Practical Ways to Honour Your parents

Your parents deserve honour irrespective of who they are. Your parents may be educated or illiterates, they may be rich or poor. These make no difference.You should respect and honour them simply because they are your parents...

How to Study the Bible Effectively

When you study the bible you are looking at the word of God carefully. This may include making notes of what you are understanding, running a reference check, checking the meaning of words in a dictionary, looking up the root words in Hebrew and Greek dictionary and comparing scriptures among other things.

Living an Outstanding Life

True Christianity is not seen in your going to fellowship or church and neither is it in your singing in the choir. Your true Christian life will be seen in the way you live. You must choose to live different from the people of the world.

When should I study the Bible?

You can read the bible anywhere anytime as the circumstance permits. You may not be able to do so with studying the word of God because studying the bible requires settling down to dig deep into the scriptures to get the understanding of the word of God. You should read your bible daily. You may however have scheduled time for personal bible study.

QUESTION AND ANSWER


QUESTION

Good afternoon sir. Thank you for the truth of the word of God you have been teaching. I am especially blessed by the teachings on speaking in tongues. I am a born again Christian. I accepted Jesus seven years ago. I used to think that something is wrong with speaking in tongues but I now know better. I will love to be able to speak in tongues. What should I do?

ANSWER

I appreciate God that you were blessed by teachings on speaking in tongues. In response to your question, you need to be filled (baptized) with the Holy Spirit before you will be able to speak in other tongue. So what you need to know is how to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that gives the ability to speak in other tongues.

One easy way to get baptized in the Holy Spirit is to have someone who is filled with the Holy Spirit and who knows how to minister the baptism of the Holy Spirit minister to you. By the time you are filled with the Holy Spirit you will be able to pray in tongue because speaking comes with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I will recommend that you should read my comprehensive teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Speaking in Tongues at www.sanmiakintayo.com This will give you a better understanding about the Holy Spirit, Speaking in tongues and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

DRESSING AS BEFITTING FOR A CHILD OF GOD


There has been much discussion on the issues of dressing for Christians. I will present a balanced viewed of what you should look at as standard in dressing as a child of God.

1. Get the purpose. The reason why people go into error many times is because they do things without a clear cut purpose for what they do and at other times they do it for the wrong purpose. You must dress for the right purpose and reason.

2. What constitutes the right purpose in dressing? 1 Cor. 10: 31 “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” 
You should dress with a mind of glorifying God. If you keep this point in mind you will remain on the side of caution in your dressing. A lady whose dressing is revealing part of her breast can’t claim that her dressing glorifies God. 

3. Don’t dress for attention. This one common reason for which many people dress.

4. You should not dress to appear sexy as the unbelievers do. If you do you will be dressing for the wrong reason you will be stimulating lust in people that are watching you.

5. Decency and modesty should be your watchwords. This is probably the number one safety measure you can put in place to remain on the right side in your dressing.

What does decency means? It means behavior or attitude that conforms to the commonly accepted standard of what is right and respectable. You should always ask yourself if your dressing will appear right morally to people and if it present you as a respectable person. If your answer is not in the affirmative then something is wrong with your dressing. Always endeavour to dress in a respectable way. A dressing that is revealing your privacy is not respectable and you should not wear such.

Modesty: 

a. unwilling to draw attention to yourself

b. to be reserved in appearance especially in relation to sexual matters.

c. to be moderate

A modest dressing does not draw attention to you unduly and it is not sexually suggestive 

6. You should avoid clothes that unnecessarily accentuate your body part.

7. As a child of God you should not follow the worldly fashion trend. Satan is the god of this world and fashion is one of his tools for luring Christians into errors.

8. Don’t attempt to copy the dressing of a friend who is not a child of God. This can mislead you. Look at what Romans 12: 2 says “And do not be conformed to this world…” 

Consequences of wrong dressing

1. It gives a negative impression of you to people

2. The respect people have for you wear down if you start dressing indecently.

3. It can damage your Christian reputation.

4. It may hinder you from being an effective witness of the gospel. People want to see the difference between you and them before listening to your message.

5. It can bring you disfavour with people that matters.

QUESTION AND ANSWER


QUESTION
Please, I have a problem. I don’t know what makes me pick small things that belong to others like my roommates. What I pick are usually small things that in most cases I don’t need. I vowed not to do it again several time but I end up doing it again. Please what is wrong with? - C. O

ANSWER

What is happening to you is often caused by demonic activities. It is an uncontrollable desire to pick things especially things that are not needed by you. People with this tendency are referred to as kleptomaniacs. I recommend that you go for deliverance ministration to get free from the grip of this demon. You also need to renew your mind and load your spirit with word of God. Refuse the devil from taking you over again by taking authority over the spirit behind that tendency and declaring that you are free in Jesus name.
