Why say this is impossible?

     Have you not heard before that with God all things are 

possible? Jesus looked at them and clearly said "with man, this is 

impossible but with God, all things are possible"(Matt 19:26) 'all' 

literally means 'all'. Jesus did not say "with God, some things are 

possible". Jesus also did not say "with God, most things are 

possible". He clearly used the word "all". Why then do we keep 

doubting God's capabilities?  The main reason we say "it is 

impossible" is because we are still trying to use our mere human 

brain to understand the process of God's supernatural power. God's 

power is called 'supernatural' for a reason. If we want to 

understand supernatural miracles done by God, then we might as 

well have supernatural minds like God. Creation itself is proof of 

the creator. In other words, the existence of the world itself is real 

evidence that God exists; else who created the world? So if you 

deny that something is possible just because you can't understand 

it, then you should deny the creation and existence of the world; 

which is impossible because the world actually exists. For 

those(my atheists friends) who deny the existence of the world 

claiming that the world took place as a result of science, my 

question is "can you explain how science created the world?" And 

even if you can explain that, do you honestly understand how it 

happened? My guess is that your answer is "No". I believe no one 

in his right mind actually understands how science could have 

created the universe. So the bottom line is that the creation of the 

world is a mystery, a mystery which christians will call a miracle. 

If the creation is a mystery, then nothing is impossible with the 

creator(God the father).

*With God vs to God: 

      Now, I would love for you to please pay attention to what I am 

about to say. Permit me to address another issue which pastor 

Benny Hinn once explained. The question he once asked was "why 

does the Bible not say 'to God, all things are possible' but it instead 

says ''with God, all things are possible"? That is a very smart 

question and this was his explanation. 'To' will mean that God can 

do all things by himself alone. 'With' will mean that we need to be 

with God in order for all things to come true. It is but obvious that 

"to God, all things are possible" because He created the universe 

alone(one trinity). So, in order to experience miracles in our lives, 

we need to be with God; because with Him, miracles in our lives 

will take place; but to Him, His miracles take place to and around 

Him alone. That is because we don't have supernatural powers and 

so we need to connect with His supernatural powers for the extra 

ordinary things to take place in our lives. Therefore, to God, all 

things are possible to God alone but with God, all things are 

possible with us(who are connected with Him). I am sorry for the 

little complication there but I hope you understood the main point. 

We must always keep in touch with God to experience all what He 

promised us(love, peace of mind, joy, success, hope, resurrection, 

eternal life in Heaven, etc.)

      Nothing, I repeat 'nothing' at all is impossible with God(Lk 

1:37). You know, sometimes we think we have fully understood all 

scriptures in the Bible merely because we have read the Bible over 

and over. But the truth is that there is more understanding to every 

verse in the Bible, more than you know.  Every statement has more 

than one meaning behind it, and it is only a matter of time before 

you discover the other meanings. Have you not noticed that every 

time you read a familiar story or watch a familiar movie, you find 

out something new? Have you not also noticed that every time you 

read a verse in the Bible and meditate on it, you discover a new 

meaning to it? That is called 'spiritual revelation'. We think we 

know the Bible but there is a difference between 'mere knowledge' 

and 'spiritual revelation'. Spiritual revelation often comes with 

meditation and a willingness to know more. When you think about 

someone over and over, it is called ‘worry’ but if you think about 

God’s word over and over, it is called 'meditation'. Therefore we 

need to meditate on biblical phrases to understand the numerous 

meanings behind those phrases. Therefore, if you meditate on (Lk 

1:37), which clearly says “for with God nothing shall be 

impossible”, you will discover that ‘nothing’ in here means 

absolutely nothing on earth. 'Nothing' as in no impossibility with 

financial difficulty, no impossibility with finding a good spouse, 

no impossibility with having a child(barren or not), no 

impossibility with getting a good job, no impossibility with getting 

healed from a terminal sickness(cancer or HIV), no impossibility 

with changing people’s lives, no impossibility with a peace of 

mind, no impossibility with joy and happiness. No impossibility at 

all. Nothing literally means 'nothing'.  The angel Gabriel told 

Mary(mother of Jesus) that nothing is impossible with God(Lk 

1:37). Mary got pregnant without having anything to do with her 

husband Joseph. How do you explain that? Is it humanly possible 

for this to happen? Our problem is that we always want to use our 

human brains to understand God's supernatural ways. Hey, I need 

to tell you man, it is killing us. We need to change our way of 

thinking(mind set) and start believing in this supernatural 

being(God). If you sincerely believe that God loves you(1Jn 4:8) 

and that He decides your destiny(including the destiny of the 

world), then you would know that all prosperity meant to happen 

in your life is decided by the same God. 

*Just believe it is well. 

     The main reason we give up is because we don’t want to 

believe. We refuse to believe that God is the God of all 

possibilities. We always want to find every natural occurrences to 

suit the human mind. That will never work. We are very 

familiar with the story of Jesus walking on water right? (Matt 

14:26). Now, because humans are always looking for a world 

explanation to suit nature, some scientists would now say that salty 

water can carry weight and therefore, the water must have been 

very salty for Jesus to be able to walk on it. If anyone believes in 

that, I would like to see someone walk on water. LOL. The bottom 

line is that we need to just believe in God and stop questioning His 

power. Searching for unnecessary proof of God's power only 

creates more doubts in our minds. We keep blaming God for not 

helping us to believe in Him. The truth is that we are the main 

problem. We keep opening the door wide open for the devil to 

come into our lives and cause more doubts and confusion. We are 

the problem because we have refused to just believe. We wouldn’t 

lose anything by just believing. Just believe in God and never give 

up on Him. 

      My cousin(Sean Akene) once told me that his teacher in class 

told him that it is much better to believe in God and end up finding 

out that He didn’t exist at all; rather than not believing in Him at 

all and finding out in the end that He actually exists. Isn't that 

smart? If you believed in God and ended up finding out that 

He didn’t exist, you have absolutely nothing to lose(besides 

needless pride) but if you never believed in God and ended up 

finding out that He actually existed, then you are in serious trouble 

because you will be in serious regrets. Now tell me, isn’t this 

logical enough? We keep questioning in doubt as follows: “but 

how?”, "how is that even possible?”, “how can I get out 

of this mess?”, “how can I have kids when I am barren?”,  “how 

can any man or woman ever look at me when I am so ugly?”, “how 

can I get my life together after all these mistakes I did?”, “how can 

I get this job when I don’t have the qualifications for it?”, “how 

can I ever win this championship when I am naturally an 

unfortunate person?”. Ladies and gentlemen, please, nothing at all 

is impossible with God. Just believe! Just believe! Just believe! It 

is well with you in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus. If any 

body tells you that there is no hope for you to get out of the trouble 

you find yourself in, smile and tell that person “I believe in 

Jesus”. If anyone tells you that you can’t be the lawyer you have 

always dreamed to be, smile and tell that person “I believe in 

Jesus”. If anyone tells you that there is no hope in finding your 

husband or wife, smile and tell that person “I believe in Jesus”. 

If anyone tells you that you will never live to see another happy 

day, smile and tell him what??? 

*We think God is not that smart:

       One of the reasons we give up in life is because we think that 

God is not smart enough to take us out of our trouble. Let us use a 

little mathematical basic reasoning.
     
       We know fully well that God formed humans from dust right? 

(Gen 2:7). So technically speaking, in order to compare with God, 

we should be able to use the soil to create a human body right? If 

you think you are as 100% as smart as God, then you should be 

able to form 100% of a human body from dust. If you think you are 

as 50% as smart as God, then you should be able to form 50% of a 

human body. If you think you are even 1% as smart as God, then 

you should able to create just 1% of a human body part; may be a 

piece of hair. Why even go to that extent? Let me go to as little as 

animals. Can any human being create just 1% of an animal body 

part out of nothing? Obviously not! Please don't mention 'cloning' 

because cloning is not the same as creating. I am not against 

cloning but we can't dare compare our little science skills with 

God’s power?  The truth is that no one can clone out of nothing. 

You need a substance from which the cloning will take place and 

that substance is the same substance that was created by the 

unshakable shaker God almighty. God created the universe out of 

nothing. No one can create a simple building out of nothing, right? 

So, having all this knowledge about God in mind is solid reason for 

you to completely rely on him. He who created the human body in 

his image is alive and has plans for you. 

       We know very well that most philosophers’ aim is to disprove 

the existence of God. The famous saint by name Thomas Aquinas 

described God as the unmoved mover. In his book “the argument 

from motion”, he explains that everything on earth is moved by 

something else. He further explained his theory as follows: 

Assuming that there are many different forces on earth and one 

force causes another force to move. When force A causes force B 

to move, then another force called force C would cause force B to 

move, then another force called force D will cause force C to 

move, and another force called force E would cause force D to 

move. This chain goes on and on until we get to the final force 

which is unmovable. This force is God's supernatural force which 

can not be explained by science. If you sincerely believe in this 

unmoved creator, then you will never give up on him.  

       Guys, God really loves us. His love is beyond any human 

explanation. God loves us so much that he sent his only one 

begotten son Jesus to go through that pain on our behalf (see Jn 

3:16). Can you send your own son to die for others? Better yet, 

would you sacrifice your child or sibling or any loved one to die 

for the sake of many? I believe the answer to that is 'no'.  But guess 

who did it? God the father. While we were yet sinners, Jesus died 

for us (Rom 5:8). How much more love do we need to accept that 

God loves us so much and is with us? Therefore, my dear friends, 

please do not give up on God but rely on him because he loves us 

so much and with him, all is well. 

                            

*For losing love ones: 

      We all have dear people in our lives whom we want by our side 

at all times. Such people generally fall under the category ‘family’ 

implying that even your best friend or co-worker could be 

considered your family because of how dear he or she is to you. 

That is perfectly understandable but if we have lost any of such 

people, we can’t hold on to that. It is okay to mourn and miss your 

loved ones but please do not give up on your self because of your 

loss. Let Jesus be your comforter. In fact, be rest assure that your 

lost one is having a very good time in Heaven with Jesus, receiving 

a peace of mind which he/she most likely was not receiving on 

earth.  Therefore, on the one hand, we can mourn for our 

loss(because we miss them) but on the other hand, we should 

rejoice for their gain(because they are resting with joy). 

       Permit me to quote this biblical verse and elaborate on it. 

“….believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and 

thy house”(Acts 16:31). What happened here is that Paul and Silas 

were in jail and the jailors came to them and asked what they 

could do to be saved? And Paul and Silas made it clear to them 

that they should believe in the Lord and that if they did so, their 

family or household would be saved as well. So I tell you my dear 

brethren, as long as you believe, your lost family is save and 

resting in Heaven. Many at times, we feel like letting every thing 

go and giving up on life because of the dear loved ones we have 

lost but there is one thing we need to bear in mind: it may be an 

earthly loss but it is definitely a Heavenly gain. Your family is 

save in heavenly places, okay? So please cheer up and do not give 

up on your life dreams or on others. Let us always keep in mind 

that there are so many people out there who depend on us in one 

way or another. So when we for any minute think of giving up, let 

us be rest assure that we are not just giving up on ourselves but 

also on the people depending on us. For example you may be a 

huge source of joy to your earthly father. Every time he sees you 

happy, he is also happy. So when you decide to give up on yourself 

and feel sad at all times, you are also killing your father’s joy. 

      Also, assuming you are a doctor or nurse and you had a patient 

with whom you were really close. One day this patient loses his 

life and then you feel really bad to the point of wanting to give up. 

It is only humane(and okay) for you to mourn and feel bad but 

please don’t give up on your career because there are many 

patients out there who depend so much on you. The moment you 

give up, many more lives could be lost and your pain will even be 

aggravated. Please rely on Jesus and he will comfort you for ever.    

       Are you familiar with the 'Ben Carson story'? This is a 

real life story of one of the best medical surgeons in USA by name 

Doctor Ben Carson. According to the book 'gifted hands' by Ben 

Carson and Cecil Murphey(2011), this gentlemen grew up in a 

poor home, struggled through racial discrimination in school, and 

was even mocked at by his school mates on a number of instances. 

"I found capping an embarrassing and painful 

experience...Capping was always done within earshot of the 

victim, and the best targets were the kids whose clothes were a 

little out of style...I was a special target"(Carson & Murphey 

2011). As you can see, Ben was ridiculed by his mates at the time 

little did they know what God had in stock for him. He went 

through much more pain and struggle but his mom was always 

there to keep him moving. "When she believed in something, she 

held on and wouldn't quit...or one of her favorites: 'you just ask the 

Lord and he'll help you'"(Carson & Murphey, 2011). Doctor 

Benjamin Carson graduated from the medical school of the 

university of Michigan after which he became a neurosurgeon at 

the John hopkins university in Baltimore found in Maryland, USA.  

He was the very first neurosurgeon to separate a pair of siamese 

twins(still babies) whose heads were joined from birth. 

       Imagine this possibility: after all the racial disfavor, insults, 

and hardship he experienced as a child, doctor Carson still did not 

give up on himself and because of this, God used him to save many 

innocent children’s lives. Among these lives include the lives of a 

set of twins in Germany whose heads were joined at birth. My dear 

friends, I tell you, don’t you ever give up. God has a special plan 

for you. 

   

                        *...with God, all things are possible (Matt 19:26) * 

   

Those with so much pain

      Ladies and gentlemen, there is a general tendency that advice is 

easily given when those giving the advice don't know what the 

others(victims) are actually going through. But in this case, I want 

you all to know that I sincerely understand what you are going 

through because, I in particular, went through a lot of pain myself.  

In fact, one of the reasons I am inspired to write these words is 

because I went through pain but I was able to overcome with the 

help of only one man; Jesus Christ. The Holy scripture says "the 

Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with 

peace" (Ps 29:11). My dear friends, Jesus blesses us with peace. 

And I write this to you to tell you that, that same peace took my 

pain and worry away. One of the most important things anybody 

can ever have is a peace of mind. So I challenge you; irrespective 

of your situation right now, open your heart to Jesus and receive 

that same awesome peace. 

*Those with job loss:

     

      PLease, don’t worry about your job loss. Okay? If you lost your 

job for no justified reason(for instance layoff, a co-worker set you 

up, on pregnancy leave, mere misunderstanding), then you were 

not destined to work for that company. Your destiny lies in God’s 

hands. Talk to Him(in prayer) and ask Him to please make His 

plan for you known. Regardless of what company or school or state 

you work for, the real employer is the creator- Jehovah. Pastor 

Creflo Dollar once said “the stock market doesn’t move God, God 

moves the stock market”. I guess that statement implies that wall 

street doesn’t move God, God moves wall street. Any private or 

public company can stumble but God always remains standing. 

Not that I wish for any bad thing(God forbid) to occur but the fact 

is that the job market in any country could go down to zero percent 

but God will always be standing. In other words, God is 

unshakable. The Bible says that in the beginning was God(see Gen 

1:1) but we fail to understand that before that beginning was God. 

God was the before-beginning, God was the beginning, God is the 

today, God is the end, and God is the after-end. So you see, God is 

all round the clock. Therefore we must solely rely on Him for 

everything in life and after life; including the need for jobs, quality 

education, spouses, houses, joy, peace of mind, love. etc. I have 

heard many people ask this question before "how did God come 

about"? Honestly, we should never ask this particular question and 

just accept who God is. The tendency is that when we keep asking 

this question, we tend to disbelieve and then our faith goes down 

the drain. It is only the devil who brings this question to mind to 

have us confused. The universe itself is a mystery, let alone God's 

existence. The human brain is too little to understand God's 

mystery and therefore, we should just accept Him and believe.   

    At 26 years of age, there was a period of time where I had no job 

for over six months and I was flat broke. The job market was so 

hard, I even applied for DC unemployment benefits(as a former 

DC employee at a cvs store) and I was denied the benefits for an 

unknown reason, I was managing in my parents basement(thank 

God for the most adorable parents), and my kid brother Nana and 

my parents were helping to pay my bills(car insurance, health 

insurance, life insurance, phone bill, student loans.etc).  At first, I 

felt really bad and discouraged about life but then, I remembered 

who I was - a son of the true living God. In other words, I 

remembered that I was a young man who had completely accepted 

Jesus in his heart and who was ready for life’s battle. So I became 

more encouraged and kicked all my worries to the curb and started 

living a very comfortable and worry-free life. Friends and relatives 

were so amazed at the fact that I was always happy even though I 

had an empty bank account. I was even happier than some folks 

with huge pay checks. That alone is a clear proof that happiness is 

from God, not from your job or bank account. I recall my cousin 

“Junior Akene” once telling me that if he was in my shoes, he 

would probably hang himself for going through a lot. Lol. You see, 

the truth is when you have sincerely accepted Jesus is your heart, 

the Holy Spirit(which is Jesus everywhere), works in you and with 

you through every circumstance in your life, good or bad. 

  

*Those with financial difficulty: 

   

     Let me begin with this by saying that financial breakthrough is 

not your hard-earned money, it is your God-earned money. Our 

heavenly father is responsible for your financial success. You 

will receive financial breakthrough in the mighty name of Jesus 

but all you have to do is declare it and receive it. Simply make 

your demands known to God and talk to Him sincerely. Even 

though He already knows our problems, He still expects us to ask 

(see Matt 7:7). God is the wise God and He has made everything 

available for us if only we just ask Him and believe. The Bible 

says that God will provide our needs according to His riches in 

glory(see Phil 4:19b). If you truly believe that God owns 

everything in heaven and earth, then you wouldn’t have the least 

doubt that He can provide. Think about it for a minute. The one 

who created the entire universe, created the human body(which 

includes many complicated body parts), created the animals, land, 

sea, water, and air; has promised to provide your needs according 

to His riches in glory. He has told us to merely ask and believe. 

How hard is that? What is really stopping us from merely putting 

this into practice? Guys, please let us not give the devil any 

chance. The moment we start worrying over little things, we grief 

the Holy Spirit that lives inside of us and make the evil spirit 

happy. Recall that all your problems bundled up together is 

absolutely nothing to God. When you worry about finances, do you 

know how God responds to that? God is like “well, I can’t help this 

one. He is worrying too much about simple finances”. Please listen 

to me folks. God can make you a millionaire overnight if He wants 

to. All He wants is for us to trust in Him and His will for us will be 

done in due time; according to His time. Have faith and see the 

marvelous things that will happen to you. Jesus said “seek first the 

kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be 

given to you as well”(Matt 6:33). Think about this sentence for a 

minute. Jesus didn’t say “seek second the kingdom of God”. He 

said “seek first the kingdom of God” and then everything else will 

follow. 

       

*Those with lost(dead) loved ones:

     There are many folks out there who have lost close relatives, 

friends, co-workers, spouses, and still feel bad and discouraged 

about life. Please do not give up. There is one true comforter out 

there; His name is Jesus. Please try him out. You need to meet the 

real Jesus and get into a personal relationship with Him; by 

trusting and believing in Him. Recall that the bible clearly says 

“Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted”(Matt 

5:4). So it is very okay and normal to mourn for your loved ones 

when they pass away. We are human and so we suffer the 

consequences of losing dear ones coupled with the fact that we are 

going to miss them for a long time until we see them in heaven. 

But here is my point. Mourning for a period of time is as far as it 

goes. Please, we can’t hold ourselves back because of our loss. 

Although Jesus implied that it was okay to mourn, He also said “let 

the dead bury their own dead, go thou and publish abroad the 

kingdom of God”(Lk 9:60). My dear brethren in the Lord, it is okay 

to mourn and miss their presence because we have lost loved ones 

but please we can’t afford to give up. When you think of 

completely giving up because of a dear friend or sibling who died, 

ask yourself this question “Would my bereaved friend or sibling 

really want me to give up on myself. As he sees me from heaven, 

is he happy with my attitude”? That is a question we should 

reflect on. If you want to give up on your life endeavors 

(job, family, friends, projects, education), and don’t feel like doing 

them anymore, don’t do them for yourself then. Do them for the 

sake of the loved one(s) who passed away. Better yet, do them for 

the sake of  Jesus. Continue with what so ever thing it is you left 

off. Do it and dedicate it to your bereaved friend, sibling, or Jesus 

and uphold His legacy on earth while you still can.  You 

can’t abandon God’s plan for you. Okay? Remember, your friend 

is in heaven resting and having fun. So please don't worry; let Jesus 

be your comfort and strength. 

       So to all those who have lost dear people in their lives, I 

challenge you to get back up and fight as kings and priests 

on this earth. God has made us kings to have dominion over this 

earth and priests to commune in fellowship with Him. Don't let 

satan pull you back; rely on king Jesus. 

*Those with marital issues:

    

     For those willing to get married, please listen to this carefully. 

To get married is very easy but to stay married is the real 

challenge. We keep saying we want God to give us Mr. right or 

Mrs. right. The real question is “are we ourselves right for the 

other”? You can’t be hoping for a future successful marriage when 

you are probably the main problem. Pastor John Hagee once said: 

“if you want success in marriage, you need to carry success into 

marriage”. Success doesn’t just come from the sky. We need to 

walk into a marriage home with a gentle heart and a willingness to 

succeed in every circumstance and come across every obstacle in 

the name of our Lord and savior Jesus. The Bible says “marriage is 

the union of one woman and one man”(Gen 2:18). This union is a 

holy consecration designed by God. Therefore, if we act in line 

with God’s word, there is absolutely no need to give up but to rely 

on Him. So, please don’t give up because your spouse is coming 

along. According to His watch, God will send you the one who will 

share in your good and bad moments. In fact, stop thinking about 

marriage and strongly believe your turn is coming. When I say 

'stop thinking about it', it doesn’t mean you have given up. No! 

The more you think of something over and over, the more worried 

you become. So, the way to go about it is not to strain or think 

about it at all. God is in control of your destiny and He will favor 

you every step of the way. 

     For already married couples, please listen carefully. You have 

got to trust in the Lord. Pastor Creflo Dollar once said that “every 

marriage needs a third party and that party is Jesus”. The only 

way a married couple will succeed is when the couple stands firm 

in Jesus. Rehabilitation is okay but won’t solve the problem, 

therapy is okay but won’t solve the problem, psychics are not okay 

and won’t solve the problem, arguments are not okay and won’t 

solve the problem, money is okay but won’t solve the problem, 

love is definitely okay but won’t solve the problem, even children 

are okay but won’t still solve the problem. You both have got to 

try somebody, his name is Jesus Christ. The only solution to any 

successful marriage is sincere trust in Jesus. I know by now, some 

married couples are saying "ahhh, this guy is talking nonsense. We 

don't know Jesus but our family is doing just fine". Let me tell you 

something. There is a difference between doing just fine and 

actually doing fine. Also, there is a difference between doing fine 

in our eyes and doing fine in God's eyes. Everything may be going 

on well in your household but if you invited Jesus, who knows how 

much better your family would be doing? Sometimes, couples feel 

like their relationship is perfect, not knowing the big trouble that is 

coming their way in the future. I am not condemning anybody or 

wishing bad things to happen to any married couple(God forbid 

that). All I am saying is that Jesus(God the son) knows every 

circumstances you will come across and He is willing to be in 

charge of your marriage if and only if you sincerely invite Him 

into your relationship with opened arms. Now, am I saying that 

married couples who trust in Jesus don't have problems in their 

lives? No! But here is the difference: A couple that has a personal 

relationship with Jesus will always have a peace of mind 

regardless of how huge their problem is. A couple that trusts so 

much in Jesus will not worry about a bill or financial difficulty or 

robbery or any problem because of the Christ who still watches 

over them. Bear in mind that when you go through struggle in life, 

it doesn't mean Jesus is dead or Jesus is ignoring you. His ways are 

simply different from ours and His time is different from our time. 

We operate in the natural realm but Jesus operates in the 

supernatural realm. I therefore encourage couples and every child 

of God to exercise much patience in God. He still got your back. 

  * the Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit  *
