”When he returned again to his disciples, he awoke them, saying, “Are you still sleeping? Don’t you know the hour has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to the authority of sinful men? Get up and let’s go, for the betrayer has arrived.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭45‬-‭46‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Hey family. I’m sending  you my love on this Good Friday. ❤️

I just came from a power packed service. I really really thank God for Apostle Felix Okoh. One of the things I always give thanks for is that surely there are true men and women of God left in this wicked world. The times may be evil but good and godly people still exist. In the Name of Jesus May all those who preach and preserve the truth of this gospel of Life live long. It’s a prayer we must be very serious about . We need more truth on the pulpit. The world has become a place where many ministers look for trending topics forgetting that the true word of God is about Spirit and life. I can’t get over today’s service , I’m just filled!! Let’s get into todays topic – Reflecting on the cross.

First of all, I want you to know that God loves you. It’s something we say “we know” but not necessarily something we “believe”. One thing I’ve learned about love is that love cannot be muted. I mean, love is a loud feeling. It wants to express itself. It wants to act. It wants to DO. It is not the kind of feeling that just sits still in you and is okay with not showing up for those we love. I question love that is on mute. I really do. How do you love and you fold hands? Not evangelising? Not serving? Not giving? Not taking care of others? Loving only your two friends? Which love do you have and who taught it to you? What manner of love is that? The print of true love is JOHN 3:16 , it says God loved everyone in this whole world that He couldn’t just sit and watch us die, He gave! I question love that does not GIVE. You never give anything all you do is take? You’ve taken from your friends and people more than you’ve ever given? That’s not love. That’s lust. That’s selfishness. God loved so much that He gave not just a Son but His Only ! I question love that waits for abundance to give!! Give where you are, what you have. Those who truly love you, receive it with gladness . If my mom gives me a lollipop and that’s all she has, it means the world to me why? Because love is not in the abundance of the gifts, it’s the heart of the giver that’s important. One JESUS , salvation of many. Don’t be fooled to think God needed 10 sons to save us. One was enough and still is. I’m saying to you, love doesn’t need to count many to give.
Selfish people will never give their last or their only.

I’m teaching you about LOVE! Love has one skirt and sees a lady with a torn skirt, what does love do? It gives even the only. Why? Because love puts itself in someone else’s shoes. I question love that doesn’t care about how other people feel! We cannot follow Him if we still do things however we want! The world teaches us to withhold, my darling, love does not care if it’s the last money, LOVE GIVES. Many people argue that there’s an extent to which you can love someone, I argue back. My argument is there’s nothing like that. Love is extreme. Love cannot be toned down. If there was an extent to which someone can be loved, a limit maybe, surely God would’ve stopped when Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane, in agony, in grief, God would’ve stopped it right there! Saying “My Son , you’ve loved them enough to feed them, heal them and teach them. That’s enough. Drop out!” But no! It was love that made Him stick to Gods plan till the end.

He said to the disciples, “The betrayer is here!” . All along as He prayed, He knew the footsteps of death were getting closer. He could hear in the spirit, 5km away , 3km away , Judas is a km away. Would you have stayed in prayer ? Would you have gone through with the plan? Knowing the time of death is tomorrow, how would you feel? Love. The Love of God. I dunno about you but I’ve had enough of the gospel that teaches people that “hate is okay , you can’t love everyone!” That’s a demonic thing! Love people! Love people! Love people! You can be a person who extends God’s love to people. When they see you they know, there comes someone who loves us not there comes the betrayer! Do you know how many people need that? We will continue with this topic I just wanted to show up here and remind you

THE TEMPLATE OF LOVE IS CHRIST-LIKE. You are loved. I dunno who said what to you, but you are loved. I’m not talking the on and off love, I’m talking real love! Love that has evidence! Love that has been proven! Can you see? That we are a very special people. Can you understand now? You were never hated by God. Never.
See you on Monday. I love you. ❤️

One of my fav yielded days is Chilled Thursday. Today l came with a double dose (don’t use this as an excuse to not read your Bible today!) Yielded cinema is coming through 🤣 Get your popcorn 🍿 I love you guys! ❤️

I love the Lord. I remember growing up in a big family and most of my intimate moments with Holy Spirit were on the bathroom floor. I’d kneel there and confess my love for my Abba. I can’t imagine my life without God. I’d die , literally. Spiritual and physical death. He is my everything. He is my heart , my heartbeat , my all in all. This is the same Lord whose robes were torn for me. Imagine that! Public shame! If someone was to come to me and tear my dress in public, eh 🤣🤣. The Holy Spirit would have to push me out of that place by all means Incase the old man tries to come alive. But the bible records that HE DID NOT FIGHT BACK. How is it possible that a man is humiliated like that and keeps quiet? John answers this question;

”Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.“
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The urge to want to type in venec😂. The apostle says “Listen you need to behold this! There’s a type of love that we have been given that has moved us from not being a people, not having identity, from being orphans to being sons! Not sons of the President or a celebrity, no! Far better! SONS OF GOD!!!” He says but what manner of love is this? This suggests that even he had never seen or heard of such a thing! Behold it! It’s a different kind of love! How did God show us this love?

”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The first line has me in my feelings! For GOD , this love did not come from neighbours, or a boyfriend, the source has always been GOD! He loved! He loves! And this is the manner in which He loved, He gave His only Son, The best of heaven, He gave the One that He loves to save the ones that He loves. He GAVE! He didn’t withhold , He didn’t shorten His saving arm ! He loved us at our darkest. My darkest was my past. I have not always been like this but even in that 😭 even in that mess, even in that drunkenness, even THERE! He loved. Today I don’t have to really say much, you know how much He has loved you! Is He then not worthy of our praises? Is this how we say thank you? By folding hands, showing up with attitude in His presence? With weak opinions derived from the doctrines of the world? Is this how we say thank you? We need to really catch this, worship is not a programme , it is your decision to ascribe to the Lord, the glory due to His name.

Here are today’s songs;

”Let me emphasize this: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life.“

The Holy Bible

I greet you all in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. My apologies for the late post.Last week we looked at the topic of lust – materially, this week I want us to focus on the one that you’ve been waiting for 😂 – sexual lust.
Take a look at what I found as I was studying for this week. This is from Psychologists ;

Anti-porn women and the sex addiction industry are mistaken. Self-sexing is normal, natural, healthy, stress-relieving, and great fun. It’s the foundation of satisfying partner lovemaking. Sex therapists recommend it as part of treatment programs for premature ejaculation, arousal difficulties, trouble working up to orgasm, and recovery from childhood sexual abuse. If you have trouble enjoying sex with yourself, it’s very difficult to enjoy it with anyone else.

I bet the last line made you go “eh” if you’re a serious Christian. That whole statement is a lie from the pit of hell! I mean this is what the world is all about, gratifying SELF, feeding the flesh! If you’re expecting to live a spiritually balanced life while feeding on such information from the world, you are mistaken. All these things they’re addressing above are driven by the spirit of lust. On Friday I said, the mind feeds on information, that information can come in visual images or words. Thoughts on the other hand, wait for the mind to capture a moment. You usually think about what your mind has conceived. This simply means, to have dominion over the thoughts you must first have dominion over your mind.

Apostle Paul in his many letters addresses the subject of lust. I encourage you to further study this topic. Solomon teaches us to be careful how we think, because the quality of our thoughts will always determine the quality of our life. Whatever our minds focus on is what will play out in our lives and eventually shape who we are. Our thoughts turn into feelings that have the power to control our lives, gradually steering us and possibly our faith, in a direction we do not want to go. King Solomon knew this to be true, and counsels us to be careful about what we think and feel. He knew it’s often our thoughts, not our circumstances, which cause us to sink.

Our thoughts have power and can easily begin to run our lives, controlling our words and actions, feelings and emotions — even our peace and happiness. You masturbate first in your mind and then your body follows. The first point of lust is the thoughts and it then slows devours you, just when you think you’re breaking free, there you are , thinking about it again. There you are, falling again. Scripture says Yield! Yield to the power of the Spirit and will abandon the thoughts! The thoughts are there because you yield to pornography not the Word. You yield to silly pictures of people on Instagram .. your thoughts are your own enemy. It’s you against you!

When I intentionally changed my thoughts, my life changed as well. And so can yours.
Now that we have laid the foundation, let’s get practical tomorrow. ❤️
