Are You Serving The True God or Mammon?

Jun 062020
 

Jesus said in Mathews 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else has e will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:24‬ ‭
You cannot serve God and Mammon(money).

Jesus statement above shows that money or Mammon is a powerful god.
Money is competing with God for worship. The Bible says, “the Love of money is the root of all evils”. No wonder Apostles John warned us, not to love the world and it’s glamorous things.
He said,
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭2:15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Majority of Pentecostal Churches are adopting prosperity doctrine and they are using every known blessings from the Hebrew Scriptures to support their teachings.

The question is, how do one differentiate between the worship of the true God from the worship of the Mammon?

When Satan demanded worship from Jesus in an exchange for the glory of this world; Jesus rejected the glory of this world for the worship of the true God.
Mathew 4:8-10

If any religion glorify the material things above spiritual things, and they elevate money more than God’s Kingdom’s moral characters, they maybe worshipping Mammon.

Apostles Paul wrote,
“For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭16:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Apostles Paul letters to the Romans is instructive. He said the preachers of Mammon will use flattering speeches, smooth words, and deceive the simples or the fools.
Apostles Peter exposed their motives, when He says,
“By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. II Peter‬ ‭2:3

No wonder Africans are becoming poorer by the day, because the people adopted prosperity doctrines. Instead of the having prosperity, the people are getting poorer.

But why are people going to the Church where they will be flattered and exploited?

This is one of the signs of the end time. People cannot tolerate the healthy teaching but rather they will choose teachers who will teach them falsehood with flattering words.
2 Timothy 4:3-4

The advice of Apostles Paul was,
“But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭4:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Therefore, my readers be watchful and keep awake to false teachings and flattering prayers.

The fact is, the richest man in the world and the richest man in Africa are not religious.

The truth is, if one is upright and work diligently, you shall become rich wether you a religious person or not.

The Solution:
* Pray for the Religious leaders to stop preaching Mammon.
* Pray To Teach people about God’s kingdom.
* Pray To emphasize the characters of God’s kingdom citizens. The Bible says it is righteousness that exalt a nation and her people. It is not religion or oil or other natural resources.

You shall not be caught napping Spiritually in the mighty name of Jesus.

Understanding The Structure of Answered Prayers.

May 232020
 

Prayers

Understanding The Prayers That God Answered.

Millions of prayers are said on a daily basis by believers. However not all prayers were answered. Jesus disciples had to asked Him, Master Teach us how to pray. That means Prayer requires training. This is because God has a standard or structure for answering prayers. Some people call it the keys to answer prayers.

Today I will discuss some of the criteria for your prayers to be answered.

1. Faith and confidence in God’s ability to resolve your issues. Genesis 15:6 , Psalm 91:15, Hebrew 11:3,6 , Hebrew 4:16
2. Be submissive and humble yourself. You need God for everything, God can do without you. You can’t be blackmailing God and you expect Him to Answer you. Therefore, be humble and be submissive. God’s WiLLs override your own needs Therefore, humble your self. Hebrew 5:7, Mathew 26:39. 1 Peter 5:5, JAMES 4:6
3. Have the Right Motive. The right motive is to glorify God not your personal ego. God knows your mind besides your outward appearances. John 14:13 JAMES 4:2-3. 1 Samuel 16:7
4. Forgiveness is a must If you want God to hear you. Before you ask God anything check yourself if you’re holding grudges against anyone. Resolve your differences and forgive before you pray to God. Mathew 6:12-13, Mathew 5:23/24 Mark 11:25-26
5. Allow the Holy Spirit to intercede for you . You can’t do nothing without the help of Holy Spirit. Roman 8:14, 26-27
6. You must Love to Win souls for God. John 15:16
7. Sacrifice and offer to God for your healing and deliverance. Luke 5:14, Hebrew 11:4. Psalm 50:6,12-16

Prophetic Messages To All The Nations

Mar 272020
 

Thus said the Lord,
“Come near, you nations, to hear;
And heed, you people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it,
The world and all things that come forth from it.”
‭‭”For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, And His fury against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭34:1-2 NKJV‬

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.”Psalms‬ ‭9:17‬

Do you make laws that are in contradiction to God’s laws?
Did your nation forget God? Do you believe in God? If your answer is yes to one of these questions? REPENT Now.
God is laughing at us the Psalmist wrote:
“But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision.”Psalms‬ ‭59:8‬ ‭

“The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; They shall put their hand over their mouth; Their ears shall be deaf.”Micah‬ ‭7:16‬ ‭

The truth is that God is the Almighty and the superpowers. Humans are mere dust that can be blown away by Jehovah’s breath.

Thus said the LORD,
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”Hosea‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭

Yahweh sent Prophets Hosea to remind the nation of Israel that they have forgotten His laws and He will reject them and forget their children. Similarly the nations of this world have forgotten the God of their forefathers and we are rejecting God’s law on Marriage between man and woman. Our scientists are cloning humans, plants and animals. Sexual perversion between animals and humans are on the increase just to mention but few.
God is not happy with human race just as he was disgusted with Sodom and Gomorrah.
Jude wrote:
“as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”Jude‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭NKJV

Coronavirus, C19 virus is a wake up call to all the nations.
For example,
America was God’s own country. Her laws was based on Biblical, Godly principles. The rest of the world are copying the Americans laws. However, Americans have rejected and deviated from God’s laws on marriage and cloning. God is not happy with us. If men failed to repent and change their behavior and laws that contravene God’s laws we may not be able to survive the next punishment.

This said the Lord,
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭

We have a choice to choose life and live or to continue in our sins and “pay the price”.
This is best time to come to Jesus for salvation, for deliverance and for healing. And surrender your rulership to Jesus. The nation that pleases God shall follow God’s kingdom principles.

I pray for our Government to humble themselves and declare national month of fasting and prayers;
Reverse their laws to comply with Godly principles;
and God shall heal our lands in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Read Isaiah 26:20

Avoid Spiritual Diabetics

Mar 272020
 

Diabetics is one the auto-immune diseases(different types) caused by overeating sugary foods and drinks. Over 30 million Americans are diagnosed with this disease. Diabetics can causes blindness and kidney failure and death . Just as there’s physical diabetics, there is also spiritual diabetics.
Spiritual diabetics is caused by overeaten sugary and junk spiritual foods.
For example, if your religion is always telling you the sweet talk, telling you false hopes and make you feel comfortable in your sins, then you are being feed with junk spiritual food that causes spiritual diabetics. Very soon you will begin to suffer spiritual blindness and obesity and eventually spiritual death.
Spiritual blindness is when you can no longer see things beyond the present material glory of this world. “Materialistic perceptions of life makes us spiritually shortsighted” quoted from The Book Team Building Skills by Dr. Sunday Adelaja.
Spiritual obesity is when one is dubiously rich and begins to forget the nearness of God’s kingdom. Failure to relates Jesus prophesies to the worldwide events. Not planning for the Rapture with Jesus, these are signs of spiritual obesity. Many of these false prophets will mislead their followers. They will put their disciples into spiritual coma just like Diabetics disease. For example, how come that none of your so called prophets failed to see COVID-19 viruses coming and warn the world of impending pandemic? Jesus said,
“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.
When the blind is leading another blind person both of them will end up in a ditch.
They will eventually leads their members into Hell, not Heaven.
Therefore, avoid spiritual junk foods that causes spiritual diabetics if you desire to make Heavens.
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Worship God In The Spirit and In Truth

Mar 272020
 

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”John‬ ‭4:24‬

Organized Religion has dominated the world since the day of Moses. There was a clergy class of Eli and the laity class of worshipers. This form of religion was based on the Mosaic laws. It was in effect during the birth of Jesus. The Pharisees and the Sadducee misapplied those laws for their own benefits. This form of religion ended in 70 CE when the Roman Army destroyed the Jerusalem Temple, just as, Jesus predicts.
Jesus told the Samaritan woman that a time is coming when people will not go to the mountains or to the Temple in Jerusalem to worship God. Rather a time is coming when people will worship the father in the Spirit and in Truth. Because those worshiping God must worship Him in the spirit and in truth.
(John 4:20-24)
The Holy Spirit confirms end of organized form of worship. How? God said, I will write my words into their hearts and into their minds(the believers). So there will be no need for anyone teaching you to know God.(Hebrew 10:15-17)
Furthermore, Jesus said , where two or three gather together in my name, He will be in their midst.
Presently our religion organization Houses has been shut due to COVID-19 virus.
The tithes and Offering has been reduced or stopped. This period will test Our motives for serving God. This is the time to worship God in the spirit and in truth.
Let us use this opportunity of COVID-19 viruses (Stay Home) period to develop personal relationships with our Heavenly father, and worship Him in the spirit and in truth.
Remember salvation is an individual thing. For the just shall live by faith(not by religion) Roman 1:17.

How Righteousness Exalt a Nation?

Dec 072019
 

What is righteousness? Righteousness
means to be truthful. Absence of lies.
It means Let Your Yes means Yes and No means No.
Jesus said, anything besides YES or NO is from the Devil.

It also means to be Holy. Hebrew 12:14 says,
No one can see God without Holiness and peace.

How can this quality of righteousness exalt a nation and how can Righteousness exalt an individual person.

There is no doubt in my mind that God is the maker of the Earth and the nations.
He knows what can exalt a nation.
He knows how to make a nation great.
He also knows what can bring shame and reproach to a Nation.

How do I know this?

God reveals this to us in the book of Proverbs 14:34
“Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a reproach to any people.”Proverbs‬ ‭14:34‬

Using this Scriptures as a scale to weigh Nigeria Against Righteousness.
This is what am saying let us put Nigerians nations on one side of the scale and Righteousness at other side of the scale.
How would Nigeria fair ?
Is Nigerians a Righteous nation?

For example, country like Switzerland has no gold, no oil, no diamonds but they have honesty and righteousness.
As result of their trust worthiness.
Everyone in all part of the world hide their money in their banks.
Abacha and many corrupt politicians hide money in Swiss bank.
Swiss produce chocolate for the world even though they did not plant a single tree.
Their example, proved God right. It is righteousness and diligence work that exalt a nation. Not abundant Natural Resources and religion.

Please join me to search for Righteousness in our Business Community, in our political nation, in our academic institutions and our Judicial System, in our Security outfit and in our Religion community maybe we can find RIGHTEOUSNESS in any of these institutions.

Let us examine some of the business practices in Nigeria.
When a Road construction company is awarded a contract for 5 million Naira. The government officials will take 65% of the money and the contractor will pocket the rest of the money. That is the reason why there is no good roads in Nigeria.

Let us go to the world of politics.
A typical politicians will borrow money from the bank or sell his fathers property to win an election.
If he is favored by the king makers he will be awarded the position regardless of whether he wins or not.

If he or she becomes the Governor, gues what?

Before he remember those who voted for him, He will diverts the tax payers funds to settle the bank debts and the debts of his godfathers.

These practices are called corruptions. It is not Righteousness. How can corruption exalt a nation?

Let us travel to the academic world in the colleges and universities. Where sex for grade is a common practice.
The female students are found in the night clubs and prostituting themselves instead of reading their books.
They will offer themselves willing to have sex with a senseless professor in an exchange for passing grade.

Their male counterparts are joining gangs and yahoo, yahoo plus plus.
Can this generation exalt the Nigerians nation? NO!
No wonder many of our students are not employable.

Please follow me to the religious nations. Do think our religion house are producing God fearing people? Not really.
Jesus Christ is the foundation of true church and he set a standard of how to worship God with the spirit and in truth.

At this time of the end Majority of the church leaders have deviated from Jesus teachings:
Let us read
Mathew 6:24,31-32
You can not serve God and Mammon Jesus said. Why did Jesus compared Mammon with God? Because money have power to control people. We cannot blame Satan for all things that are happening to us.
God of Mammon is controlling many men of God. There are religious houses in every street in our country and
What is their message:

Mammon and the glory of this world.
They ignored the pattern of worship Jesus laid down for believers and started teaching Mammon’s or miracles money without working.

Jesus rejected the worship of mammon or money. Remember that Satan offered to Jesus the glory of this world if Jesus could worship Him. Jesus rejected the offer to worship money and ejected Satan in Mathew 4:8-10

Apostles Paul said, “
“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:9-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Because Everyone is determined to be rich at all costs, it leads to ungodly practices. In other to be rich some have misquoted the Scriptures to force their followers to part with their earnings. Promising their members Heavens while they are accumulating material riches on Earth.

Many religious the world over, particularly, in Nigeria, They are not bearing good fruits but bad fruits.
They are producing kidnappers, armed robbers, rituals killers and corrupt politicians.
In fact unrighteousness have dominated our national life.
Unless we repent before Jesus arrives.

Despite our natural resources and human capital, Nigerians are among the poorest countries in the world because of unrighteousness.

What a shame? The Bible is the truth. It is not mineral resources that exalt a people.
It is not oil,
it is not gold,
it is not diamonds,
it is not lime stone that exalt a nation.
Can I humble you? It is not religious prayers that exalt a nation.
Nigerians would have been the richest country in the world.

Russians, Hindus, Chinese people don’t pray and they are not religious yet they are better than Nigerians who are praying all days in the churches and on mountains and yet we getting poorer.
That means we are praying to the God of Mammon. God of Money is making people poor.

You shall not be poor in Jesus name.

It is Honesty, Diligence at your job. It is Righteousness that exalt a Nation.

The Nigerians politicians are not Honest
The Nigerians Government is not trustworthy
The Nigerians Educational System is sub standard
The Nigerians Security Nations are thieves.
The Nigerians religious leaders are all producing bad fruits. Bad fruits are bringing shame and poverty to our lands.
We must repent before Jesus arrives.

Even if we bring airplanes to bring all the White people to Africa and we evacuate the black people to Europe and America. In ten years Africa will become a paradise on earth. While America will become worse than Africa. Why? Because bad trees will always produce bad fruits.

The Bible says,
“And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”Matthew‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭

We shall not be cut down in Jesus name.

That may not be our portion in the mighty name of Jesus

Let us rise to our feet and ask God for the Spirit of Truth.
Ask Him for the spirit of Righteousness.
Ask him to give you power to create jobs.
Ask him to give business ideas to create wealth.
Ask Him for the Spirit of diligence and excellence.

Jesus Christ the son of the living God send your word of salvation
Remove sin and the reproach from our country
and let your people be blessed.
In the mighty name of Jesus Jesus.

Alter Call:

Finally if this is your first time you’re coming to this Church and you have accepted Jesus as your savior can you raise up your hands? Raise up your hands and quickly come to the front the Prophets want to pray for you.

Faith Is A Universal Currency.

Nov 202019
 

Faith is a Divine currency.

Faith is a Universal Currency that can purchase all things in the supermarket of God, with due apology to
Bishop Oyedepo.

Just as Earthly Currency can purchase many perishables material things, Faith can purchase every things that money cannot buy. For example, Faith can give you Love but money can’t. Faith can give you joy but money can’t. Faith can give you peace of mind but money can’t. Faith can get you eternal life but money can’t. Faith can get you sleep but money can’t. Faith can give power and dominions but money can’t.
Faith can write your name in the Books of Life but money can’t. Hebrew 11:4-39

Readers Faith is only Divine Currency that can purchase all things from the supermarket of God. Therefore, seek faith and pursue it because it can get you everything both Earthly and Heavenly blessings. Remember faith without work is dead.

You need Faith when you’re looking for a Godly husband or wife.
You need Faith when you’re looking for miracle baby.
You need Faith when you’re looking for a miracle jobs.
You need Faith when you’re need a roof on your head.
You need Faith when you
wants to please and serve God.
The Bible says, Faith come by hearing the word of God and meditating on it. Then you shall be successful. Joshua 1:8.
Faith is counted as righteousness both to Abraham and to the robber on the cross.
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Even though external life is given by grace but you need faith to access it.
Faith is a universal currency that can buy all things from God.
May the spirit of faith come upon you and your generation in the mighty name of Jesus.

The Biblical definition of religion is: religion was based on human tradition, rules, and regulations. Which has little or nothing to do with God.
No wonder Jesus asked to the Pharisees,
“Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Hypocrites!
Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”Matthew‬ ‭15:3, 7-9‬”

Also, the Biblical meanings of religion was emphasized by Apostles Paul in Colossians 2:21-23?
“Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—
which all concern things which perish with the using— according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.”
Colossians‬ ‭2:20, 22

The Above Scripture reveals that religion was based on rules and regulations and it was based on the commandments of men.

During the first dispensation, that is, from Adam to Moses, there was no organized religion.
Individuals are serving God
with the Spirit and truth. Their names were written in the book of life. Read the Book of Hebrew 11:4-30
Notice that none of these people of Faith belong to any religion.

Moses introduces religion of laws and regulations leading to the time of Jesus. The purpose of the law was to expose humans inability to get salvation through the works of the law.

Jesus Christ have put an end to the religion of rules and regulations, which was mediated by Moses.

No wonder Jesus said,
““Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The religion leaders are promoting religion of the Mosaic laws based on rules and regulations for personal gains. The mega-churches is like a slave camp for the exploitation of members.

The truth is, Jesus have paid with his life so that mankind can be free to serve God directly with Faith. This is the time of grace. Grace and love replaced the system of laws of MOSES.

Apostles Paul made this clear when he writes,
“Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.”
Galatians‬ ‭3:24-25‬

Jesus said,”I am the way, the truth and life. Nobody comes to my father but me”. Therefore, any religion based on MOSAIC laws is outdated. There should be no man or religion organization separating people from their God.

Satan the devil keeps promoting false religion in the world. Pretending to be an Angel of lights. Performing miracles and promising material prosperity. Lucifer, is a deceiver and he is a lairs.
He was the first person to introduce the glory of the world in an exchange for worship. In Mathew 4:8-9 it reads,
“Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”Matthew‬ ‭4:8-9‬
Jesus rejected the offer of materialism for serving God.

Satan, the Lucifer disguised himself as an Angel of light. He introduced paganism into religion. Presently, He has opened his own Religion called the Church of Satan, in many countries of the world.

Majority of religion leaders today are directing their members to worship Money or Mammon unknowingly. Read John 6:24.

The teaching of Mammon have dominated our national life and churches.
People want to be rich at all costs. The Bible says,
“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭

What are the consequences of prosperity doctrine in the third world countries like Nigerian?
Do you see any prosperity in Nigeria or in the lives of their church members? NO!

Instead of prosperity we are experiencing poverty.
In facts, Nigerian is among the poorest countries in the world. The product of Religion in Africa is poverty, Kidnapping, banditry, arm robbery, religion fanaticism and killings. Why?
Because they are serving the god of Mammon.

Jesus said:
““No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The teaching of Mammon have dominated our national conscience. It promotes materialism and social vices in the country.
That was why Jesus liking Satan to be a thief, a killer and a destroyer in John 10:10. Money is not the solution to all problems.

Jesus directed true worshippers to God’s Kingdom as the lasting solution to mankind problems. Jesus is promoting God’s kingdom characters based on Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, Faith and self control.

The religion of Jesus Christ in not in church building and crowed, but in God’s Kingdom characters.

Apostles JAMES was specific when he wrote:
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”James‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭

An acceptable religion is not in mega churches but is in serving the poor, serving the widow and the orphans in our communities. The mega churches is counter productive to the kingdom of God. It enslaved members and render them poor. It is nearly impossible to show love and care for a crowd of 1000 members.

I also observed that churches are drifting to idolatry. By idolizing money and humans above God. Jesus said, “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.”
Matthew‬ ‭23:9‬
People are making God jealous by calling men “Father” and by quoting their Pastors instead of quoting God. This is paganism and idolatry.
We need to repent before Jesus arrives.

In summary, religion of rules and regulations have ended with Jesus Christ on the cross.
True religion is to go and serve the needy in their communities. Also to have direct and personal relationship with God.
The time is now, when the true worshippers will worship the father with the spirit and truth. John 4:24

Funeral Talks

Sep 282019
 

Funeral Service
Dealing With Your Grief.

The Bible says in Ecclesiastical 3:1-2
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;”Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1-2‬

This means everyone us knows when we are born but none us knows the date and time of our death.

There many misconceptions about the dead in various cultures. Some people believed a dead person can hurt them. And
Many people are wondering wether the dead can still protect the living, wether their death love ones can still love his family and he fight his enemies?

In other words, can our beloved Son, father, husband, uncles, our friend or brothers, Felix Fon Tebug love his family again, can he protect his family ? Can he engage in business and careers activities ?
To answer these questions let us consult the creator of man who have the accurate answers to this questions in Ecclesiastical 9 :5-6
The Bible says the deaths are conscious of nothing at all.
“For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9:5-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

That means He can’t participate in anything done under the sun
He has forgotten his business, carries, friends-and families.
Therefore, whatever you plan to do for your families, and for your friends and for your God, you should do it while you’re still living.
Don’t propane enjoyment. More importantly don’t delay your service to God.

It is most unfortunate for a person to work hard and by the time they beginning to enjoy the fruits of their
labor,suddenly death took them.
Therefore, It is a tragedy not to fulfill one’s destiny before death comes.
Moreover Life without Jesus is vanity.
“because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the LORD endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.”1 Peter‬ ‭1:24-25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Another question people are asking is:
Is it appropriate for Christians to grieve and show some emotional outburst like crying. The answer is YES.

The Bible record shows that Jesus wept at hearing that His friends Lazarus died. Jesus openly wept at the death of Lazarus his friend even though he has the power to resurrect him. John 11:33-35

“For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I am mourning; Astonishment has taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead, Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery For the health of the daughter of my people?”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭8:21-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Yes it proper for a Christian to cry when their love ones dies. But grieving should be moderate.

Another question people always ask is, if a person dies can he live again?
Can our friends and brother FELIX FON LIVE AGAIN.?

The answer to this question is very important to all Christians living or death.
If a People who serving God die can they live again?

This question is very important because death is social leveler
Meaning that death is killing both Christian and pagan.
Death is killing both the righteous and the wicked.
Death is killing both the rich and the poor.
Death is a social leveler. Because all humans are dying regardless of their status in life.
However,
I Thessalonians 4:13,14
Paul wrote:
“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The assurance we have as a Christian is the that since Jesus Christ died and rose on the third day, anyone who died in Christ will also be resurrected:

If the spirit of God resurrected Jesus from grave, the same spirit of God will resurrect our love one who slept in Dead. Roman 8:11

“Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth— those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:28-29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God will remember those who died serving God and He will reward them with everlasting life or life without end in Paradise in Heaven.
This is our hope for Mr.Felix Fon Tebug.
We should be encouraged to serve God While we are still living. because a life without God is vanity.

Our Consolation is that Jesus conquered the death at his resurrection and the death is the last enemy will be destroyed:
Let open our Bible to the 1 Corinthians 15:20-26

“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:20-21, 23-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

After the destruction of dead and the last enemy of human race God declared:
In the book of Revelation 21:4 God promised you and I

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:4‬ ‭

Acts 9:1-6

1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

MESSAGE

Our God is a God of purpose, and everything He does fits into a grand purpose He has at the back of His mind. For this reason, He has both a general and a specific purpose for the life of everyone who becomes adopted into His family by being born again (Ephesians 1:5 & 11). “Purpose” is used here to mean the reason for which a thing is done or created, or the reason why something exist. According to the word of God, we are born again for the general purpose of manifesting and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the nations of the world (1 Peter 2:9). We are also born again for a specific purpose that is revealed to each of us in the course of time (2 Timothy 1:9, Acts 26:16). It is also true that we are saved for the purpose of worship and service.

While it is great to have and discover one’s purpose, it is much more important to have the ability and resources to fulfill this purpose. Every human being seems to have some awareness of their abilities and limitations. When a person has the ability to undertake an assignment, he or she will respond to the assignment with confidence, but when confronted with a purpose that is beyond our capacity, our natural response is fear and anxiety. Truthfully, God’s purpose for us will always be beyond what our own abilities can handle. However, we need not be discouraged by our inadequacies and personal weakness because our weakness is not an obstacle before God. He can accomplish His purpose, “whether with many, or them that have no power” (2 Chronicles 14:11).

God’s purpose will be accomplished in any situation regardless of personal weakness or limitations. He have chosen to work in this manner because He does not want anyone to glory in his presence, nor does He share His glory with anybody (1 Corinthians 1:27-29, Isaiah 42:8). He therefore specializes in using physically weak and inadequate people to confound and dispossess giants, formidable enemies and great armies. He used young David, a first-timer at the war front, to overcome Goliath, the enormous champion of the Philistine army (1 Samuel 17). He used four unarmed leprous men to put to flight the whole Syrian army which had besieged Samaria for months (2 Kings 7:3-11). He also used ordinary people to dispossess the giant occupants of Canaan of their land (Deuteronomy 3:12-13). All these examples were made possible because God’s purpose is always carried out by the power of His Spirit, and this power is made perfect in human weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). The power of God will work through you to accomplish the purpose of God in this generation in Jesus’ Name
