HOW SCRIPTURE UNION STARTED

REFLECTION
Since I got to know how the ministry of Scripture Union (SU) got exploded by the mystery of reflection, I do not take seasons of retreats or forced rest like the one I had recently for granted.

This is the story:

A man called Tom Bishop who was the first General Secretary of SU had an illness thus forcing him to have a bed rest. He never took leave. He was always working. He was the head of all the administrative tasks while Josiah Spiers, the president takes the public speakings and appearances. At the time of his rest, he remembered the shameless persistence of a teenage girl, Annie who had been writing letters to the ministry requesting that they print and distribute A Bible Reading Card where children will be required to read and memorize at least a passage per day. She has been doing that manually for her church Sunday School Class but wished for a printed version. Tom Bishop never liked the idea an inch. He said he didn’t believe in making little children make promises which they may end up not fulfilling. The girl kept writing letters for the same request and every time it was presented before the committee, it was thrown out.

During Tom’s reflection, he decided to give it a trial. And that was the bomb that spread the Scripture Union Ministry like wildfires across several nations of the Earth. The first year it was printed, the ministry attracted 6,000 members. And within 7years, they had 328,000 members in the UK alone.

The cards were soon distributed to surrounding nations. The missionaries leaving the UK to different countries including Nigeria took the card along leading to more members for the ministry. Within 14 years they had distributed up to 13 million copies in 50 languages of the world. It was that card that metamorphosed into a daily reading note or what is commonly called Daily Devotional today.

Moving on without reflecting could make your vision become deflected. We must think all along the way. We must retreat, take rests and open our hearts to a fresh breeze. We must find time to withdraw from the clogged tasks that filled up our minds for some moments so that fresh ideas can blow in. We must reassess our methods and approaches to seek room for improvement.

Bill Gates and many other Billionaires do go on what they call “thinking retreat” at least once in a year. It is a time they travel into forests to relax, think and read about subjects related to their fields and unrelated ones. Today, you see many of them entering the “space” exploration and business. It was because they took time out for adventurous reading on the subject matter.

Isa 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing.

I CAN NEVER BE SICK
Oh, Yes….. I mean I can never be sick❗
I’m very sure that when you sight this topic, the first thing that comes to your mind is that this guy is proud!
But I tell you, if you say so… You’re wrong, I’m not proud, I’m only boasting in the Lord as Paul says:

2 Corinthians 10:17

the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the lord.”

And here are the reasons why I am boasting, they are the reasons why I can’t be sick:

1.I HAVE A MOUTH
The mouth is an organ of speaking in the natural and the supernatural. The words that you speak matters a lot. You can speak feat and experience defeat. I’ve been able to meet with some people whom whenever they are speaking, they have attached some sicknesses to be their sickness, and sincerely no man can take it away from them. You’ll hear them say things like “My Malaria is here again”, “I use to fall sick every month preceding birthday”, ” Typhoid is my sickness” etc. So you can’t say this in the physical realm, and not expect it to be happening in the spiritual realm. The words that you speak in the natural can create your world in the spiritual.

Proverbs 18:21
[21]Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

2. I HAVE THE WORD
Another reason why I can never fall sick is that I have the word of God, and the word of God is the capsule of my Divine health. At times, whenever I’m feeling somehow in me and I’m feeling some symptoms of sickness, what I do is that, I’ll look for the word of God that speaks about my health and I will begin to eat, chew and regurgitate it from within me, and before I know it, the symptoms will just disappear.
I was thinking through at a time and then Holy Spirit told me that if the devil wants to win a Battle over a Christian, what he will do first is that, he’ll work on his memory to forget what the word of God says concerning his situation and then push him into it and start thinking of solutions rather than the word of God.
The psalmist says the word of God performs the work of health and healing to him.

Proverbs 4:20-22
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them amid thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Billy Graham (of blessed Memory), died at the age of 99 and he didn’t fall sick during his lifetime. Even at old age, he wasn’t sick, he died a natural death. When some people questioned him and asked for the secret of his Divine Health, he said one doze of proverb and 2 dozes of Psalm every morning (The word of God).

3. I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED
The word ‘Redemption’ means a certain PRICE has been paid to bail someone that is in a prison. This PRICE is called RANSOM. And this means, earlier before now, I was in a prison. And the person that pushed me into the prison is called Adam, the captor is the devil, but JESUS paid my bill by His blood and the payment is once and for all.

He did this on the cross of Calvary. The 3 major things He paid for, were sin, sickness, and poverty.

Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.

4. I GOT KNOWLEDGE
You may care to know the difference between a believer that do fall sick and the one that doesn’t use to fall sick. The difference is what Jesus stated in Matthew 7 about the 2 men that were building and the difference is knowledge.

Isaiah 5:13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no KNOWLEDGE: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

2 Peter 1:3
According to as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and godliness, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

God says in the book of Isaiah that “My people” are in captivity in which sickness is part of it, because they lack knowledge. “My people” here means they are Believers. Peter also says that as a believer you need to live good in your life even before considering your spirituality, and all these packages are rightly embedded in God and can be accessible through KNOWLEDGE.

Why not get knowledge today?
Last month marked the 6th year that I’ve been living without falling sick.
I’ve embedded all the Principles of Divine Health in a book titled “FORTIFIED HEALTH”
In the book, you’ll be exposed to how Jesus won the Battle of sickness for you and how you can move from the level of Divine healing to Divine health.
In the book, you’ll see the testimonies of those that have practiced all the Principles and how they are living right now without falling sick.
In the book also, there are 100 Healing scriptures that are meant for your consumption.

One thing funny about the Israelites is that they were having a very short memory; they forget things so easily.

Here we are, in Chapter 17 at Rephidim

Exodus 17:2-7

“Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smitest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?”

At Marah, there was water but it was bitter. But at Rephidim, there was no water at all. And don’t forget about their short memory problem. They started grumbling and murmuring against God, and grumbled against Moses to the extent that they almost stoned him.
Moses went ahead to commune with God and God told him to take his staff, call on some elders, and they should meet with Him on Mount Sinai. When they got there, Moses was asked to stroke his rod on the Rock and water came out. And that place was called MASSAH(A place where God was tempted) and MERIBAH(A place where Moses was argued with)

WHO IS THAT Rock??
Don’t forget that we aim to bring out Jesus from the scene😊

1 Corinthians 10:1-4Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and the sea;
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

If you’ve been blessed by this article, type ‘JESUS, THE ROCK’🤗 🤗 .

IMMORTAL KOMBAT (II)

I have been to several prayer meetings that the only prayer said in the meeting was prayer against enemies. I have met with several pastors whose area of ministerial calling is to be an enemy fighter.

But the question we should ask ourselves is, “Is what we are doing biblical?” Certainly, we established from the Bible, in the last part, that the enemies exist and in fact the Bible gives us some fighting techniques which we would be looking at in subsequent parts of this series.

This sect of people always get confused whenever they read the word of Jesus concerning how we deal with the enemy.

Matthew 5:43-44
[43]Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[44]But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

I told you I have always been with this sect of people and in fact I grew up among them and I always see confusion whenever we are dealing with particular word of Jesus.

The question that we ask is “Why do we pray against our enemies when Jesus said we should love them and pray for them?” And the answer is this: People approach Christian warfare as a Mortal Kombat but it should be dealt with immortally.

Mortal Kombat will point at one old Grandma in your family that has this wicked attitude towards everyone but Immortal Kombat will address the spirit that is pushing the woman to do such act.

Mortal Kombat will hate that woman physically but immortal Kombat will love her, bless her and do good to her physically.

Mortal Kombat addresses issues with physical lens but Immortal Kombat addresses it with the perspective of the Spirit because the spiritual controls the physical.

Mortal Kombat deals with a human figure but immortal Kombat deals with a spirit figure.

We will discuss the fighting strategy in the next part. Are you blessed? Type: I’M A SPIRIT.

Do you have any questions regarding this? Also drop it in the comment box.

IMMORTAL KOMBAT (I)

Can you remember the popular game called Mortal Combat? It’s called such because it’s a fight between two mortal men. But today we will be talking about the the concept of fight of the immortals. The immortals are spirits and of course I want you to know that the real you is your spirit man. You’re not mortal but an immortal.

We as spirit men have an enemy which is immortal too, infact our fight is not physical at all but spiritual. We orchestrate our fighting styles from the spirit realm.

In this first part of the article, I want to open your eyes to the realization of the fact that enemies exist and in the subsequent parts, we will dive more into how to deal with them.

Abrahamic Covenant
Genesis 12:3
[3]And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Do you notice that this covenant says that there are so many people that will or that are blessing you ….them that bless you….. but you have one person somewhere that’s cursing you …… Curse him that curse you……? If we are entitled to the blessing of Abraham then we must register it in our hearts that an enemy exists.

A soldier’s mentality
2 Timothy 2:3-4
[3]Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
[4]No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

The Bible likens us to a soldier that’s preparing for war in this verse. When you hear about war, the first thing that will come to your mind is a fight between two parties. This should register in your mind that we as believers have an enemy and must always be alert to wage war against him.

The Parable of the wheat and tares
Matthew 13:24-25
[24]Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
[25]But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

This parable points to the kingdom of heaven and of course who are the citizens of the kingdom? Believers of course. When this man slept, the enemy who had been looking for a means of access into this man then had his way.

Who is the enemy of the believers?
Watch out for more light in the next part.

Are you enlightened by this? Type “I’m an immortal.”

UNLOCKING THE HEALING POWER IN YOU: FAITH

Hello Dear Reader, You’re welcome again this week to this blog. Hope you’ve been enjoying this series so far. Today, we are considering the subject of Faith.

To understand this concept very well, we need to first understand the fact that we have different types of faith in the Bible which are:

1. Saving Faith
2. Receiving/Living Faith
3. Fruit of Faith
4. Gift of Faith

SAVING FAITH
Ephesians 2:8
[8]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

This is the type of Faith that brings us to the family of Christ. It’s simply believing in the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2. LIVING FAITH
Hebrews 10:38
[38]Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in

This is the type of Faith we use in carrying out daily activities.

3. FRUIT OF FAITH
This is the type of Faith that’s called faithfulness in the list of the fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22
[22]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

4. GIFT OF FAITH
This is the type of Faith that’s classified as part of the power Gifts in the list of the gifts of the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:9
[9]To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

It’s this gift of Faith that is responsible for the healing operation, it helps to either minister or receive healing.

It was in operation in the live of the woman with the issue of blood, for Jesus Himself testified about it.

Mark 5:34
[34]And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

It was also this Faith that was at work in the story of Peter and John at the beautiful gate. Peter when he was full of faith told the man that he should look on them because he’s having the ability to heal the sick and after that the lame man was leaping for joy.

MY EXPERIENCE
I was about to sleep one night when I received a call from one of my friends and she told me that she was having excruciating tooth pain and that I should pray with her. I was down and not feeling any urge to pray but then, the Faith in whom(Jesus) I carry welled up in me and I prayed with her. And the following day when I called her, she was full of joy and she testified that she was planning to go to the hospital before but she’s no more going.

You have to believe that you carry the life of God and you can transmit it anyday anytime, the only thing you need is to believe.

John 14:12
[12]Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Jesus says you’ll do greater works of healing among others but the only requirement is to believe. If you believe you can do the work of Jesus and beyond type ‘I BELIEVE’ .

UNLOCKING THE HEALING POWER IN YOU: COMPASSION

UNLOCKING THE HEALING

Happy New Year to you all.
This year is going to deliver to you everything you desire and that you’ve called it in Jesus name.

This year, we are all going to be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the water covers the sea. Just make sure that you’re always in touch with us twice every week and I’m sure you will be edified as you continually visit this site.

There’s a healing power that’s locked up in every believer. “I’m not called into healing ministry” is not an excuse. There’s surely some levels that those that are called into the healing ministry can explore easily but the fact still remains that there is healing power in all believers. Are you a believer? Then, you can heal the sick.

Mark 16:18
[18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

I’ve encountered so many grown-up believers and they have never got a sick person healed ever since they have believed and I’ve met some young believers that the exploit that they’ve performed in their short span of life is enormous. It’s not as if God is the one that is partial, even according to His word, everyone has the ability to heal the sick and He had embedded into all believers the ability to heal the sick, but the problem is with the man.

To unlock the healing prowess in you, what you really need is COMPASSION. I have seen so many people crying out loud to God to allow them lay hands on the sick and to be healed but inside of them, they are nursing Pride. They are like “If I get him healed, I must publish it round the world so that the world can know that I’ve arrived also”. I took a time to study what drove out the miraculous anointing out of Jesus and what I saw was Compassion, can we see it together?

MaTithew 14:14
[14] And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with COMPASSION toward them, and he healed their sick.

Mark 1:41
[41]And Jesus, moved with COMPASSION, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

Matthew 20:34
[34]So Jesus had COMPASSION on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Luke 7:13
[13]And when the Lord saw her, he had COMPASSION on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

Compassion is the pathway to the supernatural. Until you are continually filled with it, you may not see yourself in the pathway of the miraculous.

MY EXPERIENCES
The first experience I will love to share with you is my Healing School experience. Before we graduated from the Healing school of the Koinonia Bible Institute, SADOZ(Get in touch with the source of this blog to know more about the school), we needed to go out and heal the sick and at least 5 sick people must be healed before graduating. When I met with my patient, this sister told me that she hadn’t seen her monthly flow of blood for over 6 months ago and also she was having ulcer and asthma (3 in 1 Demonic combo😭)

As I heard this, I was moved in the spirit and didn’t know when I was filled with compassion and I began to weep. After a while, I prayed with her and it was her good news that woke me up that she saw her monthly flow over night and she was also healed of other illnesses to the glory of God the Father.

The motivation for my first book titled THE FORTIFIED HEALTH was not money, neither was it fame; it was out of compassion because whenever I heard the testimony of “I am sick” from any believer…I used to feel like crying and since the time I published the book by the help of the Holy Spirit, people have always been giving testimony.

Are you driven by fame or money order than self esteem? My dear, the anointing will only come via the platform of genuine compassion.

Can you confess and pray this prayer in the comment box? “I AM BAPTIZED WITH COMPASSION TOWARD OTHERS”.

CHRISTMAS CONTROVERSY

Timothy 1:4″

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do”

Should we celebrate Christmas? Merry Christmas to you! I can’t imagine believers and even Christian leaders causing a fuss over this matter. When we leave the core of Christianity and pursue the unnecessary doctrines, we tend to veer from the truth like some people who are now with the devil, fallen from grace.

If I celebrate Christmas, what effect does it have on my Christianity and if I don’t, what effect does it have on my faith? Nothing and absolutely nothing. Some laid claims that the Christmas celebration is idolatry and it was in memory of some Roman gods. I want to ask: when you hear Christmas, what comes to your mind —Jesus’ sacrifice or some unknown gods? Whatever comes to your mind is the reason and motivation behind your celebration. When you have a clear conscience, you are at peace with God. God doesn’t have issues with you celebrating Christmas or not, but you start having issues with your faith when you get distracted by such fables.

Some have also asked, “Do we need a special day to recognize Jesus birth?” I agree that we can celebrate and should celebrate Jesus every day of our lives but let me register it to you that Satan is having issues with Christmas celebration and that is why he is sponsoring so many arguments along the line. Forgetfulness, they say, is a blessing to the human race and we don’t forget things suddenly but gradually. It is the importance of a thing that first fades away before the event is entirely forgotten, thus the need for memorials to refresh our minds. God told the Israelite pilgrims en route Canaan land to keep objects and materials as reminders in teaching their unborn generations. This will make them reverence their God. I believe that is the wisdom behind museums today. Jesus also instructed us to keep the Holy Communion mainly as a memorial before other purposes.

Back to Christmas celebration, it is a period where the sacrifice of Jesus is refreshed upon our minds. It is our memorial. No matter how holy or spiritual you have been all the year, when it is Christmas, there is an aura that brings us more into the reality of our Saviour.

Let’s celebrate our Christmas, let it be a period to re-unite with family members, friends, relations and reach out to the unsaved and unbelieving neighbours as we go on to remember the precious sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.

However, if you haven’t experienced salvation and you claim to celebrate Christmas, even if your name is Jeremiah, you have no portion in the everlasting life. You don’t get born again by birth or naturalization, you get saved by seeing a need and going for it. You can have it now.

Say this prayer, _”Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour today. I believe in your death and resurrection and sacrifice for my sins. I receive the grace to continue in my walk of faith in Jesus name.”_ Contact the source of this devotional for follow up. Thank you.

May the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you!
