Father Show Me Secrets

We embarked on an inquiry prayer to know the secrets of our lives from God, our Divine Manufacturer throughout the month of February, by praying this single prayer: “O God to whom all secret things belongeth, according to Deuteronomy 29:29 and Jeremiah 33:3, Show me the secrets of my life, show me myself, show me beneficial secrets that would move my life forward and Break every bondage in my life BY FIRE!!!, in the name of Jesus.” Obtaining the template and master-plan from the Master-builder of our destinies brought an avalanche of dreams and they are still coming and demanding for divine interpretations.I just came across this 7-day programme by the MOUNTAIN OF FIRE & MIRACLES MINISTRIES (MFM) International Headquarters, Lagos. You can set 7 days apart at your convenience to seek the face of God for beneficial secrets that would move you forward. [adsense](These prayers are to be done aggressively for seven days between 12am and 1am)General Confessions: Psalm 2:1-12: “Jesus replied, “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”Deuteronomy 29:29:“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”Psalm 5:8:“Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.”Psalm 25:14:“The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.”Daniel 2:2:“Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams.

PASTOR ADEBOYE'S NEW SHRINE

God says: “I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images.” (Isaiah 42:8). Jesus says: “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26). The Open Heavens International Centre at the Redemption Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, celebrated its one year anniversary recently. It was established on 6th July, 2011 at a cost of over 60 million naira. It is the conversion of Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s first residence into a gallery cum library, where devotees of the revered and venerated pastor are afforded the opportunity to travel on the path Adeboye traversed on the way to public glory. According to Sam Eyoboka, the matriarch of the Redeemed church, Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye, had a vision to convert their first house in the camp, where they jointly fought against wild animals, reptiles, and other principalities and powers, into a place where tourists to the camp can practically appreciate Pastor Adeboye’s spiritual voyage. However, it is important to state, for the avoidance of doubt, that Adeboye is not dead yet, he is still very much alive. The centre includes:Life and Times, a pictorial documentary profile of the G.O’s life and times from birth to academia and from the academia to ministry.The Gallery, a long aisle of photo gallery.Mummy’s Room: a recast of Mummy’s Room as it once was (without a bed).Daddy’s Room: a recast of Daddy’s Room the way it was when they first moved in to the camp.Prayer Closet: G.O’s prayer closet where earnest and fervent prayers were uttered and answers received.G.O’s Library: comprising Daddy G.O.’s favourite books; resources and relics; and his authored books.Daddy G.O’s 70th Birthday Room: a montage of childhood, family academic and ministry photographs, including Daddy G.O.’s sporting materials like the boxing gloves.The Souvenir Shop: showing G.O’s published books, bibles, Open Heavens Devotional, and gift items, such as T-shirts, calendars, brochures, memorabilia, mugs, teacups, flasks, ballpoint pens, face caps etc.A major attraction is “The Bed.” This is the marital bed used by Pastor Adeboye and his wife, Folu, when they first moved to the Redemption Camp. It is part of the Open Heavens Gallery.Already testimonies abound from the numerous visitors to the Centre.Pastor Yusuf Olayiwola from Katsina said: “The grace of God on Pastor and Pastor (Mrs.) Ade-boye has been inspirational and challenging. It is a great privilege to be related to such a great icon.”Dr. Remi Sogunro said he laid three requests before the LORD at “Daddy G.O’s Prayer Room.” The first request was granted instantly; the second a few days later; and the third a few weeks later.Rhema Ufuomaoghene Akalamudo, a JSS I student, claims she was healed of a sprained waist after praying in the Prayer Room.

How does reckless driving testify to the lordship of Jesus Christ?

How does reckless driving testify to the lordship of Jesus Christ?Jimmy Peters was on his way back to Lagos from a wedding in Benin City. Suddenly, the road ahead was blocked. Before he could say “Jack Robinson,” some armed men sprang out of the bushes. Instinctively, Jimmy’s wife hid their baby on the floor of the backseat of the car; quickly throwing a cloth over him. The armed robbers were professional and clinical. They rapidly stripped them of their money and valuables. They hit the jackpot when they found thirty-five thousand naira in the boot of the car. But just as they were about to leave, the thing Jimmy’s wife feared happened. The baby cried out; not surprising, since he was practically smothered by the cloth thrown over him. One of the armed robbers stopped in his tracks. “There’s a baby, there’s a baby,” he exclaimed. He removed the cloth for confirmation. There indeed was the baby, cooing away, totally oblivious to the tension in the air. The armed robber was very angry. He turned to the mother; scowling. “You people are very strange,” he said. “Do you think I would hurt a baby?” Then he went further: “I want you to know that I am a Christian, so I would never hurt a little baby like this.” To demonstrate this beyond reasonable doubt, he decided to give the baby twenty naira out of the thirty-five thousand he had stolen from the parents. Sunday-Sunday ChristiansThis story is not fiction. It actually happened; and it serves to underscore the widespread confusion that now exists among those of us who call ourselves Christians. Christians are now a motley group of very strange bedfellows. It would appear that virtually anybody can claim to be a Christian without fear of contradiction. But who exactly is a Christian? Today, Christians are often identified by church affiliation. We are people who go to church on Sundays. We are people who “read their bible and pray every day.” We are people who pay tithes. We have a tendency to quote the scriptures. We like to pepper our speech with “hallelujahs” and “praise the Lord.” But we are also people who fail to show compassion when it is required. We are people who despise Moslems and people of other faiths. We are people with deep hatred for homosexuals. We are people who insist on retributive justice, even to the point of going to war. We are those who go to church on Sundays but also beat our wives on Mondays. We are those who pray down the rain but also use our tongue to lie, deceive, insult, abuse and curse. Of such is not the kingdom of God.Some church-workers came to a high-rise building to ask for “Sister Mary.” But nobody seemed to know her. “What does she look like?” the residents asked. The visitors gave an elaborate description of her, from her favourite hairstyle to her preferred manner of dressing. “That sounds like Mary Ikejiani,” somebody replied. “Is it Mary Ikejiani you are looking for?” “Yes,” replied the visitors. “We have it on good authority she lives in this building.” “Why didn’t you say that in the first place?” the residents chorused. “Instead, you asked for ‘Sister Mary.’ Do you mean to tell us Mary is a Christian?”Mary was a Sunday-Sunday Christian. At church, she was the epitome of holiness and virtue. But at home, she could not continue the lie. Had the people asked after “Quarrelsome Mary,” instead of “Sister Mary,” there would have been no difficulty in identifying her. Christian hypocrisyJesus asked his disciples: “Who do men say that I am?” Let us turn the question around. Who do men say Christians are? Are we known by virtues or by vices? Does the designation, “Christian,” denote someone of sound character who is honest, godly and peace-loving? The truth is it does not.When Jesus sees Nathanael coming down the road, he says about him: "Behold, and Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit." Jesus refers to Nathanael as a real Israelite, thereby differentiating him from Jacob; the man to whom God first gave the name Israel. Jacob, of course, was a liar and a cheat. But Jesus identifies in Nathanael that the real Israelite (or Christian) is a man of proven integrity.If Nathanael is a real Israelite, then there are fake Israelites. If Nathanael is a true christian, then there are fake Christians. Indeed, many professing Christians are much more dishonest and deceitful than the average unbeliever. We seem to forget that people are supposed to be drawn to Christ because of what they see of him in us.A lady asked me to pray for her. When I asked what her petition was, she said she was the Chairperson of the Armed Forces Officers’ Wives at a particular military cantonment. Her colleagues kept a certain amount of money with her for safe-keeping, but it now appeared she had misplaced the money. “What happened to the money?” I asked her. “I tampered with it,” she said. “What does that mean?” She said: “I spent the money. I didn’t know they would want it back so soon.” “So what do you want me to do now?” “I want you to pray that God should have mercy on me,” she replied. But what about the money with which she was entrusted?Disciples of Christ are called to follow his example. Why then do Christians steal, cheat, fight, lie, fornicate and commit adultery? Surely we know that the kingdom of God is only for those who stand in the righteousness of Christ. Foolish faithHave you ever had the experience where a man literally drives you off the road and, as he speeds away, you see the inscription on his windscreen declaring: “Jesus is Lord?” How does reckless driving testify to the lordship of Jesus Christ?Some cars were waiting at a railway intersection because a red light indicated a train was approaching. But one driver felt all the others were daft. He was convinced he could quickly cross over before the train arrived. So rather than wait on the queue with others, he decided to drive across quickly at top speed. Onlookers shouted at him to stop, warning him of the danger in his line of action. But he ignored them, accelerating all the more. At the last minute, he suddenly saw the train. It was much closer than he had anticipated, but it was now too late to slam on the brakes. If he did, he would be crushed for sure. So he had no choice but to continue on his suicidal path.Somehow he managed to get across unscathed. But just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the train hit his back bumper and sent him on a tailspin. His car went through several somersaults but finally ended right side up. Dazed but uninjured, the man opened the door and came out of the car. “Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus,” he cried. But was it Jesus who told him to take such an idiotic risk? Was it Jesus who led him to presume all other drivers were daft but he alone was smart?

A true believer only does things because it is the love thing to do

A true believer only does things because it is the love thing to do.In spite of several subtle nudging from the Lord about her deplorable condition, I refused to give Bolaji Ogundimu a housing loan. My position was that several others applied before her. So the Lord decided to set me up. I needed to catch a plane out of New York. By the time it was my turn, the counter was closed. Then the Lord said to me: “So Femi, how do you expect to get on this plane?” I finally saw the light and plea-bargained: “Only your love, Daddy; only your love can get me on this plane.”On many occasions, Jesus broke the rules out of love. He could not help himself; he had to respond in love. When his mother told him at the wedding in Cana that they had run out of wine, he observed that it was not yet the time for miracles. Jesus was following God’s timing. But suddenly man's needs preceded God's timing. The wedding hosts knew nothing about God’s timing. Had they known, they might have scheduled the wedding for a later date. But the love of God could not but respond to human need. Accordingly, Jesus was often moved by compassion. Some of his most astounding miracles came as a response to human need. He multiplied loaves and fed the multitude because he was moved with compassion for people who had been without food for three days. And so at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus was compelled to turn water into wine. He did this out of season because he was moved by love. Love overrulesThe Greek woman who prayed to Jesus for the healing of her daughter did not understand the times and the seasons. She was not a Daniel. She was not a bible scholar. She was not even a Christian. All she knew was that her daughter was sick. Therefore, she came and asked for the right thing but at the wrong time. She asked for the healing of a Gentile when it was still the time of the Jews. She came to ask the Lord for food when the children of the kingdom had yet to eat. Jesus told her to wait. “Let the children finish eating first.” But love does not wait. Her daughter jumped the queue and was healed.Jesus tried to explain God’s love to hate-filled Jews. He asked them: “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?” (Mark 2:25-26). The love of God says David’s “illegal” act was excusable because he was in need and hungry. God responded to David not legally, but lovingly. The mercy of God rejoiced over the judgment of God in David’s case. But do we react the same way today as Christians?Ambulances drive “illegally” on the wrong side of the road because they respond to emergencies. If we insist that they keep to road safety rules, it can only be because the love of God is not in us. Similarly, if we insist that people must wear certain types of clothing before they can come to church, then the love of God is not in us. If keeping rules and regulations is more important to us than loving our neighbour, it is because we do not yet understand the love of God. Acceptable motiveLoving our neighbour is more important than doing our duty. The widow of Zarephath gave her last meal to the prophet and God blessed her. Rahab lied to preserve the lives of the Hebrew spies in Jericho and God honoured her. These examples showed love in action. But it is significant that these expressions of love did not come from Jews. They came from those outside of the church. They came from those who were not bound by religion. They came from those who did not know the right thing to do but who understood the love thing to do.Is it legal to drive on the wrong side of the road? Why do you drive on the right side of the road? Do you pay tithes because it is the right thing to do? Do you give offerings because it is the right thing to do? A true believer does not do things merely because it is right or legal. A true believer does things because it is the love thing to do. The only valid reason acceptable in God for doing anything is the love of God. Jesus says: "If you love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15). In which case the only reason why he wants us to keep his commandments is because we love him. And the only commandment Jesus has given us is that we love God and love our neighbour as he loves us. So we must not allow any bad shepherd (or pastor) to intimidate us into paying tithes by telling us we would be cursed if we do not do so. We are not to do things because we are afraid of curses, or fear the windows of heaven will be shut against us. All our actions must arise from the love of God and the love of our neighbours. Loving kingdomThe Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him: "Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife?" The question itself is based on wrong premises. God is not legalistic. The kingdom of God is not a legalistic kingdom. It is a loving kingdom. Who cares whether it is legal or not! If it is legal for people to kill Jews, should we do so because it is the legal thing to do?The question should have been: "Is it loving for a man to divorce his wife?" "Does the divorce of one's wife show the love of God?" Couched in this manner, the question would have been unnecessary. Clearly, divorce does not show love but hate. God hates adultery not because it is illegal, but because it is about hatred. Adultery represents hatred and disregard for one’s spouse.Let me tell you a parable. When Nabal married Abigail, he gave her a list of do’s and don’ts. It was so extensive, it was impossible to fulfil. No matter how hard she tried, he would always find fault that she forgot to do something, or forgot to say something, or did something in a way different from the exact way he wanted it done. He wanted his rice cooked in a particular way. His meat had to be boiled in a particular way. His shirt must be ironed in one way or you won’t hear the last of it. Thank God, Nabal died prematurely. Thereafter, Abigail became David’s wife. After the marriage, she dutifully asked David for his own list of do’s and don’ts. But David said he had none. “I just love you,” he said. “There are no laws, no rules, no regulations, and no guidelines. Just love.” Of such is the kingdom of God.
