I have learned rather lately (even though I am young) that it is better to be at peace than to be right in two areas:
1) to be at peace with God than to be right with men.
2) to be at peace with your spouse than to be right.
“If Jesus paid for our sins, why are we still judged by our actions?”
Because forgiveness doesn’t mean our actions suddenly stop mattering.
Imagine someone says they trust Jesus, but their life shows no desire to follow Him, obey Him, or even acknowledge Him. At some point, it’s fair to ask whether that faith was ever real.
The Bible teaches that we’re saved by faith, not by our works. But it also teaches that our works reveal what’s in our hearts.
Our actions don’t save us.
They simply tell a story about who we’re following.
The Burden was never designed for three days.
No… that is not the way of a mother. That is not a mother’s journey. She remains until there is maturation and birthing. And anything truly conceived must remain hidden until it has gathered sufficient substance to survive manifestation.
This is why shallow men are always in a hurry. They do not understand that GOD never releases weighty things prematurely. GOD hides what HE values until it has gathered enough stature to survive visibility.
And this is the difference between a reaction and a burden:
A reaction seeks expression. A burden submits to formation.
A reaction is sustained by emotion. A burden is sustained by revelation.
A reaction wants to be seen quickly. A burden is willing to disappear until maturity has fully taken place.
A mother understands this mystery. She does not stand over the womb demanding immediate manifestation simply because conception has occurred. She understands that whatever is authentic must first survive the dealings of hiddenness.
And hiddenness is violent.
Because there are seasons where nothing appears to be happening outwardly, yet everything important is being formed inwardly.
Bones are gathering.
Organs are forming.
Breath is preparing to enter substance.
And this is where weak men become impatient.
They mistake invisibility for absence.
But GOD is not silent during gestation.
HE is building.
And there are burdens from GOD that will not permit a man to return to a casual lifestyle again. Once Eternity places a demand upon the spirit, normal life begins to die slowly.
Comfort becomes an interruption.
Convenience becomes a distraction.
Entertainment becomes noise.
Because the soul has come under summons.
And this is why we are not reacting.
No.
We are responding to a Higher Cry.
A Cry that has interrupted our ordinary lives.
A Cry that did not come from ambition, but from Eternity itself.
A Cry that placed the weight of GOD’s intention upon fragile men and demanded that they carry it until manifestation.
And when a man truly comes under the government of a burden, he stops consulting time.
The concern of the mother is not:
“How long has this lasted?”
The concern is:
“Has maturity fully taken place?”
For every premature manifestation will always be corrupted. Anything brought forth before its appointed stature eventually becomes vulnerable to collapse.
This is why genuine watchmen must remain on the altar long after spectators have departed.
This is why men who have genuinely heard from GOD continue groaning while others have already moved on to lighter things.
Because they understand that until GOD declares it finished, we do not move or shift.
And hear this carefully:
The burden was never given to be admired.
It was given to be labored over.
For what began by the voice of GOD cannot be terminated by the exhaustion of men.
If the Summons initiated it, then only the Summons has the authority to conclude it.
Until then, let us keep the altar burning.

That Rev Gideon’s message at IEC yesterday, play it on repeat a thousand times.
Anytime you want to argue with either a full blown cessationist or a quasi charismatic, listen to the sermon first.
Space Dey.
Let the prophets speak.
Let all prophesy.
The bloodshed in Plateau State on this sacred Palm Sunday is extremely disheartening and a national disgrace.
Innocent lives cut down again, while those responsible walk free. How long will this continue?
I'm honestly VERY PAINED. IT IS WELL
He left Islam for Jesus‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Born and raised in a Muslim family,
he hated Christians and even went as far as stoning them.
He didn’t stop there, he even made a song mocking Christianity and our beliefs.
But God, in His mercy, said:
“My son, you belong to Me. The same mouth you used to mock Me, you will use to testify of Me.”
And just like that, BOOM 💥
Today, he is born again, boldly testifying of Jesus.
Jesus is real. 🙌
Do not mistake familiarity with Scripture for mastery of it. The Word submits to no man’s haste. It yields its depth to those who approach with patience and fear
SPEAKING SOLEMNLY
Anyone living in sexual sins (fornication, adultery, pornography, etc), has no place in Christian ministry. Immorality is a very big deal, scripturally. The believer's BODY is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the BODY. Therefore, what you do with God's dwelling place must be of colossal significance. Don't you see it?
And, because of the sacredness of Christian ministry, while you can legitimately be a struggling Believer for a season, you cannot be a struggling minister, if the struggle is that you have not overcome sexual immorality. In this regard, the category of a struggling minister does not exist, biblically considered.
This is not about being a "wounded soldier." But in any case, if a soldier takes a bullet during combat, we don't hand him over to the enemies, yes. And we also don't leave him in the frontline to continue fighting – with his wound. We take him out and away for treatment. Whether he can even return to active duty later on depends on the severity/impact of the 'wound' sustained and the assessment of the team managing his case. Taking him out of combat is a responsible act of love and not a case of "condemning our own."
Back from the digression. It is alien to the spirit of Christ, to say someone is a minister of the gospel, even though he commits immorality. The practice of immorality cannot coexist with legitimate practice of ministry. A fornicator or an adulterer is not a Minister. Cannot be.
A minister of the gospel MUST be above reproach. People MUST be safe under his care. Money, too, MUST be safe under his care. The bible insists that he sustains a high level of integrity – morally, ethically, socially.
This is why the Charismata, the gifts of the Spirit are never mentioned as qualification or eligibility for ministry. Check the texts.
So, the practice of equating giftedness with eligibility for ministry is unbiblical and should be discouraged. Being a gifted speaker, for instance, does not qualify anyone for Christian ministry. If you know all the Rhema in the book, and all the historic fine points of orthodoxy, but you're an intermittent fornicator/adulterer, you are ineligible for Christian Ministry. You need to be discipled, you should not be discipling anyone, at all.
Read the passage below carefully, to the very last verse, please: It says a Pastor:
"...must be a good man whose life cannot be spoken against. He must have only one wife, and he must be hard working and thoughtful, orderly, and full of good deeds. He must enjoy having guests in his home and must be a good Bible teacher. He must not be a drinker or quarrelsome, but he must be gentle and kind and not be one who loves money. He must have a well-behaved family, with children who obey quickly and quietly. For if a man can’t make his own little family behave, how can he help the whole church? The pastor must not be a new Christian because he might be proud of being chosen so soon, and pride comes before a fall. (Satan’s downfall is an example.) Also, he must be well spoken of by people outside the church—those who aren’t Christians—so that Satan can’t trap him with many accusations and leave him without freedom to lead his flock"
On the last point above, many people who work in Hotels don't take the church seriously because the see the behind-the-scenes lifestyle of Pastors. A minister must have one life, must be not be two-faced. And he must be an example to both insiders and outsiders.
If the church is weak, Satan is only a remote cause. If the church is weak anywhere, the church is the reason why.
And now, may the glorious Lord of the church step into this seeming perpetual desolation, and pour us the blessing that is Revival.

KEY DISTINCTIONS
The groanings of Rom 8:26 are WORDLESS, not SOUNDLESS.
Those groanings are 'done' by the Holy Spirit through the believer in prayer, yes, through both those of us who speak in tongues & those of us who don't.
Groanings are groanings. They're not 'tongues'
Beloved,
There are Seasons when GOD stops dealing with the surface of our lives and begins to deal with the Core of who we are.
This is one of those Seasons.
For a long time, we have said the enemy of Reformation is the flesh, and yes, the flesh is real.
But the LORD is showing us something deeper,
something more dangerous that Reformation is most often undone by Self.
There are Seasons when GOD stops tolerating distance between what we say and what we live.
This is one of those Seasons.
For years, we have blamed the flesh.
We have blamed culture.
We have blamed the enemy.
But the LORD is putting His finger on something closer, something far more dangerous, SELF.
This is why even the best of Ministers fall on this Altar. Not because they hated GOD, but because Self was never brought to the Cross.
When GOD deals with the Heart, it silences you.
It strips you of excuses.
It leaves you face to face with the truth that some things survived in our lives not because GOD approved them, but because we insisted on keeping them.
And in that place, the Prayer changes.
It is no longer, “LORD, use me.”
It becomes, “LORD, save me.”
Save me from myself.
Save me from serving You without submitting to You. Save me from speaking for You while refusing to die to You.
This is the Work of JESUS in this Season.
He is not attacking His Church.
He is reclaiming it.
So Beloved, do not harden your heart if you Hear HIS Voice. Do not run from it. Do not explain it away.
Let the LORD finish His Work.
Because Reformation does not begin with the flesh being restrained it begins with Self being crucified.
And when you hear His Voice this close, harden not your heart.
Just as JESUS cares about your Soul, He has given us the Burden to care for it also.
REPENT…
Today at #WOFBEC2026, something became very clear to me: we urgently need theological conferences. Not merely gatherings centered on application alone, but spaces where serious Bible study is done, and application flows as a faithful secondary fruit.
Conferences where words like Soteriology, Eschatology, and Pneumatology are not treated as distant abstractions, but are given flesh and breath, where doctrine is made intelligible, pastoral, and Spirit-illuminated.
I noticed genuine confusion when terms like eschatology and hermeneutics were mentioned. That observation is not a criticism, but a call. It tells us where the work lies, and I am confident that, by God’s grace, we will grow into these things together.
I commend the organizers for the labour and excellence poured into putting this program together. It was a worthy and timely effort.
AGO remains a special gift of God to me. Thank you, Daddy, for being a consistent blessing, your labour continues to speak, teach, and shape lives.
I have always known that Apostle @gideonodoma ministering in #WOFBEC2026 will make him a permanent feature there. God bless you richly Sir. Your yieldedness has helped a lot of us stand strong in doctrine. God bless you once again Apostle Giddy 🥳
@JohnJames625635@RasineIrem The grace that brings the salvation that you speak of admonishes us to live righteously. You can't separate salvation from Christian living because the proof of your salvation is in your lifestyle. Rom. 12:1-2, James 2 speaks of showing his faith by his works.
