Welcome to mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels! The city set on a hill burning and shinning forth!The city that rules the day and the night: the greater light of the world.(Hebrews 12:22)

Absolutely Unnecesary by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
Absolutely Unnecessary by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10)
There are Christians who love to testify.” Oh, we’re just suffering for the Lord. “thinking they are being humble. I have said it many times before and I don’t mind saying it again: God takes no pleasure in your suffering. There’s no joy in pain, cancer, tuberculosis or paralysis. You may cry, “Please, Lord do something!” but God will only say, “I ‘ve already done everything I needed to do.” Jesus paid the price for your health, peace and prosperity. He died to make you strong and righteous; He didn’t leave anything out (Isaiah 53:4-5). Therefore your suffering is absolutely unnecessary!
You must understand that the devil will continue to oppress you until you say no to him. He’ll not leave by negotiation. You must forcibly kick him out of your body. Never forget that the devil doesn’t play fair; that’s why Jesus said, “Cast out devils.”
There’s no sickness you’re suffering today that you’re supposed to suffer. There’s no disease in your life today that you’re supposed to have. “What if I sinned?” you asked. Well, the Bible says, “..And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John2: 1-2). I n other words, you can receive forgiveness from Christ. So you see, you don’t have to walk in sickness or disease or infirmity because you sinned. It’s absolutely unnecessary!
The word of God is the power of God to heal and save. That power will destroy every disease. It will destroy cancer, tumor and every growth. It will also cleanse your blood. Man’s sympathy wouldn’t do you and good. Salvation describes the totality of what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. It’s freedom made available made without charge.

The Love of God
I just had to share this chapter of 1 John 3, where he shows and tells us the love of God towards us whom are His..... I pray that you will receive revelation and walk in the light of God’s word as the Holy Spirit ministers to you.
1 John 3
1SEE WHAT [[a]an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.
2Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [[b]as God's children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him [c]just as He [really] is.
3And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).
4Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God's law by transgression or neglect--being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will).
5You know that He appeared in visible form and became Man to take away [upon Himself] sins, and in Him there is no sin [[d]essentially and forever].
6No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains [e]in communion with and in obedience to Him--deliberately, knowingly, and [f]habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him].
7[g]Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous.
8[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
9No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and [h]habitually] practices sin, for God's nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.
10By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God's will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow [i]believer in Christ).
11For this is the message (the announcement) which you have heard from the first, that we should love one another,
12[And] not be like Cain who [took his nature and got his motivation] from the evil one and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his deeds (activities, works) were wicked and malicious and his brother's were righteous (virtuous).
13Do not be surprised and wonder, brethren, that the world detests and pursues you with hatred.
14We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians). He who does not love abides (remains, is [j]held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death.
15Anyone who hates (abominates, detests) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding ([k]persevering) within him.
16By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [[l]in Him].
17But if anyone has this world's goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and [m]fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?
18Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity).
19By this we shall come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we are of the Truth, and can reassure (quiet, conciliate, and pacify) our hearts in His presence,
20Whenever our hearts in [[n]tormenting] self-accusation make us feel guilty and condemn us. [For [o]we are in God's hands.] For He is above and greater than our consciences (our hearts), and He knows (perceives and understands) everything [nothing is hidden from Him].
21And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts) do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us], we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God,
22And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [[p]watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [[q]habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.
23And this is His order (His command, His injunction): that we should believe in (put our faith and trust in and adhere to and rely on) the name of His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and that we should love one another, just as He has commanded us.
24All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [[r] They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.
