Rest On a Promise

January 12, 2017

Blessed be the Name of the Lord. He is worthy to be praise and adorn. Lord we lift our Holy hands in one accord singing blessed be Thy Name, blessed be Thy Name of the Lord.// Holy are You Lord, all creatures call You Lord, Worthy is Your Name, we worship Your Majesty, Awesome God how Great Thy Are, You are God Mighty are you miracles, standing on Your Holy ground, Lord we bow and worship you.

Immortal, Invisible, Lord only Wise. Blessed Redeemer we worship You, thank You Father for blessed day you have for us to rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You Father for your faithfulness, glory be to Your Holy Name for ever and ever in Jesus Name.

Beloveth, the Lord that answers prayer will be your God indeed. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Our God is good and faithful to us. His Word are yea and Amen! We lift Him up because our lines are falling in pleasant places.

If the Lord has said it; He will also do it. All His Words are true and infallible. We not see it therefore we scared, we are afraid, but He said as far as you can see. Not only to you but also to your generation to come. (Gen 13:14-15)

That is why it is important that our fathers are strong in the place of prayer because they usually receive generational covenant for their generations to come. It is good that they walk blameless before God so that the Lord will bless them and honour them and their seeds will be blessed of the Lord (Ps 112:2).

Beloved, what are you trusting God for? What are those promises you received from the Lord? Will you trust Him that it will come to pass? It only the trustful that will see the Lord’s doing in the land of the living (Heb 11:6).

The Word of the Lord is Yea and Amen. It endureth for forever. (2Cor 1:20; 1Pet 1:25).

Let our faith be strong enough to trust and keep trusting. Don’t give up else the devil makes you a mix meat. Hold on to those Words and the hand of the Lord will bring it to pass.

“The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it.” Gen. 28:13

No promise is of private interpretation: it belongs not to one saint, but to all believers. If, my brother, thou canst in faith lie down upon a promise, and take thy rest thereon, it is thine. Where Jacob “lighted,” and tarried, and rested, there he took possession. Stretching his weary length upon the ground, with the stones of that place for his pillows, he little fancied that he was thus entering into ownership of the land; and yet so it was.

He saw in his dream that wondrous ladder which for all true believers unites earth and heaven; and surely where the foot of the ladder stood he must have a right to the soil, for otherwise he could not reach the divine stairway. All the promises of God are Yea and Amen in Christ Jesus; and as He is ours, every promise is ours if we will but lie down upon it in restful faith.

Come, weary one, use thy Lord’s words as thy pillows. Lie down in peace. Dream only of Him. Jesus is thy ladder of light. See the angels coming and going upon Him between thy soul and thy God; and be sure that the promise is thine own God-given portion, and that it will not be robbery for thee to take it to thyself, as spoken specially to thee.

Let get going:

“Do as thou hast said.” 2Samuel 7:25

God’s promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; He intended that they should be used. God’s gold is not miser’s money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see His promises put in circulation; He loves to see His children bring them up to Him, and say, “Lord, do as Thou hast said.”

We glorify God when we plead His promises. Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you the riches He has promised? Do you dream that He will be any the less holy for giving holiness to you? Do you imagine He will be any the less pure for washing you from your sins? He has said “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Faith lays hold upon the promise of pardon, and it does not delay, saying, “This is a precious promise, I wonder if it be true?” but it goes straight to the throne with it, and pleads, “Lord, here is the promise, ‘Do as Thou hast said.'” Our Lord replies, “Be it unto thee even as thou wilt.”

When a Christian grasps a promise, if he do not take it to God, he dishonours Him; but when he hastens to the throne of grace, and cries, “Lord, I have nothing to recommend me but this, ‘Thou hast said it;'” then his desire shall be granted. Our heavenly Banker delights to cash His own notes. Never let the promise rust.

Draw the word of promise out of its scabbard, and use it with holy violence. Think not that God will be troubled by your importunately reminding Him of His promises. He loves to hear the loud outcries of needy souls. It is His delight to bestow favours. He is more ready to hear than you are to ask.

The sun is not weary of shining, nor the fountain of flowing. It is God’s nature to keep His promises; therefore go at once to the throne with “Do as Thou hast said.”

Yes Lord “do as Thou hast said.” Is someone saying it right now. Are you holding God at His Word now! Beloved it will be unto you as you have pleaded.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Prayer Discovers God’s Agenda

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 11, 2017

Excellent Jehovah, Wonderful Jehovah there is no one greater than Jehovah love Divine. Who is greater than Jehovah love Divine, there is no one greater than Jehovah.// Come and see what the Lord has done for me, come and see what the Lord has done come and see the miracles He has done, come and see what the Lord had done.

Faithful Father we glorify Your Holy Name, we adore You be thou exalted in Jesus Name. Thank You for the gift of another day. We thank You for yet another opportunity to be everything You have made us be, glory be to your Name alone.

Beloved, another opportunity to go before the Throne and be blessed. Will you pray today? Will call upon Him? He is waiting to hear you speak and answers will be given from on high. Prayer is a mode of worship.

Today, we will be considering the essences of prayer. Why do we pray? Some people use the word “labour.” Why do we labour in the place of prayer? Sometimes people ask why must we pray when God says He knows everything concerning us?

God asked us to pray though He knows everything concerning us because if you receive what you are desiring it will invoke a shout of praise. You will sing and dance because a prayer has been answered.

Do you pray with the intention to hear from God or for God to hear you? Are you praying the will of God to be done or God to endorse your will?

How persevering are you in the place of prayer? Are you easily tried out or you persevere until answers are gotten? Are you ready to give yourself unto prayer until the dews of heaven wets you from above.

Come and read more of what prayer and perseverance can do for you:

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He got up, went out, and made His way to a deserted place. And He was praying there.—Mark 1:35

It was common knowledge among the disciples that they would find Jesus praying during the early morning hours. When they needed Him, they knew to go to the place of prayer. When Judas betrayed Jesus, he led his cohorts to Jesus’ place of prayer.

Every time the Lord Jesus faced an important decision, He prayed. When He was being tempted to do things by the world’s methods instead of the Father’s, He prayed (Matt. 4). When it was time to choose His disciples, He prayed the entire night (Luke 6:12). If the Son of God required a night of prayer in order to determine the Father’s mind, how long might it take us in prayer to clearly determine our Father’s will?

Because Jesus was so often surrounded by crowds, He knew He must find a quiet place so He could clearly hear His Father’s voice. Jesus had many people seeking to influence the direction of His life. His disciples wanted Him to go where the crowds were (Mark 1:37). The crowds wanted to crown Him king (John 6:15). Satan tempted Him to make compromises in order to draw a following (Matt. 4:3, 6, 9).

Jesus knew that His mission was not to attract a crowd, but to remain obedient to His Father. It was prayer that set the agenda for Jesus’ ministry (Luke 6:12). Prayer preceded the miracles (John 11:42–43); prayer brought Him encouragement at critical moments (Luke 9:28–31); prayer enabled Him to go to the cross (Luke 22:41–42); and prayer kept Him there despite excruciating pain (Luke 23:46).

Follow the Savior’s example, and let your time alone with God, in prayer, set the agenda for your life.

“But I give myself unto prayer.” Psalm 109:4

Lying tongues were busy against the reputation of David, but he did not defend himself; he moved the case into a higher court, and pleaded before the great King Himself. Prayer is the safest method of replying to words of hatred. The Psalmist prayed in no cold-hearted manner, he gave himself to the exercise—threw his whole soul and heart into it—straining every sinew and muscle, as Jacob did when wrestling with the angel. Thus, and thus only, shall any of us speed at the throne of grace.

As a shadow has no power because there is no substance in it, even so that supplication, in which a man’s proper self is not thoroughly present in agonizing earnestness and vehement desire, is utterly ineffectual, for it lacks that which would give it force. “Fervent prayer,” says an old divine, “like a cannon planted at the gates of heaven, makes them fly open.”

The common fault with the most of us is our readiness to yield to distractions. Our thoughts go roving hither and thither, and we make little progress towards our desired end. Like quicksilver our mind will not hold together, but rolls off this way and that. How great an evil this is! It injures us, and what is worse, it insults our God. What should we think of a petitioner, if, while having an audience with a prince, he should be playing with a feather or catching a fly?

Continuance and perseverance are intended in the expression of our text. David did not cry once, and then relapse into silence; his holy clamour was continued till it brought down the blessing. Prayer must not be our chance work, but our daily business, our habit and vocation.

As artists give themselves to their models, and poets to their classical pursuits, so must we addict ourselves to prayer. We must be immersed in prayer as in our element, and so pray without ceasing. Lord, teach us so to pray that we may be more and more prevalent in supplication.

May you receive answer as you pour out your heart before the Almighty today in Jesus Name. The Lord will send help to you don’t you ever give up.

Finally, be willing to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to discover the mind of God on the issue on ground. Pray for those who cannot pray for themselves now because of the situation they are in. Lift them up in prayer.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Making a Difference

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 10, 2017

January 10

What shall I render, what shall I render, what shall I render to You O! Lord, I will exalt Your Name and shout alleluia what shall I render to You O! Lord.// We are singing unto the Lord; singing alleluia. We are shouting unto the Lord; shouting alleluia. We are clapping unto the Lord; clapping alleluia.

Father, we thank You, we bless You, we honour for Who is like unto Thee. Thank You for making it possible for us to be among the living. Great are You Lord; greatly to be praise. We are here again to worship You; to adore You for You are great. Let Your Name be praise forever.

Arise O! God and be God indeed unto us. Send Your power and Your mighty and deliver us from all evil. Stop the evil in the land Lord! Show forth Your power and rescue Your children from blood sucking demons. You are God!

Beloved, what shall you render to God as a sacrifice? God is good at all times. He is above all. He created us for His glory. He made us to fulfill destiny. He is ever precious and kind towards all He has made. Glory be to Him in the Highest.

Have you taken time out recently to ask why did God create you? Why am I opportune be where I am? Why did He place me here even when I am less qualified? Oftentimes, people miss the reason why it was this way and not the other way round. They forget that if it took God to place and preserve them in their places of work. God must have a plan for it.

God sent Joseph ahead to preserve Israel and his children from extinction. Likewise God used David to deliver the Israelite from the torment of Goliath. Esther was not left out of the survival of the Jews then in exile. When Haman came with his evil plot to eliminate all the Jews.

At a point Esther nearly miss the reason for her election into the Palace when she heard that his uncle Mordecai was going about in sack cloth. She forgot what sack cloth represents to the Jews rather she sent some cloths to him. But her uncle reminder her that if she is not prompt in her action to see the king and stop the signing of the bill into law that she is not exempted because she was also a Jew and that will not remain covered forever.

She acted fast by praying down God’s intervention and entire Jews nation were saved.

Beloved, what are you up to? What are doing with the opportunity you are given? What are doing where you are placed? Are you keeping quite because you are not affected by what is happening now even when you can do something? What are doing to stop evil around you? How are responding to situation that you can help?

Beloved, the Lord is asking you again what difference are you making with the opportunity He gave to you? The truth you must know is that He gave you that opportunity; He can also take it away. Use your gift well or it will be recall back to bless another who can stand in for the Lord. (Isa 1:17).

Be determine to make a difference, Daniel did, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego made a difference in the kingdom, will you decide today to also make a difference? Are you reading the times were in?

Join me to discover more from the message below:

Daniel determined that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or with the wine he drank. So he asked permission from the chief official not to defile himself.—Daniel 1:8

Would you dare to believe that God, who called you to Himself and equipped you with His Spirit, could work mightily through you? Have you made the connection between the time and place in which you live and God’s call upon you? World events never catch God by surprise. He placed you precisely where you are for a purpose.

Daniel did not let the temptations of his day interfere with his relationship to the Lord. He knew that to make his life useful to God he must be obedient in all things. Regardless of what the most powerful king in the world commanded, Daniel refused to compromise what he knew God required of him.

History is replete with examples of Christian men and women who believed that God would work through them to make a significant difference for His kingdom. God placed Esther strategically in the king’s court at a crucial time when she could save the lives of God’s people (Esther 4:14). God placed Joseph strategically to become the most powerful adviser to the pharaoh in Egypt and to save Jacob and his family from a devastating drought (Gen. 41:39–40).

Are you allowing your surroundings to determine how you invest your life? Or are you letting God use you to make a difference in your generation? Ask God to reveal His purposes for you and His will for your life today.

If you thinking strategically how you will make a difference still come along with me for more insight:

“I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.” Job 36:2

We ought not to court publicity for our virtue, or notoriety for our zeal; but, at the same time, it is a sin to be always seeking to hide that which God has bestowed upon us for the good of others. A Christian is not to be a village in a valley, but “a city set upon a hill;” he is not to be a candle under a bushel, but a candle in a candlestick, giving light to all.

Retirement may be lovely in its season, and to hide one’s self is doubtless modest, but the hiding of Christ in us can never be justified, and the keeping back of truth which is precious to ourselves is a sin against others and an offence against God. If you are of a nervous temperament and of retiring disposition, take care that you do not too much indulge this trembling propensity, lest you should be useless to the church.

Seek in the name of Him who was not ashamed of you to do some little violence to your feelings, and tell to others what Christ has told to you. If thou canst not speak with trumpet tongue, use the still small voice. If the pulpit must not be thy tribune, if the press may not carry on its wings thy words, yet say with Peter and John, “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee.”

By Sychar’s well talk to the Samaritan woman, if thou canst not on the mountain preach a sermon; utter the praises of Jesus in the house, if not in the temple; in the field, if not upon the exchange; in the midst of thine own household, if thou canst not in the midst of the great family of man.

From the hidden springs within let sweetly flowing rivulets of testimony flow forth, giving drink to every passer-by. Hide not thy talent; trade with it; and thou shalt bring in good interest to thy Lord and Master. To speak for God will be refreshing to ourselves, cheering to saints, useful to sinners, and honouring to the Saviour.

Dumb children are an affliction to their parents. Lord, unloose all Thy children’s tongue.

Beloved, as the Lord lose your tongue (grant you supplies) don’t keep quite. He will ask each of us what we did with our talent don’t forget that. If others are slow to take action, take yours promptly because delayed obedience may count against you as disobedience or what is the use drug to the dead.

May God grant us wisdom to be ‘Difference Makers’ in Jesus Name!

Remain blessed in the Lord!

“And God saw the light, that it was good:…

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 9, 2017

Wonderful marvelous are the works of the Lord praise be thy Lord! Wonderful marvelous are the works of the Lord praise be thy Name. Worthy, worthy King of kings of Lord of lords you are worthy! Worthy you are worthy king of kings Lord of Lord I worship you. //

Father, we thank you we worship you, we adore you, we bless your Holy Name. Thank you for Who You Are. Thank You for preserving us from all evil. Great are You Lord! Greatly to be praise Father You reign. Thank You for a beautiful day you made and said we should rejoice and be glad in it.

We adore you, we glorify your Name forever and ever. Thank You Faithful Father, we worship you forever and ever. Have Your way in our life and Your Name alone will be glorify.

Beloved, good morning, how was your weekend? Hope wonderful! We are bring your way one today an exciting topic that will make a lot of difference in your life. God the Father acknowledged it and I bet you will be a different man by time you done with this message.

Have you ever experienced the work of the Holy Spirit in life recently or ever? One of the work of the Holy Spirit is bring sanity in a disorganized or disordered situation. It bring calmness in a chaotic environment. That was the first encounter we have in the Word of God. If God used the Holy Spirit to bring calmness in a chaotic situation, what are you waiting for? I used tis particularly verse to make some kind of prayer recently and made proud to say that the Word standeth sure and faileth not.

Beloved, is there anything in your life that need calmness? You want experience peace? I employ you to use Gen I: 1 to pray and you will be amazed at the result you will have.

However, we are going somewhere. After orderliness has been restored, God did something we must learn from. He made a declaration before He began to bring forth. Before He started His venture (creation). And God said “Let be light.“

Beloved, are you seeing what am seeing? Are you sensing what my mind is saying to me? That is where we often times miss it. We fail to call down the light. Yes, that is where we usually miss it. Calling in the light that is in Christ Jesus, Who now represent Light in our own dispensation.

When the Light of Christ shone around it disperses every darkness whatever be it. And if Christ is in charge nothing will hinder what He is in-charge, praise God. That division between light and darkness is where our dominion power lies.

Come along with me as we discover more from the message below:

“And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” Genesis 1:4

Light might well be good since it sprang from that fiat of goodness, “Let there be light.” We who enjoy it should be more grateful for it than we are, and see more of God in it and by it. Light physical is said by Solomon to be sweet, but gospel light is infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers to our immortal natures.

When the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual light, and opens our eyes to behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, we behold sin in its true colours, and ourselves in our real position; we see the Most Holy God as He reveals Himself, the plan of mercy as He propounds it, and the world to come as the Word describes it.

Spiritual light has many beams and prismatic colours, but whether they be knowledge, joy, holiness, or life, all are divinely good. If the light received be thus good, what must the essential light be, and how glorious must be the place where He reveals Himself. O Lord, since light is so good, give us more of it, and more of Thyself, the true light.

No sooner is there a good thing in the world, than a division is necessary. Light and darkness have no communion; God has divided them, let us not confound them. Sons of light must not have fellowship with deeds, doctrines, or deceits of darkness. The children of the day must be sober, honest, and bold in their Lord’s work, leaving the works of darkness to those who shall dwell in it for ever.

Our Churches should by discipline divide the light from the darkness, and we should by our distinct separation from the world do the same. In judgment, in action, in hearing, in teaching, in association, we must discern between the precious and the vile, and maintain the great distinction which the Lord made upon the world’s first day. O Lord Jesus, be Thou our light throughout the whole of this day, for Thy light is the light of men.

Beloved, did you see that? Light and darkness as nothing in common therefore must be separated from one another. But sometimes people want to exist in both world and that can never be possible (2 Cor 6:17).

Disperse the darkness in your life and allow light to reign in that situation and you will see exactly what God saw at creation. Let’s go on:

“And God saw the light.” Genesis 1:4

This morning we noticed the goodness of the light, and the Lord’s dividing it from the darkness, we now note the special eye which the Lord had for the light. “God saw the light”—He looked at it with complacency, gazed upon it with pleasure, saw that it “was good.”

If the Lord has given you light, dear reader, He looks on that light with peculiar interest; for not only is it dear to Him as His own handiwork, but because it is like Himself, for “He is light.” Pleasant it is to the believer to know that God’s eye is thus tenderly observant of that work of grace which He has begun. He never loses sight of the treasure which He has placed in our earthen vessels.

Sometimes we cannot see the light, but God always sees the light, and that is much better than our seeing it. Better for the judge to see my innocence than for me to think I see it. It is very comfortable for me to know that I am one of God’s people—but whether I know it or not, if the Lord knows it, I am still safe.

This is the foundation, “The Lord knoweth them that are His.” You may be sighing and groaning because of inbred sin, and mourning over your darkness, yet the Lord sees “light” in your heart, for He has put it there, and all the cloudiness and gloom of your soul cannot conceal your light from His gracious eye.

You may have sunk low in despondency, and even despair; but if your soul has any longing towards Christ, and if you are seeking to rest in His finished work, God sees the “light.” He not only sees it, but He also preserves it in you. “I, the Lord, do keep it.” This is a precious thought to those who, after anxious watching and guarding of themselves, feel their own powerlessness to do so.

The light thus preserved by His grace, He will one day develop into the splendour of noonday, and the fulness of glory. The light within is the dawn of the eternal day.

May this light be your guide all through this week in Jesus Name. May the light of Christ form in your heart to preserve you and disperse every darkness in your life both now and forever.

Beloved, this week is declare blessed in Jesus Name. May you experience the power of light as the day go by in Jesus Name. See you on Friday with your bundle of testimonies as result of this ministration in Jesus Name. Remember, for everything God does in everyone’s life is usually according to your faith. So can your lit your faith up this moment and be blessed in Jesus Name.

Remain ever blessed in the Lord.

Help from Without

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 6, 2017

Thank You for saving me, thank You my Lord. Thank You for saving me, thank You my Lord.// Jesus You are a Wonderful God, Wonderful God You are the Prince of prince, Jesus You are a Wonderful God.

We bless Your Name Lord, we worship You we adore You for who You Are. Blessed Redeemer we thank You for Your everlasting love upon us. We are nothing aside You, Lord. We came before You with utmost humility. Father according to Your Word to us, help us we pray Thee in Jesus Name.

Beloved, are you in for the Lord’s help today? We have a loving Father. Yesterday He promise to strengthen us. Today, He is promising us a “help.“

Beloved, may Lord remember you to help you. The help that comes from man is limited, sometime they forgot or may be limited because they are mortal and they have need like you also. But today, the One Who is promising is not mortal but Immortal, He is not limited but unlimited. He is Almighty. He Name is El-Shaddai. Has He not said it; will He not do it.

He made the earth and the heaven and all that is in it. What is your need that He cannot handle? Beloved let us at this first PCL believe God, Trust in Him, that it is well with our soul and the Lord will you good as this year unfold. Praise God:

“Yea, I will help thee.” Isa. 41:10

Yesterday’s promise secured us strength for what we have to do, but this guarantees us aid in cases where we cannot act alone. The Lord says, “I will help thee.” Strength within is supplemented by help without. God can raise us up allies in our warfare if so it seems good in His sight; and even if He does not send us human assistance, He himself will be at our side, and this is better still. “Our August Ally” is better than legions of mortal helpers.

His help is timely: He is a very present help in time of trouble. His help is very wise: He knows how to give each man help meet and fit for him. His help is most effectual, though vain is the help of man. His help is more than help, for He bears all the burden, and supplies all the need. “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.

Because He has already been our help, we feel confidence in Him for the present and the future. Our prayer is, “Lord, be thou my helper”; our experience is, “The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; our expectation is, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh my help”; and our song soon will be, “Thou, Lord, hast helped me.”

Feeling pressure? Beloved ever think of calling it a quite? Come with me as we discover how to overcome demons, pressure, Satan and whatever that is putting pressure in our life. The Lord has defected it, you just have to acknowledge it and walk in the liberty that has been gotten for you. Praise God.

P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E — Ever Like Calling It Quits

After a while, who needs the pressure? Right?

Certainly that is how we feel!! But from the Scriptures it is clearly God’s intention to make pressure an integral part of the Christian’s experience:

“We (believers) must through much pressure enter into the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22)

The good news is that God is committed to walking with us amidst the pressure, offering us:

COMPANIONSHIP:

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall pressure ?… (Nothing) shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35, 37)

COMFORT:

“The God of all comfort… comforts us in all our pressures so that we may be able to comfort those who are (under)… any pressure with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God… ” (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)

PEACE AND VICTORY:

“In Me you will have peace. In the world you have pressure , but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

CHARACTER BUILDING AND AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE:

“We exult in our pressures , knowing that pressure brings about perseverance, and perseverance, proven character, and character, hope.” (Romans 5:3, 4)

So don’t let the pressure get you down! Rather, recognize its character-building qualities. Take life a step at a time… knowing that your loving heavenly Father is walking with you all the way!

God knows the best way to get our attention. Therefore let us attribute everything to Satan but as Peter the Apostle wrote and advise us to allow suffering for a while, as it will perfect you, establish, and strengthen, and settle you. Paul also wrote that pressure bring about perseverance in us with proven character and hope that maketh us not ashamed in the God we serve.

Beloved, Ps 119:173 says “Lord, let Thy Hand help me“ and so I declare today unto you let “the Hand of the Lord will help you and grant all your heart desires“ as we kick off this year in Jesus Name.

Ave a wonderful weekend and see you next week by Gods grace

Remain blessed in Lord

A Wonderful Guarantee

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 5, 2017

I will lift up my voice, I will joyfully sing not for what you have done but for Who you Are. You are the song that I sing melody in my voice the reason I live is to praise your Name.// what a Mighty God we serve. Alleluia, what a Mighty God we serve angles bow before me heaven and earth adore you what a Mighty God we serve.

Our Father in heaven, we worship you for another privilege to be in presence and hear you speak to our heart in accent distinct and clear. Glory be your holy Name. Faithful Father, we bow before your throne we worship you be thou exalted forever in Jesus Name.

Beloved, how are doing? Hope you prayed as we were instructed to do? The topic instructed us not only to pray but also to continue in it. It means that we must pray always, pray in the morning, pray at noon time also pray in the evening. It means that we must utter a word of prayer all through the day. It encourages us to pray for others outside ourselves. To look beyond ourselves and intercede for others.

When we pray we automatically accrue power from above. Our Spirit man comes alive and we live as Jesus lives, that is living in dominion. We renew our strength according to the promise of God.

Today again, the Lord is echoing same again to us “I will strengthen you.” I think someone on a sick bed will understand this promise better. Someone who is incapacitated will understand what it means to say to someone “I will strengthen you.” Praise God.

We need the gift of faith. Paul in word to us said “we should fight a good fight of faith. Are you ready to do that? Victory has been won by Jesus on the cross, all we need do is enter into the finished work of Calvary. We must bring our selves to the level we believe God for Who he is not necessary what he as done for us.

Satan knows that he is a defected foe so he work tirelessly to hinder us from knowing the truth about out salvation, our redemption, the substitution on the cross. But God did it for us through His Son Jesus Christ. O! What a Mighty God we serve.

In our faith clinic today, the Lord is saying again I will strengthen thee. Is a wonderful guarantee. Nomatter what you are passing through at this moment God is saying to you he will strengthen you to bring that vision to fruition. To be strong despite the challenges, He will strengthen you to be everything He made you to be.

Is possible you have look at what is ahead of you and don’t know how to go about it, this message is meant to do exactly that. So walk in faith and see God working it for you.

He is our burden bearer as well. Do you have any care beloved, cast it to a burden bearer- Jesus Christ.

Come along with me as we search further:

“I will strengthen thee.” Isa. 41:10

When called to serve or to suffer, we take stock of our strength, and we find it to be less than we thought, and less than we need. But let not our heart sink within us while we have such a word as this to fall back upon, for it guarantees us all that we can possibly need.

God has strength omnipotent; that strength He can communicate to us; and His promise is that He will do so. He will be the food of our souls, and the health of our hearts; and thus He will give us strength. There is no telling how much power God can put into a man. When divine strength comes, human weakness is no more a hindrance.

Do we not remember seasons of labor and trial in which we received such special strength that we wondered at ourselves? In the midst of danger we were calm, under bereavement we were resigned, in slander we were self-contained, and in sickness we were patient.

The fact is, that God gives unexpected strength when unusual trials come upon us. We rise out of our feeble selves. Cowards play the man, foolish ones have wisdom given them, and the silent receive in the self-same hour what they shall speak. My own weakness makes me shrink, but God’s promise makes me brave.

Lord, strengthen me “according to thy word.” Take my care in exchange of your peace

“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” 1Peter 5:7

It is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel—”HE careth for me.” Christian! do not dishonour religion by always wearing a brow of care; come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath a weight which your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden, would be to Him but as the small dust of the balance. Nothing is so sweet as to

“Lie passive in God’s hands,

And know no will but His.”

O child of suffering, be thou patient; God has not passed thee over in His providence. He who is the feeder of sparrows, will also furnish you with what you need. Sit not down in despair; hope on, hope ever. Take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble, and your opposition shall yet end your distresses.

There is One who careth for you. His eye is fixed on you, His heart beats with pity for your woe, and his hand omnipotent shall yet bring you the needed help. The darkest cloud shall scatter itself in showers of mercy. The blackest gloom shall give place to the morning. He, if thou art one of His family, will bind up thy wounds, and heal thy broken heart.

Doubt not His grace because of thy tribulation, but believe that He loveth thee as much in seasons of trouble as in times of happiness. What a serene and quiet life might you lead if you would leave providing to the God of providence! With a little oil in the cruse, and a handful of meal in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and you will do the same.

If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God.

Father, increase my faith in you in Jesus Name.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

“Continue in prayer.”

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 4, 2017

Blessed be the Name of the Lord, He is worthy to be praise and adore, O we lift our holy hands in one accord singing blessed be Thy Name, blessed be Thy Name of the Lord.// Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest, Lord we lift up Your Name with a heart be exalted O! Lord my God hosanna in the highest.

Father we declare that we loved You, help us to love You as You loved us. Glory be to Your Holy Name. Who is like unto thee Lord? You are worthy to be praised, forever and ever we worship You, we praise Your Holy Name for You alone is Worthy of our praise. Receive our praise O Lord as we come to your altar the first in year. Lord look with kindness up us and grant us all our heart desire as we worship today in Jesus Name.

Beloved, how are doing? Hope you are good? The new year is here and it has kick off in earnest without your permission, we are on the 4^th day and is still counting there is no break on prayer either is there any holiday when it comes to prayer as we discussed before now, living our life without prayer is like running a car without fuel or diesel or without oil which will automatically knocked the engine and you are not prepared to overhaul your engine because it might not be as easy as you think.

It will cost you a lot in terms of money and delay will be introduced as you wait on to take off again with your new engine. We have not considered the time lag that it might take to get the right engine that will suit your body praise God.

The glory of God is evident when it appear in a place of worship or in an individuals life. In many places we read in the bible where the lorry of God appeared it was recorded that the priest could not continue with his ministration because of the glory of God that filled the place.

Beloved, we must get to that level in our worship where we will experience same, when the glory of God will be heavily present and we will be able to utter a word like did Hannah, Paul fell to the round wen e encountered same (Acts 9:4); Moses tremble when God spoke to him (Acts 7:32). Solomon dedicated the temple of the Lord (1 Kin 8:11). That will be your experience today as you offer prayers to the Only Wise God.

He will come down in glory and will receive your worship unto him in Jesus Name.

We therefore encouraged to continue in prayer as there is no substitute to it and that is the only way to renew our strength in Lord and as we do that our glory will also manifest as God will not visit you without an evidence.

“Continue in prayer.” Colossians 4:2

It is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcely open the Bible before we read, “Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord;” and just as we are about to close the volume, the “Amen” of an earnest supplication meets our ear.

Instances are plentiful. Here we find a wrestling Jacob—there a Daniel who prayed three times a day—and a David who with all his heart called upon his God. On the mountain we see Elias; in the dungeon Paul and Silas. We have multitudes of commands, and myriads of promises. What does this teach us, but the sacred importance and necessity of prayer?

We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives. If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it. So deep are our necessities, that until we are in heaven we must not cease to pray.

Dost thou want nothing? Then, I fear thou dost not know thy poverty. Hast thou no mercy to ask of God? Then, may the Lord’s mercy show thee thy misery! A prayerless soul is a Christless soul.

Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honour of a Christian. If thou be a child of God, thou wilt seek thy Father’s face, and live in thy Father’s love.

Pray that this year thou mayst be holy, humble, zealous, and patient; have closer communion with Christ, and enter oftener into the banqueting-house of His love. Pray that thou mayst be an example and a blessing unto others, and that thou mayst live more to the glory of thy Master. The motto for this year must be, “Continue in prayer.”

Beloved, as you continue in prayer may your strength be renewed according to the word of the Lord be it done unto thee. Let’s continue:

“Let the people renew their strength.” Isaiah 41:1

All things on earth need to be renewed. No created thing continueth by itself. “Thou renewest the face of the year,” was the Psalmist’s utterance. Even the trees, which wear not themselves with care, nor shorten their lives with labour, must drink of the rain of heaven and suck from the hidden treasures of the soil.

The cedars of Lebanon, which God has planted, only live because day by day they are full of sap fresh drawn from the earth.Neither can man’s life be sustained without renewal from God. As it is necessary to repair the waste of the body by the frequent meal, so we must repair the waste of the soul by feeding upon the Book of God, or by listening to the preached Word, or by the soul-fattening table of the ordinances.

How depressed are our graces when means are neglected! What poor starvelings some saints are who live without the diligent use of the Word of God and secret prayer! If our piety can live without God it is not of divine creating; it is but a dream; for if God had begotten it, it would wait upon Him as the flowers wait upon the dew.

Without constant restoration we are not ready for the perpetual assaults of hell, or the stern afflictions of heaven, or even for the strifes within. When the whirlwind shall be loosed, woe to the tree that hath not sucked up fresh sap, and grasped the rock with many intertwisted roots

.When tempests arise, woe to the mariners that have not strengthened their mast, nor cast their anchor, nor sought the haven. If we suffer the good to grow weaker, the evil will surely gather strength and struggle desperately for the mastery over us; and so, mayhap, a painful desolation, and a lamentable disgrace may follow.

Let us draw near to the footstool of divine mercy in humble entreaty, and we shall realize the fulfillment of the promise, “They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.”

Pray as we have been instructed to do so that we will not row weak but rather our strength be renewed in the Lord. The journey ahead is long and weary we must girdle our loins with prayer for smooth ride.

Our Father, we thank You because You will surely answer when we call, Father answer us we pray in Jesus Name.

Beloved let us call and believe that he will answer us. Beloved, the Lord will answer us as we call today in Jesus Name.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

The Bible’s First Promise

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

January 3, 2017

Only You I will serve, only Jesus, only You I will serve I have no other God. Only You I will serve, only Jesus Christ only You I will serve I have no other God.// Every living soul, Every living soul praise the Lord. Every living soul, Every living soul praise the Lord.

Father, we grateful to You for all that You are doing in our life. Thank You for Your mercies that endureth forever. Jesus who is like unto Thee. Thank You for Who You are and Your love that endureth forever. Thank You for the gift of Jesus Christ to us and we bow to worship You now and for ever.

Beloved are you with me?. Praise God for the gift of the second working day of this year. Thank God for blessing the works of our and the grace to be useful in His Kingdom. Blessed be his Holy Name forever.

Our year of Greater Glory is secured in Christ Jesus. What an honour and privilege to you and I as God is thinking towards us for good and not evil. Blessed be His Holy Name now and forever.

We are indeed nothing outside of Christ and him is our fruit is found and sustain as He is the tree and we are the branches. Are you one of branches? Is a question we want to ask you this day? Beloved, have you given your life to Jesus Christ? If you are yet to do that please click here to take to the link were you do that and join us after that but if you have done that before now glory be to God and my prayer for is that you don’t fall by the way side, that you continue in this till Jesus come in glory.

We bring to you today the first promise of in Word of God and am sure you will be blessed with it. praise God. Satan the accuser of the brethren according to the Word of God will be bruised and we will triumphant through the blood of Jesus. Praise God.

Beloved, God as promise us his Presence, may we through the grace that is available to us by the precious blood of Jesus be delivered and made whole in Jesus Name.

The glory of God is bestowed unto us through Jesus Christ. Beloved do you know Jesus? Is He your Lord and personal Savior? What else can we glory in? Paul said for everything he had, he counted as dung and counted as lost that he may win Christ (Phil 3:7-10). Is that same with you? Are counting everything dung for the knowledge of Jesus Christ?

Come along with me as we discover more from the book of liberty:

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Gen. 3:15

This is the first promise to fallen man. It contains the whole gospel, and the essence of the covenant of grace. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman, even our Lord Jesus, was bruised in His heel, and a terrible bruising it was. How terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent’s head!

This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin, vanquished death, and broke the power of Satan; but it awaits a still fuller accomplishment at our Lord’s Second Advent, and in the day of Judgment. To us the promise stands as a prophecy that we shall be afflicted by the powers of evil in our lower nature, and thus bruised in our heel: but we shall triumph in Christ, who sets His foot on the old serpent’s head.

Throughout this year we may have to learn the first part of this promise by experience, through the temptations of the devil, and the unkindness of the ungodly who are his seed. They may so bruise us that we may limp with our sore heel; but let us grasp the second part of the text, and we shall not be dismayed. By faith let us rejoice that we shall still reign in Christ Jesus, the woman’s seed.

Thank God for gift of Jesus, beloved. Beloved our land will yield increase and we will partake of it as the Lord as promised us in year of our Greater Glory, the Lord will help us and perfect all that concerns us. Praise God. The work of your will yield increase and you will part take of it. Christ having establish your dominion power, you will yet eat the fruit of your labour praise God. let’s read more below:

“They did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.” Joshua 5:12

Israel’s weary wanderings were all over, and the promised rest was attained. No more moving tents, fiery serpents, fierce Amalekites, and howling wildernesses: they came to the land which flowed with milk and honey, and they ate the old corn of the land.

Perhaps this year, beloved Christian reader, this may be thy case or mine. Joyful is the prospect, and if faith be in active exercise, it will yield unalloyed delight. To be with Jesus in the rest which remaineth for the people of God, is a cheering hope indeed, and to expect this glory so soon is a double bliss.

Unbelief shudders at the Jordan which still rolls between us and the goodly land, but let us rest assured that we have already experienced more ills than death at its worst can cause us. Let us banish every fearful thought, and rejoice with exceeding great joy, in the prospect that this year we shall begin to be “for ever with the Lord.”

A part of the host will this year tarry on earth, to do service for their Lord. If this should fall to our lot, there is no reason why the New Year’s text should not still be true. “We who have believed do enter into rest.” The Holy Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance; He gives us “glory begun below.”

In heaven they are secure, and so are we preserve in Christ Jesus; there they triumph over their enemies, and we have victories too. Celestial spirits enjoy communion with their Lord, and this is not denied to us; they rest in His love, and we have perfect peace in Him: they hymn His praise, and it is our privilege to bless Him too.

We will this year gather celestial fruits on earthly ground, where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord. Man did eat angels’ food of old, and why not now? O for grace to feed on Jesus, and so to eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan this year!

It is your year of Greater Glory, your land will yield increase and you will partake of it in Jesus Name. Be in Christ and you will yield increase.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Welcome to Our Year of Greater Glory

What shall we say unto the Lord, all I have to say is thank You Lord, What shall we say unto the Lord, all I have to say is thank You Lord. Thank You Lord, Thank You Lord, all I have to say is Thank You Lord.// Lord, You are faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful are You Lord, Lord You are faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful are You Lord.

Father, we thank You, we bless Your Holy Name, we worship You, we bless Your Name, we adore You, we give You praise we give You worship, blessed be Your Holy Name forever and ever. Merciful Father, we return with thanksgiving on this first day of the year to worship You for all You have done for us all through 2016. We also want to thank You for the gift of a new year and all it intending blessings and challenging because the Spirit of God will brood on it and light will be given us to walk on it in Jesus Name. glorious God, we grateful for all love and kindness we enjoyed all last year. Your endless care and protection, we cannot Thank You enough for Your goodness and provisions You granted us, Lord we Thank You. Blessed be Your Holy Name, forever and ever amen!

Beloved, let us shout alleluia (7x) to the King of kings, the Lord of lords. He is the Ancient of Days, the Lion of the tribe of Judea. The One Who is and He is to come. Glory be God in the highest. My heart is overflowing with joy and I am here to say I am grateful to God for seeing us through last year and His promising to be with us all through this year again is something worth more than gold. So let us bow before the Throne and worship Him for His ever abiding Presence. The presence of God remineth sure and reassuring.

Join me as we worship God, Who has not forsaking us but has given us victory over all that has been dominating us all through our life before now and am most grateful.

Beloved, God is promising to be with us in an usual way, the way you have never seen Him move before now.

Before, we deliver to you the theme of the year. We want to appreciate you for being there for us. I believe that the Word of God coming from this Ministry flowing from Throne of Mercies has been blessing your life and placing you on top of situations. And you becoming better than you were before you discover us. Thank you for various contributions, encouragement and advice we receive from you. Thank you so much and may God continue to bless you now and always.

Beloved, I hereby declare to you the theme for this year as the Lord laid it in my heart. Beloved, the theme for this year is Our year of Greater Glory (Col 1:27; 2 Cor 3:18). Praise the Lord.

Are you excited? Am very joyous and am very sure you are also. The Spirit will help us as ever before and will bring to our understanding all that we should know as He makes His Word real to us.

Please stay with us as we go through the message of the day for more discovery:

Then I said:

Woe is me, for I am ruined,

because I am a man of unclean lips

and live among a people of unclean lips,

[and] because my eyes have seen the King,

the Lord of Hosts.—Isaiah 6:5

An exalted view of God brings a clear view of sin and a realistic view of self. A diminished view of God brings a reduced concern for sin and an inflated view of self. Isaiah may have been satisfied with his personal holiness until he saw the Lord in His unspeakable glory.

Isaiah’s encounter with holy God made him immediately and keenly aware of his own unholiness and the sinfulness of those around him. It is impossible to worship God and remain unchanged. The best indication that we have truly worshiped is a changed heart.

Have we so conformed ourselves to a sinful world that we are satisfied with unholy living? Have we sunk so far below God’s standard that when someone does live as God intended, we consider that person “superspiritual”? If we only compare our personal holiness to those around us, we may be deceived into believing that we are living a consecrated life. Yet when we encounter holy God, our only response can be “Woe is me!”

You will not see those around you trusting Jesus until they recognize a clear difference between you and the rest of the world. God wants to sanctify you as He is holy. When God deals with you, there will be a radical degree of purity about your life that is absolutely different from what the world can produce. The world, including those closest to you, will be convinced you serve a holy God by your consecrated life.

Have you encountered Jesus as Isaiah did at his time? Have you discovered that our God is Holy and cannot stand unholy things around Him? The fall of Adam orchestrated the birth of Jesus. Having lost the relationship God once had with us and found nothing to restore it back as was planned from the beginning, He sent His Son to die by hanging on the cross so that His blood will save us and reconcile us back to Himself.

What love so profound, immeasurable and unfathomable that God has shown unto us that we may have eternal life after our stay here in this part of eternity

So, if you here with me let us therefore come before the throne with thanksgiving and rejoicing for His wonderful works in our lives. Let’s continue:

“We will be glad and rejoice in Thee.” Song 1:4

We will be glad and rejoice in Thee. We will not open the gates of the year to the dolorous notes of the sackbut, but to the sweet strains of the harp of joy, and the high sounding cymbals of gladness. “O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise unto the rock of our salvation.”

We, the called and faithful and chosen, we will drive away our griefs, and set up our banners of confidence in the name of God. Let others lament over their troubles, we who have the sweetening tree to cast into Marah’s bitter pool, with joy will magnify the Lord. Eternal Spirit, our effectual Comforter, we who are the temples in which Thou dwellest, will never cease from adoring and blessing the name of Jesus.

We WILL, we are resolved about it, Jesus must have the crown of our heart’s delight; we will not dishonour our Bridegroom by mourning in His presence. We are ordained to be the minstrels of the skies, let us rehearse our everlasting anthem before we sing it in the halls of the New Jerusalem.

We will BE GLAD AND REJOICE: two words with one sense, double joy, blessedness upon blessedness. Need there be any limit to our rejoicing in the Lord even now? Do not men of grace find their Lord to be camphire and spikenard, calamus and cinnamon even now, and what better fragrance have they in heaven itself?

We will be glad and rejoice IN THEE. That last word is the meat in the dish, the kernel of the nut, the soul of the text. What heavens are laid up in Jesus! What rivers of infinite bliss have their source, ay, and every drop of their fulness in Him! Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee.

Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.

Yes, beloved that is our heart desire that as we open this year with joy, we will close it with him formed in us. May the love of God, His enduring mercies, Abounding Grace, His immeasurable faith, and everlasting Glory be our portion this year and beyond in Jesus Name. As Jesus do this work through the help of the Holy Spirit may His glory be form in you in greater dimension in Jesus Name! Amen!

Once again beloved, we welcome you to this glorious year and we believe God will all settle that concerneth us in Jesus Name. We encourage you to continue in your love for God by being part of this ministry as we take this gospel to every nook and cranny as demanded us from our Lord Jesus. Amen! Remember Christ in you; the hope of glory!

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Spontaneous Praise

Evang. Ifeoma Ohondu

December 30, 2016

Victory is mine, victory is mine. Victory is mine today, I told Satan get behind me victory is mine today.// The Lord has given me victory; I will lift Him higher, Jehovah I will lift Him higher2x.// You are Great, yes You are, Mighty God, You walked upon the sea, You raise the dead, You reign majesty Holy one, everything written about You is great. You are great, You are great, You are great, You are great. You are great, You are great, everything written about is great. Demons tremble at Your presence, what a Mighty God we serve, glory glory alleluia, every written about You is great. You are great, You are great, everything written about You is great.

Father in heaven O God, what a Mighty God You Are. Blessed be Thy Holy Name. Thank You precious God. for everything You have done for us from the beginning of this year to the end of it. Blessed Father, we bow at Your presence to worship and glorify Your Holy Name. What can offer to You that will worthy of all we received from Thee.

The bill for clean health who can pay? Just put a call to a family doctor what it will cause to place someone on oxygen for 365 days, the answer might be shocking to you. But not worry because Jesus had already pay that bill and yours is to breathe in and out and be merry.

On protection, pick up a phone and find out from a reputable security agent to know what it will cost to hire their service for 24 hours for 365 days round the clock, am sure you will scream as you see or hear the figures. But to God be the glory, you enjoyed all these free because the Lord watched over you. Praise God.

Do I continue to list one after the other why you should jump on feet and start praising God for all those trips You took and return to base safety. All those escape from robberies and dangerous situation. You took ill and you were healed, there are too many to mention. The new births, new marriages, admission to institution, employment and career breakthroughs.

Wow! Who can recount all what the Lord has done for us. What about national and environmental peace. The Lord upheld our homes and love ones, our ministries and career. My list is becoming too long and also endless. Glory be to You Lord for all You have done, will yet do before this blessed year round off. More births and marriages will still be announce before the end of tomorrow.

Beloved, why won’t you shout a big alleluia to our great God.

Let us lift our voice and read out loud Ps 66 to the glory and honour of this Great and Mighty God.

Beloved, your fruiting comes from Jesus, Who had painstaking took us through the year on how to regain our dominion power stolen by trick by the devil. Having taught us to imbibe the fruit of the Spirit which is to place us in dominion over the wilderness of our life (Isa 32:14-18- our theme text for the year).

It was battle all through the year, am sure you have same testimony. Beloved, for you to rescue or be rescued you need a higher power and higher authority to overcome. Jesus is our Master, Savior, Friend, He is our all in all and that was exactly what He did for us this month. Don’t keep yourself bond ever again.

Beloved, do you know that Jesus died that we may live. He went down to hell and took the key of death and hell (Rev1:18). He defected Satan and made a public show of him. That victory has been handed over to you, don’t lose it again through careless living or sinful habit.

Who can condemn one who God has delivered, who can ever be against you if God is with you. He love you with an everlasting love,

May the fruit of the Spirit you have imbibe help you to be enthrone in Jesus Name. However, if you have not given your life to Jesus, another opportunity is here for you to do so lest you miss all the benefit of the birth and death of Jesus bought for you, am sure you will want to do that so click here to give your life to Jesus.

And Mary said:

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. . . ”—Luke 1:46–47

Praise is the spontaneous response of a grateful child of God in His presence. The person who knows God and experiences Him intimately sings to the Lord with deepest praise! Mary was overwhelmed by the Lord’s goodness to her. In response she sang one of the most beautiful and profound songs of praise found in Scripture.

Trying to stop the praise of a thankful heart would be like trying to arrest the flow of a mighty waterfall! God created us to praise Him; praise will be our activity when we are gathered around His throne in heaven.

You should never have difficulty thinking of reasons why God deserves your praise. You should enjoy the times you have to praise your Lord, both privately and publicly in worship. If your life is not filled with praise, it may be that you have lost your appreciation for God’s merciful activity in your life. Never forget what God has saved you from.

Never take for granted what it means to have the assurance of eternity with God. Do not disregard the spiritual kinship you enjoy with other believers. Take time often to recount the blessings He has poured out upon you and your family. As you contemplate the boundless love and mercy God has shown you, you will want to sing His praises as Mary did.

Spontaneous praise is authentic praise. It does not have to be manipulated or orchestrated. It is a real and personal expression of a grateful heart and wonder-filled life that has encountered holy God!

Beloved, this is what your continually abiding in Jesus will accomplish in your life. So keep abiding. No broken relationship so that you keep the Satan out of your life and destiny forever and be in dominion instead for ever. Let’s keep reading:

“From Me is thy fruit found.” Hosea 14:8

Our fruit is found from our God as to union. The fruit of the branch is directly traceable to the root. Sever the connection, the branch dies, and no fruit is produced. By virtue of our union with Christ we bring forth fruit. Every bunch of grapes have been first in the root, it has passed through the stem, and flowed through the sap vessels, and fashioned itself externally into fruit, but it was first in the stem; so also every good work was first in Christ, and then is brought forth in us. O Christian, prize this precious union to Christ; for it must be the source of all the fruitfulness which thou canst hope to know. If thou wert not joined to Jesus Christ, thou wouldst be a barren bough indeed.

Our fruit comes from God as to spiritual providence. When the dew-drops fall from heaven, when the cloud looks down from on high, and is about to distil its liquid treasure, when the bright sun swells the berries of the cluster, each heavenly boon may whisper to the tree and say, “From me is thy fruit found.” The fruit owes much to the root—that is essential to fruitfulness—but it owes very much also to external influences. How much we owe to God’s grace-providence! in which He provides us constantly with quickening, teaching, consolation, strength, or whatever else we want. To this we owe our all of usefulness or virtue.

Our fruit comes from God as to wise husbandry. The gardener’s sharp-edged knife promotes the fruitfulness of the tree, by thinning the clusters, and by cutting off superfluous shoots. So is it, Christian, with that pruning which the Lord gives to thee. “My Father is the husbandman. Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” Since our God is the author of our spiritual graces, let us give to Him all the glory of our salvation.

Beloved, we are nothing outside Christ, so keep abiding; to keep bearing fruit. Keep the fruit by the help of the Holy Spirit, and that will keep you dominion forever.

Beloved, here I pen down for year 2016. It has been a wonderful year all the way. I enjoyed your comments, contributions and suggestions that we received. Next year will be great by the special grace of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. Make sure you keep on with God and your life will be more beautiful.

Finally, dear beloved I leave with these Word- Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;, forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col 3:13-17 (KJV)

Finally dear beloved, have a wonderful crossover night and see you again on the second day of the coming year.

From allofus @ Overcomers-faith we say a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2017 ahead. Sing a new song like Mary did unto the Lord and see Him making all the crooked path straight before you step into the New Year.

Remain ever blessed in the Lord.
