A TOP NIGERIAN PASTORS WIFE SUES THE HUSBAND FOR ADULTRY

If this story is true then This is not good at all for the house of God. Just saw this article now and i am so feeling bad because ,those people we looking up to are the ones disappointing us. Please what ever we do as ministers of God let us at all times put the fear of God above every other thing. Accordibg to this report all i can deduce is Financial authority which to me shouldnt be work in hand with your call to serve.   God help us!!

The dissolution of the marriage between
Christ Embassy Church founder Pastor
Christian Oyakhilome and his wife, Rev.
Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome, has entered the
final phase, according to reports by online
newspaper TheCable yesterday. The wife is
seeking divorce on the grounds of
“unreasonable behaviour” and “adultery”.
She outlined several allegations against the
pastor . The divorce case, with Suit No
FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014, at
Divorce Section A, Central Family Court,
First Avenue House, High Holborn, London,
UK, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson
Hill Solicitors, a full-service law firm with
expertise in commercial law and a strong
consumer focus in family, wills and estate,
personal injury law and medical negligence.
Efforts to reconcile the popular couple,
whose church is one of the biggest
denominations in Nigeria and has branches
all over world, have failed. They have two
teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn.
Oyakhilome is the president of Believers’
Love World Inc, the registered name of the
Christian ministry, while his wife is the vice-
president. The pastor, according to an elder
of the church, has denied allegations of
adultery and believes his wife is being
influenced by “bad friends” who are intent
on destroying their home. While Anita
believes she has been relegated in the
scheme of things in the church, her husband
has reportedly accused her of trying to
usurp power and authority above her
seniors in the ministry. Sources told the
online publication that the pastor had been
making efforts to avoid divorce in the hope
that the wife would eventually have a
change of mind. However, the decree nissi
was served on the charismatic pastor in his
hotel room during a recent visit to the UK.
Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow
card in a football match which is a
precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”)
if no new evidence is provided to stall
proceedings. Church insiders said
Oyakhilome had been hoping for
rapprochement, but he was left with no
option than to receive the papers when the
lawyers cornered him at his hotel in London.
The decree absolute, which will effectively
end the marriage, is expected to be issued
soon while terms of the divorce will be
worked out by the lawyers on both sides.
According to the report, it was gathered that
Anita recently wanted to go public with the
details of her allegations against the
husband but reached an informal agreement
to sheathe her sword in the interest of the
church. Oyakhilome is regarded as one of
the richest and most influential pastors in
Nigeria, and co-authors the fast-selling
Christian daily devotional, Rhapsody of
Realities, with the wife. However, following
the strain in the marriage, the wife had been
complaining to friends that her husband had
stopped the payment of royalties due her
from the devotional. “She complained of
being deliberately starved of funds, perhaps
to bring her to her knees in the belief that
she would eventually return to her
matrimonial home and mend things,” a
church member told TheCable in the UK. A
wealthy Zimbabwean businessman, who is
into telecoms, is one of the biggest
financiers of the London branch of the
church which Anita pastors along with other
branches in Europe. When the crisis got to a
head, the Zimbabwean stopped.

BAD PARENTING: THE BANE OF HUMANITY




Children are special gifts from God. They are divine responsibility from God to man.

Our children are the direct image of our self’s, as we are direct images of God. What ever you put towards our children is what directs them and guilds them through in life.

Most Of Our Problems in Life is based on the fact that we fail to know how to get on with children. You only ask God to give you children, but you do not know how to bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God.

If I tell you the task involved in caring for and bringing up children, you will realize what great task we parents have. Among the whites, one who is a millionaire is satisfied with a lone child, because his preoccupation is how to bring up that child in a proper way.

It is not difficult to rear children; rather what is difficult is how to nurture them in the knowledge of God. The trouble of many parents arises from shabby and maltreatment they mete out to their children.

We often complain that your child is useless and is not worth anything. we also complain that our children do not know God. Who is responsible for this? we the parents should be blamed for it.
You say you want to serve God, and that if you were to see God that you would do everything for Him. The little children sent to you are the likeness of God therefore whatever services you would have rendered to god, render unto these children.
If you want this world to be good, you have to get along with children, with good attitude. Do not curse them, always bless them, be simple, tolerant, loving, show mercy and peaceful attitudes. Use humility to lead them to the type of life God wants them to live.
Realize that whatever you do to a child, he will grow up with it. If you beat, curse or torture him, he will copy the same attitude. And when he becomes a parent, he will apply the same attitude. If we continue with such attitudes, when do you think the world would be reformed?
 The father of Abraham did not know that his son will become the father of many nations. Was he himself the father of many nations? When the mother of Moses delivered Moses, did she know that Moses would be the person to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt?
 When Mary delivered Jesus, did she know that Jesus would be the Christ, Messiah, and the supreme Ruler of the universe?

 I cannot enumerate all the good things, which have been done by men born of good parents. We should help the children, supply what they lack and see if they would not be reformed.
 In LUKE 18:16-17 and it reads,
"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Our Lord Jesus Christ advises us not to forsake the little ones, because the kingdom of God is like them. What lesson has Our Lord Jesus Christ now taught us?
If Christ went as far as knowing and recognizing little children, holding them up and blessing them, then every person should be aware of the significance of blessing children.

That blessing bestowed on little children by Our Lord Jesus Christ has passed on to all children in the world till today.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the friend of little children; He walks with them, converses with them, sings with them and blesses them.

 Let us emulate Our Lord Jesus Christ by feeling free to talk to children, eating with them, singing and conversing with them.

 It is wrong to say you have no child, what about all the children around, who owns them? They are the children of God. If they are God's children, they are your children. Therefore you should care for them.

We therefore have a responsibility for all little children. You are indebted to God unless you nurture them in the fear and knowledge of god.
At all times bless your children,I do not only mean blessing them with wealth when you build houses for them, buy new clothes for them and prepare delicious food for them, but you should BLESS THEM WITH THE WORDS OF GOD.

You have to teach, guide and love them, whether they are your own children or children of other parents. If you do this you will receive blessings from God.
Always bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God and teach them the way to righteousness, employing simplicity, humility and understanding. This is the greatest legacy you can leave for your children.

GUILD FOR AN EFFECTIVE PRAYER LIFE

In life everything has a formula,like wise in spiritual parlance there is order and for you to have a postive result in any thing you do,prayer must play a majir role.

These are some tips you need to be able to have a result oriented pally with your creator and Father.

1. Start your prayer by giving thanks and praises to the creator of heaven and earth. Thank him for all he has done for you and what he will still do for you ,because God gives ears to those that appreciate and hallow him.


2.praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to
remember. To pray for our loved ones is, a "sweet duty".


3. Pray for those who
teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors,
and ministers/spiritual leaders . They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.


3. Pray for our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and
industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation
and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.


4. Pray for those who are weak,in trouble,in pains,sick, the destitutes, orphans. They need your prayers day and night,because they might not have the strength to pray effectively.


5.Last but not the least, this where we should place ourselves in relation to God
and others. As the Bible says, "the least shall be the greatest among you."  


By the time you have prayed for the other, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively. 

NOTE. In as much as we most have prayed according to this tips,we should always ask and prayer according to the will of God by not asking for those things that doesnt bring glory to the name of God.

I will sign out with my favourite song in my local denomination which say "humble your self before the lord,count others better than your self".

WIDOW OF LATE LAWMAKER RETAIND HER HUSBANS SEAT

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has issued a certificate of return to Mrs. Nkemdirim Nwogu Iheasimuo, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and winner of the August 16, by - election for Aba South state constituency of Abia State, despite protests by the All Progressives Congress (APC). INEC resident electoral commissioner in the state, Prof. Jacob Jattau, who issued the certificate to the lawmaker- elect, congratulated her on her victory, stating that with the certificate she has been empowered to commence legislative functions. It would be recalled that the leadership of APC in the state had issued a statement alleging irregularities in the conduct of the election. The party also claimed that the “Final results announced by INEC did not reflect the will of the people of Aba South Constituency.” APC said that it was convinced that its candidate won the election on merit, and deserved to have been announced winner of the election. Mrs. Iheasimuo scored 1,655 votes to defeat her closest rival, Elder Smart Ebere of APC, who scored 313 votes, while Chief Chimobi Apara, of the All Progressives Grand Alliance ( APGA) came third with 252 votes. The Aba South constituency seat became vacant following the death of Mrs. Iheasimuo’s husband, Hon. Nwogu Iheasimuo. Later in an interview with journalists, the widow of the former occupant of the seat said she would continue on the lofty programmes of her late husband for her constituents, promising to attract more developmental projects for the area. She thanked the people for their overwhelming support for her at the poll and appealed to her opponents to close ranks with her for the overall interest of the constituency.

Christ more honored in the Koran than Prophet Mohammed

The distinctives of the Lord Jesus-Christ in the Koran. What Does the Koran Say about Jesus?
1. Jesus was the only person to be born of a virgin,
distinguished from all humans and prophets without
any exception: "She said, How shall I have a son,
whom no mortal has touched, neither have I been
unchased. He said, Even so thy Lord has said: Easy is
that for Me; and that We may appoint him a sign unto
men and a mercy from Us. It is a thing
determined."(19) (Mary 16-24).
2. Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all humans
by being the Word of God, who is the very expression
of the Self of God end His eternal Being: "The Messiah,
Jesus son of Mary, God's Messenger, and His
Word …" (4)The Women 171; (3)House of Imran 40).
3. Jesus Christ alone emanated from the spirit of God;
for this reason He did not need a sexual, genetical
birth. "The Messiah, Jesus Son of Mary, God's
Messenger, and His Word that He committed to Mary,
and a Spirit from Him ." (4)The Women 169)
4. Jesus Christ alone, in exception to all humans, spoke
while in the cradle (19)Mary 22-32). The Koran tells us
that Christ needed no one to teach Him anything, not
even how to speak. The Bible says: "Who hath directed
the spirit of the Lord, or being His counselor hath
taught Him knowledge and showed to Him the way of
understanding." (Isaiah 40:1,13-14). Naturally, no one
can teach the One who emanated from God's Spirit for
He is the All-knowing.
5.Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all
prophets with His infallibility and was the only one to
be singled out for His perfection; for all the prophets
had sinned, and their sins were mentioned in the
Koran. However, Christ was the only exception, for
"High honored shall be in this world and the
next." (3)House of Imran 45). Also, the Arab prophet
(El-Bukhari) testified for the perfection of Christ and
His infallibility, saying: "Satan pokes with his finger the
side of every human at birth, except Jesus, son of Mary;
when he went to poke Him, he poked the curtain."
6. Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all others
in the sense that He was the Creator: "I will create for
you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will
breathe into it and it will be a bird." (3)House of
Imran 42).
7. Jesus Christ alone was uniquely incomparable in
knowing men's secrets: "I will inform you too of what
things you eat, and what you treasure up in your
houses. Surely, in that is a sign for you if you are
believers." (3)House of Imran 48).
8. Jesus was matchless in making the miracles and the
wonders which no other could make: "And I will also
heal the blind and the leper…" (3)House of Imran 48).
9. Jesus Christ alone could raise the dead with the
word of His blessed mouth: And I will bring life to the
dead…" (3)House of Imran 48; (5)The Table 110).
10. Jesus Christ alone exclusively enjoyed the
prophetical title of "the Messiah": "The Messiah , Jesus
son of Mary, was God's Messenger, and His Word
committed to Mary…" (4)Women 169). The Old
Testament made known the real identity of the
Messiah, saying: "Behold the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a
King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute
judgement and justice in the earth… and this is the
name whereby He shall be called: THE LORD OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS." (Jeremiah 23:5-6)
11. Jesus Christ alone exchanged responsibility of
authority with God: "And I was a witness over them,
while I remained among them; but when thou didst
take me to thy self, Thou wast Thyself the watcher
over them." (5)Table 117).
12. Jesus was the only one to become a Sign unto men
and Mercy from God (19)Mary 20) unto men who fell
under the burden and the shackles of sin; for which,
God's justice and holiness condemned them to eternal
perdition. For this reason the only Savior, who can
offer eternal salvation to men came to be a Mercy from
God.
13. Only Jesus Christ could give His followers high
honors and assurances concerning the day of
Resurrection: "I will cause thee to die, and I will raise
thee to Me, and I will purify thee of those who believe
not. I will set thy followers above the unbelievers till
the resurrection Day," (3)House of Imran 55)
14. Only Jesus will be the Judge who will come to this
world to judge the living and the dead; the Arab
prophet (El-Bukhari) confirmed this fact, saying: "The
Last Hour will not come until the Son of Mary come
down as the just Judge."
If you meditated on any of the Koran verses that
portray the Lord Jesus Christ, you find that they are
inherent attributes that are exclusively distinctive of
God; and that He did not share any of them with any
human at all. Moreover, you find that the Lord Jesus
Christ did not enjoy only one of these attributes, but He
included all of them in His blessed person, so that He
may leave no doubt concerning His deity and divinity.
The New Testament recorded that the All-mighty God
became a perfect man (something that was easy for
Him to do) and came from heaven to our earth to save
men. The Bible says: "In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the word was God …
and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." (John
1:1,14). Then the Bible continues the portrayal of
Christ, saying:"And without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the
flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached
among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received
up in glory." (1 Timothy 3:16).

THE POWER IN CHRISTIANITY IS IN PRACTICE

I often hear people make such statement like "God fight for me" and i ask  my self,are these people Christians at all?
From my own views and according to the understanding i have about the scriptures,God perfected every thing and gave man dominion over everything created by him. He sent his son to come and die for the washing away of our sins and the reintroduction of the power of the holy spirit which man lost when he fail from the garden of eden.
The devil has absolutely no power over us when our faith is in Christ, for Jesus said: "Behold I give unto you power to
tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke
10:19 )
This Scripture offers great comfort to multiplied millions of
Practical Christians! Our faith in Jesus puts the devil on notice, that
we are off-limit to his insidious attacks and that we have
the authority to disrupt his plans and purposes.
He has absolutely no power over us when our faith is in
Christ. (Luke 10:19)  The Bible says "Submit yourselves therefore
unto God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. "
You don't need God to fight for us again when he has given us all we need in this battle of the spirit.
The potency of this power God has has given to us is only made available to those that are Christlike ie those that put the words of God into practice.
Love which is the ultimate power we need to overcome all the advances of the devil and his manipulations. when we have this divine weapon called love, there is no situation we cant over come and surmount.
Stop shouting the name of God in vain, when you know that he has given you all you need to be victorious in this battle which we have vehemently refused to tap into because of sin.
To be able to tap into the potency of this power that Christ have made abundant to us, we must hear and put into practice the word of God.
Have a pure heart,always forgive,do away with things that are contrary to the will of God,love your brothers as you love your self and at all time have faith and believe that God will never disappoint you. when you put this words of God into practice, i guaranty you that no power nor spirit shall have dominion over your life.

pastors dies in a hotel after sleeping with a woman

A pastor in one of the churches in Ijebu-Ode, names
withheld, has died of magun (thunderbolt), after
allegedly having sex with a lady friend (name
unknown) on Tuesday morning.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the deceased was
said to have gone into a hotel located off Imodi-
Imosan Road of the town for a short rest and was
later found dead in the hotel room.
It was gathered that the owner of the hotel, after the
discovery, reported the incident at Obanlende
Divisional Police Office, while the lady friend was
said to have absconded the scene of the crime.
The scene of the incident was visited by the police,
while the body of the pastor was taken to the
General Hospital, Ijebu-Ode, for autopsy.
Nigerian Tribune learnt that preliminary
investigation into the matter had begun.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, could not be reached for confirmation as of
the time of filing this report.

But sincerely why will our so called pastors be doing this?

And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

Doubt is a killer that's rips the soul off. Many a times the devil uses this tool to distant us from what God has for us. Faith which is the opposite of doubt has a significant role to play in the life of a Christian. Doubt often most times restrains the flow of everlasting grace and favour which God has made available to us his children. It brings to nought,the promises of God in our life.
As a Christian we need to do away with doubt because any spirit that is full of doubt is already doomed .
To be honest if you say you believe in the divinity,kingship and supremacy of Christ Jesus,no matter the circumstances you are facing now,doubt should be far from you as a Christian. heb 11vs 6 says "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever
would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that
he rewards those who seek him."
You cant have faith  when you heart is full with doubts,like the potion says it is impossible to please God and when you cant please God,sure the holy spirit will never come near you and when the holy spirit who is our guild and supernatural teacher is not with you blindness,sickness,sorrow,hardship and disappointment will always be your portion.
All problems in life emanate from
doubtfulness. Whatever you embark on, in this life, if it
does not originate from sound belief, it is an exercise in
futility and it, goes with suffering, lack of progress and even
death. The book of james 1 vs 5-8 says "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives
generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who
doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by
the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will
receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways".
Now we can see where our problems emanates from "doubtfulness" come out of it,embrace faith,believe that he can do all things ,even in the most intricate,unyielding and difficult situations let your faith never shake and let our daily prayer be  Lord, Increase our faith in you because we know that our God never fails and he is able

SACRIFICAL GIVING: THE REAL RIGHTEOUSNESS


Let get a witness : 2 Corinthians 9:6-12
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also
reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will
also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has
decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God
is able to make all grace abound to you, so that
having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you
may abound in every good work. As it is written,
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and
increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will
be enriched in every way to be generous in every
way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to
God. For the ministry of this service is not only
supplying the needs of the saints but is also
overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.
The kind of love God wants from us is the kind of love
that's Gives without grudge or on compulsion. This is the
only Love God needs from us and that is what is regards
as RIGHTEOUSNESS. Love begats giving and giving begats
righteousness and that's why it was written that Gods so
loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten son, here
God did not just give,he gave with Good intension and
with love for mankind which is called SACRIFICIAL GIVEN.
Without this kind of given you have absolutely done
nothing .The SACRIFICIAL KIND OF GIVEN does not expect
reciprocal reward,its not boastfully,its not open,it is done
in secret. That's why in Matthew 6:3-4 which read thus,
"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left
hand know what your right hand is doing, so that
your giving may be in secret. And your Father who
sees in secret will reward you".
The only righteousness that is required from us is the
righteousness of GIVING because in GIVING lies all the
fruits of the spirit.
Matthew 25:34-46
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come,
you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was
thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and
you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I
was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you
came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed
you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we
see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and
clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in
prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them,
‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of
these my brothers, you did it to me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from
me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the
devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave
me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I
was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked
and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you
did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not
minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying,
‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the
least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will
go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous
into eternal life.”
This is our only source of eternal life,and as earlier said
givers never lack,when you imbibe in this kind of given,all
what you stand in need of both spiritual and physically will be all yours and then shall the GIVER be called RIGHTEOUS.

GOD HAS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING: RELAX AND ALWAYS GIVE THANKS TO HIM

 I came across this wonderful illustration showing that what ever that happens to us is preordained by God and we should always give thanks to him always.

A king who didn't believe in God had a slave who, in all circumstances said: my king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes...
One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the slave managed to kill the animal but couldn't prevent his majesty losing a finger.

Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said "if God was good,ɪ would not have been attacked and lost one finger!" The slave replied: "despite all these things,ɪ can only tell you that God is Good and everything he does is perfect, He is never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.
Later he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices.
In the altar,they found out that the king didn't Ђåvε̲ one finger in place so he was released because he was considered not "complete" to be offered to the gods... On his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave saying "my dear,God was really good to me ɪ was almost killed but for lack of a single finger i was let go!
But ɪ have a question: if God is so Gσσd,why did He allow me put you in jail?"
His reply: my king, if ɪ had gone with you , ɪ would have been sacrificed instead of you because ɪ have no missing finger, remember, everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong..."

Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random, and that everything has a purpose... Be thankful to the God in every situation you find your self.

INHERITING THE KINGDOM OF GOD


Gods kingdom is a gift which God has giving to humanity to explore and feel the love which God has for mankind,it is that place Christ went to prepared for us. It is that fulfillment when you hear the Word and put same into practice.
There are 3 steps to inheriting the kingdom of God
1) Giving : the spirit of God is speaking and all spirit must listing. Giving is an act that express and acknowledges that fact that we a sons of God. Its an act that shows that we acknowledges that all we have are not ours;that we are just custodians of the inheritance of God. When we give,it sends messages to the fact that we are not been possessed with our possessions rather we possess our possession. we should aways superintend and direct what ever God has keepth in our possession. Remember the man that ran up to Jesus Christ and asked Good master what he shall do to inherit Eternal Life.Christ answered that he should observe the commandments and he said he has observed all the commandments,but christ been all knowing knew he was lacking one thing told him to go and sell all his possessions and GIVE to the poor and take up his cross and follow him. The man was sad and left because he had great possessions (Mark 10:17-23). This man was not able to have internal life because he dint have the spirit of GIVING,he did not understand that what ever we have today must have to been giving up to have internal life. Christ explains further in verse 24 by saying 'how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God. God doesn't expect us to sell everything we have and feed the poor but wants us to have an understanding that we are custodians not owners of any possession and that when ever he who is the owner wants it, we should be ready to GIVE it out with thankfulness of heart; without GIVEN there is no inheritance of the kingdom.

2) CARRY THE CROSS : According to the words of the holy spirit Carry the Cross means bearing another man’s burden without complaining, tolerating all kinds of sinners, the murderers, the thieves, the backbiters etc. If you stand firm with Christ without fighting back your accusers whenever you are accused falsely or being spat upon or jeered at, disgraced and insulted without a just cause. If you are informed that someone had planned to shoot you and you fail to run away when he aims at you to shoot, then you are carrying the Cross.

To carry the Cross does not cost anything. To be able to carry the Cross you must resign yourself completely to God. You must be loving, humble; you must esteem another person higher than yourself; you must not be envious. if you can stay with a notorious liar very happily without stirring up his anger when he tells you a lie and when one persecutes you falsely and seeks to destroy your life by all means yet you tolerate him wholeheartedly, you are carrying the real Cross. This is a direct revelation of what christ ment in mark 10 vs 21,luke 14 v 27. In accordance with what paul said to the people of corinthaians in his first epistle to corinthains chapter 1 vs 18 which said ' For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. The cross is a prerequisite for any who seeks to INHERITE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

3) LOVE
Love is the ultimate ,it is the consummation of all attributes. Love is the beginning and the end. Love is a spirit that never fails when we have love for our self and one another it is a license to inherit the kingdom. Love is the crown of internal life,love is submission to the will of God and finally love is Christ. You must have christ in you which is the holy spirit to be able to inherit eternal life. As recorded in 1st cort 13 vs 8 which says that Love never fails,which we know when we have Christ he never fails.

In all we must possess the 3 gift of the Holy spirit to be able to inherit the kingdom, without which we are far from the kingdom of God. Now are you ready to inherit the kingdom?
