In Times Like This by Adeyinka Ojo



We live in the days when we need to show the evidence of our relationship with Christ to
the world system. Generations come and go but theword of God remains the same to this day.

The word of our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to pass at a rate that should seriously alarm us. The people ofthe world are asking us for proofs of both ourstewardship and our faith. Just as Jesus said, we arethe salt and the light of the world; a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. 

Sadly, we have refused to measure up to the standard and the world is becoming unbearable for mankind; simply because we are at ease in Zion.

We are living in perilous times. Men are lovers of themselves; lovers of money, and are boastful, proud, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Majority are chasing after shadows, looking for things that naturally should be added to them. 

We have misplaced our priority; we have left Jesus at 'Jerusalem', thinking He is still in our company. We have travelled on far looking for Jesus; in the crowd, among friends and relatives, not knowing He's in the secret.

Just before His second appearance, the world has become the den of lions. Men who should be fighting are celebrating, giants are weak and those who should be poor in spirit are rich in unrighteous mammon. The world does not regard us again. The pagans now see us as competitors. Sin has made us cold in this generation. 

The world does not oppose us again. We are so feeble that it just ignores us. In the eyes of our sworn foes we simply do not count.

 The world could not ignore the first disciples. They were beaten, burnt alive, and stoned to death. Many of them had properties confiscated. 

They became scapegoats, whilst they were made a public show in the amphitheaters of the world.

Why is it that the world is on such good terms with us? It is because we have signed an armistice with the devil. We have put our hand to sin, compromising instead of contending. 

These days we must enter a revival against worldliness in our lives. It appears that we have being robbed of His power and placed in
an embarrassing position, one in which we cannot manifest the power of God.

Most preachers are not telling us the mind of Christ again; but are building empires for themselves, when their Savior did not have a place to lay his head while on earth. 

We are looking for greener pastures where
moth can destroy. One good Baptist once said to Dr. Tozer, “If God withdrew the Holy Spirit tomorrow, my church would function just the same; we wouldn't even know He was gone.” 

Brother Leonard Ravenhill once said; “I tell you if Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.”

The wickedness of the wicked is increasing and innocent people are looking for a place of refuge from their wrath. The devil is taking the battle to our very door posts.

While babies are crying, the fathers are
looking on, helpless. Today our hospitals cannot hold all of our people because of the increase of sickness and disease in the land. 

Those in the world system are asking; “Where can we find help?”

As government institutions collapse, the political system is failing. Economies of the world are collapsing and the world system as established by our enemy is not helping. The scientists are still looking for solutions and the religions cannot help.

All human ideologies and philosophies have failed. The only solution to every problem and challenge in life is locked up in the power of God, which is present in the Holy Spirit.

It takes a highly consecrated and dedicated life to unlock the world of the supernatural. This is the realm where sin and doubts disappear; an
atmosphere that is ever saturated with the
outpouring of God's presence and love.

GOD MOVE WHEN YOU MOVE

GOD MOVE WHEN YOU MOVE When you act upon God’s word, then you will see results. God word is in two faces- the rhema and the logos. Rhema is the reveal word of God to a person-the instant, personal speaking of God to us and Logos is the written word of God-the bible. These are the method God speak to His children! Understanding this and acting upon them accordingly guarantee our flight. God only move in response to our scriptural moves. When we are not making move, it's impossible to move God. God can't reach us until we respond in faith. We can't sit down making no move and expect God to perform magic. It's your move that move God. Faith is not mere confession, but a great profession. Is not what you say but what you do. It always demands a move. Always doing what God says. Abraham was justified by what he did and not what he says. Faith is an action word. Is not just saying what God says but doing what God says. Faith is the proof of wha...

A Prayer Meeting that Lasted 100 Years

F ACT: The Moravian Community of Herrnhut in Saxony, in 1727, commenced a round-the-clock “prayer watch” that continued nonstop for over a hundred years. FACT:  By 1791, 65 years after commencement of that prayer vigil, the small Moravian community had sent 300 missionaries to the ends of the earth. Could it be that there is some relationship between those two facts? Is fervent intercession a basic component in world evangelization? The answer to both questions is surely an unqualified “yes.” That heroic eighteenth-century evangelization thrust of the Moravians has not received the attention it deserves. But even less heralded than their missionary exploits is that  hundred-year prayer meeting  that sustained the fires of evangelism. During its first five years of existence the Herrnhut settlement showed few signs of spiritual power. By the beginning of 1727 the community of about three hundred people was wracked by dissension and bickering. An unlikely...

The True Grace of God by Zac Poonen

False grace” is not a 21st-century phenomenon. It was being preached even in the days of the apostles. Jude speaks of “some godless people who had slipped in unnoticed among the churches, and who had distorted the message of the grace of God in order to excuse their immoral ways” and who were teaching “that after we become Christians we can do just as we like without fear of God's punishment” (Jude 4 - Today’s English Version and Living Bible). So Peter was prompted by the Holy Spirit to write a whole letter explaining what the true grace of God was (1 Peter). At the end of that letter, he says, “I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!” (1 Pet.5:12). So, if we study Peter’s first letter, we can understand what true grace is. Check yourself and see whether you have the true grace of God: The Holy Spirit says that the true grace of God: - Will make you live in obedience to God’s Word – and not according to the...
