Not Today

Christians are not judges 
A day will come when we will 
judge the world but that day 
is not today 
A day will come when believers 
will judge angels, but that day is 
not today 
A day will come when we will 
condemn the world but that day 
is not today 
Today, we save the world through
the gospel. 
We reconcile the world to the
 Father through Jesus 
Today we spread the fragrance of
 the love of Jesus, not by PREACHING 
a gospel of fear, demons, and Hell 
but by the declaration of his love 
and grace through the Holy Spirit. 
I have seen the kind of believers the
gospel of fear of hell produces 
They are a sorry lot 
They find it difficult to forgive 
They are self-righteous 
They cast stones at will 
They feel they have paid a price by 
denying themselves and those who 
didn't do the same should burn in hell 
All they see is death, decay and
destruction 
That is the reality of their Christian life 
Once they open their mouth you will 
hear the negativism 
"Every Enemy...." 
"Every Demon..." 
"Every Attack..." 
"Witchcraft Coven..." 
"Pit of hell..." 
"Every Power..." 
and other phrases like those mentioned 
are constantly in their vocabulary
 They have a mental relationship with 
the Holy Spirit but they do not give 
Him full expression in their realities 
Something is always out to get them
Someone is always on their case
 are always in control of the narrative 
They cannot discern or differentiate 
good from evil 
They are easily deceived physically and 
spiritually
They are extremely gullible 
The reality of the spirit is too complicated 
for them 
....As you are in the light, walk so in it.... 
says the word but they claim to be in 
the light but their prayers, words, thoughts,
 and imaginations are always professing 
and acknowledging darkness.
They are superstitious
They take every experience they have in 
the spirit as negative, and are always 
reacting to reality rather than happening 
to reality 
Put their life and the life of Jesus side 
by side and you will find no similarity 
They have a hard heart and a religious 
mindset
They cannot offer grace and reconciliation 
to the sinner or a backsliding believer 
They would rather tie such to the stake and 
burn him as an example to others 
I was in a state once to preach the gospel 
The Holy Spirit said there was a family in 
that church, the late head of the
family was a fraudster 
This man swindled many people including a
 pastor and he and his family were cursed 
by the pastor before he died
Since he died, his family had suffered 
so much 
His wife had gone to this prophet with her 
three daughters begging for forgiveness 
and even selling all the properties her  
husband acquired with the ill-gotten gains 
to restitute 
This prophet refused to forgive 
He said the amount of money that was taken 
from him and the church was way higher 
than what was brought back 
The family acknowledged the wrong done 
but they couldn't raise the full sum 
They begged
The prophet said NO! 
The man's wife was afflicted in the left 
side of her body 
His three daughters were afflicted also 
Two with fibroid 
The third with cyst 
All advancing towards their forties without 
a spouse 
It was a life of sorrow, tears, and blood 
I have never met them before
in my life 
As I was rounding off the ministration, 
i saw them in my spirit 
A lady and her children weeping and 
pleading for mercy 
So I announced it and asked them to 
come forward 
The whole church went silent 
Everybody knew their case 
They were the accursed family in the 
church
As soon as they got to the altar the 
woman fell on her knees 
She was in her late fifties but she 
looked seventy 
She was in tears 
The daughters also fell on their knees 
They reminded me of the lady with 
the alabaster box 
They kept coming to the same church, 
seeking mercy and grace 
I asked her how long ago the prophet 
laid a   curse on their family 
She said 17 years! 
Oh, my word! 
I asked her how much the money her 
husband "stole" was 
She said 2.7 million 
How much have you paid back? 
She said she and her children had been 
able to raise 4.4 million 
Why are you paying more than was 
stolen? 
She said the prophet said they have 
to pay in sevenfold before he would 
lift the curse 
Wow! 
The prophet was in the church 
The team that invited me were the 
leadership of the youth church 
It was the thanksgiving service of 
the Youth programme and I was 
ministering the gospel to the main 
church (The youth joined the main 
church for service) 
So I turned to the Prophet and looked 
at him His face was stony 
He didn't even crack a smile 
He was assuming nobody else but he 
could lift the curse but he was mistaken, 
he didn't know the gospel 
The reason the family remained under 
the curse for so long was because they 
had not encountered the gospel. 
...Nobody can lay a charge against 
His elect 
...Nobody can curse those whose DNA 
was coded in Christ 
...Light can never curse the light Apostle 
Paul said "Henceforth, let no man trouble 
me for I bear upon my body the mark of 
the Lord Jesus Christ! 
Believers are sealed with the Holy Ghost 
of promise 
We live, move and breathe in Christ 
Christ is the blessed one 
You cannot be cursed in the blessed one 
It is just impossible So I turned to the
 mother and her daughters and I said 
"This curse is broken now!" 
They chorused "Amen" and almost 
instantly the three of them were 
baptized in the Holy Spirit and they 
started praying in tongues right there 
I handed over the microphone to the 
minister that invited me 
After the service, the Prophet sent 
for me 
He was warm and congenial but he felt 
I shouldn't have done what I did 
without his permission 
He said they were an example for the 
church 
He deliberately instructed them that 
they must never leave that church, it 
was part of their punishment
and he did that so that anyone in the church 
who was tempted would look at them and 
have a rethink 
I apologized to him i reminded him that the 
Holy Spirit that we received was for the 
liberation of men and not to place them in 
bondage Luke 4: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord 
is on me, because he has anointed me to 
proclaim good news to the poor. 
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for 
the prisoners and recovery of sight for 
the blind, to set the oppressed free, 
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
 He said it was okay and wished me well
but he was unhappy about it 
The Holy Spirit graciously made a way 
for this family The youngest daughter got 
married to an American and the whole 
family relocated abroad 
The other two sisters have also gotten 
married and continued to live a blessed life 
The Gospel is a blessing
unto mankind 
It is not a curse 
The gospel is the power to forgive sinners 
and bring them to the love of Jesus, 
not to afflict them and watch them burn 
Sinners sin, that is their nature 
The light shines, that is its nature 
The light does not put anyone in the 
darkness
