Story for the Day

This is a powerful story that would help you understand how easy and effective the fight of faith really is. In this story you'd find out how to practically live by faith and how you can never lose in the good fight of faith.

Everything was pretty normal for the first two months of the new year. Then in the third month, I began to experience setbacks. My five major clients who pay me 1 million naira yearly due to the nature of their project, began to pull out for one casual reason or the other. I didn’t see this as a problem initially. I felt that I would still do well since I had many more average and minor clients, who pay for my services in hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands. I didn’t bother myself. Rather, I consoled myself that clients were not supposed to last forever and that I’d have more big clients with time. Little did I know that I was heading for a total crash. Business was pretty normal for a while, then it happened again. One after the other, my average clients began to slowly pull out until I had only a few minor clients left. Everything happened slowly but suddenly. After carrying out personal evaluations, I couldn’t figure out what the problem was exactly, because my standards didn’t drop a bit. Eventually, the final blow struck. I realized that I wasn’t getting any new clients at all. People recognized me as the best, but they kept giving excuses like; “I don’t have money for now. I need your services but not for now I am having issues with my business partner. We’d check back when we’ve resolved our conflicts. I like your competence but something is not settled about you on my inside The lock down affected me. I am cutting costs for now etc..” In fact, things grew worse. A good number of my staff left, because I couldn’t pay salaries. Still, I didn’t give up. I kept making calls and writing proposals until one day something whispered into my mind…. “THIS IS THE END FOR YOU. STOP TRYING. CURSE GOD AND DIE”. It came with a very depressing ambience that overwhelmed me. But, I didn’t give in to it. On one particular morning in July, I woke up feeling too tired to get out of bed. I still couldn’t understand how and why everything I had built in 7 years could crash in less than a year. So, I began to reflect on my past 7 years in business. I reflected on how I had grown fast and prospered in business. And, I also recounted how I had always ensured that I delivered quality services. Although I knew I was in for a fight, I didn’t really know what to do. I didn’t understand why all these were happening to me even as a Christian; A child of God. When, I took to my WhatsApp to see if I had gotten any response from potential clients, I stumbled over this quote on Oti Stories’s WhatsApp status: “….When a prophetic word comes for the year, we embrace it, internalize it and fight a GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH with it…” After reading this quote, I felt like I had been hit by something hard. There was instant awakening on my inside. And I thank God for it. Although I’m a good Christian who has great value for praying, I had always overlooked and taken prophetic words for the year casually. I just say AMEN, post it on social media and forget about it. But that changed immediately, when I read that status. I suddenly became aware that no matter what Satan had planned for a particular year, God has not left us without help. I realized that He had seen the beginning from the end and has given us His own plans for us regarding that same year. That’s why there are some people whose experiences in a particular year are very different from the complaints of others. Even though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, they are not afraid because their eyes are fixed on what God’s word says and His promises to them for that year. Honestly, if I wasn’t awakened by that quote, it would have been a total defeat for me. So, I was determined to focus on my church’s Prophecy for that year: VICTORY. I wrote down the entire prophecy, and had a daily reminder set for it. So once the reminder pops up, I take up the prophecy and proclaim it prayerfully for about 20 mins. Although there were times I felt lazy about it, the reminder helped to put me in check most of the time. Again, I wasn’t discouraged with the fact that it was already July. I told myself that it wasn’t too late for me. I was rest assured that, victory is God’s plan for me in this year. And what I needed to do, is to step into it. Shockingly, I got the final blow in the month of August . My landlord asked me to move out of the house, because my rent was seven months due already. I hadn’t gotten any new clients. And my account balance was so low, because I had used up my savings, to pay off my staff and clear outstanding debts. At that point, I began to feel like someone had cursed me. I knew that if I didn’t do something urgently, I would finally end up on the streets. That night, I cried to God with all my heart. I told him that I desired to see His prophecy for the year made manifest in my life. Then that night, I had a dream…. I saw a lady holding a bible in her hands. She was surrounded by what she could see and also what she couldn’t see. She appeared to be aware that there were strange forces around her, but she couldn’t see them. She knew she was up against something, but she couldn’t see it. Neither did she know the direction to face. This made me realize that humans can see only what they can see in the physical realm. But aside the physical, there are other things that they cannot see. While I watched her, I asked within myself, “…how is she ever going to win , fighting like a blind woman???”. Then, I heard a voice say to me… “ …. SHE DOESN’T NEED TO SEE THEM. ALL SHE NEEDS IS FAITH. Mark 11:24 says, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. If she believes she has whatever she desires and does not waver, she’d certainly have it…“ Just then, I saw light rising up from her to heaven. As this light rose higher, I also saw her declaring… “Thank you LORD. You have heard my prayer. I believe I have my desires. I speak it… I have my desires. Hallelujah! Jesus has done all things for me, through His sacrifice for me. He has done this for me also. I have this. I have this now. Glorryyy” Then, she began to rejoice as she walked joyfully and confidently. All of a sudden, I observed that the farther she walked, the more the darkness in the unseen realm got thicker. But I also observed that the light shining from her to heaven grew brighter and brighter. I could say that the darkness made her focus more on her faith probably because there was no other option of light around her to distract her attention from faith-ing her desires. She rested on faith. And that faith shone as light for her, all through her journey through the darkness. Then suddenly, I saw angels coming down through that light. And they were all making deliveries. They were going up and down, and delivering answers to her. Just then, an angel came to me and said to me. “Faith pleases GOD. Hold on to God’s word and promises for you. If you believe it, speak and rejoice like you already have it, it would be impossible for you not to have it made manifest in your life. When it gets tougher and darker, REJOICE!!!, because God would never withhold anything from you. But, you need to stay at it and never give up. The just must live by faith because God’s promises through the finished work of Christ, are delivered to you when you pray, rejoice and believe confidently that you have them. You must stay at it continuously, with the assurance that God always honors Faith. Satan would definitely try to distract you with overwhelming challenges, but your consistency in faith without being dissuaded by the lies of Satan, is the fight of Faith. It’s a good fight because faith always wins. “ I woke up full of joy and courage. I decided to do more than rely on the daily reminders. I allowed the Word for me; Victory, to occupy my heart most times. I spoke victory, I sang victory, I rejoiced in victory, I sowed expecting harvests of victories, I called forth victory and expected the manifestations of victory. It didn’t matter what Satan had thrown at me or would throw at me. I had realized that all those are mere distractions to take my eyes off God’s promises to me. I was rest assured that if God has promised it, then it’s already a reality for me. I made these proclamations twice a day… I believe God has given me victory. He is set to ensure that I walk in Victory in every area of my life this year. My rent is paid hallelujah My business flourishes I have all I have lost restored to me I have unending harvests of victories God has gone ahead of me. God has beaten down my foes before me God has subdued institutions and nations before me God has gone before me as a mighty man of war and has perfected all that concerns me I have subdued on your behalf Despite the uprisings and turmoil I will be of good cheer, because God has prevailed on my behalf Henceforth, things have changed for me. This year it’s one story of victory to another It is my Year of Victory! It is my Year of Victory! Glory to God.. In Jesus name Of course, there were times I was tempted to feel sad but I knew the decision was mine to make. To either focus on God’s report and agenda for me, or to focus on the agenda of Satan. While still in faith, nothing really happened till October 26. I was only able to persuade the landlord to give me some time till the end of November. Things grew even worse. But the darker it got, the more I rejoiced because I knew God is reliable. On the 6th of October, a thought crossed my mind to do an online advert. I resisted it at first because all I had on me was two thousand naira. At that moment, my second reminder to take my proclamations on Victory for that day popped up. By the time I was done with the proclamations, the fear and uncertainty about the online advert had disappeared. And, I was fully persuaded to go ahead with it. That was it! The results were overwhelming!!!. I advertised for train people on my skill, and I got 200 trainees who wanted to learn my skill. Each of them paid two hundred thousand naira, amounting to a total of Forty million naira. With that, not only were my losses restored, I also got way more than I usually made yearly in my seven years in business. Till date, I have learnt the fight of faith. Indeed it is a good fight because it always wins. As long as I believe it and stay in faith, I am sure that, IT IS MINE.

THE FIGHT OF FAITH

Business was pretty normal for a while, then it happened again. One after the other, my average clients began to slowly pull out until I had only a few minor clients left. Everything happened slowly but suddenly. After carrying out personal evaluations, I couldn’t figure out what the problem was exactly, because my standards didn’t drop a bit.

Eventually, the final blow struck. I realized that I wasn’t getting any new clients at all. People recognized me as the best, but they kept giving excuses like;

“I don’t have money for now.

I need your services but not for now

I am having issues with my business partner. We’d check back when we’ve resolved our conflicts.

I like your competence but something is not settled about you on my inside

The lock down affected me. I am cutting costs for now etc..”

In fact, things grew worse. A good number of my staff left, because I couldn’t pay salaries. Still, I didn’t give up. I kept making calls and writing proposals until one day something whispered into my mind…. “THIS IS THE END FOR YOU. STOP TRYING. CURSE GOD AND DIE”. It came with a very depressing ambience that overwhelmed me. But, I didn’t give in to it.

On one particular morning in July, I woke up feeling too tired to get out of bed. I still couldn’t understand how and why everything I had built in 7 years could crash in less than a year. So, I began to reflect on my past 7 years in business. I reflected on how I had grown fast and prospered in business. And, I also recounted how I had always ensured that I delivered quality services.

Henceforth, things have changed for me. This year it’s one story of victory to another

It is my Year of Victory!

Glory to God.. In Jesus name

Are you led to SOW/PARTNER with me?

I SHINE

This story is an eye opener. I see sectors open to you. I see purpose discovered as you read this story.

“… The existence of darkness is as a result of light that has refused to shine…. “ This was her only response to me, after I popped the question.

Her response really got me thinking. I was curious to know how that statement actually relates to my question. Well, I finally summoned courage to call and ask for a formal meeting, so we can talk. Fortunately, she agreed.

On the day of the meeting, I arrived with a long list of questions. I was so curious. I felt like I urgently needed to find answers.

So, I started by popping up the most pressing question.

Me: Ma, The last time I ran into you at the grocery store, I told you that I was confused about my purpose in life. I told you that I feel drawn to some works of life, but been a Christian has limited me from these things. Then, I asked if you could direct me on how to find purpose within the walls of Christianity?.

Ma, your response got me even more confused. I didn’t seem to understand how it related to the question.

Oti Stories: Okay, I promise to make you understand my response and why I feel it’s the perfect answer to your question. Before then, I’d really like you to go into details. What are the things you are drawn to? How has Christianity limited you? What do you mean by “within the walls of Christianity”?.

Me: While I was growing up ma, I had dreams. I saw myself doing things that would redefine and transform different sectors of the society. I still recall how I would sit for hours and just imagine how the fashion industry can be improved, how the educational system can become better etc. I had alot of innovative ideas. And deep within I knew I wasn’t just thinking things through or imagining things. I knew those ideas were given to me to execute them.

Aside the inflow of ideas, I also had passion for these areas. Within, I felt drawn to work towards and look forward to the full execution of those ideas. So, I began to develop myself in those areas and do lots of researches

Oti Stories: How old were you when you began to feel this way?

Me: 10 yrs old ma.

Oti Stories: Great. So at your present age, what have you done so far concerning these ideas?

Me: Ma. That is the issue.

Oti Stories : How?

Me: I don’t want to sin. I don’t want to offend God. I don’t want to gain the world and lose my soul.

Oti Stories: Wow… So how has that got anything to do with taking steps toward to your passion?

Me: Alright, I’ll speak up ma.

I have passion and ideas for fashion design, song writing, music, acting, politics, writing and branding. I was so passionate about these areas. I was waiting to be done with school, so that I can begin to take steps. I had it all planned in my diary. I had long notes of my ideas and strategies.

I began to study and take down notes on all these area of interest, right from the time I was 10 yrs old. I read magazines, read articles, watched shows etc.. And every time I did, I took notes of everything I could do to improve on that area. I even have drawings and sketches ma.

Oti Stories: Did you come here with any of them?

Me: Yes, I came here with a few of them ma. Can I show them to you?

Oti Stories: Yes please.

(After spending about 30 mins of flipping through the pages of the diaries)

Do you really plan to do all these? From what I can see here, this is beyond innovation. This is divine. These ideas and plans are out this world. You are truly gifted. Now, what exactly is the problem?

Me: While I was in the university, I got preached to and gave my life to Christ. I began to attend fellowship very often. I got really committed. There, we were told that a Christian is not supposed to go into alot of things. We were told that it is best to live a peaceful and quiet life, so we would not get too entangled with the world. My plans were not meant to be under the canopy of Christian fashion designer, or gospel singer, or gospel beats or gospel anything etc. Because of that, I felt my plans were already out to benefit the world and not God. Now, I’m done with the university and I’m still praying to God to show me my purpose in life. I want to know what I would feel fulfilled doing and also within the walls of Christianity. I don’t want to go into anything that would make me sin.

I was told that when I find purpose, I’d have peace on my inside. Although, I have had ideas within the walls of Christianity, I really don’t feel fulfilled doing any of them.

Oti Stories: What are the ideas you’ve had?

Me: Ma, they had to do with getting a regular high paying job and living a regular life, that is free from been contaminated with the systems of this world. Again, at this point, I am also aware that for anyone to get to a certain height in this world, you must belong to some secret societies.

Oti Stories: Well, you are right. But it is so because light has refused to shine. Christians have refused to go into sectors because of fear of losing their salvation. This fear is not of God. It is a lie which Satan had told to Christians, so that he can dominate and have full control of alot of sectors. Whereas, God has blessed Christians to be fruitful multiply and to dominate the earth.

My dear, if you want be fruitful, you have God as you back up. Those secret societies are like territorial barriers that says; “for you to go father than a certain point, you must be a satanist “. This is so, because Satan controls those areas.

I am glad that you are a child of God. I believe you should know by now, that Jesus is Lord. And that, God is sovereign over all and the rulers of darkness.

In Colossians 2:15 the scripture says, When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

Therefore, you should not be scared of them. Just stay focused on the victory that Jesus has won for you.

Me: Wow! Ma, This is really encouraging. I can now see that it is possible for me to go as I as I intend to in this life, without having to give in to Satanic societies. Thanks alot for reassuring me that God is my back up. Seriously, I never knew this. I’d never really paid attention to the fact that Satan has already been disarmed for me. And, it had never really dawned on me that Satan is supposed to be taking orders from me, instead of the other way round. I can now see the reason why he had to scare Christians and make it seem as though going into many of these sectors can contaminate them. He clearly knows that he cannot compete with them. I think Satan must be really subtle.

But I have one more question ma. Are there people anointed by God to take and dominate sectors or is it open to every Christian?

Oti Stories: Well, have you ever wondered why, most times negative tends trends way more than good things? This shows you the large extent to which Satan has gained control. Again, this trends are also aimed at irritating Christians, just to make them feel that those areas are too filthy to ever get into. An example of such is politics, fashion etc.

Actually, everything must not be under the umbrella of gospel this or gospel that. When a song is a gospel song, that means it belongs to God. But God also desires to fill up things that are not in any way about him.

By saying this I mean that, as a fashion designer, you can rise up to design clothes and fill them with the power of the Holy spirit. So, when people wear these clothes, they come under the power of the Holy spirit. Anytime they wear these clothes things work for them, habits break, depression is lifted, they are healed, the plans of Satan cannot prosper cannot their lives all through that day etc.

Even as a lecturer, you can lecture course that has nothing to say about God, yet the power of God fills your classes. So in your classes demonic activities cannot thrive, students come under the power of the holy spirit, they conduct themselves well, their memories are supernaturally sharpened, their understanding is divinely enlightened.

As a beat producer, when people listen to your beats (even if there there are no words) they are suddenly full of joy and hope. Any vehicle that plays your tracks on, are always exempted from accident.

As a politician, you may not have a tag on, to tell the world that you are a Christian. But you are politician full of the power of God. People can’t explain why their hearts are drawn to you. When they see or listen to you, hope suddenly comes alive in them. They’d just know that with you as their leader things will improve for them. People in other parties could eve go as far as begging you to be their candidate. The works of those against you, never prosper no matter how hard they try. You decide things and they happen the way you want. You actually dominate and transform politics with the power of the HolySpirit.

The list goes on and on.

Finally, please, do no be afraid to shine. Ephesians 5:8 tells us that ….one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Therefore, you should walk as children of light. Honestly, you walk as children of light by shining. Don’t be afraid of darkness. When light decides to shine darkness cannot overcome it, according to John 1:5.

Sincerely, THE AREAS THAT ARE DARK IN THIS WORLD ARE THE AREAS THAT YOU & I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO LOOK AT. Where there is no light , there must be darkness.

Me: I’m amazed to hear this. I have received courage to rise up to purpose. Now, I see that the main purpose why a believer is still on earth, is to SHINE.

Oti Stories:

Before you go, I’d like you to repeat this after me:

I am the light of the world. The city set upon a hill. I cannot be hidden.

As God was with Moses and Joshua, so God is with me. God has called be to great and to take over. With God, No one shall be able to stand against me. I yeild myself to Holy spirit today. I give myself to intense and prolonged praying in the HolyGhost.

I step out to use my talent in the power of the HolySpirit. Through me God fills every sector that I find myself in life. Through me the power of Holy Spirit finds full expression expression and is maximally displayed of the works life on this earth in Jesus name. IN EVERYTHING I DO, I SHINE!!!!!

HE'S WILLING

If you have ever experienced any loss before now, you can still heal and have a good compensation for that loss. Read this story to see how..

When Stephanie was about 21 yrs old, she lost everyone in her family. This tragedy happened the day before her convocation. Her parents and siblings were on their way to the city where her school was located. It was about a seven hours drive. Five hours into the journey, they got entangled in a traffic jam which was as a result of the bad condition of the road. Unfortunately, as motorists were trying to slowly meander through the bad road, a tanker that was carrying petrol, suddenly fell across the road and exploded. All the cars in that traffic caught fire. And apparently that led to death of Stephanie’s entire family.

After Stephanie had managed to regain stability to an extent, she decided to continue her late father’s business. This was really tough for her. She was a graduate of micro biology and had no experience in business. But, she had already made up her mind not to rely on any of her relatives. She was determined to move on with her life independently.

Well, the business wasn’t going well for her. But, that didn’t stop her. She determined to never give up at all. The business meant so much to her. It was all she had left of her family and she was determined to never let it go or die. She kept on struggling to put the business together but there was no improvement at all. Finally, she bagan to give in to defeat. The business was at the verge of folding up. Then, all of a sudden she started to feel so alone. The tragic death of her parents and siblings, that happened 4 years ago, began to hit her afresh.

So, she decided to put the business on hold for a while, so as to enable her focus on healing completely from the pains of the tragic event. She had also realized that all her efforts on the business had been driven by the fear of been alone and the pain of losing her family.

So she decided to channel that fear and pain to God. She began to blame God and seek answers from God. She really wanted to know why He allowed the tragic event to happen. She felt that she’d finally heal, if God would speak to her and reply her questions.

Therefore, she began pray and pray, asking God to speak. She also kept telling God that if he could take her family, then He should readily come and take responsibility of His actions.

It started like a simple prayer. Then she continued for a few days and later added fasting to it. But after about a week, her anger suddenly metamorphosed into a deep hunger for God and a strong desire for God’s help. She kept on crying out to God to at least take responsibility for His actions, most especially if he doesn’t want to explain His reasons for allowing her family to die.

At exactly a week and 2 days, she decided to take a short break from the prayers. During the break, she began to go through some social media posts. While doing that, she stumbled on a video with the caption “He’s Willing”. On seeing the caption of this video, she suddenly felt couragous and hopeful. Deep down, she knew that she needed to watch this video.

At the end of the video, she learnt that God was more willing to grant our requests and help us succeed, far more than we want Him to. The issue is that we don’t allow him to.

She could see from the short video, that all form of evil is from Satan. Satan likes to make God seem bad and wicked. In other to do that, he steals, kills and destroys. By the time he’s done, he starts whispering lies to victims, telling that God should be blamed. As a result, people would become double minded and unsure of God’s willingness to help them always. This hinders people, from opening their hearts to totally trust God because they have become unsure of God’s willingness to help them at all times.

On realizing this all of a sudden, Stephanie got up and began to proclaim this:- “God is good to me. Satan you killed my family and you want to stop me from receiving God’s help. No! I won’t allow you do any further damage to my life. God is a good God! God is a good God! God is good to me. I receive God’s goodness upon my life now to heal me and help me”.

This revelation really changed her attitude towards life and the family business. She began to give herself to praying for the business, because she knew that God is more willing to help her more than she wanted him to. She began to boldly meet investors and take risks. Her confidence in God’s willingness to help her, totally influenced her approach to business and life in general. Surprisingly, her goods went from local to national and then international.

Today, she has this to say;- “even if my family were to be alive, they wouldn’t have been able to help me go as far as God has brought me. God is more than the whole world. God is a perfect compensation for any loss. Although I miss them, the pain of losing my family is no longer there. I feel complete in God, knowing that He’s always willing to do more than I can ever ask or think”.

God is in covenant with you through the shed blood of Jesus. This is why, God is always there for you. He is not an author of evil. When you pray, be confident in God’s total certainty and willingness to help you.

POWER SUPPLY

| Drop Comments |

Somehow, I didn’t believe that prayer is effective. It was because, I had a sibling who prayed more and saw less results. I had joined her severally in her prayer sessions. And on those occasions I can testify that I felt really blessed. In fact, I was so assured within that we were going to see manifestations of miracles in our lives, after those prayer sessions. Unfortunately, things remained normal. We never saw any change in our lives. This used to really get me very discouraged and reluctant to join her whenever she prays. Eventually, I stopped praying. And I kept wondering why she always continued praying, even though she doesn’t see the results like she ought to.

So one day, I decided to challenge her. I told her that she should stop praying and invest those prayer times in other profitable activities. I told her that prayer works for people who are anointed, and that it doesn’t work for everyone. Immediately, I was done challenging her something unusual happened.

The power went off! So, we turned on the power generator. After turning on the generator, we discovered that it wasn’t supplying power to the building. We turned off the generator, checked the plugs, the oil and turned it on again. Yet, there was no power supplied to the house. We switched the generator’s light switch off and on. Yet, there wasn’t any power in the house. It was already 8pm, and too late to get anyone to fix the issue for us. It felt more frustrating because the whether was hot, and we weren’t sure how long it would take for normal power to be restored.

So, we turned off the generator since there was no use leaving it on.

The night was hot. The heat was much. We couldn’t sleep. We kept on hissing and wishing that light would be miraculously restored. At around 2am, I couldn’t take it anymore. As a result of the heat, I had taken my bath 8 times already. The night had become too long to me.

So, out of frustration, I marched to the power generator.

I was angry and frustrated. I ignored the fact that the generator couldn’t supply power to the house. I just marched there like I had some sort of powers to make it work. So, I turned the generator on again.

Well, nothing changed. The generator was running, but there was no power supply to the building. Truth be told, I broke down in tears. I had never experienced a night as hot as that. I was dripping with sweat. It was so bad and strange. Then suddenly, I saw light in the house while the generator was still running.

As I was still trying to figure out whether the source the light was from the normal power supply or the generator’s power supply, I heard my sister’s voice saying, “… aha! We didn’t change over. Please come inside… the change over switch was still on the normal light. I’ve switched it over to the generator. Can you hear me?… ”

That was how I got the answer to my question.

As we began to laugh about the mistake, my sister suddenly stopped talking. She looked as if she was processing a thought. After a few seconds she began to speak,
“Wait wait wait…. Oh I see…. No wonder… Wow. Do you remember that James 5:16b says, that the earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]?

Hmmmm, I can now see that when we pray, we are like a power generator. And when we pray continuously, we make power supply available. Just in the same way, we have 50% of our appliances turned on as we speak as a result of power supply, the power of the Holy Spirit in us, which is made available when we pray in the HolyGhost, works dynamically. That is, it can supply power to and produce miracles in all the areas, issues, challenges, needs etc in our lives, and at the same time. But, now I know that we have been making a mistake. Just like what happened today, my sister, we have been power supply available but we have not been channeling it to our lives.

Do you remember that every time we finished praying, we usually have that inner peace that we were going to see wonders take place in different areas of our lives? I can see now that, the power supply was already available for it to happen. We only needed to channel it intentionally”

Then we both looked at each other and chorused, “WE DON’T CHANNEL IT”.

While my sister was still analyzing this to herself, I brought out a jotter and began to write out the issues I desired the workings of miracles. All of sudden I could see how advantageous prayer could be to my life. The kind of understanding and zeal that I had received, made me feel that God had allowed what happened that night, just for me to understand why it felt like praying was ineffective to me.

Seriously, I and my sister had been praying in tongues and not speaking what we wanted to see, by the power of the HolySpirit as we prayed. You won’t believe that I totally ignored my sister and began to pray. I didn’t stop praying until 6am that morning. While praying in tongues, I also made the decrees concerning the area of my life that I had written down in the jotter. I did this everyday. And in 6 months we experienced a great change of levels in our lives . The miraculous eventually became our normal. But that was not all.

There was still an unanswered question in my mind. So while I was praying one day, I decided to ask God for the answer in prayer.

This was the question….
“Lord, I feel I am not channeling this power supply adequately. I feel I am only limiting this power supply to my prayer requests. Lord I just know within, that the power of the HolySpirit can power much more than my prayer requests. I want to do justice to the power supply made available every time I pray. But, I don’t know what to do. What should I do Lord?”

Here’s the answer I got,
“My word is Sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; there is no area and height of life that my word doesn’t cut across. Search my word and write down all the promises you can take from it. Speak those promises and channel power to the manifestations of those promises. And you shall have good success that exceeds all you can ever ask or think. Your life would become a wonder to you and many generations”.

As a result of this, I see great things happen in my life everyday. I have decided to share this with you because I see Christians pray in tongues and still complain. Most times, when they make power available, they channel this power to negative confessions and complains rather than speaking victory and God’s promise over their lives.

The power generator generates power and makes it available. But with us, the power of the HolySpirit is in us. You make this power available for use, when you pray in tongues. Don’t shut your mouth afterwards. Speak your victory as you pray in tongues. Glorrryyyy

BIG AUTHORITY

No matter how tough life may seem. No matter how fierce and terrible that attack from Satan feels or looks. Don't be afraid! There is something in you that causes life to answer to you. FIND OUT IN THIS STORY

I was in a desperate need for a job, due to several challenges and family burdens.

I had put in applications to several openings but didn’t get any positive response. Well, I kept on trying because I didn’t have any choice. Getting a job as soon as possible was my only way out seeing that I needed money to sort out a lot of things.

Finally! Finally! I eventually got an email to resume work immediately. It was a great relief to me. In short, that day I was super excited. But, I had doubts on the ingenuity of this job offer because the name of this company didn’t sound familiar to me. Although I had applied to so many companies, I was very sure that I didn’t apply to this company. So I began to wonder how this company enlisted me as a staff without receiving any application letter from me. But, I later concluded that it might have been a miracle. Actually, on the day I resumed I saw for myself that the job was real. Therefore, how they got me employed wasn’t anything to worry about anymore. Afterall, why should I reject a miracle?

This miracle suddenly turned sour when I was told the nature of my job. I had been employed as a traffic warden to control traffic at the cross junction close to the company. Although I was offered a fat salary for this, the nature of the job really did put me off.

I thought to myself… “This road is one of the busiest roads in this city. Is this job not a death sentence? “. As though my supervisor could hear my thoughts, he said to me, “don’t worry, I’d assign someone to assist and guide you until you are used to the job”.

So, I consented to the job and was handed my uniforms. And after all due protocols were observed, I started to the job that same day.

In short, I could describe my first week at work as a terrible mess. I was often seen running out of the road whenever a fast moving vehicle approaches the junction. I always feared that the drivers would refuse to stop when I signal them to stop. I also feared that the drivers could get out of control and hit me. To avoid being hit, most times I jumped out of the road. Other times, I got so confused to the extent of giving wrong traffic signals that often led to minor accidents or severe traffic jams.

Every time, I had to show up at work was like a death sentence for me. But I still showed up anyways, because I needed the salary to pay my numerous bills.

After two months of trying to adjust and adapt to the nature of my job, my supervisor summoned me to his office.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the way I went about my job. Then he also asked me if I wanted to quit my job. Although I was scared of losing my job, I sincerely explained my fears to him. I told him how much I needed the job as well as my in-capabilities regarding the job. But by the time I was done talking, he smiled at me and said “I will help you! But, I’d like to ask a question. Are you a Christian? If you are then it would make the process a lot better.”

Me: Yes, I am sir.

My supervisor: Great! Do you know what it means when the bible says “resist the devil and he will flee from you?”

Me: Yes sir! I think it means, if I tell the devil to go , he would leave sir.

My supervisor: Good! Why do you think the devil would leave just like that, when you tell him to go?

Me: Because God the almighty has given me the authority to tell the devil to go sir. Ehm…. since the authority is from God the devil has no choice but to go sir.

My Supervisor: What if you were a 5 year old child, would Satan still go?

Me: I think it doesn’t matter the age or size of the Christian sir, or even the intentions of Satan. If a Christian tells Satan to leave, he has no choice but to leave. I think that’s because God has given every Christian the authority to do so sir. So, when the Christian speaks it is as though God is the one giving the command and…….

My Supervisor: Bravo! You even knew more than I thought. So young lady, this company has given you the authority to control the traffic on this road. Don’t stand at your duty post like a beggar. Give your signals with authority. The reason why drivers have been disobeying your signals is, because you don’t look and behave like you’ve got the authority to give those signals. Rather than taking you seriously, they feel you don’t know what you are doing and decide to do what they want. I have watched you severally and I have seen you give traffic signals looking afraid and confused. STOP THAT RUBBISH! Now leave my office!

As I walked out of his office, I felt like I was walking into light. My supervisor’s illustration of Satan leaving at the command of a Christian, had reformed my mind to see my job differently. And most importantly see life differently. I knew all these before now, but it never made this much sense to me like it does now.

I suddenly had so much courage and audacity welling up on the inside of me to deal with The Satan, behind all my pressing issues. I was grateful to God for my fat salary, but at that point, I felt it would be better to enjoy it rather than spend it on settling problems every month. Especially now, that I know that all I need to do is, tell Satan to leave with the authority given to me by God, and be sure that he leaves immediately.

I need not tell you that my attitude to work totally changed. I started carrying myself like one who had been authorized to give traffic signals. And no motorist ever disobeyed me again. There dared not!. When I give my traffic signals, I never give it a second thought. My mind became so fixed on the fact that I had been given the authority over the motorists at that junction and at that particular time, to determine how they should move. I looked at those vehicles with courage and so much audacity, setting my heart on the fact that they don’t have any other choice but to obey me.

But then, I also would like to share with you how my life turned around through this. Staring at the face of every problem I had, I commanded Satan to take his hands off in the name of Jesus. While doing this, I had it in mind that I was speaking in the authority of God through the name of Jesus… Deep down I settled in my heart that no matter how big Satan looked in the spirit, and how small I may seem to him in the physical, I am backed up by the big authority. When I give the command, what Satan hears and sees, is God giving that command. He cannot say no. He cannot revolt. He bows and runs away. I see it like a 3 year old princess giving orders to a dangerous lion. And at her command, this dangerous lion sees the fierceness of the King, her father in this little girl, instead of her size and her feeble strength.

Guess what? One by one all those problems faded out with ease. I won’t say that problems have all stopped coming, but I am not afraid because when they come I call the shots. I am the one with the big authority. 😊 Are you a Child of God? You have this big authority also… please don’t waste it… use it… Satan will not leave until you command him to. If an issue is caused by Satan, then it’s work-made-easy. Just use your big authority and command him to leave in Jesus name

SURROUNDED

You can either choose to read or listen to this story

In the month of February, I had a series of challenges and attacks. I was very frustrated. I was falling sick very often. It was from one illness to the other. The doctors were so confused because all my test results showed that nothing was wrong with me. At night, I would hear different kinds of sounds in my room. It was terrible.

I am a christian. I pray in the Holy Spirit, I fast, I give, I make positive declarations. I did all these over and over again believing God would step into my situation.

In March , I began to dry up. I was getting dressed to go for a brief walk when I noticed that all my clothes were looking oversized. I sat down on my bed feeling very afraid because it dawned on me that I wasn’t just sick. I was dying. And the most frustrating part is that, the nature of this sickness was still a mystery.

It all began on the 28th of January. On my way back from the office, I started to feel pains around my chest. I assumed that it would subside once I get some rest. But it became more severe. Then it began to extend to my back. Then after about a week, I began to feel very sick.

After running some Xrays, tests and all, I was told that I was perfectly okay. But deep down I knew something was wrong. So I began to pray. I surrendered the entire situation to God in prayers. Then one day, it was impressed in my heart to start listening to messages on healing and confessing scriptures on healing. So, I downloaded some messages on healing & began to listen to them. I did that for a couple of days. You know, I expected the pains to subside & for me to get well. But I didn’t get better. The pains tripled six days after I started doing what God told me to do. I couldn’t even get out of bed. So I said to myself: “I’m going back to the hospital. Perhaps my faith isn’t strong enough for this situation. It’s not working.”

So I went back to the hospital and they placed me on a new set of drugs. Yeah, I got a little bit relieved. But then I was so fed up & frustrated. I couldn’t go to the office as much as I used to anymore or even do things that I used to do before now. So I took out a seed and sowed it. Then I prayed to God and I believed that I am healed. I told God I had sown because I am sure I am healed.

And there it was. My faith suddenly became revived. I began to make declarations over my health everyday. I had so much faith on the inside of me. I knew that was it. My healing was going to manifest.

But sadly, 2 weeks after, I still wasn’t completely well. Even though my faith was still up, there wasn’t really any change. I became even more discouraged when the symptoms of illness & the pains began to intensify.

At that point, I began to feel like giving up on God. I no longer felt like praying. Yet, I felt a push inside of me to start praising God for my healing. It felt like God had already healed me. I felt joy welling up inside of me and it kept pushing me to praise God.

But, because of my anger towards God and how discouraged I had become, I did all I could to ignore this push until, that very day I looked into the mirror to find out that I was drying up. Despite how discouraged I was, the push to praise God still remained. It was an uncontrollable joy. A sweet tingling feeling on the inside.

So out of frustration, I burst into tears. I told God to help me. I explained how horrible and frustrated I felt because my healing hadn’t manifested. So, I said to God , “I GIVE UP. I just want to look to you and lean on you. Please help me out of this. Please help me. Medicine has failed me. Please don’t fail me. I still hope in you Lord”

And like snap I had a vision. In that vision, I saw myself duplicated in two places.

I saw these duplicates of me in a battle. These duplicates were standing on their own and they were individually in battle & surrounded by thousands of enemies. The enemies were charging towards each of my duplicates. It was a very frightful sight .

Then all of a sudden, my attention was drawn to one of my duplicates. As I looked keenly to see how she’s going to defeat the forces against her, I saw her raise both hands to heaven. She was praising God and confessing healing scriptures & making declarations. Her trust was completely in God. She was full of joy. But then I noticed that she kept looking at & observing the enemies as they charged towards her. As she did this, I began to see a great force like a strong wind surrounding her. But I really don’t think she could see or feel this wind. It was only visible to the enemies I guess. So as the enemies came close, they were immediately blown away by this wind.

Her hands were still up when suddenly, something like an arrow cloved in fire was shot at her from the midst of the enemy. The moment she saw the arrow fired in her direction, she dropped her hands & bent down, in fear & panic. Then all of a sudden, I saw the strong wind that was twirling around her fade away immediately . This made it easy for the arrow to hit her and leave her badly injured.

Shortly after, I saw the second duplicate. She did exactly what the first duplicate had done. Her hands were also raised to heaven. She was also praising God and confessing healing scriptures & making declarations.

But there was something different. She never looked at the enemies. She was so focused on God & very much at peace as though she wasn’t in a battle. I could see that her trust was completely in God and that she was full of joy.

Then suddenly, I saw that same arrow cloved in fire, been shot at her. This time the arrow looked very fierce. As it moved in her direction, it made a frightful loud sound, which I think it made just to distract her.

But to my surprise, she looked towards the arrow, laughed at it and looked up again with her hands lifted high. Guess what! The arrow didn’t even get to the strong wind that surrounded her at all. It just turned back, exploded and consumed all the enemies.

Then I heard a loud voice say to me :

“When you feel surrounded by battles, remember that you are surrounded by God.”

By the time I regained consciousness. I knew what I had to do was take my eyes off what I can see and focus on what Jesus has done for me on the cross, giving Him thanks. There were days the pain increased but then I’d just laugh at it & hold on to God’s word concerning my healing for me. To be honest with you, I don’t even know when the symptoms eventually disappeared. I decided not to be conscious of it. All I know now is I have divine health at work in me & that I have no more pains because Christ has won the battle over sickness for me & healed me. I have healing on the inside of me hallelujah.

This is applicable not any circumstance or situation you may be faced with. Just remember IF IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY THE ENEMY, JUST REMEMBER YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY GOD. We fight with our hands lifted up and It always ends in Victory ✌

YOURS FOR FREE

This is a very lovely story that would show you how the devil gets to rob and defraud people of what they own.

I couldn’t stop laughing. What I had just seen was just too funny. How is it possible that something that is yours is sold back to you? And to crown it all, it was sold to you as though you were been done a favor. This is what happened…

I turned on my pressing iron just to discover that it was no longer heating up. So I went to the electronic shop not too far from my house to get a new one ASAP because I needed to be at a meeting in the next 3hours.

On getting there, I looked through the various brands of pressing irons and made a pick. Then I hurried to the salesperson to pay for it.

On getting to the sales person, I met a customer who was about to make payments for a small piece of radio. He looked very tattered and untidy. His clothes were oversized and there was an offensive smell oozing from him.

On seeing how he looked, I decided to step aside undermining that I was in a hurry. As I watched him speak with the salesperson, I observed that the sales person seemed to be very comfortable with him. He seemed not to mind that this customer was dirty. They shook hands and hugged each other. I was surprised at that. So out of curiosity, I moved closer to them to watch them closely.

First, after they hugged each other, the customer asked the salesman for the cost of the radio. And to my surprise the salesman said thirty-five thousand naira. I almost exploded because that radio is normally sold for one thousand naira only. But then, I held my peace when I saw that the customer was very comfortable with the price. I observed that he couldn’t speak English very well. And that he actually had the accent of one who came from Northern Nigeria. After he was done with communicating with the salesman on the quality of the radio, he dipped his hands into a bag, and brought out bundles of money. He counted out thirty five thousand naira and then returned the remaining bundles back to the bag.

But here’s what really got be laughing. The salesman wrapped the radio and handed it off to the customer. I was already asking myself, “what about the receipt? ” when the salesman said to the customer, “there’s something you must have so that the police would never ever take this radio from you. It would cost you five thousand naira sir”.

He pulled out the receipt of the radio and showed it to the customer. He told the customer that, it was a special document that would give him immunity from being disturbed by the police. Just as before, the customer brought out a few bundles of money. He counted out five thousand naira and handed it over to the salesman in exchange for the receipt to the radio that he had already purchased. It was at that point that I was moved to challenge the salesman. But I heard the Holy Spirit say “STOP” and then He began to laugh. He said to me…

“Isn’t it funny that that man got his own receipt sold to him? As funny and foolish as it looks, this is exactly what the devil does. He tries to sell to man what already belongs to man through redemption. The devil tells people to make sacrifices, join cults, kill people, give their soul etc… just to have what Jesus had paid the price for everyone man/woman to have.”

The man happily paid for the receipt. He expressed how grateful he was to the salesman for informing him about the special receipt and for selling the receipt to him. As soon as the man left, I paid for my Pressing iron, took my receipt and headed home. But, I couldn’t stop laughing. In fact, I laughed all the way home. How can a receipt for what you purchased be sold to you? And to my surprise, during the question and answer session of the meeting that I was invited to on that same day, a young man stood up. And then he popped his question…

“Ma, I’d like to be honest here. I have seen people go to the devil and before you know it, they get the fame, money and desire the want. There’s a particular uncle from my mother’s side who is doing very well. In fact, he has been the one helping my family. Everyone knows that he’s in the occult. But on the other hand, my father has been a christian since I was born. And till today, there’s nothing to show for it. That has made despise being a Christian. I followed a friend to this meeting. For the first time, I really feel like surrendering to Jesus Christ. But I have thoughts of how successful my occultic uncle is and how poor my father who is a christian, had been. Ma, why does it seem so easy to get things from the devil? “

On hearing his question, I immediately had a flashback to what had transpired at the electronic shop earlier that day. I stood up, and told him the story. And then everyone burst into laughter. Afterwhich, I added saying;

“That customer wouldn’t have paid for the receipt if he knew that it was his for FREE. All the things people go to the devil for are the same things he had stolen when Adam fell. When Jesus came to redeem us, He took back those things and gave us the right of ownership to those things.

The devil loves to steal, kill and destroy. What he does is bring what we have to us and then promise to give them to us if we would kill for him, surrender our lives (which Jesus had already taken from him) back to him or even cause havoc for him. He capitalizes on our ignorance.

Does your dad know that God Has made him rich? Has he ever demanded for his wealth?

Are you very sure that your uncle is living a peaceful life free from the shedding of innocent blood and violating the peace of his conscience?

Everything you want is yours for free. Know it, believe it, think it, speak it and pray it to manifestation.”

A NEW LEVEL

There's still hope for you. As you go through this very insightful story, you'd see how easy it is to rise and soar above regression, death, stagnation and oppression. You'd be awakened and propelled into a new level.

| Drop Comments |

The past five years have been very very interesting for me. But then, I didn’t really feel fulfilled because I had certain expectations and results that I had not seen. As a matter of fact, there was no approach that I didn’t try. But, they never produced any of my expected results. It wasn’t as if I didn’t make progress. I did. But it was never commensurate to my efforts.

After a while, I eventually got fed up, frustrated and confused. Because in one word I could say “NOTHING WAS WORKING”. I had gotten worn out from putting in so much effort, becoming so excited about the expected outcome and eventually getting disappointed. It even became more unbearable when I started checking out others. I realized that some people were getting so many results, even when they weren’t putting in as much effort as I was.

After a few days of dwelling in self pity, I decided to give up everything. I made up my mind to stop! I told myself that henceforth, I was just going to warm the back seat of life and watch others do their thing. I stopped my business and found myself a meager job, just enough to put food on my table. But then, I wasn’t used to being idle. I realized that I needed something to concentrate on.

Around that time, the church I attended on Sundays happened to be preparing for a program. And they needed volunteers. Well, I decided to volunteer and take part in the planning process everyday, after my working hours. It was quite helpful but I didn’t actually enjoy it because I really didn’t know much about Christianity. The organizing team always gets into conversations about certain things in Christianity, their revelations, experiences etc. and I often felt bad because most times, I am the only one who would hardly have anything to say or contribute in those discussions.

The program kicked off two weeks later. I didn’t want to attend, since I wasn’t really a church person. But then I had already involved myself by being part of the preparatory process. So I had to be there. I can still remember, on my way to the program that evening, I told myself that after that program, I’d return to attending church service only on Sundays. I also told myself that I’d prefer to be part of an NGO instead. At least there, I’d find people that I can relate with without having to feel odd.

So I got there in time, and decided to take part in ushering. The program went “church as usual” until the guest speaker finally came up. And for the very first time, since I started attending church, I felt a very mighty, calm, peaceful and refreshing presence in the building. It got very intense that I left my duty as an usher, grabbed a seat for myself and focused on what the guest speaker was saying. I really didn’t understand what that feeling was. It grew stronger and stronger. And the next time I opened my eyes, I found out that the service was already over and that I was lying there on the altar. It assumed I passed out or something. Because all I could remember was that I went out to be prayed for during the altar call.

After regaining full consciousness of my environment, I lifted myself up and headed home. Now, on my way home, I had just one thing on my mind; which was the strange presence that I had felt during service. I suspected that presence was responsible for my passing out. I tried to figure it out but it was totally strange to me. So, I concluded that I was going to see the church pastor the following day concerning it. Yet, I was unable to get it off my mind right till I went to bed.

That night, I prayed before falling asleep for the very first time. My little prayer went like this;

Dear God, how are you doing? Ehhhmmm I know you are the almighty. Well, I decided to stop being that Sunday stranger and today I surrendered to you. Thank you for accepting me. And I’m sorry that I’d have to bother you this early since it’s barely 5 hours since I became your responsibility. Today I felt something very weird in church and I can’t seem to get it off my mind. I’d like to know what it was about God? Thank you once again God. I’m in your hands tonight. In Jesus name I have prayed… Amen.

So that night, I had a dream that changed my life.

In that dream, I found myself somewhere very beautiful. But shockingly it was filled with that same stuff I felt in church. It was so intense that I could say that I was in its headquarters. Despite the fact that it was very intense, it wasn’t really very overwhelming. Somehow, I could handle it. I felt normal as I enjoyed the feeling of this stuff. I didn’t pass out at all. Then all of a sudden I found myself somewhere else again.

It was also a very beautiful place but not in any way like that of the first place. It was beautiful but it seemed as if everything was decaying and drying up. There was no stability. Things make little progress and then regress. I could see things struggling to grow. It was though there was a mist hovering around that was stifling everything and resisting everything from making progress.

As I stood there watching, I began to notice that same presence around me and filling me up. It was as though it was encapsulating me like a bubble inside out.

Then, almost immediately I heard a voice say to me:

“This is the presence of the most high God; the presence of the Holy Spirit. In His presence there is fullness of joy, it gives life, propels, strengthens and directs. You had a taste of what heaven looks like a moment ago right? So you know, It looks so wonderful because of this same presence of God.

Before you were born, God ordained you for greatness. And your greatness has been made possible and easy by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Your efforts didn’t yield much because you applied them in the natural. On earth, Satan is the god of the world. He goes around to kill, steal and to destroy. But the presence of God gives life.”

“You got baptized with the Holy spirit when you passed out in church. Now not only does the presence of the Holy spirit reside in you, you now have the power and tool to generate so much of it to influence and give life to everything you do. You have been empowered to prosper. You have entered a new level. ”

Suddenly, I found myself speaking in tongues. Then I began to rise higher and higher. Then I entered that evil mist that had forced everything to struggle and make little progress. While I was still inside that mist, I kept speaking in tongues and after a while, I shot out of the mist. It felt like I had entered a state victory, where I could never experience any resistances ever again. Then again, that same voice said to me…

“IT’S A NEW LEVEL FOR YOU… CHARACTERIZED WITH FAVOR, GRACE, ABUNDANCE AND TAKE OVER. “

I woke up immediately. And at that moment, I felt really transformed, changed, empowered etc.. I didn’t waste any time at all. I began to pray in the Holy Spirit. It was funny how the lazy christian suddenly obtained favor from God. I thank God for His grace. He is indeed truly full of mercy and grace.

After that dream, I had an understanding that I am a channel to bring the beauty of heaven to earth, by default. I understood that I had been blessed with the power and presence of God through the in-filling of the holy spirit. I also had a conviction within that the more I generate the power and presence of the Holy Spirit and Keep it Up, nothing would be impossible.

I went back to my businesses that I had packed up, with the consciousness that I had entered a new level characterized with favor, grace, speed, abundance and take over. I spent time powering this new level by praying in tongues daily. As I prayed, l always kept the picture of me at a new level in my mind. Somehow I didn’t believe it alone; rather, I kept channeling the power and presence of the Holy spirit in me to this word “I have entered a new level.” And in a matter of a few weeks, my businesses began to shoot up. My efforts began to yield high results easily. Just as it was in that dream, I began to make progress as though there was a great force pushing me higher and higher, even till today.

Please let me tell you a secret. God has given you that new level that you desire. You enter into it by believing it’s yours and then power it by praying into the Holy Ghost.

Just the way you can tilt a rocket to the direction you want it to go, you can channel this New Level to whatever the works of your hands and expectations are. But most importantly you must see yourself in it and power it. In the new level that God has given you, like a rocket you will shoot above the sky, move with speed and take over territories in Jesus name…. Happy New Year…

DRAWN FROM ITS SCABBARD

Have you ever prayed against something bad, only for it to still happen? Do you doubt that prayer actually works? Read and find out why it happened.

Let me tell you a story.

That morning, we all assembled in the sitting room. It was exactly 7am and it was raining cats and Dog. Well, our Dad had to embark on a journey that morning. Suddenly, my younger sister began to feel weird about the journey. So we decided to pray with daddy before he steps out. Personally, I had a strange dream the previous night, concerning daddy’s trip. In that dream, I saw my Dad in a ghastly motor accident. I woke up feeling very frightened. But then, I suddenly remembered a phrase that I always hear at the beginning of every “Prayers for Today” with Oti Stories Prayer Buzz. And it says, “when we pray, everything becomes possible”. But I soon forgot about it all until my younger sister mentioned her uneasy feeling about daddy’s journey. Well, I was very confident that, if we prayed, my dad would have a safe trip.

Also read the previous story;HALF-WAY UP

So we held hands while I decided to take the prayers. By the time we were done praying, the rain had stopped. So without any further delay, daddy went into the car. I dropped his bags in the booth, and watched my sister drive daddy off to the motor park. Edna loved driving a lot, so most times, we allow her do the driving. I mean, you just have to allow her to drive if you valued your peace of mind for the next couple of days. Otherwise, she’d nag and nag and nag.

As soon as the car left the compound, I went in to prepare for an appointment. While I was still in the shower, I began to hear my phone ring from the bedroom. Unfortunately, I wasn’t willing to leave the shower until I was done. But the phone didn’t stop ringing. At first, I ignored it. But, I began to get very uncomfortable with it because the phone kept ringing again and again and again. So I rushed out to see who this caller was. I picked up my phone and saw 15 missed calls from Edna , my younger sister. I called her back immediately, but her number didn’t go through. My heart began to race fast. I tried everything I could to stay calm and remain positive. I waited for 10 mins before trying her number again. Yet, I couldn’t reach her neither did she even call.

So I rushed back to the bathroom, rinsed my body properly, and dressed up, just in case I may need to step out. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t get this worried at all because it may be that my sister wanted to enquire about something or the car had broken down on her way home, etc… But I couldn’t just feel at ease because all the while, the dream I had the previous night kept flashing in my mind. After waiting for an hour for a call from my sister, I decided to quit my unfruitful attempt to stay calm and positive. I headed straight to the motor park to see if I could find her there.

On my way to the motor park, a call finally came in. I grabbed my phone as though my life depended on it just to find that the call was from Alex, my sister’s friend. I was a little disappointed on seeing that the call wasn’t from my sister. But I took the call only to find out that it was my sister Edna , who was actually trying to reach me through Alex’s phone.

She was crying and panicking as she broke the news over the call….

“The bus that Daddy boarded lost its brake shortly after it had left the moto park. The bus left its lane and collided with

a heavy duty vehicle. I tried reaching you but, you weren’t picking up. I managed to text Alex just before my battery died.”

Well, to cut a long story short, it happened that my dad was the only passenger who survived the accident. Only that he was badly injured. It was so serious that he had to spend months in the hospital. But the issue is that, even though my dad had survived the accident, this question kept on lingering on my mind, ” Didn’t we pray? Why then did the accident still happen?”. This made me doubt the effectiveness of my prayers, every time I prayed about anything. It seemed to me that prayers do not work exactly as your desired results. And with time, I began to live in fear. Fear that prayers could be partially answered or not answered at all.

I continued to live in serious fear and doubt on the effectiveness of prayer until I stumbled over a post on Telegram. This particular post was posted by Oti Stories Prayer Chain. And said:

“The Authority God gave Man, cannot be exercised or put to use by God on Man’s behalf. This authority is likened to a Sword that is kept in a Scabbard, and cannot be used by just anyone but its owner”

On reading that post, my eyes suddenly opened to the truth. I believe God allowed me to see that post so that I could be totally free from living in fear and doubt on the effectiveness of prayer. I stayed on that post for about 15 minutes. I kept going over it again and again. The more I did, the more I understood it.

Then just like a flash, I recalled the events on the day my dad was involved in that fatal accident. Then all of a sudden it occurred to me that the reason why the accident still occurred even after I had prayed against it, was because I didn’t use my authority. I could recall that rather than commanding the devil to take his hands-off the journey, commanding every plan of the devil against the trip to stop and commanding the already revealed accident to be abolished, I prayed that God should remove every demon that would cause daddy to get involved in an accident.

I got to understand that the command is for us to give and that decree is for us to make. Whatever decree we make on earth, is carried out by heaven. Infact, the Angels that are assigned to us no just take action by assumptions. Rather, they move at our command. The word says in Mark 16:17b “..in my name they shall cast out demons”. It occurred to me that there’s no scripture in the bible that says that God would cast out the demons for you. God didn’t even calm the storm for Jesus. Rather Jesus commanded it to stop.

I thought God had only answered the question that kept lingering in my mind after the accident. Little did I know that God also gave me the answer for what was also coming in the future.

Surprisingly, that very night, I had the exact dream that I had on the night before the accident.This dream revealed to me that, of a fact, the devil had been after my dad’s life. I knew had an unfinished business. So I headed for my dad’s room the next morning. Even though he had been discharged from the hospital, he still had to use a wheelchair because he had totally lost the use of his legs.

I knew deep within that God been faithful, had heard the prayer we made the morning the accident occured. And out of His faithfulness, He preserved my dad’s life. But He also needs someone to use the authority He has given to man over the devil.

As soon as I entered his room, I greeted him, asked about his welfare and then moved closer to his bedside. Without delaying any further, I took a deep breath and then laid my hands on my father. Then I spoke with authority,

“I command you Satan to take your hands off my dad’s life now. I command your activities against my dad to stop now and be gone forever. Satan, I do not permit you to be after the life of dad ever again IN JESUS NAME AMEN”

Nothing spectacular happened after that. But I wasn’t affected by it in anyway. I had already been set free from fear and doubt on the effectiveness of prayers. So my confidence was already built on Mark 16:17b. The fact that nothing spectacular happened after I had prayed, couldn’t even dissuade me from my renewed confidence in the effectiveness of prayer. I believed it was already done and that heaven was already moving in response to my decree.

Few days past, then one week and then two weeks. Still, dad’s condition remained the same. But on the third week, I suddenly saw my dad walking. He walked all by himself, from his room into the living room where I was watching a movie. I got up immediately and began to jump and leap for joy. He later informed me that he just began to have an unusual urge to stand up. So he tried to stand up and discovered that he could now walk.

But that’s not all. I’d also want to ask you if you have ever used that authority Jesus has given you over principalities and powers. If No, why not use it now? Command the devil to take his already defeated hands off every area of your life (your marriage, your kids, business, ministry and even your country) now. An authority that is put to use is like “a Sword drawn from its Scabbard”. I also recommend that you join the Oti Stories Prayer Buzz on Telegram today. It’s a wonderful family that would ignite your prayer life and help you live in victory easily.

HALF WAY UP

Have you ever experienced a breakthrough, particularly in an area of your life, only for things to suddenly come to halt? Do you pray a lot, yet it seems your prayers aren't getting you anywhere? Read this story and be Blessed...

After searching for a job for many years, I decided to give up the search. On the 5th of January 2013, I received my last NO from a company that I had applied to.

ALSO READ PREVIOUS STORY: Fired to Execute
I am a very beautiful, neat and intelligent lady. I graduated with a first class from a highly reputable institution. I speak 3 different foreign languages. Yet, not any of these could qualify me for a job. Rather, I watched those who were not even as qualified as I am been handed their employment letters.
At a time when it dawned on me that I wasn’t going in through the front door, I decided to try the “Hook and Crook” method. But unfortunately, it yielded no fruit. I was often times, only used and dumped. I was milked dry financially and left in hopelessness, disappointment and a full of empty promises.
On the 5th of January, 2013, as one of the 5 finalists, I was to show up at the company to find out the final outcome of the interview. That morning, I walked into the company with high expectations. I felt there was no way I wasn’t going to get the job as I had performed better than the other 4 candidates the week before.
The five of us were told to wait at the reception hall. About an hour later, a lady walked up to us and handed over an envelope to each of us. I felt so relieved because I had the impression that we were all employed. I went home filled with gladness. But to my surprise, I opened the envelope on getting home to discover that I had been rejected. I broke down in tears. It even became more disheartening after I found out that the other 4 applicants were all employed except me.
I suddenly began to feel useless and worthless. In trying not to get depressed, I decided to glue myself to my smartphone. I began to spend more time on social media. That was when I stumbled over OTI STORIES. After reading some of the stories, I felt a lot relieved and so decided to contact OTI stories for counselling.
She prayed with me and then told me to pray for one hour everyday with scriptures that addressed my situation. I hadn’t received the gift if speaking in tongues then, so, I prayed in English. I did as she told me for 1 week. Yet, nothing happened. She told me to go on for another 1 week. But, after 3 days, I gave in to discouragement. I stopped communicating with her and I stopped praying as well. I began to feel that even God was not interested in me too. Then, two weeks later, something happened.
I got a call from an institution that I had applied to few years ago. They requested that I come over to pick up my employment letter. It sounded like a joke to me. I was filled with mixed feelings: joy, disappointment and surprise.
I was filled with joy because I had never heard those words said to me ever since I graduated from the university. “Please, come over to pick up your employment letter” was a statement I had longed to hear for years.
Again, I felt very disappointed because the salary was just too low. Then, I also felt very surprised because, it was a job that I had applied for years ago. I was never gotten back to. Only to receive a call from them 7 years after. I began to wonder…. “Did they keep my letter? How come I was suddenly remembered after many years? why would a job that I wasn’t given then be given to me 7 years later?”
Some hours later, I finally made up my mind to accept the offer. I sent a message to OTI STORIES, informing her about my sudden unexpected employment. Two days later, I received a reply from her saying:
“That was supposed to be given to you years ago. As a result of your praying, your lost harvests began to show up. This employment is one of them. The enemies who had withheld your jobs has been crushed and you shall begin to recover all your lost opportunities. Most amazingly, you’d even begin to enjoy greater opportunities as compensation for the times lost”.
“Well, it’s in your place to either take this job or not. But most importantly, keep praying earnestly, tirelessly, constantly and persistently.
I took the job but for some unknown reasons, what she told me never made any sense to me. I felt I had prayed enough and that since I had already begun see results, there was no need praying anymore. Unfortunately for me, three years passed like a dream and a better job never came.
I woke up that Saturday morning, to my 36th birthday with a strong feeling of dissatisfaction. It felt like I was not supposed to be at that point in life. It felt as though I ought to had moved from that particular point long ago.
Once again, like a flash, I remembered what OTI STORIES had told me. I jumped up from bed, located the scriptures that she had given then, and sprung to action immediately. She had informed me before that my prayers are very effective when using God’s Word. So although, I felt empty within, it didn’t cause me to doubt the effectiveness of my prayers. She had once told me that,
“ The effectiveness of your prayers as one who is born again, is a CONSTANT and that it NEVER VARIES, provided they are anchored on your confidence in God’s Word, with faith on the BLOOD SACRIFICE of Jesus Christ, and exercised in the authority in the name of Jesus”.
Three years before, I spent just one hour every day. But this time, I spent 3 hours everyday.
Just as she had said, places I had previously applied to began to call me, just two weeks after praying. I decided to go one more week before responding to any of them. One week later, they began to step up their salaries and allowances, as though there were silently competing for me. All of a sudden my relevance, high performances during the interviews as well as my high qualifications became remembered and visible to the firms that I had previously applied to.
Well, I ended up choosing the highest paying job with mouth watering allowances.
But again, I learnt that the adversary had held down what was rightfully mine
You might have said, “But I have been praying…”
Well, the question is,
“Are you praying right?
Are you praying God’s Word?
Are you doubting the effectiveness of your prayers?
Are you using the name of Jesus in Faith and not just an ordinary end statement to your prayers?
Is your faith anchored on the blood sacrifice of Jesus?
Are you praying consistently, constantly and continuously?
When you pray, is the death of your enemies your priority over enforcing the your heritage, right and good promises God has for you?”

FIRED TO EXECUTE

She is His daughter and He loves her so much. He wants the best for her so had taken His time to carefully and lavishly prepare the best for her.

READ THE PREVIOUS STORY: The Picture Within

She had a fat bank account that she’d never be able to exhaust, in her entire lifetime. Because He sought for a way to prove is matchless undying love from her, He went to do more than she could imagine. Yet, all He had done wasn’t up to half His love for her.

As I was still admiring His display of His love on her, I saw coming forward. I watched as she walked down the aisle to the altar. But then I noticed that she was looking very sad and that her eyes were filled with tears. At first, I thought it were tears of joy, but then I noticed that pain was all over her face and countenance. So, I became more curious to know what kind of prayers she was to render. I didn’t ever expect that she was going to ever wear such countenance in life, after all she’s got.

I moved closer to her and paid full attention to what she was going to say. Surprisingly, I couldn’t believe my ears. She said:

“Dear God, why have you forsaken me in life. I have been your child for 20 years now. Yet, I do not have job, I am poor, and at my age I still in my father’s house. There’s no suitor and no child.. why? why me? It is as though you have abandoned me Lord”

On hearing this, I became very confused. I couldn’t believe my ears and It was very shocking to me. I kept how and why this woman was living a life different from the life she is supposed to live. Just then, I heard a voice say to me: “SHE NEEDS FIRE, WE DESIRE FIRE”. After that, I was shown her address and was told to locate her. I was also told that the moment I find her, I would know exactly what to say to her. After that, I gained consciousness on planet earth. It felt as though I had just woken up and it was a very bright morning. Then I found myself on the way to her house. On arriving the address, I found her mowing her lawn. I walked up to her, introduced myself to her and began to speak to her. I can’t remember what exactly I said to her but I can remember that we exchanged contacts afterwards.

Then, 2 weeks later, I saw walking the isle again. As I stared at her, I wondered what she had come to pray about this time. Even though she was looking very sad, I also noticed that her dress had changed from rags, to a beautifully embroidered gold gown. I went closer to her like I did the other time so I would be able to hear what she was going to pray about. Unfortunately, I wasn’t given that privilege. She appeared mute to me while her lips kept moving. As I stood there wondering what I exactly I had told her that had made her dress change from rags to a beautiful and radiant gown, I heard a loud voice say to me:”LOOK CLOSELY!”. Then right before me saw this lady on earth, digging out, searching out and jotting down scriptures on God’s Love, the benefits of the sacrifice of Jesus and God’s Prosperity. Then shortly after, she began to pace her room, as she continually kept confessing and reciting in the name of Jesus,

the scriptures she had written down. As she continued doing this, I began to notice that her environment which looked cold, dry and deserted, had started to warm up like winter suddenly transitioning to spring. As soon as the transition had completed, I also noticed that she appeared to be encapsulated inside a huge bubble. Inside the bubble seemed alot brighter that the external surroundings of the bubble. From what I saw, I only understood that something had been activated. Apart from that, I didn’t really understand anything that was happening around her at that time.

A week later, I saw her again. This time, she wore a very beautiful gown. Despite the fact that she was still looking sad, I could obviously see that she was wearing a smile. I also was unable to hear what she was praying about but I was shown her state on earth again. On earth, I saw her pacing her room with the book where she had written down those scriptures. This time, I noticed that she was no longer reading out those scriptures. Rather, she had turned them into declarations. It was as if the words had gotten into her on the inside and that she was only using them by bringing them out from within her. Again, I also noticed that the bubble she was in, had gotten bigger and brighter. As I kept gazing at her, heard a voice say to me:

“God’s Will is expressed in His Love and God’s Love is expressed in His Will. She has recognized God’s Love and have begun to enter the Will of God”. Then, I woke up.

I couldn’t’ wait to see for myself. So, I gave her a call immediately and she was so happy to hear from me. I asked her about her well-being. Then, she replied that she had been experiencing great changes in her life after my last visit to her house. She also said that she had been applying that I had told her and that she believes I am God-sent. After that, we went off the call.

I still couldn’t remember all what I had told her. But, I already understood that I was been made to walk through and watch her life for a reason, most especially at this time. With this understanding, I became more patient to know the outcome. So, I allowed things flow.

About a month later, I saw her again approaching the aisle to pray. This time, she looked very peaceful, joyful, radiant and beautiful. I knew what next would follow, so i kept calm.

Not long after, I was shown her in her bedroom on earth. This time she had become a flame of fire inside the bubble. Even though she was burning in flames, she didn’t seem hurt or burnt. When I looked closely, I observed that she was praying in tongues. I also observed that the more she prayed, the more the fire blazed. This made me unable to see her form inside the bubble. All i could see was a blazing fire pacing the room. suddenly, I heard a voice say, “WATCH!!!!”. So i fixed my eyes on her. Shortly after, I began to see star-like creatures moving very fast inside the bubble. They moved faster than the speed of light. But somehow, I was made to see them very clearly. It seemed as if they were slowed down for my sake. I saw them going out of the bubble like flames of fire and returning with gems. They were moving in different ways and directions.

Then the same voice said to me: “not only is she generating power as she prays in the Holyspirit, she’s also engaging her angels to carry out their assignments with great speed and power”. Then the voice said to me again, “LOOK CLOSELY!”.

immediately, I saw tunnels or channels appearing inside the bubble.These channels were so large that I wondered how they were able to fit in inside the bubble and yet retain their original sizes. Just then, something shocking and amazing happened. She began to enter into this tunnels, one after the other. She’d go into one and then after a while enter into another one. I also observed that every new tunnel she enters has a better look than the previous one. It was such an amazing sight.

Suddenly, everything disappeared in a twinkle of an eye. All of a sudden, all I could see was a simple lady that was wearing a normal earth dress, praying in her bedroom.

Then the voice said to me, “That’s how ordinary, ones spiritual activities can look in the physical. But in the spiritual, a whole lot is actually going on. The tunnels you saw represents new levels of victory, anointing, revelations, insights, prophecies, etc. Every level has different dimensions and experiences. The more she prays, the faster she’d move from one level (tunnel or dimension) to another”.

Then, I asked, “what about those treasures she has and you have made for her? How is she going to get them all?”

Then the voice replied, “ They are all with her. They are all in the word of God. As she enforces them by doing what she’s currently, she’d begin to see them manifest”

On hearing that, it dawned on me that the treasures, blessings and great expressions of God’s love that I had seen earlier, were not actually peculiar to this lady. It is for EVERYONE! It was so exciting to know that all that made me admire this lady and had made me think that she must be so special, is also for ME. I was greatly overwhelmed with great joy. I kept saying out loud, “ Wow… So I am just as loved as she is and I have just as much as she has..!!!!”

Then my eyes fell on her again, but this time, notin the earth realm. I saw her dancing, rejoicing and worshipping gracefully on that same aisle.

Then the voice said to me, “ every time she’s about to move from one tunnel to another, great joy fills her up. The more she expresses this joy by rejoicing and giving thanks, the faster she leaves that tunnel to the new one and it makes it easier for her to enter the new one.

In other words, as you attain a new level of victory, joy overwhelms you. Giving thanks and worshipping, catalyses your speed to another level.

Then I asked:

“is there any end to the levels (tunnels)? Can they ever be exhausted? would there always be more?

Then the voice replied me,

“The tunnels are inexhaustible. You could also skip tunnels too just the way you get a double promotion.

Me: How?

The Voice: By giving (sowing your seeds) and praying in the Holyspirit. Your gifts/seeds makes way for you.

The next day, I decided to pay her a visit. I was so eager to see if there were any changes in her life. On getting there, I met an empty house. I enquired from her neighbors and I was told that she had moved out with her family. I was also told that she had gotten a political appointment in one of the biggest and richest states in the country. I tried her phone number but it didn’t go through. So I sent her a text.

Later that evening, I got a very long text from her. it went thus…

“Thank you so much for all you said to me. It’s been only two months since I met you and my life has completely changed. I have moved my parents to a better house and I now live on my own in a self bought house. I miraculously got a political appointment with a fat salary. I only sent a proposal for a contract. Not only was it approved in billions, I was also given a political appointment.

I was told that the felt I had the capacity to handle that area of the state. I would also be getting married next year. There is so much more happening around me. It just feels like I have begun to live a new life. People often tell me that I am glowing. I experience high favor everywhere. Doors are opening everywhere for me. In short, nothing opposes. The dead feeling I used to have, has totally disappeared. I currently feel as though I have been raised to life. But, I still get this strange feeling that there’s more in store for me.”

Suddenly, I finally had a flash back to what I had told her. All these while, I found it very hard to remember but at that moment, it all came to me very clearly. This was exactly what I had told her that day that sparked up the great change in her life:

“Madam, all you are looking for is already with you and they are all in God’s Word. God has blessed you beyond your imagination but the problem is that, the environment is just too cold. You are indeed a child of God but you have only been living a religious life (going to church, working in church etc… which is very very good). You are not turning up the temperature, God’s Word, God’s Will and God’s promises to manifest. Please turn up the temperature by pulling out what you want from God’s Word, giving thanks and praying in the Holy Spirit”. READ THE NEXT STORY: Half Way Up

I am a Christian who knows her rights and privileges as a Child of God. Yet, I didn’t understand why I was going through this particular life threatening challenge.
I was really enjoying God’s love. And I had seen His mighty hands at work in my life on several occasions. In fact, there was nothing that was impossible for me. I was living in the supernatural realm already. I lived my life totally by Faith.

Read previous story: MELTED CURSE

After giving birth to my first child, I made up my mind not to have another baby until my child turns five years old. Going by this decision, the natural thing for me to do was to go for family planning. But, I didn’t. I depended so much on living supernaturally by faith. So, I decided to go about it the supernatural way.

I wasn’t trying to see if it would work for me. I knew that it would. In fact the Supernatural always worked for me. It had become my life because, I had an understanding that Faith (been the
frequency of the kingdom), was the most perfect means of getting things done. However, I also saw Orthodox medicine as a gift from God t the world. But aside that, I had come to know and understand
that Supernatural healing and health was the original plan of God. And that it is available to every child of God to take advantage of. As long as there is a supernatural way to achieving a thing,
I considered that, my default and permanent option.

It wasn’t as if I completely disregarded physical remedies. The supernatural way is just a sure way to get things. Sometimes, the solutions it provides are, divinely led and backed up physical actions
( supernatural directions on what to do to bring about ones desires. While other times it gets things done totally spiritual with perfect miraculous manifestations.

In the case of my family planning, I began to pray towards it. I desired a divine leading on what to do. I just didn’t want to randomly choose any method.

So, one day as I was praying in the bathroom, it struck my
spirit that I could actually have a miraculous birth control without any physical method. Instantly, I was led to speak to and command my womb to comply with my desire.

As I meditated further on it, I heard the Lord say to me:
“YOU HAD A PAINLESS DELIVERY BY SPEAKING MY WORDS AND PROPHESYING TO YOUR WOMB. YOU CAN ALSO ACHIEVE THIS BY DOING SAME.” And that was it. That day, I was so joyful. It felt always felt good to know the way out.

I prayed, spoke God’s word and prophesied to my womb constantly. The first month it worked. I ha d my monthly flow. Same went for both the second and third month. Then in the fourth month, I noticed that my flow got
late by a week. During the first few days, I didn’t take it seriously. But after about a week, I began to get really bothered. After I had prayed about it, I felt led to hit my tummy and to command my menstrual flow to begin.
I did just that and it came out immediately. Hence forth, I began to command it to come whenever it felt convenient for me to have it. It was such a wonderful privilege to have my period whenever I wanted it.

A year later, something unusual happened. Three days after I had my menstrual flow, I bumped into a lady who told me that I was looking pregnant. I only laughed and informed her that I wasn’t pregnant. After which, we rounded off our business and parted ways.
After that day, I noticed that I began to have flash backs to what the lady had said to me. But I didn’t do anything about it. The flashbacks continued for about 2 months. Then the following month, my flow didn’t come when I commanded it to come.
I waited for about a month, still nothing happened. I had several body signs and changes on different occasions, that proved that it was about to come. But it never did. A month later, I took pregnancy test and discovered that I had gotten pregnant.

I felt so surprised. For a good number of days, I kept wondering where I had gone wrong. After a while, I decided to move on by accepting the fact that was pregnant though it didn’t cause my faith in the supernatural to waver one bit.
By the time I was 6 months gone, I had a dream. In that dream, I saw a late friend who had passed away through a brief illness while pregnant. I didn’t actually take the dream seriously because I wasn’t supposed to. Rather, I felt I was only missing her until the bomb struck.

I suddenly began to experience something I’d describe as a strange illness. It wasn’t a very serious illness as such. But occasionally, I’d just get very weak and almost breathless.
At first, I went to the hospital to find out what exactly the problem was, but all the tests ran showed that I was healthy and fit So, I began to handle it the supernatural way as usual. I gave myself to praying about it but there was no improvement. One day, it got so intense that I felt I was going to die. On seeing this, my husband who had taken this strange illness casually, suddenly sprung to action. He didn’t eat, neither did he bathe. He prayed for hours until he finally got to lay hold on my healing (establish and enforce my healing in the Spirit by the power of the Holy spirit).
When he was done praying, he shared an experience with me. He said that while he was praying, it was revealed to him that the devil had sought to take my life along side my pregnancy, through this illness. And that, upon praying, IT HAD NOW BECOME IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DIE standing on my victory in Christ over death.
He then instructed me to focus my mind on scriptures pertaining to LIFE.. He told me to keep confessing that: “the Life Giving Spirit (Holy spirit) is in me and it quickens and gives life and strength to my body”.

Immediately after he said this, it struck me hard that MY THOUGHTS had been responsible for the unusual occurrences I had been experiencing. I began to recall different instances:
Like the day, I had a thought that I my toddler was going to fall sick, and 3 hours later he did.
Like when I had a thought that I was going to be stranded financially in a particular month, and then it turned out so.
Like when I had a thought that I was going to have a serious argument with my husband, and it certainly occurred.
There was even a time , back in school, when I had a thought that I was going to carry over a number of courses, and it definitely happened. After, I had successfully carried it over and retaken the exams the department discovered that I didn’t even fail those course and that it was a mix up. But by then, it was no longer of use to me because I had already gone through the stress of taking the courses over again.

After telling my husband about these occurrences, he said to me:

“The first step the devil takes is to harmlessly mess with your mind. And if you allow him, he’d mess with your reality. But do not give him any room to. Do not give him any space in your mind. Learn to kick him out!!!”

Henceforth, I never left carelessly, negative thoughts that do not align with God’sword for me. Immediately, they come to my mind or imagination, I rebuke them. And then, I replace them with a scripture that is directly opposite to that thought. If its the stubborn type that keeps coming, I often apply more efforts by confessing the scripture and setting my mind on it constantly.
Again, after realising the power of my thoughts and imaginations, most especially the fact that they can influence my reality, I began to form the habit of having a scripture to constantly think on everyday. Well, I practised it. And the more I did it the better I got.

As for my child delivery, I placed before my mind Isaiah 66:7 which says: “Before the Labor comes she shall give birth and before the pain comes upon her, she has delivered her son.” I believed, accepted and focused on this scripture. And whenever the thought of my late friend came to my mind, I always rejected it and confessed that, “I am alive with the life of God. I think life… I see life. “
Few weeks later, I had my child. I didn’t die and my delivery went exactly the way Isaiah 66:7 said.

The pictures you have within, allow within and carelessly ignore within matters a lot and they can influence the happenings in your life. You need to start cutting them down and replacing them with God’s will (God’s Word).
Just as your words are seeds that germinates and bears fruits in your life, so your thoughts are pictures that reproduces itself in your life. Re-align your life today. See yourself as one who has to live only what the Word of God says. If only you’d begin to see God’s Word, imagine God’s Word, Confess/recite God’s Word and think only God’s Word, Oh what a perfect life you would have.

MELTED CURSE

| Drop Comments |

During my university days, I noticed that I began to develop an unusual passion and interest for cooking. This propelled me to take cooking lessons during weekends. In less than a year, I was done and had totally mastered the art of cooking.
People knew me as a great cook. My food was greatly loved by all and very much desired. During that time, I only cooked for fun and not for money. I had no intention to commercialize my skill. I was only driven by passion and an unusual sudden love for cooking.

Three years after I graduated from the university, I met my fiance. He also got very thrilled with my cooking. Sometimes, He would make cook a special meal for him and in such occasions he was fond of inviting some of his friends over, so he could brag about me.

Surprisingly, everything changed immediately we got married. The great chef and professional cook turned into a very terrible cook. In fact, I was like a wife who couldn’t cook. It was so terrible that, I couldn’t even eat a food that had been cooked by me. And this affected my marriage greatly.

Initially, my husband kept very quiet about it. He didn’t hurt me, neither did he scold me. Rather, he would most times quietly patronize a nearby restaurant.
But this did not last for long. After a year, he finally spoke out. He said to me:
“Baby, my major intention for making you my wife wasn’t because you were a good cook then. It was because I loved you and I still do. I am not bothered about
any of your inadequacies but I have come to realise that good food is very essential in a home. I do o know what the issue is as to why your cooking as changed
but I would appreciate it if you could find a solution to this “Cooking Mess”.”

My heart shattered in two, on hearing this. I knew exactly what he meant. And even though he sounded calm and polite, it was very obvious that he was very unhappy
and dissatisfied with me.
Before then, I had tried all I could to fix my cooking. I even began to began to follow the recipes on the notes from the cooking classes I had taken years ago, yet there
was no single improvement. This made me realize that something wasn’t just right. So, I began to pray about it.
Six weeks later, I finally got to know what the problem really was.

As I was silently praying in the Holy Spirit while doing the laundry that Saturday morning, I had vision. It appeared like a flash. In that vision, I saw my mother speaking with anger. She was saying: “YOU MUST REAP IT, AS LONG AS I AM YOUR MOTHER”. I saw like three different occasions where she made this declaration. I paused my Laundry and began to meditate on what I had seen.I was surprised at what I had seen.

Then suddenly, began to remember that while growing up, I was the very lazy type. I never liked doing house chores neither did I really enjoy helping out at the kitchen.
I usually preferred reading my books and watching TV (rarely). I was a brainy teenager. I loved to study my books always and this made me excel greatly at school.

Even though my parents were very proud of me because of my commitment to my studies, my mother was very upset at me and was constantly complaining about my lazy attitude towards
house keeping and cooking. From an harmless concern about my lack of interest in cooking, it graduate into a toxic anger and expression of frustration because of my refusal to adjust.
My academic success was no longer valued as every member of the family became more concerned about the kind of woman I’d become. I was often told that “Book isn’t everything in life”.
Little did they know that things were going to fall into place later on. My mother would always yell at me and when ever she felt frustrated by it she began to say things like:
“One day you will definitely marry. As you have never liked to render help to me in the kitchen so your children would never render help to you” “As long as I am your mother, in your
marriage you must have a reason to look back at this time in regretfully.” “When your husband chases you from the house, the shame would be all yours.” etc…

None of us really took her statements seriously because we felt that there were only uttered out of anger. We knew her to be fond of saying negative things and making negative decrees
whenever she was angry with either me or any of my siblings. She was a very nice and caring mother but whenever she was upset with us, she always made statements like:
“You must reap it!”, “You must regret it!”, “It must be done back to you”, “Your children must do same to you.”

As the last child of the family, I have observed strange occurrences and happenings in the marriages and homes of my elder sisters. These occurrences have been a great concern to our mother.
All these years, she has been fasting and praying seriously for God’s intervention. Little did she know that she had caused it all through her constant negative proclamations over us.

The next day been Sunday, I went to church. That Sunday God spoke to me through the message. The message was on THE BLESSING. It was explained that everyone in Christ Jesus has been translated from the realm of THE CURSE (darkness) to the realm of THE BLESSING (light). It was further explained that some Christians still experience curses operate in their lives as a result of ignorance.
The Pastor went on to say that:
“The Blessing of God maketh rich and adds no sorrow. The blessing is so powerful that every curse melts away once it comes upon and is activated on someone. Be it curses
from, oneself, parents, elders, spiritual leaders etc even though you were at fault at the time the curse was made. The Blessing of God overrides the words of men.The Blessing
is upon every Child of God. But, it begins to bear fruits in ones life when he comes to realize that it is on him, when he begins to confess that it is on him and begins
to rejoice and give thanks to God that it is on him, despite the current uncomfortable situation or state that he is in.”

“Another thing that hinders THE BLESSING is Condemnation. When a child of God refuses to believe and walk in the Light that his sins have been forgiven…. When he refuses to receive
the forgiveness of Jesus… When he always sees himself as a sinner and not as a Son of God. The Blessing operates with righteousness & heritage consciousness, while the curse operates with condemnation.”

He said conclusively that:
“when we constantly believe our sins are forgiven, the feeling of condemnation and unworthiness breaks off and We’d begin to rest on our Son-ship with the Father.
In a nut shell, every curse melts at the consciousness of who we are.
Say Out Loud: My sins are Forgiven in the Name of Jesus!!! (but before you do that, I want you to know that by saying that, you are also speaking to every curse at work in your life illegally, and
as a result of ignorance. You are also saying that you accept the forgiveness of Jesus made available to you through His sacrifice and that yo are now conscious of the fact that you are Free. On this ground, the right that any curse has to operate in your life collapses and every curse automatically melts away.”

When I returned home, I meditated on this and kept confessing and rejoicing: “MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE TO SIN. I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE TO CURSES. NO CHILD OF GOD CAN
BE CURSED SO I DECLARE THAT I AM IN CHRIST AND NO CURSE IS PERMITTED TO OPERATE IN MY LIFE.”

That marked the end of the embarrassing cooking experiences instantly.

The following weekend, I decided to pay my mother a visit. After I was done explaining things to her, she broke down in tears. She told me that it was never her intention to curse her children and that her actions were influenced by the way she was brought up. She said that in the environment where she was brought up, parents were fond of using such words on their children when ever they are provoked by their kids.
She also said siblings also used such confessions on each other whenever they got into a fight. As a result of this, using such confessions had become part of her.

She was quiet for a while after which she exclaimed: “So this is the reason for the unusual difficulties and struggles I have experienced in life. So CARELESS TALKS could be this dangerous? But I have been praying for my children. Why didn’t the curses, as a result of my careless talks, go away?”

MY REPLY:
When you pray, you generate power to cause your seeds to germinate and grow. Your seeds are your words, your jokes, your careless talks, the words from the songs you sing, your idle words etc… In fact, seeds are every word spoken from your mouth. One cannot be praying for a thing and afterwards say negative words concerning that thing and then expect to receive it. This is because your words are as powerful and as important as your prayers. They work hand in hand.

My mother changed her confessions afterwards. She continue praying as usual but in addition to it she consciously began to make positive confessions concerning us. In less than a year, every negative occurrences that my elder sisters had been experiencing suddenly stopped. One of then gave birth after 10 years of barrenness, the marriage of the other one got restored etc.

Well, you might ask “what if the person who placed the curse is already dead. What do I do? “. All you need do is to constantly do what I did until you begin to see changes. I got MY FREEDOM from every curse even before I spoke to my mother about it. YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
