*DISCLAIMER FOR MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL*

*DISCLAIMER FOR MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL*
Anchor scripture: MATTHEW 4:1-11

Jesus was led by the spirit (of God) to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
In this context, Jesus may not have known that the reason why he was being led to the wilderness was for the devil to tempt him.
*As a minister*, no matter where God is leading you or where he has led you to, be patient enough and endure enough to trust the process.
The purpose why you're where God has led you today may not be for rosy or suitable condition so, let's be patient enough to trust him without complain even if he tarries.
Jesus fasted 40 days and nights expecting what or the reason why he was led there yet, the reason (temptation) didn't come because he was still strong enough to hold himself *but as soon as he was hungry, the temptation came in*. Do you ever thought why????

*As a minister*, you need not to be ignorant of the devices and wiles of the devil. The devil is cunny and smart in his ways and crafty with his tactics, devices and strategies. He doesn't play tactics/pranks when you're still strong, he comes at a time when you're weak. So, whenever you are expecting something from God and you don't see your expectations forthcoming, beware of the devices of the devil. Those things may be delayed for this purpose to see how disciplined and patient you are. Don't fall a victim. Let the weak say I am strong!!!
*...TURN THESE STONE TO BREAD 🍞...*
Have you been given power, authority and grace in the ministry or in one office or the other???
Be very careful when and how you'll use it.
Don't turn your SOUL-WINNING MISSION or ministry to a money making ministry. It may be very easy for you to convert it and earn sharply from the ministry after all, God has given you the authority and power but beware! So that the auction won't bring destruction and the call won't be a curse. Beware of the wiles of the devil so that your anointing won't become annoying thing.

*...HE TOOK HIM TO THE HOLY CITY AND SET HIM ON THE PINNACLE OF THE TEMPLE and ask him to cast himself down...*

N:B - It wasn't God that took Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple in the holy city ooo, it was the devil.
*As ministers*, many a times you discover you suddenly become popular in your various denomination/church or even in the body of Christ (Christendom) and the character of others or attitude of your pastor will make you feel like leaving the church or neglecting your duty and responsibility in the vineyard. Beware!!! The devil is after you.

Don't fall a victim of casting yourself down or out of your duty or position in the holy place, church or temple with the believe that the angels will bear you up and you won't dash your foot against a stone i.e to think no one will take the position and minister like you there, no one can replace you and it cannot affect you at all if you forsake your duty.
This is a temptation, don't fall for it because if you do, you won't only dash your foot against a stone but you will also hit your head on the rock
*...HE TAKETH HIM TO AN EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN where HE SHOWED HIM THE KINGDOM AND RICHES OF THE WORLD and TOLD HIM TO WORSHIP HIM THAT THOSE RICHES WILL BE HIS...*

Have you gotten to a position in the ministry *As a minister*,  where you have and can maneuver riches for yourself???
You have gotten to a position where you can easily lie to people that God said and they'll submit and hand over their money, riches, wealth, properties and other things in the world without contemplating or having a second thought about it???
Beware! Devil is playing pranks on you and those pranks are tricky, don't fall a victim.

Don't betray God!
Don't deny God!
Don't Despise God!
Don't renounce God!

He is aware of what's going on in your ministry, family, business etc. Even though he is silent and not interfering in the process, believe him, trust him and hold unto him; he's the great rabbi!! He didn't interfere just as a good teacher won't talk in the exam hall when a student is writing his/her paper.

He will definitely come through for you after the examination process just as he allowed the angels to minister to Jesus after the devil left him

IJEWO IGBAGBO IN C & S CHURCH

IJEWO IGBAGBO IN C & S CHURCH One of our doctrine in C & S church is  THE CREED ( IJEWO IGBAGBO) . This is Confession of faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour.  This simply explain details about our doctrine that we worship God and we declare Jesus as our saviour and NOT angels. Some other denomination look down on white garment church as if they don't know Jesus or born again, but the truth is that we are the first Church from Africa preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Confession is a vital part in our spiritual growth as a believer. Words exist both in natural and supernatural forms that change circumstances and shape destinies. In C & S Church , we don’t only recite The Creed as a laid Church Doctrine passed from generations to generations but also acknowledge its uniqueness.  In it we confess, The Divine power and unison in the Trinity. Jesus Christ mysterious birth. Impossible mission accomplished. Undeserved crucification. Death and foretold resurrectio

WHY YOU WILL NEVER SEE APORI ERI IN SERAPHIM LAND  Someone messaged me yesterday to ask my view on those C & S carrying Apoti Eri and I said she should scroll down that I have written over 3 articles on Apoti Eri and how those who carry it are all idol worshippers. No difference between them and harbalist or osun worshippers and sango worshippers. One of their member who carry it chat me up yesterday on whatspp . He said he really appreciate all I write but he heared I am against APOTI ERI? He said he defended me that never . That I can never talk against APOTI ERI. That maybe the person is lieying against me . I laugh. I ask him if he had read all my posts? He said most of them. I told him to go back and read well. I told him that all who carry Apoti Eri claiming to be C & S are simply spiritual babies that need spiritual feeding bottle and when they grow up spiritually, they will stop carrying box around the street with ritual cloths . He was somehow angry. He said , why did

MY MOTHER IS A MUDERER Not until now do I know who gave birth to me, I lived years under her roof, yet what will be won't cease to be. Nothing in the world can hinder me from confessing your acts, You know yourself that I hate evil tacts. And that won't stop being my attribute; its a fact. How dare you! How dare you commit murder? I looked up to you as a role model and this is what I learnt. You made me realize everything you as a mother meant. I cease to believe it was all because you love me Because, you've been committing murder before I was born I want to be convinced that this murder case you commit is pain to you. Dad told me, He told me how it all started, How he lost his job and had nothing prepared For you, unborn kids and he himself. He told me, How his family and friends stood up against you, How your own friends forsook you because you refused to change. At least, you should have tried enduring instead of killing. Dad told me, I n
