Brighter Life Ministry

(Mark 2:1-12) Mark  2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. In the verse above we have four burdened men,  who cares so much about the healing of their friend. Not much was know about them,  like their names,  age,  and positions in life But we do know they were concerned about  a sick friend They believed Christ would meet his need and so they were burdened enough to go, Approaching the house with their friend in his bed,  the house was already crowded to get in.  There will  always be obstacle in our ways, This four men looked up,  and found a solution,  though costly as the roof will be broken,  but they never hesitate.... *These four men were  great stretcher bearers* How far can you go in helping others? How much can you sacrifice in securing  solutions for others who needs it. ? Many wouldn't have died,  if you had lend a helping hand Many wouldn't have be in poverty,  if you had used your influence in securi

Isaiah  41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. This is the subject that anticipate our needs in our daily life God want to trade His fellowship for your fears. ... Fear this not: for I am with thee... Fear stalks us all The four basic fears in include  *Fear of death,  fear of failure,  fear of losing security and fear of the future.* God answers all of these fears .. Death : to die is gain (Phil  1:21) ...Failure: I can do all things (Phil 4:13) ...Security: My God shall supply all your needs (Phil 4:19) ...Future: "lo I am with you always" God wants to trade His comfort for your confusion. God wants to trade His strength  for your weakness God wants to trade His Help for your helplessness God wants to trade His righteousness for your unrighteousness  Come and exchange your problems for God's solu

Esther  2:2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:  2:3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them: It was a time for King Ahasuerus to choose a new bride after Queen vashti lost her place in the palace. Just as the custom,  the king requested for beautiful maidens,  spotless,  presentable and also who are still virgins.  There should be a call to reason  as to why the  king was so specific in  his quest for the kind of bride...  This is a point to note that,  just anybody cannot stand before the king talk more of becoming the bride.  The same is applicable to God the king of kings.  If the king of this world  could be so specific,  how much  m

John  7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. For all who are spiritually thirsty, Jesus beckons, Believe, come  and drink. He who drink from this water, Spring of water shall flow from withing Him. Are you still struggling with sin? or finding it difficult to glue to your faith in Jesus? You need Holy Spirit, who can strengthen and lighten up your life all around. For inner fortification in preparation for outer manifestation, drink the water of life and be filled with the Holy spirit. God bless you.

Haggai  1:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built. What is that thing God has placed in your care to do?, and said it is not yet time. What is that work God has told you to do?, but you said you are not ready yet. How often have you satisfy yourself instead of considering God's work first ? Whenever you postpone God's work, you unknowingly postpone your blessings and breakthrough. whenever you abandon your divine post, you make yourself vulnerable and accessible to negative experience.  You may not need to take a bell, Bible and start walking the street to preach... It may be your ability to help others in need, it may be for you to change your behaviours.... Because through you character, many will be drawn to Christ. CONSIDER YOUR WAYS TODAY. God bless you. 

1 Timothy  6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. The Bible calls us to allow our convictions, not our circumstances, to govern our sense of contentment .  Biblical contentment is a conviction that Christ’s power, purpose and provision is sufficient for every circumstance. We are to learn how to walk through all kinds of adversity believing in and experiencing Christ’s sufficiency. We have to choose to rest on God’s good promises despite what may be going on in our lives. Many of us are trying to fill a void of some kind in our lives, and unfortunately we try to fill that void with things that can’t satisfy. We look to fill the void with possessions or money, but we only end up wanting more. We try to fill it with relationships or sex, but we end up feeling even more empty and depressed than when we started. All of these things we try to fill our lives with aren’t necessarily bad things, but when they become the end goals, and the reason for our being, we end up b

1 Peter  5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. Many people ask the pondering question. " can Christians today be restored to full time Christian ministry such as Peter was after denying the Lord three times?" The answer is yes. Our God is a forgiving God, He will not only forgive but also forget your past wrong doings. It is only difficult for man to bring back a betrayal friend to his/her former state... But with God, He even works better than He has done in the past. Apostle peter disappoint Jesus... Denied Him three good times, yet God still work wonders through him as the leader of the apostles. Have you disappoint God in the past?, are you living below expectation of God?, are you seeing yourself as useless after falling out of grace into the pit of sin? Do not condemn yourself yet... GOD can still make use of you, He

John  12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.  Brokenness is the process of surrender of our heart, mind, and body to Christ No seed can ever produce fruit except if it has first died to the earth and spring forht again. Only then can it yield more Fruith. To see Christ, to experience him, we need to die to self. We need to remember that we cannot train ourselves to be Christians; we cannot discipline ourselves to be saints; we cannot bend ourselves to the will of God: we have to be broken to the will of God. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to produce rain, broken grain to give bread and broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is the broken Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever. Brokenness brings Wholeness, it empowers us and makes us who we really need to be i

2 Corinthians  6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?  A yoke is a wooden bar that joins two oxen to each other and to the burden they pull. An “unequally yoked” team has one stronger ox and one weaker, or one taller and one shorter. The weaker or shorter ox would walk more slowly than the taller, stronger one, causing the load to go around in circles. When oxen are unequally yoked, they cannot perform the task set before them. Instead of working together, they are at odds with one another. Unbelievers tend to have different worldviews than those of believers. Those views include things on sin (premarital sex, morals, values, etc.) As a believer in christ Jesus, having d same yoke with an unbeliever is like an unbalance pully, no matter how well you try to make it work, it won't. You will rather be compelled to do things contrary to the laws of chi

1 John  1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: Lying seems to be a way of life for many people in this contemporary world, we feel comfortable each day living our lives in lies and deciet. One of the greatest complaints from those outside the church against those who are church members is that they are all hypocrites.  It is certainly possible that this is one of many misguided excuses for staying away from church, but is it possible that we sometimes help promote that view? Are we the ones whom the Apostle addresses when he warns against saying one thing and doing the opposite when he says, "If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth"? (1:6) If we are going to display this truth outwardly than we have to be truthful about what continues to cling to us inwardly. When we fail to recognize our own sinfulness we put ourselves in a precarious positio

Romans  8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. We are all limited in some way. We may have a physical weakness of some kind, we may be socially awkward, or we could have a weak educational background. Some people deal with past disappointments that try to hinder the development of future success.  Everyone is dealing with something. However, no one has to be limited when it comes to God’s purpose and intention for their life. Moses felt limited by his ability to speak. Gideon felt limited by his 300 men The disciples felt limited with the 5 loaves and 2 fishes Jeremiah felt like he was just a child in Jer. 1 Paul had a thorn in the flesh; admitted he was weak and trembling in I Cor. 2 Yet after the touch of God in the life of these people, they broke the tide of limitation and went beyound their initial imagination God has deposited the fruit of greatness in everyone it is left to you to grow it. If you need to break the l

1 Corinthians  3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.  3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. Foolishness is often characterised with  poor judgment or low intelligence One of the problems most Christian's face today is thinking to be wise before God. Whoever that will walk and work with/for God must be ready to be foolish for a moment. As much as the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of man, no man's wisdom can take him anyware in life. In each step we take in life we tend to predict what God will do or how He will do it, yet man can never understand In the midst of red sea, wars of pharaoh and the mountains, God told the children of Israel to be calm and watch... Foolishness. An ax fell to the river, the prophet took a stick... How foolish... Preparing 5 loves of bread an

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Countless number of times we thought in our heart that God is wicked, when we are faced with the most difficult situations of life, we thought maybe God is no more existing We most time consider our problems, sorrow, bad situations as a result of our sins, or the mistakes of our past generations. We even thought maybe something is wrong with us, when our friends and colleagues are succeeding and we are not. Our sorrow may increase even when we are righteous before God. I stand to tell you today that... Nothing is wrong with you. Joseph was placed in prison not for doing anything wrong, but for doing something right. Don’t demand to understand, you can come to a time of perplexity even though you have done nothing wrong. 1. Job was perplexed, it was for his righteousness 2. John the Baptist was perplexed while in Prison, it was for speaking the truth When you f
