  • MUMMY G. O

    MUMMY G. O

    If not that “Mummy G.O” overplayed her hand and added to the scripts…if she had stayed with the scripts like her predecessors and simply condemn Baba Adeboye, Prophet Obadare, Bishop Oyedepo, Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa, Bimbo Odukoya and others who are the regular mentions when it comes to their hellish vision–may be you would have believed her. May be you would have bought her books. May be you would have distributed her tapes. May the LORD help you.

    Hear this, any vision that makes it looks harder for a believer to enter heaven and makes hell easier to go to IS FROM HELL in order to discourage you from the heavenly race.

    It is very difficult for a believer (a person who confesses Jesus as Lord and lives in the consciousness of that confession) to miss heaven and quite easy to make heaven. A believer cannot be on the way to hell and not know it. It is not something you enter into by mistake.

    While you are busy praying, groaning and crying to God to help you to make heaven- angels are busy saying to you that heaven is not a problem but your dominion here on the earth. You are asking for the Kingdom of Heaven, God is saying no problem but you haven’t occupied the earth with the power of the gospel. See- you can’t reign on the earth as His priest and His king and lose heaven.

    I have said this 100 times- some have chosen to go to heaven like the poor Lazarus but I have chosen to go like the rich Abraham.

  • GARRI WITHOUT JOY (THE FORCE OF JOY)

    GARRI WITHOUT JOY (THE FORCE OF JOY)

    This is likely not the first time you heard me say if you’re drinking Garri, don’t shed tears. Garri water and tear water doesn’t give a good mix. In the same light, whatever you are going through today, don’t wear yourself out with self-pity.

    I don’t know what the high cost of stuff is doing to your pocket right now or how many meals you could afford a day as a result. I don’t know how angry you get when you hear that the cost of bathing soap has increased or when the Gas man made you turned back because of additional #50 but GOD IS SENDING ME TO YOU. Don’t feel bad. Cut your cost if you have to but don’t feel bad.

And don’t try to be like your neighbours. If you are forced to cook with sticks or charcoal today, do it with gladness because that is not your end.

    In 2017, I was there soaking on a cup of Garri, the thing poured on the table, I packed it smiling. Today, hot water splashed on my leg, I said- thank you, Jesus, it wasn’t more than that. I opened the tap on it and it started hurting, I said: thank you, Jesus, my cells are not dead.

    The reason you’re sad is not because things are hard, it is because you haven’t learnt to look beyond the unpalatable circumstances. Things have never been cheaper in this nation especially. Every New Year, people tell how better the previous year was and how expensive things are now. You should be tired of lamenting about this already.

    I stopped lamenting in 2016 when I saw a supposed rich woman told me in January how things were hard “these days”. I was like, you mean things are hard already in January? From that day, I stopped lamenting and stopped condoling lamentators around me. You need to stay away from such people and discussions. It has never made life better for anyone.

  • HAVING ENCOUNTERS WITH ANGELS

    HAVING ENCOUNTERS WITH ANGELS

    Don’t let any man bully you into thinking that without a #heavenly vision or a celestial visitation, your christian life is not complete.

    If your assignment requires you having such visit, you won’t even pray for it.

    From the days of Cornelius, most people who had such visit weren’t even a believer before having their first “encounter”. They needed those encounters because they were NATURAL men who lack the word of God.

    A young man once called me and said that he wanted one of such encounters. I simply told him that he was born into the church, he grew in the church, he lives in the “word environment”. His encounter will come from Communion with the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures.

    Such angelic visits is meant for two things among others: if a man is a natural man. That is, he his not in the faith and God needed to attract his attention like the burning bush, He would visit them supernaturally. They don’t have to believe in God to even have this.

    Secondly, if a man assignment requires it and in the wisdom of God, He feels you need it. I read of a great healing evangelist in the similitude of John G. Lake whose encounter came from Acts 10:38.

    Kenneth Copeland told of a man who fasted his lungs out to see Jesus appear to him. Copeland said that the things he said Jesus told him, if he sit with 1 Corinthians chapter 1, he would get even more.

    See, the biggest encounter is with the word. And you don’t need an angelic visitation or that of patriarchs of faith to validate your calling or the extent at which God would use you in the ministry.

  • IF YOU DESIRE GREATNESS, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS (PLATFORM)

    IF YOU DESIRE GREATNESS, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS (PLATFORM)

    They have #PLATFORMS
    The moment you hear of a successful person especially someone of the same line of a career as yours, your mind quickly goes to work searching for the reason why he is succeeding and you are not.

    It is not uncommon to hear words like: he’s from a rich background, he is only leveraging on the influence of his parents, his church has a ready platform for him, he is a white man, he lives in Lagos, it’s because he is short and so on.

    I remembered the time I was discussing with people about the pressing of God upon my heart to go full time in the ministry. A man literally told me that if it was someone like his own son, he would have agreed to it but for someone like me, it is a wrong decision. What was his reason? He said, his own son for instance has a parent that can fund him at the initial stage but someone like me doesn’t have such a background to rely upon. Please, don’t fault him. That is how a lot of people think and we are making a big mistake.

    That someone has some background or whatever to leverage upon is not the reason for his success. There are many people with the same opportunity who are nowhere near it. And there are many more a lot of people without those opportunities and they are making waves.

    Let me even agree with you for a second that the platform some have is the reason for their success but you must also agree with me that the lack of it, is not a determinant for your future. So, stop thinking that way.

    Don’t accept that statement into your heart again. It kills the striving spirit in you. You may not know it. But it’s simply giving you an excuse for being at the point you are thereby failing to see what God can do through you and what you can do with God.

    If you say the Bamiloyes have a ready-made platform, what would you say about Baba and Mama? Yet they made it. If you cannot be “the Bamiloye Junior” then you should be the “Baba or Mama Bamiloye” for your children.

    Besides, everyone has a platform. Everyone has a unique opportunity. You may fail to see yours but you do. The fish cannot fly but it can swim. The bird cannot run but it glides through the winds. The Elephant has no claws but it has muscles. The Lion is not a giant but it is a skilful hunter. The soldier ants have no bones but they have unity. The ants are very tiny but they are organized.

    My conclusion from the onset of my ministry is that I have no platform or charisma or the character to lobby but I have God and I have me- that’s enough.

    Decide to be a creator of the platform you lack.

  • Pastor’s Diary: Dispensing Value

    Pastor’s Diary: Dispensing Value

    I met with one of my Discipler on campus some weeks ago, when we he first saw me what He said was that since many years we see last, I didn’t increase or decrease in height and width and I was laughing. And I started to be looking at my stature and campus memories begins to be coming back to me.

    When I had the opportunity to be the Central Christian Body President and we were to be welcoming the freshers to campus and be helping them with their registration, you’ll see some freshers just reacting to you as if you’re their younger brother and saying “Sir” (giving accolade) to my subordinates that are having big stature than I do.

    I even caught one to my fellowship and when he got to the Wednesday prayer meeting, he was trying to prove spirituality by telling us some “spiritual vision” of which when I checked in the Spirit, I saw that it was given so that we can know that he is spiritual. Some will even be greeting me and be telling me “How far” and I’ll exchange with I’m fine sir😂

    But as time goes on, some of them knew that I was the president at the break time fellowship on campus, Just a ministration I took wiped off what my stature had painted in their mentality and defines whom I am to them. After that ministration, they started to be bending their posture before greeting me, and before leaving campus ALL of them started to be calling me their Dad and I mentored so many of them to the point that they started bringing up children as well.

    Not on campus alone, I’ve been to so many places to minister that, at the introduction that I’ll be the one that will minister, it will be obvious in so many people’s faces that they are disappointed, I was even at a place that immediately I got there the ushers have welcomed me like a member before the man of God that invited me to minister came around but after my ministration in those places, what I do receive I exchange of how I was initially treated is Honor. Why Honor? Because of the value, I dispense while ministering.

    Dear Pastor, Don’t take any opportunity to stand on the pulpit for granted, Don’t be discouraged by the numbers of people you want to minister to, but think about value, think about what you can add to the lives of your audience, think about the souls of men. Dispense value because the value will command honor.

  • BLIND MENTORSHIP

    BLIND MENTORSHIP

    You all know that story of three blind men taken to the Zoo to touch an Elephant. When each was asked to describe what an elephant looks like, they all said three different things based on their experiences.

    The first one had touched the trunk of the Elephant and so, said an Elephant is like a long rope. Another had touched the skin and said an Elephant is like a wall. The last one touched the tail and so, he said an Elephant is short and full of hairs.

    Your mentor is like a dice 🎲, they have up to six dimensions. Until you have observed and understudy them from all sides, you can’t really say what they look like or what they are. You can observe a man of God and conclude that he’s a prosperity preacher. Yes, he could be a prosperity preacher but have you studied him enough to hear him preach about prayer? I bet you, the day you hear him preach prayer, you would think that he’s a prayer & deliverance minister.

    That’s why some of you have come into shock and surprises hearing your mentor speak about concepts you never imagined they have an idea on.

    Learning and observing from all sides is what makes a mentee a mentee and not looking from one angle only or listening to just a message or reading few books else you may not learn all what God has prepared for you to learn. That explains the reason people jump from one mentor to the other without really learning from any. They switch mentors as if they are changing clothes.

    And that’s one reason I try to read ALL THE BOOKS or most of the books of my mentors. I go as far as reading about them on Wikipedia where available. I really want to KNOW because that is how mantle falls and not by seeing someone in the dream.

  • IDENTIFYING SPIRITUAL FATHER 2

    IDENTIFYING SPIRITUAL FATHER 2

    Some of you read part one where I emphasized accessibility as a factor in choosing a spiritual father and you said you were blessed. All the glory to God.

    In this second part, I want to talk about young men and ladies who get annoyed when an elder to them refer to them as “my son” or “my daughter”.

    We were having devotion in the house yesterday with some of my children and leaders in the ministry when they told me how people try to adopt them overnight and put a stamp of ” my son”, “my daughter” on them.

    The question is, what should you do when a person you didn’t consider a father call you a son. It is simple, SMILE and say, yes sir.

    The person or pastor could call you that based on various factors. Culturally, it is acceptable. Every child is a son or daughter to every elder. The person could be your church pastor or in a position where you are under his ministry directly or indirectly. The person could be anybody and could say it for any reason including trying to claim what is not his. The truth is, no one will call a mad man or a rebellious child in the ministry or street “my son”, or ” my daughter”. You were so-called because you’re a good child.

    When you become great in life, someone who has never seen you in life and whom you never knew will call you “my son”. It is a sign that you’re doing well. Those whom you didn’t even know their surname will call you “my bosom friend” and those who claim to have received you in the dream will call you “my father.”

    Don’t stress yourself, don’t feel offended, don’t be angry. When a man calls you my child, say- “yes sir”. If you don’t see him as your father or as a father figure, don’t do the mistake of replying with “yes dad” or “yes father”. Some people go about calling everyone “my father” and when those call them “my child”, they come to tell us that they are displeased.

    I just told you not to act rebelliously to any elder. Don’t tell them they aren’t your father. Don’t rub it on their faces. But in cases, where the person is acting entitled or possessive towards you, simply withdraw. Talk to them less, see them less, escape their presence and be fine. Don’t get into friction with them.

    Meanwhile, our youths need to be taught to appreciate those they came across in their spiritual path and journey in life. Your spiritual journey started with your parent, the pastors that christened you, your Sunday school teachers, your church pastors, your youth leaders and more.

    Your church leaders especially pastors are very important in your life. Your church is probably the first place you had the chance to stand on the altar to talk to people. That makes them your launchers.

    In short, all the people we meet either you learn “new” revelation from them or you later realise many faults and shallowness in their understanding, they remain your God sent angels because IF THEY WERE NOT THERE YOU WON’T BE HERE. Don’t disrespect them. Don’t deny them to right to call you son or daughter. It is their right. Don’t feel offended when they do. You may not be attached to them as far as the father-son relationship is concerned but don’t act arrogantly towards them. Will you be offended if Bishop Oyedepo call you “my son” even though you don’t have such a relationship with him? Will you be angry if some stranger calls you my father? Then, why are you angry that someone who taught you in the children church calls you “my son”?

    There are some I call daddy and mummy not because they are my “spiritual” father but they are father figures to me in many ways. I am happy when they call me son as well. I have learnt a lot from them and there are more to gain. But if you’re not comfortable calling someone daddy or mummy for whatever reason, don’t bother. Just respect them.

    And for the strangers who lay claim on your life, don’t argue, don’t fight, take it as a compliment and move on.

    Are you blessed?

  • Post NYSC Phobia 3

    Post NYSC Phobia 3

    Corper Weeeeeee😀

    Welcome to the concluding part of this series. I talked about service as a means of creating the needed job in the previous session. If you missed the first 2 sessions, you can have them back via these links:

    Part 1:https://healingnexusblog.com/post-nysc-phobia-part-1/

    Part2: https://healingnexusblog.com/post-nysc-phobia-part-2/

    In the previous session, I promised to teach on how to create the work we need through the instrumentality of Faith.

    FAITH

    Let me start by explaining to us that Faith is an action word(verb), not a noun. There are different kinds of Faith;

    👉Saving faith Ephesians 2:8
    👉Gift of Faith 1Corinthians 12:9
    👉Fruit of Faith Galatians 5:22
    👉Living Faith Romans1:17
    👉 God kind of Faith Mark 11:22.

    LIVING FAITH vs GOD KIND OF FAITH

    Out of the kinds of Faith that we have, we shall be considering living faith and the God’s kind of Faith, because we live, and have our being, through the Living Faith

    *Romans 1:17*
    _”For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the Just shall live by faith.”_

    This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This has been accomplished right from the beginning to the end, by faith. As the Scriptures say, “Romans 1:
    [17]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

    Mark 11:22
    “Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.”

    The book of Romans tells us that we live by Faith, and the book of also Mark tells us that we should have God kind of Faith. Then we should ask ourselves what kind of Faith is God’s kind of Faith?
    👉 It’s a SPEAKING Faith

    Hebrews 11:3
    “Through faith we understand that the words were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

    We can deduce from here, that the whole universe was created by God through the words He said. As He’s saying it, they were coming to manifestation. So therefore, to use faith to create the needed Job after your service too, you need to be ‘SPEAKING FORTH’ whatever you want to see in Faith. How then do we achieve this?:

    1. You keep declaring thus: ‘It’s not possible for me to be jobless after my service year because I am a servant of God even while serving.

    2. When you’re about to pass out of your service, you act in faith by applying for job opportunities online and you keep confessing, declaring and annoucing that you’ve been employed, because the word of God says you shall spend your days in Prosperity (Job 36:11).

    3. Acting in faith still means that you acquire a skill and start a business of your own,trust me, you’ll enjoy God’s blessings in it. And you can be as rich as you desire/imagine, If you meet up with the first point I mentioned in session 2, and you are diligent, hardworking and a thinker in whatever you do.

    4. Acting in faith is still withdrawing from applying for job whenever God says so. Let me share my experience with you here.

    I shared in the previous session of how I got an appointment immediately after my service year. But it’ll interest you to know that I spent only 3 months at the work place because I resigned.
    Why???
    God says so.
    He said I should resign into ministry. Peradventure you are reading this, and God is calling you into ministry as well, please do not be afraid. Do not bother about where your food will come from. In fact, rejoice that you have been (also) employed into the company of God, and the wealth of every worker is always measured by the track record the owner had made over time. If you are working in Chevron, you automatically know that you’ll be paid in :6 digits’ because of how wealthy the owners of the company are. So, do not compare yourself with the wealth of God being the CEO of the company you’re working in. Then you’d realize that God is having a much better offer for you. You don’t need worry about the expected way, what He promised you is the expected end, and friend, may I tell you this for free?

    After subscribing to what God says, the blessings that came to me just within 2 months of my resignation from the company I was working with, was 4 folds of what I was earning in the company as well.
    So.. Trust God to take care of you if He’s giving you the appointment to work with Him in ministry.

    The next Series on this blog with me is on ‘Angels‘ .

  • Post NYSC Phobia (Part 2)

    Post NYSC Phobia (Part 2)

    Fear is belittling the ability and capability of God. Anything that is fearful is not of faith, and anything that is not of faith is a sin. Fear is Spiritual, so we must deal with it Spiritually.

    What am I to do to overcome the fear of joblessness after my service year?

    Fear is belittling the ability and capability of God

    1. SERVICE

    If you are a believer, you must let this settle in you that you’re saved and sanctified so as to serve in God’s vineyard. But there are some believers who are saved , sanctified and are satisfied. Those that fall into this second category, are the believers that are ignorant. You must let this settle down in you that to receive anything from God, you must be a servant. Of course, we are serving God primarily because we love Him. But much more, the other reason serve as an added advantage to our service to God which is, He attends to every of our needs. So, you can’t be in service in God’s vineyard, and not be serviced.
    Every church do have an entry door and an exit door. Likewise, every input device must always give out information as a result, so is every believer that God is daily loading with benefits for us. So, the returns we are to give to him, is to serve Him.

    JOB 36:11 vs MATTHEW 6:33

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

    Job 36:11
    If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

    Matthew 6:33 can be read CONTEXTUALLY and CONCEPTUALLY. To treat this verse of the Bible Contextually, we are going to read it from verse 30 to 33 and we would see that the verse is saying is ‘ALL THESE‘ not ‘ALL OTHER THINGS’ shall be added to you. So, what are ‘these things’ that the verse is addressing? The basic needs of life; Food, clothing and shelter.

    But addressing that verse of the Bible CONCEPTUALLY can be addressed by saying ‘ALL OTHER THINGS’ and while doing that, we will address it from the standpoint of Job 36:11 which is paraphrased as ” If they obey the call to salvation and afterward serve me, they shall spend their days after NYSC corps in prosperity because I’m going to secure a work for them and their years in pleasure, because the work will be paying them alot and be bringing food to their table”… Isn’t that awesome???

    SEEKING FIRST

    Back to Matthew 6:33, The first thing that should be done is to advance the kingdom through your service. During your service year, you have to seek His kingdom first. Many people love to plan on how to have a good savings to sustain themselves after service but failed to plan on how to serve God, how to spread the gospel in the territory they were sent to, and that’s why God also didn’t get them serviced then after service.

    The first thing which you must do as an intending Corp member is to be thinking of where to serve. In fact, to you, NYSC should not be ‘National Youth Service Corps’ but ‘National Youth Serving Christ’. There are various platforms where you can serve during NYSC and these Include: Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship, Deeper life Corpers Fellowship, Redeemed Christian Corpers Fellowship and many other religious bodies. The most important thing is that you must think of how to spread the gospel through a religious body during your service year.

    You have to serve God first. Elijah told the woman, give me everything you have FIRST, and after doing that, testimonies follow suite. NYSC is a wisdom of God in gaining territories and you must follow God’s plan for your life. The fact that you are alive and enlisted to be part of those that will be mobilized for Service, is an attestation that you are enlisted to be part of the end-time army of God that will cause revival to happen at every territory God is interested at.

    Let me conclude by saying that it is normal and expected to have a feeling of fear while trying to pack out of NYSC assignment, but what I did during my own time will encourage you:

    What I did

    I served as the Evangelism Coordinator (Rugged) of the Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF), Imo state chapter, central phase 2020/2021. So, when we were about to finish and I began to think about the status of joblessness in the country, what I did was to start praising God for He’s able to do exceedingly, and abundantly ABOVE whatever I can ASK….
    I would confess that I will not wait before I get a Job. After various confessions, I would back it up with the fact that I am a servant…. So, the fear will leave me.

    And by the special Grace of God, I stepped into the land (Imo state) on 10th March ,2020 and I resumed work on 10th March, 2021 (immediately after my service year).
    Why??
    Because I didn’t belittle the ability and capacity of God to get me work.

    In the next part of this Series, I shall be teaching us how we can use Faith to create the work of our choice.
