ANOINTED TO MULTIPLY (4)

Also in Psalm 92: 12-14- God's word confirm His expectation for the  righteous. Be righteous and you will flourish like a palm tree. 

What do we mean by being righteous? It is not a state of being 100% pure and holy. If so the psalmist wouldn't have stated in Proverbs 24:16 'for a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity' When we say righteous it means being in line with God's word. So, even when you sin, you have a right to seek His forgiveness, and He will cleanse you of all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9.

The use of the word 'palm-tree' is a simile. A simile is a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared. A righteous shall be like a palm tree. We cannot understand how blessed we are to be compared to a palm tree until we find out how blessed and enriched the palm tree is.

'Riches in the Palm tree'
1. Oil products
2. Medicinal usages and ripe old age
3. Wood furnitures
4. Refreshing drinks
5. and many others, including religious ceremonies.

The palm tree has been said to have numerous benefits. Hence, when you are righteous, God is saying you will have multifaceted benefits and usages to Him and to the world.

And when you operate within God's spheres and purpose, your benefits will be beyond old age, it will include assurance of blissful earth and saintly heaven. This was the experience of Abraham. I desire a better destiny than that of Abraham for you. Amen.

To be continued.

YOUR TITHE, YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE: an open letter to the CHRISTIAN

Dear Christian, The issue of tithe and tithing came heavy as a burden on me two days ago. I had to wake up very early to check out some of the scriptures that were laid on my hearts. The scripture is Leviticus 27:30-32. I don’t know why, but since I heard that testimony of the man that asked God to take 90% of his earnings and give him only/retain only 10%, I have been wondering why some people have such benefits/measure of faith. Then as if that was not enough I was listening to and watching Dr Richard Roberts (Oral Roberts's son) on Television when he shared three things that his Dad taught him that changed his life. 1. God is our only source 2. Plant your seed with focus 3. Expect a miracle. It became clear that God was saying something. Considering the LAF meeting on Sunday and the nature of our contributions, it occurred to me more than ever that I have a responsibility of advising you of the nature and warn you of the dangers and consequences of unfa

KORAN: IS THE PASTOR, SILLY

I find the art of burning symbols or even in the most diabolical circumstances, political burning of human beings ranked as one of the basest evil that man can do to man. However, I found it strange for an evangelical Pastor to plan, arrange and canvass for the burning of the Koran as most strange and uncalled for...it shows nothing but abject stupidity and unchristian! Could this be the beginning of Islam-phobic that may set a tinder box of inflammable consequences all over the world or its going to be seen as one of those attention seeking gesture of ignominy. Thinking about it, it can achieve nothing but unnecessary boiling of the temperature of the religious tensions all over the world. If burning of symbols have made any difference, it is only that it has caused more terrorism and undue celebration of cultures that are not worthy of such importance.How many flags of the US, UK etc have been burnt in the middle-east has changed policy, I doubt any. This pastor want publicity for hi

WE ARE REALLY MORE THAN OVER COMERS...WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS! Romans 8:37; John 16:33; 1John 5;4 Dear Friend Muyiwa Olanrewaju was in the church last Sunday! The expectation about the praise and worship was expectantly high, but what we experienced was more than expected, well speaking for myself! Truly I was so touched with his testimonies that I became more conscious of the fact that I am more than a conqueror and an over-comer. First some photos!  With Pastor Bimbo  Peace....  Victory....  Signing....  More greetings  With PTA...  Ministering...  Worshiping... Praising.... and more... and finally, the last dance  Let me give you some life changing reassurances and eye openers for me: 1.
