Why Christian Men Fail (Part 2)

Why Christian Men Fail (Part 2)

Yesterday we looked at part 1 of why Christian men fail and I said the first thing the devil attacks is your relationship with your pastor.

The second reason why Christian men fail is unconquered tendencies. These are secret cravings and pleasures that becomes a deadly sin and eventually ruins or almost ruins Christian men.

Let us look at look at some anointed men of God who had unconquered tendencies:

1. King David had a thing for other men's wives. King David was married to Saul's daughter Michal but Saul took her away from him and after that he married Abigail who was the former wife of Nabal, and when he became King of Israel, he asked for Michal his first wife who was already married to another man. 2 Samuel 3:14-15 tells us that Michal's husband was weeping behind her as she left for David's house. At that time, King David had at least four wives. Then King David set his eyes on Beersheba who was the wife of Uriah the Hittite and he killed her husband to marry her. These cravings almost destroyed him, God placed a curse on the house of David that said in 2 Samuel 12:10 "the sword shall never depart from your house"

King David had cravings for what belonged to other men and it almost destroyed him.

King Solomon loved strange and exotic women so much that he had 700 wives who were of royal birth  and 300 concubines and they turned his heart from God.

What are your unconquered tendencies? Lust, sex, anger, food, money? You must begin to conquer it in your heart, it is a monster that can destroy you. May God help us all in Jesus name.

Why Christian Men Fail ( Part 1)

Why Christian Men Fail ( Part 1)

The bible says in Isaiah 4:1 (NLT) In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, "Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won't be mocked as old maids."

Believe it or not there is a deliberate attempt by the kingdom of hell to render the men useless and this is happening already, there is a strategic war against men either as husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles and as business men. The man was God's glorious creation and the devil is fighting tooth and nail for men never to realize their potential. This explains why there are so many useless men out there; men whom the only way they are men is because of the thing dangling between their legs.

I have been writing these devotionals everyday for the past 6 years and I have never ran a series but I am led to do that now and I will be taking you through reasons why Christian men fail.

One of my gifts is the ability to research. For a while I have been studying high flying Christians from the days of the bible till now who suddenly crashed and I discovered that all of them made the same mistakes.

Mistake 1: They stopped listening to their pastor or even fought with him.

When God wants to bless you, He will send you a man of God who sees what you are not seeing, he will speak words into your life and hold you up in the place of prayer. As long as you keep that relationship you will prosper, the moment you disrespect that man or feel you know better, you are on your way down. King Saul disrespected Prophet Samuel in the bible, in the world of today, we have people like Israel Houghton who left Lakewood Church because he wanted to divorce his wife (he is back in church now though) and Deittrick Haddon who disrespected Bishop TD Jakes.  These men have no regard for spiritual authority and this always marks the beginning of the end for them.

Man of God, as long as you keep that link with your man of God you will prosper! Don't grieve them, they have labored over you. The best gift you can give your man of God is your success, he wants to brag on you.

If you follow these things I am talking about you are one of the few the devil can't touch, you are SMART! May God help us all in Jesus name.

You Can't Handle Two Women

"Please o, I don't want wahala, you are a married man, I don't want to have anything to do with another woman's husband"  Maxwell held Cynthia's waist "it doesn't matter, we like each other a lot that is what is important" 

Cynthia hugged Maxwell and smiled to herself. This was the man she was supposed to marry but he chose another woman over her well she would share Maxwell with his wife till she met the man she would marry.

Maxwell would lie to his wife that he was working late but he spent most of his time at Cynthia's place, she would feed him and make sure they had sex almost everyday. Maxwell would get home exhausted and tired. His wife began to suspect that something was wrong, he had not touched her in a month and when she asked him, he said it was the pressure from work. 

Gradually Maxwell stopped coming home every night and it became a war for his wife to get money from him.  His phones were always locked and he would hide them when he wanted to sleep. So she decided to trace his movement and discovered Cynthia's residence. Maxwell's wife went with her friends and they beat Cynthia so bad that she ended at the hospital, she swore to retaliate by getting pregnant for Maxwell. 

Maxwell went for a medical checkup recently and he was diagnosed with high blood pressure. 

Men! The truth is you can't handle two women successfully, it will cost you a lot, focus on your wife, teach her to be everything you want her to be, you will live longer that way. One of the fastest ways to poverty is sleeping with any woman who is not your wife.  Proverbs 6:29 (NIv) So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

May God give us wisdom and contentment in Jesus name.

Don't Destroy Favor

One day of favor is equal to a lifetime of labor. If you had to work for everything you had,  you must have lived a miserable life, favor is God serving you first when it won't go round, favor is receiving gifts you don't deserve. There are no successful men, there are only favored men. The difference between the Obioma tailor and a fashion designer is favor. Favor is important! You must go for it!


Yet it breaks my heart to see people lose favor all the time. Many people lose favor because of foolishness and ignorance. How do you attract favor:

1. When you meet someone you admire don't ask for money: I learnt this the hard way. I did some services for a top politician three years ago and then I asked that he buy me a car 🙆🙆🙆🙆 😂😂😂. From that time, the man believes I am money hungry. Don't be foolish, don't see successful people as your ATM card, offer your services and do it diligently. Be more concerned about the relationship than money.


2. Don't be a collector; are you like the earth that is never satisfied? You are like the Dead Sea always collecting but never giving anything out, you will stink! Make it an habit to give to people who give to you! As a matter of fact, give more than everyone in your circle.


3. Learn how to appreciate people who have been good to you: saying "thank you" to people who have shown you favor is good but that is not enough. Do something tangible to express your gratitude.

4. Don't let people who have shown you favor regret it. There are some people you have shown favor who have repaid you with evil. Those kind of people have no favor, God is the One who dispenses favor and if you don't take care of favor, you won't see more.

There are many more but I will stop here. Receive wisdom for favor in Jesus name.

Testimony Thursday

The Holy Spirit instructed me to share a testimony every Thursday. So when everyone does throwback Thursday, I do testimony Thursday, they are both #TBT 😁

Early this month, the Holy Spirit inspired me to start Sapphire Scents line of fragrances. For the past 19 months we would scout the Middle East for rare fragrances and then bring them to Nigeria. God gave me a nose to smell perfumes that can make money and we have made a little fortune from those perfumes but now God was telling me to move on. The Holy Spirit let me in on a secret; He said there would be people who would be selling exactly what we sell, they would visit our page, copy all our perfumes and order the same stuff from the Middle East even though we were the ones that introduced these perfumes to the Nigerian market.

When I told my distributors many of them pleaded with me but I knew what the Holy Spirit had told me. It created a serious frenzy because many distributors even had pending orders and they needed to get perfumes to their clients but I refused to budge.

Yesterday afternoon I was going through Instagram when I saw a page using our pictures and displaying our kind of perfumes. Initially I thought the person must be our distributor but on closer inspection the person was not! They were using all our pictures many of which our distributors took with their phones, I took some of those pictures too.

I referred our distributors to the page and asked them not to make a scene, I wanted them to learn a lesson, always listen to the Holy Spirit, He will reveal secrets to you. If you are a businessman and your competition can do what you do then you can't last! Thank God we moved on! We would have lost millions of Naira this Christmas.

With Sapphire Attar we have no competition because nobody knows what we mixed and when these perfumes land, I know the perfume industry will never be the same, I was anointed for this, I was born to do this!

Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the Holy Spirit, cherish that relationship, you can't do much without Him.

Your Life is A Preparation

David was a shepherd who later became a king, Moses was so obsessed with fighting oppression that he killed a man, he later delivered 2 million Jews, Joseph was a dreamer from a very young age and he later interpreted pharaoh's dream and became prime minister.

Your life is a preparation for one glorious moment; everything you have been through, all the challenges you experienced, all the people that hated you and made life miserable for you were all part of the script for the glorious thing God will do in your life.

I loved perfumes but I never knew I would one day own a perfume company and my own brand of perfumes! 🙆🙆🙆 What is that thing that you love doing? Keep at it, keep grinding, purpose and destiny is hidden in it.

Another phenomenal scripture is in 1 Chronicles 14:2 David realized that the LORD had confirmed him as king over Israel and had greatly blessed his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

All the challenges that David went through in his life was because God was preparing to make him king over Israel!

Don't despise those challenges they are helping you to prepare for that glorious future. Everyday brings you closer that is why it's so important to SURVIVE TODAY! Tell death, depression and all those issues NOT TODAY AND NOT TOMORROW either because there is a shining destiny after this challenge, there is a shining light at the end of the tunnel! Stay alive my brother, stay alive my sister and you will reach that destiny in Jesus name.

Your Best Days Are In Your Future

To me one of the most amazing and unforgettable scriptures that makes my blood hot is Genesis 50:26  "Joseph died at the age of 110 years"

My God! Joseph became prime minister of Egypt at 30 and he reigned for 80 YEARS! Jesu! 🙆🙆🙆

This same man was in prison for at least 5 years but he spent the next 80 years of his life in splendor, royalty, abundance and comfort. 

My brother and my sister forget about the challenges of now! Your future is bright! Your best days are ahead of you, don't kill yourself before your time, take it easy, love God and do what the bible says and you will reign forever.  Never ever forget that your future self is not like your present self. Those challenges shall pass and the real you will emerge.

You Cannot Afford To be Neutral

Lester woke up with two naked women sleeping on his chest, he picked up a half smoked marijuana and lit it, he was living the life; at 26 he had everything money could buy. His parents used to tell him that he needed God to be successful but they were wrong, he didn't need anybody, all he needed was his brain and he was very smart, he graduated magna cum laude at Harvard, he was the most sought after project manager in Africa and Europe.

Lester had a $10 million presentation at 10am so he got dressed, kissed his two girlfriends, got into his SLK MacLauren with oxblood interiors and sped away. He got to the office of Pablo and Ricci right on time, he was never late.

At 10 sharp, he set up his projector and said "good morning everyone" and his mind blacked out, he couldn't remember what he had to say. He apologized and promised to come back later. The moment he left their office, everything came back so he drove back but when he stood in front of them, he blanked out again. Lester began to experience these black outs for a year and he lost everything that he had.

It was then that Lester ran to God and gave his life to Jesus Christ and the blackouts stopped immediately.

Ladies and gentlemen if you are a highflying businessman and you don't pray or do juju or belong to any cult yet your business is doing well and thriving, give it some time you can't last!

The business world is not for neutral people! Business controls money and power and you need these two in the world to dominate. If Satan had the nerve to tell Jesus to bow down and worship him and he would handover the riches and glory of this world to him why then do you think you can live anyhow and be successful for long.

My brother, my sister you cannot be neutral! Choose Jesus! That is the only name that has influence in heaven, on earth and under the earth! Every other name will fail! Align your business with Jesus and you will see what will begin to happen.

Men Ought To Pray

Lucifer sat in hell when the two monitoring spirits he assigned to Mr Kole's family appeared and they said "that man is a Christian but we have seen a loophole in his family, they don't pray together, there is no family altar in their house, there are no angels guarding their home"

Lucifer laughed "we will introduce the spirit of strife and insecurity through his wife, we will begin to whisper thoughts that her husband is cheating and then we will arrange one of our girls to set him up, get to work! I hate Christian marriages, they must scatter, their children must hate God!"

Kole woke up and brushed his teeth and then he kissed his wife Linda, he  said a five minute prayer and left for work. Long prayers were for church, the one hour prayer done in that church would last him for a week, he needed to focus on other things.

At 9pm Kole was still not back from work Linda called her husband but he didn't pick up, that was unusual. Meanwhile Kole was on his way home when he saw a lady with a flat tyre,  her name was Rachel, he stopped to help her and when he was done changing her tyres, she hugged him and planted a kiss on his cheeks and his shirt but he didn't know that there was a lipstick stain on his cheek and shirt.

He got home and Linda took one look at him and she just went crazy, she began to call him all sorts of names but he didn't understand why until she showed him the lipstick stain, he tried to explain but she didn't believe him and things grew worse everyday, Kole began to see more of Rachel because there was no peace at home and in two years, their marriage was over.

I am talking to men this morning; it's important  to make money but one of the most important roles of a man is to pastor his home. NEVER EVER EVER start or end a day without praying together and reading your bible, this is SO IMPORTANT and only very few Christian homes do this. I learnt a long time ago that PRAYER IS THE SEED FOR PEACE! Families that pray together, stay together!

Every 6:30 am in the morning and 9pm at night we are praying, praising and reading the bible at my house. Try it and see how peaceful and joyful your home will be. Receive wisdom in Jesus name.

Testimony Time!

I am stirred to share this testimony with someone and I believe it will bless you.

After we moved into our apartment there was still a lot that needed to be done in terms of furnishing the house. We had made a bed and a sitting room set, we had 2 ACs, 2 TVs, a fridge, a gas cooker and 2 sound systems that was all. The apartment was a 3 bedroom we needed a dining set, bedroom furniture, mirrors,  a generator, TVs and ACs in every room, we needed wardrobes, we needed to repaint the walls and just make the place beautiful.

Ladies and gentlemen if it took God to get you that car, job, house it will take God for you to maintain it! I wrote down everything I needed to buy and when I did the calculation it was quite some money but I have learnt how to make things multiply. I would wake up at 4am and go to the apartment, we had not moved in at the time and I would connect the music player, drop the list of all we wanted to buy and just praise God for two hours and then I would go into every room and declare "supernatural supply"

By the grace of God today, we have everything on that list now, I think I have the most beautiful apartment in our block of flats yet only last year we were squatting and we had nothing but our clothes in Ghana must go bags.

Beloved you can praise God into your next level. When you have praises and worship songs in your mouth, your testimony is certain!
