How To Carry The True Power Of Manifestation ~ Apostle Johnsons Suleman

How To Carry The True Power Of Manifestation ~ Apostle Johnsons Suleman You want to seethe power of God ?, spend time in fasting, spend time in prayer, spend time in the word. I remember there was a time i was studying thirty eight chapters of the bible a day and would spend eight hours speaking in tongues. I remember when this ministry “OMEGA FIRE MINISTRY” started, i called some of my pastors and we prayed twenty four hours stretched….we forgot time…Kai!!! One time i prayed for days and did not know which day it was that i stopped… Some times, back then, my mother would call me, “Johnson!”, i wil respond with tongues “LAKADO’SHANDA” and my mum thought I was insane.. You cannot soak yourself in prayer like that and will not manifest power… When u stay alone with God, when you comeout, you carry God…. On prayer, I want the youths to know these: Prayer is the voice that moves the earth. Any man that doesn’t pray will never sail in life. May God teach us how to pray. M...

SECRETS TO KEEPING THE FIRE OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE —Apostle Lawrence Oyor

 SECRETS TO KEEPING THE FIRE OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE - Apostle Lawrence Oyor . Any believer who ignores the sheep nature to embrace  the lion nature will be bastardized, until you take hold of yourself, you can't take hold of your world.    "On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves," (Mark 11:15). The temple of the lord which is your body is either a house of prayer or den of demons. Until you decide to stop somethings happening in your life nothing changes, you need to process it in your heart, count the cost and decide what and who is leaving your life then list out what will become your renewed agenda and determine to stand by it. You should not keep everything meant to run you down all around you and expect your fire to keep burning. That addiction is still in your life because you are not ye...

MUST READ!! My Experience With Secular Music – Pastor E.A Adeboye

My Experience With Secular Music – Pastor E.A Adeboye In the late 1970s, I was an ardent fan of Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, and Fela. As a young Christian, I saw nothing wrong in listening to their songs. I kept enjoying the vibes from their albums until one fateful day I attended an evening bible study. The teacher instructed “that all secular music records must leave your house”, using 1 John 2:15-17 as a basis. I struggled in my spirit and was not willing to accept this. On my way home that evening, the Holy Spirit did not let me rest. He kept reiterating that I had heard the truth. That same night, I got rid of all my secular albums and as time went by, I replaced them with gospel music. I observed that going to bed, having listened to worldly songs, has a way of affecting your sleep. There was a particular song I listened to before my bedtime and demons came chasing in my dream but when I started listening to gospel songs, I discovered that I usually dream of angels, vict...
