Unbundled

Do You Trust The Holy Spirit?
A prostitute once walked into my fellowship, 
Unbundled

She dressed quite decently and couldn’t be 
identified as one. She came to church because 
her mother was sick and medical help had failed. 
Her mother was all she had. She didn’t come 
for the sermon, she wanted a miracle!
I was seating in the crowd. (On the first row) 
the Holy Spirit said “Turn around”. I did! 
My gaze fell on her immediately!
I walked up to her and laid hands on her
That set her off!
“I need God to heal my mother, I am a prostitute,
 I know God hates me but can he heal my mother?”
She shouted!
I told her if she gives her life to Jesus, the Bible 
says God will save her and her household!
So she gave her life to Jesus
Then I said, “I believe converted souls should 
get baptized in the Holy Spirit,  would you like 
to receive the Holy Ghost?”
She said yes!
I laid hands on her and she started praying 
in tongues!
She shook and screamed and fainted for 
a few minutes.
When the service was over she left
Some “older members of the church 
came to me”
You should have followed her up better! 
You know the lifestyle she is returning to...
I said No!
I trust the Holy Spirit!
I know His work!
My own duty is to preach the gospel and 
minister the Holy Spirit to His people. 
His own is to keep His children!
She never came back!
Years later, she came to the church I attend 
on a Sunday
I didn’t recognize her
She introduced herself and said “I want to 
thank you. My mother survived somehow!
 It was a miracle and she is still alive today. 
I also find myself unwilling to continue as a 
prostitute, I struggled for a few months until 
one day I left the work!
I met someone who helped me!
I was a tailor before I went into prostitution. 
The person rented a shop for me and bought
 me some machines! It was a loan and I worked 
night and day to repay it! I am married now with 
two children. I had always wanted to seek you 
out to say  Thank you!
Wow! I was speechless!
We should trust the Holy Spirit more!
Let us stop trying to set ourselves up as 
human behavior modifiers! 
"The Law and performance have no place in
the gospel! 
Following up converts should not be just 
cerebral and mundane! 
Please fill your converts with the Holy Spirit! 
Let Him do the rest!

Their Fruits...
It was the fruit of their life that made me 
re-examine my beliefs
They were supposed to be the leaders of 
the church
One would come sharing testimonies of near-death 
experiences and losses of all kinds
The other would speak of gloom and doom and 
how her only hope is making heaven
I didn’t find anything attractive in their lives!
Not one thing!
But I know the Holy Spirit and I was a believer
The more they fed me, the more like them I became
I taught what they taught me and got pats on 
my back for being a growing Christian!
Their approval was my joy
Then I fell sick
I was preparing for my first medical tourism 
to India
They all have been to India once or twice
It was a natural path for all of us
But I didn’t have the money and I cannot beg!
So I asked the Holy Spirit
“Is this it, is this the trial and tribulation promised?”
He said no!
He opened my eyes to His gospel!
Live on me
Trust me
Let me work out the details of your life
You cannot trust me and trust in the law
 at the same time
You cannot be sin conscious and be 
God-conscious at the same time
Your reality is determined by what you believe!
I cried that day
The leaders of the church jeopardized my life
They were feeding me an adulterated gospel message
Sin was central to their teaching, not Christ
Self-righteousness has been labeled “Holiness”
I changed!
I read my Bible by myself and prayed in the Holy Ghost
It took three months but I was divinely healed
I started preaching the gospel 
The result was outstanding
Barren women in the church started getting 
pregnant and delivering babies
The sick got healed
The dead got raised
They celebrated the results with joy and 
gladness but...
...They wouldn’t accept the message 
I preached
That those who accept Jesus as Lord and 
Saviour and are filled with the Holy Spirit 
are kept by Grace!
They said I am selling sin tickets
Giving people a license to sin
They just don’t get it
“He that is born of God cannot sin”

Editing The Truth?

Some wanted to "carry people along" they began 
to edit THE TRUTH.
Eventually, they deviated into something else... 
That desire to be accepted should be towards 
the Lord alone not men because He owns the 
hearts of men.
But when our focus is for men to accept us, 
we would become men pleasers, unstable 
as water, scattered....
If the Lord hired you, He is the only one who 
grades you, not any man!
Open the history books and Learn to explore 
your heritage as a believer.
The truth is that there is nothing actually new 
about what you think you are doing now.
Others have laboured learn to enter their 
labour and push the frontier beyond were 
they stopped.
Many people think God is always beginning 
a new thing. No sir. Your father is a wise 
master builder, he does not begin a project 
halfway and then begin another one. 
The personal vision the Lord has given you to
 run with is nothing new but a furtherance of 
what he has began with men and woman of 
faith who walked in the phase of time before you.
Daddy's character is that he always send us 
to enter what others have laboured for and from 
there we continue [John 4:38].
If one has been used to lay the foundation daddy
 will not use you to begin another foundation 
but to build on it. This is our the kingdom works.

This is why honour is key, It is how we enter 
the labour of the saints who walked with 
God in time past before us. Honour in this 
sense simply means utmost regard for them. 
If they didn't become your history you will not 
have the foundation to stand on in the present.
Most of them may not be so accurate as we 
are today but still they paved the way for our 
progress in understanding.
Know that our understanding of God's ultimate 
work continues to expand and generations will 
come after us and will find some lapses in our 
own understanding. This is a good sign that we 
are growing as a body.
Do you also know that it is against our culture 
of faith to look back on those who walk with the 
Lord in faith and talk about their weaknesses or 
failures?
Faith ONLY record God's exploit through them 
not how they failed or what they did wrong study 
how Abraham and other men and women of faith 
was spoken of in the new testament. 
Their flaws was never taken into account

We open our heart to be fueled by their exploits
 of faith because that is the only truth about 
them that faith has taken into record.

So if I get to know about a man whom God has
 used to advanced his course on earth I don't go 
checking out whether he was good at explaining 
the letters in context am after what God has used 
him to realise, this does not mean I have to accept 
everything he says. A man's exploit is not a 
yardstick for doctrinal accuracy. 
You are still a baby if your honour for men is 
on the basis of "accurate theology and eloquence 
they have" 
We truly honour them outside of their shortcomings. 
However when it comes to doctrinal matters 
we don't speak in favour of anyone under the guise 
of honour, such is not honour it is Idol worship. 
Everyone of us are subject to the supreme word 
of truth when it comes to the doctrine.

How well can I communicate this message to 
you so that you won't be lofty in your own 
eyes for your own good but to embrace all that 
Your daddy have put in store for you.
You are the blessed

Identity school of redemption

The revelation of Christ is the revelation of me.
In Him I see myself.
As He is, so am I.

Success in Ministry...

Please can somebody explain to me what it 
means to "make it" in ministry.
He has influence, money, schools and 
private jets is that what it means to make 
it in ministry?
Even the young ones coming up are 
waiting to make it some day.
You are free to disagree with this.
You are not in the ministry to be the world 
richest man.
Ministry is not a profit-making business.
Material wealth is not a proof of faithfulness 
in ministry.
You are not in the ministry to make it someday, 
you are in the ministry to preach the Gospel ONLY.
Be a faithful Steward who doesn't live for self 
ambition but for the master's interest.
The mistake many believers make while dealing 
with oppositions from darkness is the praying 
exercise that seems to put them in a battle 
contest with the forces of darkness. 
A lot of times believers act in fear and keep 
believing God to get the victory. I don't want to 
go into a lot of scriptures that reveals beyond 
every shadow of doubt that the believers warfare 
is not a battle contest to defeat the devil and all 
his forces.
Our ignorance have given the devil a "realistic" 
position and he has been able to make good use 
of the ground we have given him.

Oppressed?
It takes understanding to reign as righteousness, 
I remember years ago how I was greatly oppressed 
of the devil simply because I don't know, 
I did pray based on how I understand prayer to 
be, do all the casting and binding but the 
oppression became worse, 
I have left hours of prayer and was still 
oppressed that same night. 
There were times I will wake up from sleep 
after much prayers and I will be bleeding on 
my lap "invisible fingers had worked on it" 
other times I will wake up and I cannot walk 
with my two legs, many times I had to crawl 
of the room seeking one to help me out, went to
 many deliverance centres which further 
complicated my life and strengthened the hold 
of darkness in my soul. 
I was so powerful as a believer but I suffered 
what it means to be powerless because my
 heart was void of understanding, lies was 
enthroned and dignified in my heart through
 the leading figures I submitted my heart to. 
The nights were horrible. 
I thought to myself I never experienced 
all these sufferings as an unbeliever, although 
my father was an herbalist and I was the son 
who actively got involved with my father but 
still never did I experience such attacks in 
such manner before, so I took a "break" from 
anything call church.
Long story short during one of those times when 
in my mind I thought I was away I got to know
 Pastor Chris of Christ embassy, for the first time 
I was hearing a "strange" doctrine, it was 
I couldn't just ignore because the word of God 
was becoming so real to me. 
Then he always talk about 2 Corinthians 5:17 and 
the amazing thing was that I have read the text 
several times and it has even be used as part of 
the deliverance prayer point. He made me saw 
the scripture as my very deliverance that is ever 
the truth, for the first time I saw it was not a 
prayer point but my reality. From that time it 
has been victory all the way. 
We reign in life by the revelation of Truth sitting 
on our heart.
Our heart need to be established in Truth.
The believer messing up demons and the 
forces of darkness only becomes effective 
with the heart established in Truth. 
If you buy into falsehood that will become 
an advantage to them to continue their evil 
manipulating work to mess you up.

Your absolute rest in God is true power which 
is your seated position with Christ. 
It is by this rest that you silent the opposition 
of darkness against you. Prayer becomes a 
fruitless exercise when it is not done from the 
place of absolute rest in God.

For it is a good thing that your heart be 
established in Grace.
[Hebrews 13:9 TRT]

Unmovable!
Be unmovable and invulnerable to various strange
 teachings. It is to your own advancement that 
your heart be thoroughly established and rooted 
in the revelatory Grace of God and not with the 
rituals of what to eat and not eat which has not 
made anyone involved in such practice better
You are the blessed

Courting Bitterness?

No matter how much you differ from other 
Christians on doctrinal ground, kindly avoid 
bitterness in the pursuit of 
your faith. 
Bitterness is a trap of the devil, don't fall into it.
It is a given, you will always have people 
who disagree with you, depending on the 
light they have received or 
that you have received. 
In all this, never travel the path of hate. 
If they hate you, love them in return.
Any revelation knowledge you hold or teach 
that makes you bitter or hate on another 
person for whatever reason
 is not from God.
There are people who teach from the 
position of bitterness, envy and anger. 
They may be logical and even quote 
plenty of scriptures to buttress their 
points but this will not change the fact 
that God has not sent them.
Admittedly, there are also some who have 
been cheated and offended by the prevailing 
religious system in the past. 
When they remember their experiences, 
they still hurt badly.
Friends, it is time to heal, "
For the wrath of man does not work the
 righteousness of God. James 1:20
"for human anger is never a legitimate 
tool to promote God’s righteous purpose.
James (Jacob) 1:20 TPT
If you are hurting, kindly seek healing 
for yourself first of all. If you don't, 
you may end up hurting others. 
Wounded people that don't heal up 
will go ahead to wound others.
Dear friends, guard your hearts with 
all diligence 
for out of it are the issues of life.
 If your heart is overtaken by 
bitterness, no true life can issue out of it.
Heal from all hurts
Heal from all bitterness
Heal from anger.

No matter how bad it has been, please 
Let go and forgive, anything and anyone.
To forgive is to let go of a prisoner only to 
find out you have been the prisoner all along.
I pray for everone who is hurting, you are 
finding healing for your soul, in Jesus name

Amen.

Endeavor to love the church. Fall in love 
with God's people wherever they are, 
whether within or outside of denominations 
that you approve or disapprove.
Regardless of how imperfect the church 
appears to be, Christ still loves His church, 
warts and all. 
He will never abandon her, never.

In all you do, let love lead.
It is a new day.
NINYO.

I want to become a Medical Doctor.
So I study hard, write my UTME and scored
 290. 
Went ahead to do my post UTME and got 70%.
I know what I want. I want to become 
a medical doctor.
So lectures begin and my lecturers 
start coming to class.
The Prof who is paid to teach us Anatomy 
comes to class and starts gisting us about 
how Messi is better than Ronaldo.
The other one who is supposed to teach
 us O&G comes to class and starts talking
about how Jagaban is a political guru in 
the Nigerian political landscape.
Yet another lecturer who is supposed 
to teach Human Physiology comes to class 
and starts talking about he 
doesn't like Real Madrid.
Now, on a good day, I'd love to enjoy 
those talk shows.
But hey, I didn't study so hard to get 
admitted into 
medical school to hear about Messi, 
Jagaban and Barcelona. 
I could get all that info elsewhere. 
Not in medical class.
Is the Professor wrong to love Messi, revert 
Jagaban, and hate Madrid?
No, he is not.
Is he paid by the school to talk to me in class 
about all that? No way.
Maybe if we meet in a restaurant somewhere 
or by the road, we could indulge ourselves in 
such extracurricular talks. 
But in medical class? No way!
Now, if I just sit there, enjoying the talks 
and hailing the Prof as my nigga, then I am 
definitely determined to waste 
my parent's money. 
Because I'll spend 7 years in school, and I won't even 
be able to name the 206 bones in the human body. 
I might know all the stats of 
Messi and be able to properly detail 
Jagaban's political journey. 
But I wasn't sent to medical school to become 
a football analyst or political commentator.
At the end of the day, who is at loss?
Me! Yes, Me!

***
Now, I come to church and the Pastor begins 
to talk about every other thing but God's word. 
He is talking about finance, 
business, social skills, etc.
Do I appreciate the fact that he is knowledgeable
 in those things? Oh, yes.
Did God put him in my life as my pastor to 
teach me all that? No.
If I am cool with it, what does that make me?
At the end of the day, who loses?
Me!
Any local church that is not training you for the 
work of ministry is a disadvantage to your 
spiritual life.
May you see this on time.
