FIAT JUSTITIA

Doth God pervert judgement? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice? (Job 8v3) Nay, touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power, and in judgement, and in plenty of Justice: He will not afflict. (Job 37v23). For the LORD is a God of judgment (Elohei mishpat- the God of Justice): blessed are all they that wait for Him (Isaiah 30v18). His justice and mercy are seen most vividly in the cross of Christ.

‘Fiat’ is a latin word meaning ‘let it be done’; It basically refers to an order or decree by the court relating to routine matters. The term ‘Fiat justitia’ simply means ‘Let Justice be done’ It is no mean fact that to do Justice and Judgement is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. (Prov.21v3). Justice is s fundamental nature of God – He shows no respect of persons, no partiality, He is a just God and a Saviour whose judgement is just (John5v30) Do you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgement and justice? ‘Fiat Justitia’ – ‘Do justice’– rectify it, for thus saith the LORD in Isaiah 56:1, ‘Keep ye judgement, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.’ 

Now the Cambridge dictionary defines justice basically as fairness in the way people are dealt with, with synonyms like equity and impartiality. Justice also refers to the system of laws in a country that judges and punishes people. Justice is a quality, a principle or ideal of being just, impartial, or fair; just dealing or right action, and Conformity to – this principle or ideal (Righteousness), the Law, and to truth, fact, or reason (Correctness). Merriam-Webster explains Justice as the administration of law especially the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity. Thus, we are to maintain and administer what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments.

The Black’s law dictionary, similarly, outlines Justice as the fair treatment of people, the quality of being fair or reasonable; the fair and proper administration of laws and the legal system by which people and their causes are judged; esp. the system used to punish people who have committed crimes. The great Roman jurist Ulpian famously defined justice as ‘To live honourably, not to harm your neighbour, to give every one his due.’ ‘Honeste vivere, alterum non laeere, suum cuique tribuere.’ Justice is thus identical with the ethics of who should receive benefits and burdens. (Sanowski, 2005).

‘Fiat justitia’ culled from the Crown’s commission to the House of Lords to hear an appeal -the maxim “Fiat Justitia, ruat coelum” gives the extent to which we should go in pursuance of Justice. It translates thus as ‘Go heaven to wreck – so Justice be but done, and what is the ruin of kingdoms in comparison of the wreck of heaven?’ (J. Bentham, 1823). It is trite knowledge the national motto of Ghana: Freedom and Justice, representing the fundamental human rights of all men and women, boy and girl on this plane. What have you done in pursuing, administering and ensuring justice, fairness and the right thing is done? Are you guilty of this charge in Isaiah 59:4— ‘None calleth for justice, nor does any plead for truth.’ Do you trust in vanity, and speak lies, conceiving mischief (evil) and bringing forth vanity? Is there any justice in your way, in the way you treat others, as you are in a position of power?

He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6v8). How do you do this? Fiat justitia, ruat caelum. Defend the poor and the fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and the needy. (Psalm 82v3), even though the heavens come down.

King David’s administration shows us that doing judgement and Justice brings establishment. (2 Sam 8v15, 2 Chron. 9v8). As this penultimate month of 2025 breaks, being made kings and priests unto God our Father, may we do justly, according to His ancient royal word. Because justice and judgement (righteousness) are the habitation or foundation of his throne: mercy and truth shall go before his face. (Psalm 89v14). Amos 5v15 exhorts us to hate evil, love good; establish justice in the gate, that the Lord may be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Fiat justitia in the boardrooms and bedrooms, from the classrooms, school campuses and consulting rooms, let justice be done. In the governmental chambers to the prison cells let justice flow. From Chiefs’ palaces to administrative offices, from market squares to the kitchens, across counters and cabinets let justice flow. Treat your workers and helpers right. Let integrity and truth prevail among directors, bosses, supervisors and staff. Let it run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Amos 5v24). Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr echoed this in 1963, as do we now, in this artificial intelligence driven 2025 dispensation for posterity, emphasizing fairness, respect for human dignity, and right treatment of our neighbours. #StopGalamseyNow!

Fiat justitia, ruat caelum. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. Let there be corrective justice and distributive justice, as distinguished by Aristotle. Let us have maximum liberty, equality for all and zero inequality as argued by John Rawls in his theory of Justice. And in this pursuit, let justice not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done per the dictum of Lord Hewart CJ (R v Sussex Justices), as opined by Lord Atkin in the landmark case of Shrager v Basil Dighton (1923). ‘For where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where belief of oppression exists (turning justice to wormwood –Amos5v7) …neither persons nor property will be safe.’ (Frederick Douglass, famous abolitionist, statesman, 1818-1895).

God will reveal our justice clearly as the noonday, and our righteousness will go forth as brightness (Ps37v6, Isa.62v1) for He says in Isa 61:8 ‘I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth…’The Lord of the Sabbath came to declare Justice to the Gentiles (Matt.12v18). Forever, O Lord thy word is settled in heaven. (Psalm 119v89). Heaven and earth will pass away, but the words of the God of Justice will by no means pass away. (Matthew 24v35). Thus, let justice be done, though the heavens fall. Fiat justitia, ruat caelum!

The Power of Gratitude

When you lack understanding of the why, you become a disaster waiting to happen. It may not show immediately, but in time, the absence of revelation will catch up with you. Many people receive blessings, healing, promotion, or breakthrough without understanding the purpose behind it—and so they lose what they once celebrated. Gratitude is not just about saying thank you; it’s about understanding why you are where you are and remembering Who brought you there.

In Luke 17:17–19, ten lepers cried out to Jesus for mercy. All ten were healed, but only one—just one—returned to give thanks. And to that one, Jesus said, “Arise, go your way; your faith has made you whole.”

There’s a profound difference between being healed and being made whole.

Healing removes the symptoms of an affliction; wholeness restores everything that was broken—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and even relationally. You can be healed today and fall sick again tomorrow, but when you are made whole, you enter a new state of divine completeness that prevents future affliction.

Wholeness, however, is reserved for the grateful.

You are never qualified for more until you are thankful for what you have already received. Heaven’s system doesn’t reward entitlement; it rewards remembrance. Gratitude, in the biblical sense, means remembering where you came from and acknowledging that you are not self-made.

1 Corinthians 4:7 asks pointedly, “What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?”

Gratitude keeps pride at bay and keeps your heart soft before God. Pride says, “I earned this.” Gratitude says, “I was helped.”

That’s why James 4:6 reminds us that “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Gratitude and humility walk hand in hand; one cannot exist without the other. Gratitude is humility expressed, and humility ensures longevity. The proud rise fast but fall faster; the grateful may rise slower, but they remain established.

In Numbers 20:12, Moses lost the privilege of entering the Promised Land—not because he didn’t serve God faithfully, but because he disobeyed out of frustration. His heart lost sight of the why. When gratitude wanes, obedience falters, and frustration takes over.

Gratitude keeps you aligned with God’s perspective. It helps you remember that your life, your success, and even your anointing are not your own. As Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”

When you understand that truth, you stop taking ownership of what belongs to God and start stewarding it with reverence and thanksgiving.

Some people are stuck not because God hasn’t opened new doors, but because they are still living in the past—past glory or past pain. You cannot embrace a new season while clutching the remnants of the old one. Gratitude gives you perspective; it helps you see even your painful seasons as classrooms, not prisons.

Philippians 3:10 speaks of knowing Christ and “the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.” Gratitude transforms suffering into a lesson rather than a life sentence.

Let go of what was, so you can embrace what is to come. Your past may have shaped you, but it does not define you. Don’t let it impeach your future.

Everything we are, everything we have, and everything we hope to be is by the mercy of God. Romans 9:16 says, “It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”

Gratitude shifts the spotlight back to God, reminding us that no matter how gifted, skilled, or hardworking we are, it is the Lord who gives increase. As Isaiah 42:8 declares, “I am the Lord; that is My name; My glory I will not give to another.”

To live with gratitude is to live with awareness—awareness that every breath is grace, every opportunity is mercy, and every blessing is stewardship.

When gratitude becomes your posture, wholeness becomes your reality. You begin to see life through the lens of grace rather than entitlement. You stop complaining about what’s missing and start celebrating what’s been given. You stop looking backward in regret and start looking upward in faith.

Gratitude is not just a reaction to what God has done; it is preparation for what He will do next.

So pause today. Reflect. Remember where you started, who sustained you, and how far He’s brought you. And then say, with a full heart,

“Thank You, Lord.”

With Love, Esinam.

The Rebellion, Fall and Return

It began with a whisper in the garden.

A question—subtle, sharp, and coated with deceit.

“Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1)

Eve paused. The serpent’s words slithered into her heart, planting doubt where trust once grew. Adam stood close by, silent. In that brief, tragic moment, the story of humanity shifted forever.

She reached out. She took the fruit. She ate. He followed.

Suddenly, something sacred was lost.

“Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked…” (Genesis 3:7)

Shame entered the world.

The man and woman who once walked freely with God now hid among the trees they were meant to tend. The sound of His footsteps, once comforting, now stirred fear.

“Adam, where are you?” (Genesis 3:9)

It wasn’t just a question of location—it was the cry of a broken relationship.

Sin had entered, and with it came guilt, separation, and death (Romans 6:23). The perfect harmony between heaven and earth fractured. The ground was cursed. Work became toil. Childbirth became pain. The gates of Eden closed behind flaming swords.

Paul would later write,

“By one man, sin entered into the world, and death by sin…” (Romans 5:12)

What was once a garden of glory became a world of grief.

God’s Plan for Reconciliation — Love’s Pursuit

Humanity’s identity, blessings, and generations were broken because the relationship was broken.

But even as the curse echoed through creation, God’s love refused to let go.

He already had a plan.

A promise whispered through the ages — that one day, a Seed would crush the serpent’s head.

Centuries later, that promise took on flesh.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” (John 3:16)

Love came walking again — not in a garden this time, but on dusty roads, reaching out to the broken and the bound.

Through Jesus Christ, God extended His hand once more to humanity.

“God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself…” (2 Corinthians 5:19)

He didn’t wait for man to find Him. God came running toward us.

And now, every believer carries that same ministry — to tell the world that reconciliation is possible again.

Partakers of the Promise

The blessing that started with Abraham wasn’t meant for one man; it pointed to one Seed — Christ Himself.

“Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made… and to thy Seed, which is Christ.” (Galatians 3:16)

And now, through faith in Jesus, we are included in that covenant line.

“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:29)

That means you are not only forgiven — you are blessed.

Ephesians 1:3 declares that we’ve been “blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”

Righteousness, peace, joy, favor — all flow from restored relationship.

As one preacher said:

“The Son of God became the son of man, so the sons of men could become the sons of God.”

Walking in Generational Blessings

Why must you walk in generational blessings?

Because it’s your divine birthright.

“Christ redeemed us… that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles.” (Galatians 3:13–14)

Through Christ, you’ve been given a new identity:

“I have been crucified with Christ… and now Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20)

You are no longer a product of your past — you are a reflection of His masterpiece.

“For we are God’s masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:10)

The world is waiting for you to live in this truth.

“The earnest expectation of creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19)

When you walk in your divine identity, you release heaven’s solutions into the earth.

You become a channel through which God’s light shines into dark places.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1)

Reconnect to the Source

You were never meant to live disconnected.

From Eden to Calvary, God’s desire has always been relationship.

Blessings flow when connection is restored.

And when you walk in obedience, you don’t just walk for yourself — you walk for your children, and for generations yet to come.

“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He keeps covenant and mercy with those who love Him to a thousand generations.” (Deuteronomy 7:9)

So draw near again.

Rebuild the relationship.

Because the moment you reconnect to the Source, the flow of blessing begins anew — and this time, it won’t just bless you, it will bless generations.

Blessings!

Rev. Ron Chiarelli

Generational Blessings

It all began in a garden.

A vast, radiant expanse called Eden — the meeting point between heaven and earth — where God Himself stooped low and formed man from the dust. Then, with divine tenderness, He breathed into him the breath of life.

The very first words spoken over humanity were not commands or corrections — they were blessings.

“And God blessed them…” (Genesis 1:28)

This was no ordinary blessing; it was a declaration of identity. God designed humanity for intimacy with Him, for dominion over the earth, and for generational fruitfulness. Blessing was not an afterthought; it was embedded in the original blueprint of creation.

The Vertical and Horizontal Bond

Imagine Adam, surrounded by beauty, walking daily in open fellowship with God — no barriers, no shame, no fear. Yet even in this perfection, God looked and said,

“It is not good that man should be alone.” (Genesis 2:18)

So from Adam’s own side, God crafted Eve — a perfect reflection of partnership.

Now, relationship existed not just vertically (between God and man), but horizontally (between man and woman).

In this divine order, Eden flourished. Everything around them — the trees, the rivers, the animals — mirrored the peace of their relationships. The garden wasn’t just a home; it was the atmosphere of blessing birthed from relationship.

The Benefits of Relationship with God

1. Divine Covering: The Glory of God

In those early days, Adam and Eve stood naked and unashamed.

“They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” (Genesis 2:25)

No guilt. No insecurity. Just radiant transparency covered by God’s glory.

The psalmist later wrote,

“You have crowned him with glory and honor.” (Psalm 8:5)

God’s glory wasn’t just around them — it was their covering.

2. Divine Purpose and Provision

Eden was not a place of survival; it was a place of abundance.

God placed Adam in the garden to tend and to keep it (Genesis 2:15–16). His work was purpose-filled, and his needs were already supplied.

Centuries later, Paul would echo the same truth:

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory.” (Philippians 4:19)

God’s presence and provision have always been inseparable.

3. Friendship with God

Then comes one of the most tender scenes in Scripture:

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…” (Genesis 3:8)

Can you picture it? The Creator of the universe walking side by side with His creation. Not as a distant ruler, but as a friend. The “cool of the day” suggests a peaceful rhythm of communion — a daily fellowship.

But one day, that rhythm was broken. Sin crept in, and Adam hid. Fellowship fractured.

God still called out, “Where are you?” — not because He didn’t know, but because He longed for restoration.

The principle remains true:

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3)

From Abraham, who was called “a friend of God” (James 2:23), to Jesus calling His disciples friends (John 15:15), the story of Scripture is the story of a God seeking friendship with humanity.

And His invitation still stands:

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” (James 4:8)

4. Generational Blessings Through Covenant Relationship

Throughout Scripture, one truth repeats like a drumbeat: those who walk with God secure blessings that outlive them.

• God blessed Adam and Eve — “Be fruitful and multiply.” (Genesis 1:28)

• God blessed Noah and his sons — “Be fruitful and fill the earth.” (Genesis 9:1)

• God blessed Abraham — “In you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3)

• God blessed Isaac — reaffirming His covenant (Genesis 26:2–5).

• God blessed Jacob — extending the promise (Genesis 28:13–15; 35:12).

• God blessed Joseph — whose obedience preserved nations.

Each of them walked before God in obedience. Relationship was the thread that linked their stories — and the key that unlocked generational blessings.

From Eden to Abraham, from Adam’s first breath to the covenant of Christ, one truth remains:

Generational blessings are not secured by striving, but by relationship.

When we walk with God — in friendship, in obedience, in love — we don’t just receive blessings for ourselves; we plant seeds for generations yet unborn.

Blessings!

You are a Threat to Satan (6)

Another sign that shows that you are a threat to the kingdom of the devil is that you easily influence people. This simply means that the mantle of leadership is upon you anywhere you go. These places could be in your immediate environment, family, school, place of work, and even in church. You’re always singled out to lead. I remember, wheh I was in school, anytime, we had to choose a class prefect, almost everyone in the class mentioned my name. The more I tried running away from that leadership mantle, the more I was chosen in my subsequent classes. With time, I noticed that people always gather around me for counsel. Have you ever had this experience in your life?In some families, sometimes, God intentionally put this leadership mantle on a woman and not a man like he did in the case of Deborah who was ordained as a prophetess and a judge as evidenced in Judges 4:4-5: Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. Can you imagine, a woman was not only a wife but also someone who was God’s mouthpiece, and in addition to that, she settled disputes? In other words, she was called ” My Lord or my Lady,” as judges are called. Men and women submitted to her authority. In the realm of the spirit, there’s no difference between man and woman. I know of a lady in a family who almost decides on everything peacefully and lovingly in her family even though she was still jobless. Her parents and working siblings themselves admitted she the youngest one is their leader. The devil doesn’t play with such people. He will come for them, but remember he will not succeed. If you can mobilize people and put an idea in their heads and they believe in it and follow you, you are dangerous, especially as a Christian. Even if you are not a Christian, you become a threat because if the devil can get you, this means he will get everyone under you. Sometimes, when the enemy recognizes that leadership mantle on you, what he does is that, he decides to frustrate you or attack those who are close to you ( your family or people directly connected to you). He sometimes can make your children go wayward so that naysayers can question your God or discredit your ministry or you yourself. When this happens, we are to use wisdom and pray for them and not criticize them. Why don’t people who are in the world or who are not leaders go through such an ordeal but rather figure heads? Do you have the answer now?

Matthew 4: 19- 20 reads, ” Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people. At once, they left their nets and followed him.” This is powerful.  It’s a mark of leadership. Have you noticed that, when it comes to winning souls, ushering people, or convincing people to buy a product, you are just good at it? You effortless and people buy into your ideas or follow you. It’s a unique grace that leaders have. You don’t struggle to capture the attention of men for the glory of Jesus. You are a leader and a threat to Satan. Do you know even in our families, some people don’t attend family meetings because  of disagreement? But you and I may not know a pastor, a leader in any other sphere but still decide to follow them and be loyal to their course? Why? They are leaders and God made it so. Even if a man of God has two committed members in his church, he’s a massive threat. Why do you think such people are committed to him? Is he the only pastor or leader? Aren’t there bigger or more flamboyant ministries around where such few members can go and have a better live? Certainly, there are but they choose to be with a leader who may not have anything good to offer them at the preliminary stages of his ministry. But God will prove His faithfulness in the lives of such leaders to shame the devil. Don’t mind those who insult, and tarnish your image or spread lies on you and your ministry, business or project. They will start their nonsense, but it will come to an end for He who called you is faithful. 

What then must you do?. Go get books on leadership. Buy them and study around your grace. Are you called as a businessman? Get books around that field. Are you a counselor? Get books on counseling. “Study to show yourself approved” and attend seminars on leadership and put into practice whatever you learn. And ask God to multiply your grace in prayer.

For some, whenever they speak, there’s an unusual wisdom that comes out from their mouth that they didn’t think about or not planned. These people may not personally be aware of this special leadership grace upon their lives. People end up coming to them for advice and also say they’re a man/ woman of advice. Luke 21:15 “For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. There was this brother in our church who had this special grace. Anytime he spoke at meetings and gave suggestions or shared his views on pertinent issues confronting the church, I could discern the source of his ideas were not earthly but divine, trust me. I fell in love with him because the guy could speak on any issue, and you would be convinced he spoke well, and if you take his words, you wouldn’t regret it.

Don’t become proud when you notice this leadership grace on your life. Be humble for God lifts the humble and debases the proud. The more you remain humble the more God will increase you like he did to Joseph and everyone including unbelievable will know God has anointed your lips to speak his wisdom. That’s why Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?” – Genesis 41:38.   Learn to talk when necessary and keep secrets.

Because you are a discreet person, I see you speaking to kings addressing nobles and counseling the great in life and society. May your tongue be losed like the way God did it for Apostle Arome Osayi who was a stammerer before the Lord lifted him.

Shalom.

You are a Threat to Satan (5)

Let’s worship Jesus together with this powerful song:

We are standing on holy ground.

And I know there are angels all around.

Let us praise Jesus now

We are standing in His presence on Holy ground.

Surely, the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets( or believers). – Amos 3:7. 

If you are indeed a believer filled with the Holy Spirit, one of the ways by which God would speak to you will be through the prophetic ( dreams, visions, or even trances). If you have been reading our write ups consistently, you would notice that this very topic has been extensively discussed but don’t be bored for Bishop James Saah always says ” repetition is the mother of learning “. Besides, this food maybe the same for some of us, but the taste will surely make a difference. Is there something hidden from human eyes? God will not hesitate to reveal it to His chosen people. Some people are so prophetic to the extent that they easily pick signals either in dreams or as soon as you meet them. When the devil notices that fellow who sees his plans and thwarts them, he automatically becomes his target but remember the devil will always lose the battle because ” such a fellow is dead and hidden in Christ and in God”.

These kinds of people cannot be taken unaware. They pick danger before it happens. Is it a car earmarked for an accident? They will see or sense it and will” escape the snare of the fowler.” Sometimes, they don’t escape alone. If they warn passengers on board and they listen, the obedient ones also enjoy God’s divine protection and preservation. 

We read in 2 Kings 6:12-13 

12. “It’s not us, my lord, the king,” one of the officers replied. “Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom!”

13 “Go and find out where he is,” the king commanded, “so I can send troops to seize him.” Do you understand the scripture above? How did a mortal man like Elisha know about everything the Syrian king discussed in his privacy without being told about it by anyone? This means he was assisted by the Father of all spirits. What was the reaction of the king of Syria upon hearing Elisha was the one revealing his plans to Israel? Go and get him for me! He tried it and failed big time! Are your eyes open? If they are, get ready, the devil will come for you, but hear this you shall overcome!

Spend time in prayer and fasting whether you have a problem or not, and you will be shocked at who you are. Apostle Arome Osayi said whether you’re called into the prophetic ministry or not, try spending time with the Lord at midnight by praying in tongues for at least an hour consistently. He did it for months till his eyes were open. You, too, be consistent, and you will see positive results. You will know deep things about yourself, your family and those connected to you. God too will give you solutions to the problems you see for He reveals to redeem.

You may not be sent to do ministry but rather to a different field of endeavor or to the political arena like Daniel, who was a prophet and a politician. He never used a pulpit to prove he’s a threat to the kingdom of darkness.

Imagine, you see into the spirit and you walk in the health sector and they bring you a sick person whose sickness you have been able to diagnose through the eyes of the spirit that it’s spiritual and not physical. Wouldn’t you do better than an ordinary medical doctor who doesn’t believe in spirituality. You, the prophetic medical doctor, are likely to begin to speak in tongues, speak the scriptures on the sick person and lay hands on him, and command the sickness to go, and it will go!

Later, you can administer medicine if necessary, and wonders will happen. Won’t Jesus be praised to see you are representing him without a microphone and a pulpit if you are not called into pulpit ministry?

 The enemy will fight you through your colleagues at work, or he himself may afflict you, but you will be healed, I tell you, and God will anoint you with a fresher anointing as a reward.

Imagine as a teacher, you know which of your students has a godly or an evil spirit and you are able to help those who want help. When I was a teacher, by His grace, I picked some students like that, and they knew I was not an ordinary teacher. A demon possessed girl from Senegal told me she would deal with me and my pastor. I laughed. She came at night with her marine spirits to attack me and my father in the Lord, but she lost that battle and regretted it by the grace of God. Before leaving the country prematurely, she said, ” I know you know me, and I also know you. I know you belong to the Light, but I belong to darkness, so please stop praying against me. I’m always tormented because of your prayers. ” Glory be God! Say after me, ” I’m a threat to the dark world in the name of Jesus!

Because you are highly prophetic, you, as an HR, will never hire bad people. You will not marry your enemy. You will be in the right place at the right time in the name of Jesus!

To be a threat to the enemy is actually a blessing and not a curse. Rejoice, brother and sister!

Shalom! 

Dr. David Tobi Ogoudou

You are a Threat to Satan (4)

Another sign that shows you are a threat to the kingdom of darkness apart from experiencing unusual seasons of isolation, early or prolonged spiritual attacks, being highly sensitive to the presence of God is that you are highly compassionate about the afflicted, sick needy, ignorant or lost.

“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. ” – Matthew 14:14. The scripture states that Jesus healed the people because he had compassion on them. Why did he have compassion on them? Because, when he saw these people in bondage,  he felt a burden to liberate them. Remember, it was this same Jesus Herod wanted to eliminate when he was a baby. Why? 

Acts 10: 38 says “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.”. He was anointed to bring an end to the works of Satan, and for that matter, demons didn’t like Him. Some of them said to Him, ” Why have you come to deal with us before our time?” for they knew Him. This compassion I’m talking about is not normal. You know some people may see the sick and just feel bad or sorry for them, and it ends there. The best they can say to them is ” please take your medicine and get well soon,” which is not bad. That’s how they demonstrate their love or compassion to the afflicted or sick, but for you, it’s so different. When you see people sick or hurting, you feel you are the one going through that ordeal. Your immediate response is to find a quick solution for their sicknesses. In fact, sometimes you wish their sicknesses could be transferred to you so that they will also experience good health. The worst scenario is when a sick person you felt you could have done something about their health dies. When that happens, you lose your peace and even sleep. You can spend hours in prayer asking the Lord why a particular sick person died or is even sick and what can be done to reverse their condition. That’s compassion. The Holy Spirit is the one that implanted that deep compassion in your soul and spirit so that you can rely on Him for a solution. 

If you are a medical doctor, in fact, a called one and not someone who went into the field to satisfy their carnal desires or honor their parents, you would also have the same feelings as someone who’s called into ministry just that yours will be tailored towards medicine which is another area God uses to bring health to His people. When you see a patient in pain in your ward, you try everything within your power to get them well. You always have this burden to help the sick. Sometimes, you can even use your money to pay patients’ medicine. You derive so much satisfaction when you see them healed through you. For you and the one called into ministry, don’t expect the devil to spare your health. He will attack it, but you won’t die. Until you feel what sick people feel, you may not understand how it feels to be sick and how it feels like enjoying perfect health. The devil sees you as threat because he knows that with your healing or medicine anointing, you will do so much for Jesus and restore health to His people ” But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’ – Jeremiah 30:17. You are an agent of healing and, by extension, a serious threat to the dark kingdom. Hold on to the horns of the altar and let that healing grace be activated. Pray for the sick and you, the medical doctor, continue with your job.  Be encouraged!

As a financial apostle, for you you may have a lot of financial problems now. When you see people in lack who can’t get food for themselves, can’t pay their rent, or you see a struggling church or community, you feel so bad are always like ” I wish I had money….” The interesting thing is that as you may have your own needs unmet, you will be more concerned about other people’s needs. When you get the cash you really need, what do you think you will do? You may have been employed for sometime now, though you are more than qualified to get a job. Brother, get the job now and see the speed at which you will do incredible things for yourself, family, and the people connected to you. God has allowed this season for a purpose. It’s a learning process. The devil is not a factor here and is not stronger than God. He has allowed the attack for you to depend on Him so that when he finally deals with the devil,  you will give all the glory to God. The devil knows you but unfortunately you don’t know yourself and you always complain. 

I declare and decree through you, the sick shall be healed, the afflicted delivered, the hopeless shall find hope, the barren shall conceive, the unmarried shall be married in the name of Jesus. This is all because “you are the Lord’s battle axe and a weapon of war”!

Be blessed!

You are a Threat to Satan (3)

Beloved, Calvary greetings to you in the precious name of Jesus! In our previous write -ups, we mentioned that as far as our teaching is concerned, some signs we see in our lives are an indication that we are dangerously anointed or are a threat to the devil.

The first is unusual seasons of isolation, and the second one is early or prolonged spiritual attacks. 

Now, are you highly sensitive to the presence of God? If yes, that’s an index of the fact that you are indeed a threat to the kingdom of darkness. 

How do you feel during spirit filled worship sessions, acidic prayer meetings, or when you are hearing an anointed man of God preach the infallible word of God? Think about it for a second. 

Some people experience goosebumps when their spirit gets connected to a powerful worship song. They can be singing the chorus of a song until they start crying in His presence. This is spirit worship. They that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and truth. In fact, some of these worshippers get prophetic messages or visions from the Holy One when they start worshipping. Have you felt like that before?

Other people feel heat either in their palms, which could be a powerful anointing for healing, deliverance, or something else depending on what the Great Monarch tells you it is. Though such unctions are normally synonymous with healing, you must ask Him to confirm it to you. When I worship or start leading people in prayer,I feel a combustible anointing in a part of my body.

Remember, it is not everyone who feels this way because we walk by faith and not by sight ( 2 Corinthians 5:7) but you that are a threat to the devil will just notice that the way you feel is different.

So when you feel heat, for example, what do you have to do? Check the results or the things that happen at that time. Do you start seeing or hearing? Do you begin to sense the presence of God? Do you feel you are not alone? Do you feel led to pray, lay hands on people, or issue commands, and when you do what happens? If you notice a pattern, nurture it, and you will know who exactly you are. If you start giving commands and people start getting healed, delivered, or miracles happen, that means the angel of your ordination is around. 

Job 4:15 is a verse from the Book of Job that describes Eliphaz’s terrifying experience: “Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.” This encounter with a spiritual entity left him in awe and silence, followed by a voice that questioned the righteousness of mortals before God. When these angelic beings come close to mortals, we fall, we cry, tremble, or even scream. This is because we are connected to their realm, though we are on earth. Not everyone experiences this and has experienced that before. At this juncture, begin to pray and enquire of the Lord, ” Father, what is the meaning of what I’m sensing, what do I do etc…? Keep asking earnestly anytime you have any of the experiences discussed above and the answer will come when God notices you mean business. For some people, He could say , “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” -Psalm 46 :10. And when you obey, He will speak in a way that you just would not doubt He’s the one. When a spirit speaks to you regularly or often, my friend, you are dangerous and must be feared, trust me. You may enter your office to sit on your chair, and that  feeling you are used to will just come and your spirit will pick it up and you will refuse to sit on the seat and your evil doers will wonder how you knew about their evil plans. 

Because you are a spiritually sensitive personality I declare and decree upon your life” you will not a poisonous food, you will not marry your enemy, when you begin to feel the anointing for protection and preservation, you will know what to do by the Spirit, whenever you appear in a place control by demons or possessed persons they rather shall relocate or leave the place because you are a threat to the dark kingdom in the name of Jesus!

Be blessed!

You are a Threat to Satan (2)

The second sign that shows you are a threat to Satan is that the believer experiences prolonged spiritual attacks.

Even though Satan is not omniscient like God Almighty, he still makes some people go through some early ordeals because he sees the sign of greatness on people who are destined for greatness. He may not know who that person may actually become, like a medical doctor, a lawyer, or an interpreter, but there are signs he can read on them even before that fellow’s salvation. He could attack great people through consistent demonic attacks in dreams, delayed miracles, sicknesses, unemployment, etc. 

When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him. ” – Matthew 2:13. You see, Herod (Satan) wanted to eliminate Jesus, a child who was so innocent. Why did he target him? How sure was he that Jesus was going to become a great person? And why would a child be a threat to an elderly man? In fact, by the time Jesus grows, he ( Herod) would have died. But he never thought of that. All he wanted was let him die. But an angel came through for Jesus by giving a life-saving instruction to his parents that they followed, and the child was secured. May an angel also visit you and tell you what to do against the plans of the enemy!

Dr Paul Enenche, late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, were both familiar with sicknesses when they were growing. At a point, they were rejected because they were always sickly. But why the attacks on them at that tender age? Because of greatness. Medical science was impotent before such diseases. These are sicknesses you wonder how to deal with to no avail. That’s when we don’t have to give up because in this painful period, ” we will look up to the hills from whence cometh our help for our help cometh from the Lord.”

A demonic power attacked Smith Wigglesworth one day at night, and he shook his bed. What did Smith do? He laughed and said, ” Oh, it’s you, devil,” and he rebuked him, and he left. You have the same measure of faith Smith operated with. Exercise your authority over such disturbing situations. Don’t give up! James 4 : 7 reads, ” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Listen to me, the devil often attacks the very area of your calling. If you are a footballer, he’s likely to attack your your leg, for a preacher, he might attack your speech, and for a healer, what do you think he’d attack? Think about it!

That child who has a whole in his heart, who is autistic, has sicknesses that attack elderly people that medicine cannot deal with and that they are in no way responsible for is attack on their health and by extension their greatness. Don’t see them as nonenties, or useless people or a worry for Satan doesn’t waste his scarce investment on people who are not a threat to him. Imagine what these children would do if they are healthy. Some even still do very well in a specific area though they are afflicted. Don’t you still see a mark of greatness on them? Brethren I join my faith to yours and rebuke that spirit of infirmity in your life or in the lives of your children in the name of Jesus! Satan, your time is up! Stop hiding in your bodies. Loose them and let them be freed! Be healed and made completely whole in the matchless name of Jesus. Walk in your divine ordination and give glory to Jesus!

Don’t give up for with God all things are possible. Smile because you are special to God even in that condition that looks like it will never change. It takes just a second to receive a miracle. Love you!

Be blessed!

You are a Threat to Satan

When we say one is anointed, it simply means that one is chosen, consecrated, or set apart for a special purpose by God with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. But beloved anointings are in levels. Some people’s anointing could be very high, and others’ could be low depending on the nature of the call upon their life.  God Himself is responsible for that. Romans 9:15 confirms this truth ” For he ( God) says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 

This doesn’t mean the one with a low level of anointing cannot grow and cause God to increase their anointing. 

Having said that, when you see the signs I’m going to discuss below in your life, it means you are a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Mark my words.

Unusual seasons of isolation. Remember, I’m not talking about self driven isolation where just because we are too proud or have melancholic or phelgmatic dispositions, we always isolate ourselves. No! In this season of your life, you that used to be the sanguine type, for instance, decide not to be everywhere as you used to be. This usually is not because someone has hurt you or you have lost trust in men. The Lord draws you to the cave of Adullam ( 1 Samuel 22 v 1-2). The Lord does this so he can reveal you yourself to you, men, without forgetting Himsef.

Here, you will be no longer interested in being around people or at programs. People will subject you to vilification, and they just wouldn’t understand you. That’s the period of “hiding.” You may be praying over an issue during this season, and you will not receive any answer. The Great Monarch will be monitoring your spiritual training from his realm without your knowledge. If I tell you you may not cry in this season or even feel rejected, I’m a liar.

In this season, too, He will reveal kingdom vessels to you with respect to your assignment. These personalities always resonate with your spirit.  For me, most of the generals He revealed to me where Pastor Benny Hinn, Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, my late father in the Lord, Bishop Dr. Christopher Quartey, Apostles Arome Osayi, Michael Orokpo, Johnson Suleman, and Joshua Selman, just to mention a few. For you, it could be vessels of God in business, law, sports, medicine, etc.. why does the Lord do that? He wants you to learn from them, get their books or videos, and learn from them seriously from afar or whenever you get the opportunity to meet them personally during your season of isolation.

Galatians 1: 17 – 18 reads …”nor did I( Paul) go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia and returned once more to Damascus.

Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.” When Apostle Paul was called, in fact, after his conversion to Christianity, he said he went to Arabia and didn’t go and see the apostles who were there before him in Jerusalem. Arabia here could mean your place of isolation where you are left alone to seek the Lord with all your heart. It could also be a divorce, unemployment, and lack of children, among others. During this period, go to ” Arabia” by giving yourself to prayer and fasting as well as the word of God. Until you see results, don’t stop your spiritual exercise. You don’t need to explain yourself to men but God, your maker. 

Between 1859 – 1947, existed a man of God by the name of Smith Wigglesworth, a man of tremendous faith, healing, and miracles followed his ministry. Before the hand of God was evident in his life, he was a shy person, a plumber, and was unable to speak publicly. He always followed his wife to meetings and supported her when she was preaching. He went through years of silence and hidenness till he took that season seriously by making good use of it. And when he started his ministry, he soared like an eagle. 

You can do the same thing. Stop the self-pity game and put on your priestly regalia and see what the Lord will do with your life. Nothing is late with God, my brother or sister. You are simply a threat to your family altars.

Stay blessed!

Well of Living Water

One of the most powerful stories in the Gospel of John is Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1–42). What looks like an ordinary conversation over water is, in fact, one of the most radical demonstrations of the Kingdom of God—an intentional outreach to a marginalized woman, breaking centuries of hostility, and revealing the greatest mystery of true worship.

1. A Divided History: Jews and Samaritans

To understand the depth of this encounter, we need the backdrop. Samaritans were descendants of Israelites who intermarried with foreigners after the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Kingdom (2 Kings 17:24). They held to the Pentateuch but rejected the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures, worshiping on Mount Gerizim instead of in Jerusalem.

To Jews, Samaritans were impure—heretical half-breeds. By the first century, this animosity had festered for centuries. Jews would even take longer routes just to avoid Samaritan territory. Against this backdrop of hostility, Jesus does something shocking—He goes straight through Samaria.

2. The Intentional Journey

John 4:4 says, “Now He had to go through Samaria.” Geographically, He didn’t. Spiritually, He did. This “must” reflects divine necessity. Jesus was on a mission to break barriers, showing that the Kingdom of God was not exclusive to Jews, but open to all who would believe.

3. The Conversation at the Well

At noon, a Samaritan woman arrives to draw water—avoiding the crowds, perhaps because of her reputation. Jesus asks her: “Will you give me a drink?”

That question was revolutionary:

• Cultural Barrier: Jews didn’t associate with Samaritans.

• Gender Barrier: A Jewish rabbi rarely engaged women publicly.

• Moral Barrier: She had a broken past—five husbands, and now living with another man.

Yet Jesus humbled Himself, asking her for water. With this simple request, He bridged hostility, gender norms, and shame.

4. Living Water and Revelation

From water, Jesus turns to living water—the gift of eternal life and the Holy Spirit. He exposes her past, not to condemn, but to awaken her to her deeper thirst.

Her understanding grows step by step: first, He is a Jew. Then, a prophet. Finally, she begins to see Him as the Messiah.

5. Worship Beyond Walls

The woman raises the centuries-old religious debate: “Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim Jerusalem is the place” (John 4:20).

Jesus’ answer is revolutionary: “A time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem… true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth” (John 4:21–24).

Worship was no longer tied to sacred geography or ritual—it would be rooted in Spirit-filled relationship with God.

6. From Shame to Witness

The woman who once avoided people becomes the first evangelist in Samaria. She runs to her town, declaring: “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” (John 4:29).

Many believe because of her testimony. Even more believe after meeting Jesus themselves. Remarkably, He stays with them for two days—something unthinkable for a Jewish rabbi.

Key Lessons for Us

1. Reconciliation – Jesus broke centuries of hostility, showing His mission is to reconcile us to God and each other.

2. Inclusivity of the Gospel – No race, gender, or reputation disqualifies anyone from God’s love.

3. True Worship – Worship is not about ritual or place but spirit and truth.

4. Personal Encounter → Public Witness – An encounter with Jesus transforms shame into bold testimony.

5. Divine Necessity – Jesus “had to” meet her. Our divine appointments with Him are never by accident.

This encounter at the well is more than a story—it’s a prophetic signpost. The gospel was breaking past Jewish boundaries, reaching the outcast, and ushering in a new era of Spirit-led worship for all nations. Jesus doesn’t just meet us at the well of our shame; He turns it into a fountain of life for others.

His Vineyard, our calling

In Matthew 21:33–46, Jesus tells the parable of the vineyard—a landowner who planted, fenced, and cared for a vineyard, entrusting it to tenants who were meant to guard and cultivate it. Instead, they rejected the master’s messengers and even killed his own son. This echoes the prophetic imagery in Isaiah 5, where God laments, “Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down” (Isaiah 5:5).

The chief priests and Pharisees who listened to Jesus knew these prophetic writings. They understood that God had entrusted His Word, His truth, and His kingdom purposes first to Israel. But through their rejection, the stewardship of the vineyard has been extended beyond them—to us, the Gentiles—who have now received the living and active two-edged sword of God’s Word (Hebrews 4:12).

This trust is no small thing. It means that our lives are not our own. We are called to be vessels through whom the Word is guarded, nurtured, and multiplied. Just as the vineyard was planted to yield fruit, so must our gifts, talents, and very existence bear fruit for the kingdom of God. Every word we speak, every act of service, every hidden sacrifice becomes part of the eternal harvest God is seeking.

And at the center of this story is the magnitude of God’s sacrifice: He did not spare His own Son, but sent Him as the lifeline for sinners who had no hope of saving themselves (Romans 8:32; John 3:16). Think of the cost—the Son of God crucified, rejected by those He came to save. What a tragedy, what a waste it would be, if we who were once damned by sin now neglect so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3).

The vineyard was never meant to be a possession for selfish gain; it was meant to be a trust, a responsibility, a calling. Likewise, our lives are not random accidents, but divinely planted vineyards where the Spirit of God seeks to cultivate righteousness, love, and truth. To waste our gifts, to bury our talents, to live for ourselves alone, is to trample underfoot the very blood of Christ poured out for us.

Beloved, the kingdom of God is still expanding, and the Master is still looking for faithful stewards. May we rise as fruit-bearing branches in His vineyard, using our voices, our resources, our influence, our creativity, and our entire lives as offerings. For when we live this way, we honor the Son who was slain, and we join in bringing forth the rich harvest that the Master has always desired.

With Love, Esinam.
