UNDER YOUR FEET
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” - (Ephesians 2:6)
READ: Mark 16:16-18, Ephesians 1:18-23
There was a man in my village called Kaka, who was the leader of the occultists. It was generally believed that he single-handedly protected the town from all forms of evil, and he was feared by all. When we wanted to open the RCCG parish in my village, the place we found suitable for a rally was close to Kaka’s house. Surprisingly, when an altar call was made during the rally, Kaka came out of his house to give his life to Christ - he had been listening to the worship session and sermon. Later that night, he came to my Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, and said, “The way you spoke about your God, He must be really powerful.” Papa said, “Very, very powerful.” Kaka said, “In that case, now that I have given my life to Jesus, I would need help with an idol in my house called shigidi. It is an effigy that has been in my family for generations and that we send out at night when we want to kill someone. It is so dangerous that we must not sleep until it returns, and we must kill a ram to welcome it. Upon its return, it will step on the ram’s blood and drink it. Thereafter, it will return to its position and become just like an ordinary effigy. I am afraid of the trouble that might follow if I throw shigidi away.”
Papa decided to send me over to remove the effigy. I went to Kaka’s house with the pastor of our parish in Ilesha and a church worker that I thought to be a strong prayer warrior. When Kaka saw me, he felt sorry for me, “Ahhh, Adeboye’s son, you are the one they sent?” When my colleagues saw shigidi, they ran out of the house, leaving me alone with the effigy. It was smeared with blood and adorned with all manner of charms. I said a prayer, broke the effigy into pieces, removed the shrine in front of the house, and threw everything into a river. After three weeks, I returned to my village and visited Kaka at home. When he saw me, he shouted, “You are still alive?!” That was 1975. I am still alive almost five decades after.
Beloved, the devil and his demons are under the feet of even the smallest child of God. You are a part of the body of Christ, and Ephesians 1:21 says that Christ is seated far above all principality and powers.
KEY POINT:
Never ever be afraid of demons that you can trample under your feet.

@dayor84@Row_Haastrup Your error of Judgment about who Jesus (God and second head in trinity) is, is as obvious as your typographical error, and correct both now before it's too late.
John 14 vs 6
@deen1041@Row_Haastrup You are not asking the right question. The right question is "are you prepared to meet Him? Will He find you faithful?" He will come whether we like it or yes, "when" of His coming is not the issue cause He's sovereign. Our readiness is most important
The world's (second) oldest Christian country is not in the Middle East or Europe — it's Ethiopia.
There are centuries-old churches there that most people don't know about.
These were not "built", but carved directly into the rock… (thread) 🧵
THE LAW OF HARVEST 1
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” - (Genesis 8:22)
READ: Luke 6:37-38
The law of harvest is one of the strongest laws that God placed on earth. It is so powerful that God Himself will never break it. In Mark 14:36, Jesus Christ prayed fervently, sweating blood and praying that God should change the plan of salvation so that He wouldn’t have to go to the cross to die for mankind. God said ‘No!’ He said ‘no’ because of the law of harvest; He had to sow His only Son in order to reap many more children into His kingdom (Romans 8:29, Hebrews 2:10, (1 Corinthians 15:20)).
The law of harvest states that whatever a man sows, he will reap. This is well captured in Galatians 6:7:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Another beautiful thing about the law of harvest is that you will reap what you sow in greater proportions (Hosea 8:7). Therefore, whenever you give an offering or give alms, you are sowing a seed, and whatever you have given will come back to you in multiple folds. This is a law that nothing can break.
The law of harvest becomes much stronger when operated in two ways. The first is the law of firstfruit, while the second is the law of tithes. These two laws open the possibility of overflowing blessings. There are only two places in the Bible where God says that if you do something, He will bless you so much that there won’t be enough room to take it (Proverbs 3:9-10 and Malachi 3:10). These two passages show us clearly the secret of overflowing blessings.
Many times, when people pray for overflowing blessings, God expects them to obey the laws of firstfruits and tithes so that they can receive the blessings they seek. Believers will stop struggling with their finances when they obey the divine law of harvest in their work, business, and in giving.
The Almighty God Himself put the law of harvest in place and expects us to obey it. For example, when I was first told about tithing, it didn’t make sense to me mathematically, but I obeyed. I wondered back then, if one hundred per cent was not enough to take care of my needs, how can ninety per cent be sufficient after taking out ten per cent as tithe? Thank God I decided to test the law of tithing, and, to my surprise, I discovered that it was true.
KEY POINT:
You will reap what you sow in greater proportions.
The Copa America started in the early hours of this morning as Lionel Messi’s Argentina took on Canada and it started with the word of God and prayers.
A crowd of over 70,000 fans shouted “AMEN” at the end of the prayers!!!!!!!
@KimLewi01525798@zakisolja@dom_lucre You see my dear, the Ten Commandments (the law) is to bring the consciousness of sin as where there is no law there's no sin! But a greater way of life is the Truth and commandment of Jesus Christ, in Christ Jesus there's no slave, embrace the Love of Christ today
