THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 4, No. 16 – Monday, 29th April, 2019
(John 11:38-44, Hebrews 12:1-2)
TAKE AWAY THAT STUMBLING-BLOCK

It is a statement of sound spiritual fact that God will not do for man that which man can do for or by himself. Why? God has given to man a brain and with that brain, man can construe and construct common sense.
For instance, God is yet in the full business of supporting His children in finding His perfect will in Marriage. However, God, having got that lady for the man, will not be the one who will place that lady on the matrimonial bed on the wedding night. In the kind mercies of God, man gets salary-paying-job to support himself. Will God also be the one to take the salary earned by that man to the market in order to purchase needed food items.

The truth is this: in man’s relationship with God, especially from the moment of transition from ‘milk’ to ‘meat’ (that is maturity stage), there are three tests every man must pass if man will ever enjoy that relationship with His Maker. These are the three tests of competence, capacity and character. God for instance paves the path for character change through salvation. But it is for man to work out his salvation after it has been well paved out first. This exegesis is clearly elucidated in the first text of this edition. The question is how?

Christ Jesus is the ‘all in all’. Christ has the power to do all things. But why does He yet need man to take away the stone from Lazarus’ grave? Understand the following facts in this regard:
Before the birth of every new (expected and unexpected) testimonies, the stone of offence must first be taken out of the way. There is no greater enemy of man other than sin. Sin is a stone of offence accusing man before God.

The mystery of sin is this: that which man considers small sin has the same sting and negative effect as those sins considered as big and mighty. Indeed, more traumatically, all sins have equal proportion of hatred, disgust and dastard effect before God and in the life of the committer of the sin.
Sin in any life determines how far the effect of prayer will turn out. Understand further dearly beloved the sin of gossip and lying has the same dastard consequences as the sin of fornication and adultery.
Once a sin is committed every other sin is deemed to be committed (Jam.2:10). So, it means it is a chain of causation for there exists a spiritual causal link from one sin to another.

There is no greater blocker of blessings and breakthroughs than sin. If the stone was not taken away, Lazarus may have awaken from death but would remain in the grave. This means that Lazarus could not have enjoyed his victory over death.
The effect is that Lazarus would remain in the grave and die again with time because of the terrible heat inside the grave. Ask yourself how many blessings have been released by God to you but which was not delivered and are left hanging?

Do you know that sin determines the time of breakthroughs? By implication do you known that sin can postpone the time of breakthroughs? Sin is a spiritual fragrance.
Just as the smell of nice perfumes and the likes command attention and attract, so does sin. Sin draws its associates like delay, yokes, obstacles, irritation, not and never loved, etc to the committer of the sin.

Understand that this edition of The Message Now is meant for as many who have embraced the saving grace of the Lord and who desire to better their lives through Christ Jesus. It is not such edition meant for a witch or sinners who are unwilling to repent.
No, not for such persons who are interested in continuing to drink the cup of lust, immorality, lying, etc and not the cup of righteousness. Get this dearly beloved, except a seed enters into the soil, die first and then comes back to life through the aid of water, soil nutrient, sunlight, etc, such seed cannot germinate and subsequently grow.

The point is this: unless sin dies in us (that is the death of the works of the flesh) how can the Spirit of God in us ever revive to life? (Gal.5:16-22). And if the Spirit of God in us remains perpetually suppressed by the works of the flesh, how can the Spirit of God in us do those things we desire? (See 2 Cor.13:5).
There are little assignments God has given to man like evangelism. Fail to do it and fail to have your needs met. Does that sound hard a conclusion? Remember the last words of Matthew chapter 28 ‘…And lo, I am with you even to the end of the world’. Hmmm!

Let us ask ourselves the question, can the one who has the Lord in his company lack any good thing? What a verse of the Scripture with massive and endless blessings! But do you also remember that this verse of Scripture is preponderant on an instruction and by implication the verse is conditional in nature?
The equation is equally applicable to God Himself, He requires His creatures to do those things which He cannot do for Himself. Two things the Lord cannot do for Himself.

First, the Lord cannot worship Himself. Man has to do that. The failure of man to do that is sin(Compare Ps.92:1-2 with Jam.4:17). The failure to worship or praise God attracts curses and blockage to expected blessings (see Mal.2:2-3). The obedience to praise God causes the unusual blessings to manifest (see Ps.50:22-23).

The second thing the Lord cannot do for Himself is evangelizing Himself. This is why the Lord said, “go ye into all the earth and make disciples of all nations’…. And with evangelism comes the great power of God to do the incredible.
The truth is: evangelism makes God known; evangelism announces God to the People. Therefore, he who evangelizes will made know to men by God and God will also ensure that that Evangelist is not announced but celebrated also. Mr brother, Mrs sister, are you ready to take up the challenge of taking away the stone today?

Fact (3) is this: the stone being asked to be taken away by the Lord is the one thing- obstacle responsible for all obstructions to your rising. That thing requires prayer and fasting or special prayers, anointing of an anointed minister or the invoking of the power of the Spirit for yoke-breaking.
The task of removing the stone will require some sort of spiritual strength of one whose anointing and works command great weight before God. For stones placed over tombs of dead persons are very heavy in nature. Therefore, only heavy-weight individuals can take up such tasks.

My sister, my brother, have you purposed in your heart to fight your battle alone? Well, I pray that the Lord will help you. But have you checked up whether you have enough spiritual power to single-handedly confront that battle?
I hope your decision to do it all by yourself was not informed by pride, frustration or depression? Was your decision based on genuine faith? If not, take note of this, that battle is likely to develop into a storm and it will carry you away. This is perhaps because you are still a spiritual light weight.

Alternatively, the length of your delay might be unusually long and many other blessings may be lost in the process. Therefore, see Deuteronomy chapter 30:19.
Mary and Martha made sure that they got their Master to the place where their brother lay. To what extent do you engage that pastor or prophet you trust is a genuine child of God to battle on your case before God?
Are you of one mind and one faith with that pastor or prophet? Otherwise, if that pastor or prophet is praying so hard for you and your mind is not right with him, you will end up wasting your time and that pastor/prophet’s anointing.

IN THE END, FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. LIVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, DO GOD’S WORK AND HE WILL PERFORM HIS WILL IN YOUR LIFE.

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 4, No. 15 – Monday, 22nd April, 2019
(Matt.27:45-66, 28:1-10, Psalm 30:5)
THE SACRIFICE, SUFFERINGS AND THE SORROWS OF CRUCIFIXION ON GOOD FRIDAY, THE SIMMERING SILENCE AND SERENE QUIETNESS OF HOLY SATURDAY AND THE SIREN JOY AND ECSTASY OF GLORIOUS EASTER SUNDAY AND MONDAY

I strongly doubt whether there can be any greater sorrow and depression than that experienced by a young child who just lost his/her parents to the ‘icy still hands of death’. This was exactly the plight of Christ’s disciples following His death. Those disciples suddenly became orphans. Understand in full what their plight was especially on the first two days of their Master’s death. A simple crisscross through the Scriptures reveal to us that for the period of Christ’s sacrifice, suffering, sorrow and eventual crucifixion, heaven was in perfect silence.

No word came from heaven- from God to comfort those few disciples. Was it that God was unmindful of their plight? In comparison to the rest of the large population of Israel, these disciples were just too few. Didn’t God realize that these few disciples needed a word of reassurance for their protection, their future, and guidance on the next way forward? Unquestionably, from the moment of Christ’s trials before the High Priest- Caiaphas, before Herod and before Pontius Pilate and through the first two days of Christ’s death,it had become a period of the worst storm these disciples had ever experienced.
Why then did God choose to remain silent? Remember dear brother, dear sister, that God speaks in either of three instances: (1) before the storm to prepare you. (2) During that storm to encourage you (Job.38:1). And (3) God will only speak to you sometimes after the storm is over to give you reasons why you had to go through that storm, how He ransomed you, and also teach you a lesson.

But understand also that there are always moments of gaps in all of these three instances. These are the gaps of divine silence. An academic mind would question this no doubt. And really, does it appeal to reason that keeping silent is an attribute to be demonstrated by God in times of storm? There is a mystery here. God’s silence when a man is going through the valley of hardship and turmoil is not indolence.

The truth is this: God’s silence in times of storms of every kind means DIVINE WORK IN PROGRESS AT THE UNSEEN BACKSTAGE. The reason man gets so worried in times of storm is either because man has forgotten what God said before the storm or that even where God is yet to give a word about that stormy situation, He is ever in perfect acquaintance with that ongoing situation. For God is ever current with every current plight.
For Christ’s disciples, sorrow had so overwhelmed them that they could not remember that Christ had spoken to them that He would rise up on the third day. It means then that they forgot because fear had replaced faith and the lie of the enemy had taken over the truth. What a tragedy! They forgot vital information that was why on the third day, rather than that they all headed in the direction of Galilee which was the meeting place He had informed them to be immediately after His resurrection, some of them instead either remained in sorrow at home while others ran to the tomb where He was no longer lying.

See the mystery of verse 9 of Matthew chapter 28. They ran to the tomb searching for Christ. But it was the One whom they were seeking for who found them. Understand therefore dearly beloved that by the power of Christ’s resurrection, that thing or that one whom you are seeking for will find you.
For the Christian, the message of Easter is obvious; the message of Easter is: it is never over even when it is over so long as God is in the equation. The message of Easter is obvious: it is the message that no matter how tough and strong the cords of every sorrowful ‘good Friday’ and ‘holy (quiet) Saturday’ may turn out to be, such sorrowful ‘good Friday and tumultuous ‘holy Saturday’ will always break into a glorious and joyful Sunday morning in the end.

Understand, dearly beloved, that the stone rolled over your progress, business, marriage and the likes all have an appointed time, that stumbling stone of delay will in the end become a stepping-stone of greatness and unquenchable joy.
With the power of Easter and the finished work on the cross by Christ, the womb of sorrow will always birth the moments of celebration. But remember too that expectation beget manifestation. Therefore, at all times remain hopeful. Christ’s resurrection is the reason why there is hope to carry on. Most notably, remember that it is the attribute of man to dash other men’s hopes, but not God.

IN THE END, REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE NOT CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB IN ONE DAY AND BORN FROM THAT WOMB THAT SAME DAY OF CONCEPTION. WITH EASTER AND THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION, YOUR LIFE AND YOUR LIFE’S POSITIVE CHANGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. YOUR EASTER MORNING WILL SOON DAWN.

Question: Where was Christ crucified?
Answer: Golgotha (in Hebrew) also called Calvary (in Greek).

Vol. 4, No. 14 – Monday, 15th April, 2019
(Psalm 62:1-12)
THE PRICE AND THE PRIZE OF PATIENCE

Today’s Scripture has notes of fundamental messages of all time. All time because the messages touch down directly on human phenomenon; such phenomenon that that touch on human emotions.

Therefore, understand that when emotions override common intellect or divine instructions, the result is always tragic. However, when the duo of patience and divine instructions work hand-in-hand, a comic relief and blissfulness makes the final round.
Aptly put, the price of patience is pain. The prize of same is the pleasure of fulfillment at the end of the day. Richard Baxter could not have been wrong when he quipped that the reverse side of patience being ‘impatience is not only of the devil; it is the devil itself’.

Hmmm! so impatience is not just an attribute of the devil, it is actually the devil in action, WOW!!! Someone has argued that the best message anyone can preach is that message borne out of personal experience.
Quite often on Mondays back in year 2001, brother Lekan Williams and I embarked on prayer and fasting. On one of those moments, I raised a prayer point concerning our marriage.
As soon as I did, the Lord spoke to me very clearly. He said: ‘my problem is not getting you a wife, but your impatience’. What a staggering statement. The Lord knew the future far ahead.

Years rolled on and the Lord came back to me on Sunday September 25 2005, promising a wife with so and so number of children. That promise was not fulfilled until September 25 2012, which was seven years after.
Meanwhile, thinking that God was no longer coming to fulfill that which He promised, I went into a relationship that cost me all my costly and most fashionable property including the first car I ever bought, 1 Rav 4.
I had plans to become a Doctor of Science after my Ph.D in law, but that era of impatience dealt me perhaps an irrecoverable blow. Today, so far, I am yet to become a Doctor of Science because of sheer impatience of a silly stupidity.

Understand dearly beloved that all men go through hardship; sometimes because of divine purposes. Other times owing to satanic visitation. But from whatever spectrum the wind of adversity is coming, it is good to always remember verses 11 and 12 of today Scripture.
They read as follows: ’11 Once hath God spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongeth unto God. 12 Also to you O Lord belongeth mercy; for you render to everyone according to his work’

The verses under review are implicative in many senses. Among the lot, one sense means that while all power and mercy belongs to God, it is the duty of man to seek that power and then attentively listen out for His word of direction which flows from His mercy.
Further, the other sense means that man’s responses during the moments of waiting are ‘works’ in His own sight. These ‘works’ whether bad or good will determine divine response. Isn’t it? For it is written in verse 12: ‘for you render to everyone according to his work’.

Speaking personally again, I can tell you dearly beloved that the weight on me since July 2018 and much more since January 2019 till now, is such that is beyond explanation. But dearly beloved, we must always remember that in quietness is our strength, not in complaining.
We must remember also that human reaction only births further frictions. It is calm and Godly responses that produce divine actions. Remember also that problem time is praise time.

Remember dearly beloved that the period of painful waiting is the time to nurture one’s thoughts with best ingredients. Thoughts are the foundation of words. Thoughts carry enormous power; they are bedrock of imaginations, dreams, words which altogether produces eventual actions. Make therefore your thoughts splendidly rich in times of adversity and during the expiry era of waiting.

Naturally speaking, a man under pressure will act under pressure. But remember to keep your soul calm during the phase of waiting. Remember the Scriptures is replete with the expression ‘and it came to pass’. Every waiting period is a phase. They have come and will pass away.

Finally, be patient in persistent prayer with your husband. Be consistent in the loving correction and fervent prayer for your children. Pastor, be patient with the growing of your flock; all flock are not the same. Listen to your wife always and do not talk back when she is in the spree of anger. Hand over everything to God when you have done your best.
IN THE END, GOD SAYS TO ME TO TELL YOU THAT ‘YOU WILL LAUGH LAST AND LAUGH BEST’.

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 4, No. 13 – Monday, 8th April, 2019
(Heb.12:14 compare with Psalm 115:3, John 14:1-6)
HEAVEN!

The inscribed knowledge passed onto us spanning almost countless generations inform us that heaven is millions of miles far above our heads. That inscribed knowledge equally informs us that heaven is the throne-room of the Almighty.
These conclusions are no farce as the content of Ps.115:3 informs. The problem with this inscribed theology is that it is not so complete. More troubling is the fact that its incompleteness leaves out a major component about the nature of heaven including the truest residence of heaven and the actual dwelling habitation of the controller of heaven.
When the Scripture informs that ‘we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places’, certainly and unarguably, that Scripture isn’t referring to the fact that our physical body is right now in heaven whilst we are yet alive. Absolutely not.

Rather, it is a much deeper mystery being enviced by that Scripture. Every human being is a composition of three things: the soul, the spirit and the body. At salvation (the first work of grace), what becomes born-again is our soul, not our body otherwise referred to as flesh.
Through out the period of our physical existence, the flesh and our born-again soul remains in perfect contest (Gal.5:16-22). As we yield to the inner voice of grace, our born-again soul gains strength over the flesh.
This continues until the flesh is finally subdued. The subduing of the flesh is a process made much easier through the second work of grace known as sanctification. Put together, there is one conclusion to be drawn from this spiritual thesis so far. It is the fact that the human soul otherwise referred to as the human heart is the heart of the matter.

Did not the Scripture state that we are the temple of God? Did not the same Scripture inform us that the Holy Ghost dwells in us and cries ‘Abba Father’ from within us?
If heaven is the throne-room where the Almighty reigns and dwells, if that throne-room is a part of a major building called the temple of God, if the Holy Ghost cries ‘Abba Father’ from within that temple, then that temple is the human heart also known as the human soul.
See very importantly the content of Deuteronomy chapter 23 verse 14 in the light of your human heart. Is that human heart of yours clean? Does heaven sojourn in our hearts? If not, today is the day to visit again the first work of grace earlier wrought in our lives at salvation.
The truth of the matter is this: when two electric live wires contact each other, there must be a sign of their contact. Why? Because the two recognize their oneness.

In like manner, if heaven truly dwells in a man, when the elevator of rapture descends to pick heaven-bound citizens, the Holy Ghost’s electric live wire in that spiritual elevator will certainly and undoubtedly connect with heaven’s signal resident in the soul of that heaven-bound citizen whether he be dead in Christ or alive in God.
The question of absolute concern is what is the state of my heart this moment? Is it heaven-bound or earthly-turned? Remember this my brother, life will not continue forever. Even if life goes on forever, remember my brother, you cannot live forever.

Death is a natural phenomenon. It will surely come. The brother you saw at the fellowship last week is merely a blossoming flower, nothing more. He may have faded away before the next fellowship day.
Do I hear you say God forbid? Yes I say Amen to that. But remember this that there are many things which do not respect age. Death is one surest among them all. Be prepared therefore that you are not left behind at rapture’s appearing.
Dear deliverance minister, Mr prophet, elevated evangelist, bigman pastor, brother G.O., are you performing miracles by means of dark powers? Remember that you are being hailed by men today, men who consider you to be a great Man of God. Those men will cry for you when your sinful soul roasts in the fire of hell.
Choir master! Choir mistress! Church members! Ministers in the vineyard of the Lord! Workers and every player in God’s kingdom! Hmmm!!! can we afford to forgo our seat in the streets of gold for any thing? Hmmm! heaven! Heaven! Heaven! The heart of the matter is a matter of the rightness of the heart at all times.

IN THE END, HE WHO WILL MAKE HEAVEN AT LAST MUST FIRST HAVE HEAVEN IN HIS SOUL WHILE HE IS YET ALIVE. HE MUST BE ONE WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP FOR DOING THE RIGHT THINGS AT ALL TIMES. HEAVEN!
