;

    Who will close us in prayers pls
    Eternal Lord, I give you praise and glory for blessing us tonight. May your light shine upon how hearts and strengthen our resolve to put all to use in Jesus’ Name. amen

  • THE CHURCH IS NOT QUIET – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    THE CHURCH IS NOT QUIET – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    The Church is not quiet.
    We told you to get your PVC
    We told you to pray & vote
    We told you not to vote looters
    What else do you want from the Church?
    What?
    To call names? Why? For what?

    Do the maths.
    Vote for a man of character and capacity- physical and mental capacity.
    A man that would lead from the front as the driver.

    But some of you, Christian youths want to act like “Omo Osan ti n ko popo ba iya e”

    The Church is not the same as “the mosque”.
    The Church doesn’t have the responsibility to anoint a candidate for you.
    The Church would guide you to use your brain.
    Voters card is for 18+, remember.
    Let the children go and play or pray.

    Mentioning names is a personal choice.
    Some church leaders who mentioned names in 2015 have refused to mention names in 2023.
    Some who mention names in 2023 may not mention names in 2027.
    And some who never mentioned names today may do that tomorrow.
    It is PERSONAL.

    As your pastor (if I am your pastor).
    Look at me from head to toe.
    I have brain, I love Nigeria, I can’t vote for someone I cannot trust.
    I will be voting tomorrow, whom do you think I will vote for?
    Then, vote for that person or choose another person.

    Just remember,
    We will be in it together for the next four years.

    Every wise man knows that half word is enough for Omoluabi (a responsible person).

  • CLARIFYING PURPOSE AND CAREER – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    CLARIFYING PURPOSE AND CAREER – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    Brethren, we have a very sensitive topic to discuss.
    And it will be my joy if you understand all I have to say and put it to use
    Many people live the rest of their lives regretting how they spend the first 30 years of their lives
    If you are over 30, you have a very slim line to correct things through this teaching
    And if you are below 30, you are at a good time to turn things aroundCLARIFYING PURPOSE AND CAREER
    This is a message I wish to say to everyone
    And I will try to make it simple

    Definition of terms:

    1. PURPOSE
    Your purpose is what you are designed to do on earth 🌐
    Something you are designed to do very well and do it best.
    While you do it, it is very easy for you. You do it as if you are catching fun
    When I told an old schoolmate that I have become a preacher, he said: “I doubt you could do any other thing”. Lolz.
    To teach or preach is fun for me
    It’s like fish in the river. The more he swims, the more joy and strength he gains
    That’s what purpose is like2. CAREER
    Your career is what puts food on your table. This could be your purpose or otherwise
    I preached purpose in a church, at the end of the session, the coordinator confessed that what he is using to feed his family is not his purpose but at the point of marriage, he had to decide if he wanted to pursue his purpose or take care of his family
    And that is the problem
    90% of people on EARTH- (not only in Nigeria) are not living in their purpose
    Many are just trying to make ends meet
    And that is why tonight’s teaching is most important

    Facts about purpose and career

    1. The best career you can have is in your purpose!

    Know that and know peace
    Imagine doing what you love doing and being paid for it.
    Just imagine it🤷🏼‍♂️
    Do you know some people dance for a living?
    Some people eat for a living
    You grow younger while doing what you enjoy doing and getting paid for it

    2. Nothing pays to like your purpose

    Many settle into anything because they feel their purpose doesn’t pay as much
    But indeed, nothing pays like a man’s purpose
    That’s because you will be able to reach the height of your career with ease and joy
    By God’s grace, I have written 61 books!
    Writing has to be fun for me to do that much
    That’s what purpose does.

    3. A time would come when what will truly matter to you is your career, not your purpose

    As beautiful as pursuing one purpose is, it is easier to live in that thought at your youthful age
    A time is coming that what would matter is only how to put food in your mouth
    How do you preach purpose to a man with a wife and two children
    I know preachers who had to settle for part-time jobs because they must feed their family
    So many people have been bullied and forced to settle for just anything
    But you can avoid that happening to you

    4. Think career early

    If you do this early then you won’t be forced!
    If you discover your purpose, ask yourself- what is the career aspect of my purpose then began to build it
    I mean: ask yourself- how do I make money from my purpose?
    The earlier you come to this, the better!
    The earlier you come to this the better!

    5. Don’t trade your career for your spiritual life

    The Bible says- Rom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord
    Listen!
    You went to ND- a fervent spiritual brother/sister (3 years + IT)DE-University- fervent! (5 years plus strike)NYSC- fervent! (1year)Afterwards- I AM NOW A OLD MAN/LADY, I should marry!
    That journey takes you 9 years but you don’t have a career.
    If you don’t have a career, you don’t have a future
    It is after all of that you begin to think WHAT CAN I DO TO PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE
    by that time, you are ready to settle for anything
    Or some began to learn a skill
    Compare it with a man who has started thinking about WHAT CAN I DO ALL ALONG
    It was far late before Jacob asked- WHEN WILL I PREPARE FOR MY OWN HOME
    so, if you are in this teaching, you can ask yourself- *HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR MY CAREER NOW!

    6. Can my academics give me a career settlement

    I tell you what-
    For most people, their academics will not give them a career.Few people, their academics will surely give them a career.For some people, their academics may give them a career
    Do you know the category you belong to?
    If you are studying professional courses like- LAW, MEDICINE, and NURSING…you can be sure of a career in those fields
    I have never seen a nurse or doctor jobless. They may not get the best-paying job but they have one
    Those one’s, their academics will surely give them a career
    If you have 1st class, your academics can also give you a career
    If you have 2.1, it is also likely that you get jobs in places including banks no matter your course
    There are chances for others as well.
    But the chances get lower based on your result and your course
    So, if you are in school, do your best to get the best grade.
    If you think your academics cannot give you a career for one reason or another other then, you continue to think- *WHAT CAN I DO?*

    7. ACADEMICS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO A CAREER

    even if you are not able to pursue your education as you wish
    Take for example this young man
    He came to me in Lagos and said he wanted to go to school but had no help
    I asked if he learnt any skill, and he said fashion designing
    I asked him how many years is he going to spend at school, and he said 4years.
    I asked if he would agree with me that some people would go to school and come back to learn fashion design, and he said YES
    I asked him if he believe he would make it if he face his fashion devotedly for 4years and he said YES
    Then, I told him: how about FACING YOUR FASHION FOR 4YEARS, by the end of that 4 years, you can then do a part-time programmes
    In short, two years after, he came to meet me in Lagos with his apprentice and he has also begun a part-time programme
    You see, school has become a problem for some people instead of a blessing.
    You thought you are done for if you can’t go to school.The fact is that you failed to see that not being able to go at this time opens you up for more opportunities.

    8. There is a second purpose you can choose

    Let’s say you want to build a career but your primary purpose is not clicking for one reason or the other…do you know that there is a second thing you can do?
    No man is made for one thing
    I can dedicate this phone to social media only or dedicate it to sms and calls only
    So, you can decide to build a career around that second thing

    9. The most important thing about a career is to decide

    Decide! Decide!What can you do?
    What do you want to do?
    And what are you doing?
    Can what you do at the moment put food on your table
    Do you think you can marry and raise children with it?
    So, what do you want to settle it?
    I think I can stop here and we can look into building a career by next teaching
    The two angles of career.
    Deciding for the best angle.
    Hustling vs building
    And more…

  • WHY GOD HATED ESAU AND LOVED JACOB – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    WHY GOD HATED ESAU AND LOVED JACOB – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    “… he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, ‘Your older son will serve your younger son.’ In the words of the Scriptures, ‘I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau .” (Romans 9:12-13 NLT)”

    Today, I will deviate a bit. I was a child when I used to hear preachers say God hated Esau while he was still in the womb for no obvious reasons and He loved Jacob unconditionally. I stand to tell you that, that assertion is erroneous and a distorted view of God. God can love a man unconditionally but He cannot h any man unconditionally.I told you that to understand the Scriptures, bear in mind the CAN DO of God and the CANNOT DO of God. The Holy Spirit taught me that as a child. Abraham told God, you CANNOT act wickedly. That was because he knew God’s nature and character.To hit the nail, when Esau and Jacob were in the womb God said the older will serve the younger but God didn’t say he hated any. Be patient with me.Remember that Esau and Jacob were twins. This means that they were given birth to on the s ame day. Today, we have many people who are not as rich as their younger brothers and they are living fine. Also, there are persons who have bosses that are of the same age as their younger ones and they are happy with their jobs. So, saying that Jacob would be greater than Esau was not a curse.If you read your Bible, you will realize that Esau became established and successful before Jacob. While Jacob was roaming and slaving under Laban, Esau had 400men serving him. Esau had founded Edom long before the nation of Israel was established. When the Israelites were suffering in Egypt for 430 years and wandering in the wilderness for 40years, Edom was already a kingdom (Gen.36:15).My point is, Esau was richer than Jacob in their lifetimes (read your Bible). The blessing was actually upon the nations that both men would establish separately because God told Rebecca that there were two nations in her. God saw them as nations not individuals.At what point did God say He hated Esau? It wasn’t when they were in t he womb. In fact, it wasn’t in their lifetimes. It was long after they were dead. And God wasn’t referring to the individuals; He was referring to Edom and Israel. He said Edom, I hate, Israel I love (Malachi 1:1&2).Trust me, the Israel God loved suffereda lot due to their rebellion but God assured them that He would never leave them. And in God’s plan, Edom was to prosper alongside with Israel (Deut. 23:7&8). It is like Israel becoming the USA of today and Edom becoming the UK. But they both failed God. Edom’s major offence among others was that they took advantage of Israel’s predicament in their days of punishment (Obadiah 1:210).God loved Israel unconditionally and yet punished them gravely. He did a lot for them but didn’t do everything for them. And He never hated Edom unconditionally. Even Pharaoh was not hated unconditionally; he first led himself into the hate zone.

  • Why did God’s Generals die the way they died – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    Why did God’s Generals die the way they died – Pst. Ife ADETONA

    “Do you know that great characters in the book: “God’s General” whom God used to perform several miracles died of the same diseases God used them to cure?”

    I am sure you have heard this said in different quarters BUT have you asked: “why did they die that way?”

    Kenneth Hagin gave a robust answer. I am sure that you’re not ready for the details. Let me try to brief it:

    1. Healing Anointing is meant for the people and not for the minister. Today, there are not many healing ministers who are not on medication themselves. Why? A minister needs KNOWLEDGE OF FAITH to get healing to his body and for his own health.

    2. They REFUSED to judge themselves in terms of their DIET. That was what Kenneth Hagin said. Her even said that one of them used to eat like a cow. He said he didn’t mean to insult anyone but that was he true. That man of God would labour all day forgetting to eat then, in the midnight, He would eat a big fat meal.

    3. They REFUSED to judge themselves in terms of LOVE towards other believers. May the Lord teach our heart to walk in love.

    There could many others like sin and health management.

    If you understand these things as a minister of God, you won’t see arrows but self discipline

    QUESTION: you said in your message that there is no money-printing machine in heaven and that God cannot rain down cash from heaven. But in a programme held recently by XXX, they prayed down money and people testified of their naira notes getting multiplied. How can that be justified?

    ANSWER: I won’t be discussing the authenticity of the miracle whether it’s true or false. That’s not my job. Those involved can best explain how the money come by.

    But I tell you what, the only authorised organisation that can mint the naira is CBN, if money is printed in any other place either on earth or in space, it is a fake, a counterfeit and except you are calling God a counterfeiter, you won’t say He is printing money.

    Another thing is that every naira note has a serial number. That is why if you collect fresh notes, you would see that the number is in order. If any money is not printed by the CBN, it won’t follow that order and that makes it a fake. Again, God doesn’t print fake monies be it naira or dollar or whatever.

    The coin taken from the mouth of the fish which Jesus used to pay tax was an earthly coin that finds its way to the mouth of a fish. Remember, Jesus said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar”. The coin belonged to Caesar because it was minted by his government and so, it was returned to him. It wasn’t a fake. It wasn’t minted in heaven.

  • INTERACTING WITH ANGELS

    INTERACTING WITH ANGELS

    You may get confused by the many messages on the Supernatural that you listen to but let me tell you this:

    1. Seeing an angel is not a measure of spiritual growth

    There’s no point TALKING WITH AN ANGEL either physically or through a vision. So, when I tell you that seeing ANGELS or seeing Jesus is not a measure of spiritual growth, take it from me
    I have seen Lord Jesus Christ before in a vision speaking to me and it took a while. I know a young man who was desperate for these things and he ended up being Possessed Seeing angels is not seekable through prayers or fasting except if you want to hurt yourself
    You may encounter a demon in the process
    There’s absolutely nothing like praying to the point where you see angels

    2. Seeing angels is for the hard of hearing

    Take this first fact from me Seeing or interacting with an angel is not necessary or important
    This is it,
    Those who are hard of hearing, are deaf people that could hear faintly
    Like, he isn’t even a believer
    If God knew that he wanted to use a man but this man is out of touch with him
    Those who are hard of hearing, are deaf people that could hear faintly
    When Ayo Babalola had his first encounter with a voice calling him, he wasn’t even a Christian but an idol worshiper
    God may do something extra-ordinary just to get his attention
    When Paul had the encounter with God, he was a murderer
    So, if you see a Christian boast of seeing an angel talk to him, let him know that the experience was actually for natural men and not necessarily for spiritual men
    If you want your horse to talk then you may have to desire to behave like Balaam
    Even Balaam horse talked
    I hope I am not dashing somebody’s hope

    3. Talking with angels is predestination and assignment based

    But some men have been chosen before they were born for an assignment and that assignment requires seeing and talking with angels
    Some spiritual men talk to angels
    Everything I have said about angels so far applies to seeing Lord Jesus as well
    If you don’t have such an assignment, you don’t need much experience
    Is somebody angry to hear that
    You may want to ask, BUT WHY?

    4. Talking with angels is purely a result of God’s prerogative

    Man has almost no role to play in this.
    Have I dismissed the works of angels among men? No.
    That being said
    Have I said people can’t see angels? No.
    I just need you to approach with the right mindset
    In fact, after this teaching, you’ll have your first angelic encounter

    WHY TALKING with an angel is purely God’s prerogative

    God doesn’t want a New Testament to be led by visions of angels all the time1. God doesn’t want you to be led by your five senses but by His spiritHe was carried by the Spirit into a desert
    Look at Philip-
    Then he saw an Angel
    He was carried by the Spirit into a desert
    And that way, he won a soul and the African continent
    Then the Holy Spirit led him on what to say and how to say it
    God always want us to anchor on the Holy Spirit
    And not to be carried away by other things
    Those who are led by the Spirit are the sons of God
    The Scripture says-
    Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God
    They are not boys or girls or children but SONS
    meaning, the mature son that is fit to be heir
    At the time Babalola saw an Angel, he was even less of a babe
    He didn’t say as many are led by angels2. God wants us to follow him by faith and not by sight
    If you want sight, feelings, touch, go to doubting Thomas
    John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

    EXISTENCE OF ANGELS

    Now, let’s talk about angels
    They are created beings by God that operates both in heaven and on the earth1. God wants you to know that angles are real
    These beings relate with us, MAN!
    They are God’s messengers that run to deliver his message and follow up on his wills
    We are meant to relate and interact as they interact with us but not always in the regular assumption of talking to them
    God wants you to believe that they exist
    He wants you to acknowledge their involvement in the affairs of menDaniel knew angels were with him in the den
    He knew an angel had covered the mouth of the lions all night
    He didn’t see but he knew
    And he never held a conversation with them directly or indirectly
    Dan 6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths,

    PURPOSES OF ANGELS AMONG US

    Understanding what angels do or are meant to do is the pathway to knowing how to relate and interact with them
    Do you know that angels are in charge of money on earth?
    There are no banks or cbn in heaven but angles can make money flow in your direction if you understand how
    But for today, let’s examine the PROTECTION ROLE OF ANGELS
    We’ll see how to harness that on Thursday
    Heb 1:14 Are they, not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?To understand the protection role of an angel, the first thing you must acknowledge is that every believer had at least 3 angles guarding him
    That time I was dead sick
    I have seen my guardian angel once
    I thought I would die
    Why did God show me?
    So, I saw this huge angel by me
    I hope we will have time. If I teach you a bit about visions, you can see angels too
    As a sign to assure me that I won’t die!
    Meanwhile, I didn’t long or desire to see the angel.It was God’s prerogative
    I wasn’t interacting or talking to them.I hope you get the difference
    I saw that angel twice.
    After that time, I had been sick a couple of times. I didn’t see the angel but I knew that I won’t die
    I don’t have to.
    I knew I can’t die.
    My knowledge had increased beyond that
    God had no reason to show give me a sign.
    Meanwhile, not seeing the angel at other times doesn’t means he is not there
    You may want to ask, what if my knowledge had grown the first time, will I still see the angel
    I may likely not see it
    So have angels watching over you as you read this….you may not see it but you must understand and believe it

    He is!
    How do I know that I truly have an angel?
    Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven
    You were once a child, right?
    Here, Jesus said every little child has an angel standing before God on their behalf in heaven
    So, this angel has a job, to watch over you
    Does it mean that when you grow up, you lose your angel?
    Of course not
    Psalms 91:
    10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
    You hear about the earthquake happening in some places, but a Sadozite living abroad was miraculously spared
    Your angels will even ensure that you don’t hurt as much as your foot
    Even your foot
    Not your head this time o
    You know I told you that you have a minimum of three angels watching over you
    There is angel goodness and mercy Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
    You also have ANGEL GOODNESS & MERCY

    How do you annex this security work of these angels into your life
    1. BELIEVE
    believe as I have taught you2. Remind yourself of the fact that you are surrounded by these angels
    3. Call on them in times of need or fear
    If you are in a troubled situation or you ran into a riot
    Remind yourself that you have angels
    Praise God for their existence around you
    Decree that they keep you safe

    Let me give a practical

    You must never pray in fears
    You’re on a bus travelling and you have this fear of an accident
    You just pray like this:
    Father, I thank you because you’re my security
    Thank you for your covenant of peace and safety
    Thank you for mounting a guard around me
    I rebuke the spirit of fear and death on my way on this journey
    Thank you for giving me a guardian angel, angel goodness and angel mercy to watch over me to ensure that my foot is not hurt
    That’s the simple way to say it and it is powerful
    I command my angels who are ministering spirit to watch over me to keep me safe, this bus and everyone in it in Jesus’ Name. Amen
    You may need to speak your prayers aloud even if it’s just by a whisper
    Do this for everything and anything that needs protection, it works
    Especially in the areas where you rebuked and decreed
    In the next study, we will look at angels and financial provisions
    The light shines in darkness and darkness comprehends it not
