  I see the word of God to our heart like tyre pressure. You pump it in and the wheel gets turgid, larger and balanced. So are we when we feed on the word. Our faith enlarges. The wheel can cover great distance and move past mountains and valleys, absorbing shocks from potholes and the undulating terrain. Endurance of the wheel, I mean heart! Against  potholes like anger, envy, bitterness, malice, jealous and cruelty.  The rim of a tyre is fastened by bolt and nuts (bonu). It keeps the wheel in good shape and harmony with all the components surrounding it. The rim is circular. Children sing ' God's love is like a circle, a circle big and round' The rim is like Love, big and round. Bonu fasten our Christian life to the things of spirit- love, the word, faith... Bonu represent hope, kindness, self-control, humility, tolerance and goodHabits that keep the rim in good shape.  Keep the tyre turgid you will soon arrive at your destination, Nevermind the potholes along the ...

  Poverty has untold effects on body, soul and mind. Satan knew, if man was separated from wealth there were great chances that he would not worship God. Thus, he asks God to remove the protection (wealth) around Job. With poverty you will often times go wrong in your career, business, family and spiritual life. Wallowing in poverty energises the enemy. Creates avenues for him to strike on our defences. Defences of good health, financial investments, hope, faith, love and sound relationships. Poverty can make you- appear dump yet you're intelligent, eat what you don't like, wear what you hate or lose your self esteem.  Poverty ravages the body, soul and mind. It is like a silent bomb that kills softly. Poverty in the hands of Satan is like a pinless grenade. A weapon that weakens our ties with Almighty God. I hate poverty! I therefore, use my hands to work on the land like Abel. Sowing hard-work to harvest success. Giving to the less fortunate, strangers, prisoners, the elderl...

 The wiles of the enemy are decorated by the spirit of poverty that torments believers. Resist them!. You are: a conqueror, an overcomer and victorious.  Don't wallow in poverty, fight the spirit of poverty with the word of God. Declare: I am blessed, I am Abraham's child. I am rich. I am not poor. I pay tithes and offerings in the house of God. I am a Kingdom of God financier. I partner with the good-news. Jesus, my friend became poor on my behalf so that I could be rich. Spirit of poverty, I rebuke you! I condemn you. I squeeze you out of my wallet, business and family. You unwelcome in my affairs. I don't negotiate with you. Out! Out! Out!

 I send you Holy Spirit and wedge you where my soul meets my flesh, my faculties meet my being and where my heart keeps your word. Reign Oh Holy Spirit and stay there permanently, oiling those places.

 I know the lethality of weapons from small arms, rifles, grenades, 40mm hand held RL, mounted MRL, mortars, artillery guns, tanks and missiles. These produce varying kinds of probing, harassing, neutralising, sweeping and pinning fire to the enemy.  However, prayer has the largest lethality rate and offensive effect to the devil's camp. One thing is very clear, 2 Cor 10 : 3-5 says:  For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (a postle AZ, 2020)

 Evangelism is like standing on the road's white-centre-line vending. There are hazards. Discouragement!.For example, many may pass you by as if they are not interested yet deep down their hearts, it's the message they are craving. Some may pass and fail to like this post yet they liked it in their hearts. Those are the challenges of evangelism

 Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Thank you father for loving us. In Hosea 14 v 8. You instruct us to stay away from idols. Pride is an idol. Selfishness is an idol. Anger is an idol. All our cares come from you Lord. May our fruits of righteousness, kindness, self-control and humility ripen now in Jesus'name. Amen

  The light in you is shining according to your capacity. Others have larger capacities than you and the reverse is true with those with dimmer lights. The word of God empowers our light-bulbs. The more we meditate upon it the brighter our lights become. In your prayers, invite the Holy Spirit to guide your spirit in the name of Jesus. Strive to enlarge your sphere of influence in the spirit by feeding on the word of God. Singing and listening to gospel music too can increase your light-bulb's capacity. Above all, fellowship with like minded folks. Find something to do within the house of the Lord. Join either, janitors, IT section, office-clerks, partners, church-workers, event-organisers or church choir. Let the light in you shine forever more. Shalom

Dear Son and Daughter, In your Christian walk, you will gather, knowingly or ignorantly, parasites like ticks and worms. These will drain you and frustrate your relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit. I urge you not to quit when this happens. Find a better way of dealing with insects and parasites. When you fumigate them, remember your position and the direction of the wind. I mean do not inhale the toxic fumigants. Lest you contaminate yourself. I mean deal with your opponents wisely. Ask for God's direction and act accordingly. Most importantly, kneel down and pray for them to change their ways. Prayer is the best insecticide and fumigant. Prayer! Loving father, apostle AZ

  Light-bulb 💡.Let the light in you shine(Mat 5 v15-16, Isa 60v1) You are the light-bulb on Earth. Light shines  because of choices of the light-bulb. Selection: to connect to the true source of light or not.This is the free will of man (Jos 24 v15, Deut 30 v 19-20, Rev 3 v 20) The true source of light is God the Father(Rev 21 v 23) Other sources are superficial, fake and corruptible. (Rev 12 v 9) Hold on to your faith into the everlasting light source(Heb 4 v14-16). Do not allow your self esteem to dry up because life of others seems better than yours. The environment sometimes gives the light's appearance. For example at noon it appears to shine lowest than any other time. But, does that mean the connection to the source is lost at this time of day? No it is only an illusion (doubt). That illusion when manipulated by agents of fake light, may affect the light- bulb (James 1v6-8). The word of God keeps the light in you shining despite the weather (John 9 v5, Psa 119 v105) It...
