Whatever took her to hellfire already tells you about the spirit she encountered there. Believers don't go to hell, not even for an excursion A believer is full of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is an ascending spirit Only those with a descending spirit go to hell She must be very depressed and dealing with a spirit of heaviness to have gone to hell Whatever she claimed she saw was a lie because the spirits in hell are all lying Spirits You cannot find the truth in a land of deceit

See, dear Christian, if you are struggling with something, don't keep quiet. Get help. Some things automatically stop after you get filled with the Holy Spirit, and some things don't. Some things automatically stop as you read your Bible; some things don't For some things, you need counselling and professional help If the issue is something you are dealing with internally, which wouldn't spill outwards to others. If you don't get help, you will suffer with it all your life If, however, it is something you are dealing with internally which spills out to other people. Once you act on it. You will be held liable, and it might land you in jail or on a sex offender's register or with a reputation as an abuser, a molester or a rapist Deal with the little foxes before they grow so big that they consume you

Never Abandon Yourself One of the easiest ways to lose yourself in a relationship is to make your entire life revolve around another person. You stop doing the things you enjoy. You neglect your friendships. You abandon your interests. You stop pursuing your goals. Eventually, everything becomes about your partner. That's not necessarily devotion. Sometimes it's self-abandonment. A relationship should be part of your life, not the entirety of your identity. Keep your hobbies. Maintain meaningful friendships. Continue learning. Pursue your ambitions. Love someone deeply without forgetting who you are. The right relationship shouldn’t require you to disappear so another person can feel important.

I am in awe of God. I cannot say if this testimony is appropriate to be shared generally; this is why I am sending it to the admin. Sir, I have been impotent for over nine years. I was married, and we had a child before atherosclerosis changed the trajectory of my life. I used so many drugs until my doctor advised that I might end up dying if I didn't take it easy. I was 31 years old then, and now at forty, I have resigned to being a paper horse and managing my health so that I can live for as long as possible. On Friday, i joined the prophetic service in the evening, and the revelation of Jesus was what I met Brother Gbenga was teaching. He said we should call the name of Jesus, and I did. The next thing I knew, I was gone. When I woke up, I was on the floor and my hitherto dead member was standing erect. Ha! it was tingling, and my body was tingling all over too. Sir, i have been using it since then, and my wife has been happier and warmer towards me than ever before. She is even talking of us having a second baby, but I am not bothered about that. This work that it is working is enough for me. I was healed, and there has been no heartache or pain of any kind. Gloooooooory!

Good morning Sir, Testimony time 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Today as I walked down a street somewhere around Ikeja on my way to pick up some documents, I passed an old woman who gestured to me that she needed help. I had passed her before but took some steps back to stand beside her. On asking for the kind of help she needed, she said she needed money to buy her drugs and to eat, that she has arthritis. So I asked if I could pray with her and she said, "Yes, she had pains in her bones, she showed me her legs, wrapped in a knee support and pains in her back down to the spine. So I prayed in the spirit with her for a while and asked her the pain level, she said it had gone down, then I prayed again and told her to speak to her body that the pain in her bones is gone and she is healed. She did so. I then asked again if she felt any more pain, she said it was gone, so I told her to stand on her two feet and she did with little support. She then laid my hands on her back that was hurting her, so that I can pray for her. I prayed in the spirit and told her to make declarations as well that the pain in her back is healed and she made the declarations. I asked her if she still felt any pain she said a little bit, that it was better than before. I prayed again and this time she moved her shoulders to the left and right and said she couldn't move them before. She was so overjoyed and asked that I go and open a church 😅😅😅 that I have the gift of healing. I gave her some money to buy something to eat and left. On my way back I passed that same spot to say goodbye to her when she stood up without me asking her and told me that I should see, the pain was gone, her legs and her back pain that troubled her were healed. She said cannot be lying at her age, that she will be 78 years on the 20th of September that she will go to church to give testimony on Sunday. Glory to God 🙌🏽.

If you continuously spend everything you earn, avoid learning valuable skills, refuse to take calculated risks, chase appearances, and prioritize immediate comfort over long-term ownership, becoming wealthy becomes much harder. On the other hand, if you learn to increase your earning power, control your lifestyle, acquire assets, use leverage, and stay consistent for years, your odds improve dramatically. You don’t need to become obsessed with money. You don’t need to become a billionaire. You don’t even need to define success as being rich. But you should understand the game. Because financial freedom rarely happens by accident. It is usually built quietly, long before anyone else notices. And perhaps the most uncomfortable question isn’t: “Why aren’t I rich yet?” It’s: “Are the decisions I’m making today actually taking me there?”

Unfortunately, a good number of Christians are stuck at this stage. Hopefully, they discover the enormous possibilities they have in Christ.

You can live in a perfectly nice house while owning assets worth several times its value. Drive an ordinary car while your investments quietly generate more wealth than any salary you might qualify to earn if you wanted to. Fly economy and stay in the occasional spectacular hotel because you actually want to, rather than because you need to demonstrate that you can. And here’s the beautiful part: Nobody needs to know. That means your wealth remains a tool rather than becoming a performance.

I joined a church in July 2008. I rose through the ranks quickly because I was a campus fellowship leader who had just graduated, and I was really burning with zeal for the Lord Three weeks after joining the church, I became their youth church pastor, and I led the youth church into its golden season with several breakthroughs and supernatural encounters. However, I had a lot of questions which the church and its leadership could not answer to my satisfaction. I wanted to know why certain conduct of the church was limited to the instructions left for the leaders by the founder, even though the founder was non-literate and those conduct rules were clearly written in the Bible. They said it was church doctrine, but I didn't like things that do not make sense. The founder of a church said you must not build a story building, but always a bungalow. The founder said you must not pray for people in a certain pose or using a certain material element when such a prayer is contrary to the scriptures, and nobody could question it. Since the founder said it, even though it is not biblical, we must obey it. I didn't like it. So I began to question these things. I just wanted to be sure we were following the Scriptures and not some human bias, but my questions got me into a lot of trouble The more I pushed for clarity, the more I was branded an heretic and a hot-headed person who would not conform or fall in line. I didn't see it that way. I felt it was important to ask questions and also question the status quo of reality if indeed we want to have a better relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. Eventually, the church leadership had a meeting and decided that I should not be given the room to hold the microphone or teach again in church so that I wouldn't cause dissension among the members with my refusal to embrace the doctrine of the church and my charismatic nature, which makes people want to listen to me. I got frozen out of the ministration roster. A few weeks after they benched me, the assistant pastor's daughter suddenly developed a mental illness while she was on campus studying law. She didn't do drugs or any such thing. It was a sudden affliction. Even though she was a youth who attended the youth church, which i was asked to lead, her parents kept this development from me. Fortunately, I was invited to minister in Ghana at the time. I invited the church leadership to my invitation, but they were of the opinion that I had not conformed to the doctrine of the church, and therefore I was not qualified to teach anybody anything. The assistant pastor told me to my face that those who listen to,e and follow me are being led by me to hellfire. Oh, I didn't mention that I am an ardent advocate of "Once Saved, Always Saved", and they were absolutely opposed to the idea of eternal salvation or security of the believer. They couldn't give me scriptures to support their position, and I had several scriptures to support mine, which I bandied about like a weapon of mass destruction anytime we had an argument about the doctrine. I went to Ghana to minister, only to come back to being accused of going to Ghana to collect power. The daughter of the assistant pastor was still sick, and it had gotten so bad that her admission was deferred pending when she would get better. They saw the miracles; they saw many church members getting healed, becoming mothers and getting prosperous when I attended to their cases, but rather than reach out to me to deal with the issue of the mental illness, they refused to do so because it would mean a compromise of their doctrinal position. Pride is not a good thing. Eventually, one of the deacons informed me about it. I drove to the hospital where the young lady was admitted, and I prayed. I understood that doctrines can take some time to sort out, but love is not conditional in Christ. I asked the Lord to please heal the young lady, and I asked that the young lady be discharged from the hospital so that I could see her in church the following Sunday. On Sunday, I went to the church expecting to see her, and she showed up with her parents. My heart leapt for joy. After service, she came to me herself and said: "I was in the hospital on Monday, and I saw that you came to me and laid your hands on my head, and I was healed". That was the day the voices I was hearing stopped. Can you please lay your hands on my head and pray for me just as you did in the vision? I didn't hesitate. I laid hands on her head and began to pray. The mistake I made was that I closed my eyes. I didn't see her parents walk back into church or the shock in their faces as they saw me praying for their daughter. What I noticed was that one minute my hands were on her head and the next minute, my hands were hanging in the air. I opened my eyes and saw her parents dragging her away. Her father said, "Don't you dare pray for my daughter, you.....(unprintable name)" I know that the Lord has healed the young lady, and the issue of mental illness has been resolved permanently by the power of the Holy Spirit. While I was in Lagos last weekend, I got a message from this young lady. She said she wanted to see me, and I joyfully sent her my location on WhatsApp. She brought her husband to be and introduced him to me. She told him that since I prayed with her in 2020, the strange voice she had heard on and off since she was fifteen was silenced forever. She was able to complete her studies and recently graduated from the USA with her master's degree. She said she was sorry for her parents' conduct and knew that they must never know she came to see me because they see me as an enemy of the gospel. She said, however, that she was a secret disciple and had never missed any of my teachings, which are in the public domain. I blessed her and her intended and assured her that I have never had anything but deep respect and profound love towards her and her parents. Doctrinal differences can be very contentious and emotional, but any believer who has read the book of 1st and 2nd Corinthians would know that knowledge puffs up, but love binds us together. Regardless of differences in our doctrinal beliefs as Christians, I strongly recommend that we do everything within the body of Christ and even to those not within the body of Christ, with love. -GSW-

There is no war in the future of Nigeria. Please mark this as a prophetic declaration

Please note that I am writing this without permission, not to flatter anyone, but to clarify the facts. Long before many Nigerian believers found words for it, many people were already tired of a Christianity rooted in fear: village rituals, quarterly deliverance, seed offerings for anointing, “spiritual covering,” and prayer points that made the devil seem more present than Christ. Bro Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo @GbengaWemimo did not create that fatigue. He simply refused to stay silent about it. All his teachings and consistent effort aim to shift believers away from religion-as-performance toward a practical walk with the Holy Spirit. He teaches that a Christian can pray in the Spirit, hear God's voice, heal the sick, and make everyday decisions without constantly seeking a pastor's "covering.” He openly states that no single church or teacher has all the truth, including himself. That honesty is rarer than many realize in Nigerian Christendom. He has spent years naming truths many felt but were afraid to express: that seed-sowing as a transaction is not the gospel; that deliverance as a career can keep saints dwell on the devil; that cursing members is not the Spirit of Christ; that salvation is not a leash pastors yank whenever someone falters. I will not focus on his CSR work that has paid bills, supported widows, and helped thousands of the needy since 2020. That is not just content; it is labor. You’re not required to endorse every sentence he’s posted. Some of his language about prosperity and “anointing” may unsettle those familiar with how such words are often misused. Some of his stories are sweeping, and his bluntness online might seem harsh. Disagreement is allowed. Respect doesn’t require a shrine. What’s harder to deny is the positive impact many people report after engaging with his teachings: less fear of curses, greater confidence in reading the Bible, Holy Spirit baptism that isn’t just for show, and a reminder that Christ is enough without draining your account for a man’s ministry. My generation grew up on enemy prayers and celebrity pulpits, a significant shift. Thank you, Bro Gbenga @GbengaWemimo, for using your platform to encourage questions, for training believers to walk instead of wait, and for emphasizing that the Holy Spirit is not a Sunday accessory. May God continue to grant you wisdom, restraint, and grace, especially the grace to remain a brother, not a brand.

Duane Miller was a Texas pastor serving at a church in Houston. After a long season of effective ministry, he contracted a virus that penetrated the myelin sheath of his vocal folds and damaged the nerve tissue beyond repair. For pastors, that’s kind of your money-maker. He couldn’t preach anymore. He saw over 200 doctors without improvement, and he had to resign from his position. He got a secular job that didn’t require him to speak. Then an invitation came from a church to guest speak in a class that was held in the basement of a church. They figured that he sounded a bit like a wounded bullfrog, but they could give him a microphone and he could grumble his way through it. He resisted the invitation. He was battling suicidal inclinations and didn’t have anything to say. But he said yes. While he was there, he began to speak – I mean, if you call it speaking – about healing. He said “I still believe that God heals.” And then, it came back. Right in the middle of this talk. His voice simply recovered as he talked about the God that healed. All of a sudden, after years, he was clear again. Don’t believe me? Good news. Someone had decided at the last minute to record the talk. You can listen to it. Look it up. Listen to it a few times. See if you’re as stunned as he is. Now go through all the possible objections you can. He wasn’t faking it. He literally lost his job over this. He wasn’t healed by medical treatment. Doctors had tried, failed, and given up. Miller had already resolved himself to the permanence of his condition.

Review your life regularly. You don’t even have to do this once a month. You could try it every three months. But most people are busy living. Merely existing by default. Few people stop to examine how they are living. These questions can help. What worked? What wasted my time? What did I avoid? What should you do more of? What should I stop doing? What deserves my time now? What should I do differently in the next few months? “The examined life can save you years of regret. Reflection creates awareness. Without conscious life review, you repeat the same mistakes with more experience but not more wisdom. You can’t improve what you refuse to examine. Review your life every few months to see where you’re going, not just where you hoped to go. Small adjustments made every few months prevent years of getting stuck in the wrong direction.

These days, we tend to admire people based on material things. Wealth, title, position, looks—all these lead us to form an opinion on someone. Often, we equate wisdom with these attributes as well. We automatically may think that someone wealthy must be wise, while someone without as much must not be so intelligent. The truth is that someone can have a lot of wealth and be a complete fool. Someone may be in a senior position but be a total idiot, and someone may appear to know a lot, yet when conversing with them, it becomes apparent that they are a self-proclaimed expert rather than an actual one. This important question about wisdom is answered by a Jewish sage named Ben Zoma: “Who is wise? One who learns from every person.” — Pirkei Avot 4:1 I love this saying because it turns our usual understanding of wisdom upside down. Wisdom isn’t necessarily about how much you know. It’s about recognizing that no matter how much you know, there is still more to learn. This concept is not unique to Judaism. It is found within many other cultures and religions as well. They speak about ego and the dangers of it. About trying to overcome your ego. Essentially, this is what this means. Don’t be so full of yourself that you become closed to learning.Stay humble. True humility is not denying one’s talents. It’s not a lack of confidence. It’s that you know yourself and your talents, but you don’t need the recognition. You don’t need to shout your greatness. You don’t need the acknowledgement from others. You don’t need to win every argument just because you know you’re right. Sometimes humility is knowing you’re right but not needing to prove it. True humility is also being open to the possibility that you might actually be wrong. We see this in the Bible with Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro. Moses was leading the Israelites. Jethro was a Midianite priest. He wasn’t an Israelite leader or an Israelite. Yet Jethro saw something Moses wasn’t seeing. Moses was trying to handle all the disputes among the people himself. Jethro told him that this was too much of a burden on him and not sustainable. He advised Moses to appoint capable people to help judge the nation and only bring the more difficult matters for Moses to handle. (Exodus 18:17–26.) Moses not only listened to Jethro, but he also implemented his advice. He didn’t dismiss Jethro because he wasn’t an Israelite. He didn’t say, “I’m the leader. I know better.” Had Moses just turned Jethro away simply because Moses was in a superior leadership position, or because they were from different cultures, so much could have been lost. Everyone has something to give to this world, and everyone has things to learn. You can learn from someone who has more than you. You can learn from someone who has less. You can learn from someone you agree with and someone you don’t. You can learn from someone older as well as someone younger. If you reach a spot where you believe you have all the answers, well, that’s great. But that also means you have finished learning, finished growing, and, in some ways, finished living.

I was having a conversation with my wife earlier One of those conversations, which one would assume was one-sided She was talking about her life before she met me I was listening but pretending not to be listening It was a phone call I was taking a walk on the cold streets of whatever i country I had found myself in And she was in the warmth of our home with the children I heard my daughter asking her about something and my sons bugging about another thing I miss them, but to the work, to the work! So she was keeping me company, and she started talking about the uncertainty that plagued her about her future after she graduated from the university and started working It was a story she had never shared before, and I featured in it I mean, she was asking God to show her a vision of her future, and there I was in the future, featuring as I feature now, but without a face and a name for me. She said she saw a man surrounded by many students; he was obviously their teacher The students all surrounded the man, asking him questions, and he was answering Later, she saw the students fetching water and decided to join them As she was fetching the water, she saw that the teacher was me Hahahahahahaha! She said she disliked me at the time because I was spiritually cocky and always acted as if I knew it all (Can't say she was right, but ladies usually hold one thing or the other against me since I was a child. So it was not a big deal) So she called a friend and told the friend she had the corniest of dreams She saw one guy she didn't like at all in her dream, featuring prominently like a main character in her life She and her friend laughed it off hahahahahahahaha! Thank God she didn't share that thing she saw with me until now I mean, she never even mentioned it in passing Several years and everything else called history went by Then she mentioned it while I was miles away taking a walk in the cold And the timing made sense I understood it and can accept it as true based on where I was and the timing of the message to me You see, we are entering into a season when we will take our share of the future and begin to master it as the Lord leads us by the Holy Spirit The future is not always crystal clear, but it becomes clearer and clearer by the day to those who stick to the Lord God, who has ordained that future and detailed it to happen according to his purpose The Lord is careful to show us the future in blurry form Our spirit sees it clearly and works assiduously towards it, while our soul and body struggle to catch up to the reality, even when it is staring us in the face This is one of the mysteries of the future and why the future must be navigated with knowledge. The Month of September is the Month of Epignosis. We will learn how to apprehend, own, navigate and master the future We will learn how to plan and execute in real time what would trigger the future that we plan into fulfilment We will not be afraid to claim the sceptre we have worked hard for when our hard work brings it to us We will walk in our preordained paths and overcome! -GSW-
