When your “little” meets the hands of the God of All Flesh,
it becomes more than enough.
He did it with 5 loaves and 2 fishes;
He will do even greater in your life.
Nothing is too hard for Him!
Bring what you have. Bring who you are to the RCCG Holy Ghost Congress.
ONE HUNDRED DAYS!
It’s time to congratulate every member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God on the successful completion of the 100 days of fasting and prayers. God has given us the strength and grace to start and to finish. Praise the Lord!
We pray that this period will usher in a new era of intimacy with God and it will come in with significant miracles, open doors, healings and many blessings in Jesus name.
Congratulations!
Dearly beloved, it will add up and make sense very soon. The long nights, the tears, The long wait, The pain, The days you prayed, trusted God, stood in Faith, but seemed wasted. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, it shall happen. And you, my friend, shall behold and see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Hallelujah ! God is Faithful.
”When he had proved himself faithful, you made a covenant with him to give him and his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. And you have done what you promised, for you are always true to your word.“
Nehemiah 9:8 NLT
A family counselor of 50yrs told me:
A strange thing happens when a child sees their father loving their mother- they feel like their father is loving them.
Same thing when their mother shows affection to their father.
IHO, it's the only time a human can be loved indirectly.
Hello @FaridaAshu
You’ve been tweeting at us all day and we’ve chosen not to respond. But to this we will.
You say you’re sure one day we will become a Muslim because we have knowledge for the truth.
Don’t you see that Islam doesn’t offer salvation? The problem of humanity is sin. It is that we have been cut off from the life of God and we are deserving only death and wrath.
Look at the verdict God placed on the world:
Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Do you see the problem of humanity? We fell short. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, you’re by nature of birth under God’s judgment.
Why? Because Adam sinned. And we came from Adam, therefore, we sinned:
Romans 5:12
“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—”
Farida, do you see the problem of humanity? It is not external. It came by birth. So, if the problem is sin that came by birth, it can only go away through death.
This is why Jesus died as our atoning sacrifice. Now, He died in our place. He took our judgement away. This is called Penal Substitution.
Like Abraham killed that ram instead of Isaac, Jesus offered Himself in judgement instead of us for sins to save us.
That sin we got from Adam was judged in Christ. Glory to God! Our debts has been paid!
But Jesus didn’t just die for our sins. He rose up! So, we died to sin in Christ and rose up a new in the Spirit being in Him.
This is why we say we are born again. That is how sin has been dealt with in Christianity.
This is the inability of Islam. There’s nothing in Islam that deals with the problem of sin.
This was why Muslims in the North shouted Allahu Akbar as the stoned and torched Deborah to death.
This was why a Muslim old man recently married a child, had sex with her, and the girl bled to death.
This was why the imam of the national mosque came out and said he supports death for blasphemy when Deborah was killed by Muslims.
This was why a Muslim guy tossed a Muslim girl from a storey building in Egypt killing her because a male friend was in her room.
This was why Samuel Paty, school teacher, was beheaded by a group of Muslims in France because he did a cartoon of Muhammad, which turned out he didn’t do.
This was why the leader of Hisbah morality police years ago was caught in adultery in a hotel.
This is why Muslims temporarily pause their vices during Ramadan only to resume it once fasting is over.
This is why recently in Plateau Muslim mobs shouted, “Kill the infidel!” While clubbing a Christian to death.
We can go on and on. But the truth remains, Islam hasn’t dealt with the problem of sin-our rebellious alienation from the life of God inherited from Adam.
But Jesus offers that. Allah doesn’t. Did you know that Muhammad even begged Allah to ask for forgiveness for his mum but Allah denied him.
Sahih Muslim’s Hadith confirms.
There’s no forgiveness in Islam. Paradise promise in Islam is dependent on good works.
O what a wretched fate that is!
For by strength shall no man prevail, the Bible said. We cannot, sinful humans, please a holy God.
So, Jesus became our Mediator. That by His own good works of righteousness we attain righteous standing with God.
Glory, we are saved by grace (unmerited favor) through faith(the believe in Christ).
Finally, Farida, we replied to you to tell you the truths of these two religions.
Islam cannot save. You can recite the shahadah, give alms to the poor, go to Mecca, fast Ramadan and pray 5x daily.
All these are external. The sin from Adam is still there. How do you break away from what you were born with? By death and resurrection. That is in Christ.
This is why Islam fights tooth and nail to deny Jesus was crucified.
How do you believe He is virgin-born but draw the line at being crucified?
Because Islam is against the salvation of your soul. But Jesus loves you.
Finally, we can’t be Muslim because the Bible predicted Islam and judged it;
1 John 4:3
“And every spirit that does NOT CONFESS JESUS is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.”
Islam is that spirit and Muhammad is its mouthpiece.
We are sold to Jesus for life, and till His return we live for Him.
For to live is Christ and to die is gain. You can come to Jesus today. He loves you and died for you.
Amen.
PS: we may not reply to any response you make. Goodnight.
A KISS OF FIRE
“And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” - (Exodus 19:18)
READ: Exodus 3:2-6
The lips are a very sensitive part of the human body. In Isaiah 6:6-7, when the angel wanted to help Isaiah, he put a coal of fire on his lips. Even though that must have been very painful considering how sensitive the lips are, the experience ensured that Isaiah became a changed person.
Nothing touches fire and remains the same. In Acts 2:1-14, Peter stood boldly to address and preach to a large crowd of people after the Holy Ghost had descended on the Upper Room congregation like cloven tongues of fire. This was the same Peter that denied Jesus three times out of fear. From the day a believer gets a kiss of fire, everything about him or her changes completely; the impact of the fire will abide with him or her forever.
When you see someone who is always ready to do the will of Christ and go all out for Him, that fellow has been kissed by fire. This is why after Isaiah received that kiss of fire, all he could hear was God saying, “Whom shall we send, who will go for us?” and his response was, “Lord, send me” (Isaiah 6:1-8). When you are kissed by fire, you will begin to hear the heartbeat of God concerning the nations of the world, and your response will be, “Lord, send me anywhere to do your work, and I will go.”
Paul did God’s work with great zeal. That zeal came upon him in Acts 9:3-6 when Jesus appeared to him in a great light on his way to Damascus. That light was not from an electric bulb; it was from the fire of God, and the moment Paul’s body touched it, he was kissed by fire and was changed forever. From that moment, he went to every length to do the will of God.
The reason many Christians find it difficult to do great exploits for God is that they have not been kissed by fire. Some of them want to serve God in greater capacities, but they lack the required zeal because they have not been kissed by fire. If you are a pastor, and you want to have an army that is willing to join you in doing great exploits for the kingdom, pray for them to be kissed by fire. The moment they are kissed by fire, the zeal of the Lord will take over their hearts and all they will long for is to do His will at all times.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please give me a kiss of fire today, in Jesus' name.
