Brighter Life Ministry

John  13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. The Saviour took upon Himself a Servant's duty,  laid down his garments and began to wash the feet of the  Disciples , Jesus is still washing people till today...  The water symbolises the he word of God,  His word keeps us clean day by day.. Peter protested,  Thou shall not wash my feet.. Peter thinks he can clean up his own life.  This is a hopeless task for him,  self righteousness and reformation does not save us from our dirt.  Only Christ can cleanse from sin.  Peter later realize he needed total cleansing...   Our feet get dirty walking in this dusty world,  so the need for constant washing. This is a call for all Christians, .  You ought to wash one another's feet.  In replica  to what Jesus did... .. We ought to f...

Proverbs  9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. What is your greatest fear? Are you afraid of the economy? Are you afraid of not not getting married yet? Are you afraid of exams? Are you afraid you are still barren? Are you afraid you don't have a male child? Are you afraid of low income? Are you afraid of the wrongs you did in the past? Are you afraid of diseases and fevers and viruses? Are you afraid of death  ? What is your greatest fear? Whatever may be your fear is still not what to be afraid of. The solution to your fear is still just another fear. The only solution is for you to have the fear of God . The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. If you want to be smart, really smart, really understand life and what it is all about- the meaning and purpose of it and how everything functions and works-if you want wisdom and knowledge, the Bible says, "you need...

John  8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Satan is the biggest Liar in Town,  He is a murderer,  he has been a murderer from the beginning,  by convincing Adam and Eve they will not die,  which through their disobedience death came to us all.  Satan delights in man's destruction,  while God delights in man's salvation.  Satan works in our society today by... .. Tempting people to murder through Envy (Cain)  ... Tempting people to murder through Lust (Herod)  ... Tempting people to murder through Greed (Ahab) ... Tempting people to murder because of positions,  and wealth.  ... Tempting people to suicide because of despair  ... Tempting people to suicide beca...

Genesis  17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. The time  he ought to have been perfect before God he was busy looking for short cuts . Have you checked your life deeply if you are not the obstacle to your greatness? Have you checked if you are not the cause of the misfortune in your family? Are you not the reason for your struggles and pain.? God is still saying , " Walk before me and be Perfect " He can still save you, if you surrender your all to him. Come back to the track of God, to. Avoid years of struggle . The last time I checked, He is still a loving father . go to him today. God bless you

Exodus  14:15  And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:  14:16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. When Moses encountered God, God did not give Moses anything new. God did not Put into Moses' hand what he did not have before. When David confronted Goliath,  he was not given a new weapon,  he was already skillful in using a Sling. It was the same Net of Peter which catches no fish that Jesus instructed him to dip Into the waters again.  The only thing God did was to bring out the potential of what was already in them.  You are already preloaded with potentials  from heaven You only need God's decree in other to lunch them into manifestation You may have tried with that talent,  but without fruitful result That well structure...

Matthew  4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Every Christian is in a Spiritual War,  our adversary is the Devil,  salvation  does not deliver us from this battle but it does equip us to win.  Temptation is a daily part of the war,  the tempter always come  when we are weak,  he came to Jesus when He was very Hungary.  Satan came up with suggestions for Jesus to turn a stone to bread,  though it was in Jesus' reach,  but it was a temptation,  Never follow Satan's suggestions,  reject them even of they sound good.  We can defeat Satan with Scripture just as Jesus did,  God's word is the sword of the Spirit to the Spiritual battle.  Satan never stop to look for other ways to win over our Lord Jesus Christ,  The fact that you prevail over one temptation does not mean the devil will not com...

Luke  9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Jesus charge His disciples never to look back on the journey of faith,  Looking back hinders forward progress,  it may be making you depressed,  as much as bringing you defeat.  Don't Look Back at Sins that have been Forgiven 1John 1:7-9 guarantees forgiveness for all sins,  God puts away our sins,  though you believe this for others but not for yourself,  but has put away your sins,  even the most serious ones of all.  Don't look Back at Defeats that get you Down.  Everyone has some defeats in the past,  But God gives assurance of lifting us up whenever we fall (psalm 37:23) so don't allow failing make you feel you are a failure.  Don't look Back at the past and see it better than it was.,  a great future will always beats a great past every time,  always believe each comi...

1King3:5,  That night the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!” The wise woman /wife knows How to get her husband's favour. Our God is in heaven doing whatever pleases Him. Before God can give u an open cheque, u must provoke Him with something. Solomon did, by sacrificing 1000 animals to God. It was a sweet smelling sacrifice they reaches the throne of God. God was moved by such wonderful and mouth wittering sacrifice to be done by just mortal. God is not partial but He does  react some of the times to our faithful, faultless and humble actions. He has many blessings in stock for as many who is ready to stand out before Him A father is always proud of a brilliant and most excelling child. you too can do same today, through your righteous,  holiness, unfailing faith, and your selfless work. Try it today, and God will surprise you. God bless you.

Ecclesiastes  1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?  1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. What do you have that others don't? What level have you reached, that you think nobody has not been there ? Where have you been to? , that you think nobody has never been there, even heaven , people are there already So why the ego, why the pride, and why do you feel nobody can never get to where you are?  Position, riches , wealth, gift are just but privilege given to you out of grace. Are you oppressing people with it or you are helping people? You may have the whole money of this world, remember nothing will follow you to the grave, that is if u are lucky . Your beauty is just for a little time, the  most beautiful girl in 1960 is nowhere to be found today . Best player do not last forever  Best student in class do not last forever ...

Revelation  22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. John the beloved was given the prophecy of the book of Revelation,  accounting the events of the last day.  We live in a time of exciting prophetic fulfillment,  Jesus is coming and it's time to get ready.  Someday it will be too late. Too late for Salvation,  now we have enough time to repent,  enough time to make merry,  enough time to pray and enough time to ask for forgiveness. But the time will soon stop,  when?,  nobody knows.  He that is unjust should continue still,  he that is faithful should continue still,  he that is corrupt should continue still,  but a time is coming when it will be too late. The blood of Jesus Christ is the only blood that can wash away our Sins,  but a day is ...

Genesis  3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. God walks in the Garden in the cool of the day,  it is time for sweet fellowship with Him,  but Adam and Eve have gone into hiding. Some people Hide from God at the Time of His Investigation  ... Where art thou? God is always seeking sinners Jesus came to seek and save the Lost. Conviction of sin is evidence God is seeking God speaking through His Word shows He is seeking God speak through trials,  preachers,  and caring friends. Hiding from God is Futile There is no place to hide from Him,  even darkness cannot hide us. Some Hide from God at the time of His Invitation Our Lord's invitation goes to all,  with His compassion  of the cross,  He said "Come unto me" Hiding from God is suicide,  but hiding in God...

Jeremiah  31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Love is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties Often times we have experience love from fellow man,  giving us a full assurance we have someone we can ever trust.  But There is no force more powerful than the love our heavenly Father has for us, his children. His love can move mountains, stop the roaring seas, heal broken bones and wounded hearts, transform lives, and set free those held captive by sin and shame. So great is his love for you and me that he sent his only Son to die that we might live through him. The blood of Jesus reaches into the depths of sin, offering freedom, pardon, mercy and reconciliation with the Father. No matter how deep you have fallen, the love and forgiveness goes deeper. That is the Dept of His love God loves you simply because he lo...

Matthew  26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. Scam is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence. Judas was one of the most trusted disciple of Jesus Christ,  yet he betrayed our Lord with a friendly kiss,  but that kiss was a scam. The devil will always come in angelic clothing,  trying to deceive the Saint,  it is all a scam Delilah appear to be a loving and caring wife to Samson,  but it was all a scam to get the root of his power.  When a leader gives you fish but refuse to teach you how to fish,  it's all a scam.  When the scriptures are manipulated to suit your desire,  it's all a scam. For the Bible says,  by their fruit,  you shall Know them Many Ministers,  Apostles,  prophets and Evangelists appears today,  all in the name of God sent,  but their real i...

Philippians  4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Our thoughts reveal who we are,  we may appear differently to people outwardly but what we really are originates from our thoughts which latter produces our actions in life.  A thought is the father of every word,  Every word that brings blessings to others,. Every word that inspires and encourages Every word that discourages and destroy Every word that cultivates hate and hurt. A thought is the father of every act..  Every act of kindness and love Every act of crime and violence. Every lustful and adulterous act. Every act of corruption and rubbery. God is very much interested in which we chose to live with in our daily lives As a believ...

John  3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Lust is  A large physical attraction for an individual, that is sometimes uncontrollable and completely unreasonable. On the other hand Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Why give your life to someone  you can't trust,  why give your love to someone who is only interested in your beauty and body? Why give your love to someone who can betray you anytime? Why give your love to someone who expect a price in return ?. Why Not give your love, life, body , spirit and soul to someone who can never betray, break your heart,...

Hosea  10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Fallow ground can be defined as a once productive ground but now lies in waste,  it was once full of abundant harvest,  but now there are weeds and wilderness Prophet Hosea could identify with the need to break up the fallow ground. ,  picturing Israel's past glory and their present sad conditions. We can identify with the need for this call also  in our time today.  Churches have grown cold and compromising Saints sit and soak while sinners die and go to hell. Our lives seems unproductive due to our spiritual laxity Fallow ground will continue to produce thorns and thistles,  roots of Bitterness and  Slothful Christians if we refuse to break it up We can break up our fallow grounds by doing the following 1. Plow of God's word.  The Bible is a mirror tha...

Ecclesiastes  3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: In so many areas of our life we often misunderstand the leading and purpose of God for us.  At a point we always try to bypass the will of God,  thinking we are working towards His choice Our God works with Time,  place and purpose respectively,  so if any of such is missing,  then you are actually not following His direction. Jesus Christ was taken to Egypt at a point in time (For security),  yet another time came for  Him to be taken out (because that is not where His purpose is) .  Abraham was told to leave his father's house and land,  it was for a purpose to bless Him.  Joseph was sent to Egypt to lead the children of Israelite to captivity as a fulfillment of God's curse on Abraham Yet,  Moses was raised to lead them out when their appointed time came,  (still on God's purpose.) It ...

James  4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. If your prayers are not answered , don't blame God. You are due for marriage yet you are engaging in sex chat. (God cannot be fooled) You pray for good home yet you engage in extra marital affair, (you can only deceive yourself not God) You pray for a good job but your heart is full of hypocrisy,.. (God cannot entrust His bless with a thief and rubber) You want God to bless you,  yet you hinder other people's blessings. (what you do is what you get) When you tell people what you are doing is normal, God will also tell you it is normal for you to remain  in that condition. The more you pray in sin, the more you delay yourself . God is not wicked. Those that must serve him must serve him in truth and in spirit The standard of God cannot be bypassed Check and balance your life , and see where you should be blame and not God. God bless you....

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise (1Corint. 1:27) Most things God does is practically not making sense Yes. Think of 5 loves of bread and two fishes to feed five thousand. A stick to sink into the water so that an axe can float on water Shouting for joy in a battle field with no weapon Shouting hallelujah for a city wall to fall down flat.. Etc Most of this does not make any sense, the scientist are yet to prove it, But.. When believed, it is called miracle, when applied it is called faith, when not understood it is called impossible , To the wise it is called foolishness, To the foolish it is called mystery But to God, it is the least in what he can do. If God is doing something and is not making any  sense to you, relax, the result will be a miracle God make senses out of no - sense. Good morning Happy Lord's day

Exodus  15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, Three days the Israelite were in the wilderness and out of water,  containers filled before leaving Egypt exhausted,  our heart needs replenishing all along the way. There was water at Marah,  but it was bitter,  we may have bitter experiences in the wilderness Israel was disappointed,  expecting all to go well,  we all have trials on the journey of life,  this trials came in the path of God's leading. Because of the bitter water,  the people murmured against Moses,  bitter experiences should not make us bitter, God showed Moses a tree,  he cast the tree into the waters and the tree made the waters sweet. The tree had been there all the time,  the tree speaks of the tree of carvery. Remember the c...

Matthew  4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. The devil is very good in engaging conversation with the believes in different areas of life. The problem is the believe  always finds it difficult to end the communication thereby giving the devil the sure way to penetrate. The Bible says,  the thief comes to still,  kill and destroy,  no matter how romantic,  sweet,  comfortable,  innocent the chat with the Devil might be,  the mission is always to destroy. The earlier you end your chat with the Devil,  the better you secure your life and destiny from devil's  mission. Eve was unable to end the conversation with the Devil, thereby falling to sin and resulted to the fall of man. Samson despite being powerful was unable to end the conversation with the Devil(Delilah) thereby made him to loose his power, vision, mission and...

Exodus  8:25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. This was a story of the Israel,  incidences preceding their exodus from Egypt.  Pharaoh will allow the people to worship God,  but he insisted they do so in Egypt,   Satan offers the same compromise today,  believes are called to a different life which separates them from the life of the world.  We are not of the world.  Go,  but don't go very far (8:28).... Pharaoh only lengthens the chain of their slavery,  so many things u must have involve yourself into,  which actually restrict your religion,  or your self will,.  This is part of the devil's trick to keep you more in bondage. Go but leave your families behind (Exodus 10:8-10)... This compromise is unacceptable,  Satan wants our families,  our families ought to serve God with us...  But so sad today,  most parents are not fully c...

. Ephesians  4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: The Bible gives us permission to be angry,  but it also suggest that anger can easily lead to sin,  and we may not let that happen,  Anger must be kept on a short period of time Some anger are appropriate,  you may be angry why your car is stolen,  when someone hurts your child,  or perverts justice,  like God Himself,  we grow angry at injustice,  prejudice and evil,  but unlike God,  our anger can quickly boil over and destroy relationships  if we don't deal with it appropriately  and eliminate it promptly.  Anger is not just about your relationship with someone else,  it's about you,  when you allow anger to be your default response to Irritation,  when you hold grudges or nurse resentment,  you actually push people away even God your maker. We need to examine ourself in light of what God sai...

Joshua  7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. Achan took what God had cursed, thereby made the Israelite to fall before their enemy. What Achan are you keeping with you  ? yours may be Fornication, adultery,  lies, malice, stealing , hypocrisy etc. No Matter how hard you pray or how much you can fast , if you still keep  Achan in your life , God will still be angry with you an His presence will not be in view If  you still keep Achan in your life,  success will be difficult, heaven will be shut,  your life will be prone to attacks from the devil.  Until you remove that Achan in you, then God can favour you. Until then,  your heaven will be open Remove that Achan today before it destroy you. May God help y...

Luke 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?  From the previous verses of the same chapter, ten men that were lepers met Jesus on His way to Jerusalem.  They cried with their voices for help unto Jesus, just like Bathemoues did, and glory to God, Jesus had companion on them.  They receive their healing when Jesus told them to go show themselves to the priest.  But at the instance of their healing, only one of them came back to thank Jesus.  These ten men most have been longing to see Jesus for healing for some years back,  They must have been to different physicians but to no avail  They most have spent all their resources in their search for healing  But after receiving their healing, they forgot who healed them  They forgot to show gratitude to the one who showed compassion on them,  Jesus asked were there not ten lepers that were healed?  Just like you toda...

Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. This is a great invitation from our Lord to everyone who is thirsty and hungry. Thirst is very common to all, we all understand this craving, we become especially thirsty in dry times, Many people make vain attempts to satisfy human thirst like, Money, possession, position and prestige, others may be Alcohol, drugs, sex, pleasure or pride  Our Lord invites us to come and drink the living water (John 4)  Water in the book of Isaiah is the common metaphor for divine grace  Come and satisfy your hunger, Hunger alerts us to the need for nourishing food, while spiritual hunger calls for the Bread of life. Human efforts to satisfy spiritual hunger fail, only Jesus Christ can satisfy this inner appetite  Come and satisfy your soul.  People search for satisfact...

John 1:46 ""And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.  So true the sight of man is limited, reason why they cannot see the laughter behind your tears.  Man can only conclude on your present condition, but your future has no definition in their dictionary. Many people might have said, nothing good can come out of your life,  Your present condition might be worse and bitter, But today as the Oracle of God, I decree into your life, in this new month of February... May good things begin to spring forth in Jesus name  May your Weeping turn to laughter  May your life become blessing and testimony to the glory of God.  God bless you. Happy new month.
