Brighter Life Ministry

Joshua  6:20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Jericho stands in the way of the Israelite,  it's a strong,  walled city,  very difficult for man to pull down.  Human reasoning could provide the option of scaling the  walls,  beat down  the gates or tunnel underneath at night. But Faith gave an alternative,  with a master plan,, compass the city once a day for six days,  the seventh day,  compass the city seven times and she  the priest blow their ram's horns all are to shout_.  How strange and foolish would this plan be to everyone,  but obedience in faith always brings victory.  . What is your Greatest obstacle? Expect to overcome thro...

No matter number of years you lived on earth, it's just 6feet bellow if privileged No matter the numbers  of cars you acquire , its just but 6 feet below if you are privileged No matter the number of mansions you acquire , it's just but 6feet below, if you are privileged No matter how hard you try to acquire wealth . it's just but 6 feet below if you are privileged . No matter how hard you try to acquire power, position and fame , it's just but 6 feet below if you are privileged But Mark  8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? If you die without accepting Christ, where do you think you will open your eyes to, when death shall closes your eyes. Accept Jesus today . its your hope of life after death. May you not regret of coming to this world

Psalms  84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. God have in stock so many blessings fir His children All  this blessing makes no meaning in heaven but in thus world But only those who walk uprightly according to His will and commandment can enjoy these blessings You only do yourself good,  when you obey God's word Blessing,  favour,  glory,  breakthrough,  all round success are readily available only those who can be upright before Him Don't prolong your blessings,  turn to God now,  in other to enjoy His fatherly love  God bless you. 

Genesis  12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: God took Abram out of where he was,  to where he suppose to be for success some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected. &-Stephen_Jobs. Many people will not grow not until you take them to where cultivation is done . The places you are may not be the best place you are destined to be.  You may not experience some success not until you move out of where you are.  Change your orientation to get new ideas. God bless you

Exodus  3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.  3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. Moses was sensitive to the mystery behind the bush burning but not consumed...  In the process had an encounter with God.  During his encounter with God,  he was given a commission and mandate to lead the children of Israel,  thus His life never remain the same afterwards. Many  christians today fast,  pray,  even go to mountain for one miracle or the other but finds it difficult to be sensitive to God's presence when  He visit.  We are too carried away by our daily routing,  we are too occupied by our religious activities, thereby making us loose our Blessings from God.  Abraham was sensitive to  God's presence among the str...

Psalms  119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. When you say "it's impossible",  God says,...  "what is impossible with men is possible with God."  (Luke 18:27) When you say "I'm exhausted."  He say... "But those who wait on the Lord,  shall renew their strength... (Isaiah 40:31) You say" Nobody loves me." He says...  "I have loved you with everlasting love"...  (Jeremiah 31:3) You say "I can't go on.  He says... "my grace is sufficient for you"... (2 Corinthians 12:9) You say "I don't know what to do"..  He say "and He shall direct your paths"  (proverbs 3:6) When you say "I can't do it"...  He say" I can do all things through Christ who ...

Romans 8:1   There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. As it is written,  no condemnation for those that walk in spirit. which means in every area of your life,  there is no condemnation for you. Children of God can never  be condemned anywhere they go. As long as you stay in Christ,  there can never be condemnation for you.  You are too connected to be condemned. God bless u very plenty. Happy Lord's day

1 Samuel  16:18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. David didn't suddenly become an expert marksman with a slingshot when Goliath showed up,  or a master harpist when King  Saul invited him to the palace. He took the long,  slow,  disciplined route. David had no idea what his future held,  he simply found joy and fulfilment in discovering and developing his gifts.  Your greatest obstacle to personal growth isn't ignorance; it's the illusion of knowledge It's in believing you have arrived,  when that happens,  you are done  growing. David's brothers knew his skills,  yet none of them told King Saul about him. Be encouraged,  you will get there without them,  Then one of Saul's servants said,  "Look,...

Philippians  2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. A Conduit is a channel through which things like water and electricity move from one point to another,  and you are God's Conduit. You are designed to be a free-flowing channel for Jesus Christ Himself. God has chosen you to be His "Change Agent" in the earth. Jesus no long walks among us physically,  but He has given us mandate and all the power we need to carry it out.  Scientist tell us that the greatest metal Conduit is pure gold.  Certain obstacles can block our inability to receive and be Conduits for God.  If our hearts are hard,  our wires are down If we are unaware of our identity as Conduit,  we go through life without tapping into the power God has given us.  We must be full of the word of God,  and most importantly,  spend time in intimacy with the Lord in other to be God's Conduit.  Be a channel t...

James  5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. Saying what you mean is just the beginning,  Meaning what you say is the next step.. When you say it stick to it,  if you don't intend to,  don't say it. We train others how to handle us,  by how we handle them. If we promise to discipline our kids but don't,  we are training them to ignore our instructions.  If our anger outburst intimidate others,  we are training them to be defensive around us or to avoid us.  People who don't keep their words are people without integrity,  They are less taken serious even when  they are mean their words.  Break this negative patterns in your life and enjoy a new life of positiveness.  What you won't do,  don't say it.  What you can't give,  don't prom...

Matthew  20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Jesus told the story of a farmer who hired day labourers,  some at 6am, some at 9am, and some at 12noon, Some at 3pm and some at 5pm, one hour before quitting time,  amazingly,  he paid them all the same wage. When the complaints started flying,  the farmer said,  I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.  Men may not pay a day's wage to one hour worker,  but God does.  Deathbed converts and lifelong saints enter heaven by the same gate. They don't enjoy the same reward,  but they are saved by the same grace. A last minute confessor receives the same grace as a lifetime servant.  It doesn't seem fair,  the workers in Jesus story complained too.  So the farmer explained the prerogative of ownership.  (Mathew 20:15). The thief on the on the cross proves that when you request grace with your dying bre...

Romans  12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; You may have different gifts,  but you must discover your core Gift and build your life around it.  David recognise himself to be more than a Shepherd,  he was a king-in-the-making. Killing Goliath only gave him a chance to demonstrate it.  Had he failed,  he would have gone back to tending sheep. What blinds us to our core Gift? >>>  focusing on our flaws.  Instead of focusing on  our strength we listen to our critics and rehearse the qualities that discourage us most. >>>Envying the gift of others... It is good to  appreciate others as long as you don't try to duplicate them.  Instead of living in somebody's shadows,  stand on their shoulders and glean from their wisdom. Be an Elisha,  ask God for twice as much as your mentor.. Un...

Genesis  12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:  No matter how skilled and creative an  Eagle can be  in flying,  it  cannot perform well in a river. If a trash is taken to the right place, it becomes a treasure. If you find it difficult to succeed in an area, change your environment,   the place you are may not be a catalyst for your destiny. Your environment has a lot to do with your destiny and success.. Abram was told to depart from his country to a place of destiny Joseph was sent to Egypt where he was able to actualize his talent in interpreting dreams thereby paving way for him. If you miss your location,  your allocation  will be withheld.. Go to where you are valued and not where you value.  Ask God for direction.  God bless you. 

Psalms  142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. People come  to church looking for light and warmth,  they want to know if we care... Good preaching and music may bring them in,  but relationship that nature will keep them coming back. You can feel lonely in a crowd People come to church with the wounds of the past,   the struggle of their present,  and the unspoken anxieties of their future,  What they want to know is,  will you love them as they are,  even if they don't fit your mould and change quickly as you would like to.  Most times our rigid structure of service keeps them from experiencing this friendship relationship from both church members and the ministers in charge. If the pastor's greatest concern on Monday is "how many people came to church yesterday"  then the Pastor need to check his heart.  This is ...

Have heard many people say, I will repent before I die, so I can enjoy myself now. Some would say , all this is just a joke about salvation. And about heaven and hell May I tell you, heaven and hell is real. Many would not have d opportunity to know when they will die, it would be good to repent now because tomorrow may be too late. Don't get to heaven before you know the truth . Hebrews  9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is no repentance in heaven but here on earth. God bless you

Exodus  20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. Moses alone knew what God's presence felt like,  and what His voice sounded like.. But the people of Israel were happy to leave it that way,  they told moses... "you tell us what God says... but don't let God speak to us directly. What could could have triggered their actions?  Probably they were afraid of what God would say which they didn't want to hear... When you haven't carried out God's last set of instructions,  it's hard to get excited about His next set. We can't claim to know God and yet finds it difficult to obey His instructions... Those who claimed they live in God should live as Jesus did. So are you contented to be an onlooker,  watching God move in the lives of others instead of accepting the discipline required to have a personal relationships with Him yourself? Many wants the gift and favour of God,  but not willin...

Deuteronomy  2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. Do you live overloaded and overwhelmed?,  like a driver who's lost his way?  Instead of stopping to ask for direction you increase your speed until you run out of fuel and end up on the side of the road.  Many  are times we fail to realise that the problem we are facing now is as a result of journey in the wrong direction of  God. Some will even quote (Philippians  4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.) but fail to know that we can not do everything we want to do,  or everything people want us to do....  But He only give us the grace  to do what He wants us to do. Going against God's will is like circling round a mountain,  such life can never progress.  If you truly want your life to manifest the true glory of God,  you need to accept your limit.  Accept that your desire is wrong and God's will ...

Philippians  4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.       No matter what’s happening in your life today, remember, you are not limited by your resources, your family or your background. Almighty God has equipped and empowered you. He has given you creativity, ideas, inventions, skills and talents. Don’t you dare settle for a mediocre life! Today, call forth the seeds of greatness within you! Today, declare that your best days are ahead. Declare that you are going further than anyone in your family ever did, that you are going to dream bigger and live higher. Before anyone put a curse on you, God Almighty put a blessing on you. Walk and live in that blessing by following His commands and stay fully committed to Him in everything you do! Your failure today,  is not as a result a of the limited physical  resources needed to succeed,  but you are limited by the faith you have in yourself and God.  If you trust...

Matthew  7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Chris Haddon Spurgeon once said that,  "Satan can make people to dance at the brink of Hell as though they were at the verge of Jordan". The reality in our environment today shows a clear contrast to what the grace of God can do. It is a fact that many who confess to be Christians are indeed at the brink of hell. Not everyone who carries the Bible,  goes to church regularly,  wears crucifix,  works in a section of a fellowship etc,  and perhaps "speak in tongue have all qualification to be a or called a genuine Christian. A  Christian is one who has been Redeemed by the blood of Jesus and who consistently live for the Lord by walking in His commandment with grace from heaven to live  life of victory over sin, self and society  (Titus 2: 11-13 ) Jesus affirms that a good tree will bring forth good fruits.  ...

Ephesians 4:31, NIV. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” Bitterness  is an extremely destructive force. It seeps into the depths of your heart when you choose not to forgive someone. The root of bitterness also causes other sins to grow upward and outward, “causing trouble” and “defiling many” other people When you harbor unforgiveness, it closes the door to God’s power working in your life. The Bible even tells us that if we choose not to forgive others, God cannot even hear our prayers.  Daily remind yourself that your sin against God, which has already been forgiven in Christ, is greater than anyone else’s sin against you and that your new standard for forgiving others is how much God has forgiven you Forgive from your heart those who have hurt you, real or imagined, intentional or unintentional Never seek revenge or make people pay for their sin ( Rom. 12:19 ). Jesus already paid for it complete...

Most times we say the lord's prayer, especially  the fist line. "Our father who is in heaven" Though we claim we have a father , but how many of us respect and honour him ? May I even ask, do God even recognizes us as his sons and daughters ? Salvation is free, but God's goodness, mercy, and favour is for those who do his will No wonder Jesus said in...John  10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: You can't claim you have a father in heaven when you live a life like a bastard here on earth.  Have you accepted God's lordship? Its not too late, accept him, and obey His commands, then it will be well with you. God bless you

Hebrews  12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, The journey of faith is like an athlete running a race towards  the finish line,  An athlete in a race will always focus on the finish line,  without minding any distractions that may come his way. As a Christian,  we are in a race,  a race of faith in God,  a race that demands total concentration on righteousness and holiness Apostle Paul charges us to keep running,  laying aside every weight that can weaken our strength in the race No matter the high huddles that may come your way,  you need to keep running the race of faith No matter the  circumstances that may surround you,  you must keep running No matter the troubles that can make you stumble,  you must keep running. There will ...

2 Kings  10:7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.  10:10 Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah. Nemesis is a source of harm or ruin: punishment administered in return for a wrong committed  A penalty imposed for wrongdoing: a punishment imposed for a violation of law. King Ahab did evil in the sight of the Lord by killing Naboth because of his vineyard,  which makes God pronounce judgment upon him.  *1kings 21:21-24* Though he prayed,  but God transfered the punishment unto his children,  which came to pass in the text above,  leaving seventy sons of Ahab to be killed in a day.  This is a point to note,   everything we do either goo...

Luke  17:32 Remember Lot's wife. Let's wife was part of the rescued single family from Sodom and Gomarah Though she could not make it to Safety, she looked back and became salt.  But why did Jesus tell us to remember her? Jesus want us to remember her for the reason that she invested her life in something that had no future God tried to get Lot's wife out of Sodom,  but she couldn't get Sodom out of her.  When  she thought of what she was leaving,  Sue looked back and turned into a lifeless monument.  When God says it's time to move,  do not hesitate,  do not become like those who walked with Him,  fire branded and power loaded, but latter turned cold and unresponsive.  Your decision have consequences If Lot's wife had kept moving forward,  she would have been  there to protect her daughters when they got to the cave,  instead they became children of abuse and victim of incest.  Remember Lot...

Proverbs  17:3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. many are times, we face problems in many ways, not that GOD is wicked but testing and refining us for a glorious work and task ahead. David was tested in the field,  before he could stand before Golahat. Joseph was tested by governing a house before given a country to rule. IN  every situation,  conditions and level of life, GOD always test our ability and standard before refining us for the glorious task ahead. Have you been tested? Are you being tested? When will you be tested? Have you failed the test of God? Are you failing the test of God? Will you fail the test of GOD.? Nothing student ever get promoted to another class without taking a set of examination. Before you can assume the rightful position GOD wants you to be, you must be Tested,  and Refined.  If you have failed the test, I pray may the grace of GOD plead on your be...

Esther  2:16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. Esther was made queen, despite being a slave. Vashti was dethroned for Esther to be enthroned . When God is at work, every human protocols are suspended , Success is not a function of struggle , but a product of mercy, grace and favour of God. Though you may not know anybody,  but you know somebody who knows everybody.  That is God. when God is taking you to somewhere, NOBODY can stop you. Every human protocols limiting your success, glory and breakthrough, i see God  suspending  them in Jesus name God bless you

Ecclesiastes  3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Every man's life is characterize by time and season. time when you  are born time u will die time to plant time to harvest. It was a time when man falls into sin. it was a time Jesus was sent to die for mankind. It is time and season for you to repent of your sins and accept Jesus into your life. whenever each time expires, there is no hope again, even grace can do but nothing. A time will come,  when the blood  of Jesus will no longer be able to redeem you ...  that is when you die. -- No repentance in the grave.     The time is now. You don't know when you will die,    But...  WHAT WILL BE YOUR END. think about it. God bless you

Psalms  119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. God's word is our unfailing guide,  our means of inner cleansing,  and the perfect time relation of God's will for our life.  Through His word we have all round good success Through the word we defeat Satan and his works Through the word of God we have the insight of God's will and purpose for our life The word inspired and strengthens our weaknesses The word of God is the light to walk through the darkness of this world. There is no limit to the understanding of God's word Even the professors of this world are yet to understand the mystery behind it.  The more you delight in the word of God,  the more you grow and triumph in this world.  Always delight in God's word,  That's the weapon to fight the battle of life.  God bless you. 

2 Samuel  12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.  12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. I wish I didn't do it was the story of David the king,  after hearing the verdict God gave him for his sins. The eyes of the sinner is always blind before committing sin,  but when the reward of sin comes,  the eyes will be wide  open. Reuben wished he didn't do it,  after his father cursed him,  not only him but his entire generation. Gehazi also wished he was not covetous,  but the  leprosy will continue to remind him he shouldn't have collected the gifts and also  lie to his master. What are you doing now,  that can br...
