The Man Of Peace

 Who Is The Man Of Sin?

"Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause deceit to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace, he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power" (Daniel 8:25 NIV).

Brethren, I've been wanting to write on this subject for the last few years; however, I was praying while waiting for an answer from the Lord. Also, please consider a few follow-up messages on this subject, as the Lord provides guidance and interpretations.

As we all know, this is not a topic that is interpreted by man; the true meaning of prophetic revelations comes from the Lord (2 Peter 1:20-21). Therefore, a message as important as this will not be based on speculative ideas but on factual truths, guided by the Lord.

In this article, however, be brief. I've searched online about his traits, and we will not be writing about it as it is well-summarized on Google and other search engines. The Lord revealed his identity to me back in 2018 or 2019, and I have since kept it a secret. I only shared it with my family and a dear Brother who is very close to us.

In conclusion, as the Lord pleases, kindly join us in the coming weeks as we unpack the end-time prophetic message to clear confusion while preparing the body for the coming of the KING!

Blessed Regards

Is Cigarette Smoking Sinful?

 Stop Smoking Believers

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV).

Brethren, there is a great deal of confusion amongst Christians regarding cigarette smoking, vaping, or any kind of smoking. Since there are various and conflicting views among Christians on the biblical correctness of this social ill, we pray that this article will bring deliverance and salvation to smokers. 

Being a former smoker myself, I am familiar with the smoke craving, and I have a testimony too on how I received my deliverance from smoking from our Lord Jesus Christ. In this article, I will also share some visions that we previously posted, but for the benefit of our new readers, we will briefly share them again. 

After I recommitted my life to the Lord back in January 2008, I had a personal struggle with cigarette smoking, and this went on for a full two years. During that time, every time I lit up a cigarette, I was guilt-stricken, feeling the conviction of the Holy Spirit (1 Samuel 24:3-7). This led me to pray every time after smoking for my deliverance. If I may mention, I  did not smoke in public for fear of causing others to stumble (Romans 14:13).

Breakthrough From Smoking

During the second week of January 2008, our former pastor announced a one-week fast for the entire congregation, and I seized the opportunity to bring my smoking habit before the Lord. Because I was on a fast, I did not touch a cigarette, and by the third day of fasting, I was delivered from smoking on the 24th of January 2010. On January 25, 2010, the Lord Jesus Christ began visiting us and sharing messages and mighty visions, which we have generously and obediently shared online, and continue to do so. 

Back then, the Lord Jesus told me that He was not very pleased that I was smoking cigarettes and that my body was the temple of God's Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and my smoking was stifling the work of God in my life. In return, I truly thanked Him daily for my deliverance, and to me, it was a huge burden that I was saved from, and what a pleasant relief it was. It's now been 16 years later, and I've regained my health and most of all my relationship with the God of my salvation.

Visions About Smokers 

In the year 2013, a well-known Pastor, Chris Oyakhilome, preached and said that smoking is not a sin because it is not in the Bible, even encouraging smokers to challenge those who insist that smoking is a sin to show scripture. As it was, we were not aware of his message that smoking was not a sin; in fact, we only became aware of it after the Lord gave Charis a message rebuking Pastor Chris for saying that smoking was not a sin. It was then that we listened to some of Pastor Chris's preaching on the topic.

Furthermore, not long thereafter, the Lord gave a message through Charis for her grandmother (my wife's mother) to stop smoking. After giving her a few days to obey the Lord's Word, she continued smoking, which then led the Lord to reveal to Charis in a vision what would happen to her grandmother if she didn't stop smoking.

In the vision from the Lord, He showed her two large and powerful demons holding up a thick and large cigarette to her grandmother's mouth, being forced to smoke the cigarette against her will. She tried pushing it away from her to no avail, given the strength of those demons.

In another vision, the Lord showed Charis my (Brother Glenn) mother's last words before passing away, asking my stepfather not to forget to buy her smokes for the following day. During that experience, Charis recalled that it was as if it were my mother's final wish. Sadly, a few years later, my mother passed away.

This is how it happened: my mother requested my sister and some of my nephews to give her a last cigarette to smoke, and they obliged (against my advice and in my absence), which caused her to cough uncontrollably. Regretfully, the following morning, they reported that my mother became silent after that cigarette, and she never woke up.

In conclusion, a few weeks after my mother's funeral, I (Brother Glenn) had a vision that my mother was in outer darkness (Matthew 8:12). While it uncomfortable to give testimony about our own parents, there is really nothing we can do to undo their situation, the Lord gives this message to save those still have an opportunity to stop smoking, repent and follow the ways of the Lord.

Blessed Peace and Grace to you all

Being Filled With Kindness

 Being Kind Is Pleasing To God

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32 NIV).

Being a Christian without kindness is like a tree that doesn't bear fruit, and we know from the nature of fruit-bearing trees that a fruit tree bears hundreds of fruits each year within its season. We also understand that as the particular fruit tree is being pruned, the better and nutritious the fruits will be.

The Bible emphasizes how we ought to be, rather than being called by lofty titles (2 Peter 1:5-7; Matthew 23:8-12). In our times and often on social media platforms, we find people with exceptional and lofty titles, and that is to draw people and likes to themselves. As it is, even Christians have fallen into this trap. If being a Christian means the pursuit of lofty titles, then being humble has no place in our lives (Romans 12:16).

Furthermore, the Bible calls us ambassadors of Christ (Ephesians 5:20). In other words, God makes His will known through us, and we reflect His kindness and goodness. A few years ago, a very good friend of mine asked me to help him mediate a dispute with someone whom he had sold his house to. Now, before I visit the estate agent and his client, my friend informed me about the treatment and threats he endured from them. 

Kindness From The Heart, Not Through Emotions

Additionally, I learned from my friend that when he vacated the property, he still had a few household items in the garage and that he obtained the permission of the prospective owners, while the property was still in his and his wife's names, and the new owners were subject to paying occupational rent. The prospective owner and the estate agent connived to charge him for storing, not considering that they were supposed to pay him occupational rent.

The Lord Acknowledges Your Fruits

Upon hearing about this unjust act, I prayed for the Lord's guidance, and I went with my friend to mediate. After being introduced to them by my friend, I calmly addressed them, citing from the Scriptures, the prospective owner, being a woman who knew the Lord, reacted to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and admitted her guilt, and this led the estate agent to confess too. However, the conviction was felt only that time, but they never changed their hearts on their actions according to my friend, whom I advised to rather just leave them in the Hands of the Lord.

Now, considering the above, the fruit of kindness should not just be operational when someone mentions or watches over us; instead, the Word of God encourages us to BE KIND, meaning allowing it to flow out of us, touching and changing lives (Luke 8:46).

In conclusion, recently, a sister in our Ministry did an exceptionally good deed which pleased the Lord greatly, and such kindness did not escape His attention; the sister was blessed with very kind Words herself and answers to her prayers. We thus urge you, brethren, not to grow weary in doing good and never assume the LORD is not seeing our labor of love (Hebrews 6:10).

Blessed Grace
