…spreading the fragrance of His knowledge…
Many years ago, God taught me to stand in His truth about me – no matter what I saw or felt. Prior to that teaching, I would speak and believe the lies of the enemy based on my feelings, circumstances or performance:
If I had failed God in any area or didn’t perform up to par, it was over. No matter what the enemy threw at me, he was justified.
Then, I began to learn…and to experience the favour of God in unusual dimensions…
It happened again recently. I got up to have my devotion as usual. I already had a pattern in mind, so I knew what I wanted to do. Prior to this time, certain “inconsequential” things had been bothering me on the surface. I’d prayed about them lightly, but they still lingered around the borders ofContinue reading “Led By The Spirit…”
I recently listened to a message by Minister Lawrence Oyor.
He told how the late Apostle Ayo Babalola once shared about a certain minister who was mightily used by God and extremely spiritually powerful. He was so powerful that, anytime villages or communities heard he was coming around/to the area, they would bring out people who had been dead for days and even weeks – and he would raise them up from the dead in their various stages of decay…
Some years ago, I woke up one day hungry. Literally starving. I was so ravenous, I felt I could eat paint off the wall. That’s how hungry I was.
The only problem was that I was supposed to be fasting.
I was so hungry I didn’t think I could concentrate. However, I forced myself to open my Bible, then began to read hungrily…
A few weeks ago, I started to feel physically exhausted and sleepy. I knew I had been very busy, so I initially shrugged it off. I would lie down, then sleep off immediately. I am a very light sleeper, but these times, I would sleep deeply. I thought it was mental exhaustion from work and certain situations.
However, I started getting concerned when I started to feel sleepy during church service. That was really weird…
I once worked in an organization. I and my colleague had a high-end potential client we desperately wanted to convert into an actual one. His contract would run into the millions, and commissions would be huge.
We made calls. We made presentations. We spoke to the heads. We spoke to him. We prayed. We fasted – and I could see all the visible signs that we would get the contract. We had one final presentation – and the bag would be secured. We were so, so ready.
Then about two days before the presentation, my colleague and I had a blowout. A huge, massive, gigantic, spittle-flying, words-shooting blow-up…
Years ago, I was preparing to take the usual Sunday school class at church. The topic for that week was “The Whole Armour Of God”. It was/is a familiar topic – and I was ready to teach, raring to go. The scripture passage, of course, was taken from the popular Ephesians 6:11-18.
As was the usual practice, I was having my personal study at home before leaving for the general review at church when, suddenly, it was as if a veil was torn away – and I saw myself in the Spirit:
I was naked – having only the helmet of salvation on…
Have you ever thought to yourself: “I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea?”
Well, who told you the devil and the sea were your only options?
God had been teaching someone I know to walk by faith…
