Yesterday we laid the foundation on this topic and I believe that in the simplicity of the message, we were helped by the Holy Spirit. The two things that deal with fear are peace and love. The Peace that surpasses all understanding and The Love of God. This means when we fear we are lacking in “understanding” of the two things. Some people live in so much fear they can’t even switch off the lights when they go to bed. Some can’t sleep because they fear what may come upon them in their dreams . Some fear almost everything so put them in church they’d still be afraid. Nothing makes a difference. A fearful people who fear what fears them – the enemy.

“I repeat, be strong and brave! Do not yield to fear nor be discouraged, for I am Yahweh your God, and I will be with you wherever you go!””
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Yielded family, what is to yield? If I katch you giving the wrong answer I will bite you and your phone. The Word of God says do not YIELD to fear. We have a choice! When we fear – we choose to yield , to surrender to, to submit to , to give away to the pressure of fear. How do we choose? By refusing to study the word of God. If you fear that the devil will kill you , it’s not evidence of “I am a dreamer” it’s e evidence of an ignorant Christian who does not study the word because only then will you be able to tell truth from lies. Let me also say this, not all your dreams are from God . Some dreams are sent by the enemy to cause you to fear and the number of people who have fallen for it is ALARMING!

The spirits you fear are subject to you! You need to have an understanding of WHO YOU ARE. You are a child of God. I am not a mother yet but I can imagine someone abusing my child in my presence, eh I would kick that person that day 🤣 if you who is of flesh can do that for your child then what of GOD! Do you know how many battles He fights for you daily? The arrows that fly by day? Have they struck you? I love it when David says the sun shall not harm you by day nor the moon by night! Kai! It means other get harmed during the day and night but as for YOU! You can’t be afraid of a witch because God is not afraid of the Devil.

“You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as make a man’s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin]!”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Now the bible says that same God lives in you.! The God whose presence makes demons tremble! The renewal of your mind is very important! For many people it’s the thoughts that drive you crazy. Read that verse again slowly. Try reading it in other versions. The Christ in you ; is a terror to the enemy ; so you are a terror to the enemy! How do you explain a King , with a whole army, whose word is law , has many subjects and slaves, who fears a newborn baby! Make it make sense! A whole Cyril afraid of a child that’s not even a month old and is still in Baragwanath hospital? It means even at 16 , at 9, at 27, at 20, once you have a revelation of your identity in Christ, you are a terror to the enemy no matter how old he is or the size of his demonic army! When they killed babies under 2 in Egypt , the enemy was being threatened! The devil shivers when he meets a believer who has an identity but he tossed and turns the believer who has an identity crisis.

King Herod didn’t fear just any child. It was the identity of the child that messed him up! Not the name!!!! He didn’t know the name! Ah! He doesn’t care that your name is Vanessa or Grace !! It is the positioning, the revelation of ordinance, the future, the priesthood that gives him diarrhoea. Not Vanessa but V of the Most High God!!! The child is not just Mary’s boy child, He is the Christ! The Messiah! You’re not just a girl, you’re a Jesus Girl!

“and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We saw his star! You don’t know the star you have that is making hell nervous. You have no idea the power in you! If in the presence of God there’s thunder and lightning, that means when you step into a place!!! Asher! Your star disturbs hell but until you catch the drift of your identity, you’ll have the star and still be the slave. You’ll be called the army of God like Israel but be threatened by one giant for days on end !! FEAR OF THE ENEMY made a whole army run from one man! A whole family! You’ll have an identity in Christ but never more than a conqueror! Arise! Rebuke that fear! Charge up in the spirit! Build your self up like David in the wilderness ! There is a giant in you! This is not about age or cuteness or even church title! This is about the manifestation of Sons of God who meet the enemy at the battle they already won ! Shoulders up, chin up, boldness, worded up, prayed up, show up and bruise the head of the serpent!

Please take some time and meditate on Psalm 91. Don’t say “ l know it” if you’re still afraid you don’t know it. Knowing how to recite it and understanding it are two different things. Too much familiarity with scriptures is killing believers. Read it again and again. We’re not in knowledge competition, we are to understand so we can grow! I Use different versions to study until you understand!

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭37‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Hey beautiful family. My apologies for posting late today. I want to start off by wishing the daddies a Happy Belated Father’s Day. You’re amazing ! You’re honoured. You’re celebrated. I lost my Dad years ago but by God’s grace the gap was filled by honourable Fathers that God gave me. The world is harsh to the fatherless. This is why God has always addressed the orphans in the Bible. Please care for your children ; it’s beyond “money” . The relationship; the investment of time; the small things matter too ( Do give them money if you can lol) Dear Fathers; society will crash and burn without you. You are pillars. We love you!

As we continue on our topic of Overcoming Fear; this week we are looking at The Fear Of The Enemy. The Bible acknowledges that there are spirits forces of evil that oppose and fight the believers in Christ but it also teaches that we can overcome them through the power of God. Every one who is of age to understand , Christian or not, is aware of demonic spirits and their various activities. In African society people fear witchcraft the most. As a matter of fact; in every family, there has been a witch of two in the lineage. It can be quite scary for those who have not yet grown in the things of God to discover such truths. Evil is real. The devil is real. Demons are real. Witches and wizards are real. AND SO IS GOD!

In the accounts of the synoptic gospels; Jesus delivered many people from demonic oppression. The most famous being the mad man in the country of the Gerasenes who lived in the cemetery and had become so violent to himself and others. We are then able to understand that even violence is from demonic oppression but that’s not our topic today. I want us to understand that the devil is very active in every country. This side or the other side. Even if you run to UK or Kenya or wherever, he has his minions planted there to execute evil. We are not to be ignorant of this. Many people run from learning these things because of fear. “If l discover I will fear more,” no my darling. The truth sets us free even from the spirit of fear. So learn about it. All your 5 years a believer – you need to be groomed for warfare.

I have had encounters with demonic spirits both spiritually and physically. I dare not lie to you that the enemy cannot intensify at battle. I dare not mislead you to live in a bubble of fantasy that he will not pursue the believer. The devil has a purpose just like you and l . This is his purpose and what wakes him up in the morning;

“A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy.
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬a ‭TPT‬‬

Satan has no business befriending you. He is not seeking for your affection just your attention. He has no care about your pool tears or your weariness. “I will kill myself” he doesn’t care. In fact you make the job easy for him. Without you he has one less problem to deal with. He has only one thing in mind. Unlike the believer, Satan is very serious about his purpose. He is very intentional about his mission. He is driven by his desire to steal , kill and destroy while we are driven by almost everything. An unfocused man cannot fight the devil. Your mind is already unstable. That’s the first fight the devil wins over you. The thief will come ; oh he surely will; but God says you have already overcome. How?

“You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world. So who are the world conquerors, defeating its power? Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Other versions say Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world! Are you born again? Then you have overcome the world. Once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour you become more powerful than David with his sling and stone. More powerful than Goliath. More powerful than witches. If these truths are hard to believe – it is your faith that is glitching. The signal is not connecting well. You need to believe this otherwise you will keep handing over your sword to the devil. What you’re afraid of is afraid of you. Dear David; Saul is afraid of you.

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Let’s continue tomorrow on how to win battles against the devil. May the Lord deliver you from the fear of the devil. Imagine a policeman who is afraid of one thief from somewhere who doesn’t even have a gun. That’s you being afraid of the devil. Now imagine Herod being afraid of baby Jesus – that’s how much the devil fears you. Read this article again until you understand. I love you.

GOOD NEWS!!! Before I share it with you guys , I wanna give you the background of yielded. In December l was so frustrated by the fact that l had four books written and ready to be published and had no funds to do it. The calculations of how much one book would cost me messed me up – yes (oh Vanessa of little faith). I had spent nights upon nights writing my books both for Christian children and the matured believer. Man I gave it my all, diligently studying the Word – so you can imagine how frustrated I was having done all that to end up before the Red Sea, no way back and seemingly no way forward. Like Israel l began to cry. And Instead waking up to a million – l woke up to yielded.

I was busy googling platforms to use my talent because what l was determined to not allow my setback to cause me to bury the talent on the ground. You guys read this blog daily – I’m not one of the best writers (YET) but I love writing. I didn’t want stop stirring up the gift and be called an unfaithful servant by the Master. God then ushered me here. I now understand the setback. My vision was only “books” Gods vision was “blogs, books, tv, etcetera”. If I had gotten that money in December I’d have never started a blog. I’d have sat on that forever. The redirection to start yielded was not God saying l will never publish my books, No! That was God saying there’s more platforms – as l commit to stirring up the gift – l will not only stop books but to international platforms. Yielded blog has readers from across the world and tbh I really don’t know many of the people. God called them. He uses those who keep reposting the link to say “Come and read!”. I check my readers statistics and I’m like “Who do l know in such and such a country?” How come they’re here? God has shown me His faithfulness through you. This journey has been life changing for me as it may be for you. I am learning to trust God with the vision He gave me and that has brought me unexpected and unexplainable results and opportunities.

Now the GOOD news is God has given us another vision. Well, two! If you scroll down you’ll notice that there’s free prayer and counselling slots from Yielded Counselling Center. Soon we will have a properly set up website ( please pray for that) that way all our features will be available and accessible from here as opposed to waiting for me to post what’s happening. Our new baby is the Yielded TV!! If you’ve known me for a long time you’ll know that back then I used to write fictional novels. Had lots of readers online and so now I’m using that gift to create Christian movies. All this is coming from one instruction to start a blog. Our Instagram page is https://www.instagram.com/yieldedtv?igsh=MWZ3bHJod2N5b3V3bw== click to follow and let’s get ready for what God is gonna do! I’d love to hear your reviews on what we post there. Very soon we will have our Yielded T-shirts that you’ll be able to purchase via this website.

You see? Just that one song that God says release can open many doors of opportunity. I believe that this year my books will be released. The Lord just had me take another route which was for my good. I did not even need money for all that I’m doing now. I couldn’t have guessed when I was crying to God saying “I’ve laboured to write, why don’t l have the funds to do this” – that one day I’d understand the plan of God. There’s more! One more thing : commit to the vision God gives you. One leg in and one leg out people cannot grow and they don’t have the capacity to grow a vision. Be a full participant of your vision. I read yielded blogs. I also consistently join MPG prayer calls. I fully participate because those who follow or believe in your vision must first see you commit to it.Christ is committed to the church – we have a template. The double mindedness you have about your vision is why you haven’t started building and you see slow progress. Get your whole being into the vision and let’s move!

I’m super excited because I found some power packed worship session by Minister Abbey Ojomu. As promised on the MPG live yesterday I also have powerful praise session for you. Here are the links below; please do praise God with me! (You’re gonna have to be reading the meaning of the Nigerian lyrics on the praise song but it’s PHAWAFOO)
