HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!

1.    “God only confirms the words we receive and believe – not just what we write down.” 

2.    “Until a man is born-again, his praise is mere noise or religious entertainment. Only the living can praise the Lord.” 

3.    "It is not a sin to go to hospitals or take medications. But if you are not sick, you won’t need it. It is paying all over again (when) someone already paid for it with His life." 

4.    “Prayer is a ‘closet’ ministry; it is a ministry of the secret place, but God rewards you openly. Praying for others is a hidden treasure.” 

5.    “Your harvest is not in view until your prayers rise up to heaven.” 

6.    “Wearing a long face shows you still have a long way to go, therefore, rejoice in the Lord, and again I say, rejoice!” 

7.    “Don’t settle for grammar, go for power! The enemy does not respect grammar, but power. He does not respect your titles, wealth, etc., but power!” 

8.    “Until you’re saved, you are not a child of destiny; you are a child of chance, (you are simply dust!) and the devil has the authority to feed on your life…New birth is a MUST to fulfill destiny.” 

9.    “It is the planting of a seed that gives value to the seed…it is your ‘plantedness’ that determines the levels of your fruitfulness.”
10.“If you are not in the position to be on the go preaching, you must be on your knees praying.” 

11.“Christianity is a faith of responsibility. It is a covenant-based faith. For, any provision in redemption has a set of conditions to be met before they are delivered.” 

12.“Soul-winning turns ordinary people into extra-ordinary giants because you are engaging in what touches God the most.” 

13.“Until you pass the test of dedication, your vision has no future…when you pass His dedication test, you can’t miss His manifestations. Until you arrive at the point of dedication, you are not free from frustrations.” 

14.“Every soul-winner is on God’s payroll and the pay package is far beyond monetary values.” 

15.“Every soul-winner is a kingdom fisherman. There’s a coin in the mouth of every fish caught. Every soul won to Christ is entitled to a pay. But until the fish is caught, you can’t access the pay.” 

16.“Love is stronger than faith. Faith will provoke divine manifestations, but love will bring God down in person, for he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.

17.“Divine plan is useless without divine insights.”

25.“Dedication implies a deadly commitment to the Caller and then the calling.” 

26."In the early church, sickness was not part of their identity…it was alien to them. And I can tell you this: this is one of their mysteries – they were breaking bread daily so they had their health insurance constantly updated." 

27.“You can’t walk in His plans and miss His backing…A baby lion is at rest hanging around the mother lion.” 

28.“When God send you on a mission, He goes before you, He walks with you, He works through you and He works for you.” 

29.“The spirit man is the engine of the man. The soul is the gear box and the body is the body of the vehicle. The body is useless when the engine knocks.”

31."It (the communion) can attack cancer ONLINE; then it will devastate it ‘ON-GROUND’." 

32."The Communion is a spiritual medium of blood transfusion. So your corrupt blood is being replaced by His incorruptible blood.

44."…we talk about the white blood corpuscles in science which are called the soldiers of the body which attack any enemy that attack your body. But the Blood of Jesus is the whitest blood. It is the stainless blood of the Lamb…when you take the blood; you’re taking in the divine white blood corpuscles. It goes inside to launch an attack against your attackers so as to set you free."

53.“Every other spiritual gift will lose value if the spirit of holiness is not in place. (It’s just a matter of time). Solomon had a unique gift of the spirit of wisdom but he lacked the spirit of holiness…and he crashed; Samson had the spirit of might but the spirit of holiness was not there … and he crashed.” 

54. “The moment God can trust that you will not misbehave with His supplies, He will put them across…It’s your capacity rating that determines what He puts across to you.”

57.“When you are away from the body (through fasting), you are at rest with the Lord.” 

58. “A walk with Jesus is a profession; it is business engaging in word practice. Serving God is big-time business. Fasting is big-time business for high-level profiting.” 

59.“Not every prayer is answered. Secure His attention by praying according to His will via His word. Any prayer that is void of “it is written” is null and void.”
