The Right Way to Deal With Enemies

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8If you want relief from enemies, one of the most unprofitable things you can do is fight them. If you fight them, they will fight you back and the enmity deepens. But God through the prophet has said “When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him”-Proverbs 16:7. The way to get relief from enemies is to live your life in a way that pleases God and God will cause your enemies to give you peace. God is in control of even our enemies and He uses them to correct flaws in our character, and when we deal with our character, there is no need for an enemy to be used to file away at the rough edges in our personality.

Formulae For Answered Prayers

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8When we read Mark 11:24-25 we see that the formulae for manifesting your desires is to forgive, then believe, and continue to believe until you receive. “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” It does nothing for you to keep praying until something manifests. Prayer doesn’t do the trick. Belief in God is what does. In actual fact, Matthew 6:7-8 says God already knows what you need before the prayer. If that was all He desires then you would have a manifestation even before you pray “when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him”.

Beat Aging

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8Years don’t necessarily age us. Rather, it is the grudges, bitterness and unforgiveness of those years that age us. Think about it for a minute. When we were kids, our mothers dried clothes under the sun on a clothes line. Before putting the clothes on the line the line will be straight but after putting clothes on it, the weight of the clothes affects the line and it is no longer straight. If you walk about for years, you may not have a bent back, but if you carry grudges, bitterness and unforgiveness for most of those years, your back will definitely be bent over. So, if you wish to retain the vibrancy of youth be “quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you”-Colossians 3:13 (MSG). And don’t let anyone deceive you, there’s no forgiveness without forgetfulness. Love “keeps no record of wrongs”-1 Corinthians 13:5.

Faith and Fear

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8The reason why people are either incurable optimists (a person who see hope in the future) or incurable pessimists (a person who believes the worst of the future) is because both persons work on the principle of faith and whatever you have faith in tends to happen which in turn crystallizes your belief system. Job proved this principle in Job 3:25 when he testified that “the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me”. Job was afraid of the future and his fears came to pass. The woman with the issue of blood had had her condition for twelve years, yet, she remained an optimist and because of her hopefulness for the future, “she said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed”-Matthew 9:21. And what she hoped for became her reality. These two situations are proof positive that whether you expect good or bad, you will never be wrong. Furthermore, the woman with the issue of blood proved that the length of your negative situation does not have to turn you from an optimist to a pessimist.

Faith and Fear Come From Your Point of View.

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8Where does fear come? Fear and faith come from what you give your attention to. What you give your attention to determines whether you are filled with faith or fear. For instance in 1 Samuel 28:5 we read “When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart”. If Saul had not seen the sight he saw he would not have been afraid. Hebrews 12:2 tells us where we should focus our sight “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”. If you can follow this advise, you will always have peace even where the world around you is in turmoil because as Prophet Isaiah promised of God “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you”-Isaiah 26:3.

Reclaiming Your True Cutizenship.

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8Suppose you lived in the poorest nation in this world, yet you were an ambassador of the richest nation, it makes sense that you would not be subject to the poverty of the nation in which you represented your government. But imagine that you, the ambassador, went out of the embassy and someone hit you on the head and you lose your memory and forget you are an ambassador! From that point on, you become subject to the poverty of your host nation. Your poverty will persist until you regain your memory and come to an awareness that you are meant to be sustained by the wealthiest nation in existence. This is no parable. This is the true position of humanity. Every person on earth originates from God’s kingdom. The process of being born is analogous to being hit on the head such that you lose your spiritual memory of the kingdom of heaven. The life you live on earth from your birth is a life unconscious of the original kingdom you come from. The day you come to an awareness that you need God and the salvation He offers through His Son Yeshu’a is the day that you begin to regain your spiritual memory. From that day on )if the process is not hijacked by the enemy of your kingdom) you gradually disconnect yourself from this world and its economy and culture and reconnect yourself to the economy and culture of your home nation-the Kingdom of God. Remember, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us”-2 Corinthians 5:20.

The Purpose for Man’s Creation.

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8In our relationship with God, we should not confuse pleasure with love. God loves everybody in equal measure. In fact, it has been noted that it is not possible to get God to love you more than He already does. However, God is not pleased with everybody. He is only pleased with those who have reconciled with Him through His Son Yeshu’a (Jesus) the Christ. He is further pleased when we increase in the knowledge of God. He is most pleased when the way we live our physical lives reflect that knowledge. Why is it important to understand this distinction? Because God’s purpose for creating man was to receive pleasure from man “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”. You are not a failure in life if you don’t have material success and riches. However, your life is a failure if you get to the end of it without learning how to please God. You were not made to achieve fame and fortune. You were created for God’s pleasure. It is when you understand this purpose that “all these things shall be added unto you”,

Prosperity Does Not Come From Receiving

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8It is a misnomer to think that you can get rich by taking and that a giver gets poorer by giving. No. Consider agriculture. Every time you plant a seed into the ground, that seeds begins to grow and to grow, it must absorb nutrients from the ground around it. And then it matures and the person who planted reaps a harvest. The sower is the giver. The ground is the receiver. The seed is the amount sown. The seed absorbs nutrient from the receiver even though he does not know it. And if all you do is to receive, one day you will be barren. In agriculture, if you constantly plant on the same piece of soil that soil would become barren after some years. This is why farmers practice shifting cultivation and cultivate on a new piece of land every three years. This is the reason why those nations that receive foreign aid are getting poorer while those nations that give foreign aid are getting richer. So, if you have that receiver mentality, don’t think that you are clever. No. You will never prosper as a receiver. No matter your level, start giving to get out of poverty. For as The Bible says in Proverbs 11:24-“One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty”. Poor people need to understand these principles more than they need money. Jesus didn’t just give the poor money. Rather he told John the Baptist’s disciples that “The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them”-Matthew 11:5.

The Example of Job

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8Job was the Godliest man of his time. He was also the richest man of his time. A combination of Bill Graham and Bill Gates in one package. If you desire the type of blessings that God gave Job, ask yourself if you will be as Godly as Job if God blessed you with wealth. From The Bible we learn that both God and satan are constantly going from one end of the earth to the other seeking a man who can handle great wealth and power and still love God. We see this in 2 Chronicles 16:9 “for the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him”. We see this in Job 1:7 “The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it”. God is scanning this world for great faith, satan is scanning this world to bring people of such great faith down. If you can resist satan, like Job did, then God will unleash on you the abundant life that His Son Jesus talked about. But if you cannot, God loves you enough to keep wealth from you so that you will not gain the whole world and lose your soul!
