Healed of Chronic Cough due to TB

I had cough for two years as a result of a Tuberculosis (TB) infection which I had suffered in 2014. I would experience such a bad pain whenever I coughed, did strenuous activity, breathed-in deeply or even just laughed!

During one Phaneroo service, Apostle Grace shared a word of knowledge about someone who had cough for a long time. I went forth and while he prayed over me, the pain left.

By the end of service, I tried to breathe deeply and laugh and I realized that I could do these comfortably WITHOUT ANY PAIN WHATSOEVER! I now do not have cough; moreover I can now do strenuous activity with no difficulty at all! I thank God for his healing power!

Phaneroo 89 Sermon

Of God

1 John 4:4 ; Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I had never fully understood the meaning of the word ‘of’ as used in this scripture until I noticed that it is a possessive term; it carries the place of origin. It means that the very make up of God is what you carry in the inside of you. We were walking at a certain place where we once were not because of the lust of this world but then because of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, we were separated and now John writes and says that you are ‘of’ God, not you are ‘for’ God. There is a big difference between a person who is ‘of someone’ and someone who is ‘of someone.’ Everything that God carries inside of him is what you carry. That is why when he looks at you he says, ‘you are of me.’

When God saw us in the helpless state that we were in, he did not look at us and do nothing. The greater, being the influence of God, came into your life and consumed you to totality. That is why for everything that you are right now, none of it is your own; everything is of God. Your children are of God; your thoughts are of God; everything that is in the inside of you is of God. You do not have a will. When God wants to do anything he says that he wills and does through you. You can never be disadvantaged as a child of God. You cannot be in the same perils and failures like them who do not know God. Why? Because you are of God.

Of the Blood of Christ

Hebrews 9:13-14;

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

In the past, it was required that sacrifices like bulls and goats be brought before God and these were a figure of Christ that was meant to die. The priests would only look. Those days it was an outward appearance that would approve you in the sight of God. The priests would look at an animal and say, ‘this one has a blemish’ and because it had a blemish, it could not satisfy what God wanted to satisfy. He would look at another and say by my judgment, this one is okay and can go to the holy of holies. But remember, the Bible says that the life is in the blood. He could not see in the inside of the animal. It means that this is a revelation of the grace of God even then because by the sight of the priest he could see the animal as clean and pure to be offered but maybe it had a disease that could not be seen with the naked eye. It was only God who could tell that the blood suffices. So how many times did God by his grace look at these people?

The blood that was of animals could only work in the flesh. It could only go so far but man was not just suffering in the flesh. There had to be something that goes much deeper. This is why Christ had to come as a perfect sacrifice. By his blood, we have been perfected because that blood not only take away sins (since the life is in the blood and Jesus says he is the light), the blood could see every evil thing that needed to be sorted in the inside of humanity. We were sanctified once and for all because this blood carried the efficacy.

Of the Efficacy of the Blood

Ephesians 1:13-14;

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

When we trusted God, we just did not trust God and that marked the end of it. Our salvation came by the gospel of truth. What is truth? Christ said, ‘I am the light.’ Everywhere there is light, there is manifestation of truth. Only Christ could see what man could not see and by that, the gospel came and when the gospel came, you obtained glory.

The efficacy of the blood of Jesus is that everything that was obtained by his death lasts forever. If you obtained life, you have everlasting life. If you obtained glory, it is eternal glory, it cannot be taken away. If you obtained hope, it is a glorious hope, it cannot be taken away. You cannot be separated from the greatness that you carry. Everything that Christ died to give you belongs to you and is held together for you, not by your strength, working or power but by the heavenlies. So it is the duty of the heavenlies to ensure that your purpose is straight and accomplished.

You are a Love Seed

When you are in the love of God, you are in the highest place of the manifestation of signs and wonders. The Bible says that God is love; it also says that in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. If by the word, everything came into being, then by love everything came into being. That is why if you are born of God, you are a normal love seed; a normal love child. The Bible says that the love of God has been shed abroad in your spirit; you naturally love. For God so loved the world that he gave; not ‘for God so burned in wrath’. The Bible says that while we were yet sinners he died. So God looked at the fornicator and loved. God looked at the thief, the prostitute and loved because it is impossible to separate God from love. When the love of God is perfected inside you, you enter heights of manifestation in your generation.

Phaneroo 87 Sermon

The wisdom of the Prudent

The bible says that the wisdom of the prudent man is to know the way of the Lord. (Proverbs 14:8) the reason why it is important to know the way of God is because you can explain his ways. If you only understand his ways it’s possible not to understand his way of doing things. You cannot interpret God by his ways, you can only interpret Him by his way and then His way starts to reveal His ways.

Of Revelation

The Bible says that there was a time when the Holy of Holies was not revealed, even though there is a physical representation of the holy of holies there is a revelation of being in the holiest place in God. It’s a revelation. That’s why the bible says in Hebrews 9:6-8; Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God]. But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people: The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: (in other words when the 1st tabernacle was standing the holiest of all was not revealed. It had to be manifested, it had to be revealed. The holiest place in God is a revelation. It’s an existence that is not straightforward for every naked eye to see otherwise all Christians would see God, hear God and experience Him equally but to many it’s not yet revealed.

Redeeming the Time

God is a God of seasons and times. You can understand your season but if you don’t know your time you cannot get results in your season. That is the problem of the man who spends 38 years at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:5-8). The season of the angel stirring water was known but every time he wanted to get in the bible says another man got in before because when the season came another man calculated time quicker than this fellow. Many are at that pool spiritually but cannot get in because other men know how to take occasion and opportunity of time.

The greatest asset in this life is time, it’s not resources but rather having the opportunity to cease time. The scriptures have taught us that there is a possibility to redeem time. Ephesians 5:16; Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.(KJV)It is possible to redeem time, it’s possible to do something in one year which could have taken 10 years  and it’s possible to do something in 10 years which you could have done in one year.

 The difference between the most blessed and the most disadvantaged men on this earth is how time worked in their favor. In other words they earned quicker what takes other men more years to earn.

Of Reformation

Hebrews 9:9-10; Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation. So when the time of reformation came, everything changed. In this instance what is reformation?

When we define reformation many people don’t understand the price of reformation. Reformation is a situation where men go off the truth and the right line of truth without the knowledge that they are off. He spoke of the time of reformation and said these stood in meat in Hebrews because reformation begins when the conscience is aligned to truth. When a conscience is already compromised and he meets a reformer spirit, they will fight. They are not fighting because the reformer is wrong but because the man’s conscience is not yet perfected in God.

Wisdom To Direct

Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct

The Wisdom to Direct

This means that if you want to cut anything for example meat and the iron you have is blunt then you must use more strength. So the sharper the edge of that iron the lesser the strength you use to cut to get what you need. Put that in our daily experiences, the reason why people labour too much and use much strength and receive little is because the iron is blunt. The Bible says if it’s not whet you will require more strength. So there are two things, you either sharpen your iron and cut with precision and speed and are quickened in everything that you are doing or you take longer. Then the bible says that wisdom is profitable to direct. The word there for “directing” is to proceed to success, to execute quicker. In other words there is a necessity to succeed. Wisdom is a precision. The reason why many Christians are slowed is wisdom. That is why the Bible says that Ephraim is an unwise son for he tarries longer in a place where men ought to give birth.

Hosea 13:12-13 says; The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children. It means that he is not supposed to delay where they produce and because of that the Bible calls him an unwise son. If he had wisdom when he reached the place of bringing forth, he would bring forth quicker.

You Make Your Way

I have seen a laxity in the Christian faith where people give excuses for failing because we have learnt how to do so. I saw a taxi with an inscription saying “we would have worked but because of those ones…”. He didn’t specify who but he said ‘those ones’. I will tell you the truth; when you mature in faith the first thing that you learn is taking responsibility for your life. You might not be responsible for the family you were raised in, for the situations you are going through, who gave you a job and who didn’t, who gave you an audience and who didn’t, who stepped on you and who didn’t. But you are responsible for your next step in life. Why? Because Joshua 1:8 says, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Whether there is somebody standing in your way or not, whether there is somebody who wants it or not, whether there is somebody who loves you that way or not, whether there is somebody to support you there or not, whether the whole world is fighting you or not, God said, ‘then shall ye have good success and make your prosperous’. You make your way.

Wisdom Makes the Difference

Now the man lacks wisdom so the iron is blunt because wisdom in itself is the entity needed to sharpen the iron. Because he doesn’t have the mind to sharpen the iron, it is blunt and he has to use more energy. This is the reason why somebody takes twenty years to do what takes another two days. It’s okay if they are not Born Again but it’s not okay if you are Born Again. God wants better for you. This world is too big for each one of us to fulfill our dreams. Each one of us can have a share in this and all be a success in what God has called us to do.

What is the difference between a man who makes 24 million in 3 hours and one who makes it in 40 years? WISDOM. That is why the bible says in Proverbs 3:13-15 Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God’s Word and life’s experiences], For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold. Skillful and godly Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her. (AMP). In verse 15, the message version says, Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her (MSG). Proverbs 3:16-18; Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are highways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her; and happy (blessed, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who holds her fast (AMP).

You cannot carry wisdom and worry about life or money. With it, you will live long.
