Deliverance

There is certainly something happening in Christianity especially in Africa. We always hear about deliverance, we see people being delivered. We see people crawling like snakes, we see people saying they are married spiritually (spiritual husbands and wife's). I see this most of the time.

As I look at all this miracles and deliverance happening one thing for sure is that the gospel is spreading because the Name of Jesus is used during these deliverance services and stuff. On the other hand It sometimes concerns me. The enemy can also perform miracles, this is seen during the time when Moses went to Egypt to help deliver the Children of Israel. The diviners in Egypt would also perform miracles when God performed miracles through Moses. Though there are true men of God who are used in the area of deliverance we have to be careful of the false/fake

Another thing that concerns me is that people now go for this so called deliverance services just for miracles. People get excited when they see miracles and people being delivered. It is very rare for people to listen to the teachings, they just want miracles. Many times after this services people always speak about the miracles and the way people were becoming snakes e.t.c Let us be careful of where our focus is.

Another thing that concerns me is that sometimes we see the same people being delivered. This concerns me because after "deliverance" if a person does not learn more about the Word of God and close the door, the Word says that when the demon comes back it comes back seven fold i.e seven times stronger. Imagine if something comes back stronger. A person may think "I have been delivered" and yet the demon is now seven times stronger and you are now stubborn to the point where deliverance is not working because you are blinded.

Let us be people who are constantly learning the Word of God. Miracles and deliverance are part of the Christian life but not the focus. The main focus is doing the will of God and being yourself, being free.

Angry Unhappy Christians

Unfortunately its true, we do have angry and unhappy Christians. I always wonder why its like that. God promises us joy, peace and happiness and yet we still have a lot of angry unhappy Christians. I believe it’s time we re-evaluate our Christianity. Christianity is not supposed to be a bondage and a burden. It’s supposed to give us life in abundance. , We have a people who are Christians out of duty and not out of a free will and love for God. People are just afraid of going to hell and they are teaching other people fear and bondage instead of love and freedom. Bondage brings hatred, anger and unhappiness. It saddens me to see my brethren suffering and not enjoying Christianity. This week I encourage you to lighten up and stop judging everyone that comes your way. This week I encourage you to let go and let God be . Lets re-evaluate our Christianity, why are we Christians?

The Enemy "Time Waster"

Many times I hear people saying "the devil did this and that" and forget that they are Christians. Everything and I mean everything that happens to us as children of God happen because God allows it to happen. It may pain him to allow certain things to happen to us but the truth is He is still in control. We give the devil or Satan too much credit. Everything weather good or bad which happens to me happens because God loves me. I am not going to go around rebuking the devil for everything but instead thank God for victory and deliverance. I have no time to waste fighting the enemy. I just do that automatically by doing the will of God. As I do the will of God He automatically gives me victory. we resist the enemy by doing the will of God and living in obedience.

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.
