SIDE CHICK B£ATS WIFE FOR COMING TO HER HOUSE TO LOOK FOR HER HUSBAND

Image
A woman (anonymous) has been attacked by her husband's girlfriend when she tracked the man to the lady's house. According to a relative of the victim, the woman suspecting her husband was with another lady when he told her he was not coming home that evening, trailed him to the house of a particular lady she believed he was having an affair with. The relative said the victim met the suspected lady, who told her that her husband was asleep when she asked about him. Explaining further, the relative indicated that the victim said she saw the lady opening the door all of a sudden, striking her with a stick on her face and subsequently beating her till she went into comma. The victim's in-laws are said to have visited her and pleaded that the matter be settled at home, explaining that she was at fault for going to the culprit's house without her permission. Are the in-laws right?

THEY THAT DO KNOW THEIR GOD!

The first thing Elisha did after the mantle of Elijah came upon him was to part the river Jordan by striking it with the mantle of Elijah. And at that point, he said "Where is the God of Elijah?"(2 Kings 2:14). For then, he knew God as "Elijah's God". He had not known God for himself. 

The same Elisha, after he had known God for himself said "send Namaan to me and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel" (2 Kings 5:8). He was no longer shouting "Where is the God of Elijah?" Namaan's case was such that doctors could not handle it. They had done everything medical, and yet his leprosy persisted. It was a severe case of leprosy. It demanded the ministry of a man that had known God for himself and not the man that hides under a "borrowed anointing".

Look through the scripture and you discover that it was only once that Elisha said "Where is the God of Elijah?" As he matured in God and got to know God the more, he no longer operated a "borrowed anointing". This days, every little challenge, you hear people screaming "O God of bishop David Oyedepo! ", "O God of pastor Paul Enenche! ", "O God of pastor David Ogbueli! ". If the Spirit of God leads you to do that on a particular occasion, then it's a different ball game all together. But to make it a formula means that you are not growing in faith! It means you are not knowing God for yourself. And it is because people would not know God for themselves that they "idolize" men of God. You are not helping any man of God by idolizing him, you are rather indirectly asking God to take him before his time! For the Lord our God is a jealous God(Exodus 34:14). 

I was in Dunamis Church headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria. And a young was sharing the testimony of how he was taking his pregnant wife to the hospital. They actually got stuck in the traffic and it was in the night time. While they were stuck in that heavy traffic, his pregnant wife started bleeding. And instead of the man to call on the name of Jesus, he started saying "Paul Enenche...., Paul Enenche". When the man got to that part of the story, papa Paul Enenche got up from his seat and did what a wise servant of God would do by rebuking the man. And letting him know that it was the Name of Jesus that he should have called. In conclusion, papa Enenche sounded it so clearly to the congregation that no one should idolize him, so he could live long to fulfill his ministry on earth.

A family in the church I pastor, had their aged father undergo surgery in the hospital. At the end of the surgery, it appeared he was having some complications. Before I could get to the hospital to see things for myself, they had stood in the gap for their aged father, blasting in tongues, in intercession. When I eventually arrived they had already done most of the job in the spirit realm. All that was left for me do was lay hands on the man and speak one or two words of faith. To the glory of God, he fully recovered and is still alive till date. I looked at those my members in the church that did that intercession and said to them; "Thank God you are knowing God for yourselves". 

The seven sons of Sceva never said, "In the Name of Jesus that we know". They rather said, "In the Name of Jesus that apostle Paul preached...." (Acts 19:23). And they (the seven sons of Sceva) were subdued, beaten up and stripped naked by the demon they went to cast out. The seven sons Sceva never knew God for themselves. All they knew was that apostle Paul preached Him.

It is your knowledge of God that makes the Name of Jesus weighty and powerful in your mouth. Apostle Paul knew God, and so, the Name of Jesus in his mouth casted out devils. The seven sons of Sceva didn't know God for themselves and so the Name of Jesus in their mouth could not carry any divine backing. 

Samson knew God enough to tear a lion with bare hands. He didn't need physical weapons, for God Himself is the weapon of the man that knows Him. 

And so, God said in His Word that it is they that do know their God that shall strong and do great exploits(Daniel 11:32). 

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
