CHAPTER 1

CAST DOWN BUT NOT BROKEN

It may be that since you were born nothing good hasever happened to you and the only thought that entersyour mind is death, perhaps through suicide. Yourbusiness has collapsed, and you have been married fora long time without a child. May be you have beendisappointed by promise and fail several times inmarriage and your age is growing every day. Perhapsyou have failed many exams and no hope of passing anyin the future. Your problems are numerous and appearinsurmountable. Do not despair. There is good newsfor you. There is hope, do not kill yourself, thereis a way of escape out of all troubles. No matter howlong you have been down, but thank God you are notbroken into pieces, God can still do something out ofyour remain life. He created the world out ofnothing, even when the world was without form, voidand covered with darkness, He still spoke and thingshappened. He can still use you to bring to pass greatthings in this world.. You may say, how is itpossible, but listen to this word of Hope. The Lordwill add life to you as a moisturizing cream giveslife to a dry skin leaving it wet all day long. Godis always faithful. Wait for Him for your blessings.You can regain back your lost glory. A step at a timein the will of God is better than many fast stepsoutside the will of God. May be that your problems isthat your leading yourself instead of God leading you. When you are leading God is behind and He’s off yourlife, but when He is leading you are behind and He isdivinely directing you to your destination.“…….. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Sothat you may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and Iwill not fear what man shall do unto me.”

Hebrews 13: 5 - 6

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto hiseternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye havesuffered a while, make you perfect, establish,strengthen, settle you.

Peter 5: 10 - 11God has promised to handle your problems Himself,

they mean nothing to Him. What you called a problemmay be a way of God’s promotion to your life. Thedevil may have kept you under his captivity for a longtime, but the due time for God to lift you up and letthe world see His glory in your life has come. “Hewill never leave you nor forsake you” is the word ofassurance before the ugly face of devil. Release yourfaith and receive this promise for yourself. Your

problem is but for a while, the Lord has promised totake over from you if you can cast it at his feetright now even as you are reading this book. You cankneel down now, or even stay where you are now to talkto the Almighty God for an intervention. The HolySpirit is just by you to hear you whisper to Him:“help me” and He will do it right there. Believe, Isay believe, He did it for others, He will also do thesame for you. This is your own time of elevation. TheLord will miraculously perfect, strengthen andestablish all that concerns you. He will surelysettle you and you will have rest in your soul.

A WATERING FROM ABOVE

In the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37) all the boneswere dry and scattered. Even the man of God did notknow what to do about them, but God told him toprophesy. You can prophesy through the word of God tothat situation that has disappointed you and it willchange for the better. If you are not convinced,perhaps due to your own little faith look for agenuine man of God around you now to speak to Godconcerning your problems. The problems may be as highas a mountain, but definitely not higher that the‘MOST HIGH GOD”. God is the most high, higher thatyour problems.

Listen, no matter how dry the ground may be, when itrains it must be watered. Your business, academics,ministry, family life and other aspect of your lifenot mentioned here may be so dry that every hope forsurvival is lost but when the rain of God descendsupon your state of hopelessness you will triumph withvictory. May you have spiritual, financial andmaterial rain fall in your life from now on in JesusName. Only believe and act in accordance with theword you are reading now. The judgment of God isfalling upon those problems now, of course they areguilty to have come your way. You are a child of God,a child of destiny, a covenant child. I decree yourdeliverance in Jesus Name.God is raising a new you. He will begin from workingin the inside of you. If you are not born again, readthe Salvation Guide behind the book and you willexperience a change in your life immediately. Everyodd impression you have concerning your life, throw itaway, and forget about it, from now plunge yourselfinto God’s word for greatness. The throne of God willbe opened wide for you as you seek Him. You can neverfail, and no power of hell can stand where you standas you begin to listen to what God’s Word says and dothem accordingly:

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our

faith; who for the joy that was set before him enduredthe cross, despising the shame, and the throne ofGod.”

Hebrews 12:2Our Lord Jesus went through several problems because

of our lives. He was despised and disgraced for us.He had a purpose and a focus, He despised every shamebecause the throne that God reserved for Him was Hisdestination. He so focused His attention on the Thronethat non of the problem He went through meant anythingto Him. You must be ready, like our Lord Jesus alongwith other worthy people that have made it in life tobrake up and confront all your hindrances. Stopeverything that hinders your progress; any obstaclethat stands in your way to divine freedom. You aremore than a conqueror, but it doesn’t just come thatway, but you must fight it out to have it.

God can give life to that thing you think is alreadydead, believe the Lord and the end you think has come,will instead, become a new beginning of yourgreatness. Remove your mind from the past failuresand damages in your life; reason with God through HisWord and see how He will lift you up. Step one isjust to say to yourself; “from today, I will become asuccess,” then you begin to work in strict obedienceand compliance with His word carry out the remainingjob.

ARISE AND SHINE

God bless you as you rise now and shine to the gloryof the Lord your Father. Isaiah 60: 1 - 5. Somethink because they lost a particular business contractthat nothing good can come their way again. Beloved,the things you think will no more yield fruits willcertainly produce bountiful harvests; the God we servewill never allow you to continually remain in tears.“Looking unto Jesus,” the Maker of heaven and earth iswhat every one must boldly declare.If the Lord is our shepherd, we must look unto him fora change. If He is our great physician, We must waitfor Him to heal, and if He is the great provider, wemust ask for His supply according to our needs if youcall Him to be in-charge, He will do it all as youwork with Him.

Our father is greater than any problem that may comeour way. The devil is always interested in puttingman into stress, making him believe quite erroneouslythat the Lord has abandoned him. Make your life easyby changing the way you think. If you make yourselfvulnerable, the devil will take advantage of yourweaknesses and engage you in vicious attacks. STANDFIRM AND KNOW THAT NO HEAVENLY ENTHRONED PERSON CAN BEDETHRONED BY SATAN, OR ANYONE.

Hear This!A particular woman got married and as she startedgiving birth to children they all started dying oneafter the other. One of her surrounding enemiesstarted saying “giving birth is not the matter, butcan they live”? That enemy will always laugh and sayyou are wasting your time here, you cannot stay inthis compound. She also used diabolical means to makesure that the woman had no child in that family. Butthis woman even as unbeliever who knew not God willalways cry and tell God that I did no wrong to anyoneand if I did anyone wrong to anyone may you avenge meon their behalf, but it not avenge me of my enemies.Guess what happened, it was wonderful. Hear the storyin full. The devil was blown out of the ring on herbehalf. Her enemy was hijacked, thrown out anddisappointed. Today that woman has five male childrenthat are doing perfectly fine in different endeavoursof life. Thank God they are all children of God withtheir mother. God can do the same for you if you holdon Him firmly.

CHAPTER 2

OVERCOMING DISAPPOINTMENTS

The only foundation that stands forever is that whichis laid by God. Surely, whatsoever does God not plantmust be uprooted. Heaven does not beg the devil toact. What you desire is what you will have if you askfor it according to the will of God. Are youdisappointed? No! That is not disappointment, it is away up. Sooner than you think, the God of Heaven andearth will wipe away your tears.“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth foryou. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary thedevil,as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may

devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowingthat the same afflictions Are accomplished in yourbrethren that are in the world. But the God of allgrace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory byChrist Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.1 peter 5:7-10

There is only one winner in the physical and spiritrealms and that is Jesus Christ. The devil has neverwon once, and can never win. Through this uniquewinner (the Lord Jesus Christ), we stand to win inevery battle. Disappointment is not a strange thing inlife. It is a thing that many people dread so mush,No one want to be disappointed at all, yet it remainsinevitable, a regular feature in the affairs of humanlife. Our attitude towards there disappointmentsdetermine s their effect on our lives. How do youperceive your disappointment? Do you see yourdisappointments as the end of one’s life? Not at all. Can there be hope when disappointment sets in. Hasanyone succeeded in this life after disappointment?Is there any way of escape? Question! Question! The answer is very simply, yes! But itdepends on you and your focus in life. “…..for hethat cometh to God must believe he is, and that his arewarder of them that diligently seek him’ Heb.11:6How do you reason when the supposed disappointmentcomes? Listen! Disappointment does not signify the endof ones life. There is hope no matterthe nature of the disappointment many have succeededand even excelled much higher they were before theywere disappointed or encumbered with problems.Do not misunderstand God, He is ever closer to youthan before. God will soon make you to stand again.Listen friend, you don’t understand, God is shaping a

new you. He wants to build a winner, a mighty winnerout of you.

“ The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, heshall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord Upholdethhim with his hand.

Psalms 37:23-24

THAT’S NOT THE END

The devil has led many to believe thatwhen disappointment takes place, the end of life hascome. This is the reason why many have discouraged,many have killed themselves by plunging into the sea,others jumped onto moving vehicles to be killed, somehanged themselves, while others have taken poison todie. These unfortunate circumstances come about ourof total ignorance of God’s tender care and lovingkindness towards his people I know you are one ofhis people why then must you think of suicide whenthe devil has succeeded in waging war againstsomeone leading to self destruction because thatperson is disappointed, he feels so happy because heknows he has gained that soul in hell. Beloved, youhave greater and better things ahead of you toachieve. Remind yourself and the devil always that nomatter what happens to you that God is alive . Heknows you need new upliftment and He will exalt youexceedingly.

The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill and todestroy: I am come that they might have life, and thatthey might have it more abundantly.

John 10:10.

There is nothing good the devil can offer.He has deceived many people even some in the churchestoday are turning to him because they have no valuefor their soul. They value the think of the worldmore than God, and they have decided to become agentsfor the devil to destroy what they have helped tobuild. Every problem is measured according to theway you see it, but the surest thing is that noproblem is greater than the God you serve. As long as we live on earth, there aretimes when problems come in and even serious ones thatseem insoluble. Somebody’s new car is burnt, beyondrepairs, a newly wedded man or woman dies suddenly,somebody’s house is completely burnt down with all is

possessions inside, many people hare suffered greatloss of business through bout mishaps or fireoutbreaks in the market places. Beloved, many seriousand unbearable incidents have happened in the lives ofpeople like you incidents that would have led them tocommit suicide out of frustration, but many of themsurvived the mental torture, the evil temptation totake their lives and today, are living witnesses Godis faithful, he is always looking at us to know whatto do in times of trouble. May be you are confusenow, but your God is not confused, he knows what he isdoing. Heaven will bring a great storm over that yourproblem, and will shake it loose from its foundationto ensure complete freedom for you in the name ofJesus.

Do Not Die!

God is behind all his children in times oftrials and temptation. Whatsoever happens to them, hewatches to see our reaction, to know if it will workout to his glory or not. God has never allowed hischildren to be broken into pieces, there is always away to escape the traps of satan. No matter howgrievous it is, God is the rewarder of them thatdiligently seek him. Some -times the enemy comes into attack, to disturb and to stop the good workalready designed to glorify God. Just in time, Godsteps in to prove his power by raising up the fellow.The afflictions of the devil, failures anddisappointment do no debar God from doing what hewishes to do it all depends on our focus in life basedon our relationship with him. If we hold on tight tothe Lord, we will become glorious. Even on yoursick bed, you can come out of it with ease. Nothinghas right to withhold the word of God from working foryour good if you open your heart to receive it now.

Heaven is ready if you are ready trust in the Lordwith all thine heart, and lean not into thine ownunderstanding. In all ways acknowledge him, and heshall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall givethee the desires of thine heart commit thy way untothe Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it topass.

Psalms 37:4-5. Nothing takes our heavenly father unawares, he knowevery- thing before they come. To fall in any area oflife is not the end of every thing, through one fails,

he shall not utterly be cast down. Even if are castdown, you shall not be broken into pieces. You mustbelieve that everything that is scattered can begathered together by God. No wander the Lord evencommanded Ezekiel to prophecy to dry bone and it cameto pass they were given flesh and blood so they maylive again. The important thing is to on trust theLord until success is achieved. It must come and youwill soon rejoice. God is the ultimate commander inour life. I command every obstacle in your life to bownow in the name of Jesus Christ. Without battle, Jehovah is out in angerto destroy, stand still there is nothing like victory. Every disappointment brings God’s appointment. Whenthink you have been disappointed, it means God has anew place to appoint you. Trusting in the lord forevery thing in your life is the message of the presenthour. Even as you reading this book, may be you arepassing through a fiery trial in your life. Listen,the Lord is nearer to you than ever before. He willsustain you, he will deliver you, and he will set youfree from that problem. Every problem is a startingpoint of miracle in life. When your way is blockedfor any reason, it is for a breakthrough to appear toyou. You should every thing through the eyes offaith, through the knowledge and wisdom as entrenchedin the word of God. There is nothing like defeat forany child of God. Rather the battle will only behotter than before for your victory to appear. Thatproblem that stands like a mountain qualifies you foron equally mountainous breakthrough, open doors andmiracles.

OPEN UP TO GOD NOW

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shallstand at the latter day upon the earth: And throughafter my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my fleshshall l see God: Whom I shall see for myself, andmine eyes shall see for behold, and not anther:Though my reins be consumed within me.

Job 19:25-27

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken inthe name of the Lord, or an example of sufferingaffliction, and of patience. Behold, we count themhappy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience ofJob, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lordis very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

James 5:10-11. The prophets who worked for the Lord in theold time were tortured and humiliated; some were even

imprisoned, but God fought for them. They endured andat the end they had their victories. You can learn agreat lesson from them. Job was a classic example of a personthat had serious disappointment in life, he was beatenon very side of his life and family. His flesh wasmade rotten but he persevered in the Lord. His faithcarried him throughout the time of his travails. Hebelieved strongly that God was on his side, that nomatter the tricks and gimmicks of the devil, he stooda better chance in the sight of God than the devilhimself. Your problem is not different from his, Godwill deliver you no matter the weight and height ofthe problem, He has done it for others and he will dofor you too.

STAND ON HIS STRENGTH

The devil can be stopped if he sets out to accomplisha work, but God cannot be stopped. There isnothing to panic about when we are too sure that Godis on our side fighting for us. The only battle youloose is when you begin to live either in secret oropen sin, if not, nothing can stand to oppose you andwins.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help introuble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earthbe removed, and though the mountains be carried intothe midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roarand be troubled, though the mountain shake with theswelling thereof. There is a river, the streamswhereof shall make glad the city of God, the holyplace of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is inthe midst of her; she shall not moved: God shall helpher, and that right early. Paslms 46:1-5

THE BEGNNING OF GREATNESS

A young man gathered all his money and bought goodslike every other person to seek for fortune, and as hewas traveling through the sea to Cameroon,unfortunately the waves become so turbulent that theboat capsized and all the people including their goodfell into the sea. Some managed to come out whileother drowned concerning the goods; nothing wasrecovered at all one of the survivors realizing that

all his goods had sank into Theresa jumped back intothe water and drowned the other survivors, throughstranded at the river bank simply resigned their fateto God. One boy particular went back to Double wherehe lived and started buying goods on credit, and latergot a store. Now, the store has grown so great, thathe now imports goods from Overseas doing much betterthan before. Why die? There is still hope forsurvival. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. When one door is closed, God opens other doors ofgreatness. I believe that God cannot allow us to bedisappointed without appointing us into anothergreater things. The devil may want to close doorstighter that you may not be able to force it open, ofbut you are not to struggle with the devil, for hecannot change the plane of God for you. God is theopener of every door. The devil fights and gets tiredand sneaks away. Shamelessly every door that closesopens at the appearance of Christ. The devil maybring affliction, but he cannot stop your promotion.God’s purpose in your life is divine, it is unique, itis sure that nothing can stop it. One thing is thatthere may be many disappointments on your way, butGod’s deliverance comes in as many times as theafflictions or disappointments strike. Remember thedevil is not tired; he is always convinced that hewill pull you down one day. His work is such asfailed one, he fights a lost battle, and he cannot winyou. Will you accept such a defeat from such anidiot? He has a vision, and that is to stop you frombeing what God has purposed for you. If you accept,it will happen. If you say no, he cannot go beyondGod’s boundary line. God is our strength in time oftrouble. He is our Protector, who is worthy to bepraised. He is every thing to us. Psalm 18:1-3.

IT’S TIME TO RISE!.

DO NOT KILL YOURSELF!

Various disappointments that some people went throughand refused to live had been experienced by others whosaw them as sacrifices or avenues of becoming greaterthan before. When you are with a seriousdisappointment aimed at jeopardizing your goodintentions, set a standard for yourself, resolvingthat no ill-wind can blow you away. You can neverrealize what is embedded in you until you have foughtin any battle and won. The more battles, you fightthe stronger and brighter you become. The moreexperienced you are in these battles, the morevictorious you become. As a man of God, as a leader,

I have gone through many temptations and trials thathave taught me to look at problems as nothing. Thedevil will always want you to be running up and down,panicking and troubled. While others are panicking, Iwill simply see it as a normal way of life. OnePastor made a statement that has continuallyreinforced my determination to fight the devil. Hesaid, “When the devil tries to tell you that yoursituation is so bad; that it has no solution, tell himthat “Some-times things are like that”, and thatothers have gone through similar situations and cameout fine. This way the devil will leave you. Thedevil is a deceiver, he is just seeking whom he maydevour, refuse him and do not allow him to devour you. Miriam and other woman of Israel were singing andpraying for their victory against Pharaoh’s chariotsat the Red sea when another problem struck them in thewilderness lack of water for three days, the onlywater found was bitter. But when they cried andshouted against Moses, he cried to God and Heintervened,Exodus 15:21-27. What do you think about it?

DYING BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS? NO WAY.

A trader decided to take his own life by jumpinginto a raging fire which entered his store during amajor fire disaster. He perished alongside with hisgoods, leaving his family behind in distress. Othervictims of the fire incident who had differentapproaches to the unfortunate circumstance startedlife all over again, and today they are much betterthan they were before the fire outbreak. We live in aworld that is full of infringes are uncertainties Aworld that moved blessings and changing situation andcircumstances. But God never changes. You may begoing through tough times right now, but God is incharge of your life, God will rise to your salvation,He will rise to deliver you and you will glorify Him.Listen, God has never change, but it is your problemthat will change. God is always on the throne; Hewill be there and dethrone your problem from itsthrone. Of course it is finished said our Lord JesusChrist. You must learn how to laugh at your problems,despise them, and belittle them. The Lord is not farfrom you; if you act He will respond.

HIGH FIRE VS LOW FIRE

YOU CAN CHANGE, BUT HE CHANGETH NOT

There is a change coming your way. The only thing youmust know is that it is only God that cannot change,but every other thing that has built a strongfoundation against you must have to change. Stopcrying, stop weeping, Jesus told the woman of Nain,the same message is for you today. Your resurrectionis sure in Jesus Name. Luke 7:11-16.

One thing is to speak about faith, but another thingis to put it into practice. If you listen to God’sword without acting on it, it will do you nothing. IfJesus was able to put smiles on the face of the womanof Nain He can do the same for you if you believe.Build a strong hold against them Kingdom of darkness,reject their plans, fight against them and yourvictory is assured. You are a winner, and not aloser, the head and not beneath in the Name of Jesus.

CHAPTER 3

DISAPPOINTMENT SATAN’S WEAPON TO STOP YOU

Disappointments are great instruments in the hands ofthe devil to stop whoever that allows him. He usesthem plants seeds of fears and water them until theygrow into doubts and unbelief. You may lose your job,your car, business or precious things which, as amatter of fact are painful experiences, but the Lordhas a better plan at the end of every temptation.

My brethren count it all Joy when ye fall into diversetemptations: Knowing this, that the trying of yourfaith worketh patience. But let patience have herperfect work, they’ve may be perfect and entire,wanting nothing.James 1:2-4.

The only person that can dictate your future is God;whatever He says is already established before webegin to apply them. We only rely on the alreadyfinished work of Christ. Nothing can oppose what Godis doing without being crushed. A lot of people thinkthey can fight the children of God, especially thefinancially handicapped ones, they threaten, cajoleand jeer at them, but at the end you see thoseunbelievers falling like pack of cards. Job 20:5-16. There are times of trials, a time the devil seems tobe on top, but he is never on top. He is a liar; heonly roars like a lion, he tries to show people whathe is not. He wants people to believe that with himall things are possible, but through these deceptivetendencies, he has kept many in his prison. Beloved,no matter the problem you are facing now, count it alljoy. The Lord will rise to show the devil that he hasno place in your formation and making. The Lord willrise for deliverance; He will rise for your safety.The devil barks like a toothless bull-dog. Just likea wounded lion, limping about. Though the sight of itmay be frightening, but the great lion dribbled. Itcan only roar but cannot devour anybody. Only believe. Be faithful in the Lord and your full triumphing likeENOCH, NOAH, ABRAHAM will manifest. (Heb 11:1-9).You better stand your ground and confirm what Christhas done for you.

The devil is just trying to show his former glorybefore he failed, but God has taken away all thosepower and authority. Hebrew 2: 14-15.

FIGHT AND WIN

YOU ARE QUALIFIED FOR PROMOTION

Do you know that your problem qualifies you for amiracle? If the devil knows that the problem he isbringing to you will give you promotion, he would nothave attempted to come near with it. If he knows thatthe disappointment he planned will bring to you a newappointment from heaven, he will withdraw. Listen,turn your stumbling blocks to stepping-stones, andturn the centre of your problem to a place of solutionto others. Have you ever assured that a particularproblem you are going through is for a new identify,that is God wants to bring out a new you. You mustknow that God is watching your attitude now to knowwhat you will do.

You may have failed once in life, I have also failedonce and even more, but these failures did notdiscourage me. Failures and disappointments are usedby the devil as tools for discouragement. He onlywants you to dwell in negative thoughts, to believethat God hates you and has nothing to do with you.Many have said, God killed my father, mother, aunt orcousin, for that reason I have nothing to do with God. Why did he allow my loved ones to die, I will neverworship him, but you are wrong. God did not nothingwrong. The devil killed your parents and relations.

You may begin to wonder, as unbelievers whether Godtraveled when Satan took advantage of his absence andkilled your loved ones. Resist the devil and hisplans. Turn to God for a perfect change; I know Hewill never forsake you.

The devil makes some people to be removed fromoffice, and makes them believe that their Director,must have instigated the sack, he will tell them goand eliminate your Director, it is also possible for adirector to plan such but you must know the devil isbehind it. The devil is not tired of fighting againsta child of God, he is ready to fight until you bow tohim. One thing is sure, the more you fear him themore he presses you to the wall. You must be ready tostand firm and fight against the plans of the devilagainst your life. Except you take a strong standagainst the devil, you may not know what to do inlife. Listen, you may end up becoming nothing if youkeep on believing that you can live at the mercy ofthe devil.

SLEEP, WHILE HE WATCHES

“And we know that all things works together for goodto them that love God, to them who are calledaccording to his purpose.

Romans 8:28.“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace

with God through our Lord Jesus Christ! By whom alsowe have access by faith into this grace wherein westand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Andnot only so, but we glory in tribulations also:knowing that tribulation worketh patience; andpatience, experience, and experience hope: And hopemaketh not ashamed…

Romans 5: 1-5.Whatsoever comes your way has a purpose to achieve inyou, you must learn to discern and diagnose yourproblem and know why and where it emanates from.Nothing can give you success in life like standingfirm in times of trouble. Every temptation, trial ortempest has an end, no problem is everlasting. Whenrain begins to fall, it’s torrents are usually heavy,but after a while, it begins to subside graduallyuntil everywhere becomes calm. You must realize thatthe devil is only working to stop you in life, he isnot happy that you are doing fine or progressing inany area of endeavour. He is only out to cause havocin people’s life so that they will disbelieve God. Heuses disappointments as his strong weapons to stopyou. May be some one has disappointed you, even themost respected person or the person you trusted most,but all these things are to dissuade you from obeyingGod. When disappointments are wrongly handled, youwill remain bitter all the days of your life. Somepeople do not even forgive themselves. Learn toforgive yourself after God has worked in your life.You can be free, happily free.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary thedevil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whomhe may devour: Who resist steadfast in the faith,knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished inyour brethren that are in the world.

1Peter 5:8-9.

REFUSE TO FALL WHERE OTHERS FAILED

If you are not vigilant, you will be able to identifythe enemy’s operational base. He uses the subtlestway to attack after all his disappointments. Hepresents a lot of dangerous options before you, ofcourse things that will discourage and frustrate youin life. The devil always leads people to believethat there is no available means of coming out oftheir problems. He will give you instances ofimpossible situations, just to discourage you frommaking genuine efforts towards solving your problems.He makes you some times to believe that no one willlove you again and that your image or reputations istarnished every where so much that no one will evenlike to associate with you again. You have heard that

many have committed suicide because that was the onlysolution the devil offered them. The devil is alwaysseeking whom to devour, but I know that is not yourportion. Listen, no matter how you are ridiculed, andseen as nothing, the enemy is fighting against yoursoul, he wants to kick you out of the faith complete.Remember, for you to be exalted, you must be insulted.

RISE BEYOND SATANIC ARROWS

….. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee, so thatwe may boldly say, the lord is my helper, and I willnot fear what man shall do unto me.Hebrews 13:5-6.

We must know that he that promised not to leave usnor forsake us is God, not human. He has all thepower, he has everything. He wants to prove to thosearound that he is our helper. Most of the time weonly recognize God when we are in trouble and afterthat we go our way. Time has come for us to know thatthe devil is seeking a way to bring us to himself.Your life is under the blood of Christ who protectsyou from every danger. Who then can take you awayfrom his hands and destroy you? “God is not a manthat should lie neither that son of man that he shouldrepent: hath he said and shall he not do it or hath hespoken, and shall he not make it good”Numbers 23:19. He is divinely committed to his word; He knows ourtrust on him.You can decide to change what you are doing to faceanother thing, sometimes we are so used to what isaround us that God says change now and we no, butthen he wants to promote us. He wants to elevate us.He wants to change our destiny. God is your father,surely, he thinks about you and you will ever succeed. The places where others fail may be your gold mine.Your faith and commitment to God may likely changeyour future and put smiles on your face. You areforever destined to prosper; the devil can see theworks of the enemy prosper in your life any longer inthe Name of Jesus Christ.

RESIST, I SAY RESIST

CHAPTER 4

GOD’S WEAPON OF UPLIFTMENT

For thus saith the Lord, that after seventy years beaccomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and performmy good word toward you, in causing you to return tothis place.

“For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,saith the Lord, thought of peace, and not of evil, togive you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me,and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearkenunto you. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord:and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gatheryou from all the nations, and from all the placeswhither I have driven you, satih the Lord: and I willbring you again into the place whence I caused you tobe carried away captive.Jeremiah 29:10-14.God was speaking to his children, the Israelites here. He was giving them a word of comfort because oftheir afflictions which was caused by their sins.They were driven away from their nation in order to bepurified for a holy living and after that the Lordwill bring them back again. Watch your heart and seewhether there is something wrong. You may have hiddenthings that may trouble you tomorrow. Think twice,think again.

Many of us have gotten many problems because of oursins, and many have disobeyed the lord because oftheir worldly desires, but one thing is very sure, Godis always watching over His word to accomplish Hispromises and goodness in our lives. When He chastisesus, He expects us to come back to him in fullrepentance. God’s chastisement is a part of His workto keep us close to him. Immediately we begin to goastray from the Lord, many problems begin to come ourway, and if we do not return to him, He is ready tocreate greater problems that will stop every thing weare doing. We have just seen the example in the lifeof the Israelites the chosen people of God. We arenot different from them, God treats us the same way Hetreated them, the difference is that we are in thetime of Grace, which is not a license to commit sinwith impunity.

While God expects His children to come back, He makesbigger plans for success, as we have read from theabove quotations. Always. The devil does not want usto appreciate the loving compassion of our heavenlyFather; he directs our thoughts behold negativeimpressions about God, encouraging us to sink deeperin sin. God uses problems to bring us back to himselffor greater fulfillment. He is an all wise God, He

uses unusual circumstances to speak to His children.

ONLY GOD CAN DO IT RIGHT

HE KNOWS IT ALL - HE CARES

God wants us to know that he loves us, whatever comesour way is for our good and for a greater future. Godknows before any thing happens, nothing takes himunawares. Any problem you overcome today will nevertry to come again since you know you must bevictorious just like the previous time. There is nodisappointment that comes our way without passingbefore the eyes of our God, He sees everything as thedevil plans them, but he allows them to work outbetter things, they are for our promotion. When youunderstand God, you will begin to see Him in bad lightif any problem comes your way…. God makes way for yourvictory today so that the same problem can presentitself as a loser tomorrow. Find solutions todisappointments is never to stop your plan or withdrawfrom the things you are doing, but to step forward andfearlessly. Withdrawing when disappointment sets inmeans you are not mature enough to face the battlethat brings positive results.Do not think that what happened to you yesterday canstop God’s intentions for today, whatever he says willhappen, must happen. The afflictions of yesterday cannever stop God’s miracles for today. Learn to hinderyour hindrances, and everything that opposes your lifemust be opposed. You can create an obstacle for anythat comes as an obstacle in your life, God is behindyou.

NO FEAR - NO PANIC

You can still rise up through the same stone that madeyou to stumble. There are still open doors,breakthroughs, opportunities despite thedisappointments, affliction and trouble posed againstyou. Do not allow fears to come in, if you do that,you have failed completely. Fear is an enemy ofopportunities and future success. When you fear, itsimply means you are saying no to success andbreakthroughs.

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength issmall. Proverbs 24:10.

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this peopleshalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which Isware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thoustrong and very courageous, that thou mayest observeto do according to all the law, which Moses my servantcommanded thee; turn not from it to the right hand orto the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoeverthou goest. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong andbe good courage, be not afraid, neither be thoudismayed: for the Lord thy God is with theeWithersoever thou goest.

Joshua 1:6-7,9.

The Lord was encouraging Joshua not to be afraidbecause of the things that will happen on the way, ofcourse there will be battles, but victory is alwayssure no matter how fierce it may be. Psalm30:5,11-12.

MAN’S REJECTION IS NOT GOD’S REJECTION

A company staff came to work one morning and found aletter terminating her appointment conspicuouslydisplayed on the Notice Board. As she moved closer tothe board, hot tears started rolling down her checks.Her colleagues consoled her and later advised her tosee their Director who may decide to reconsider herfor reinstatement. As a believer, she refused to seeanybody, preferring to go to the supreme Director, theMost High God. Her prayer was simple and straightforward;

“Dear God, if it is your wish that I should continuewith this company, let them recall me, if not, pleaseprovide for me an alternative job”.Within a short while, God answered her prayer and gaveher a better employment -good salary, housing andother fringe benefits. Praise God”Earlier, she may have taught that she wasdisappointed, only to realize that God decided toappoint her. That could be your case, but the Lord ison the throne to intervene in your matter. May be Godwants you to change your business, but you have notbeen careful to listen, then He stopped you in orderfor you to have a better business. Use everyopportunity no matter how bad you think it is to workout good things for your life. Do not allow the devilto take upper hands, you may misunderstand God and runinto trouble because you do not know that God isworking out something better for you.

Psalm 118:22-24.

JEHOVA-THE GREAT DELIVERER

The happenings around you may carry many tears withother things but they can never stop the planning’s ofGreat Jehovah. You cannot lose in this battle; thereis greater power behind you than they of theirs. 1John 4:4. If you decide to stop worshipping God because youhave some problems, it means you came to God becauseof miracles, Isaiah 43:2. Beloved, God’s decisionover your life is final, ignore whatever is happeningto you now and see what God is planning for you.

Blessed be God, even the father of our Lord JesusChrist, the father of mercies and the God of allcomfort. Who comforteth us in all our tribulationthat we may be able to comfort them which are in anytrouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves arecomforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christabound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth byChrist.

2 Cor. 1:3-5.Sometimes one is suspended because of one thing or theother that the devil has planted in his life, then thedevil tells him there is no more hope for him and thatno one loves him. Such a person is disappointed inlife and he feels there is no more way of escape andthat the world has come to an end, but one thing istrue about such people God is working out greatblessing for them. The same is the case of those thatare excommunicated. Some people have killed themselvesbecause of such things, but I there is no need ofdying in such case. There is still a way out. I amnot encouraging sin here, what I am saying is thatthose souls belong to God, but the devil has decidedto kill them completely and send them to hell. We canstill bring them back to the Lord through compassion.

Gal.6:1-3. Beloved, do not kill yourself, there are stillbetter things ahead than the rough life you entered.All you need is to reject the devil, show God a truelove by the way you now treat sin and the devil.God allows you to pass through that rough road so thatyou can come to a level land. When you go astray, Godbrings you back through roughness. He does not permitsin but when you are carried away He knows it, but Hewants you back, that will not be easy since you haveto pay for your disobedience.

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speakethunto you as children, My son, despise not thou the

chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou artrebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth hechasteneth, scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Ifye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as withsons; for what son is he whom the father chastenethnot? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof allare partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.Furthermore we have had fathers of ours flesh whichcorrected us and we gave them reverence: shall we notmuch rather be in subjection unto the Father ofspirits, and live? For they verily for a few dayschastened us after their own pleasure, but he for ourprofit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.Now no chasteneing for the present seemeth to bejoyous, but grievous, nevertheless afterward ityieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness untothem which are exercised thereby. Hebrew 12:5-11.

LIGHT INSPITE OF SURROUNDING DARKNESS

Many have gone to hell because there was nobody toencourage and bring them back to faith. Though God isdealing with them, but they still need humaninstruments to help them. There are many people weneed to help in order to overcome all that the devilhas pushed them in. you too may be carried away intoone thing or the other, it could be any problem butyou need people to tell you “ we love you.” Some families have lost their children, some youngcouples have either lost a husband or wife, somepeople have lost their job in strange circumstance,some because of what happened to them lost theircredibility, others lost their businesses, but thesethings should not be reasons for abandoning the faithor seeking for death. What happened to you can be anencouragement for some other people that may passthrough the same way tomorrow. Someone may say,pastor you don’t understand, I lost my onlybreadwinner and helper in life, he is all to me, whatcan I do now? But you must know that it is better totrust in the Lord than to put confidence either inman, kings and nobles. People who pass through aparticular problem need to understand that God isstill working on their behalf.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness……..

Psalm 112:49.Do you see the scripture above? It is for you. Whatyou assume to be the end of life is indeed the

beginning of a new era. The beginning of new hope foryou. Prepare to begin your reign as a King: God ispreparing a crown for you here before you get toheaven. Surely He will never allow you to be trampledupon.We must show love to those that are passing throughtrials and many problems psalm 41:1-3. It may be ourturn tomorrow. You may say God forbid! But listen,temptations and trials are not meant for a particularperson. Sometimes they come to prove your faithfulnesstowards God. We must learn to pray for themceaselessly and find time to meet with them with theword of God to speak personally with them, sometimeswe may even go with someone to encourage them. We needto give out material things and money too, just topractically say, “I love you”.

God is really waiting and expecting us to give hope tothose that are passing through hard times in life,they need our prayers and greater assurances thattheir situation can be changed through the word wespeak to them. They can do better as we begin to givethem hope through the word of prayer. If we love thelife of others and their future, we must giveourselves to seek their welfare, upliftment andsurvival in times of trouble.

Cast not away therefore your confidence which hathgreat recompence of reward. For ye have need ofpatience, that, after ye have done the will of God, yemight receive the promise. (Hebrews 10:35-36).The promises of God are established in heaven nomatter the trouble that comes our way, we must hold onto them and also use them to lift up the feeble ones.We must not allow the devil to have a total controlover our brethren withstand the devil. Ezekiel 22:30.Beloved, l know that there are problems that dries upour throat or even make us dumb, and it seems we areconfused, but God is still in that trouble with us.He will never leave us nor forsake us as we standdaily following him.

Many sisters and brothers have been disappointed bytheir wives or husbands to-be, and it was as if theend of the world has come, but at the Many sistersand brothers have been disappointed by their wives orhusbands to-be, and it was as if the end of the world

has come, but at the end God has shown them why.Sometimes it is the devil that has come fordestruction and many have allowed him to have his wayand they continue to accuse one another because theyhave not taken time to seek the face of God to knowwhy such has taken place. In all, God is still on thethrone.

And we know that all things work together for good tothem that love God, to them who are called accordingto his purpose. (Romans 8:28).

Sometimes the sister is getting old and her attributeto God is becoming lukewarm. She needs counselling,the prayers of fellow brethren and also a closediscussion with the Pastor or Shepherd. It has beenproved that water spirits or witchcrafts have beenresponsible for such a backslide, and sometimesplanned by mischief makers in the church. Someone mayask; what will such a sister do? Waiting upon theLord is the answer. God is faithful; He has anappointed time for those who cry before him day andnight.Many a sister or brother has found a brother partnerafter such disappointment, because the Lord is therewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Brother,sister, God has a better fellow for you. Today may bevery dark but it will never stop God from releasingHis glory.

The things that have happened to you yesterday cannever stop God’s miracles for today. The devil mayhave touched or fought against your yesterday, buttoday is in the hand of the Lord to prosper you. Thebad feelings of the past failures can stop you fromlooking afresh to see new things to achieve. God’sdetermined purpose and plans cannot be stopped by thedevil. Listen, Esther became a Queen in a land ofcaptivity. She was brought up by her Uncle when shelost her parents. An orphan becoming a Queen. She mayhave cried so much when the parents died, thinking theend had come , but she became a Queen. SmithWigglesworth came out of a very poor family that couldnot feed themselves but he trusted the Lord fromchildhood and he became the greatest preacher of histime. Though not educated, and could not speak verywell, he refused to be crushed by those impedimentsand the Lord used him wonderfully

CHAPTER 5

DISAPPOINTMENT: A WAY UP

Nothing has the right to stop you from being what Godhas in mind for you, I nothing, absolutely nothing.When problems come our way to stop us, God still havesome better ideas that can still keep us alive in him. We can’t really succeed in life if we keep onthinking of what has happened to us in the past. Wecan reflect to them to know the areas we much notattempt again, but not to keep on thinking on them tostop us from going forward for new things ahead of us.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and fullof trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cutdown: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. Oh that thou wouldest keep me in the grave, that thouwouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, thatwouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If aman die, shall he live again? All the days of myappointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thoushalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have adesire to the work of thine hands.

Job 14: 1-2, 13-15.

DELIVERANCE IN TIMES OF DISASTER

This is a clear statement from Job who went throughtemptations. He suffered to the extent that peoplethought he would denounce God, but he continued untilGod visited him. No one can claim not to haveexperienced crises in his life. May be it did notcome to you directly, but it has happened to yourloved one that would have been of great help to you.It is the same thing, when people around you suffer italso affects you. Nevertheless, many of us have gonethrough series of troubles in life as the scripturehas said, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days,and full of trouble”. Job believed that there isalways a time of remembrance in the sight of God,problems don’t continue all the days of our life.When we are in trouble, groaning, God is preparing usto be great in life, he is making something better outof our lives. He can never fail us.

There are times when it seems that one is not inexistence, living in the grave, dead, without hope,forgotten by people, but the time of change comes whenpeople will say we never know that this person alsowill be great. May be your life for now is reallyworking contrary to what you believe, God is workingout a change for your great future. May the God thatchanges all impossibilities hear your voice in the

Name of Jesus.I have never believed that I will never succeed in

life. There are times when it seems that one is inthe grave, in darkness and in deep trouble, hiddenwithout recognition; It has happened to me severaltimes, but in all there was deliverance from God.One thing is that I have always believed that God willnever leave me without His divine elevation in thisworld. I can never die without people noticing myexistence and departure in this world. Wait untilyour time of change comes from the presence of God theFather.

And when neither sun nor stars in may days appeared,and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that weshould be saved was taken away. But after longabstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, andsaid Sirs, ye should have hearken unto me, and haveloosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm andloss. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: forthere shall be not loss of any man’s life among you,but of the ship. For there stood by me this nightthe angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought beforeCeasar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them thatsail with thee. Wherefore, Sirs, be of good cheer:for I believe God, that it shall be even as it wastold me.

Acts. 27:20-25

GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE

Have you been in a situation where every body aroundyou is against you, no advocate and no one at all onyour side; it has happened to many, it has alsohappened to me as a pastor several times. That is adark hour in the life of a man, a time you can thatyou are finished, yet life is springing up in a greatand wonderful way. A time that all fingers are beingpointed against you, are being called all kinds ofnames and people around see you like a foot mat, it isnot an easy time, but God uses such a time to work outgreat thing to his owe glory. Paul’s words were looked down because he was aprisoner and no prisoner has right of his owe to dowhat he will. Here, he was a man who did nothing badyet because of the kingdom of God he was takencaptive, may be you are right now found in the samesituation, but God will give you deliverance. Headvised the people that were taking him captive, butthey refused to listen, and it brought them to a greatdanger, nevertheless Gods sent an angel to speak tothe same person they rejected. He gave them hope, hetold them to be of good cheers, though they are in

jeopardy, but he was very sure of God’s deliveranceand protection. For many days there was neither sunnor stars, darkness filled everywhere but Godintervened. Sometimes it is like that, a time ofhopelessness, time of discouragement, time ofdespair, but in all these times God is on the throne. When you speak of the power of his resurrection,remember the fellowship of Christ suffering which leadto his death. This is hard to understand, but it’s anexperience we will never overlook. There was deathbefore resurrection power. Phil. 3:10

If the past was filled with problems, it does not meanall the days of your life will be filled withdarkness. The past is gone and the future must beentered with the spirit of expectation. You mustbelieve that there will be a divine visitation. Godis still in the business of performing miracles.

The miracles of God for his children are alwaysavailable; God can use you to deliver thousands ofpeople. Your life can be an encouragement to thoseto live longer than they ought to live. Stress,depression and over thinking can destroy one’s life.Paul was not carried away by what was happening, Godhas spoken to him and he is assured of the word of hisfather. He knows that promotion comes afterexamination, though examination make the heart sick,but joy comes on the day of promotion. I have lookedup to someone to help, I will just burst instead hegave a lot of excuses, then the Lord will tell me, canyou turn to me now for that give me specific directionon what to do and the problem will be over. Psalm118:8-9. When men disappoint you, look up to the livingGod. He will never fail you. But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, oJacob , and he that formed thee, o Israel, fear not :for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thyname: thou art mine. When thou passeth through thewaters I will be with thee; and through the rivers,they shall not overflow thee:when thou walkest throughthe fire, thou shalt not be burned : neither shall theflame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:1-2.

YOUR NAME IS ON GOD’S MIRACLE LIST

To upset yourself when God is by you fighting isto limit the power of your maker. God has fought manybattles for me and I see myself laughing again. Manyof the people that get saved in times of trouble arepeople who do not struggle in fear. The people inthe ship that was carrying Paul were struggling to runaway, and they were informed that if they escape fromthe ship they will die. God was in the ship, even ifit breaks, God was still in control of the lives ofthe people because he has that through his servant,Acts. 27:27-32. God is ready to give you any kind ofprotection, on matter where both in the air, in thesea and on the land. God is saved the three Hebrewschildren in the fire, He entered into the fire withthem to keep them safe from harm. Daniel 3:19-30.After the children were tried by fire, they came outand were promoted in the Kingdom.

The arrows of the wicked aimed at you will turn backto the sender for vengeance. Your own is to rest andsee your God fight for you, the same people that sangpraise as at your down fall will come to the rising ofyour second promotion. Enlarge your coast and receivethem that thought you are dead. Give them to eat. Surethey will come back to you.

Sure we know that those who no not care about faithhave nothing to fight for the impossible to happen intheir lives. They look for cheap things to take place,they remain in the natural every day, they havenothing with the supernatural. Of course, you cannotgo beyond what you faith can carry for you. Do youfear troubles, do you fear problems, they may be ofany kind, then you can never have faith enough to walkin life. Without faith it is impossible to please God.Hebrews 11:6. You must then have faith, speak faithand live faith . May the lord help you in Jesus Name.Paul was exhorting the people in the same ship to eatfood; they have stayed for many days without food,complete fourteen days. They were afraid, but Paul wasnot afraid, he encourages them to eat food. Acts.27:33-36. Beloved, do not think that the end of theworld has come to you, that problem you have now willmake a way for great things of God to come your way.Handle your matter with courage and allow God to takeover, ‘’Casting all your cares upon him for he carethfor you’’ 1 peter5:7. That problem is for a while,

soon your Laughter will appear like the sunshine, andeveryone around will then know that you have a livingGod who can never disappoint in time of trouble.

CLING STILL ON HIM

He shall call upon me and I answer him; I will deliverhim, and honour him.Psalm 91:15.And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliverthee, and thou shalt glorify me.Psalm50:15.Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew theegreat and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jer.33:3.Do you need great things from God whereas it seems youare not heading anywhere? Watchout, the time youthought wasted are moment of grooming. The next thingyou will hear is that your divine connection is comecling still on him, believe and you will see the gloryof God.

A young lady came to my office once withtuberculoses, and the devil wanted to stop me fromministering to her, but God gave me courage and afterpraying for her, she was asked to go for a test andshe was found whole, she told the doctor this is aprayer, and the doctor said it is only miracle thatcan heal that way. All we need to do is call on himthat has all the power to do all things. The AlmightyGod, He controls all the power of the universe.Psalm 30:5, 11-12

God did not say come and help me, He says come and bedelivered from your problem. Call on me, at any timeand hour you will be free. What a wonderful father wehave who has compassion to help us out inn times oftrouble. God stands wherever you stand except youbegin to go astray from what he has commanded us todo.

You have heard that without battle there is novictory, and God will never allow that one that isgreater than you come your way. He makes way ofescape.There hath no temptation taken you but such as is

common to man: But God is faithful, who will notsuffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; butwill with the temptation also make a way to escape,that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Cor. 10:13.Jesus has rightly said that without Him we can donothing in this life. He is the power behindeverything we do, He support us in our steps so as tomake good end. He knows what we can bear, and heknows those things that can take us out of faith. Hewill never allow us to be tempted above measure, thedevil is under His control, He can stop him from allhis plans against us when he wills. He knows all theroad to suffering and how to come out of them, He isour maker and God. Every problem that comes your waymakes you more stronger than before, it also releasethe power of God that is in you to be more active thanwhat it use to be.

If you want to be an achiever in this world, you mustbe ready to go through all kinds of oppositions,hindrances, attacks, false accusations, both fromthose around you and people from afar. Men willrevile you, they will speak all kinds of evil againstyou to mar your image. Many people have been victimsof things like this several times, and they decided tothrow in the towel, discouraged and discontinued intheir vision. Is that vision or business from God,pick it up and continue, God is in control. Someclose associates have spoken all kinds of evil to marthe image of those that are trusted or cherished bytheir leaders because they want to be on top, ofcourse they can be on top without destroying theirfellow human being through evil speaking, but this isthe manipulations of the devil in the church today.It also happens in business circles where people fightothers to be on top, you know that is building on thesand, sinking sand, why you encounter such thing,forgiveness is the command of our Lord if you needyour open door in life.

Christ spent His time preparing Judas to be a miracleworker, but Judas spent his time looking for Christ’sdeath and destruction. He sold the son of God, yettoday Christ is on the throne of his Father, sittingat the right hand, but Judas is in hell firelanguishing for eternity. His evil for Christ wasturned for His own good and enthronement. May be youhave been sold for nothing, or already you are passingthrough a terrible experience, God is about rescuingyou for your greatness to come. May be you have triedmuch to be free from that situation and all was foundabortive, yet God’s plan for you cannot be aborted, nomatter how your enemies try to harness themselves andincrease your furnace to burn you down but remember,without tears there will be no testimony. A pastor

took poison and died, declaring that his wife and somechurch members contributed to his death. I know Godspoke to him and he rejected the voice of God. SureGod is not interested in such abominable death. I amnot judging him but you must not take away your lifethat is suicide. Such people will not inherit theKingdom of God. There is always a solution from God,and if solution tarries to come, wait for it. Godwill surely see you through in every situation oflife. Miracles have never ceased to happen, if Godhas done it for another person He will also do it foryou. It is not time to die, but it is time to reachforth into greater heights of life.

Your tears will son be changes into great joy oftriumph. It happened to Joseph but his brethren laterserved him, those that hate you will soon hail yourgreatness or if not they will see others hailing you,they will join in hypocrisy. If any one have laughedyou, He will still look on you on the throne preparedby Christ for your majesty and greatness in this worldbefore the real kingdom of Christ come. Your enemieswill do on serve you in the name of Jesus Christ.

A young man decided to kill him self by jumping intoRiver Benue because of much problems, something fromthe inside told him that he should look around theworld before jumping in, the same thing repeated againthree times, and after that he heard a voice thatsaid, “do not jump in.” That was the voice of God,from that day he changed. For him he has come to theend of life, but God told him this is just thebeginning of life. He is today a preacher goingeverywhere leading souls into the kingdom of God. Maybe the whole world is now against you and problem hascome to your neck and you feel like dying, do not dieyour miracle is not far from you. I command yourmiracle to come fourth and reach you in the name ofJesus Christ. I destroy anything that has stopped yourmiracle all this while in the name of Jesus Christ.

Do not forget that the life in you is the seed forother people’s divine upliftment through you. Overcomeand make way for others. Many are depending on you.You may be the light your village, community or evenyour state is waiting for one day.

The light will soon appear and you will shine for manyto see. Only do not allow any sin to stand on yourway, because the sin you do not stop will soon stopyou from becoming what God has desired for you. Isa.

60:1-5.Look right deep into your spirit, that life you have

will not die until you triumph for the world to knowyour existence. Your passage In this universe must berecognized in Jesus name.

Once I was travelling back to my village from Onitshawhere I was living, during that time I have neverknown the Lord. As we started off the journey, on theway thieves entered in to the vehicle with gun andunknown to the driver as we stopped to pick anotherperson they put the gun inside a pigeon hole. Aftersome movement we were stopped by the police and thefirst place they opened was the place where the gunwas, all of us were arrested. Though I never knew God,but God intervened on my behalf.

Those thieves told the police to leave us it go thatwe were not a part of them . The police left thedriver with us to go. This was nothing but themiracle of God. He Knows that one day I am going to behis servant, he was guiding me in all my ways. Hisprotection was upon my life though I never knew it. Iwas panicking, for me there was no hope of escapeknowing the nation where we belong. But God came downto prove that he can deliver any one. Though afterthat I refuse to give myself to God, but finally Hecaught me in His mercy. Today, when I remember all Hehas done for me, I am filled with joy. Had thosethieves ever said we were in company with them, itcould have created havoc and disaster. Even if we areto be left after imprisonment, our name would havegone through the Newspapers. Maybe you are accusedfalsely over a matter, the Lord will never leave you,you may ask what of my name that has been spoiled?Mine too has been spoiled in some other ways but I amstill alife. Heaven has a better thing for you thanwhat the world gives. May the Lord help you tounderstand this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Hand itover to the Lord, He will never look down on you.
