"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me" (John 6:38). Jesus and God are one and the same. Of all the graves that I know, it is only that of Jesus that is empty. Why? Because He is risen. Death could not hold Him. QUESTION: WHAT CAN I DO TO INCREASE MY FAITH ?

QUESTION: CAN THE 'ENEMY' KNOW WHAT IS IN MY MIND ? ANSWER: No. He does not have the power to know what is in your mind or what you are thinking. He could read lips though just as any other person could. Hence Saints speak in tongues to confuse him. QUESTION: MY HUSBAND SPENDS HIS MONEY ON OTHER THINGS AND DOES NOT BRING MONEY HOME. COULD YOUR MINISTRY PRAY THAT HE STARTS KNOWING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES. WE GOT KIDS ? ANSWER:Thank God for your kids, and God will keep providing for your family in Jesus name.

The man with the leprosy turned his situation over to Jesus by asking Him, "Lord if thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean (Luke 5:12-13). By asking, "If Thou wilt," the man with the leprosy handed his sickness over to Jesus. The result? You guessed right. Jesus healed him. QUESTION WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MORE OF GOD'S BLESSINGS?

QUESTION:CAN THE 'ENEMY' BE IN MORE THAN ONE PLACES AT THE SAME TIME ? ANSWER:No, he can not. Only God can. The Book of Job 1:6-7 tells us that the 'enemy' "goes to and fro on the earth" and walks back and forth on it. QUESTION:CAN ONE'S OBJECT OR BELONGING LIKE CLOTH HAVE SOME HEALING POWERS? ANSWER:If the belongings are anointed by god, thy could do wonders like healing, etc. The tip of Jesus's cloth healed the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:21-29). The handkerchief and aprons of Paul had some divine powers (Acts 19:11-12). The dead bones of Elisha revived the dead body (2Kings 13:21). QUESTION: IS FASTING NECESSARY WHEN ASKING GOD FOR SOME THING ?
ANSWER: Fasting quickens prayers. It goes with prayers. The children of Israel always fasted with prayers. Esther asked the children of Israel to fast before she went to the king. Fasting does not go by its self. It must go with prayers. QUESTION: WHAT IS TITHES ? ANSWER: It is a commandment from God. ( Hebrews 7:5). It is a covenant with God. QUESTION: IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TITHES AND OFFERINGS ? ANSWER: Tithes is an instruction from God. The Book of Deuteronomy tells us the blessings that come from paying it. On the other hand, offering is more of a 'seed planting'. Any amount above Tithes 10% is an offering. QUESTION: WHAT IS A COVENANT ? ANSWER:It is an agreement between one or two persons. It is also a promises. God made a covenant with Abram that he will be a father of many nations. His name was therefore changed to Abraham. God made a covenant with the world that He will not destroy it with water again. The latest covenant is through the blood of our Lord Christ on the corss. He says that He will not turn away any one that comes to Him; no matter what the persons condition(s) or sin(s) is. He is the good shepherd. QUESTION: HOW MANY TIMES ARE CHRISTIANS REQUIRED TO PRAY DAILY ? ANSWER: Prayer is the key. It connects us to God. If we want to stay connected to God and be'fully-charged' by the Holy Ghost, we must always pray. Prayers make the impossible to happen. When Paul and Silas were put in prison, they prayed and God set them free (Acts 16: 16-40). QUESTION: IS EVERY PROPHESY FROM GOD ? ANSWER: 2 Corin. 11:12-15 warns us that they are not.ANSWER: IS IT NECESSARY TO MAKE RESTITUTION ? ANSWER:When Abimelech took Abraham's wife, God brought a severe plague on Abimelech's household and instructed him in a dream to return Abraham's wife to him. Abimelech told God that he did it out of ignorance because Abraham told him that she was his sister. Abimelech returned Abraham's wife to him and both him and his household were healed (Gen. 20:1-17). When Jesus visited the house of Zacchaeus, who was a tax collector, he said to Jesus, "Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by falseaccusation, I restore fourfold" (Luke 19:1-8). ANSWER: WHAT IS AN ANOINTING OIL ? ANSWER: The Holy Book tells us, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord . And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raaise him up..." (James 5:14-15).QUESTION: HOW CAN BE CONNECTED TO GOD ? ANSWER: By calling upon Him (Psalm 91:15), by praying unto Him, by seeking Him with ALL of our heart (Jer. 29:12-13). QUESTION IS IT THE PRAYERS, THE WORD OR THE WORK THAT PERFORMS MIRACLES ? ANSWER:It is the presence of the Holy that does the work (Genesis 1:2-3). Every prayer, if well said, should contain the Word of God for it to be effective. Emotions or words do not move God. His Words do. Jesus "cast out evil spirits with His Word" (Matthew 8:16-17). QUESTION: CAN I RECEIVE HEALING BY JUST LOOKING UP AT THE ALTER ? ANSWER: In the Book of Numbers 21:5-9, the children of Israel had to look up to the brazen serpent that was made by Moses, according to God's instructions, in order for them to be healed. God is our Jehovah Rapha. He says that, "I am the Lord that Healeth thee". God has a total of 7 redemptive names. He is ALL-MIGHTY who can use any means that he wishes to heal us. God loves FAITH. It attracts His powers. QUESTION: IS A CONGRIGATIONAL PRAYER MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A PRIVATE PRAYER ? ANSWER: Paul tells us in 2Cor.13:1 that, "In the mouth of TWO or THREE witnesses shall every word be established". One heart is highly required for the word to be established. Act s 2:1-4 tells us that, "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting ....... " The Holy Book tells us that, "And the prayer of FAITH will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up" (James 5:15). We see that faith is required also for it is faith that moves the Holy Spirit. QUESTION: IS IT NECESSARY FOR US TO CONFESS OUR SINS OR ASK FOR FORGIVENESS ? ANSWER:It is necessary for us to confess to people that we hurt and ask them for forgiveness. It is necessary to confess our sins to God. After David slept with Bathsheba and killed her husband by sending him to the hottest side of the battle field to be killed, he confessed his sins to God in Psalm 51:1-19. Pride is not godly. QUESTION: CAN THE 'ENEMY' SPEAK THROUGH SOME ONE ? ANSWER: When Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, 'Satan'......" He was referring to the spirit that was speaking through Peter (Matthew 16:21-23). Jesus knew that Peter was not the 'enemy', Satan. Jesus know that Peter was the stone on which he will build His church. No wonder the 'enemy' went for him; for he is always looking for the head and the best that belongs to God. How ever, God is on our side. QUESTION: HOW DO I MAKE JESUS MY LORD ? ANSWER: He is already your Lord. All you need to do is just accept and confess Him as your Lord and all-in-all. Then ask Him to come and dwell in your spirit. He does not cast away any that comes to Him. He is a loving Father that gave His life for all. QUESTION: HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT IS GOD THAT IS SPEAKING TO ME IN THE SPIRIT ? ANSWER: God's Word does not contradict its self in the Bible. His Word is gentle and not forcefull. Most of the times, He speaks only when we are attentive. QUESTION: SOME OF OUR CULTURE CONFLICTS WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS WHICH ONE DO I FOLLOW ? ANSWER: The Bible is the highest Christian's constitution. Christians respect culture but they put God first. In God we trust. QUESTION: HOW DO I TURN A SITUATION OVER TO GOD ? ANSWER:When king Hezekiah received a 'war letter' from another nation's king, he took the letter in to the temple of God and turned it over to God by spreading it before the Alter of God and praying (2Kings 19:19). God answered his prayers and destroyed the army of the king who sent him the letter. QUESTION:WHY DO GOOD PEOPLE SOME TIMES SUFFER ? ANSWER:Some times, suffering is never caused by one's sins. Job is a good example. He was a good man and yet the "unusual" happened to him. He lost every thing that he had including his family and health. How ever, he did not lost his faith in God. That counts a whole lot. Finally, God restored every thing that he did lost, even to a higher level (Job 42:10). Please read the Book of Job . The enemy, Satan, does not like any thing good or any thing that glorifies God. The Book of Job tells us that Job was perfect, upright, feared God, avoided evil and also made sacrifice offerings for his family for the remission of their sins. This attracted the attention of the enemy. Note that Job was not healed during all the times that he was dwelling in self-righteousness but when he said , "I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes" (Job 42:6).
QUESTION: DID GOD CAUSE JOB'S SICKNESS ? ANSWER: No. He only permitted the enemy to get to Job. The enemy, satan, is the one that causes sickness. Please read Job 2:7, Luke 13:16, Acts 10:38. QUESTION: WHAT IS PROSPERITY ? ANSWER: It is a gift from God for it is He who gives us the power to prosper. The Bood of Deuteronomy 8:18 tells us, "And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth..." Please note that prosperity is not just finances alone. Prosperity could be in the form of good health in the family, mannered children, peace, and so on. QUESTION: WHY DO CHRISTIANS PRAY TO GOD THROUGH JESUS ? ANSWER: The reason is because Jesus is the light (Psalm 27:1). Jesus says that, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). T here is POWER in His blood and name. The Book of Philippians 2:10 tells us, "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth and of those under the earth..."QUESTION: DOES FAITH GO WITH HEALING ? ANSWER: Yes. Faith goes with healing. The woman with the issue of blood was healed by her faith as stated in the Book of Mark 5:21-34. Also, Jesus could not do mighty miracle in His town because they did not have much faith in His works (Mark 6:4-5, Luke 4:24). As a result, His first healing miracle was in Cana. QUESTION: MUST I HUMBLE MY SELF TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE HEALING ? ANSWER: Naaman, the General in the Syrian army, did not received his healing until he humbled him self by putting his title and so on aside then went and dipped him self in the river Jordan 7 times as instructed by the Prophet of God (2Kings 5:1-14). QUESTION: SINCE GOD KNOWS THAT WE ARE ALWAYS GREATFUL TO HIM , IS IT NECESSARY TO GIVE HIM THANKS FOR WHAT HE IS DOING FOR US ? ANSWER: It is necessary to give Him thanks AT ALL TIMES. Psalm 103 gives us reasons why we should give Him thanks. When Jesus healed the ten lepers, only one came back to give Him thanks. Jesus asked where the remaining nine who never came to give Him thanks were (Luke 17:11-19) QUESTION: WHAT IS GRACE ? ANSWER:Grace is the FREE GIFT FROM GOD. The Book of Ephesians 2:8 tells us that, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." QUESTION:WHICH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IS THE GREATEST ? ANSWER:The Holy Book tells us, "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love" (1Corinthians 13:13). Love is the fruit of the spirit (Gal. 5:22) and it covers all sins as stated in Prov. 10:12. This simply means that we forgive people because we love them. QUESTION:IS THERE ANY THING AS SPECIAL PRAYERS ? ANSWER:I do not really understand what you mean by "Special Prayers." A prayer is a prayer and a good prayer should be well intended and also have the Word of God in it. In addition, it must be prayed with faith.
