IT is indeed times of refreshing as the General Superintendent of the puritan conservative Pentecostal church, the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi whose church members are banned from watching television for fear of pollution, subtely joined the big league of eminent Nigerian preachers who are taking advantage of modern technological dev-elopment to beam their preachments and other activities via satellite to the rest of the world.

Many know where they are going but are not ready to give it what it takes. There is what to do to secure the changes you desire this year. If you do nothing, you get nothing! Last week, I told you that prayer is one of the greatest assets you have in seeking God’s intervention for a desired change. This week, I will teach on the force of zeal as another important factor that should be in place, if you must secure the changes you desire.

After about three months, she went to the hospital, and they said oh yes! You are pregnant there is a baby in your womb.

God said in Gen 2:18, “it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him”. Everything that is missing in your life, God will help to put in place for you.

No wonder Job 22:29 says “when men are cast down, then thou shalt say, there is a lifting up..” what is it that makes men feel cast down? Is it not problems of life? Situations and circumstances can make people feel gloomy, depressed, oppressed and down trodden.

You don’t appear at a war front just like that; you have to prepare adequately because it is warfare. If you must win the war, there is need for adequate preparation. Last week, I taught on heart preparation as a key to winning the war of prayer. This week, I will show you another dimension of preparation that will enable you to win the war of prayer—Word preparation. Without the Word, every prayer ends in utter frustration.

Introduction: The nature of the exposition: IN this exposition it should be clear that no demand on Man made by God is to be idealized or moralized. Every demand of God is for a purpose. And it takes Man without sin to obey any demand of God. This applies to the Law given to Adam to keep before the Fall and to the Laws given to Israel by the hand of Moses. This point is to be kept in mind when we read the teachings of the Lord and Paul’s on Marriage against the backdrop of Moses’s Law on Divorce.

Whatever you like say. God is no respecter of persons. Those who see Christianity in the light of bread and butter should not force their beliefs on us. You either believe in God or believe in your selfish desires.

KELLY Omodia says: I read some of the comments on Pastor Bakare’s response to Pastor Ituah Ighodalo’ssack at RCCG.
