Being born again
Yes, I believe in being born again. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit not one's strength or power. The Bible says that except by the Holy Spirit, no one can call Jesus Lord. So, in essence, it is by God's grace and mercy that we can get born again. And this I do by allowing Him to direct my life, take orders from Him and submit my life to Him.

Fake men of God
The Bible, in various sections, makes mention of this fact. That is to say that there are fake men of God. Just as there are angels of light, so are there angels of darkness. Today, we have many false prophets in the guise of men of God clothed in sheep's clothes but wolves in the real sense of the word. These fake men of God are actually fulfilling what the scripture says.

We need to pray for the spirit of the Most High to enable us discern between the fake and the genuine. They will always be here. But we have to go also by what the Bible says that both real and false prophets be allowed to grow, and on the last day, the false ones will be uprooted and thrown into the unquenchable lake of fire.

Miracles
Miracles are good signs of our faith in the Supreme Being. Jesus says, “without miracles, how will the people believe.” It is God's gift to the church and signs to know that Jesus is with the church. God Almighty is an awesome God and through miracles, He reveals that He has all things in control. However, one unfortunate thing is that the generation of pastors today have abused this wonderful gift. It is no longer news that many pastors go to get occultic powers to work miracles. This is a way of making themselves relevant spiritually, but it is not all Christians that can be deceived. All these do not count. What really matters is one's personal relationship with God.

Judgement
I believe in judgement. We are told that there is a day of reckoning. This is a day when all sojourners on planet earth would go to give accounts of their stewardship on earth. That day is the judgement day. God sent us here on a mission. On that day, He will require an account of our mission on earth.

Disappointments
God has never disappointed me. I think I should add that in my life, I have not heard anyone say that God has disappointed him or her. There are times when I would pray fervently and have a discerning spirit in me that God has heard me. Though my requests are not always granted often . He shows me through one way or the other why my needs were not granted. At such times, there is always an inner peace, which I often experience within me.

Devil's existence
The story in one of the books of the scriptures of the war between the devil and the angel of God (Angel Michael) confirms to us that the devil exists. He was defeated in that battle and pushed down into the world. This is why the Bible says, "woe unto the inhabitants of the earth, that the devil, the accuser of the brethren has come unto you". If anyone ever doubts the devil's existence, the story of the devil's activities in the story of Job is a good example of his existence.

Secret of happiness
The sure way to having a happy and fulfilled life is knowing God, having a good relationship with Him because He is the life fountain of joy and happiness. For me, it does not matter what the situation is, I have God as my friend, lover, brother and father. And in this way, I derive my happiness.
