THE HARBINGER

Oh! The future doesn't look sharp or visible at all...   It seems everywhere is clouded and you doubt if there is hope at all   With everything put in place, the struggle and effort, the future seems not bright   Listen to my story, and I trust the Spirit of our Father to grant you understanding   I was returning from one missionary journey one fateful morning   It was very early around 5:30am   I was on a bike from that village, we still have about 30minutes drive to get to the nearest tared road   The dew was so heavy that we can hardly see what was ahead of us   Even the headlamp as bright as it were wasn't seeing anything   But the bike man kept moving   Some minutes drive to the main road   was   when I heard...   Why are you bordered with the future?   Why are you so concerned about what tomorrow holds for you?   What is your concern about how you will get to that place I p...

2 Samuel 18:19 Now Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, "Let me run and take the news to the king that the LORD has vindicated him by delivering him from the hand of his enemies." 2 Samuel 18:20 "You are not the one to take the news today," Joab told him. "You may take the news another time, but you must not do so today, because the king's son is dead." 2 Samuel 18:21 Then Joab said to a Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." The Cushite bowed down before Joab and ran off. 2 Samuel 18:22 Ahimaaz son of Zadok again said to Joab, "Come what may, please let me run behind the Cushite." But Joab replied, "My son, why do you want to go? You don't have any news that will bring you a reward." 2 Samuel 18:23 He said, "Come what may, I want to run." So Joab said, "Run!" Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite. 2 Samuel 18:29-30 The king asked, "Is the young man Abs...

Grant us understanding Lord, that we may understand what you have for us. Thank you father... 🙇 👏 I was given a mobile phone to charge, the battery is very low. 3% to be precise. My own phone however needed to be recharged. The battery has dropped to 1%. The two mobile phone was connected to the available current/power outlet. *Same time*, *same charger* After about 30 minutes, I went to check, I saw something confusing. The other phone is already at 100% while mine is still at 30% I was beginning to think about what could have caused the other phone to be filled quickly and mine is still far and very far away. I removed the charger from the recharged one and plugged it to mine. I thought the other charger was faster than mine. After about 5 minutes, the charged phone dropped very fast to 29% and my phone refused to leave 31%. Son of man, understandeth thou this? This is what I heard in my Spirit. You represent your mobile phone, and other people around you represe...

And he yet told them another parable saying... Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 NLT Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. See this 👉🏻 I was to go on a trip with a senior brother. He want to show me where to get some materials at cheaper price, and I am to help him do some repair over there Our plan was to go on a Saturday morning, when the day came, I had only 240 naira note with me. I was to meet him at a certain location quite far from where I stay On getting to the location where I was to meet him, I had spent 200naira for transport, I am having 40 naira left with me My thinking was to let him know my financial status before we begin the journey to avoid embarrassment I didn't even border to tell him again when I remembered I had a thousand nair...

Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. We have come to a crucial point in our relationship that we need to critically cheek this as the Holy Spirit is laying in on my mind. It is a correct thing for any single above teen age to be concern about marriage. I am also awear that many reading this are in that stage. I am sure many of my reader has been educated about marriage, you have read books and listen to different messages on it especially those that are already engaged. I Want to quickly strike a point here, before they came together If you will have a Godly and a correct home, you need to understand this before you come together. In today's passage, there is something that is common to both partner that intend to come together. 👉🏻 Both of them are recognised by God. They are not just going ...

I went to refill my gas cylinder recently, the sight of what I saw baffles me and left me with many questions unanswered. This was what I saw: there was this cylinder that was brought to be refilled just like mine, but before the guy inserted the nuzzle of the gas, he had to 'waste' or release the remaining gas inside that cylinder. He did this for some seconds before he proceed in refilling it. After sometimes, the gas wasn't rushing in again as we could see it from the transparent pipe. He removed the nuzzle again, release some gas after a hard press then insert the nuzzle again. This continue till the paid volume is reached. What does this mean and how does it affect me: God doesn't fill a vessel that is filled already, he need to empty your cylinder if he will fill you with himself. Don't forget God is Spirit that needs a container to carry him. The devil is also a spiritual being, he also needs a vessel he will possess to fulfill his evil....

Matthew 26:69-73 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 71 And when he was gone out in to the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. For how long will you cause this confusion? For how long will you make us doubt that you are saved? You claim to have surrendered your life to Jesus, you said you are Born Again and you are a new creature, but your lifestyle did not confirms that, your way of life did not reflect Christ. Your mode of dressing does not say you are no longer with the world, your speech betrays your confession, your hairstyle contradict those that belongs to the kingdom. Don't you know there is a lifestyle that must commensurate your confession? Everything about you must confirm...

Esther 2:2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: There is a need to look into this matter even as we continue in our Christian Journey. I have come to discover many are not fit for the search, though they spend most of their days in church. There is a search for a wife for the King, to qualify you need to fit perfectly and possess these qualities: FAIR: Free from favoritism or self-interest or bias or deception; conforming with established standards or rules. I have always thought been fair is only to be light complexioned, and attractively beautiful, not until I discovered that to be fair is more than that, a person with right sense of judgement, both with God and man. We are not talking about makeup here or even makeover but a lady who is beautiful in and out, a lady whose outward beauty commensurates with that of the inward. We have seen many sisters today who are beautiful outwardly but ...

Esther 2:2 Then the king's personal attendants proposed, "Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king. We will continue with the criteria for fitting into the search vacancy. 👉🏻 YOUNG: The period of been young is not only a time of innocency but however a time to be made. The period of been young is the right time to be imbibed with the virtues and values of life. This is the period of formation, this is when things will be learnt easily and without stress. This period there is excess and enough strength to go extra mile, brain can be stretch at this period without problem. When you are young, its a time to be natured. Solomon lamented in Ecclesiastes 12:1 Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, "Life is not pleasant anymore." There is an excitement, joy pleasure, strength in been young. This time of youth is the time to learn. Seeth thou anyon...

Esther 2:2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: As we press further in looking for criteria that is been needed in the palace, we look at the next standard you must fit in to be qualified for the palace. We have recently looked into what it means to be FAIR and YOUNG. Now we will be looking at the third criteria 👉 VIRGINS Let me use this verse of the scripture to explain this: Matthew 19:12 For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it. The three types of virgin that exist and I trust God to help us examine ourselves are: i. There are people that are virgin not because they really wish to be, but they were born without such opportunities. These are the categories of people who from birth they are impotent, physically ch...

We looked previously into the difference between Truth and Facts, and we also learnt that there is a way to enter into the pen of the sheep, any other way apart from the door which is Jesus Christ is fake and not real, entering to Christ through Salvation is what we do deliberately and consciously. Briefly, let me tell you three things that happens at the door of Salvation. (That is where every sheep must enter through) I hope you know that without been saved you can't be part of the sheep in the pen of Jesus. At the door, There is voice registration: John 10:3-5...the sheep listen to his voice... and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice At the entrance, your voice must be registered in heaven and God's voice will be registered in your heart. If God will know your voice, if you will also know his voice, your voice must be registere...

John 10:1-5 "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." I want to point our attention to something in this passage, and I trust the Holy Spirit to grant us understanding. There is a difference between Truth and Fact! Fact may be found anywhere, and may be proven based on evidences, but Truth comes only from God. Not all Facts are Truth! Jesus is the truth, God will not tell you fact, but the Truth because Truth is life and a personality. John 1...

John 10:1-5 "Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know hi s voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." We previously examined some Truth and how it differs from Fact. How you must enter the sheep pen if God must recognize you. We also learnt that your Voice is been registered at the door. Let's move quickly to another thing that happens at the door of Salvation 👉🏻 There is NAME REGISTRATION: Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was...

I have come to discover that the devil can't defraud you without your permission. Yes, your permission is needed for anything serious to be carried out over your situation. Let me tell you this story A fraud is about to be carried out on my dad's bank account, those guys been an expert has completed their work on it, they have been communicating with my dad, he has disclosed many vital informations to them since they claim they are from his bank. T he last stage is to get the OTP from him and the deal is done. The OTP has been sent to him, those guys kept calling to get the code from him. That was when I come in. After explaining issue on ground to me, I picked the phone to speak with those guys. On hearing them, I know who they are. To be candid, those guys are professionals It was after the call my dad just believed and he shouted "John won ti gba mi ooo" (John, I have been duped) Thank God their transaction was not successful yet, or let...

John 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? John 1:23 He said, I am the voic e of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. Who are you? Is the question i am confronting you with this morning. Until you discover yourself, you will be living an aimless life, a life without target and focus. Have you come to discover that there was a prophecy written about you? There is a specific task you are created to fulfill. The host of hell knew that many Christians today have not discovered their self and u cant fulfill your mission on earth if you dont know who you are. Suffering is bound to continue, bitterness and pains will last longer, destinies and mandate will lie unfulfill because you have failed to know who you are. If you sing with Sinach from today till next year " I know who i am..." and you didn't take time and cry to him wh...

FUEL DISPENSER I was caught with the sight of this word boldly written in a newly renovated Filling Station in my area recently, I stopped to gaze at it for some minutes before I proceeded in my journey. About 6 of this dispenser was fixed to six different locations, the question that came up in heart was: Which of this dispensers is for DPK? (DUAL PURPOSE KEROSINE)? Can you recognise that of PMS? (PREMIUM MOTOR SPIRIT? P.K.A PETROL? Or do you know which of this dispensers that dispenses AGO? Automated Gas Oil P.K.A DIESEL? "From mere looking, I don't know" That was my reply You are correct! Then listen let me tell you this: Do you know that its the tank that each dispenser is connected to that will determine what it will dispense? If the first 4 dispensers are connected to PMS tank, that is what the nuzzles of the fuel dispensers will give out. Do you know it will be foolish on your path to be expecting DPK (Kerosine) from a dispenser that is con...

Know this, The blood of Jesus doesn't keep a man from committing sin, it only cleanses a man of sin. What now keep a man from sin? Did you just said GRACE? W hat Grace does? Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; The Blood cleanses from sin, Grace Teaches to flee from sin. Psalms 119:9-11 Young people can live a clean life by obeying your word. I worship you with all my heart. Don't let me walk away from your commands. I treasure your word above all else; it keeps me from sinning against you Is THE WORD that potent that it keeps a man from sin? We go to church today, and hear that same word, but it doesn't work for us abi it only work for some group of people ni? That a man is going to church, does it mean he had been known of Christ? A sharp cutlass in the hand of an inexperienced child will be blunt. (Am a living testimony to that). The sam...

That was the cry of a little girl carried in the arm of her father. I was so inquisitive to know the story behind her cry and it brought me to the point of prayer and resolution also, I hope it will do just that for you as well. This little girl was enjoying the warmth from her father's chest. You can imagine the affectionateness this little girl is getting from her dad, I don't know if you have also experienced it before? You feel relaxed, certain, l oved, important.... The list continues 😘 This poor girl was really enjoying all these when someone showed up to spoil the mood "Baby, take (that was a flashy color biscuit), let me carry you" These word and biscuit in her hand really stricken my heart, this poor girl is in a state of confusion just as we often find ourselves, this biscuit in her hand we want, our father's warmth we don't want to leave. Making this decision has been the big task we always engage in. When I am faced with si...
