FOUR (4) PRINCIPLES OF POSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS: God has given us all we need to enjoy life here on earth and the opportunity to have everlasting life thereafter. Every good thing of life is by nature our possessions. When God created the world, he looked at all he created and found out that they are good he gave man charge over it to maintain and enjoy the fruits and goodness of the earth. The Book of 2nd Peter chapter 1: 3 says “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue”. Many today believe in men and not God for their daily bread. No man has the power to help you if God has not put it in his mind to do so. No wonder the bible also said in the book of 1st Corinthians chapter 3:21 “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours”. Yes all things are yours as divinely ordained by God. All things in this scriptu

THE KEYS OF OPEN HEAVEN. Every Christian prays and wishes for open heaven. Just being a Christian or a church goer does not qualify one to have open heaven. You heaven as a Christian can only open when you have the right key/s. It is wonderful and fun filled when one operates in the realm of open heaven. Why one Christian will be prospering more than another is traceable to the degree of open heaven the one has more than the other. What is open heaven?   Open heaven can be seen clearly from the following; ·          Enjoying the presence of God at all times and in all things in your life is a pure description of open heaven. ·          You enjoy open heaven when all good steps you take in life receive approval from God. ·          Open heaven is a state where by God turns around every hopeless situation in your life. ·          You have open heaven when you can obtain divine mercy from God even when naturally, you don’t deserve it. ·          Open

THE FORCE OF THANKSGIVING: The force of Thanksgiving is the greatest force on earth that is capable of changing every unfriendly situation in one’s life. It is needful for us t be thankful to God for his mercies, kindness, goodness, provision, protection, sustenance etc. Until you are thankful, your tank of blessing will never be full. If we thank God over just a little thing he has done for us, it will open doors for greater testimonies for us. Every one that is alive owes God thanks. That one is alive is the greatest testimony any one can have. Anytime you sleep and wake up, it is because God sustained you. No wonder the psalmist says in the book of Psalms chapter 3: 5,   “I laid down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me”. As human beings, we can sleep at will, even if sleep does not come, we can take sleeping pills and force ourselves to sleep. But waking up is not by our power. Any one that sleeps and wakes up is by the grace of God.

THE BONDAGE OF MASTURBATION Masturbation is the stimulation of one’s sex organ either manually or by other means to obtain sexual satisfaction. When we say bondage, it is a state of being enslaved or a prisoner to something. Biblically we can say it is being tied down with a physical or invisible rope or chain. Any one that is in bondage cannot willingly or freely exercise his authority. Masturbation is one evil that has enslaved a lot of men in the world today. The bible in the book of John chapter 8 verse 34 says “Jesus answered them, verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin”. Masturbation is one sin that has become so common today that men now take it as a normal way of life. The book of 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 verse 1 says “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” This clearly shows that most of us believers are

CONSEQUENCES OF UNFORGIVENESS: Read Text: Mathew 18: 21-35 This portion of the bible has the totality of Christ’s explanation to forgiveness and unforgiveness. In verse 21 of our text above, Peter asked our lord Jesus Christ the question, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him. He went ahead to provide the answer, Seven times? In verse 22, our Lord Jesus Christ answered him, until seventy times seven. Some Christians will go ahead to do the mathematics and say until 490 times. This is not what our lord Jesus means here. He means to tell us that we should keep on forgiving without limit. The word is indefinitely. In the last verse, which is verse 35, the bible clearly stated, “So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your heart do not forgive your brothers their trespasses”. Most believers today do not see unforgiveness as something that should be taking seriously. In fact many do not see it as a sin. I
