What is testimony?

Testimony is a statement or declaration of a witness under oath or affirmation, usually in court. It is an evidence in support of a fact or statement; proof.

In faith it is an open declaration or profession, as of faith. Usually, testimonies is the precepts of God. God lives in Praises.

Given testimony or bear witness to what God has done for you brings gladness to Him and it is an application for more. If you give your testimony on one thing God has done for you, be ready to receive another miracle.

Testimonies must accompany Miracles. Why is Testimony important.

Testimony is so important that God commanded Moses to build an ark of testimony and keep his unusual acts or miracles inside it.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan. (‭Exodus‬ ‭16‬:‭34-35‬ NKJV).

And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you. (‭Exodus‬ ‭25‬:‭16‬ NKJV). You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy. (‭Exodus‬ ‭26‬:‭34‬ NKJV)

They ate manna for 40 Years and non of the suffered diabetes, sickness from eating manna. This testimony was kept in the ark of Testimonies and is written down in the Bible and that is why we are reading about it today.

One of God favorite servant was King David. God said, David is a man after my hearts. Why did God favor David to the point of establishing an everlasting covenant with him?

Is King David the most Holy, Righteous person or was he a sinner, an adulterous man and a man that kill the husband of Barsheba in other To cover his sins? Why? Why my father? Why did you say David is a man after my hearts? Why did God establish everlasting Covenant with David?

Hear what God said, in Psalm 89:20-29
“I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him, With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. I will beat down his foes before his face, And plague those who hate him. “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted. Also I will set his hand over the sea, And his right hand over the rivers. He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’ Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth. My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him. His seed also I will make to endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭89:20-29‬ ‭NKJV‬

Why Did God Love David So much?

King David loves to give testimony about God goodness. He was not ashamed to give praises and testimony about his God. When God forgive him. He gives testimonies. When God show him mercy, He gives Testimonies and when God bless him, He gives testimonies
When God rebuke him, he praise him? When Heal him, He gives testimonies. When he suffered the consequences of his actions, he praises God.

Now put yourself in God’s position as a father or as a mother. You have a son that alway talk good things about you. When you buy him things he gives testimonies. When you discipline him, he thank you and praise your name. He is alway happy to have a parent. What would you do for such an appreciative son or daughter? You will Love and trust such son or daughter. You will write the name of that son or daughter in your WILL.

That

If you want God’s favor and his smile upon your lives, Give testimonies. Follow me to read some of the Testimonies as written by King David.

Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, For they are the rejoicing of my heart.(Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭111‬ NKJV).

Have received anything from God today or yesterday or last year? Has God heal you of any sickness or disease?
Give testimonies so that that your healing can permanently.
Do you over a challenge in your education or at your business or career? Give testimonies so that that challenge can be permanently defeated?

You can defeat Cancers and you defeat death with your testimonies
You can overcome the power of the enemies by your testimonies

Revelation 12:11 says,”And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony’s?Revelation 12:11

King Hezekiah Defeated death by giving testimonies to God
and God added fifteen more years to his life 2 King 20:1-6

If your Doctor report says, you have six months left to live, reject the doctor report and come to Jesus, the great physician and you shall be healed in the mighty name of Jesus.

You need to contact me as soon as possible and l will teach you how receive your healing in the name of Jesus.

Did Jesus approve Testimonies

Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him. And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest,
and make an offering for your cleansing,
as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.” (‭Luke 5‬:‭13-14‬ NKJV)

I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed. (‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭46‬ NKJV)

I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. (‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭99‬ NKJV)

Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. (‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭88‬ NKJV)

Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches.

Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies.

Your testimonies also are my delight And my counselors.

I cling to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame!

Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness.

I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed.

I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

The wicked wait for me to destroy me, But I will consider Your testimonies.

I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation.

You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; Therefore I love Your testimonies.

I am Your servant; Give me understanding, That I may know Your testimonies.

Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them.

Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful.

The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live.

I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.

Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever.

Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.

My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You. (‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭2, 14, 22, 24, 31, 36, 46, 59, 95, 99, 119, 125, 129, 138, 144, 146, 152, 157, 167-168‬ NKJV)

Examples of those who Give their Testimonies

The Legion Man /Lunatic Man
Luke 8:39
“The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.”(Luke‬ ‭8:38-39‬ ‭)

John 4:39
“Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers.”(John‬ ‭4:39-41‬ )

God Also give Testimonies

“And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭13:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Many people today are turning to religion prosperity doctrines in search of economic wellbeing and to break free from economic slavery.
Mostly in poor countries where the government and corrupt officials have denied the citizenry of their basic necessities of life; it is a no wonder poor people the world over are turning to a prosperity doctrine as a panacea to their economic problems.
For example, in Nigeria, every available kiosk, shops, and flats have been converted into churches. The doctrine is either prosperity or miracles. In spite of numerous churches and Mosques, corruption, stealing, robbery, kidnapping, and religion terrorism continues unabated. All these people belong to one religion or the other. Why may you ask?

When people are hungry and their lives are at risk, they will do anything to survive, regardless of their religion. You can hardly find a trusted friend in the church or upright men and woman of God.
Many church leaders are now in the dilemma of teaching prosperity as a Christian doctrine because that is what people want to hear. Bishop Oyedepo said, “Food is the goodness to a hungry person and employment is the good-news to the unemployed graduates”. This is true. That was why many Pentecostal churches are having an overwhelming membership.
The fact is, the Bible truth is not about material prosperity. The early Apostles did not accumulate material wealth and God counted them worthy of everlasting life. Some of these Christians died a painful death because of their faith in God. God did not prevent their painful death or physical affliction. When any man of God is undergoing some afflictions or test of their faith, some people tend to ask, where is your God?
One lady asked, why would a man of God have a plane crash if it is true that he is serving God? I reminded her that the same reason why God allows his only begotten son to undergo a painful death on the cross. Does that mean Jesus was not serving God? She got the point.
This comment shows their limited understanding of God. Many people have been misled by prosperity teaching which focuses people on only a blissful life and material prosperity.
Jesus said, “If anyone wants to be my follower, let him or her carry their cross and follow him. Anyone who endures to the end shall be safe.” (Matthew 24:13)
These statements put everyone on notice that endurance is a must for all Christians who desire Everlasting Life. Endurance is needed because Servants of God are the target of demonic attack. Endurance is what we need not Material prosperity doctrine. No one can use the money to buy everlasting life.
Trust me your wealth cannot pay for your life either now or in the future, otherwise, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Products would have been alive today.
Anthony Bourdain job was to travel the world and to taste food from different part of the world for CNN. The recent deaths of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade by suicide shows that money is not the solution to all problems. Therefore, people who come to prosperity churches in search of economic wellbeing may be disappointed and if care is not taken they may be worse off if they did not work hard. Jesus says, those who endured to the end shall be saved.
Apostle Paul was highly anointed to the point that his handkerchief was taken to the sick and they were healed. Yet he was enduring painful afflictions himself. Three times he prayed to Jesus for healing but there was no relief. (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
Jesus himself prayed to his father, “If this cup can pass over me, but not as I will but let your will be done.” God allowed his only begotten son to die a painful death. His death opened the graves and the dead were resurrected. Mankind has the hope of living forever in God’s kingdom because Jesus endured to the end. Christians are not exception. We must learn to endure to the end of our lives.
Again, Jesus, in advising his disciples about material prosperity, said, “Do not put your treasures on earth where robbers can steal, but rather store up your treasures in Heaven, where thieves and robbers cannot reach, for where your treasures is that is where your heart will be” (Matthew 6:19-21).
Jesus advice was to put your heart in God’s Kingdom as the only solution to all your problems. Material prosperity is not the solution.
Poverty does not glory God either. All God’s servants are rich both materially and spiritually. But they don’t pray for it because God knows their needs before they ask. Preaching and praying for riches is not necessary. Why?
The question is do your own children beg you before they eat food in the house, wear their own cloth and wear their own shoes? The answer is no.
Jesus said, in Mathew 6:33 “Seek God’s Kingdom first and its righteousness and all these others things will be added unto you.” You don’t need to pray for what belong to your father in the Heavens. He knows that you need them before you ask for it.
Instead of teaching materialism doctrines, we should concentrate on preaching God’s requirements for salvation such as bearing the fruits of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives which is
LOVE, JOY, PEACE, Kindness, Faith, Goodness and self control. The Bible says there is no law against the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. For examples, God’s Servants like Solomon, Job and King David, Bishop Oyedepo they never pray for material things but they are supernaturally rich because they spend their time serving God.
Let us emulate their good examples.
However many pastors today are in predicament between preaching material prosperity and have overflowing crowd of people in their church or preach salvation and have fewer people in the Church. Greed and ignorance makes people to want to become rich at all cost. Some people want to be identified with mega churches. In my ministries when I invite people to come for a Bible studies, their question is how many people are in your church? People are looking for where they will be entertained and to have their inching ears tickled.
Apostle Paul predicted this, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”(2 Timothy ‭4:3-4‬)

Satan the Devil is the god of this system and he was the first person to use materialism to lure Jesus for worship.
He took him to an unusual high mountain and showed him the kingdom of this world and the glittering glory of it and said to Jesus, “I will give you this entire kingdom and its glory if you worship me.” Jesus rejected the offer and said, get behind me Satan, it is written Worship only the true God.” (Matthew 4:8-10).
Therefore, material prosperity is not a Christianity doctrine. Jesus did not teach it as doctrine.
The fact is, God is our father and he have unlimited resources to give to his obedient children. Just like our natural parents, an obedient child will be provided with food, clothing, and shelter without struggle and crying. The truth is, anyone who practiced giving shall receive. Anyone who sows seed must reap what what they have sown. If you plant a seed, you must harvest the seed regardless of your belief or religion. These are fundamental law of nature. It is not subject to religion, prayers, or fasting. If you give to the poor, God will repay you whether you pray for it or not. (Genesis 22:8)(Luke 6:38)
Abraham, King Solomon, Job and King David, all these men of God were not Christians and they were very rich without asking God for it. For examples, when God ask Solomon to ask for anything he wants, King Solomon ask for wisdom, discernment and knowledge to rule God’s people. Because of his humility and obedient, God add to him riches, glory and long life(Proverb 22:4). Our God never change, you will not lack anything if you obey divine instructions.
Therefore, the teaching of materialism is very misleading and can put unsuspecting Christians into spiritual drowsiness and sleep. Jesus said, the Lord ‘s day will come as a thief and many Christians will be caught napping, because they will be carried away with mundane things of life. Jesus further said, that day will be like Noah’s day when people are busy accumulating material things, dancing, making merry, marrying and been married and suddenly that day will come as thief.
Our modern day father of faith Bishop Oyedepo and the father of holiness, Pastor Adeboye have written many books on faith and holiness. They have given testimonies of how God supernaturally blessed them because they focus their attention on God’s Kingdom and Kingdom Advancement prayers(Matthew 6:33). The Bible says we should imitate their faith. If you can not imitate their faith and holiness don’t expect God to bless you supernaturally like them.
(Hebrews‬ ‭13:7‬ ‭GNB‬‬)
Before I became a born again Christian, I did not know about tithing and offering but I always give to the poor and to the work of God. Even when I was unemployed, I continued to give. Giving makes me fulfilled and happy. Thank God I did not know poverty either. The point is, God knows your heart condition and He will reward you based on that.
As a Servant of God, Jesus Christ, should be our role model. The Bible says, “Look unto Jesus, the perfecter and finisher of our faith.” (Hebrew 12:2)
Jesus catalogued all the signs that will mark his second coming, such as wars and false prophets and persecution of Christians but material prosperity is not one of those signs of the last days. (Matthew 24:3-50)
If Jesus Christ comes today, where would you be? What is your motivation for serving God? One thing I know for sure, God cannot be fooled with your with your material possessions.
God is not a respectful of persons, anyone whose heart conditions is agreeable with him and endured to the end shall be saved, regardless of their economic status or religion.
Some people are saying material prosperity is a sign of God’s blessings. What about those who did not know God and yet they are materially blessed?
There are places in the world where the good news or Christianity have not been preached yet. Such as where Hinduism, Shintoism, and Islam are the dominant religion. There are millions of people who did not serve our God and yet they are multimillionaires. Therefore, linking material prosperity teaching to Christianity is very misleading. It is not necessary.
This is the time Apostle Paul was talking about. Preaching only material Prosperity is damaging to our spiritual health and it can lead to spiritual death. A true man of God must strike the balance between telling people what they like to hear and what Jesus wants Pastors to tell the flocks. Teaching the Bible truth is the only way to assist people to conform to God’s standards which in turn can lead to Everlasting Life.
Come to think of it, it is contradictory to be accumulating wealth on earth and at same time preaching Heaven, one cannot have it both ways. Apostle Peter painted the picture of what to expect in the last days. (2 Peter 3:10-13)
He said, the present earth and the heavens will melt by fire and destruction. And we are awaiting a new earth and a new heaven where righteousness will dwell. The present earth and the physical heavens have been polluted by man. God wants to create a new earth and new heavens where only the righteous people will live.
To my understanding it is wasteful and foolishness for any believer to be accumulating materials things on this earth that will soon passes away.
Someone may ask what shall we do with church money if we don’t spend it? Church offering and tithes should be used to help the poor, pay the full time Servant of God, such as, pastors and evangelist and organizing crusades, heralding the second coming of Jesus.
Winning Soul for Jesus should be our focus and we should pay the evangelist and the pastors who are taking the lead to win soul for Christ. Jesus said, in Matthew 24:14 that this goodness of the Kingdom will be preached AS A WITNESS to all the nations and then the END shall come.
This means that our major concern is to inform people about God’s Kingdom and its requirements for becoming the citizen of God’s Government. Convincing and conversion belong to Holy Spirit and our God. Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless my father draws him or her.” (John 6:48).
In summary, material prosperity doctrine is not one of Jesus teaching of repentance and grace of salvation. Prosperity is not among the composite signs of Jesus second coming.
Satan was first person to offer materialism to Jesus in exchange for worship. Jesus rejected that offer. The fact is anyone can become rich. Drug barons, unbelievers and anyone can become rich either by God blessing or by demonic powers.
Any obedient sons or daughter of God don’t need to suffer lack of provision because Jesus is a good provider and he will provide for you without problem, if you know your right as a child of God
God said, in Exodus 23:25-26 “you shall serve the LORD and he shall bless your food and water and he take sickness away from you. No one shall be barren and I will fulfill the number of your days”. Obedient in serving God is required to access God’s provisions and everlasting life.

The goal of Jesus Witness Ministries is to win a million souls for Jesus Christ annually and to prepare them to become a citizen of God’s Kingdom.
We would pay full time evangelists and the full time pastors for winning souls for Jesus. We would organize three to four crusades to meet our goals of a million souls for Christ. Our missionaries will take the good news of God’s Kingdom to all human races anywhere in the world. We would focus the attention of the new converts to God’s Kingdom and it’s righteous as permanent solution to all problems.

Are you experiencing stress in your marriage? Is your marriage under attack? Is there frequent fight and argument at home? Is your home becoming a war zone rather peaceful haven? Are you thinking of divorce? Have you reached a breaking point in your relationship? Is your marriage in crisis? If you are one of the people who have been enduring your marriage, this message is for you. The chief marriage wrecker is Satan the devil.
He is the counterfeiter and a destroyer of marriage. One of the God institutions was the marriage between male and female. But what do you have today? Same sex marriages. Satan started to overturn marriage upside down from the Garden of Eden. He imposed Eve as the head of her husband rather than Adam as the head. How did he do this? By letting the woman to taste the fruit of knowledge of Good and bad before Adam does. So the women are wiser than men. They can plan your future of their prospective husband even before they meet the man. Again, Satan introduced violence and killing into the first family. Cain the first son killed Abel his brother. Violence and abuse is not new to the family. Marriage was founded on the principle of Theocracy. Democracy has replaced Theocracy. Paul Apostle says, “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”(Ephesian 6:12). Who are these? Who are the agents of the devil that Satan can use to destroy your marriage? These can be spiritual wife or spiritual husband. They can be your friends and relatives, such as evil in-laws and your own ignorance and pride.

The good new is, Jesus gave all the believers the Power that is greater than that of Satan, but you need activate this power before it can work for you. You Got the Power. Activate it to protect your Marriage.

The fact is Marriage is to be enjoyed and not to be endured.

My message to you is Protect Your Family from Marriage Wreckers.

Jesus promised all the believers that we would receive power when the Holy Spirit arrives upon us. (Act 1:8). All we need to do is to activate this power so that we can use it to protect ourselves and to protect our family from spiritual attack. For example, you may have a million Dollar in your Credit Card (Master or Visa Card) but you need to activate it before you can utilize the money.
If you have not got the power, ask Holy Spirit and it shall be given you, if you ask in faith. (Luke 11:13) Use Jesus language if need be to bring your thought in line with Godly principles. Jesus said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” (Matthew 16:23 NIV) A husband or wife can use the same language to bring your partner to reason in Godly way. Like you say, don’t call the police! Jesus can help us iron this out.

If your marriage is in crisis? Jesus Christ can safe your relationship from marriage wrecker. All you need to do is to apply the following counsels.
Forgive yourself and forgive your marriage partner at all times. Do me and I do you destroy marriages. An eye for eye makes everyone a blind person.
Marriage was not based on competition but on cooperation with your partner. Marriage was not base on equal rights but on equal peace in the home. That means don’t fight for your rights but fight for peace in your home. Plant the seed of honor so that you can reap the fruit of honor. Tackled the problems and not the persons. How to tackle the root course of the problem. For example, A couple in Nigeria was having fundamental family problems. After listen to both side, I discovered that both of them are not the problem but the infracstrucral problems in Nigeria. I want them to switch role for one week. That the wife should travel to the husband worksite at Lekki and come back to Alagbado for one week. I was ready to give pay the husband for keeping his children for one week. The husband complained that his wife always stay late at her tailoring shop. She doesn’t cook at home, she does not fetch water and she must go.
The wife said, “ I have no electricity to do my tailoring job during the day. She has to finish the customer job when the NEPA brings light at night. With 4 Children to care for it is difficult to please her husband. I ask the husband, do you want your wife to stop working? He answered no way, her financial contribution is very important. Then my second questions to the husband was, can you take care of three boys for one week and your wife will go out and come back with money? Ha a ? I go die o the man replied. I can’t take care of them for one day. Then I let them know their problem is not about your wife but the infrastructural problem in the country. Which none of you can control. The fight was over because they know their common enemy. They are living peacefully ever since. Another Family was saved in America:
The man never work because there was no working paper. The wife works two jobs to pay the bills and feed the family. The wife got to a breaking points and asked the husband to leave. Why? The husband does nothing in the house to assist the wife. I was invited: I asked the husband, why are you not helping your wife in the kictchen? He said, “ My father never enter kitchen” I told him, that is your father in the village. This is America you need to assist your wife in the house since you’re not working outside the home. You need to change your mentality. The family are now happy living together. All glory be to Jesus. The Bible says, my people are perish for lack of knowledge”(Hosea 4:6). Many times lack of understanding and pride destabilize many homes.
God is the maker of marriage institution and he has a manual to solve any problems that arise from that institution.

The Power of tongue
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21 NIV) This article will analyze how we can utilize the power of our tongue to benefit ourselves and show how some people have use their tongue to hurt themselves. These are some of good examples of people who use their tongue positively. God told king Hezekiah that he would die from his sickness. But the King says NO! I will not die. As a result, God added 15 more years to his life.(2 King 20:1-6) Another example was when Caleb and Joshua entered the promised land because of what they say with their month, while other people died in the wilderness because of their complaints. God tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say: (Numbers 14:28 NIV).
The point is what you say with your tongue to your husband, to your wife and to your children and to all the people around you determine your happiness, your good health, and your progress in life. Use your tongue wisely to protect your family. The power is in your tongue use it to benefit yourself and your loved ones. When God created all thing including you, he declared it very good (Gen. 1:25) Anything that is not good is from the devil.
Stop using demonic negative language to yourself and to others. Any behavior that does not befit the Children of God is from the devil. Any statement that does not honor God is from the Enemy. Uncontrollable anger is a spirit of the demons. Uncharitable comment that degrade others people is from the devil. Unforgiving spirit is from the devil. Pride crashes people and God oppose the haughty spirit. Keeping Grudges can cause psychological and physical diseases such as, Cancer, hypertension, strokes, panic attack and many others. Please avoid keeping grudges at all times. “Drudge is a poison that you keep within yourself, hoping it will kill your enemy” according to Former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. (Deuteronomy 7:15 NIV) Tame your tongue to do you good. The Bible says, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit”.(Proverbs 18:21 NIV) Use your tongue to prophesy what type of family you want. Tell your partner I want to be happy today. Tell your children, I want you to make God and me proud today. Your prophesy will come to pass for you in Mighty Name of Jesus. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. (James 3:5, 6 NIV)
Stop judging others, so that they will not judge you. Pray for your enemies so that they may repent. Praise God and people so that you can be praised in return. Apply Bible counsel to yourself.
Say this prayer,
The spirit of Anger is demonic. It is cast out now! In the mighty name of Jesus
Any demonic influence in my life is cast out in The Mighty Name of Jesus.
Any spirit Jealousy is cast out now. In the Mighty Name of Jesus.
The spirit of arrogance is from the devil. Jesus cast it out in my life
My God remove all traces of self-pride in me in the Name of Jesus.
Give me a humble spirit and spirit of modesty in the name of Jesus.
Let my tongue say up-building and uplifting talk in the name of Jesus.
Remember that what you sow is what you will reap.
Say this prayer,
God Let me bear the fruitage of God’s spirit in my life.(Love, Peace, Joy, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Meekness, Faith and Self-control
Please father give me a forgiving spirit in the mighty name of Jesus
Father removes grudges from me in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
Therefore, you got the power, Use it to protect your family from home wreck.

Destiny: Biblical Evidence of Destiny

DISCOVERING YOUR OWN DESTINY

Every manufacturer of a product knows the functions of the product before it is placed on sale in the market.

For example, Before-your phone was made the maker knows the functions and the the features of the phone before it was placed on sale in the market.

Similarly, our creator and maker Jesus Christ and Jehovah God knows your destiny before you’re born to your parents.

God knows your destination before you begin the journey of your lives.

For example, “God told Jeremiah that before your mother conceived you , I knew thee. I made you a prophet-to the nations”(Jeremiah 1:5).

430 years of Slavery in Egypt

Another example was when God told Abraham: “I Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.”(Genesis‬ ‭15:12-15NKJV‬‬).

Abraham seeds spent four hundred and thirty years in bondage as a slave in Egypt. Why? Because God has the abilities to know in advance what you will be in life and what you shall go through before you get there.

One may asked? What is destiny? Destiny is a program God has for your life. God Own plan of God for your life.

The most difficult thing to discover is your own destiny and the plan God has for your lives.

I prayed that God show you your destination before you begin the journey of your life in the mighty name of Jesus.

If you believe me, shout a believing Amen. You shall discover your destiny in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

This foreknowledge of your life, is known as destiny.

God knows your destination before you were created.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future(Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11 NIV).

All these examples shows that God has definite plan for each person before they were born.

However, Satan the devil and the demons, the wicked people, the witches and wizard can also knows your potential and your destiny before you were born.

The devil and her agents can vandalized your destiny. That will not be our portion in the name of Jesus.

religion and disobedience can vandalized ones destiny.

Samson was a bad example, he was destined to avenge for the killing of the Jews by the philisten and to destroy God’s enemies. However, Samson vandalized his own destiny due to disobedience to God’s instructions not to marry pagans. (‭Judges‬ ‭Chapter 13‬ to 16)

Apostle Paul was one of the apostle who believed in predestination and penned down these words in one of his letters to the Romans. He wrote: “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”(Romans‬ ‭8:29-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

This means that if you have been predestined to live forever, regardless of your present situation God will bring you to Jesus for salvation.

He will liberate you from secret cult, from false religion and from your own disobedience.

The robber on the cross at the right hand of Jesus was a good example of predestination to be with Jesus in paradise.

Another example was Jacob And Esau, The Lord said to their mother, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger. God further said , Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.(Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭13, 15-16‬)” (‭Genesis‬ ‭25‬:‭23‬ NIV

Even the Demons Know that they have destined time.
And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” (‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭29‬ NKJV)

How to Discover Your Destiny:

Isaiah 8:18
I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.(Isaiah‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

This means your children are not a product of chance or unforeseen occurrences. They are for signs and wonders to their generation. They are equip with different talents and gifts. However their environment determines how far,they can achieve in life. Their parents , their religious and their friends can alter their destiny for good or bad.

for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, (‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭28-30‬ NKJV)

In summary, whatever that is happening to you God knows the beginning and the end of all matters. He created some people for his glory and made THEM vessel for honorable purpose.

While he made some people for destruction and for dishonorable purpose. It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s Wills and mercy. A Child of Destiny
