The return of the Devil

Matthew  12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.   12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.   12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. It is a good thing to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour, the new life to be experienced in Christ cannot be compared to a life experienced in others.  Identifying your life with Christ makes you number one suspect to the devil,  Your life will eventually be placed on a special project with special evil forces who will never stop day and night to track your life down to the pit of hell  Accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour, and forsaking the old n...

Jesus rejected at Nazareth

Matthew  13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.  13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. There is no doubt Jesus is the saviour, a miracle worker, and the peace on earth,  In several ways He has performed miracles, in several cities and towns, but in His own town, he was rejected...  A place where His fame should grow more, a place where He was well known, but yet they refuse to accept Him...  That didn't bother Jesus, He didn't fight or speak against them, He rather choose to leave to a place where He can be celebrated and accepted.  The fact that you are rejected at  place does not mean the problem is you, it simply means they are the problem.  You don't need to force people to accept what you preach, you don't need to force people to accept you wherever you go, What you carry is not limited to a place, if you a...

The Certainty of God's Promise

Hebrews  6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, A promise is a covenant or declaration that one will do exactly what they say or something will happen just as pledged. When God makes a promise to his people, it will come to pass, no matter the years, or time that passes.  The Certainty of His covenant and promise to Abraham made Him sware by Himself as there is no other greater than Him.  His promise to Abraham came to pass by giving him a son,  He promised Joshua to go with Him anywhere he go to, and it came to pass  As a child of God, whatever God promise you be rest assured they will definitely come to pass,  He said, though the Earth and heaven may pass, but little of His word will never go by unfulfilled because He has raised His word even more than His name.  Do not loose hope while waiting on God's promises, let your faith be increased daily, for it is certain He will fulfil His prom...

God of no Exception

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. Love is the expression of God’s image in us. God first loved us and He expects us to share this love with those who come in contact with us. Our lives must daily be an expression of God’s love. God extends His love towards anyone who seeks after it.  No matter how deep it  seems  you  go in sin, God's love will always locate you.  Having this understanding, we should always know that anyone anywhere can find their way back to christ  Jesus didn't die for the Jews alone, but for everyone...  God doesn't have an exception on culture, skin, tradition or belief, but as long as anyone believes the birth, life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, they automatically becomes God's family.  You can hate your enemy for as long as you want, but remember in a second they see and believe in the light o...

God's four days late

John  11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Many are times when the act of God remains a mystery to man, it takes only the spirit filled soul to decode little. Lazarus was sick, Jesus was called but he didn't showed up,  Lazarus who was the friend of Jesus,  at some point He will Lodge at his house after a long time of ministrations.  At some point one would wonder why Jesus didn't make a move when Lazarus was sick... The disciples thought it would be easier for Jesus than when he is dead.  We didn't understand.  Lazarus died despite having Jesus has a friend,  you also may have strong intimacy with Jesus, but when you called on Him for help at some crucial time, He didn't answer...  When Lazarus died, He had people to help contact Jesus, but yet it didn't moved Jesus...   You also have been to so many prominent men o...

Lord, Help Us to See

1 Corinthians  1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: Jesus didn't see people as losers, but as potential winners who had lost their way. He was moved with compassion for them... (Mark 6:34) He saw them through God's eyes, not weeds, but potential roses. And His perspective, which is often different from ours, brought out the best in them. Where others saw a woman with five failed marriages, He saw a restored sinner who could reach others in Samaria. They saw a blind man; He envisioned someone who could see. They saw a cripple; He pictured a man picking up his mat and walking away. They saw Mathew as a revolutionary tax collector; He saw a future disciple. They dismissed Zacchaeus as a crook; Jesus recognised a searching heart. When His disciples saw costly perfume and unnecessary expense, Jesus recognised the sacrifice of a grateful heart. Others saw an impulsive fisherman; Jesus saw a le...

The minute of Turbulence

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. Turbulence occurs when there is a disturbance in air flow. An airplane rides on the wind, and if that flow of wind isn’t perfectly smooth, then the plane will shake or move up and down with the “bumps” in the wind.  turbulence is not a danger to the safety of the flight, rather more of an uncomfortable inconvenience. So also in our daily living, we use to experience such times of Turbulence, at the place of work, in our finances, at home or in our  businesses,  Such times gives us a non-convenient situations of life, it sometimes lead to depression, lose of faith in God and even the thought of suicide.  But today God is telling you in His words that He will guide and protect you, no matter how hard the turbulence strike...  No matter how long it takes for the Airpl...

The Voice of Fear

 Kings  19:3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. The Bible says Jazebel  sent this message to Elijah: ' you killed my prophets, and now... I am going to kill you'... So Elijah fled for his life (1kings 19:1-3) Often the voice of fear comes after you have had a Mountain-top experience, Elijah had just called down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel. Then Jazebel spoke, she didn't use chariots and solders; she didn't need to, her words intimidated him, depressed him and drove him into hiding. Look out, if you listen to the voice of fear you will be afraid of the next telephone call, the next medical prognosis or the next stock market report. Who are you listening to? Who are you going to believe, God or men? Neither the wind nor the fire nor the earthquake could bring Elijah out of his cave, only the still. Small voice of God could (1Kings 19:11-13). Our fears are often the ...

God will surprise You

Isaiah  43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Can you imagine Moses surprised when God talks to him from a burning Bush? As does shut without opening. Paul is surprised by a man from Macedonia calling to him in a vision,... 'come over here and help us' (Act 16:9). Do you know that God is still the God of surprises who says, 'see, I am doing a new thing, now it will spring up; do you know perceive it? But there lies the challenge of our perception, we fail to recognise God at work, maybe you are saying,' I have prayed, claimed God's promises, done all I know to do, yet nothing seems to be working for me. ' then try this promise, 'therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you'...(Isaiah 30 :18). Notice the word 'wait', God has a plan and a timetable, many are plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpos...

How much can God trust You with?

Luke  16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? We never really own  anything, everything we have is like a loan. It was God's property before we arrived, and He will lend it to somebody else after we are gone. Our selfish culture says, 'if I don't own it. Why should I take care of it?', those who understand God's will live by a higher standard, they say, 'Because God owns it, I will take care of it even better in God's Kingdom. Those who are trusted with something valuable must show they are worthy of that trust,  The parable of Jesus about a business man who entrusted his wealth to his servants best illustrate it.  When he returned he evaluated and rewarded them accordingly.  "Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful with few things, I will put you in charge of many things, Come and share your masters happiness (Mathew 25:21). When you make the most of wha...

Understand your Problem

1 Samuel  1:5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb. Sometimes the door will open only when you understand why it was shut in the first place. Consider the story of hannah, she wanted a son, but God wanted a prophet, When she prayed, if you... Give me a son, I will give him back to you  all his life..., God not only gave her Samuel, but also six more children. When you pray for a harvest God will ask you so sow a seed. That seed may be something you love and want to cling to.  Hannah discovered she couldn't be satisfied with less than God's will, Elkanah had two wives, but he loved Hannah the most and granted  her a double portion of his possessions. But when you are not doing what you know God has fully called you to do, the love of people and material things will never satisfy you. Ordained people are not just those people in pulpits, Hannah was ordained to be a mother, You may be ordained to be a wife, a t...

Living without Regret

Acts  20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Imagine your life is over and you are standing in from of a big DVD player. God inserts a disc with your name on it labelled 'what might have been'.  It details everything He wanted to accomplish through you: how He wanted to bless you financially, but you were afraid to sow into His kingdom and generous with others...  How He wanted to use your gifts, but you lacked the discipline to develop them and the courage to use them...  How He gave you great relationships, but you weren't truthful and loving enough to maintain them...  How He longed to reproduce in you the character of Christ, but you refused to deal with your sin, resist temptation, and pursue spiritual growth... How He wanted to make the best out of you for a successful ma...

God's Customized plan for your Life

Philippians  2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. God is committed to His plan for your life, not yours, you can say 'Lord here is my plan; bless it.' He may and He may not. He created us so we can do the good things he planned for us... (Ephesians 2:10). You can't say, in this category I am doing things my way, but in that category I am led by God. Every step you take must be synchronised by the beat of the Holy Spirit. Nothing should be more important to you than keeping pace with Him. Paul writes, 'For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His purpose. God works through you as you open your spirit, engage your mind, and use your talents to do what He's already put into your heart. The moment you say yes, He gives you the power to perform His will. Note: He doesn't reveal His will, then call you. No, He called you, and as you step out and obey Him He reveals His will to you step by step. Each...

Greatness without Prayer

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: Prayer  is an evolving means of interacting with God, most frequently through a spontaneous, individual, unorganized form of petitioning and/or thanking. ... In these instances, such as with Isaac, Moses, Samuel, and Job, the act of praying is a method of changing a situation for the better Today many people see prayer, fasting as the only solution to problems, but sadly it is not  We may be faced with many tribulations and troubles, and have prayed all kinds of prayer known for, yet the story remains the same,  The first step to greatness, testimony is obedience to God's word.  God reveal the secret of greatness to Moses in the verse above, all the blessings will  come over Israel not after they ha...

Be led by God, Not man

Romans  8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Life is like a maze; it's easy to get lost. Pressure comes at us from every direction to keep others happy,  we study important people in our lives, trying to decide what they want from us and how to give it to them, and in the process we lose ourselves. You need to stop and ask, "who am I living for?, why am I doing the things I do?"  what has God called and equipped you to do? Those who succeed at being themselves don't allow others to control them because they are led by God. As many that are led by God, these are the sons of God  Don't be upset because people place demands on you, it's your life, take charge of it ; they may be coming from your own people-pleasing instincts. When you try to become everything to everybody, you get lost in the process, also when you live for people's approval, you risk forfeiting God's. It's time you start praying,... "Lord, ...

Wait on the Lord

John  2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. Many are times we looked at God in the face disappointed Times we don't want to come back the next day Times  we don't want to take a No for an answer Times we can't wait anymore for a second When we just want God to rise and save us When we are pushed to the wall, knocked down and our strength seems exhausted When it seems life is about to go out on us, But yet the response of God is "My hour  has not come" Life isn't fair, yet we seems disappointed in God who suppose to help and save in times we expect. But the good news is, when it is time and God rise to help, in just a minute you will forget all your past troubles Are you in that position of doubt and disappointment? Stand up, braise up with the little strength that remains  in you Hold your Faith and walk into your salvation Don't give up yet, When there is life, there is hope At 11:59, God can still work w...

Step back and see the Bigger Picture

1 Corinthians  16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. One day the chamber of commerce in a small town invited a successful businessman to come and speak. The local economy was bad and they were discouraged, so his job was to motivate them. He took a large pice of white paper and made a red dot in the center of it. " What do you see?" he asked the audience. One person replied, "I see a red dot." the speaker said, "fine, but what else do you see?" others echoed in, "A red dot". The speaker asked, "Don't you see anything else besides the dot?" the audience responded with a resounding no, the speaker said "you have overlooked the most important thing, you've missed seeing the sheet of paper, then he went on to explain that in life we are often distracted by small, dot-like failures and experiences". They keep us from seeing the blessings and successes that are more imp...

Salvation is not Free

Philippians  3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.  3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Free gifts are gifts given without strings attached, not every commodity has a price tag, but terms and Conditions must be strictly adhered to.  Salvation in christ was never and still not Free for man kind, though the fundamental knowledge of man says otherwise...  It cost God his only son for we to be saved  It cost Jesus Christ His life for we to be redeemed  It cost the devil the  whole of his life to fight against it  It cost the disciples their respective jobs, fame, personalities and comfort zones, persecution and even death for the message of salvation to reach you and I  Apostle Paul was able to express  all salvation cost Him,  It c...

Your Faith On Trial

1 Peter  4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:  4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Faith in God doesn't exempt you from life's trials; it sustains you in them and you grow stronger as a result of them. Trials come in different areas such as sickness, unemployment, relational conflict, and personal challenges. And trails, like storms, have different intensity levels. But most trials have one thing in common: they make you say, 'if only I could understand why this is happening.' The Bible answers this : many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all (Psalm 34:19) God is not a Santa Claus or your concierge, it's not His job to give you everything you want, exactly when you want it, He has His own time frame for everything....

Wilderness Experience

Joshua  1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,  1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Unto every wilderness experience, there must be a Joshua that will survive it.  His survival is not based on the fact that he must live, but that  he has a purpose to accomplish for God.  Moving from Egypt to Cannan was not an easy journey  They have experienced so many difficulties at some point, many died out of disobedience, but in spite all, Joshua survived it.  With the present global pandemic...  Many are dead already, many are in critical conditions  Many are afraid of getting infected  World leaders are helpless  The wise men suddenly becomes foolish  Doctors can no longer heal themselves  The d...

You can Start Again

Proverbs  24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:... Have you been down to earth before? Have you fallen  into temptation to the point of losing your self esteem in christ among believers? Christ is saying, you can start all over again. Becoming a  believer in Christ Jesus doesn't mean you are free from temptations. Such temptations are projected to weaken your spirituality, to condemn you, and finally to rip you off your place on christ. Apostle Paul was once in our shoes... He once denied Jesus, He once looked back on the path of righteousness.. But thanks to God for the saving grace found in Christ  No matter how many times you fall... You will rise again With God on your side, you can begin again because the power to do it resides within you. It's the same power that raised Christ from the dead. Don't ever give up, the devil will never stop...  The devil only win the battle  when you fall bellow the ground, but as much as you are ...

All For God

Philippians  3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Before you discover your God given purpose in life, you'll often experience a series of adversity that cause you to give up what's temporal and embrace what's eternal. Apostle Paul,  recounted the loss of every Earthly possessions... When you loose what you thought is everything to you,  that point you are  stripped down to what you had before.  Just like Job, loosing children, wealth, friends, and fame but not his character and faith in God.  When you can lay upon the altar something you thought you had to have because you realize it was God all along..  God didn't requested the death of Isaac on the alter Abraham made, but want to know if there was anything Abraham loved more than Him. Until you reach a place where you can lay ev...

It's God's Investment

Judges  13:5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Samson was a son of prophecy, a Nazarite of God, a child God himself  sent to deliver His people from the hand of the oppressor.  God so much invested in him with power to the extent no one has never recorded such in the history of man... What a great investment.  But sadly he misused the grace God gave him, dishonoured his Earthly mentor and went on his own decision to align with the enemy.  Today, you are the investment of God... The gift, the time, wisdom, knowledge and Understanding He has given you is not just for fun... But for investment.  How well have you been trading?  Truly Samson started well, but it was unfortunate he didn't end well, he rather choose to die with the enemy... Such victory is never a victory but failu...

Your God is Unlimited

Jeremiah  32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: God can solve any problem, because He is not bound by any human limitations  He is not limited  by time, God can do in an instant what would have taken years  He can speed up the natural process of your healing, He can accelerate your harvest of blessing so that you'll be sowing with one hand and be harvesting with the other  God is never limited by lack, He created all things and everything is at his disposal... He turn five loves of bread and two fishes into thousands, brought money from the mouth of the fish, and make manner to fall like rain to feed the children of Israel in the wilderness...  He is not limited by by anything... He made donkey to talk, made an Axe-head to float, and a corpse come back to life after four days, ... You definitely don't have a problem He can't solve, all you have to ...

Godliness

Godliness 1 Timothy  4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. Jesus lives a selfless and sacrificial life while on Earth, His death brought life, His resurrection gave birth to our salvation. Know Jesus is not enough, but living His life, walking His ways and doing His words is the prerequisite of ending well with Him. For His death and resurrection to make meaning in our life, we need Godliness.. NO higher compliment can be paid to a Christian than to call him a godly person. He might be a conscientious parent, a zealous church worker, a dynamic spokesman for Christ, or a talented Christian leader; but none of these things matters if, at the same time, he is not a godly person. godliness is no optional spiritual luxury for a few quaint Christians of a bygone era or for some group of super saints of today. It is both the privilege and duty of every Christian to pursue...

God is with you, In spite of the Circumstances

Hebrews  13:5  ... for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. God fulfilled his words in the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis 39, the Bible says, "the Lord was with Joseph." But that didn't exempt him from jealousy and betrayal, or the advances of potiphar's wife, or her lies that sent him to prison. The Bible says, "They bruised his feet with feathers and placed his neck in an iron collar, until the time came to fulfill his dreams. The Lord tested Joseph's character... Joseph didn't know it, but he was in training for reigning. God wanted to see if he would choose trust over must, and obedience over expedience. Joseph was able to learn that, God is with you even when there is no evidence He is. He is walking along side with you, He is going ahead of you to rearrange circumstances in your favour. God promised to be with you... But sometimes in the plan of God things get worse before they get better. That's when you must tighten ...

You are the Virus

2 Corinthians  13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Our God is so pure that He can never be deceived by our fake religious activities, or our makeup services  Apostle Paul was admonishing the Corinthians, to examine themselves if they were not viruses in the body of Christ  A virus is a type of microscopic agent that causes an infectious disease, which could lead to death. Many Christians today are viruses in the church of God that causes infectious diseases among brethren  Just because the government announce the lockdown, you suddenly increase the prices of your old stock…. You are the virus. You are the type that spread lies about a fellow in the church of God without proper findings of the truth … you are the virus  You are the type that find every false means to make money or achieved anything, yet you come to the church and appear a...

Your Voice Is Needed

2 Kings  5:2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.  5:3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. It doesn’t matter how little your voice may sound It doesn’t matter if it’s melodious or not,  All that matters is that it is needed to be heard  Nobody knows the contribution of the little girl in that verse, who happens to be a maid, could change the life of Naaman the great warrior who has suffered many years of leprosy. It doesn’t matter if you are not a Prophet  It doesn’t matter if you are not an Evangelist, or an Apostle . All that matters is that your voice is needed in that crucial matter . Joseph was never a graduate of finance or accounting, but his little contribution saved a nation from 7 years of farming . It doesn’t matter if there are better speakers than...

The Faith of the Dead Men.

Daniel 3: 17 – 18  17. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us from out of thine hand, o king. 18. But if not, be it known unto you thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship thy golden image which thou hast set up. Can you imagine that… the 3 Hebrews were so determined on the fact that they will never bow down, nor deny the God they serve even if He refuse to save them. What a faith in an unseen God? Do you have such kind of faith? Is your faith in God not only depends on the goodies you receive from God? Is your faith not only limited in the good times? Have you not denied Gods since the beginning of the present Covid 19? Some people says there is no God, because there is no solution yet. Is your faith not tied to conditions? Is your faith not tied to circumstances? The faith of the 3 Hebrews were the faith of the  dead men… because they believed their God can choose not to save them but ...

Righteousness or Reproach?

Proverbs  14:34 Righteousness exalt a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. What builds up a nation is righteousness, Political leaders usually prescribe a military force,  a strong economy and the development resources,  improvement of education and technology. Righteousness is a nation's greatest treasurer,  righteous living determines a nation's destiny Sin brings down any nation,  when they refuse to glorify God and be thankful,  When they chose idolatry over true worship When they practiced violent,  deceitful,  and proud,  when they choose selfishness and greediness.  Sin brought to he downfall of many once-proud empires The Babylonian Empire The Medo-Persian and Grecian Empire The Romans Empire Neither nation nor individuals can sin and win (number 32:23) How can we make a difference today? National exaltation depends on how individual citizens live,  A nation is blessed by righteous citizens ...

Stay Positive in this Negative World

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. We live in a negative world,  this Negative world has Many problems that characterised it.  We are affected by  the world's trouble, raging from violence,  abortion,  home  breakups, child abuse,  Hospitals, prisons among others.  But we are not to be Negative People,  we are to focus on positive thoughts and praise,  Things that true,  honest and just Things that are pure,  lovely, and  of good report. Still some Christians are Negative.... Complaining how can we ever stay positive in this Negative world? We must reprogram our thinking,  we are constantly bombarded by negative messages Though we are aware of t...

Look Up

Psalms  121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. God  places so many premiums on relationship/ fellowship, it is the purpose of man's creation , to worship and glorify him. No matter how much one may be surrounded by people, nothing worthwhile would be achieved by trusting them. Utter dependence on parents can't help. Even dependence on relatives and friend blantly fails. The best place to look is Up. Those who look to God are radiant: their faces are never covered with shame. Man's help has limitations in scope and volume, Only God's help is unlimited and inexustible. Turn to Him and wait for His help. God bless you.

The virtue of patient

James  5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. One moment of patience may prevent disaster; one moment of impatience may ruin a life. Just like a law enforcement officer who asked a driver to stop... Even if the driver has all documents required to drive on the road but chooses not to wait... That moment the driver has committed a crime.. In like manner God at some particular  junctions of our  life, he has instructed us to be patient and wait for His next direction, but our impatient spirit couldn't let us wait... Which later resulted into disaster at the end We may have every document to drive like the driver, we may have practiced holiness best to our ability, but yet God says it's not time for u to get out of that situation  We may have fasted and prayed for a particular job, but yet God...

Displaced to be placed

Numbers  14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. The land of Cannan which was a promised land to the Israelite was fully occupied by giant and great men. But that never stop God from displacing them and placing His own people there . It doesn't  matter if your promise land has been occupied , It doesn't  matter if the place you ought to work has no vacancy. It doesn't matter if your supposed husband or wife (the will of God) is currently in a relatiohip What needs to be done is God to displace some for you to be placed. Remember : Saul was displaced for David to be placed. Vashti was displaced for Easter to be placed.etc As long as you remain In God, you can never be put of place. I pray for you this morning, everyone needed to be displaced for you to be placed , God will displace them in Jesus name. Have a great day.

The Altar of Private Prayer

Spiritual Checkup

2 Corinthians  13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Christianity is not a matter of having correct opinions, feeling certain emotions, or doing certain duties. It is being able to say fruitfully, like Paul, ... Christ lives in me. It is being able to exercise Christ's character in words and in act towards men If you truly know God, you must really believe His words, and believe in Jesus Christ. Our attitude towards God can be measured by our attitude towards others. If God 's life is in you, your behaviour will show it. I pray  that God will fill you with the Spirit of faith , love and obedience in Christ  Jesus. God bless you.  

Covetousness; Cancer of the Soul

2 Kings  5:27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. 2 Kings  5:27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. Covetousness is a real problem in our society today. The Bible even declares that in the last days that perilous times would come and one of the sins of the last days was covetousness. Covetousness is a major problem in our churches today, and it is a real problem among Christians today, and probably all of us are more guilty of it than we even realize. It arises from Selfish Motivation, Covetousness comes from a heart that is selfishly motivated instead of being spiritually motivated. "The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart." Man is self-centered. Man is seeking to satisfy himself. No matter how you wish to have... It...

Determination

Genesis  26:22 And he removed from thence, and dogged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. Isaac never gave up while digging well , after he has been chased from others . Determination is the act of coming to a decision or of fixing or settling a purpose No man gets anywhere without having a set goal and determination to achieve it It is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles that may come your way. Determination is simply not giving up. No matter how hard things get, or how badly you want to just give up, you keep on ., What are your goals this year?, are you giving up already or you determine to move on ?  The numbers of time you fall do not matter, but the numbers of time you rise and never fall again Determination determines your destiny Go for it.

The Spring of laughter

John  4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. When you make Jesus the Lord of your life, God puts within you an eternal well that will never run dry.  You have an unlimited supply of good things inside you which should be continually bubbling out of you. But Satan doesn't want your joy, happiness, or laughter to flow freely. So he comes along and throws a stone of, sorrow, worry into your well. He would be back again for another stone if u fail to deal with the first, thereby blocking your well to flow . Brace up yourself with the word of God and prayer... Do not listen to the tricks of the devil I pray for you , that God will help you to deal with every stone day by day that can stop the free flow of your well. God bless you.

First to Steal , latter to kill and Destroy

John  10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Thief here is categorized as the devil, who has no other mission , than to steal , kill and destroy A little crack in the wall , can give the devil a chance to penetrate into your life . Do not give the devil a chance in your life, family, marriage etc or you find yourself to blame Do not let your carelessness give the devil a chance to fulfill his mission in your life Do not be carried away by the lust of this world,  it's a means for the devil to penetrate into your life.  Do not give in to the lies if the Devil,  they are all deceit,  which brings destruction at the end.  The devil can give you riches,  wealth,  joy and happiness,   but  it's only for a little time,  in an exchange for your life and eternity.

The Derailing Ministers of the Gospel

2 Timothy  3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. Judas Iscariot was the first to derail among the desciple... He was after prosperity.. But couldn't live to spend the money. When you see the following signs... Know for sure your pastor/prophet/ Apostle or mentor is derailing. 👉When your pastor preaches more of prosperity rather than salvation.  (prosperity is good,  but Jesus said seek ye first the kingdom of God...) 👉When your pastor promotes entertainment,  comedies,  rather than spirit filled worship, praise  and prayer.(for Jesus said,  my house shall be called the house of prayer) 👉When your pastor keep building cathedrals but take less in the business of building the Saint. 👉When your pastor cannot correct you for the wrong...

Plant now, Harvest latter

Ecclesiastes  3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; King Solomon in one of his books enphasize the importance of time and it's purpose. There is time for everything, but most of we contemporary Christians often misuse and abuse this time. Many of us have decree and declare blessing into our lives this new year... But the Truth is, if you don't work... Blessing may not come. Many people are waiting for prophets to prophesize into their lives, thereby thinking they are carying automatic blessing through the new year.... Alas.. Don't be deceived... For the prophecies to come to pass... You must work.. The Bible says Fairh without work is dead. This is the begining of the new year... Plant a seed now... Or more...  water it, prune it and come back latter for harvest Any farmer that wants to harvest without planting is surely a thief... If you wish to harvest this year... What  have you planted ...

Do not be disconnected

Matthew  14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.  14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Jesus was walking on the sea of a new day, Peter, one of the desciple beckoned to join him on the sea... It was very easy for Jesus to accept His plea, Peter was the desciple of Christ who always wish to act like Jesus, do all things like Jesus, even to die with Him. No doubt he can become such. Just as Christ said more than He did, we will do more. At the instance Peter the desciple lost focus on Jesus, he started sinking.... There must have been a connection created by Jesus that connect through Peter which makes him to walk on water.  The reason for Peter loosing focus on Jesus could not be known, but can be derived from the following fact. 1. Being proud... That yes.. He can walk on water and other desciple could not. ...
