Dear Friend,

Heaven is easy!

One of the lies of Satan and the ignorant world is to think salvation is difficult, and thus becoming a citizen of heaven is a
tough job!

Many believe their efforts will give them salvation and secure their eternity, thus, they labour night and day, setting up
self-righteous standards for themselves just to merit heaven by their works! Majority of the Jews in the bible followed this
delusion, and they never met God's standard for righteousness!

Romans 10:1-4

Heaven is easy! One second of faith in Jesus' sacrifice for our sins and we are immediately given eternal life, sealed with His
Spirit, and made God's children, all at the same time! This is God's supernatural work. It is beyond human comprehension!
Come to think of it, if God's ways are higher than our ways, then we should expect His plan of salvation to be higher than
our wisdom or efforts!

It is logical to think that salvation will be a difficult, rigorous process or heaven will be a difficult realm to access, after all,
we all know how difficult it is to access some estates in our world or even a rich man's house or office. We know how
difficult it must be to access the president of our nation or any other globally acclaimed dignitary, thus, it is logical to
assume heaven will be difficult, and only when we sweat, suffer, wail, and go through the most rigorous process can we
access it. The important reality, dear reader, is that God's ways are higher than our ways, God's thoughts are not our
thoughts, and God's 'foolishness' is far greater than our wisdom!

- 1 Corinthians 1:22-24

Many try to use morality as a scale to access God. Some use their scientific research to judge spiritual realities, foolishly so.
Some believe that if they can appease their conscience enough, they will make peace with God and consequently have
direct access to heaven!

Friend, be assured that heaven is easy! It is as easy as a second of faith in Christ Jesus. Your efforts cannot earn you
heaven, salvation or sonship with God!

- Ephesians 2:8-9

If anyone tells you it is their efforts that will get them to heaven, their moral perfection, their vastness of knowledge or any
such thing, they are only being deluded, no matter how deep or vast they sound! The only key that opens heaven,
salvation, and an assured eternity with God is simply faith in Jesus Christ!

Heaven is easy!

If you have not received this Jesus, if you have been told you need to do a hundred things to merit salvation, or you need
to be perfect, or you need to be the best version of yourself to merit heaven, you have been told a lie, today, God has
brought you the truth via this book! Heaven is easy!

- St. Matthew 7:13-14

Many have thought that the way that leads to eternal life is complicated and difficult, but Jesus didn't say the way is
difficult, He said it is narrow! When a way is narrow, it means it is single, it doesn't allow for a multiplicity of ideologies,
beliefs or concepts.

1
Many do not know that the way to heaven is narrow, so they think they can believe anything and do anything to get there;
they think it is a broad road where I can come with my ideas, you can come with yours and whatever we believe
individually will get us into eternal life. They are very wrong!

There are many who believe we are all entitled to our faith, we can all believe whatever we want, and we will all get into
heaven just following any belief we cook up for ourselves. Well, they are very wrong!

The way is narrow! It is not broad, it doesn't accommodate all your assumptions about eternity and salvation. Some folks
think that if they send gifts to everyone in their lives before they die, they will stand a chance to earn heaven through their
benevolence. Many think if they do enough charity, they will earn eternal life and, consequently, an eternity in heaven.
The Jews felt they could follow all the laws of Moses to be saved, but the law of Moses was not an end in itself; the law was
to bring them to the way, only Jesus is the way!

Christ is the purpose for which the law was given. He is the one who gives righteousness to everyone who believes in Him.
The Jews willfully rejected Jesus and stuck with their unbelief, using the laws of Moses as their stronghold!

Many reject Jesus today, they reject His salvation, His atonement for our sins, but they brag about their Christian lineage;
they say their parents are Pastors, and that is all that matters. Some even say they believe Jesus is a prophet, a good
person, a philosopher of some sort, a religious leader of some sort, but they do not believe He is the Son of God, God’s
incarnate, the saviour of mankind, the lamb of God who died for our sins. They do their best to make the road broad, but
narrow is the way!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye
should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
St. John 14:6-7

It doesn't get simpler than this!

Jesus is the way! He is the Truth! He is the life!

Heaven is easy!

Only believe in Jesus, and your eternity is assured!

- St. John 3:15-18

To be saved, all that is required is we believe Jesus died for our sins and He rose to give us eternal life (His Holy Ghost);
this is our assurance! We will never perish! There is therefore no condemnation to us who believe, we can never be damned
in eternity because Jesus took our sins, and He has made us God's righteousness! Hallelujah!

Heaven is easy!

Imagine you were given an assignment, and you were told the solution is in an open box right on the table, in the full glare
of the public, how easy is that? Very easy!

Salvation is so easy, Satan seeks to complicate it so more people can be in unbelief and go with him to eternal destruction,
but today, God has found your soul. God will rescue your soul as you believe in Jesus because heaven is easy!

Only believe.

- Acts 16:30-31

A prison keeper witnessed the miracle of deliverance that happened when Paul and Silas were imprisoned. He quickly
asked how to be saved, and Paul's answer was so straightforward and simple; believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!

Heaven is easy!

Today, God's message of salvation has come to you, it is the greatest message you will ever hear, it is the good news that
will secure your eternity, receive the Lord Jesus into your heart, and secure your eternity by faith in Jesus.

- Romans 10:9-10

Pray this simple prayer of salvation.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for me, thank you for loving me even when I didn't know you, thank you because of this
great love, thank you because you want to give me your eternal life. I come to you today, I believe you died for my sins,
and you rose for my righteousness. I believe this with all my heart. I confess you as my Lord. Thank you for saving me!
Hallelujah!”

If you have said this prayer sincerely, you are now saved! You are now God's child. God's Spirit has now been given to you!

Salvation Is easy; heaven is easy!

2
Now that you have believed the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am glad to inform you that you have everlasting life as
written in the book of John, chapter 3 verse 16;

-John 3:16

This book you now have is a user guide that will teach you what you need to know about this everlasting life you currently
possess. It will also direct you in your new-found faith by exposing to you the actions you must take to grow in the faith
you have received;

A. CRAVE THE STUDY OF GOD'S WORD; YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR NEW LIFE IN CHRIST ACTUALLY
DEPENDS ON IT.

- 1 Peter 2:2-3

You must cultivate the habit of studying God's word. You should also use a daily devotional, as this helps you follow a
study plan. We have the Goodness Daily devotional for your daily growth.

You must also have personal prayer time in the morning, some call this a quiet time. It is a personal time of prayer where
you worship our Father and receive from Him. I suggest your time of prayer and study should not be lesser than one hour
on any day.

- St. Mark 1:35

Please understand that you are responsible for your spiritual growth! Actions must be taken deliberately with all sense of
urgency. While we are here to guide and help you, our efforts will only yield with your strong desire to grow spiritually.

Our Lord Jesus revealed different kinds of believers and the realities of their spiritual growth.

- St. Mark 4:13-20

It is our prayer that you choose to be in the last category of believers, who allow the faith to grow in their hearts and
produce many spiritual fruits to the glory of God.

We have many tools that will promote your spiritual growth.

We have our goodness daily devotional, a monthly devotional that will help you study and promote your growth in God's
word. You should use this devotional daily as you study and fellowship with the Lord.

We have a daily prayer meeting online, for some thirty minutes (6.30 am WAT), on Facebook @Revd Harrison Ayintete.
We hope that as you participate and see more believers like yourself, though online, you are inspired to spend the rest of
the hour studying and receiving from the Lord.

We have our weekly word impact service. On Tuesdays, online. On Youtube @therefinerychurch. We study God's word for
one hour. Between 6.30 pm and 7.30 pm weekly. You will get so much spiritual nourishment from this.

We pray together on Wednesdays, physically, from 6 pm till 7.30 pm weekly. We receive answers, miracles, strength,
directions etc. through this.

We meet physically on Sundays at 9 am. Our physical venues will be communicated to you directly.

You are guaranteed deep spiritual growth with tangible evidence as you attend our meetings constantly.

Please use our telegram page @therefinerychurchinternational to access hundreds of hours of audio messages on many
core subjects of our faith. These materials will help you greatly!

If you choose to join our local church, we have a membership class to disciple you thoroughly in the faith.

Edify yourself daily, as this is a genuine way of remaining fervent in Spirit at all times. You do this by praying in unknown
tongues daily. I recommend at least one hour of praying in unknown tongues daily.

- 1 Corinthians 14:4

Also,

3
 - Jude 1:20-21

Be committed to church meetings. Both online and offline. It is easy to grow in the faith when we gather with other
believers

- Hebrews 10:25

Submit to spiritual authority. Though men are imperfect vessels, they remain the only way God develops and nourishes us
in the faith. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”
2 Corinthians 4:5,7

Also,

- Hebrews 13:17

B. EXERCISE YOURSELF TO SERVE THE LORD!

1. Share your faith with others.

- Corinthians 5:18-19

You are saved to save others!

2. Dissociate from bad relationships that may hinder your spiritual growth or cause you to return to your former ways
of life.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of
those things which are done of them in secret.” Ephesians 5:11-12

3. Commit yourself to join a local church. Be a committed member and begin to serve with other saints there.

Romans 12:1-2

4. Commit yourself to partner financially with the gospel. One of the powerful ways to submit yourself to God's work
and His gospel is to give towards it. Through your financial partnership, you endear yourself to God's work.

St. Matthew 6:19-21

I welcome you to the body of Christ! You have heard the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and have believed; this is the
greatest choice any man can make on this side of eternity!

Let me refresh your memory about the gospel that you have believed.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

The gospel is the message that saved you. The fact of the gospel is that Jesus died for our sins, and God raised Him up on
the third day. He is exalted and has sent His Spirit to abide with the believer forever!

If you have not believed this gospel, you have another opportunity now! Please do not delay because today is the day of
salvation, and the Lord has great plans in store for you in Christ Jesus. Hurry now to receive His eternal life with joy and
begin your journey in Christ Jesus.

If you would like to receive the Lord, please say after me, 'Lord Jesus, I thank you for dying for my sins. I believe you died
for my sins and rose for my justification. Today, I received your eternal life! I thank you because I am saved! Glory to God!
4
Amen!

Again, if you just made this decision, you are welcome to the body of Christ. You now have eternal life! As a result of your
faith, Jesus has sent His Spirit (eternal life) to you!

Acts 2:33

This Spirit now indwells us forever!

- John 14:16-17

This Spirit Is Now In You Forever!

Be assured, dear believer, that this Spirit is not with you till your next mistake or sin, He is not with you till you mature in
Christ, He is with you now and forever!
The exact location of the Holy Ghost is in your human spirit, now recreated since you are now saved.

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
- Romans 8:16-17

God's Spirit bears witness with your Spirit that you are now God's child, thus, heirs of God and heirs with Christ! This
means you are an inheritor of everything that Christ has!
Your spirit is recreated anew, and the bible describes you as the new man!

“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is
renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” Colossians 3:9-11

The Bible calls you a new creature; in your spirit, everything is of God, and you are perfectly new. Your spirit is perfected
forever by the blood (life) of Jesus!
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. For he
hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 & 21

YOU ARE GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS

You are not just declared righteous like Abraham and the saints of old; you are now the reality of righteousness!!
If you are a Nigerian, you will understand a temporary national ID card slip is good, and a temporary voter's card is good,
but the permanent one is the reality!

The believer in Christ has been made God's righteousness in the Spirit, not because of our works but because Jesus was
made sin for us. This is a beautiful exchange! Eternally so!

Along with other saints, your spirit has now been made perfect. You are now God's Zion. In God's realm, supernatural and
divine experiences are natural to you.
“To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of
just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things
than that of Abel.”
- Hebrews 12:23-24

This is your new nature!

You can now act with God's character! You have power over every sinful action or addiction! You can now do God's word!
You can walk in His power! Your character will change to God's divine character! You are new now!

You may feel nothing physically, but God's word says you are new because you believe in Jesus, so you are!

In the realm of the Spirit, you are a new being! Untarnished! New! You are brand new and forever will you remain new
because God has given you His new spirit that death can never corrupt!

YOU ARE GOD'S TEMPLE

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

You now know that you are God's temple. You are a temple to serve God, not one to fornicate, commit adultery, or sin.
You are a temple to display God's power, glory, character, and purpose.

Carry yourself with this consciousness in every place. Expect God to lead you, expect God to speak to you. He has given
you His power. You will work miracles in His name. Your character will change for His divine purpose. Everyone who
knew you will be amazed at your new life. You will be filled with unspeakable joy. You will be joyful even amid trials and
5
adversities. You will always have victory as you recognize God's power is alive in you. You will demonstrate His characters
as you recognize God's power is at work in you!

YOU ARE THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD!

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received
by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily
was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God
that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.”
- 1 Peter 1:18-21

YOU ARE NOW UNDER GOD'S KINGDOM, AND JESUS IS YOUR LORD!

“For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now
ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit
unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.”
- Romans 6:20-23

You were once a servant to sin (unbelief). Today you are a servant to God by God's eternal life in you. Jesus is your Lord!
He owns you! He gives you a new purpose. He leads you! He provides for you. He cares for you! He secures your soul! He
takes preeminence over every area of your life. You are now a servant to a new master, the lover of your soul, and your
eternal king!

6
Now that you are saved, you must crave to study God's word because your spiritual growth depends on it; yes, it does!
The message (gospel) of the Bible is what saved you, and now you must progress to understand and use all the gospel has
brought to you.

The Apostles of old always prayed for illumination for new believers. This illumination is found in the epistles majorly; the
epistles are explanations of the old testament scriptures to you!

The realities of who you are in Christ are laid bare, written without ambiguities in the epistles. Our Lord Jesus had begun to
discuss these realities in the book of John, but in the epistles, they are well documented!

”I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” John 16:12-14

In the epistles, the Spirit guided the apostles into all truth, and these truths are the same for us in every generation. Since
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, every truth His Spirit reveals are the same forever. No one who has the same
Spirit as the apostles teaches differently from them, no one!

John 14:16-17

This Spirit of truth is in your spirit, and He attests that the words of the epistles are true!
Anyone who leads astray from those words is not sent from God to you, or such a fellow has gone astray! Never receive
anyone who tells you to discard the epistles or who tells you to ignore God's word. As a newborn babe, desire the sincere milk
of the word!

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”
- 1 Peter 2:2-3

You must have seen how newborn babes crave milk from their mothers, crying and yelling for it. They are only satisfied
when the mother has attended to them. Likewise, you must maintain this posture of desire as you desire illumination because
God's word is already made available to you!

“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in
you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and
even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
- 1 John 2:26-27

This was Apostle John's warning against false teachers! He warned his children against following heretic teachings not in the
epistles because the Spirit, via the Apostles has taught them.

When he says 'you need no man', he is not referring to genuine Pastors or the fivefold ministers, he is referring to heretics. He
simply meant, 'let no heretic teach against what the Apostles have taught in the epistles'.

Your eyes must be opened! You must crave this!

”Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the
hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power
to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to
be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” - Ephesians 1:15-23

Again;

”That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto
the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins:”
- Colossians 1:10-14

7
Again;
“Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ
Jesus.”
- Philemon 1:5-5

These are Apostle Paul's prayers for the saints. They are my prayer for you as well, and the answers are already in the
epistles if only you will study them!
Never be lazy about knowledge. You have been made God's sons. Wouldn't it be beautiful to know what that really means?
To know what power has been given you? To understand what life you now possess? To know what dreams you will now
fulfill?
It will be beautiful to see you grow and walk in divine truths, for in doing so, your life can never remain the same! You have
been ushered into a glorious life and must be determined to live it!

8
The song "read your bible, pray every day if you want to grow" remains true.

Now that you are saved, refuse to join the leagues of believers who grow cold, lukewarm, or backslide. No! Better things are
spoken of you!

You are moving from here to understand your identity in Christ, your exact calling in the body of Christ, accessing all of
God's material blessings and living in abundance through and through!

Choose that your story will end with abundant souls brought to God's kingdom and fruitful life in Christ!
Some believers have been saved like you, but it took them decades to do the work that God meant for them to do in days or
months because they were sluggish in the Spirit and lazy to commit fully in their desire for the things of God, this will not be
your portion in Jesus name!

You will abound in God's work, and your profiting will appear to all!

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in
purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting
may appear to all.”
- 1 Timothy 4:12-15

One very basic yet powerful exercise you must give yourself to is edification. This spiritual edification comes by speaking in
unknown tongues! Jesus promised that every believer will speak in tongues.
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall
take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
- Mark 16:17-18

This promise is not to believers who have spent years in the Lord. It is for you, dear newbie in Christ! In the house of
Cornelius, they got born again and at the same moment, spoke in tongues!

“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For
they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter.”
- Acts 10:44-46

You do not have to wait for long. You can make up your mind right where you are and confess that you are saved,
acknowledge that this gift is yours, and confess that you will speak it, open your mouth, and God will fill it. You will speak
by faith, and your next words will be unknown tongues!

Note: God gives you utterances, you do the speaking.

The utterances are not in your head, they are in your spirit, so don't think about them before speaking. Just open your
mouth with a decision to speak in unknown tongues, and there you go!

It is so simple. Only our religious minds make it difficult.

“For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries….. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the
church.”
- 1 Corinthians 14:2,4

As you speak in tongues, you edify yourself! Wouldn't you love to be edified? To build up yourself like an edifice?
To be so built up in the Spirit that faith and power are oozing out from you at every point in time? Oh, what a powerful life
that is!

No human being understands you when you speak in tongues, but God does! And guess what? These words are from your
spirit. They are not sensual, they are not carnal, they are not earthly!
“For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the
spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”
- 1 Corinthians 14:14-15

When you pray in unknown tongues, your spirit is doing the praying, your understanding doesn't know a thing, except, of

9
course, you make a habit of this, master it, and your mind soon begins to catch up on the things you utter and you can also
give interpretations of those tongues which will mostly bless the church in your known language.

Notice, Apostle Paul said, 'I will pray in the spirit'; this shows you it is within your will! It is within your will! You can
choose to pray in tongues; you can choose to pray in understanding.

Many believers think it is within God's will, if God wants them to pray in tongues, He will force them, or maybe a wind will
come into their home and all that, but they got it wrong! The early apostles didn't speak in tongues because a wind came
from heaven, they spoke because the Spirit gave them utterance, and they yielded to it.

Apart from Acts chapter 2, no other person felt a wind before speaking in tongues.

If you need more understanding on speaking in tongues, please speak to any of our leaders in The Refinery Church
International, and they will lay hands on you and aid you in this.

Choose to edify yourself constantly! It is your way out of sensuality and carnality!

“These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.”
- Jude 1:19-20

God won't do it for you! You have to do it yourself.

You have been baptized by the Spirit and in the Spirit, so don't wait for any experience; you have all that is necessary to
speak in tongues!

“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all
made to drink into one Spirit.”
- 1 Corinthians 12:13

To drink into the Spirit is to be baptized in Him! Wait no further, proceed in your edification today!

 4

THE GIFTS AND THE FRUIT

You have now been immersed in a supernatural life; you must explore it in all its functionalities. You have been given the
gifts of the Spirit. They are God's gifts to you!

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit
the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same
Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another
prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation
of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he
will.”
1 Corinthians 12:7-11

You make profit into God's kingdom by these gifts of the Spirit.

The Spirit of God is never without His gifts; thus, for the Spirit to be in you, the gifts must be in you. Although you may
function in some gifts higher and faster than others because of your calling or spiritual office (which you will discover as
you continue to serve God and His saints), you have been given the Spirit, and you can manifest all His gifts! And I mean
all!!

As soon as you receive Jesus, you must go out for evangelism and win souls for the Lord. You must begin to join the
church in prayers and every other activity. As you preach the gospel, never run away from a sick fellow! Heal them in
Jesus' name!

Don't be distracted by your good actions or some wrong ones you are still working on. We all have issues we are working on,
but as we manifest the fruits of the Spirit, we grow deeper in godly character. Don't assume you must be perfect in actions
before preaching the gospel! No! Go ahead and preach the gospel as God's son, even as you strive to walk in His characters.
As you reach others, you will walk more in godly fruit and flow more in His gifts.

Focus on what Jesus has done to make you God's righteousness and be focused on the power He has given you, don't forget
that God's Spirit is a gift; your greatest good work cannot earn Him, we have received Him by grace, and we must minister
this grace to others!

“And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us,
as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?”
- Acts 3:12

“And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath
given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”
- Acts 3:16

Also;

“He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by
the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Galatians 3:5-6

The apostles did miracles because they believed in the Lord and the power of His Spirit. They didn't depend on their
morality! Depend on the Spirit too! You have believed the gospel, you can do the glorious things believers do!

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good,
and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” - Acts 10:38

The same Spirit by which Jesus did all these wonders is in you now! Use this power with boldness! You are powerful now!
Not tomorrow, now!

”Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that
will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” - John 14:12-13

Are you amazed that Jesus raised the dead and healed all sick? Well, Jesus says you will do greater, I will do greater, we
need to take Him at His word and believe Him!

As you walk in these gifts, you must also walk in the fruit of the Spirit! The Bible doesn't rate one over the other, they are
both God's gifts to us, and we must walk in them! Now that you are saved, the world out there expects your character to
have changed, and yes, beyond a change, your character is now new, beyond new, it is now divine! Glory!

The sins you used to commit, you now feel uneasy about doing them, and this is the fruit of the Spirit working in you! You
have a new nature now!

11
 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain
glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” - Galatians 5:22-26

Every believer must demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit. By their fruits, we shall know them! Choose to be known by the
new fruits in your life. Choose to walk in them. Be assured they are of God; put them on, walk in them! Renounce every
ungodly action of your previous life, walk in the new life, gather with believers, and change your friends into brothers and
sisters of the same spirit as you have!

Even when you fail, even when you make mistakes, never be discouraged. As you grow in the faith, you gain more mastery
over these carnal things!

Submit yourself under the spiritual oversight of your pastors, and they will help your growth. You are new now, walk as
new! Amen.

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” - 1 Corinthians 15:33

Dissociate from friends who encourage you to do sinful things and plunge you into lustful desires. Tell them you are new
now!
Don't do this out of hatred or rage, but out of joy for your new life, and hope they will join you after observing this new
glorious life of yours.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God
with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto
you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” - 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

12
The life you have received in Christ is a blessed life! It comes with all spiritual blessings! All!

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”
- Ephesians 1:3

You see, all spiritual blessings are yours! Not one is missing!!

You are favoured! You are blessed with spiritual power, grace, mercy, virtues etc!! Name it! All blessings!

When you read the Bible and see the impact of the blessing of God on men, then you will jump from your seat and
begin to dance because blessings though invisible, are supernatural forces of visible goodness!

None of us were there when God blessed the human race to be productive and multiply, yet today; we are all still
breeding and multiplying by that word of God!

Look what happened to Abraham when God blessed him.

“And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.” - Genesis 13:2

This was after God blessed him!

“And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.” Genesis 24:1

At first, the blessings were words, but at the latter part of Abraham's life, the blessings were already tangible in all
things! I assure you, dear brother and sister, that you are in Christ and blessed!

This book is too small to discuss how blessed we are.

In the Bible, just favour has delivered to men great riches and abundance of resources! What if a fellow is favoured,
graced, blessed with mercy, and secure in the Lord? Etc.

Are all these blessings just for one person? Yes, that person is you!

In the Bible, when God is with people, they are supernaturally secured, directed, and provided for! We saw this in the
life of the patriarchs of old.

“And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And
his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph
found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed
the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was
a goodly person, and well favoured.” - Genesis 39:2-6

Look what the presence of God with a man attracts. Such goodness! Such favour! Such majestic provisions and
prosperity, even in strange lands, even under the wrong conditions, even with family hatred and terrible assaults
against his or her destiny!

We see the result of God's blessings!

Look what happened when God directed Isaac.

“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man
waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds,
and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him………
And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt
us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have
done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.”
- Genesis 26:12-14 ,28-29

Look at the abundance, look at the favour, and look at the prosperity. Even his enemies called him the blessed of the
Lord; they knew his progress was not natural. This is your portion in Christ! You thrive despite opposition!

God is with you, and he prospers you in every way!

Your business is blessed, your family, your home, your mind, you are all-around fruitful, says God! You have to
receive this new glorious understanding in Christ!

13
It doesn't matter if you have been rich before you received Jesus, now you see God's abundance in ways you never
thought, and it will be without sorrow. You see satisfaction in your soul. You see your family blossom in God. You see
sicknesses being taken away as you stand in faith, you see love and joy in your home, and you see the everlasting peace
of God reign in you!

You are blessed of the Lord! You are favoured of God! You are helped by God!

Look what happened when God's presence was with the Jews in Babylon.

He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the
fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being
gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were
their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed
the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
- Daniel 3:25-28

Take your time today and read through all the great miracles that happened in the Bible as a result of God's presence
and God's blessings, it will dawn on you that your best life has just begun!

All the promises of God in the Bible are fulfilled to the man in Christ.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea
and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
- 2 Corinthians 1:19-20

You are the man in Christ.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit
of Christ, he is none of his.”
- Romans 8:9

You are the man in Christ, His Spirit lives in you; therefore, as you read through the Bible, every promise made to the
righteous man is yours! You must now go through your Bible and find out all of God's promises to the righteous man
in all areas of your life! They are yours!

You must receive them and walk in that reality! They are yours!

Choose to live a life that God has blessed today. You are the blessed of the Lord.

14
I must tell you, you need a local church. You need to be committed in the body of Christ.
When folks received Jesus in the early church, they joined the saints and fellowshipped with them in church and small
groups as the church provided.

“And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily
such as should be saved.”
- Acts 2:46-47

Again;

“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things
which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.”
- Acts 4:32

This happened even as they submitted themselves to be taught and nourished in the faith.

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers”.
- Acts 2:42

The church is never one believer; the church is rather a gathering of believers or a company of believers.

“And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And
when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven,
and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and
the people imagine vain things?”
- Acts 4:23

They prayed together! They studied together! They ate together! They were believers in one body! When one of them
had a problem, they had a family to run to in prayers.
A church is filled with people like you and me; imperfect people in character and actions, but our spirits are perfect.

Thus, don't expect perfection in all conduct from church. However, be there to serve and to love. The Lord will bless you.

Many believers are awfully disappointed in church because they had wrong expectations. The church is filled with
believers who are growing and aiming to serve the Lord more despite all weaknesses and troubles they are faced with,
thus serving with us.

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more,
as ye see the day approaching.” - Hebrews 10:25

This is an instruction we must obey carefully. To separate from the gathering is to grow cold spiritually and give room
for heretic notions and conducts.

Let me particularly invite you to our ministry, The Refinery Church International. We refine the hearts of all men until
they become products of God's love.

We are full of persuasion about our identity in Christ according to the epistles, and we are persuaded about the tangible
goodness of God with all aggression and holy passion.

We have honest and loving pastoral care, and we can assure you that you will not go amiss submitting to our authority
as you progress in this walk of faith.
