Secret Unraveled! It will Change your life, It changed mine.





Greetings everyone,
Has anyone read the story of the man who was sick for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda in John 5:2-7 (KJV), "Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches. - in these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered waiting for the moving of the water. - For an Angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water, whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had. - And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. - When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case. He says to him, 'Will you be made whole?'. - The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled to put me into the pool: but while I am coming another steps down before me".

God is a respecter of no man, if not, He would have said okay because this sick man doesn't have someone to pull him in, so let the Angel go first and heal him before stirring up the pool. The sick man couldn't be the first but he was probably the 2nd, 10th, 20th, 50th, or even more and so he lived with the sickness for 38 years, and would have lived with it for life, if Jesus had not come his way. Now there were so many during the time of Jesus on earth that did not get healed, you cannot tell me that every sick person on earth when Jesus came, got healed?, So many never got healed because Jesus never came towards their way or they were too sick to walk to where Jesus was and there was no one to carry them there, and so they remained that way for life. 

Would you say that God is unfair? NEVER, by the way He is the one who sent the Angel off, to stir up the pool, and what was His purpose for that, so that multitudes could be liberated from their afflictions, but as usual there is always something to be done to achieve the manifestations of God's purposes for your life. God is not unjust He would never give you a task He knows you cannot carry. the man for example said each time He tries to go in some people go in first into the pool. what do you think he is expected to do?, In my opinion, he would have just remained in the pool and wait for the Angel to come whenever the Angel comes even if the water is getting to his head, all he should care about is the fact that once the Angel comes He would be set free from his long time 38 years ordeal, He should only set his eyes on his freedom and then endure whatever. Now that is an escape right there for him, but he never saw that. probably because he felt his sickness was just his portion and his inheritance, maybe he felt his condition was just how he should be, and so there is nothing he could do but to just live with it. That is a lie from the pit of hell.

Until you begin to see that you are responsible for every outcome of your life, you won't take steps to change it. Some people have challenges and they just relax with it, believing that, that is just their portion on earth. In their hearts, they've ruled out any possible chance of them coming out of that challenge. they might even be seeing it as how God created them and wanted them to be. God is not Unrighteous, God will NEVER be unrighteous. see James 1:13, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil neither tempt He any man" and Romans 9:14, "what shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid".

Same Word of God that said in Proverb 3:27-28, "withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it. - say not to your neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you". why do you think God doesn't want you out of that challenge NOW, if His Words says we shouldn't tell others to come tomorrow if we can help them now, so why would you even think God will tell you to wait till tomorrow, since you know He has your miracle now? or perhaps you think God does not have your miracle at hand now. God tempts no man with evil.

Take responsibility, there is what you must do to come out of that ordeal like that sick man at the pool of Bethesda, there was a way out for him but he never saw it. some people even see the way out but they would rather die than go through that way, why? because the devil has created all kinds of ill and negative pictures in them, so they can avoid that way out. for example lets say the same sick man might have actually thought of staying inside the pool until the Angel comes to stir up the water and meets him there, but then the devil will bring up pictures of how he would just drown and die while waiting, or the devil might just tell him some deadly things inside the pool (the same pool that multitude dive into to be liberated) will kill him, or maybe the devil will tell him the pool is too cold and he was going to die, if he remains inside the pool. devil is so skillful with lies, no one can beat him at that, that is his specialty, we all, have to beware of the devil.

But let me say this, what makes you think that the Angel might not arrive a minute after he remains in that pool, what makes you think that he would stay in the pool more than 5 minutes before the Angel comes, the Angel could come that moment, you know? or maybe 10 minutes later, 15 minutes later, etc or even before the water looks as if it would drown him, whatever happens it is certain that the Angel must come and he must be the first since he is already in the water, but the devil WILL NEVER LET HIM SEE IT FROM THAT SIDE, it is only violent faith in God that can break through the devil's lies and help him take the bold step. but let me ask us, do you think God will see such violent faith and not do something immediately?, I'm telling you, He would even send the Angel quickly to stir up that pool that moment. As a matter of fact, God won't even mind coming down Himself to stir up the water, simply because He has found violent faith, remember the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel 3, it was their violent faith that made God send an Angel quickly to the fiery furnace waiting for them thereby turning the fiery furnace to an air conditioned room for them, they needed not to pray for that, they simply applied violent faith. you must go out of your comfort zone and make that strong move of faith, all God needs you to do is to make the first step believing your breakthrough and your case would be settled. I see God settling your case in Jesus name, Amen.

God is not happy when His children are suffering, He is angry with any issue of long continuance. See 1 Peter 5:10, "But the God of all Grace, who has called us to His eternal Glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you". God wants you to be free even more than you want yourself to be that situation of yours has long overstayed a while, it time for it to go. okay let me ask you this question, if you are the giver of children and your daughter needs a child, when would you give her a child?, again if you are the creator of eyes and they tell you that your son needs an eye, when would you want him to get that eye?, ok, if you are the Owner of the wealth and you are the one who gives power to make wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) and they tell you that your children are dying of poverty and you are not a wicked parent, please what would you do? won't you immediately rush to them and give them exceedingly abundantly such that they would never lack again?? or wait a minute, if you are the one who gives the power for Godliness and holiness and they tell you that your own child is struggling to live right, please when would you want you child to have the power?, see 2 Peter 1:3, "According to His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to Glory and virtue". yes, He gives the power to be holy and live right, or you think it is by our might or power? Zechariah 4:6b, "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of host" 

Let me ask again, as a child of God, why do you think God wants you to be free from that challenge tomorrow or next week or next year or even in years to come? why do you think God wants you to live with that sin?
some people have already strategized in their minds that their help cannot come this year. My Dear that's not fair to yourself. Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith, it is impossible to please God: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him".

Now, you have to start asking God to show you that way out, He's merciful and kind, He will show you, remember, "you have not because you ask not" (James 4:2b), and don't just ask for the way out, also ask Him for the grace to follow the way, because like the Word of God said, it is not by might or by power but by the Spirit of God (Zechariah 4:6b). Ask Him to help your unbelief like the Father of that man with a dumb spirit that makes him foam, gnash his teeth and pine away, in Mark 9:17-24. He will, He even wants you out of that ordeal more than you do. ask God for the Spirit of Obedience to every Word that He commands you, not just obeying God but doing it promptly, the devil can make the truth appear false to you if you let him and then you see yourself arguing against the truth. it is called a blindfold, See 2 Corinthians 4:4, "In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, shine on them, please don't let him blindfold you, you have to be the first to enter the river before you can be set free. even if you are the second person, you wont get anything. ask God for the Spirit of revelation so that you can be illuminated more and more through His Word. You and I know that the more brighter your light, the more clearer you see, there is no end to the illumination via the Word of God, there are unending stages, and the more clearer you see, the greater you achieve with speed, because you see clearly how the road is, so you fire on with speed and move higher.

Right now, you can see that there are so many things to ask God for, other than just asking for bread and butter and every other common need, go beyond asking for physical food, start asking Him for Spiritual food, because my dear, as a child of God, it is expected that you grow always in the Spirit. it is expected that you change class and move to a higher class. okay, let me ask you, how would you feel if you have a child and he has been in class 1 since 2009?, how would you feel if your child has stayed in a particular class for 2 years or more?, don't you expect your child to keep changing classes and keep moving to higher classes? yes, you love him, he is still your child but if there is a gift, you would first of all, give the one that is progressing and moving higher in class than the one that has remained in a class for long, no matter the age difference. that is the same way God expects us to keep changing to higher classes Spiritually, like I said in the previous post, some people have been around God for so many years yet they are still on the same level, they are still taking milk while others who just started hanging around God not quite long are now consuming strong meat, See Hebrews 5:12, "For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat". See also Paul's words to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 3:2, "I have fed you with milk and not with meat: for before you were not able to hear it, neither yet now are you able". where you stop is the limit your hands can reach.

A primary school student cannot graduate with a senior class certificate, a class 5 student cannot graduate with a Bachelors' degree, an undergraduate student cannot receive a graduate (Masters) certificate while graduating, even a graduate student won't be graduating with a Doctoral Certificate, your class determines what you can be able to graduate with, so I ask, what class are you in? if you want a Senior class certificate, move to the senior class, if you want a Bachelors' degree, become an undergraduate, if you want a Masters' Certificate, then you must be a graduate student in graduate class, and so on. Always remember that it is the Spiritual that controls the physical. Not paying attention to the Spiritual, limits what you can achieve in the physical. many people miss out on this. Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". What we wrestle against, is spiritual, you can never fight it physically, that is why your Spirit man must be mature enough to fight it. Many people miss out on this truth, they just concentrate so much on, for example, "today I will not masturbate" and then they try so hard to flee from masturbation that day and before you know it they are deep down in it, even if they skip it that day, the next day they are swimming in that sin again and even deeper this time, this is simply because their Spiritual mind has not really been built up to fight that urge so no matter what they do they still end up there. take for instance power generators are in sizes, you can't use the small power generator to light up a duplex and all the utilities in it. it will just go off before you even see the light. the same way it is with us. there are different sizes of power generator for generating different power output. if you want a great power output, you go for a great power generator with great capacity. which do you want? 

Please you need to know this, so you don't keep fighting sin and loosing. it is not that you enjoy it but you just keep seeing yourself in it. it's not your fault, it is the flesh at work. Paul speaking in Romans 7:15, "For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I".

you must build up your Spiritual life if you must win the fight. ask the Lord for the Spirit of Holiness, Spirit of the fear of the Lord, coveting earnestly as seen in 1 Corinthians 12:31. Sin is one major factor that keeps a believer on the same class Spiritually and once your Spiritual life cannot grow, then your physical life is inhibited. like every father would want his child to change to higher classes, God also wants us to keep changing to higher classes. don't just read and do nothing! I strive so hard to make sure that my mind is always feeding on the Word of God, because nature abhors vacuum, once there is no light, darkness takes over, Ephesians 4:27 says, "Neither give place to the devil" and you know there is no end to the creepy things that can be done in darkness.

The Word of God is light (John 1:1-5), no wonder the Lord said in Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make you way prosperous, and then you shall have good success". no wonder! don't say you don't have time, what you love you have time for. Start by asking the Lord to give you a heart for Him, express your desire to love Him, ask Him for the grace, calm down and talk to Him like a friend remember He knows all your weaknesses. Most times, Christians make the mistake of thinking that they can love God by their power or might, and before they know it, they no longer believe anymore in the mysteries of the Kingdom, they become like pagans. "So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy", (Romans 9:16). it is not by our might or power.

I want to believe this revelation has illuminated your life right now in one way or the other, now run with it, don't let it calm down, don't let the pool calm down, dive into it, don't delay, delayed obedience equals disobedience in the eyes of God. don't come in at second place. In whatever way you have been lighted, start NOW to put it to work or it will fade out and the opportunity would be lost, don't say tomorrow, don't say later, people that procrastinate don't achieve any reward, please dive into it, start now in prayers and ask the Lord for whatever gift of the Spirit you desire, remember the Bible said in 1 Corinthians 12:31, "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way". you have to covet it.

Covet means to yearn to possess or have something, craving and taking it by force, the Gifts of the Spirit won't just come on its own, there must be a craving for it. Please don't let this Word, fall, don't let the light that just illuminated you now, fade, don't be the second at the pool. I pray that God gives everyone the grace to dive into this light and make the best out of it. Covet and see how your life will turn around, see how you would be above that sin that has held you captive for long, I immediately warred with the light I got some years back through the preaching of My prophet, Bishop David Oyedepo, and I can tell you that my life has never remained the same ever since. I see you changing classes Spiritually, I see you even jumping classes in the Spiritual realm, I see you getting double promotion now in Jesus name, AMEN. Once the matters of the Kingdom of God takes over your heart, the devil leaves you alone. Like I said before, nature abhors vacuum. you are either lighted or darkness starts creeping in and overtakes you. it is now up to you. Take responsibility and save your head and that of your generation. YOU ARE BLESSED.

Now first things first, John 1:4-5 says, "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men, - And the light shines in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not" JESUS IS THE LIGHT, if you have not received Christ, you cannot be lighted and you have not been saved, if you are not saved, you are not safe, if you are not sure, then you are not saved. if you would like to give your life to Christ or maybe you fell off at some point and you would like to return back and reconnect with God, say this prayer and mean it,"Lord Jesus, I come to You today, I accept that I am a sinner and I confess my sins and repent from them. I believe that You died on the cross of Calvary for my sins. Thank You for forgiving me. today I am saved, I am born again. thank You Jesus". if you said this prayer congratulations, you are now a child of God, begin now to war with this light you have received now DO NOT LET IT FADE, Covet earnestly the gift of the Spirit you desire that can improve your Spiritual life and move you up in Spiritual classes. you are now a new creature, Bible says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold, all things are become new (2 Cor 5:17). Be Blessed.
