THE CHILDREN’S BREAD
– MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL –
1st. September 2023
SCRIPTURE:
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”
Numbers 6: 24-26, ESV.
Child of God, so, what’s up?! I heard you all missed your favorite sister in the whole universe – Your most beloved and peaceful sister SUSAN! I had to hurry back to you all, after all, I do not want to be the cause of some serious emergencies: NEGLIGENCE or ABANDONMENT. You know a thing or two about cancel culture among the very young ones, right? I am mindful of the fact, that some of you might come up in the near future to accuse me of neglecting or abandoning you for more than few weeks, hence, the need for me to do my due diligence – Show up!
So, Child of God, a very happy and blessed new month to you! I bless you in the eternally good and faithful name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Let the favor and goodness of our LORD be with you this month and always, amen.
There is a group of people, whom the children of God, including myself, owe a great deal of appreciation with regards to the good works, which they have been doing, and with this month’s devotional, I am led to remind them that they are such wonderful gems. You see, precious ones, this appreciation is to those of them, who we already know, but also to those of them, who many of us do not yet know about, but who are nonetheless, doing their best to help so many children of God Almighty, not to perish for their lack of knowledge, thus, helping the Church to become better.
Precious ones, I do believe that you have now come to the understanding that you do not need any special title attached to your names, in order to be an authentic child of God, to love the LORD and His Church, to be used by God, or to be known by HIM. Demons do not respect earthly titles, especially when they are conferred on you by man and traditions, but rather, they submit to you only when God knows you, confers such titles on you, and authorizes you, all else, is nothing but deception, theatrics, and gimmicks; human packaging, things which are very important to the flesh, which is exactly what Satan has been using from the get-go to deceive as many as are willing to be deceived, or the multitudes who are just spiritually blind, should they put their whole trust in titles instead of God Almighty. Having said that, it is not an evil thing to be a titled person, or to give titles to people, as a means of bestowing some kind of honor on them, by those who appreciate them for that which is good or Godly. It is wonderful to be recognized because it makes us feel good about ourselves and our good achievements, thus, to know that we are appreciated is a wonderful thing, but it also goes only as far as that. I have the best titles in the world bestowed on me, the first and most important one, being; CHILD OF GOD and the second is the title – MUMMY, which is a title of honor and should be handled and respected as such! Under the title, “Child of God” is where you get every other title, based on whom God has called you to be; Apostle, Prophet,…. Investigative journalists, bloggers for Christ, Godly YouTubers, etc., therefore, child of God, you are very important to God. As a result, where people hate, or insult you for trying to tell them the truth based on what you have found out, it doesn’t matter, as long as it is the truth with no evil intention, or motive behind it, take it as your badge of honor and service to God Almighty, for HE sees YOU and HE appreciates you!
Child of God, you see, I truly applaud these individuals for their efforts, and their unwavering commitments to shedding light to the atrocities going on within the churches in the name of Jesus Christ, especially within the African churches. This is not to say, that the churches in the industrialized nations are much better, but rather, because to some extent, they have functioning judiciary systems, where complaints can be filed, be looked into, and taken seriously should the Church herself for whatever reason be incapable of doing so, as opposed to places, where helping those, who are committing such crimes to escape, in exchange for some kind of favor; financial, networks, prophesy, friendship, prayer, etc., is the tradition, and culture, be it in the church or within the judiciary, where to a large extent, protecting evil seems to be more important to them, than defending the vulnerable, or the will, and name of God Almighty. Nonetheless, as we keep on the good work in helping people from anywhere we are, even in our little ways, which might seem insignificant, as well as keeping the prayers up, I do believe, that our beloved people, countries and continents will somehow, and by God’s help keep getting better. Therefore, it is all about knowing, that in our little ways, we are doing what is required of us, by God Almighty.
Nonetheless, whenever you realize, that anyone whom we are appreciative of, is no longer who they are supposed to be, according to the nature of God, and they are not willing to come back to the right lane, then you are not bound to remain subscribed to them or continue your support for them, though we all hope and pray for them, that such a day will never come in the most faithful name of Jesus Christ, amen. Therefore, I find it just appropriate to say these encouraging words to you all, who are doing such good works for God Almighty from wherever you are; within the church or from your social media platforms,
“In the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ – Thank you! May God Almighty be with you and your families as you do what you do for Him. May your lives be in His Hands and may He reward you with His favor, protection, love, blessings, and every Godly desire of your hearts, which is according to HIS will for you. I do not believe that you are perfect. I do not believe that you are not without sin or error. I do not believe that you know all things, and this is because like myself and all others, who love the LORD Jesus Christ and hate what He hates, we are humans, thus, fallible. Nonetheless, it is a commendable thing when someone, even without any visible reward commits himself to exposing evil, which is leading multitudes into deception, or worse still, to eternal damnation. It is not easy I must admit as this work is not one, that gets too many people on board with you as you might even get to face, or have already faced harsh treatments from people and even from different institutions for what you do. This particular lane is one I have come to understand, that attracts the enemy’s rage and vengeance for exposing their wiles, in order to set at liberty from their clutches, even if it is just one soul! Consequently, it is not a place, that very many people would love to thread, therefore, the need to say thank you to you, and I truly appreciate your unwavering efforts in doing what you do – God bless you!”
What you have been doing is indeed, a cumbersome work! It is equally one that could dis-hearten you, should you not guard your hearts, as the mafias, or for a more perfect choice of words, let us quote them; the cabals within the church, whom you are being used by God to exposed are deceivers, liars and tricksters, and even trying to decipher their evil operations can become quite an arduous challenge from a human perspective. Therefore, get used to taking the things that proceeds from their lips with a pinch of salt, as they can be quite convoluted in nature, which is only an attempt to make you lose focus on their dealings and the truth of the matter.
GODLY ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS
Based on my experiences, I would also mention, that we are to hold one another accountable; When your ways or mine no longer align with who we truly are as children of God, then, I think we should help one another by giving ourselves a gentle reminder of who we are. Nevertheless, should we run off like an ungodly wild ox, unwilling to correct our folly. Should we ever begin to metamorphose into something that is not the image of God, then, as we should know by now, a gentle reminder would no longer suffice, but rather, it should call for more help, even in the form of a little Holy Spirit “KOBOKO” to be wielded, in order to help us come back on the right path. As Nigerians, I know I wouldn’t need to explain to you what Koboko means, therefore, as long as we keep the good works, by coming back to the right path, where and when we err, then Koboko, which in this context is equivalent to spiritual strong meat or word, harsh if need be, will definitely not be needed for any of us, 😊right? Okay, lemme get serious!
THE CABALS ACCUSING THE CARTELS!
The worst part of what one is dealing with here as it relates to the “CHURCH-CABALS ” and their “CARTELS”, is that in truth, most of them are very diabolic and would go to every spiritual and physical length in their efforts to destabilize you from doing what you do, and this they do, only with those, whom they have identified as serious threats to their perfectly organized and very functional ungodly operations. As I have already mentioned, you become a threat to them the moment you are trying to help the vulnerable, by exposing the evil works which they are not able to decipher for themselves, due to the fact, that they are spiritually blind, and gullible. Thus, without help, they cannot escape the clutches of those, who benefit from the fact that they are spiritually ignorant. As a result, the need for you to be ever ready to repent of any sin you fall into as we are all human beings, and are bound to miss the mark every now and again. I would love to repeat this very important exhortation to as many as are the children of God Almighty and true followers of Jesus Christ, with or without a title; We must learn to permit the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins and make us ever mindful of the truth, that we are weak in the flesh, and that without God Almighty on our sides, these proud waters would easily swallow us up and destroy us all, and I am serious when I say to you, that these predatory spiritual beings; mortal and immortal, would literally eat us up like pop-corn should we not have God Almighty on our sides. Hence, whatever it takes to get God Almighty on our side, it is worth taking the risk, as well as enduring the pain.
CULTURE OF PUBLIC THEFT
Sons and daughters of God, at least, I am writing to those of you who are still in the business of giving honor to whom it is due as opposed to stealing it from those to whom it truly belongs. As children of God, we are not to be found amongst those who steal honor, or rewards, either for ourselves or on behalf of others whom it doesn’t belong to, like thieves and robbers would, which is the spirit of theft, robbery, envy, jealousy, ungodly competition, and covetousness at work in a person, a people or a place. Consequently, this appreciation is really long over-due, given the fact that these secular or Christian bloggers, or investigative journalists as they would love to be addressed, shed light into the ills, which has become endemic in some societies, or spaces where, either MOST of their religious leaders have become a part of the so-called cabals; the same cabals they love to invoke in their defense whenever they have been caught in undeniable iniquity, as those fighting or targeting them, although they and their so-called cabals dine and wine together, share amongst themselves, the loot, which they have gotten from the poor and needy. These investigative journalists or bloggers keep on shedding light into places, and spaces where the rule of law or the judiciary system is rogue, bound, comfortably asleep, or has been put to death. Thus, the bravery of these group of people, especially those of them, who either are natives of such places, or resident in such places, to still dare to speak up even when it means, that they have to do so with their identities hidden for security reasons as such societies and people, who’s evil, they are shedding light on, do not have any form of respect for human lives, neither do they fear God Almighty, to Whom these lives belong. Hence, these evil beings, mostly seek revenge against these brave people, who are nothing but voices for the voiceless, as well as honor for the dis-honored.
Therefore, godly people should not deny them their rightful due as these group of fine ones, though a handful of them in number, who are genuinely concerned for the multitudes of the gullibles within the church, rose up and said: Not on our watch, as it relates to the evil renamed to miracle money, which some wicked and evil so-called apostles, prophets, and so-called men of ?, have introduced into the church to destroy multitudes. In a world that has not lost its mind and honor, it is actually those, who stood against such wickedness and evil, from the start, despite the terror which was unleashed against them by Satan and his vessels, as well as from people who insulted them and shamed them for revealing the truth, that should be considered heroes and given the reward for their heroism, but in the world we now live in, where evil is renamed to good, and good to evil, it seems to be, that to be rewarded is based on who is more deceptive, demonic, visible, who is loudest, and has more following, that they are able to perfectly deceive and keep under ungodly control. Most times, those who qualify for such rewards, do not even know right from wrong, but where they fully qualify is, that they have been programmed or groomed to worship man, ungodly traditions of the elders, cultures, and not God Almighty or His ways. Consequently, it is not shocking to us, that those who are true heroes are no longer appreciated, praised for their good works, not to talk of rewarding them, but the reward and appreciation goes to anyone who is deceptive enough to use their brands to gain visibility, and sometimes even with the message or the efforts of another – The world is truly sick and most of the people in it as well! Thus, it is the relentless efforts of these kinds of very fine ones to confront, oppose, expose, resist, reject, push back, and be used by God to halt the evil which was already spreading like wild fire in the church for a long time! Yes, child of God, it is “SOLELY” their efforts, which eventually attracted some men of God who might have been fearful to provoke the evil beehives, to finally get on board by lending their voices. Consequently, we are indeed grateful to these men of God too, that they eventually came out of the different crevices which they went into for safety, to eventually help the social media young men and women, as well as stubborn bloggers, to do what they actually have been “assigned by God Almighty” to do. Hence, the tithes, the offerings, the love gifts, the seeds, which they get to collect, as well as the spot-light which they get to enjoy, and finally, the titles they have bagged for themselves. As a matter of truth, they should have been the ones in the fore-front of such battles from the onset, and should they have risen to the occasion of crisis, the social media young men and women, as well as the bloggers who are being used by God to give them the unquenchable fire, which would continue to be so, as long as, and in whichever manner only HE, The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY would determine that HE has need of them. Hence, “these social-media-people” and bloggers, whom those, whose evil are being exposed are now crying, and whining about, running helter-skelter to see how to tame, silence, or man-handle them, would never have left the comfort of their different and multiple hustles, in order to delve into such spaces in the first place – Think about it child of God, they would do and earn much better should they specialize on talking about the likes of “Davido” and his multiple baby-mamas, or giving non-stop “BS.” and deceptive prophetic messages about kingdom spouses. They would do much better should they only focus on selling wigs, lingerie, or whatever goes, to their hustled-up communities in their different platforms, as well as doing podcasts on how to hook-up with, and finally pin-down the “so-called” high value, or billionaire men or husbands 😉. Therefore, God Almighty always has “a remnant” should those whom HE put in positions of authority begin to flex their muscles against HIM, and the truth which would definitely give many people who would hear or read this a bit of a headache is, that most times, they would be the least expected and humanly unacceptable people – For God, this is nothing!
Therefore, LET US NEVER FORGET, that most of those who are considered as fathers of faith saw it all; Yes, they saw all these atrocities happening within the Bride of Christ, which they CLAIM to be custodians of, but they pretended as though nothing was happening, in order, to continue currying favor and maintaining interminable relationships with those committing such crimes within the Church, as well as not to rock the very boat which could topple their earthly positions, which they fully believed to be holding unto from eternity, and also believing, that it would thereby, stay intact, till eternity. Hence, it begs the question:
Who are they committed to?
LET’S BRING THIS INTO CONSIDERATION
While doing what we do, let us always bare in our minds that not every word, which men of God in the pulpits or in social media spaces preach or say, must be brought under the microscope, in order to be scrutinized because, even genuine men and women of God, due to the fact, that because they are human beings, they do get to make mistakes, say things which they would have the need to expound on for clarity, and also have human emotions which once in a while gets displayed publicly. The truth remains, that the ways genuine Apostles and Prophets of God carry out their duties or hear from God, may be somewhat different from how others receive and carry out theirs, yet, the emphasis lies on GENUINE and that is where it is always tricky to know who is who. Nonetheless, the baseline is, that the ways the genuine APOSTLES and PROPHETS of God hear from God, connect with God and carry out their duties for HIM must always align with God’s nature as a Holy and righteous God. Hence, we must always take this fact into consideration when we are putting contents out there, which has been preached or said by anyone, fully aware that there is a huge difference between mistake, missing the mark, and AN EVIL LIFESTYLE, the latter being the one, we are to focus our binoculars on. Hence, it becomes an indication of who that person, either has always been or who they have become – EVIL PERSON, and such by design, should such an individual who has turned to an evil lifestyle as a means of safety is not able to be stirred back to the right course.
Furthermore, if you are neither an Apostle, or a Prophet of God, or someone specifically assigned by God to take on these kinds of evil in the Church; such atrocities, which are being committed by some within her, then, in my humble opinion and from my experiences, of which there are more than enough should I desire the title of the boastful, I would advise the following:
While you do what you do, do not use words of insults against them, although we are sometimes provoked to do so, either by their hidden or public wickedness against us, which sometimes triggers negative emotions within us, thus, could push us to use inappropriate words which would be used to condemn us, as that is the trap they love to set for good people and the children of God. Nonetheless, why this exhortation is important is because if you are dealing with the agents of the spirit of Anti-Christ; charlatans, spiritualist, those who are fetish, idol worshippers, etc., these are those who are in the services of Satan, his devils, demons, idols, and their diverse evil altars. Of a truth, but not meant to scare you, rather to make you understand what you are dealing with – They have satanic powers which they are operating with, and are also able to wield. Consequently, they are under the influence, or in partnership with devils, which means, that they do not work alone, but rather, work and walk around with devils; evil spirits. Therefore, if you are not prayed up, and if God Almighty has not commissioned you to engage them, then, I would advise, that you should go, only as far as exposing the evil things which they do, but don’t go into insulting them or trying to fight them with your human strength or wisdom. If you have to take them to court, then, first bring God into it as they are in all the institutions and help themselves against the innocent, or the children of God, and this remains the truth, even where they do not seem to see eye to eye in the physical realm.
WE LOVE THE FATHERS OF FAITH BUT WE LOVE GOD MORE.
WE must know who we are and whose we are – GOD Almighty’s. We love the Church, and the Godly fathers of the faith. Consequently, who is that very foolish one, who does not love or respect our Godly fathers of faith? Child of God, just tell me and point that very one to me, and watch your sister Susan put them on serious time out – How dare they? Who born goat! NEVERTHELESS, we must confront atrocities where they have become the norm, and where too many people have been bewitched, just like the foolish Galatians were, where they are no longer able to even see it for what it is; atrocities and abominations unto God! We, who are children of God and who are able to tell light from darkness, as well as able to resist darkness by the help and grace of God Almighty, are the light to a spiritually dying people; those whose physical and even spiritual senses have become desensitized or numb to evil. Therefore, we are to try the best we can by God’ grace, help and direction to open their eyes, else, they would neither understand, prophesy or act rightly, nor begin to preach or teach the truth of God without hidden ungodly motives, talk-less of resisting and escaping darkness.
THE DANGER OF ENCOURAGING EVIL
When God Almighty comes to a place to destroy a people for the iniquity of the land in which they dwell, child of God, these are some of the things that happens:
- HE never looks at the faces of those who never genuinely cried out for the evil which they were witnessing.
- He will not save you because you wanted to respect your spiritual father or mother, whose ways are evil, and who are disrespecting God in all their ways – NO, you and them will perish together!
NOTE: Like I have done on multiple occasions before now, in order to appease those whose faith I have come to realize is quite weak, even with this devotional, I am doing the same thing, which I might not continue to do in the future, which is, that I intentionally edited this devotional, removing from it, the names of the two people, whom I had mentioned, and I decided to do this, in order to protect them from certain suspicious entities as I have come to observe, that there are those whose assignment it is, that the moment I mention the name of anyone for something which is positive, then, for no plausible reason, some deeply, but unguided religious, very bitter, angry, demonically zealous, and visibly disturbed people, and from their behaviour, seem to be overtaken by demons, would begin to rant at them, yet, these are the same people, who claim to be able to wrestle down and bind them demons – Child of God, someone better help me make this foolishness make, at least, a little sense!!!
Child of God, you see, I never intended for this devotional to be this long as it is a devotional of appreciation, but it has ended up being what it is. I truly hope to see you children of God someday, it will be such an honor – Nwannem!
God bless you all, children of God – KUDOS my brothers and sisters in the faith; In the good works of, and for God Almighty. Keep safe!
Child of God, as it relates to MONTHLY DEVOTIONALS, till the first of next month, be happy and stay blessed.
Jesus loves you!
Yours Sister – Susan.
