I’ll define a mind as a full of all sort of good and bad things. The way God created our mind is so powerful that whatever we think, believe, we can achieve. And that is why God confused the general language of man in the book of (Gen. 11 vs 1-7) God did this because human beings are so powerful and wise to the extent of building a tower, they believe it will reach to Heaven. The same thing is applicable to the inventors of today, although theirs was used in a good way, yet all these things started from the mind. Do you use your mind the way God wants you to use it? Do use it powerfully just as it was created? People like the Wright brothers who think something could fly in the sky apart from eagle used their mind, somebody like Mark Zukerberg who think face book can connect you with all your old and new friends used his mind, people like Asa Chandler, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton, Michael faraday, Martin Luther King (Jnr.) Alexander Bell. All these men are great because they exercise the power of their mind. What do you set your mind on? Is it how you’ll defraud your fellow country men, or causing trouble among them. All these are negative way of using one’s mind and it is very dangerous. The way people think are different from each other and that is why everyone on the surface of the earth are not the same. Because people of great and good minds will always be at the top. King David was a man of great mind, and that is why the Lord chooses him among all his brothers. Joseph has a great mind, and that is why he achieved his dream. King Solomon was blessed with everything because of the mind he has. What kind of mind do you have? So many people, most especially the great inventors achieved that much because of the way their mind is positioned. Some people are so timid and are always afraid of everything, so they refuse to try because they fear a lot. And the Bible says “for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power of love and of self discipline” (2 Timothy 1 vs 7). Brethren stop that act of timidity, arise today and act because without that you cannot be celebrated. You really need to act to achieved God’s purpose for you on the surface of the earth. And also you really need to have faith, faith that can move mountain. The Bible says “And without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrew 11 vs 6), strongly develop a genuine faith in Christ, so you can get to where he wants you in this life. Reposition your mind today, stop thinking negatively, because the Bible says “As a man thinketh, so is he”. Also change your habit towards your believe, change your hoard thinking to a wealthy one. Think big and always visualize yourself achieving that goal of yours. The only special thing in the extraordinary people is the way they think and use their mind. You can get there, you can achieve that thing and you can also achieve more than your mentor. Pray today that God should help your mind, so you can be able to think straight (John 14 vs 1). Read that bible verse and meditate on it. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/mindset/ |
| Religion / The East,the West,islamic Insurgency,terrorrism,and The World. by Dspiritcatalyst: 5:02am On Oct 04, 2012 |
So many people are ignorant of the mystery behind this world,There are so many problems and difficulties going on today.People are commiting all sorts of attrocities,Terrorism are evrywhere,religious fights,killings of innocent citizens,insecurities in so many advanced countries and the third world countries.Have you ever asked yourself why all this are happening?...Suicide bombings in the east,the 9 11 attack in the US,the Taliban and the alquaeda,the US drone attacks in pakistan and some middles eastern countries,the US hunt and killing of some top terrorist organization leaders,the burning of the Holy koran by the Us army and what happened as a result of that all over the world,the US film so many Islamic religious people think it,s an abuse on Prophet Mohammed and the killings and miserable acts that followed it. I,ve been asking my spirit since the first time I heard about terrorism and the act of the islamic insurgencies all over the world why are people like this?and I found a true answer to my long time questions in the Bible,in the book of Genesis.And believe me,all these problems and challenges on terrorism is destined and meant to be like that.And that is how it will be till the end of time.The west and the remaining people in the world will continue to fight against terrorism,and the people behind all act of terrorism will always strive to manifest there plans in destroying all those against them,because it is destined. It all started in the book of Genesis,when Abraham and His wife Sarah were waiting on the lord for the promised child.Sarah got frustrated in that process,so she gave her husband her egyptian maidservant(Hagar)to sleep with,so she can obtain children by her.(Gen 16:2-4).....The maidservant concieved,and sarah became despised in the maid,s eyes,Sarah dealt harshly with the maid,so she ran away.And it came to pass the angel of the lord found Hagar by a spring of water in the wilderness,by the spring of water on the way to shur and asked her where she have come from and where she is going?she explained all what happened to the angel,and the angel said she should return to her mistress and submit herself under her and the angel bless her and told her about the child she is carrying.He blessed the child and there,the act of terrorism,islamic insurgencies,and the hunt by the west and the rest of the world made manifest. 11.And the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael [God hears], because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction. 12.And he [Ishmael] will be as a [b]wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen.(Gen 16:11-12..AMP VERSION). And offcourse Ismael live to the east,and His brother Isaac is the forefathers of the people of Isreal and the west,and they are never in accord. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/the-eastthe-westislamic-insurgencyterrorrismand-the-world/ |
| Religion / The Easiest Way To Wealth. by Dspiritcatalyst: 9:43pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
Blessings is a thing of God, He gives it to any body He likes and I must be sincere with you that there is no Prayer of blessing, because blessings have to do with process. And during the process, we have so many prices to pay. Some people pay these prices in evil ways today, and it leads them to a restless life. Because Satan will never give you an original thing. He always gives away counterfeit to his victims. Therefore Jesus alone is the only person that can bless you with everything easily and also adding to it a rest of mind. Here on this page, I’ll share with you straight from the bible some people who provoked the blessing of the Lord with their attitudes. Lets first consider the case of King Solomon (2 Chronicles 1 vs 6 -12) in this Bible chapter, King Solomon gives to the Lord unusual sacrifice offering. He opened his treasury to the Lord who owns all treasuries of wealth and the Lord came down from Heaven at night to bless him. Many of us today mange our money with God, we sometimes even say the money we contributed in the church or any where we are asked to donate or sow seeds for the most high are for the Pastors or the servant of God, so we always draw back the most precious gift and drop the lesser one as offering. And we hope the blessings with this kind of offering? Let me tell you something, our Lord is not a beggar and if you give the Lord a beggar offering he will reject it, and the blessing that suppose to come to you will seized and go to the right person. Look at the life of King Solomon, and also think about his legacies till today, you will see that the blessings he provoked that day is still following his name. Please brethren, consider (2 cor. 9 vs 6) which says whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. And change your attitude towards giving to the Lord, so he can pour on you the rain of blessings. And again, punctuality matters a lot when we are talking about blessing. Consider what happened to the ten virgin in the Bible, the five who prepared for the received it, by entering into the banquet with the bridegroom. So brethren, always be watchful and punctual in the house of the Lord, because no one knows the time or hour that the Angel will show up to distribute Heavenly blessings. Study this aspect more with (proverb 10 vs 6). Always be punctual. Also you can provoke Heavenly blessings through your praise, consider the life of King David, you will see how our Lord can be easily moved by praise. Meditate on this more by reading (Psalm 67 vs 1 – 7). Sing ten songs now to provoke your long expected heavenly blessing. Finally, always give to the Lord with a good heart. If you’re reading this today, and you always feel reluctant to give to the Lord, read (2 Cor. 9 vs 7) to understand how the Lord feels about giving cheerfully and with a good heart. Let’s also consider the case of the widow in the book of (Mark 12 vs 42 -44) she gave all she had to the Lord with a cheerful and good heart, putting her faith in it and just look at the commendation of Jesus Christ about her. And another way of provoking blessings is by giving the Lord your first fruits. Have you ever heard of this? If yes, are you giving your first fruits to the Lord? And for you who are hearing it for the first time, I congratulate you. Because this tested and trusted act will give you a bountiful blessings also make the rest of your business and income remain prosperous. I came across this first fruits thing in the book of (Proverb 3 vs 9 – 10) and after that time, I began to do some research on it and I find out that giving God your first fruits means you’re dedicating your business and your gains to the owner of all treasuries. And you are inviting him to come and dominate your finances. It is the first harvest of your labour. It may be your first salary, your first gain in a business, or if you experience an increase in salary or gains, your first fruit is the difference between your first salary and the current. Brethren, honour your God with your first fruits today, so he can rain down on you abundant blessings from above. And if you’re owing the Almighty God first fruit offering, pay it today so you can enjoy the benefit that follows. And also enjoy his blessings on every little money you earn and also in your life. Brethren consider all the logics, and apply them to your life. And you will experience the provocation of the Heavenly blessings. Remember 1. Opening your treasury to the owner of the great treasury. 2. Always be punctual to the house of God. 3. Provoking God’s blessings with your praises. 4. Giving to the Almighty with a good heart. 5. Provoking God’s blessing by giving him your first fruits. As you do this, you will be blessed. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/ |
| Religion / Only Believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 5:46am On Sep 14, 2012 |
There seems to be an abundance of stony ground Christians these days.Initially,they get excited about the word of God.They will hear a message on prosperity,for instance,they will go home saying hallelujah! I,m going to prosper in the name of Jesus!but then,somehow,things don,t work out like they thought they should. Their bank balance dosen,t double overnight.They go through some disappointments.They suffer some criticism.Then,before you know it,their faith withered away. If you don,t want that to happen to you,make up your mind right now that you,re not going to let the tough times defeat you.Decide now that you,re going to hang onto the word even when the persecutions and affliction come-because,I can guarantee you,they will come.When you decide to walk by faith,you don,t get rid of trials.You learn to overcome them through prayers with the knowledge of the word.When you let the word of God get down into your heart,you,re going to learn more about the devil than you ever wanted to know because he,s going to do his best to see to it that the word is unfruitful in you.He is going to be trying to mess you up every time you turn around.You will have problems,but the difference is now you have the answer-The word of God and weapon of prayer. Thank God,however,through Christ Jesus you have the power to defeat Satan.When he brings problems and disappointments your way,you don,t have to lie down and let them steam roll over you. Just keep fighting the good fight of faith until you win.If you get knocked down,get back up and say,Look here,Devil,I,m not going to let you the word out of my heart.It,s in there and i,m meditating on it,I,m saying it with my mouth,and I,m acting on it until God,s blessings overtake me.If you don,t believe me,just hide and watch!..If you will take that attitude,no matter what the devil does,he will never make a stony ground Christian out of you!seize this opportunity to pray devil out of your ways and you will see how cheap he is…Shalom! http://thespiritcatalyst.com/ |

| Religion / On 9/11, How The Lord’s Prayer Saved John Mahony, A Retired U.S. Army Colonel by Dspiritcatalyst: 7:09am On Sep 12, 2012 |
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (RNS) For John Mahony, a retired U.S. Army colonel who was managing projects for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, instinct came before analysis as he fought to stay on his feet the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. “The building jerked hard, throwing everyone off balance,” remembers Mahony in the account he has written of surviving the 9/11 attacks. Mahony was working on the 19th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center that morning. “My support was gone, and I had to catch my balance to remain on my feet.” Mahony had lived in California. “Earthquake,” he thought, even as his military training diagnosed “bomb.” Mahony directed his co-workers to a stairway, checked the area for anyone else, and headed down through what was quickly a haze of smoke and dust. This was when his daily habit of saying the Lord’s Prayer bobbed to the surface of his mind, providing a grillwork of stability in the midst of the writhing building. “As I stepped into that smoky stairway, the Lord’s Prayer ran through my mind; over and over and over:’Thy will be done.’ At first, I could only get through part of the prayer. But after a few floors, prayer relaxed me and I was able to say it completely.” On what will always be the worst day of his life, Mahony also saw great generosity and courage around him. “For everyone who was having a hard time with hysterics, there were three or four who went out of their way to offer an arm, an encouraging word or a prayer.” Mahony has found that most people who ask him about that day keep wanting to find out about the tragedy, the chaos of it all. But his most enduring memory comes from the other side of that day. “There are thousands of stories from 9/11. Some are stories of pain and survival. Many are stories of heroism. Mine is a story of faith.” With hundreds of others, Mahony and his office mates trudged downstairs through the smoky air, grateful that the lights and ventilation remained on. When the fire sprinklers came on, they grabbed the handrails to keep from being swept off their feet from the waterfalls that ran down the steps. Firefighters, breathing hard, passed them going up. But out of the chaos, to the rhythm of the Lord’s Prayer, Mahony sensed something that reminded him of when his mother would wrap him up as he’d climb out of a cold swimming pool, and he would be held, safe and warm, in loving arms. “As I walked down that stair, somewhere between the 12th floor and the 10th, somewhere between’Our Father’ and’Thy will be done,’ that same feeling came over me. Suddenly, I was wrapped in warmth, and love, and comfort. In that smoky, wet stairway, in a burning building, surrounded by a thousand frightened people; I felt wonder. I felt God’s peace, and I knew that regardless of the physical outcome, everything would be all right.” The group came out into a smashed lobby, service elevator shafts open and filled with rubble. A firefighter directed him to a side door, saying that he couldn’t go out the front; people were jumping. “I moved through the rubble of the lobby vaguely registering impressions of a woman receiving oxygen, a heavyset woman crying as she was carried over the back of a co-worker, another who was so badly burned that I could not tell the original color of her skin.” Outside, he ran through a scene, he said, from a post-apocalyptic movie: cars on fire, chunks of metal and glass in the street, lots of shoes. He had just crossed the street to the far side when the sound of jet engines made him look up. The second jet collided with the second tower. “At first it didn’t look real. The building seemed to absorb the jet as if it were some macabre magic trick. Then the glass wall rippled and glass and jet fuel exploded outward and spilled down the side of the building.” Only after he had run a few blocks, getting away from the debris, did he turn to look again. “The dawning realization that a pilot could abandon those in his care and intentionally fly into a building suddenly hit me. It made me sick.” So did the hundreds of bodies falling through the air because people above the crash chose to jump. “Each new descending body emphasized how terrible the conditions were on the upper floors.” Then the first tower collapsed, sending a billow of ash out that seemed to embody evil. “I try not to ascribe human emotion to inanimate things, but the debris cloud seemed malevolent. It roiled with greenish brown smoky shadows deep within the white dust. And it was fast. It was warm, not as hot as a sauna, but close. It itched. Thousands of cement particles whose edges had not yet worn smooth went into my nose, eyes, and ears and down my shirt.” Mahony was trapped on the south side of the building, the tip of Manhattan at Battery Park. All he could do was watch and pray. “My prayers continued, but now with a difference. For the most part, I stayed with the Lord’s Prayer, but Jesus seemed so close, that I added specific prayers for those we passed. There was the overwhelming sense of the physical presence of Jesus. He was radiating that sense of love, compassion, and peace that I was feeling.” Despite the horror of that day, Mahony reached a deeper sense of the suffering, abiding compassion of Jesus, of the durability of the peace of God in the midst of death and destruction. It was only later that Mahony learned that the smoke he inhaled in the six hours before he managed to leave the area would leave him with health issues that will shorten his own life. In the years since the attacks, he realized he was also left with insights that have enriched every day of his life since the attacks. “When I walked from those ruined towers, I took two priceless gifts with me. First, I carry God’s peace with me every day. Even if I get distracted, Christ’s love is all around us. It takes just a few lines from a simple prayer for it to wrap itself around me once again. “Second, I know, with a certainty that my words cannot possibly convey, I know what will happen to me when I die. I will rise from this shell, like a child fresh and clean from a bath, and I will be wrapped in the warmth of His love and His forgiveness and His peace.” http://thespiritcatalyst.com/on-911-how-the-lords-prayer-saved-john-mahony-a-retired-u-s-army-colonel/ |

| Religion / Working On Yourself.......... by Dspiritcatalyst: 2:14am On Sep 08, 2012 |
Do you know you can move from being ordinary to extraordinary? Do you know the way your heart is fashioned can move you extraordinarily? Do you know you are capable of achieving greater things in life? Do you know every thing about you is of God? Do you know the Almighty God cherished you more than the Angels? Do you know any thing your heart conceive, believe, it can achieve? Do you know there is noting you can become on the surface of the earth that can be a threat to God? Do you know that people who knows their worth become extraordinary in life? This extraordinary thing started from the book of Genesis 1vs 27, when God created human being in his own image, and his likeness. If you’re reading this, I congratulate you, because you are on your step to becoming an extraordinary and a supernatural human being, because you are of God, and you are carrying the image of the most high, His heart is yours, his body is yours, And he has created you on the surface of the earth to rule over every thing he has created.

| Religion / A Letter To All Firstborns!!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 6:18am On Sep 06, 2012 |
Are you a first born in your house? First born are always the eldest and the rightful owner of their father’s birthright according to the ways of the Israelite in the Bible. They are suppose to be the richest and the most successful that their younger ones their will be looking unto. But unfortunately, it is not so in many cases based on one reason or the other. Some first born do not succeed in the Bible, and that makes it so hard for some first born today to succed in life. Look at the case of Cain and Abel (Gen 4 vs 1 -16). Because Cain was cursed by the Lord because of his act. And it continues like that to the times of Abraham. Abraham waited on the Lord for so long for the promised child, but he could not get it. And this frustrated Sarah his wife to the extent of giving him her maid servant to lay with, and Abraham agreed by sleeping with Hagar (Sarah’s maid servant) and after some time she conceived and gave birth to Ishmael making him the first germinated seed of Abraham, but acceptable unto the Lord, because Ishmael was not the promised child. But Sarah later gave birth to the expected and the promised child at her old age. And Hagar and her son Ishmael was sent away making Isaac the owner of Abraham’s birthright till today. And the story went like that to Esau and Jacob, also the first born here was not loved, and the lord programmed the younger to be stronger and flourished than the older (Gen. 25 vs 23). Look at the case of Mannaseh and Ephram, the sons of Joseph (Gen 48 vs 18-20), and when Jacob was about to die, he assembled all his 12 children and cursed Reuben his first born (Gen 49 vs 3) but blessed Joseph the second to the last (Gen. 49 vs 22 – 26). These references from the Bible will make as a first born knows that you have a great work to do. You have to be observant and careful about the way you live your life. See what happened to Cain and Reuben, they caused their own down fall themselves, although God knows about some cases here but nevertheless, you need to move closer to God if you are a first born, either male or female, so you can attract the favour and mercy of God to succeed. Because first born life’s are always full of struggles. (Exodus 33 vs 19). http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/?p=52 1 Like |
| Religion / Becoming Extraordinary!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 3:29am On Sep 06, 2012 |
Do you know you can move from being ordinary to extraordinary? Do you know the way your heart is fashioned can move you extraordinarily? Do you know you are capable of achieving greater things in life? Do you know every thing about you is of God? Do you know the Almighty God cherished you more than the Angels? Do you know any thing your heart conceive, believe, it can achieve? Do you know there is noting you can become on the surface of the earth that can be a threat to God? Do you know that people who knows their worth become extraordinary in life? This extraordinary thing started from the book of Genesis 1vs 27, when God created human being in his own image, and his likeness. If you’re reading this, I congratulate you, because you are on your step to becoming an extraordinary and a supernatural human being, because you are of God, and you are carrying the image of the most high, His heart is yours, his body is yours, And he has created you on the surface of the earth to rule over every thing he has created. (Genesis 1vs 26). Wake up from your slumber brethren and stand to inherit your inheritance. Because you can do so many things through him that created you. All you just need is to believe, so you can find your place on this surface of the heart. Have you been enjoying the benefits of carrying the God’s image? Do you think you are extraordinary?

| Literature / The Secrets Of Great Men!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 4:18pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
What do you do when everything seems to be going wrong?..How do you cope with unemployment, or bankruptcy,divorce,e.t.c?The first quality decision you need to make early in your circumstances or temporary set-back is not to give up on yourself or lose hope about future.There is still life after the juniper tree. It could be very comforting to realize that problems you are facing are not unique.Somebody somewhere has been in it before.The history of achievement is co loured with the image of men who either failed the first time around or many times over.American history will not be complete without the Great Emancipator,Abraham Lincoln.He was an embodiment of what victory over failure is.But he was a man who was ready to make his failure work for him. In 1831.Failed in business. In 1832.Defeated for state legislature. In 1833.Failed in business again. In 1834.Elected to state legislature.His dear wife died. In 1836.Had nervous breakdown. In 1838.Defeated for speaker of state legislature. In 1840.Defeated for elector. In 1843.Defeated for Congress. In 1846.Elected for Congress. In 1848.Defeated for Congress. In 1855.Defeated for Senate. In 1856.Defeated for Vice-president. In 1858.Defeated for Senate. In 1860.Elected President of the U.S.A. Lincoln had a catalog of failures but he did not remain defeated.As job sat on the rubble of what used to be his house surrounded by mediocre and miserable counselors,he had the option of either compromising or confessing power of his God.During the Korean war an American platoon was defeated,and when a journalist got to interview one of the soldiers on what they would do after such defeat,the soldier said give me tomorrow.There is nothing to fear,like fear itself. The apostle Paul said(For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice,or craven and cringing and fawning fear but(He has given us a spirit) of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and self control…2Timothy 1:7………..Stand up,look to your failure in the eye,and say you can,t overpower me because I,m born to succeed. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/?p=96 |
| Religion / Companions!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 1:02pm On Sep 03, 2012 |
1.Unwise association The bible says,He that walk with wise men shall be wise: but the companion of fools shall be destroyed. (Proverbs 13:20). Learn to avoid those who do not believe in your dream because those who cannot increase you will definitely decrease you.Dream killers will make your dream fall flat before you because of the way they talk.To avoid dream killers you must first learn to recognize any unwise association. In the New English Bible,1 Corinthians 15:33 reads make no mistake,bad company is the ruin of a good character. Anybody who is more critical than complimentary and encouraging is bad company.Those who belittle and laugh at your God-given dreams and goals are bad company.Those who steal your energy and time through useless talk are dream killers. Bartholomeus knew many people who had to commute to and from Jericho.To some he was a good signpost for describing the way to those who needed direction to the city. To some others he was a beggar whose ambition should not include seeing or gaining an audience with christ.(And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene,he began to cry out and say,Jesus son of David have mercy on me!…(mark 10:47). The crowd looked down on him and all they saw was a little man.They tried to kill his greatest ambition. To get what God has for you and to be the best is to be,you will have to avoid any company,friendship,and even christian circles which do not affirm your God-given dream. 2. Be selective. Remember that the same amount of time you waste on losers is that which could have been invested with winners.God taught Moses to wisely spend the rest of his life by transferring his spirit to others. (The lord therefore said to Moses,Gather for me seventy men from the elders of Israel,whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting,and let them take their stand there with you.then I will come down and speak with you there,and I will take off the spirit which is upon you,and will put him upon them,and they shall bear the burden of the people with you,so that you shall not bear it all alone.)…Numbers 11:16-17. Many people have hung around those who have only succeeded in ruining their faith and some have hung around those who have destroyed their confidence in other believers.If you hang around a man who has the spirit of gossip,you will soon manifest the same.If you are in the company of a person who likes to be strife you will soon be in strife. Moses had a fresh anointing which would benefit the children of Israel if he transferred it to the leaders under him…..What type of company do you keep?….Check! check! check!..Before it gets too late http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/?p=95 |
| Religion / Love And Sex!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 9:40pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Love and sex is a very good thing,but mysterious.And it,s like that because the feelings of both words are intangible,and I want to believe you know quite well that intangible things are powerful,because they operate in the spiritual realm,and the spiritual control the physical.The ignorance of the mystery behind love and sex by many people prompted me to write this article,so to share my knowledge about it,in other for us to utilize these two God given important things for a great development in Life. Sex to me is defined as a form of worship.It may not be thesame definition with that of oxford english dictionary or any other dictionary,but I strongly stand on my point about sex because God created a man,and His Idea for creating a man is to oversee and control all the available resources on the surface of the earth,anf finally worship Him till we die.If you really understand how a woman was created,you will believe with me that a woman and a man were created at thesame time,but the woman was no physical because she still dwells in the body of man.(Gen 1:27)but later the lord manifested his idea for creating both sex inside a single nature by saying “It is not good that a man should be alone,I will make him a helper comparable to Him”(Gen 2:18)and He did something to Adam in other to fulfill His word as a faithful God,and that thing brought about what will call a woman till today.(Gen 2:21-22)and immidiately Adam saw her,He confirmed it by saying “This is now bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh”she shall be called a woman,because she was taken out of a man”and if you read the subsequent verse,you will see that marriage within a man and a woman was confirmed,and sex was allowed without being done yet.(Gen 2:24)so sex is created by God and He knew quite well that it is important in a love relationship to worship Him because sex signifies the coming together of that single nature called Adam created by him as His image. Sex is meant for pleasure and procreation.It is very good,but when it is not controlled,it hurts,damages,and destroy.It,s judt like a fire,when in a controlled environment,we all know how useful it can be.But when a fire get out of hand and go weird,we all know how disastrous it can be.So thesame thing is applicable to sex.So many powerful people,in the old time and this generation have fallen because of their inability to controlled their sexual urge,and as a matter of fact no one is wise when it comes to sex.I will use the case of samson in the bible to establish my fact.He wasted His life and divine physical power because of His inability ton control Himself sexually.He fell for the trick of a woman because He was weak sexually.(Judges 14:1-18)(Judges 16:4-17)and if you read samson,s story carefully,you will agree with me that He fell many times before He finally died because he keep violating the rules of God over His life as a NAZARENE. And from here,I will love to discuss the word LOVE.Love is good and has it,s own benefits too,but it is dangerous if it,s with a wrong motive and in the wrong place.And the reason being that you can do crazy thing when you are in love and someone you lure into loving you can also act the same way.But the ugly side of love shows when one of the different parties in love has a wrong motive or unfaithful.And offcourse we know the damage an heartbreak can cause.So be careful of what you fall in love with,Be careful of the attraction you get in a woman or a man you fall in Love with.Does it has a good future and not baseless?A genuine love is the key to the blessings in a relationship,because LOVE always brought about sex,it is just that most of the LOVE we practice today are fake,in other words,lust.And it is dangerous,because it will keep downgrading the mighty extraordinary power the almighty GOD deposited in us as a human being.So be careful about the way you love and your sexual life,God is more interested in it.And believe me,it is vital in the development of the mind abd great power.And you know to are better than one, LOVE AND SEX is a complex thing to discuss and importand in the life of mankind.remember,self control matters most in it,and it,s the key to abundant life in life,but it,s dangerous when you are doing it with the wrong person,because everyone like Adam and Eve has his/her own better half.LOVE ANS SEX are intangible,and that is why one got carried away while in it…..Dear reader,will you now control your sexual urge and your thirst for love?………..Happy reading. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/?p=100 |
| Religion / A Divine Oil!!!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 2:32pm On Aug 16, 2012 |
We have 2 types of anointing, one is directly from the holy Spirit, while the other one is through an oil poured on someone by a person directed by the spirit to do so. To buttress my explanation on this precious word (Anointing), I will share with you from the Bible several people anointed, and how you as a Christian or someone who strongly believe in Christ can posses a great anointing of the Holy Spirit. Below are various people anointed Anointing of a high priest (Ex. 29:7, Lev. 8:12) Anointing of the prophet (1kings 19:16) Anointing of Kings (1 Sam. 9 vs 16, 16 vs 12, 2Sam 2 vs 4, 5 vs 3, 1 Kings 1 vs 39, 19 Anointing of the Sick (Isaiah 1:6, Luke 10 vs 34) Anointing of Jesus Christ (Psalm 45 vs 7, Isaiah 61 vs 1, Luke 4 vs 18, Hebrew 1 vs 9) If you go through the Bible verses, we highlighted above, you will see how various people were being anointed in different occasions. Brethren are you anointed? If yes how are you using your anointing? You can see in those Bible chapters that Jesus Christ was the only one anointed by the Holy Spirit. Do you need anointing, believe in Christ Jesus and possess your own. Although we have Priest, Pastors, Prophet, many men of God that have been assigned to work for the benefit of mankind but if they lack the anointing of the Holy Spirit through Jesus, they can never succeed. And that is why I urge you today to try and enter into this covenant of greatness by accepting Jesus as your savior and by doing according to his will because through him alone you can possess a great anointing from the Holy Spirit. And once you affirm that, you possess all the power to do and undo. The power to control everything on the surface of the earth. Because all this power have been given to Jesus Christ (Matthew 18 vs 18). But without accepting him you can never possess this power and again this anointing can make you rich and comfortable, because with Christ which is the owner of the anointing you possess, “all things are possible”. You have unlimited power when you possess anointing. If you believe so much in this anointing of the Holy Spirit, you will be anointed and singled out for the miraculous for the rest of your life. Go through the Bible verses discussed, ruminate on the word of God daily, move closer to him more, stop walking in sin, and you will be surprised how Jesus will bring out the extra in you, making you an extraordinary being. You have the potentials, just seek the anointing first. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/ |
| Religion / God Is So Efficient!!!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 3:35am On Aug 16, 2012 |
A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say “my king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!” One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked “Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger.” The slave replied: “My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!” Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices. On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released the King. Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately. He asked his slave, “my dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?” The slave answered, “my King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt.” Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don’t be in a rush. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong! You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because He never makes mistakes……. The path of God and his word are perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as He says in 2 Samuel 22: 31 What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart the desire to send it to someone. God knows why He choose you to receive this message. Please bless someone with it. God is never wrong! http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/ |
| Religion / Provoked For A Reason!!!!!! by Dspiritcatalyst: 9:48am On Aug 13, 2012 |
PROVOKED FOR A REASON-1 Samuel 17;48 David got to the battle field to supply refreshment for his brothers, suddenly the tormentor of Isreal got up from his camp to further harass the people of israel! Suddenly something got provoked in David and he enquired into ђã†̥ shall be done for the man who kills Goliath. The dimension of things that provoke you is a sign of the things you have been sent to proffer solution to. If it makes you angry, then find a solution to it. The depth of David's provocation was not in doubt,not even the reprimand of his elder brother couldn't stop him, it won't matter if he died, he was going to fulfill purpose nonetheless, if it makes you angry and you are doing nothing about it, you need to wake up! Bible said David even advanced towards Goliath,he ran towards him, your passion and anger should provoke you to the direction of your destiny! Go for it! www.thespiritcatalyst.com |

We can never have the enough time to do all what we aspired for,and there will never be.Great people don,t do everything,they focus on a particular task and they make sure it,s done.You are likely to become what you think about most of the time,so make sure you are thinking and talking about the things you want rather than the things you don,t want.Keep you mind positive by accepting total responsibility of all that happens to you. Refuse to criticize or blame anyone for for anything,resolve to progress rather than excuses.Keep your thought on anything you can do to improve your life and let go of the rest.See yourself as work in progress,set deadlines on every task and activity cling to the deadlines and even try to surpass it.

| Religion / The Eagle,s Uniqueness. by Dspiritcatalyst: 7:39am On Aug 03, 2012 |
Youths are undoubtedly a remarkable class of people having their strength as their trademark.But being strong is one thing while putting it to good use is another.For several youths,their very strength has led to their downfall.Just as a waterfall can be managed to electricity,it could as well flood a city and destroy lives and properties when unman aged. How do bright,talented,and savvy youths suddenly become caught up in a life of frustrations,drugs,sex,fraud,selfish ambition?Basically,they try to use their gifts and talents by their own wisdom to create a profitable life.But what happens?Their human energy is exhausted and they begin to fade out….The scripture recognizes this problem with the youths and reveals an interesting solution in the eagle,s life.(Isaiah 40:30-3)Any youth desiring to soar higher than his/her contemporaries must learn to wait upon God,to lean on,to trust in,to wait to be inspired,instructed and timely guided by God in the place of prayer and the word. The eagle is the only bird with the secret of renewal of life.An eagle can live up to 120 years.About every 40 years,the eagle will separates itself to a secluded place to hibernate.It plucks out her old feathers and allows new ones to grow.After such waiting and seclusion,it comes out looking much younger and stronger.In like manner,the youth who has learnt how to retreat and draw his/her strength from God,s presence will never fade out. God is not expecting that you will be strong for yourself.Actually,he knows your strength won,t last you long.He,s waiting for you to come collect the provisions he has made available to strengthen you as you go through life.So when are you going to separate yourself to seek His face…..He,s waiting on you,and calling you to come for a refuge in Him. http://thespiritcatalyst.com/wp/?p=58 |

DON,T BE A STONY GROUND There seems to be an abundance of stony ground Christians these days.Initially,they get excited about the word of God.They will hear a message on prosperity,for instance,they will go home saying hallelujah! I,m going to prosper in the name of Jesus!but then,somehow,things don,t work out like they thought they should.Their bank balance dosen,t double overnight.They go through some disappointments.They suffer some criticism.Then,before you know it,their faith withered away. If you don,t want that to happen to you,make up your mind right now that you,re not going to let the tough times defeat you.Decide now that you,re going to hang onto the word even when the persecutions and affliction come-because,I can guarantee you,they will come.When you decide to walk by faith,you don,t get rid of trials.You learn to overcome them through prayers with the knowledge of the word.When you let the word of God get down into your heart,you,re going to learn more about the devil than you ever wanted to know because he,s going to do his best to see to it that the word is unfruitful in you.He is going to be trying to mess you up every time you turn around.You will have problems,but the difference is now you have the answer-The word of God and weapon of prayer. Thank God,however,through Christ Jesus you have the power to defeat Satan.When he brings problems and disappointments your way,you don,t have to lie down and let them steam roll over you. Just keep fighting the good fight of faith until you win.If you get knocked down,get back up and say,Look here,Devil,I,m not going to let you the word out of my heart.It,s in there and i,m meditating on it,I,m saying it with my mouth,and I,m acting on it until God,s blessings overtake me.If you don,t believe me,just hide and watch!..If you will take that attitude,no matter what the devil does,he will never make a stony ground Christian out of you!seize this opportunity to pray devil out of your ways and you will see how cheap he is...Shalom! www.thespiritcalalyst.com |
| Religion / The Efficacy Of His Blood. by Dspiritcatalyst: 6:46am On May 06, 2012 |
One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God’s call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. www.thespiritcatalist.com It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor’s son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor’s son. The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting. As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor’s son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this: “My fiancee’s past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?” The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!! “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:23 There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let’s continue to pray for one another. Here is the prayer: “Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen 1 Like |
