victory Over Crisis And Depression

1 Samuel 30;1-8.

Crisis  is simply  described  as  a moment or moments of trouble cum uneasy calm in the life of a man ,nation or group. Crisis is a nearby companion to life as one often hears about financial crisis, marital crisis, social crisis, company crisis and recently the bold grab, economic downturn is having on the world in general

The attack and crisis at Ziklag , took place three days after David and his men left the Philistine army at Aphek.

Nomadic in nature, the Amelekites roaming the nearby lands had often attacked Isreal. Their wandering nature was generational as God cursed them with a curse for fighting His people Isreal after the great exodus.. Numbers 13;29 and Exodus 17;8-13]. Duetronomy 25;19.

 These normads [Amelekites] had invaded Ziklag on the absence of David and instead  of killing, they chose to carry their prey away as slaves. Among those who were carried away were David’s two wives and children and host of others.

 To David, it was a major crisis  in his leadership. He  was highly distressed not only because of his personal grief over the erosion that swept off his family members, but the magnitude of the crisis  at hand, can one tackle this problem without divine intervention, how, just how,?

 David wept. More so as the people  were ready to stone him to death. for failing them.

 The crisis led             David to a great depression ,his wives Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and  Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite were gone ,everyone in the village lamented of his loss, their souls were grieved, they became  depressed, things fell apart for David, the centre could no more hold for him but he did one thing.. BUT DAVID STRENGHTENED HIMSELF IN THE LORD HIS GOD. [vs6b] “Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelechs’,please bring the ephod here to me axnd Abiathar brought the ephod to David, then David enquired of the Lord saying,shall I pursue this troop?, shall I overtake them? And He[God] answered him, pursue for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all[vs 8]

Then David attacked them[ The Amelikites] from twilight until the evening of the next day, not a man of them  escaped except four hundred young men who rode on carmels and fled, so David recovered all that the Amelekites had carried from him and David recovered his two wives and nothing of their’s was lacking either small or great, sons or daughters ,spoil or anything which they had taken from them David recovered all.[vs17-29].

The solution to crisis and depression is simply taking the steps David took.. Encourage yourself in the Lord..

                                              PRAYERS.

THE WORLD IN TURMIOL..THE URGENCY OF EVANGELISM

THE WORLD IN TURMOIL ?

THE  URGENCY OF EVANGELISM.

For a world in turmoil like  the era we now live, there are many things that are very important but not urgent, there are many other things and events very important in the eyes of men and the nations of the world, and which when you weigh them on the scale, are like  sounding  brass and tinkling cymbal in the spirit.[nothing] There are certainly myriads of other things which may be important or look important for a period of time, after which their important position drops to the deeps.

The preparations for the Olympic games recently hosted by South African was before it was hosted and concluded, very important and urgent  to the nations that won tickets to host their flags in the Olympic arena. In the Arab world, important and urgent reforms and meaningful dialogues are needed to calm the nerves of the people clamoring for change through democratic processes.

From the events in the Arab emirates, entered the events in Japan where a ruthless earth quake cum  sweeping tsunami provoked  the anger of the  nuclear reactors  scattered from  Yukusima  to the hither lands of  Japan. As I was writing this article, cooling the nerves of the reactors to evade massive human loss  was not only very ,very  urgent but important , if Japan and countries surround her must continue to exist.

Stopping the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, terrorism in Pakistan, taming the  pirates of Somalia, war and hunger in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Feeding millions of refuges scattered all over  the globe courtesy of widespread violence and ugly gingles from elections and boundry disputes as well as  taming the monster called  economic crisis amongst other needs facing the world are not only important but very urgent .

Still, there is one very  urgent task  and commission the world never  considers important nor urgent. The task which the Lord Jesus by commission gave the Church, to take His saving gospel to  this world  tortured and confused by events the scientist and politicians therein cannot stop nor give  convincing answers to. Even amongst the commissioned,[Christians] this very important task that holds the future of  every  one on the surface of the earth , is not even  in their diaries,  the devil has turned the messages of majority of these ministers  into fables and prosperity gingles and millions are they that cherish them.

The task of taking the good news, His saving gospel and life, to this sinful and drowning world is one of such messages and events that are not only important to man but urgent at all times. Know ye not  the consequencies if the gospel is not preached or denied the sinners especially the ignorant sinners transcends this transient world into an endless eternity.

The important task of preaching the gospel and evangelizing the world is urgent for many reasons..

Time is running out, this  sinful world is coming to an end

[1 Cor 7;29-31]—1 John 2;17]                                                                                                          

 “ But this I say brethren, the time is short, it  re maineth   that  both they have  wives be as though they had none and those that weep as though they wept  not  and they that rejoice as though they rejoiced not and they that buy as though they possessed not. And they that use this word as not abusing it for the fashion of this world passeth away “ And the world  passeth away and the  lust thereof but he that doeth the will of God abideth for  ever.” [1 John 2;17].

Secondly our own opportunity and time to preach the gospel is not for  ever, it will soon come to an end, for “ I must do the works of him that sent me ,while it is day, the night cometh when no man can work.. ”John 9;4.

Sinners will not always be ready and willing to hear or listen to the gospel message. So while now that they  yearn for the truth, we dare not slumber or fail to give them the good news that saves lives.

We Christians ie evangelists must strike while the iron is still hot, every lost opportunity leaves the sinners hearts more hardened  and makes it more hard to win. It is dangerous and of fatal consequences if we delay or fail to preach gospel, Christ commissioned us to do when he said”

“ Go ye therefore and teach all the nations, baptizing in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatever  I have commanded you and lo I am with thee always even unto the end of the world” Mathew 28:19-20.

The urgency of winning souls before the return of the messiah made us the evangelists, the watchmen of today…Though the soldiers and other security organizations are said to be guiding the nations, God has made the born again Christians,  God’s people who are called by his name the watch men…

“Son of man [born again, evangelists ,preachers ,prophets ,Apostles, missionary workers, bishops, priests, arch bishops  etc ] I have made thee a watchman[watchmen] unto the hose of Israel [unto the nations where you reside] therefore hear the word from my mouth and give them warnings from me. When I say unto the wicked thou shalt surely die, thou givest him not warning nor speaketh t warn the wicked from his wicked ways to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thine hand, Yet if thou warn the wicked and he turn not from his wickedness or his wicked ways, he shall die in his iniquity but thou has delivered thy soul. Again when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die because thou hast not given him warnings, he shall die in his sins and the righteousness which he had done shall not be remembered ,but his blood will I require  at  thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous and the righteous sin not and he doth not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned ,also thou hast delivered thy soul. [Ezekiel 3;17-21.

So therefore the works and footsteps of the  evangelists toiling on to evangelize and save souls are highly admired. Their works are given  in this text  as the  valuable watchman, who keeps vigil over the city and warns the inhabitants of impending dangers. The commission is go ye, the project is  to watch  preach and deliver the message as commanded of the  Lord, with no colours added or subtracted from the truth. The evangelists, the preachers, the pastors, archbishops, bishops, and all who are qualified to preach the gospel are commissioned to warn the evil doers, criminals and careless people  about the dangers of sin. This  is to arrest quickly careless people who may be roaming about till dooms day.

The assignment is not only to the sinners, it also applies to the careless and negligent people who profess to know Christ but, to no avail.

To the evangelist and teachers of the gospel of Christ kingdom, say not ye there are yet four months and then cometh harvests? Behold I say unto you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are already to harvest.” John 4;3. Move, do not be absorbed in other businesses of yours, do the work of the  evangelist, throw away procrastination, insensitivity and move for the  harvest is plenty across the globe, the nations that never knew are beginning to know him. The urgent task of warning the careless and evil doers and guiding them onto salvation is not optional for the believers, it is compulsory for we have been compelled to warn the sinner and the backslider to repent, else we risk our envied relationship and place with  God. Our souls you must recall are in danger of eternal loss if we sleep over the great commission to go and warn the sinners in our churches and outside our churches to repent .

DESTROYING THE ACTIVITIES OF SATANIC QUEENS.


Demonic queens in the earthly conclave rule the spirits which operate in the cults temples, shrines , secret religions etc., which oversees all the wicked acts carried out on earth’s surface on daily basis, propagates the worship of Satan in all manners of idolatry, from image worship to ornaments, to animism and to the worship of departed souls.[ancestral worship]

The word of God identifies the queens in the following scriptures…

Jeremiah 44:17…But we certainly do whatever thing that goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven.

Come down and sit in the dust ,oh virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground, there is no throne O daughter of the Chaldeans for thou shall no more be called tender and delicate.

Isaiah 47,1:5 Get thee into darkness O daughter of the Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be called the lady of kingdom.

Beware, these demonic queens sometimes appear as beautiful girls you[ men] may love to dine with, when they finally bite you, it is the bite of death. They bite more than hell and who can deliver you out of their hands if not the Lord almighty.?

They drain your spiritual strength and leave you spiritually weak, weakness in going to the church, weakness in prayer, weakness in the things of God and this life, general weakness in the spirit and physical.

They are released to war against the children of God, from the land, sea, air and beneath the sea and the forests.

They are highly offensive in carrying out their duties for they know the source of their duties and the time frame..

They spy your progress, and career in life through un-noticed ants and insects that may be sharing the apartment with you.

They rewind and slow down your progress through the anti-clock-wise” progress” manipulations, which allows you to always be at the edge of victory songs that you will never sing.

The satanic queens distribute illness to their partners, if the sickness does not fit you, they release it on your aging class, or the entire family may suffer from one ailment or the other.

They more you interact and eat of their dainties, the more they dig pits and nets that will eventually swallow you.

Even though you show they kindness, be sure that” for without cause they have hid their net in a pit, which without cause they have dig for my soul”…Psalms 35;7.

These demons are always in hide outs waiting for their prey, and only the word of God in your mouth will pursue they from the hide out and save your life in time.

Whenever and where ever they are allowed, they import other demons to come along with their own brand of sickness and troubles . Then you begin to suffer foreign troubles you never experienced in your life ,imported life style, sins, foreign poverty, etc

Now in their pocket, they will not fail to initiate you secretly in the dream and in life, even in the air land , sea etc.

After the initiations, you begin to offend God in words and in deeds, your marriage and your family if any would suffer, or even break,

They will drive you away from favor and breakthrough, and block every opening available to you and having rounded you up, they become the indwelling demonic companion in your life.

Remember how they started, and remember how gradual their programmes are--- that little by little , they can download you into hell fire for that is their ultimate aim.

They also operate and entangle people in the following ways

• They appear to people in the dreams

• Masquerades pursuing man in dreams or he / she being part of the masquerade dancing troupe.

• Playing or being surrounded by creeping things, in dream state.

• Constant squabbles with bad people in the society especially

• Walking over or sitting on demonic objects

• Shaking hands with people who wear assorted rings

• Accepting and eating food carelessly.

• And a host of others.

But you have the answer to their tricks and that is giving your life to the Lord Jesus and setting your affections on things above where He is for if you then be risen with Christ, then set your affections on things above, Col 3,1.

PRAYERS.

To authoritatively destroy their wicked acts on the people and you in particular,

you must know that you are now the altar of God.

A peculiar nation, person, more than a conqueror, a royal priesthood, that cannot be messing around a child or man of God. Born again.

1. Cover yourself with the blood of Jesus and the following scriptures---Exodus 12:13, Lev 3:2

2. Plead the blood of the new covenant to remove you from the pit of dryness…Col 1..14:20-21.Rev 12:11.

3. Claim and prophesy authority over the queens and the conclaves they command.. Numbers 23:23, Mathew 16: 19, Luke 12:19.

4. Release the hammers of God on their heads [ Genesis 12:3, Duet 23:5, Jeremiah 44:17 Isaiah 47:1,Rev 16:2

5. Put the sword of the spirit[the word of God ] in action. .Jeremiah 23: 29, Isaiah 59:1, Psalms23,35,119

6. Be at peace with God, living right and standing right before Him…Psalm 34:17-21.Prov 3: 32, Isaiah 3;10, Mathew 13 :43.

7. Cancel all contacts with the queens if any and be at peace with everybody.





YOUR SPIRITUAL WELFARE IS OUR CONCERN..

Christ Doctrines.

 

Your Passport To Eternal Life.

 

The Holy Bible consisting of 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament, it is the inspired Word of God. The Bible is the final authority in all matters concerning Christian conduct and works. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Proverbs 30:5, 6.

 

• The Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and recognizable personalities and qualities, perfectly united in one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are different Persons in the Godhead. Matthew 3:16, 17; 2 Corinthians 13:14.

 

• The virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. The crucifixion, death, burial and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18 -25; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4.

 

• For all men and women have sinned against God and thereby became an enemy of God. As a result are under the wrath and condemnation of God. Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4; Romans 3:23.

 

• Repentance is a complete turning away from all form of sins, and that it is required from every sinner before he or she can truly and effectively believe in Jesus Christ. Proverb 28:13; Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:21-23; Mark 1:15; Act 2:38.

 

• Restitution is making amends for wrongs done against other people, restoring stolen goods to the rightful owners, paying debts and making confessions to people we have defrauded and offended. Genesis 20:1-8; Exodus 22:1-7 Matthew 23:24; Luke 19:8,9; Acts 23:1-5; James 4:17.

 

• Justification (or Regeneration) is the act of God's grace whereby one receives forgiveness and pardon of sins and he or she is then counted righteous before God, through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Psalms 32:1, 2; Isaiah 1:18; John 3:3-8; Acts 13:38, 39; Romans 3:24-20.

 

• Water Baptism is essential to our obedience after reconciliation with God. Water Baptism is one immersion (not three) "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" as Jesus commanded. Matthew 28:19; 3:13-17; Mark 16:15; Acts 2:38,39; Romans 6:4,5.

 

• Marriage is a union of two people for life. Monogamy is the uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God's perfect will and institution. The Bible forbids a believer marrying an unbeliever. Nobody has a right to divorce and remarry while the first husband or wife lives. When a person becomes a converted Christian, necessary restitution in this line must be done without delay if he has married wrongly. Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy 7:1-4; Joshua 23:11-13 ; 2Corinthians 6:14-18; Proverbs 31:10-31; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18.

 

• Entire Sanctification is a definite act of God's grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer's heart is purified and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works, struggle or suppression, but is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart are central to Christian living. Luke 1:74,75; John 17:15-17; 1Thessalonians 4:3, 7,8; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrew 2:11; 1 Peter 1:14-16.

 

• The Rapture (commonly referred to as the first phase or stage of the Second Coming of Christ) is the catching away, from the earth, of all living saints and all who died in the Lord. The Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation and can happen any time from now. John 14:1-3; Luke 21:34-36; 1Corinthians 15:51-58; 1John3:1-3.

 

• Resurrection of the dead is taught in the bible as clearly as the immortality of the soul. Every individual who has ever lived resurrected. Some to honor and glory, others to everlasting shame and contempt—Job 19:25-27,Psalm71:20, 1Thess 4:13-16, Hebrews 6:1-2, Rev 20:4,6,12,

SEARCH FOR DEDICATED INTERCESSORS FOR THE NATIONS

God almighty has always been concerned with the affairs of the man and the woman He  made in His own image.Of a truth, His interventions in the affairs of men are either divine or physical. Where He cannot apply the spiritual solution, He wades in , in the physical through connections cum links  to the vital help lines.Where spiritual interventions are needed, this great and mighty  God gave men and women spiritual gifts to interven on behalf of others.
God in effect, has always been  searching for these intercessors who will stand in the prestigeous gaps pleading for this generation that has derailed so much,but alas.there is a conspiracy of the prophets in the midst thereof, like a roarng lion ravening the prey, they have devoured the souls,taking the treasure and precious things under their care, and made many widows in the midst thereof.
Her priests have not only violated the law of God, but have profaned his holy things, they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they diferenciated between the clean  and unclean," and have hid their eyes from my sabath and I am profaned amongst them" Ezekiel 22;26.

Her princes in the midst[world,nations] thereof are lilke wolves ravening the prey[innocent people] to shed blood and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gains.
Her prophets are untempered,seeing vanity and diving lies,saying thus sayest Lord God,when the Lord had not spoken
.
The people of the land have used impression and excercised robbery and have vexed the poor and needy,yea they have even oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
 Lo the Lord sought for a man among them that should take up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land[nations] that I should not destroy,but found non.

Therefore have I poured out my idignation upon them, I have consumed them  with the fire of my wrath,their own way have I  recompensed upon their heads saith the Lord..

The type of intercessors God is searching for are those who are not only available but pure,   in the words of the creator, He found none in the  high and the mighty, the low and humble even in the midst of the common people. What a calamity?.
