Do do you know what it means to endure temptation? It is the same thing like enduring suffering or problem. When you are in financial needs, as student, as looking for job, as starting up a business, in mission field; you are enduring difficult time for a period of time till things change for better. You don't drop from school, you don't kill yourself or run away from what you are building. The same thing is applicable with enduring temptation. The Bible says, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him" James 1:12.

There is a period of time you must endure some temptations, that the temptations will last. The Bible says Jesus Christ was tempted for 40 days, nothing could stop the temptation until its period of 40 days expired. The same is applicable to all children of God in the journey to heaven. Temptations within or without, may not stop until its time expires.

It may be temptation within, sinful suggestions in form of thoughts, lustful suggestion, imaginations to commit sin, internal pressure of sin; it maybe sinful thoughts that repeatedly coming to your mind and the more you pray and resist it, the more it persists. What really matters is not to delete the thoughts, but you keep resisting and you DON'T YIELD. It will die a natural death when its time expires as long you don't give in.

Persisted sinful thoughts, notions and imaginations are temptations within, it is not because you are not saved, but because Satan is after your salvation. You don't need to trouble yourself why such thoughts persist, you only need to keep resisting them in prayer by casting them down from your mind. "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10:5. You can read from verse 3.

It may also be external temptations, from people or situations around, to yield to sinful demands or indulgences. There are some situations where you may need to run away or walk away from the situation causing the temptation. But some times, just need to endure the temptation. That is where enduring temptations comes in. The Bible says, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation"

To endure temptations, either internally or externally, is to be constantly faced with such imaginations, suggestions, pressures, urge, demands or even threats to yield or commit sin but without yielding or giving in for it.

Now, here is the truth, this pressure or temptation for the particular sin maybe coming every day, it may be apportioned for few months, and no matter how much you pray, the thought or pressure may not stop. What you need to be praying for daily is grace and the Blood of Jesus to purify your heart, and as long you don’t give in, it will soon fade away and you overcome. That is the truth about temptation or even addicted sins.

After enduring the temptation, the Bible now says, "..for when he has been approved" It means when we repeatedly refuse, reject the temptation to the end, then we will receive the blessing of the blessedness of enduring temptations.

"Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him" James 1:12.

We receive the grace and strength to endure temptations to the end in Jesus name. Amen

Your religion, your toiling, your self discipline and good work can not give you access to God Almighty; they cannot save you. You need genuine salvation in Jesus Christ who died for you and rose for you; you need to accept Him as the Lord of your life

There is audio message going viral on whatsapp from a man living in UK, who claim to expose some hidden secrets about corona virus and 5 G network.

While I don't know how false or true his claims on 5G/Corona virus are but I know some errors and heresies he has subtly injected into his claims which I want to warn children of God to beware of it:

1, he said you can continue to sin until 2022 and after 2023 no more forgiveness. That is high level biblical heresy. When you are a child of God, you don't continue sin, and no one knows when Jesus will come, He can come now or before 2022, so if he says you can continue sin till 2022 but rapture takes place before then or people die during that time, what will happen to their eternity?

2, he said at the 0:54 play of the clip that "I swear with almighty God" brethren, Bible warns us not to swear with anything let alone with Almighty God. And this person claimed that God is using him right now.

So, with all his care and claims on corona virus and 5G, you are not to share or forward this audio message to others because of the heresies in his message, so you don't partake in spreading heresy in the name of exposing new world order.

God bless you and help us all till the end.

When I read people saying, "please stay safe" "I hope you stay safe" And I can tell you if Corona virus is spreading as it is said, it is humanly impossible for anyone to stay except those God saves. Think about it, you stay at home from morning till evening and you needed to get fruits, bread or even drug at the store, here is what I observe:

The fruit or bread you are buying is not sanitized before you collect it and put in your car, the fruit seller didn't sanitize. Even somebody else might have touched the bread or others at the
store before you picked it, and you dip your hands to the pocket to take your card or cash.

Even with your hand sanitizer, when you touch something else, including your clothes or car before you sanitize your hands, those things are infected.

So how safe are you without the protection of God?
While we must follow all the safety precautions at this period, we must put our hope and trust in God as our ultimate and sure protection. Only in Jesus is safety and salvation!

One of the good thing that comes from this corona virus period is the opportunity it poses for necessary, delayed confession. Confession here in form of restitution of what you have been hiding from your wife, your husband, your parents, your office, your school, your church, your partner, your employer or employee; something wrong you did and you are covering it, hiding it which you don’t want the necessary people in your life to know, what you OUGHT to have made them know about your past, yet you don’t have rest of mind about it, you are worried about it, you know what? God has specially designed this corona virus period for you to make the confession and put the devil to open shame.

Many people believe, and yes it is true, that this corona virus period is close to the end time, and it may lead to the rapture of the saints. Now, let me ask, how you meet the Lord or face the rapture with that thing you are hiding and covering and you have refused to confessed? How will you make the rapture in such a situation?

Now, it may be that because you have been busy, now everyone has a break, so this is the best and maybe last chance for you to make the confession.

You are afraid of how the person or people will react, you know what? This is a sober period, everyone is sober, people are more ready to forgive this period than ever, because many are seeking for God’s mercy now. So this is the best time for you to confess.

Some people say you don’t need to confess to anyone but God, if it is so, then why are you hiding it, why are you not have rest of mind about it? Why are you afraid of letting the person or people you ought to confess to know about the matter? If God has forgiven you and no need to confess to your spouse, your church, pastor, company, school, etc. then why are you afraid if they should know? Why is your conscience disturbing you still?

The wrong and deceptive notion that you confess to God alone and Him will not help you when you have the word of God clearly written that “Confess your trespasses to one another” James 5:16

Beloved, it will be very very woeful for you to miss the rapture because of unsettled, unconfessed restitution even after you have the free corona time. Do not regret when it is too late.

“Confess your trespasses to one another” James 5:16

God bless you.

If you want to surrender or rededicate your life to Jesus, please click on this link, read and pray as directed https://web.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252/?__tn__=HH-R

1 Samuel 12:3, “Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”

Any church that does not believe and repeatedly teach restitution is either a church of Satan or a Satanic manipulated church.

Restitution is as a must just as wearing cloths after taking bath is a must. There is no way any church or minister can logically or biblically discredit the importance of restitution after salvation as a must.

If there were no restitution after salvation, it means one would continue dwelling in old sin in the new life of Christ at the same time. It’s like moving forward and backward at the same time, that seems stupid, and so also it is spiritually stupid to ignore call for restitution after new life in Jesus Christ.

Restitution is a confirmation of your salvation in Christ Jesus, without restitution your salvation is unprocessed.

How Important Is Restitution After Salvation?
If a man abandons his wife with children and moves with a strange woman, after he is saved in Christ, is he not going to detach himself from the strange woman and move back to his family? If your neighbor steals your phone, and you know but just keep quiet, and later the neighbor becomes saved in Jesus and comes to preach to you while still using the phone he steals from you, are you going to accept his faith as genuine? If after you retired at the age of 60, and you use your retirement money to buy a land, then a dubious man with his influence, displaces you of your piece of land and claims it for himself, then later he become born again and still claim your land for himself, will you believe his salvation in Christ to be real? So is important for restitution after salvation or else your proclaimed salvation becomes a source of ridicule.

While You Need To Do Restitution After God Has Forgiven You
Some Christian ministers preach it and many Christian also say it that, “Why do I have to do restitution after God has forgiven me? If God has forgiven me then there is no condemnation and no need for restitution” The simple question to ask such people is which one has God forgiven you? For example, when you lied about your age, your state of origin or about any of your personal data, and now you’ve given your life to Jesus Christ and you confessed to Jesus, but you refuse to correct your past lies through restitution, and so in your present life in Jesus you continue to tell the lies, every time you continue to fill form with lies in your school, workplace, etc. you continue to lie to your spouse, partner, boss, or people generally by repeating the lies you formed in your old life or by agreeing with the lies you said in the past by keeping silent. Now since you claim God has forgiven you, which one has God forgiven you, the lies of the past or the ones you are willfully repeating now?

If Satan is deceiving these preachers and people of modern day Christianity without cross, you better not deceive yourself.

It is better to go to heaven from prison than to go to hell fire from palace, so don’t be afraid of doing the restitution after you are saved, what comes may.

You remember the video clip of the Ethiopian Airline that crash landed... ☹
I deleted everything picture and video that would remind me of the ugly incident but when I read what a Sister posted to me I realised there is a message behind all that happened. Please, read.

Since the news of the Ethiopian crash, I activated my defense mechanism by not allowing the news sink and overwhelm me. People kept forwarding the video of the last minutes of the victims in the Plane to me, I kept deleting it because I didn't want to absorb the news.
Then yesterday, while I was driving to work, I was enjoying one of my favorite gospel songs playing on my car stereo, boom! it hit me. God spoke audibly and said, "Have you thought about the Ethiopian crash?' I responded audibly too as if talking to some one riding with me, I said I don't want to think or talk about it.
"You have to", the voice said.
Then I said Father, you knew it will happen, yet you allowed it, Father they were crying and calling on you for help, Daddy you did not respond. Daddy, the young, the old were there, even the unborn, but Daddy you chose not to answer. I dont understand.
He said to me, "I said I will come like a thief; when people are not expecting me. But you people choose to ignore my warning. All flesh shall die; the righteous and the unrighteous, the young and the old. After that they will answer to me. How I call people home is immaterial, just be prepared".
He said, "what I say to you I say to all, you better be prepared, and tell my children to be prepared to meet with me, live every minute as if it would be the last. It took only 6 minutes for me to call 157 people back, it won't take me one minute to call the whole world back if I choose. Stop your procrastination, Stop chasing shadows, stop running after vanity.

Inside that aircraft those people would have been very ready to trade all they have to stay alive. At that point in time it did not matter to them anymore. You mortals, quit acting like you are in charge. I, God of all flesh I am in charge and I do what I please".
This is an awakening call, to all believers to hold on strongly to their salvation. Stop the spiritual carelessness, and to those yet to accept the gift of salvation, do it NOW, the next minute is not quarrantteed. If anyone in that plane was unsaved, in the confusion he/she will not remember to make peace with God before the bang that took them all away. That bang could be for anybody anytime. Theirs was Sunday morning through that ill fated crash; now they are answering to their maker. The time is NOW, be ready incase the master calls.That's what God said to tell His people.
God help and preserve us all. Amen.

....in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. Romans 2:16.

A sin you committed before you gave your life to Jesus, or before you rededicated your life to Jesus, though you have repented and confessed it to God, and you have stopped it, but you are keeping it secret from men. Secret sin is a sin you keep secret, even if it is in the past, even if it has stopped, but as long you keep it secret from some necessary people you ought to share it with, it is a secret sin - though it is in the past but it is presently haunting you and standing against you. As long you keep a past sin secret, what you are actually doing is that you are making it fresh and present.

Until you open up every secret sin of the past to the necessary people, until you confess to the necessary people and put the sin and Satan to open shame, you are still under the bondage of that past sin. After you are saved, you committed sin and you rededicated your life to Jesus, then you will still have to open up to some people. For example, a premarital sex, but you both have repented and now married, yet, you need to confess.

Listen to what Apostle Paul said, "But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2.

From this above Bible verse, Paul did three things which every child of God must do:

1, He renounced the hidden things - those sinful and sinful things of the past were repented and rejected by Paul.

2, He manifested that truth by making it clear to men, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience." This is by confessing to the necessary people about the sinful and shameful things we did in the past, though we have renounced them, but we must make them clear to the right people. Many Christians are being deceived by Satan that, since they have confessed to God, no need to confess to their parents, partner, pastor, or boss; they say, "I have confessed and stopped it, so I have a pure conscience before God, and that is all." Beloved, having a pure conscience before God is good, but not enough, you need to have a pure conscience before men too. Paul said, "But by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience".

3, He manifested that truth to God, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." He totally repented and never gone back to such sins again, even when no man would see him, even when men would say it does not matter or it is not bad. Paul said he is now commending himself to every man's conscience in the sight of God. He knew God saw everything, and he lived in truth before God according to God's standard, not church's standard.

Until you make clear the past before God and men, your past sins are still presently fresh.

Luke 17:35, "Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

If you miss your booked flight at the Airport, you can wait for another flight, but there is a flight you must not miss, because it will happen once, that is the flight of the rapture to heaven, it is called the catching away of the saints by Jesus. This rapture will happen within seconds when the angels of God will blow the trumpet…in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound. 1 Corinthians 15:52.

There will be sudden disappearance of Christians who have experienced genuine salvation, who have opened up their secret sins, settled needed restitution and living in holiness and righteousness from the blemishes of the world till the seconds of the rapture. Many people will be left behind throughout the world, many Christians will be left behind also, why? Because they are not well prepared. The left behind at the flight of the rapture will be left to blight of the Anti-Christ and eternal doom; that will be devastating and destructive occurrence which never happens since the beginning of the world. This unprecedented occurrence can happen any seconds from now without any warning or feeling of awareness.

If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord, you are at the danger of being left behind to the mercy of Satan, If you are postponing your salvation, you are in serious danger; you need to surrender your life to Jesus now.

If you are a Christian and toiling with sins, rising and falling, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus totally now! If you have been saved, serving God but there are some little worldliness in your lifestyles or unconfesed sin, or inconsistency in your Bible reading, prayer life, Christian life, or unforgiving people you have ignored, or unsettled restitution, you may also be among the left behind group, you need to surrender and settle all now. It may happen right when you are angry or getting involved in something sinful, and that is the end.

You need to totally surrender all, every area of your life to Jesus and at all time, because the rapture will happen within seconds and there will not be second chance for another rapture.

Many Senior pastors and big ministers of God will be left behind, many church leaders, workers and many Christians will be left behind, and all unbelievers will be dazed, at last, it will happen!

If at the moment you are reading this message rapture has not happened, then you have the choice to make the rapture. Without delay, you need to surrender all to Jesus, if you are a believer, you need to check your life and surrender all, no sin is too small to hold you down not to make the rapture, even if your big pastors do not oppose it, even if you have reasons to support yourself, even if everybody is doing it. Don't be fooled, don't be arrogant or defensive at this time, just surrender all to Jesus, because He is coming any moment from now. You must leave behind your sins, sinful partners, materials and gains so that you will not be left behind.

You have a choice: leave all behind for Jesus now, let the people and world leave you behind or you are left behind at the rapture?

Matthew 25:13, ““Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

Do you know what it mean?

You know the word of God says "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" That is in 2 Peter 3:8.

A thousand years in heaven is like a day, because of so much glorious, glittering, gorgeous, dazzling, magnificent, sumptuous, spectacular, resplendent, opulent, luxurious, palatial, deluxe, rich, expensive, lavish, ornate, elegant, handsome, beautiful, stately, majestic, kingly, princely, regal, lovely, delightful, amazing and fantastic CELEBRATION and ENJOYMENT all day, and its environment!

Also a day in hell is like a thousand years because of so much dreadful, horrifying, horrific, horrendous, frightful, fearful, awful, terrible, shocking, appalling, hideous, grim, grisly, ghastly, harrowing, gruesome, heinous, vile, nightmarish, macabre, unspeakable, hair-raising, spine-chilling; loathsome, monstrous, abhorrent, detestable, hateful, execrable, abominable, atrocious, sickening and nauseating AGONY and SUFFERING all day long, and its environment!

So you can see that there is nothing too much we can do for heaven's sake and there is nothing too much we can forbear or forgo for the sake of escaping hell.

Your decision and lifestyle today determine your eternal destiny. Please, let's do everything possible to make heaven and escape eternal condemnation!

Matthew 5:30, "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell."

"But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!" Matthew 24:19. It means Christians who are pregnant with another human being in their heart, harboring people in their minds, holding people in their mind without forgiveness, these people are pregnant with un-forgiveness and malice. And those nursing babies are those nursing bitterness, envy, jealousy or bitterness.

No matter your Christian life and commitment and devotion, if you are pregnant with un-forgiveness, no matter how badly you are offended; if you are still nursing bitterness against a person, group of people, organization or a church or anyone who unlawfully pathed away from your business or ministry, or seriously offended your family or anyone who cheated you in past marital or business, or even ministerial relationships; brethren, we need to forgive and stop wishing them evil.

Let’s release people from the prison and pregnancy of our hearts, we need to search our hearts and lives, and let’s go of any harboring or nursing bitterness so that this will not hinder God’s blessings and promises in our lives and ministries and so that we will not miss heaven after all our efforts in the vineyard of God.

Say this prayer with all your heart:
Lord Jesus, I am so sorry for harboring people in the prison and pregnancy of my heart, I’m so sorry for nor forgiving the persons, for not letting go, I’m so sorry for nursing bitterness and evil wish against people because of disagreement, offense or evil they did to me. Today Lord, I forgive, I release and I let go, I commit judgment into Your hands. Please Lord forgive them. Thank You Lord for Your mercies over me. Amen!

Remain blessed in God’s mercies and love!

LET HIM HOLD YOUR HAND

My 2 years old son, Judah, always likes to go out with me, sometimes when we are walking on the road together I would like to hold his hand. Not that he can’t walk by himself, but when there are stones on the road, when the road is slippery, when it is night and no light, and also most time he is easily distracted and may not face the road and so stumble and fall. But when I hold his hand tight, it prevents him from falling even if there are stumbling stones, slippery road or if he gets a bit distracted, he may stumble but not fall because I hold his hand.

Sometimes, Judah usually wants to exercise his own freedom, removes his hand from my hand and want to walk by himself, not just beside me but ahead of me, but when I look in front of him and see any stumbling item, I warn, “Hey, you will fall” then he would stop.

Many times, we children of God want to exercise our freedom from God, thinking we are mature enough to walk by ourselves, to decide by ourselves, to choose by ourselves, comparing ourselves with the people of the world. Sometimes we feel the counsel, control and commitment unto God are like bondage, but we need to know that, on the other side, freedom without control is the worst bondage. You see the people of the world; they live as they like without control and so they fall without control. They don’t need to pray or seek God’s will before they do anything, they choose what is right for them, and when they stumble and fall into regret and sorrow, do you envy them?

In this journey of life, there are many stumbling blocks on the road, the road is slippery and muddy, and as human being as we are, we can be easily distracted or lose focus, but when we surrender our hands to God to hold and lead us, we will be secured and saved from stumbling or falling.

In this end time, perilous time, it is not just following Jesus from distance that guarantee safety, security and real success in life, but following Him closely and to let Him hold your right hand to guide and lead you every step and in every seconds of your life. Do not follow the wisdom of the world, do not follow your own wisdom, but follow Him and led Him lead to the end in your spiritual life, daily living, marital life, career decision, ministry, business, etc.

He has promised to lead us only if we surrender to Him!

“Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.” Psalm 139:10

“For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’” Isaiah 41:13

“I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And willhold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles” Isaiah 42:6

What is the shame of Hell? Well, friend, the shame of Hell is the fact that, if you go there, you will eventually come to grips with one unforgettable truth: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO! Imagine that! Imagine spending ETERNITY with that on your mind! Imagine being in Hell for a million years and then thinking, "I didn't have to come here! I could have received Christ! Oh, what a fool I was! If only I had not been so stubborn! If...if...if...!" That's the shame of Hell: going there when you DON'T HAVE TO GO!People accuse God of being unfair in sending sinners to Hell.

Listen, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO! The decision is YOUR'S, not God's. God made His decision 2000 years ago when He gave His Only Begotten Son to die as a payment for your sins. If you go to Hell, you will go AGAINST God's will, because God wants you to REPENT and trust Christ to save you ( II ‪‎Peter‬ 3:9). How about it? Will you turn from your sins right now and trust Christ to save you? Remember, it's YOUR decision.

I Corinthians 9:27, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection"

After you are saved, even for many years, Satan will still bring sinful thoughts, feelings, ideas, and pressure; your unsaved body will want to over ride the Spirit of God. The addicted sin to smoke, drink, masturbate, etc; the pressure for sinful pleasures will come back in an overwhelming manner; the tendency to get angry, lie, drink, fight, or to do other sinful stuffs will come back; the people with sinful activities will still come back to you. Sometime the pressure will be so heavy as if you can't survive it. Satan will say, "Look, don't pretend, this thing is part of you and your salvation in Jesus can't stop it. You can't stop doing this thing, even if you don't do it now, what about tomorrow, next week, and next month? Just give in and God will understand."

My dear, that is the deception of pit of hell to make you feel helpless as if you can't overcome sin. When next the pressure to commit sin comes again, you know what to do? DON'T GIVE IN! The pressure and the feeling will not last, it will vanish. And you know what? Every victory over a temptation to sin gives you strength to overcome the next one, and you become stronger, but every falling into temptation makes you weaker to overcome another one. Solution is not to surrender to such sinful pressure once or again, the solution is to hold it, never give in.

Paul the Apostle, after many years of salvation, said, "I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" 1 Corinthians 9:27. It is a continuous thing as Satan continuously brings temptations.

Your salvation in Christ does not automatically end the notions and temptations of sin within or without, it only gives grace and strength to overcome, and that's what makes difference between a sinner and a saved person - overcoming sinful notions within and temptations without by the grace of God and strength of Holy Spirit. And we can only get the grace and strength by daily Bible reading, prayer for God's grace and daily watchfulness to walk in the Spirit.

Genuine Salvation is the foundation to overcome sin and Satan, DAILY grace of God through prayer and Bible is the strength, and watchfulness, self control that is self discipline to refuse, reject and deny is the solution!

Titus 2:11, 12

I Corinthians 9:27, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection"

After you are saved, even for many years, Satan will still bring sinful thoughts, feelings, ideas, and pressure; your unsaved body will want to over ride the Spirit of God. The addicted sin to smoke, drink, masturbate, etc; the pressure for sinful pleasures will come back in an overwhelming manner; the tendency to get angry, lie, drink, fight, or to do other sinful stuffs will come back; the people with sinful activities will still come back to you. Sometime the pressure will be so heavy as if you can't survive it. Satan will say, "Look, don't pretend, this thing is part of you and your salvation in Jesus can't stop it. You can't stop doing this thing, even if you don't do it now, what about tomorrow, next week, and next month? Just give in and God will understand."

My dear, that is the deception of pit of hell to make you feel helpless as if you can't overcome sin. When next the pressure to commit sin comes again, you know what to do? DON'T GIVE IN! The pressure and the feeling will not last, it will vanish. And you know what? Every victory over a temptation to sin gives you strength to overcome the next one, and you become stronger, but every falling into temptation makes you weaker to overcome another one. Solution is not to surrender to such sinful pressure once or again, the solution is to hold it, never give in.

Paul the Apostle, after many years of salvation, said, "I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" 1 Corinthians 9:27. It is a continuous thing as Satan continuously brings temptations.

Your salvation in Christ does not automatically end the notions and temptations of sin within or without, it only gives grace and strength to overcome, and that's what makes difference between a sinner and a saved person - overcoming sinful notions within and temptations without by the grace of God and strength of Holy Spirit. And we can only get the grace and strength by daily Bible reading, prayer for God's grace and daily watchfulness to walk in the Spirit.

Genuine Salvation is the foundation to overcome sin and Satan, DAILY grace of God through prayer and Bible is the strength, and watchfulness, self control that is self discipline to refuse, reject and deny is the solution!

Titus 2:11, 12
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.

"...lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls." Hebrews 12:3

A man was shown vision about the weapons of Satan, and he saw a particular weapon that has been over-used; he asked what was special about the weapon and also its name, and he was told the weapon was discouragement, that when other weapons against Christians fail, discouragement hardly fails.

If you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ and determined to serve Him forever and you are getting involved in the work of God to turn others to righteousness in Jesus, Satan will try to discourage you in order to destroy you. Discouragement is a destructive weapon of Satan that deflates spiritual strength and zeal, and makes a Christian becomes spiritually dry. When life gets tough and situations turn worst; as you pray, search your life and put faith in action, yet things do not get better. Then you begin to ask why? why will God allow this to happen to you? Why?

Disturbed But Not Discouraged
Since Christian life is a narrow way and life generally is ups and downs, as a child of God, you can be disturbed but you should not allow discouragement. When you are disturbed by anything, take it to God in prayer and simply trust Him; it's hard but that is the only means to be happy in Jesus, and not by siting in the dangerous valley of discouragement.

Believers in the Bible were disturbed: Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah and others. They were disturbed at one point on the other, but instead of being discouraged, they turned to God with their disturbing hearts. At a point, John the baptist was seriously disturbed, you know what he did? He didn't depart from Jesus but he turned to Jesus with his disturbing mind. Jesus was disturbed at a point on His way to the Cross but He poured His disturbing mind to God, and He is now in heaven praying for us, because He has been through such difficult situations we are going through now.

When you are disturbed, Satan will want you to be discouraged, to stop praying so you can be his prey; to stop reading the Word of God so you can be weak, he will want you to be weary of working for God. Satan will want to dissuade you from trusting God and living a righteous life so that he can destroy your destiny. When you find it hard to pray, to read Bible, to do God's work because of situation around, then discouragement is setting in, you should beware. Discouragement is a shadow of spiritual destruction, it leads to weakness, weariness and compromising into sin, since "God doesn't care" That is satanic deception.

We should not allow present situations to discourage us from serving and trusting God, no matter how hard, or what shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? We should discuss our disturbing situations with God and trust Him that He is working everything for our good at the end, we should not be discouraged into Satan's hands.

When I was typing this article, I was passing through one of the toughest time in my life, and as God has encouraged me to move on, I find it necessary to encourage you also, in case you find yourself in unpleasant circumstances now or later; don't be discouraged, don't be distracted, don't doubt, don't compromise your faith and righteous living; don't turn from serving God, because it will soon turn to testimony.

James 5:10, 11
"My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful."

Judges 17:1-2. Now there was a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 2 And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears—here is the silver with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “May you be blessed by the Lord, my son!

Restitution is so important after Salvation that it has to be done immediately one is genuinely saved. Salvation without restitution is half freedom and unconfirmed salvation.

The center of restitution is confession to men as the Bible commands us to confess to one another, James 5:16, but in a larger and clearer sense, restitution is restoring things wrongly acquired in old life, returning wrongly taken or borrowed in the past; revealing lies, faked, falsified, fraudulent information and documents of past; reconciling with people we offended by apologizing and people who offended us by FORGIVING them; lastly it is also repaying debts we owed in the past which we refused to pay or forgot to pay. By reality, every believer has at least one or two aspects of restitution to be involved with.

There are many blessings that follow after restitution is done, here are few of them:

Peace with Men
In our past old life, we wronged God and men, when we are saved, we make peace with God and so we must complete the process of peacemaking with people. People we fought, offended, harmed before we were saved must be contacted and apologized to, as much as possible. People we had rancor, malice and animosity with must be settled with, even if we think they wronged us, even if we have decided not to greet them again, yet we must make peace with them for the sake of peace and to remove the bitterness, malice and others so that we don’t give room to the devil in our new lives in Christ. “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” Romans 12:18

People you are living with, working with, schooling with; family members, friends and neighbors, every one we had issues with, as much as we can, we should settle peacefully with them.

When we make peace with all men, both right and wrong, it confirms our peace with God, it gives us peace and it’s the only way to see God, to enter heaven. “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord” Hebrews 12:14. When we settle with people peacefully, it shows we are truly children of God the King of Peace; Jesus the Prince of Peace and we, the children of peace. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Matthew 5:9.

It Settles Old Accounts
Restitution is to settle our old accounts and close them. If you are saved and you have not made some past wrongs right by restitution, it simply means you keep your old account open which may stand against you here on earth and eventually disallow you to enter heaven. Undone restitution has the capacity to block God’s blessing in your life here on earth and block you from entering Heaven. The old records which stand against you can only be settled and closed by restitution. “Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” Colossians 2:14.

It confirms your new life in Jesus Christ
In different online and phone transaction, after you have sent your desired transaction, you will be asked to confirm your transaction. If you fail to “just” confirm, thinking since you have filled all the forms, supplied all the needed information and it has been sent and accepted, you feel confirming again is of no use, your transaction will be invalid and will not be processed. The same is in reality with restitution. After you have repented and confessed your sin to God and He has forgiven, cleansed and accepted you, you need to respond back to confirm your salvation by restitution. Think about it, if I were your neighbor and I stole your stuffs in past and using them. You knew and just kept quiet, then later I got saved and come to preach to you and still using what I stole from you, how will you feel?

It turns curses to blessings
Many curses in life are caused by wrong things that was done in past, and many problems facing children of God after they have been saved are not because the enemies are powerful over their lives in Christ but because they allow the old curses to have access to their new lives because of ignoring necessary restitutions they need to do. Undone restitution allows the unsettled wrong of your past to haunt your present life even though you are now a child of God. You give access to Satan, enemies, generational curses and many attacks when you refuse to do needed restitution. This can also block the free flow of God’s blessing, progress and God’s promises for your life. Undone restitution gives Satan ground to accuse you and oppose you in the present of God. Most of the problems making us to do fasting, special prayers, deliverances and attend several programs and the problems remain the same; those problems can be solved if we do simple acts of apologizing, forgiving or do any necessary restitutions as the case may be, and that will end the mountainous problems, and that begins the progress and prosperity in your life, marriage and ministry. “And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears—here is the silver with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “May you be blessed by the Lord, my son!” Judges 17:2

It Gives Blessed Assurance
When restitution is settled, you have peace, you have more confidence in the Lord and you have assurance of heaven. Satan will not have anything holding against you and you have that strong boldness in your prayer. Here is what the Word of God says, “And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” 1 John 3:19-22.

Your personal relationship with God is more important than anything. You will be wise to care for your eternal soul more than your temporal business, job, or whatever. Because you can survive if all those things are taken from you, but one things is very important that should not be taken away from you, and that is your personal relationship with God for eternal life.

Luke 10:41, 42, “And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Whatever our professions, our positions, or our places, what we must daily put as priority is our personal time with God before anything. No matter how busy the schedule or situation, do not be distracted from your daily reading of God’s word and good time to pray. A day you rush out without time with God is a distracted day which can lead to spiritual destruction.

Remember what the Bible says in the book of James? All good things come from God. So where does the devil get the things he gives to his people? Some people who cannot have children, they go to witch doctors and satanists, and they get pregnant! Who gave them that baby? Is Satan a creator? NO! Satan steals from those who don't pray to the end. Jesus said, "Pray without ceasing." And then He said, "But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?" Will He find you still there waiting? Or will you have given up and the enemy would steal what you have prayed for?

Martha was so busy serving that she did not have time to learn at the feet of Jesus. If you are a worker or minister of God in your church or anywhere, and you are so busy with different programs, preparations and meetings that you don’t have good time for personal Bible reading, Bible Study and good time to pray, because many things are in your care, and many people are waiting for you, it means you are distracted and not devoted. It is of necessity to build yourself up daily in the Lord with good time for personal Bible Study and prayer, before you can build others in the kingdom of God. The day you get so busy that you skip your personal devotional time in order to serve, is a day of distraction from God, even if people are blessed mightily in your ministration or serving.

LUKE 16:25, "But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented."
It's not wrong for us to have good things on earth, because good things are good as long it is godly. But the “good things” the rich man in the Bible received were the gain of unrighteousness which made him rich, and “evil things” Lazarus received were the persecutions and forbearance for righteousness and for the sake of righteousness.
It’s possible for you to be rich through unrighteous means and enjoy your life till you die, just like many people today who are forgoing and forgetting righteousness for the sake of riches, positions, power, and popularity. But what will it profits a man if he gains the world and loses his soul? The riches, wealth, opportunities, jobs, contracts, allowances, money, properties, certificates, visas, business connections, positions, votes, positions, profits that you gain through unrighteous means (lying, falsification, malpractices, stealing, bribing, cheating, etc ) are the good things which you received in your lifetime that will qualify you for eternal destruction, to hell at the end of your lifetime on earth.
Any good thing you get through a bad means will make you groan in eternity like the rich man. The good things which you gained through unrighteous means and made you rich in your lifetime will create your eternal doom and suffering after your lifetime is expired on earth.
You can gain a lot of riches and many good things on earth by ungodly and unrighteous ways and have wonderful time in life, and enjoy yourself to the full, but at the expense of your soul and eternity. Good things like nice house, beautiful car, easy life and luxurious life; you get what you want, you eat what you want, you drive the car you like, and you travel all over the world. Is that not good and splendid? The Bible said the rich man "was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day." What a splendid and sweet life! He was wearing the best designers, and lived the best quality life of his generation. He did a lot of good things to his life and body, but not to his soul. Like this rich man, those who get good things without being godly, will regret at the end.

This is not an advice or a warning; it is a command for all children of God who are single waiting to marry.
“This is what the LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry whom they think best, but they may marry only within the family of their father’s tribe.’” Numbers 36:6
If you are a child of God through genuine salvation in Christ Jesus, then your Father is God and you are His child, you belong to the redeemed tribe of God through Jesus Christ. And when you want to marry either a brother or a sister, you must not marry outside the redeemed and regenerated tribe of God.
Everybody on earth has two different fathers, either God as Father or Satan, and we all belong to two different tribe – the regenerated tribe of God or sinful tribe of Satan.
As a child of God, if you marry a man or woman who is not genuinely born again and living a new life in Christ, it means you are marrying someone from another tribe of another type of father, Satan who is going to become your father in-law and it means anytime your father in-law visits you, you are trouble.
If you are in a relationship with someone who tells even little lies, it means you are preparing to get married from a tribe of lies, and the father of lies and all liars is Satan who will become your father in-law.
If you are in a marital relationship with someone who likes worldly fashion, it means you are getting married to the tribe of worldliness, and Satan is the father and will be your father in-law, and because of the spirit of worldliness, such marriage will be worldly and wasted.
If you are in a marital relationship with someone who is seducing you or demanding premarital sex, or who doesn’t see anything wrong in premarital sex, it means you are setting to marry from another tribe of Satan. When you please someone to give premarital sex in a marital relationship, the same person will displease you after marriage to give extra-marital sex to another person outside.
Any church or denomination which insists that their single brothers and sisters must marry in their church is teaching unbiblical phenomenon, except if such denomination can biblical prove that only their church members alone are children of God and all other Christians from other churches are sinners – that will be extreme heresy. Bible does not command Christians to marry in a particular denomination, but only in the Lord.
Do not marry from the tribe of Satan, do not marry a worldly Christian, a gentle sinful Christian, a nice, beautiful worldly lady, a sinner-Christian, a sinner-Christian worker, an immoral-pastor, these are two contradictory words and it leads to contradiction in marriage.
Prayerfully and patiently wait for God’s perfect will for your life. God bless you

1. It is going to be the next greatest event that will shock all the continents of the world.
2. It is going to take place suddenly, abruptly, unexpectedly, without warning and without prior notice.
3. There shall be no second version of the event.
4. A greater percentage of Christians may be taken unawares.
5. Careless Christians who miss the event will have no other similar gracious opportunity.
6. The event shall have no regard or respect for ecclesiastical titles or church leadership positions.
7. It shall be a day when the sheep shall be separated from the goats.
8. The day shall differentiate between the Broad Way Christians from the Narrow Way Christians.
9. The day shall separate sincerity from hypocrisy.
10. The day shall differentiate between those who harbour secret sins from those who abhor secret sins.
11. The day shall separate those whose lives are hidden in Christ from those who are hiding in the church.
12. The day shall show a glaring, clear, conspicuous, demarcation between Christians who walk on the path of holiness from those who walk on the path of worldliness.
13. It shall be a day of double emotion: joy for some and unimaginable, indescribable, uncontrollable regrets for others.
14. It shall be a day of surprises- some “Big names” may miss the flight while some “Less known” may be on board.
15. Another surprise may be that a man or woman who had faithfully served the Lord for many years may defile his or her garment a few minutes before the sound of that summoning trumpet and miss the flight while a notorious sinner may surrender his or her life to Jesus within the same time frame and go to heaven.
16. This event may happen now, today, this week, this month, this year or next year!
17. Wise Christians, like the five virgins that took extra oil, are expected to get ready, yes, to get prepared.
18. After the event, all those who are bitter against one another, malicious, unforgiving, jealous, arrogant, haters, hypocrites, drunkards, fornicators, adulterers, adulteresses, murderers with weapons and murderers with tongue etc, shall have enough time to continue in their trade.
19. When the event is over there shall be revival among those who have chosen to stay behind not because there will be a second chance, no, but because the reality of the event would have struck them like a thunderbolt. But they will have to pay with their own blood.
20. When the event is over, those who are left behind shall no longer be safe to worship in their gigantic, fanciful and multi-billion Dollars/Cedis cathedrals. Instead they shall seek safety in caves, bushes and abandoned and dilapidated but hidden structures.
21. When this great event is over, each time those who will miss their flight manage to gather for worship, they will pay attention to only one sermon- whether they gather in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North or South America; the sermon will only centre on “How to Meet the Divine Standard and Join the Other Saints”.
22. It is also worthy to note that those who will be left behind will never have any business with comedians at their altars anymore. No! There shall no longer be gatherings for entertainments. Whenever, they manage to gather, it shall always be for serious religious business only.
23. The prayer pattern of those who will be left behind will also undergo a radical change. They will not be praying for things anymore. They will only be praying for strength to withstand the tortures of the Anti-Christ and die bravely to join the other saints. None will be praying for jobs, marriages, etc.
24. It is equally worthy of note that some of those who will miss their flight will not be able to endure the torture of the Anti Christ. They will receive the mark of the beast and thereby be doomed forever.
25. When the ready saints are gone, all our denominational walls of partition will collapse. The man or woman who use to worship in Deeper Life, for instance, will hide in the same place with those who worship in Christ Embassy, Church of God Mission, Assemblies of God, Word Aflame, Action Chapel, Winners Chapel, Lighthouse Chapel etc and nobody will remember to claim superiority anymore because then they will be facing a common enemy.
26. When this event is over, each time believers who will miss their flight manage to gather anywhere for worship, there will be an atmosphere of sobriety. This rowdiness we witness today shall be no more.
27. There shall also be a radical change in the attitude of those who will miss their flight towards Bible study. What we have now is an attitude characterized by a high degree of nonchalance and indifference, but when the ready saints are gone, those who will be left behind will begin to take their bible study seriously.
28. All the teens and youths who come to church to please their parents will repent after this great event; yes, they will begin to seek God for themselves.
29. When the event is over, all those who will do any form of business in the schools, hospitals, banks, etc, will have to bear the mark of beast (666) or be hunted down and killed like common criminals.
30. One of the gains of this reminder is that there may be someone reading this piece today who will take a firm decision to ensure that he/she gets on board that celestial flight travelling to Glory.

*PLEASE SHARE TO SAVE A SOUL*
God bless you.

To believe who God is and displease Him at the same time are contradictory opposite. If you believe that God is holy, righteous, and faithful and you are living unholy, unrighteous and unfaithful life it means your faith in God is fake. Genuine faith in God seeks to please and obey His commands.

Why do we need to continuously lay emphasis and warn against the false gospel preachers? Because this is so important that Jesus mentioned it first and foremost among the list of the signs of the end time.
Matthew 24: 3, “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”
Many are ignorant of this truth and so many are being deceived by the false ministers’ prophetic declaration, prosperity preaching, and pompous lifestyle.
When the Bible talks about end time false prophets, does it means they will come in a strange, dirty way? No, the end time false prophets would come in a friendly and lovely way. These false prophets are the prioritized prosperity preachers everywhere, they are the motivational speakers, the miracle prioritized preachers, the problematic prayer ministers, the luxurious preachers, and the money making ministers.
As many Jews were waiting for the coming of Elijah before the earthly ministration of Jesus Christ, they didn't believe John the Baptist was the Elijah to come as the forerunner, they are still waiting till today, and so also as Jesus predicted many signs which would happen before His second coming, false prophets are one of the major signs of His imminent coming.
These false prophets are already everywhere now, and if you care for the truth, they are the prosperity preachers everywhere, they are the motivational speakers, the miracle prioritized preachers, the problematic prayer ministers, the rich ministers, the luxurious preachers, and the money making ministers everywhere today.
These false preachers are feeding people with spiritually poisonous messages by capitalizing on your indulgence; they know what you want and so they major on those things that will attract you just as candy attracts kids but not well for their health. Apostle Peter said, “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words” 2 Peter 2:3.

You can't outsmart Satan, but you can only overcome him through Christ Jesus.
Luke 22:3, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.”
It is not possible for you, as a person, to outsmart Satan; you can only overcome him through Christ Jesus, but you cannot play game with Satan and outsmart him. That was what Judas Iscariot did, and he regretted it. Judas needed money, and he wanted to have it by all means, and so he thought he could play game with Satan and get the money from him. Judas thought he could get the money from Satan and then run away with the money to Jesus, since Jesus would always be there to forgive and help, and Satan is always there to offer the money; so he thought he could play a smart game on Satan by collecting the money and then run to Jesus.
But the true is that, it doesn't work that way, because we can’t mock God by willingly going against His word, and we can’t make fool of Satan by playing game with Him. Judas decided to sell Jesus and get the money, hoping that they would not be able to arrest Jesus, and he would have gotten the money from them; he believed the priests and Pharisees would be the looser, and he would get the money and still have Jesus Christ. He might have thought, “It’s absolutely impossible for them to arrest Jesus, never possible. Jesus who performed a lot of mighty miracles, who walked away several times they attempted to kill Him? Oh never, they can’t arrest Him. Since our agreement would just be for me to betray Jesus, and it is left to them to arrest Him; if they fail to, that is their problem, but then I would have gotten the money in my account. This is a golden chance for me to make money and get my dreamed properties and materials.”
But things didn't work out as he planned and played it. He lost Jesus, he lost the money, he lost his position in the ministry, he lost God’s purpose for his life and he lost eternal life, everything! Matthew 27:3-5, “Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” 5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.”
The same trick Satan used to deceive and destroy Judas Iscariot, he is using with so many followers of Jesus today. You need money, you need car, you need house, or you need a job, a position or promotion; you need admission, traveling documents or contracts; you need marital partner or children, whatever you need, Satan knows them. As you are trusting God for everything, then Satan would bring sinful suggestions and ungodly opportunities to you, that, “You can get the money, though in a sinful or satanic way, but after you get the money all you need to do is to run back to Jesus for forgiveness, God is always merciful, He will forgive you and you will retain the money.” Does that not sound beautiful for many people to consider? But it is a trick from the pit of hell.
He will also suggest that you can give the sinful demand to get the job, contracts, admission or documents, “just for you to get what you want and after that you go back to Jesus for forgiveness. Is it not just for a day or once? And you get what you need for life and go back to Jesus? You better be wise. The Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct, be wise!”
Satan may also suggests that you can marry the person, though not genuinely saved, but “after you get married, he or she will be saved, you can help her or him to be saved and then you serve God together” Satan will also tell you that you can give premarital sex so that you don’t lose the person. “No one will know, and after that you ask God to forgive you and get married. You have nothing to lose as long you are wise.”
The secret is that, every suggestion that you should commit sin or compromise your faith to get what you want, and after all ask God to forgive you, such suggestion is originated from Satan to deceive you and ruin you, he is trying to make another Judas Iscariot out of you. It was Satan who deceived Judas to do what he did. Luke 22:3, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.”
You cannot eat your cake and have it at the same time, you cannot mock God and make it, and you cannot play game with Satan and outsmart him. Judas Iscariot tried it, and he could not retrieve his way back, he lost everything. You must be wise to be warned not to become another Judas Iscariot of this generation, by thinking you can quickly get something in a sinful or satanic way and quickly get back to Jesus; you may never find your way back again, Judas could not make it back even though he cried and was remorse.
This trick of Satan of “Go Against God And Go back To Him After you Get What You Want” is an old trick and so deceptive; he even attempted to use it against Jesus Christ. In the wilderness, he came to tempt Jesus Christ, that Jesus should fall down, and God would be there to get Him. Luke 4:9-12.
The suggestion of Satan that you can quickly fall and God is there to raise you up is an act of tempting God, and you must not turn to such so that you will not be turned to pieces.
After you are saved, never attempt to succumb to satanic suggestion to play game with your soul; never think of going quickly into sin to get back to God; that will be a dangerous trip. “For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.” Hebrews 10:26, 27.
Wait upon the Lord for what you need, and be content with what you have. Never yield to the trick of Satan to take a short trip to sin to trap you. Do not be another Judas Iscariot, and do not become another Esau.
“Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:16, 17.

Wait upon the Lord for what you need, and be content with what you have at the moment. Never yield to the trick of Satan to take a short trip to sin in order to trap you. Do not be another Judas Iscariot, and do not become another Esau.
“Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:16, 17.

Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Faith in God is not just to believe God for miracle or something, but it is to please God. To believe who God is and displease Him at the same time are contradictory opposite. If you believe that God is holy, righteous, and faithful and you are living unholy, unrighteous and unfaithful life it means your faith in God is fake. Genuine faith in God seeks to please in His commands.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Hebrews 11:6. It is not possible to please God without faith, and it is not possible to have faith without pleasing God. Those preachers and churches who claim faith without holiness and righteousness are false. If your understanding about faith in God is believing God for blessing and miracle, then you have not gotten the clear understanding of the biblical faith.
Genuine faith of the Bible is believing God and pleasing God at the same time. If you believe and you fail to please Him in obedience to His commands, then your faith is fake and unfruitful. Faith without fruitfulness in the word of God is fake. Faith alone will amount to nothing if not accomplished with the work of righteousness. Believing alone without behaving to please God is bad.
Bible categorizes those who believe God without working righteousness as fools, because even demons are better than them. How? Do you know that demons also believe God, and they even tremble? Yet they are condemned, so your belief in God without work of righteousness is empty. James 2:19, 29 “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?”
Faith in God without working righteousness in God is dead, such faith is of same level with the faith of demons, and such churches and preachers who teach that all you need is faith in God and His righteousness without you pleasing God in righteous living are teaching doctrines of demons. Demons believe there is God, they believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they tremble. Mark 5:7, “And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”
So you believe there is God? Devil and demons do. You believe Jesus Christ is Lord? Devil and demons do believe also, they even tremble before God which many “so called” Christians don’t. So what makes difference between your faith and demons’ faith if your faith lacks work of righteousness?
One of the doctrines of demons of this end time is faith without work; it teaches to just believe, confess and cash, but such faith never produces righteousness or holy living in such believers; they are loud in their confessions, they claim to be the righteousness of God, but they lack fruit of righteousness. Apostle Paul warned of such believers, preachers and churches, “having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy3:5.
Faith in God, in Jesus Christ as the Savior is form of righteousness, but the power thereof is living to please God in righteousness and holy living. If you believe in faith without pleasing God in holiness and righteousness, you are ruining your soul, if you are going to a church that teaches faith without working righteousness, you must run away from such, and if you have any book, CD or Christian material that emphasizes on faith in God without emphasis on pleasing God in holiness, you must destroy such; Bible warning is “And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy3:5.
Have you gotten genuine faith that pleases God and produces righteousness in your life since you have believed? If not, why not now? All you need to do is to embrace the truth and abandon false teachings about faith; rededicate your life to Jesus and start a new faith that will not fail you on the rapture day.
Jude 3, 4 “Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
