Foolish steward

Matthew  25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. this was a parable of Jesus of servants given talents(gifts) by their master. but the foolish hid his own  talent. Are you not foolish with the talent (Gift ) God has given you? You aught to be helping people with the gift God has given you, but you  didn't The truth is, whether or not we are wise with our gifts, the master will still come to settle accounts with us. You may be complaining of being given little but it is enough to make exploit. One thing we should know is that   God never listen to complain. God gives according to every man's ability Search your gift today and use it for the good of humanity and the glory of God. may God open your understanding before it is too late in Jesus name. God bless you. 

Priority failure

.. 2 Kings 5:20   But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. Gehazi misplace the priority of becoming a great prophet to be a leaper, just because of present want . let me ask... the work u do, is it d one God wants u to do? the course u studied, is it d one God choose for you?.. the place you are, is that the place God wants u be?? the wife or husband u marry, is she or he God wants u to marry?  etc hear the fact. if you do d work God choose for you at a wrong place , u have failed. if u sturdy the course God choose for you at the wrong school u have failed. if u marry the person God choose for u at the wrong time u have failed. etc Our God is the God of priority and time . the time u think God has forgotten u and u want to change his plan, He is busy doing som...

God of our fathers

Deuteronomy 26:7   And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: God of our fathers, known of old— God of Abraham,  Iseac and Jacob Lord of our far-flung battle line— Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lord God known the Almighty, mighty and great in battle. God of vengeance of His people. Who says God is not working as of old?? Dividing the red sea? Raining of manner Spring of water from the rock who divided the river Jordan The fall of the wall of Jericho Supernatural fire to Elijah's prayers . etc God of our fathers still works like the days of old,  if only we can call on Him and trust Him like those of old. God bless you

God's glory in your Groaning

1 Samuel  1:10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. Many are times we wonder why God delays in answering our prayers,  So many time we even imagine why do we have to experience what we are experiencing,  despite the fact that we live a holy,  righteous, God's  pleasing life.  But little did we know that God most time intentionally wish to manifest His glory in our lives,  through what we are experiencing. God intentionally shut the womb of Hannah (1 Samuel  1:5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.) Her womb was shut,  not because she committed a sin. It was not because of any medical complication she was unable to get pregnant But her womb was shut because God have a purpose. The purpose was not that she was the most righteous.. The purpose was to find a replacement for Eli the priest.. God could have answered her prayer e...

The Living Water

John  7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. This is an invitation of Jesus to those desiring the Holy Spirit "if any man thirst" The invitation was not to those who have prayed and fasted long enough It is not to those who have prayed through  or Loud enough Not to those who have repeated  phrases of praises enough Not to those who have recently taken the sacrament. But to those who are thirsty. How wonderful to express it... Some may not know how to get religious enough Some might not be bale to reform enough Some might not understand theology enough But everyone knows how it feels to be thirsty Do you thirst to know that the guilt is gone? Do you thirst to know that the record is clean? Do you thirst for fellowship with God? Do you thirst to know more of God? Then come,  to Jesus... He will make in you,  fountain that flows. Not like the dead sea,...

Through the Red Sea

Psalms  23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. It was a joyful celebration when God delivered the children of Israel form Egypt But shortly after,  they were faced with more trouble,  which is the Red Sea. Depression came over them,  they were afraid,  though they prayed earlier,  but latter they pouted But God cane to their rescue,  mosses gave instructions. Fear not...   Let nothing win over your Strength Stand still...  A call from fear to faith See the salvation of the Lord...  Your same eyes that witnessed bad times,  is still the same that will witness good times God is bringing. Go forward...  Water was divided,  dry land was provided,  They made it through... In every situation you may find yourself,  always remember God is there with you.  Do you feel trapped in ...

Photocopy or Original?

Take a sample of yourself, and search for it in the database of God, you will see you will be the only result found . just because you are the only one in existence. You can never succeed fully, if you copy others, you can not live to the full expectation of your existence. David was a king of war/victory, while Solomon was a king of wisdom/wealth Elijah was a prophet of fire, while Elisha was a prophet of peace. John's ministry  differs to that of James. God told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:4-5. “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” Until you discover who you are, then you can fulfill the purpose of your existence Always ask God for your user manual . You are born original, don't die a photocopy God bless you. 

The wrath of God

Romans  1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; God's love is beyond our knowledge,  yet His wrath  is beyond our comprehension The wrath of God is real,  the Bible declares it,  Jesus warned : flee from the  wrath to come" The wrath of God  abides on those who reject Christ The wrath of God is revealed In the flood (Gen. 6-8 The wrath was revealed in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19) The wrath was revealed against the nations,  Against Israel in sin at Sinai Against wicked Gentile nations.  The wrath of God was revealed at the cross while Jesus took our place to save us from that wrath God's wrath is also reserved on anyone who refuse to turn from their wicked ways.  The wrath of God is real,  no sinner can escape it,  except he/she repent. Check the life you are living now,  hope u are...

Guilty Conscience

Psalms  32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. Guilt is the fact or condition of having Committed an offense,  especially a willful vision of a legal or moral code. This willful violation of moral integrity brings deep feelings of remorse You may feel guilty because you are guilty. David felt guilty because of his sins (vv3-4) Lets admit that we are all guilty before God,  Guilt feelings can have a positive effect They are like the warning signs of cancer They are like pains that warn of a serious problem They may come from an awakened conscience They may result from the conviction of the Holy Spirit You may feel guilty because you have not been forgiven David felt as though God was against him,  before confessing his sins Forgiveness was available to David,  but he had not accepted it. Our forgiveness depends on accepting God's gracious offer to sinners Even grace doe...

It's just but an opportunity

Wisdom is not just having knowledge , but the ability to use the knowledge for the right purpose at the right time. Your fat account makes no meaning if you don't use it for anything. How best do you make use of what you have ? Is it to oppress others or to impress others ? Are you using yours to destroy lives or to create lives Are you using yours to put smile on  faces or you make them cry? One thing you should know is that, all you have is just but an opportunity . You have it today , tomorrow you may not. Check the story of Lazarus in Luke 16:21 Your success is only measured by the smiles you put on people's face and the tears you wipe. Think of this. Who you are today is just but an opportunity God bless you.

As a man thinks so he is

Do you know , what you say have a lot of reflection on your life? If you are a positive thinker, positive things will come your ways. If you always think negative things in your heart, it will be very difficult to achieve great things. The bible says... Proverbs  23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. If you think evil, evil will come your way If you think good thing, good thing will come your way Positive  thinkers produces positive lives and living David confess with his mouth to kill Goliahat,  and so it is. Joshua and Caleb confess the land is good and they can take it... So it is for them Whatever you wish for yourself is what God will support you with. Start saying good/positive thing to yourself,  God Bless you

I am the Door

John  10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. A door is for exiting and entering,  Christ is the door to forgiveness Those who trust Him exit condemnation Those who trust Him enter justification Christ is the door to life Those who trust Him exit spiritual death Those who trust Him enter a new life Christ is the door to heaven Those who trust Him exit the road to be all Those who trust Him enter eternal life. Christ is the only door There is no other door to forgiveness There is no other door to new life There is no other door to heaven There is no other door to eternal life. Many try to find other doors: Religious door ::: baptism,  communion,  church membership Financial doors::: giving to churches or charities Doors of personal merit: good works,  honesty etc Cultic doors::: false Christ,  false doctrines All of this fail,  Christ alone is the door Christ ...

Fear: determinant of your destiny

Moving forward is never a choice for the fearful, but a must for the fearless. Those who are determined to succeed will never listen to the crowed despite all pressure which may be mounted on him. David said.... 1 Samuel  17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. Your confession will always determine your condition David confessed victory even before going to war,  and surly he became a Victor To refuse to try because of the fear of the unknown is an abuse of destiny Anyone that must move with God must be a man of faith and not a man of fear Anyone who is afraid to be can never become Kill that fear in you, and actualize your dream and destiny. Trade your fear for faith and see your life in motion with supernatural velocity God bless you.

Spiritually Infant

1 Corinthians  3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.   3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. An infant is a very young human being, from birth to somewhere between six months and two years of age, needing almost constant care and/or attention So also in a spiritual settings,  we have many christians who are still infants, (babes in Christ) even though it's been years they accepted Christ .  Spiritual infant is concerned with self rather than service  An infant is upset over the  smallest things (especially when corrected)  Some Christians have to be handled with kid gloves  They wear their feelings on their sleeves  They are like bombs... Always ready to explode  At church extra nice,  but at home explosive  At church she's ...

God's blessings demands Obedience

Deuteronomy  28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  the verse says  if and only if you obey the commandment of God, then you can receive his blessings the blessings of God do not just come cheaply as we may think, you have to pay the price *(Obedience)*. Abraham paid the price, then he became the father  of nations Joseph obeyed by not compromising his faith fro Fornication,  so He became the prime minister in a strange land  if you read psalm 23 everyday and you don't follow the commandment of God, you are only meditating the Bible. To have God’s hand of blessing on us, we must study and obey His Word always obey God's commandments for his blessings to come to pass in you I pray for you that the blessings of God will not pass you ...

Men on fire

Daniel  3:27 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. This was the story of the three Hebrews in a strange land cast into the fire because they refuse to deny their God by not bowing down to the king's graven image. They were  very different They regard not the king nor his gods,  nor his golden image Our Lord was different  too,  he was righteous in this sinful world,  He was light on a dark planet,  and His teaching demanded a different lifestyle We are to be different,  changed by the power of the Gospel They were daring,  they took their stand,  they risk positions,  job,  and friends They were dedicated to God's word for safety... But even if He won't save them,  they will still n...

God doesn't waist resources

John  6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. After about five  thousand souls has been feed conformably,  Jesus told the disciples to gather up the left over,  One would imagine why Jesus  gave the directive,  1. Before it became many,  it was the best resources they could get.  2. It will definitely satisfy the soul of many who were not present among the crowd 3. It is a blessing to the family of the boy that gave at first. Why then do you waist God's resources,? Why are you living your life as if you are the only one that owns the world? The reason some people are not blessed more than what they have now  is just because they cannot manage God's blessing .  Check your life,  actions and reactions towards God's blessing in your life.. Are u using them for the right purpose or the other way round? God's anger...

Don't argue with the Master

Jeremiah  18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. The Potter always desires the best he can bring out of the clay,  nevertheless the clay will never argue with the potter In the same view,  a patient will not argue with the doctor if he/she really wants to get healed fast.  God is the potter/Doctor who wants to bring the best out of us,  in every situations of life But sadly,  we often argue,  with the creator,  thinking we have the best plans for our life. The truth is,  we can never become the best God wants us to be,  if we keep arguing with Him,  or sorting out  plans for ourselves .  If you want to become the best God wants you to be,  surrender your all,  and let Him work on you God bless you. 

Carry your cross

Matthew  16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Many people interpret “cross” as some burden they must carry in their lives: a strained relationship, a thankless job, a physical illness. With self-pitying pride, they say, “That’s my cross I have to carry.” Such an interpretation is not what Jesus meant when He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” When Jesus carried His cross,  the cross meant one thing and one thing only: death by the most painful and humiliating means human beings could develop. Two thousand years later, Christians view the cross as a cherished symbol of atonement, forgiveness, grace, and love. But in Jesus’ day, the cross represented nothing but torturous death. Because the Romans forced convicted criminals to carry their own crosses to the place of crucifixion, bearing a cross meant carrying their own execution device while facing ridicule along the...

The city is beautiful: but the water is bad and bitter

You have the best certificate , and well educated , but yet no job, You marry the best man of your choice after patiently following God's direction , but yet no fruit of the womb . You are beautiful as a sister , well mannered and faithfully worshiping God, but yet no husband . You work day and night with all your strength but yet no profit . Your water is bad. Just as the people called unto God,... 2 Kings  2:19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. Would you rather tell God your problem than tell your friends Cast all your burden to God. He is waiting for you You shall not be disappointed. Every fountain of  bitterness in your life,  I decree it turn to sweetness in Jesus name.  Every of your labour that seems to be barren,  I decree it to flourish and become fruitful in Jesus name. God bless you

Free of Charge....

Go to the grave, then you will understand the grace of living He gave Go to the hospital , then you will understand the gift of life called "sickness free" He has showed Go to the prison , then you will know  freedom is a costly commodity  Free of charge He has given you and I,  2Timothy 1:9 He saved us and called us to be his own people, not because of what we have done, but because of his own purpose and grace. He gave us this grace by means of Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, What more can we give to this  mighty unquestionable all sufficient God. Do the best you can to always praise Him Develop  a heart of gratitude  God bless you.

Philip and the Chariot

Acts  8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. The voice of the Lord came to Philip to join the chariot of an Ethiopian man The purpose was to give meaning to what he is reading,  and to redeem His soul So also many of us are in the journey of life,  with no clue to solve the puzzles of life.  Philip was able to solve the puzzle,  and gave peace to the eunuch  through the spirit of God.  Today you need somebody like Philip  to join your chariot You need somebody from God,  to help solve  the puzzle of life.  That Philip is called divine connection That Philip is called benefactors That Philip is called destiny helpers Today I decree,  as an Oracle of God.  May God give order to that Philip prepared for your life to join your chariot and solve that puzzle for you May your life experience peace afterward.  God bless you. 

By the Rivers of Babylon

Psalms  137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.  137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. This is the picture of the experience of Jews who arrived as exiles on Babylonian soil after the terrible destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple  as a result of disobedient Then their enemy make jest of them requiring them to sing as they always do to their God Are you not also by the river of Babylon? Where you keep counting your lose Where the devil mocked  you and the God you serve Where your weapons has become useless and powerless as a Christian As a result of your disobedient to God's  instruction,  you find yourself by the rivers of Babylon As a result of your impatient to God's  will,  you find yourself by the rivers of Babylon Out of your carelessness and unconscious of the instructions of God,  you find yourself in the captivity of the Devil. Brace ...

God's Kingdom is not Cheap

Matthew  11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. You can't continue to live your life the way you want  if you want to be heaven candidate The kingdom of God has rules which must be followed to the letter. It is not a place where you can bribe to enter as it is done  in this world, It's never a place you can enter through the back door. Point to note : is your present way of life a reflection of heavenly minded Saint in Christ? Is your life working towards acclaiming that glory on the last day? Remember,  no unrighteousness will  behold that  city of God Check your life today 1 Peter  4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Think about it. May you not live to regret latter God bless you

God left without notice

Judges  16:20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him. This was the story of Samson,  the powerful,  strong man in His days,  a man God empowered from birth,   A man God raised to deliver the Israelites from the philistines,  A man God raised as a judge of His people But at a time,  He derailed from the part which God has set his foot on,  He lust away after the pleasure  of his enemy,  and definitely God's enemy.  A powerful and strong man latter become prey and powerless,  He was not conscious enough God had left Him.  So also today,  many are times we thought God is with us,  but lo,  He has left a long time ago,  Things may still go as normal, miracles may still be happening,  your gift may still be in action,  ...

A nobody, nobody noticed

1 Samuel  16:11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. David was a nobody, nobody noticed, but God knew him because God doesn’t look at the surface and He saw in David a man after His own heart. David possessed a heart of dependence on God.  He had a heart of obedience for God.  He possessed the heart of a servant  He possessed a heart of integrity And you may not think you look like much, you may not think you are very significant  among people  not many of us here will ever be celebrities or make a national Top Ten list. But what a glorious thing when the Master, Jesus takes a life that is scarred with sin and turns it into a masterpiece for Him. You are significant! God created you! He sent His one and only Son to die for you! And now He wants to...

A Life of Purpose

Proverb 12:11  A hard-working farmer has plenty to eat, but it is stupid to waste time on useless projects You have started this month, what purpose do you have ... Are you still going to spend your time on wasted projects, or something that does not matters ? It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received.  It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters, The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for. Be purposeful this month  and you will have a good result. God bless you

Worry-free Living

Matthew  6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?  6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Take mo thought for your life,  stop worrying about survival Put away anxiety over daily provisions,  has God not provided food and clothing in the past? God feeds the birds,  they do not sow or reap,  they never harvest and store up food yet God feed them God cloths the flowers,  they are not making petals,  yet God makes them beautiful every year You are much more important than birds or flowers... You are the object of God's love and attention. Look above you,  your heavenly Father knows,  nothing takes God by surprise While you are w...
