God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us (Ephesians 3:20). The world we are in today suffers not only from physical needs but also from spiritual brokenness. This has brought about the decadence in the church that made the church to succumb to so much garbage found in the world. Christians find it hard to believe the miracles of God because where there is garbage you see vultures, chicken and rats etc. How then can God’s power manifest in such places except there is a spiritual cleansing?  Please don’t mistake magic for miracles or false men of God to true men of God. We must watch out for those false preachers and people who come into the church as members whereas they are wolves in sheep clothing who smile a lot, chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don’t be impressed with their charisma; rather look for the character. A genuine preacher or church member will “never” exploit your emotions or your pocket. Many people today get weary of the church because there are many wolves in the church as members and many half-baked men/ herbalists on the altar. How do you except the church to grow powerfully with such mixed multitude? Social media is where people get their information about God, His will and His purpose. It is so sad and sickening seeing the power of God made less true than it appears to be. People believe in magic and run down miracles as if it’s just manipulation in the church. Beloved, miracles do happen (Matthew 9:35 – 38). I don’t need to write down the whole quotation just for you to see it. God is still in the business of doing signs and wonders using His true followers to bring it into manifestation. Because you see people leaving their hair like that of a madman and call it fashion doesn’t mean that there is no hair salon. How far can you see? This has got nothing to do with education or title. My dear what kind of picture are you painting for yourself and where do you want to be in life here and after. All these determine the way you react to things, how you see God for yourself, and most especially what you ask and your obedience to God in “all matters”. It’s kind of funny when you see people who are highly anointed, they receive promises from God and great revelations but they are too stubborn to God by refusing to obey Him completely which have caused them to be stunted in growth financially and in their area of calling. Whereas you see those who may not be as gifted yet they are obedient to God and are successful in their calling.

This brings us to allow the Spirit of God work deeply within us and gently without fuss like the stubborn mule (Psalm 32:9). Many believers are conversant with the word of God but lack the “Revelation of God’s Word”. God deals with all His children in two ways – by the word (which is one having a revelation of God’s word) and by the dealings of His Spirit (which is by our day to day walk with the Holy Spirit as we go through challenges). If you happen to grow in one and deficient in the other, the less God uses you but when you grow in both areas then you will be a vessel of honour fully fit for the Master’s use (2 Timothy 2: 20 – 21).  Many times believers misunderstand some of the dealings of the Holy Spirit for the attacks from the enemy hence the need to key in and begin to see things from God’s own point of view (Romans 12:2). Having a closer relationship and a consistent walk with the Lord is the key to know how far you can be able to ask and what you can receive. Many go about claiming God’s promises yet rejecting the terms and conditions. How then will the promises come true? This is why so many become impatient, then they become frustrated. They now lash out to friends, family or anyone close to them and more especially to God (2 Timothy 3:5). Jesus came to meet that need and challenge. He has also incorporated we His followers to join Him in this work (Matthew 9:37 – 38). God wants to release His power only to those who can be able to use it reach out to the world and win souls and not those who will gratify their selfish desire by destroying others and themselves. Thus the need to grow in grace, spiritual strength and become better acquainted with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ so as to enable us not to feed on junk from the world system and the false information from social media.
