Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness, morning by morning new mercies I see, all that I needed thy hands have provided, great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto Thee.// O Lord, my God, how excellent is Thy Name, in all the earth how Wonderful is Thy Name, O Lord! x2

Heavenly Father we thank You, we bless Your Holy Name, we worship You, we honour You for indeed You are great. Great are You Lord, Great are You Lord, Great are You Lord, Great are You Lord.

In heaven You are God, on earth You reigneth forever, O! Lord I praise and worship You. Thank You Father for the gift of this week. Thank You for watching over us, Thank You for protecting us against the assaults of the evil one. Glorious God Wonderful Redeemer, we thank You forever in Jesus Name.

Beloveth, hope you have a nice week? We can say less here in the ministry, our God is Faithful. Thank God for His word in season that healeth and draweth men unto Him, to Him be all the glory, all honour, all adoration in Jesus Name.

Beloved, Friday is here again and I believe God you have testimonies. Yes indeed we serve a God that is full of Wonders. He makes us to dance and rejoice even in that situation the enemy planed for evil, the Lord of host will turn it around according to His word for good for those who believe.

The Lord has help me to accept things even when looking at it I know that it is not the best for me. However, right in center of it, I have seen God arose in midst of the storm to calm the trouble sea. So right now am not move by things any longer, I will rather wait for the victory the Lord is granting me in that unpleasant situation and challenges. Beloved if you yet to get here, start now and see the devil screaming and running out because He that is you is ever greater than he that is in the world.

So many truth in the Word of God came to us through the teaching of this week and I believe you are blessed. Just a recap of the weekly teaching- The glory of the Lord shines among God’s children no doubt to expel all the works of darkness in their lives. We are to offer to God that work that is not stained with the blood of another. That is, we must not usurp responsibility that is divine assigned to others.

We must stay were God has appointed us to stand, else the Lord will not be pleased with our service. The Lord spoke against pollution of the altar of which you are and I by the death and resurrection of our Jesus now represent, a temple and altar of the Most High. Therefore, we must shun all abominable things that will polluted the altar as it seem.

Yesterday, the Lord made us see that man; that women that trust in Him. We must come to God believing that He is, for without faith it impossible to please Him.

Today’s lesson will not offer less as it is teaching us to stand for the truth come what may. We are not to be move by what the enemy is doing around us. Nothing will stop the Word of God. No man; no group is strong enough to stop the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ therefore child for God stand up and be valiant for the truth. If Daniel did not give up in his time, you and I have no excuse to give that will be tenable before the Throne for hiding and not sharing this gospel of truth.

Do not afraid of that man who can only destroy the body and not your Soul. But fear Him who is able to destroy both in hell (Matt 10:28).

The times we are in is evil but no child of God should give up, we must take a cue from what Jesus told the Asian church as it contains in the teaching of today and apply it to our daily living. Praise the Lord!

Let get into the teaching of the day. Be a practical Christian not hearer only and God will bless you for it:

“The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Dan. 11:32

“The Lord is a man of war, Jehovah is his name.” Those who enlist under His banner shall have a Commander who will train them for the conflict, and give them both vigor and valor. The times of which Daniel wrote were of the very worst kind, and then it was promised that the people of God would come out in their best colors: they would be strong and stout to confront the powerful adversary.

Oh, that we may know our God; His power, His faithfulness, His immutable love, and so may be ready to risk everything in His behalf. He is One whose character excites our enthusiasm, and makes us willing to live and to die for Him. Oh, that we may know our God by familiar fellowship with Him; for then we shall become like Him, and shall be prepared to stand up for truth and righteousness.

He who comes forth fresh from beholding the face of God will never fear the face of man. If we dwell with Him, we shall catch the heroic spirit, and to us a world of enemies will be but as the drop of a bucket. A countless array of men, or even of devils, will seem as little to us as the nations are to God, and He counts them only as grasshoppers. Oh, to be valiant for truth in this day of falsehood.

Yes! be valiant for the truth in this day of falsehood, all manners of wickedness in the lives of men. Beloved, be valiant for the truth. Praise God.

Beloved, ever wondered what is going on in our days, while are the one time hot and vibrate child of God suddenly grow cold, lose firm and peak out spiritually? We have an answer for you, just fellow us as we bring the teaching that will speak more of that to you and how best to stay on top on your spiritually walk with the Holy Spirit.

 Why Is It So Many Believers Grow Cold, Lose The Fire, And Peak Out Spiritually?

This was part of a conversation I had this morning with a 74 year old war horse of the faith who is still going strong for God. My mind reflected back on my early morning meditation on the passage in Revelation where Jesus admonished the Asian churches to stay on track spiritually. In effect he told them:

WAKE UP!

That is, stay vigilant like a person anticipating a thief: “Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13) Don’t be lulled into the spiritual doldrums.

HOLD ON!

Seize what is already yours! Retain it. Don’t let it go! Don’t go back on what God has already given you! “If he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.” (Hebrews 10:38)

KEEP YOUR FIRST LOVE!

Recently I received an e-mail from a Christian friend of long-standing. Anticipating a spiritual challenge, my heart sank in disappointment as he launched into a discussion of his twin passions of soccer and the stock market. Scant mention was made of the things of God. Retaining his “first love“? One wonders. (Jeremiah 2:2; Matthew 24:12)

“DON’T COMPROMISE WITH SIN!”

In two areas: (1) Idolatry: “Is there anything that commands your affections more than the Lord Jesus Christ?” (2) Sexual impurity: “Is the trend in your thought life and actions moving toward increased purity, or increased enslavement?” (2 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7)

“BE FAITHFUL TO THE DEATH!”

Tough times lay ahead, warned Jesus, so be prepared to suffer, even to the point of death. Many times I have rehearsed what I would do if it came down to a choice between preserving my life or confessing Christ. If pressed, I would, by His grace, point to my forehead and say, “Put the bullet right here!

QUESTION: Music scores are often characterized by the diminuendo and the crescendo. With that metaphor in mind, are you moving toward a diminuendo-type existence of selfish refuge, self-indulgence and limited vision, or toward a crescendo of faith, sacrificial service, and investment in that which is eternal?

Beloved, where is your first love now, still in your heart or you have dumped on it the shelf to be pick up once awhile to glance through or under your pillow to wedge off witches and wizard. Beloveth are still playing with sins? We are told among other things to “Wake up” “Hold on” “Be faithful to the death” are you willing to abide by these? We are also admonish to “Keep your first love”, “Don’t compromise with sin”.

O the grace to live above all that will hinder our walk with God be release unto us in Jesus Name. May you not comprise your faith? May you not fall into sin that will take away your crown of glory, the grace to be strong to the end, receive in Jesus Name (Rev 2:7).

We will not fall by the wayside. The Lord called them grasshoppers and so they shall remain before our eyes in Jesus Name. The devil will not make us a mix meat in Jesus Name Amen!!!!!!. We will bring forth fruits unto the Lord in Jesus Name (Rom 7:4)

Have a vibrate weekend in the Lord. See you on Monday again by God’s grace.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Implicit Trust

Father, we are confident to come into the place where You are, come into the place where You are.// We lift Your Name higher, we lift Your Name higher, we lift Your name higher we lift Your Name higher, shout Allelu-Alleluia, Alleu-Alleluia, shout Allelu-Alueluia, Allelu-Alleluia.

O Lord our God we Thank You for the gift of another day under heaven to praise and worship You. Thank You for sparing us from all evil. Thank You for watching over us and protecting us from the works of the wickedness in the world. Father we reverence You we give You praise we adore You forever and ever in Jesus Name.

Beloved, “I look up to the hill, from whence cometh my help, my help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.” Do you believe that? Do you believe that God is your helper? Do you trust in the power that rose Christ from death on the third day?

That same power is still available today if you believe, He is ready to bring it past in anything you are believing Him for. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.  Do you believe that Jesus became poor that you may be rich? O my God, He died that you may through His death obtain salvation that guarantees eternal life.

Beloved, do you also know that you can do all things through Jesus that strengthens you? This is worthy saying, tested and approved. My Father is more than able to deliver and to make whole. There is nothing too hard for Him to do. All you need do is look up for those word that address your issues in the Word and being to confess and applied it to your situation and before long you will walk away from that seeming impossible situation free forever.  It is possible.

This is possible to firstly those who have given their lives to Jesus, secondly to those who believe in Him that He can do all things. It does not matter what name it is called, what matters is that “at the Name of Jesus every knee must bow” it means that “ at the Name of Jesus that situation or challenges bow down and out” praise the Living Jesus.

I believe that your faith has been charge enough to receive from above your desired miracles at these moment. It is in no other Name than in the Name of Jesus. You can also receive it on behalf of someone else by reading and forward it to the person or standing in the gap for such an individual where there is email address.

Beloveth do you remember that teaching in the bible where some friends lower their dear friend from the roof right before Jesus and the rest of the story you also know. Let us not limit the miracle that can be wrought though the teaching of today. You can as well call this person on phone and point him or her to Jesus’s miracle Words of healing, lead him or her to Christ and deliver him or her from the clutches of the enemies and hell. Praise Jesus.

Are you ready to receive from the Throne of grace this moment? If you are, join me as we discover more from our teachings today:

“For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.” Jer. 39:18

 

Behold the protecting power of trust in God. The great men of Jerusalem fell by the sword, but poor Ebed-melech was secure, for his confidence was in Jehovah. Where else should a man trust but in his Maker? We are foolish when we prefer the creature to the Creator. Oh, that we could in all things live by faith, then should we be delivered in all time of danger! No one ever did trust in the Lord in vain, and no one ever shall.

The Lord saith, “I will surely deliver thee.” Mark the divine “surely.” Whatever else may be uncertain, God’s care of believers is sure. God Himself is the guardian of the gracious. Under His sacred wing there is safety even when every danger is abroad. Can we accept this promise as sure? Then in our present emergency we shall find that it stands fast.

We hope to be delivered because we have friends, or because we are prudent, or because we can see hopeful signs; but none of these things are one half so good as God’s simple “because thou hast put thy trust in me.” Dear reader, try this way, and, trying it, you will keep to it all your life. It is as sweet as it is sure.

Let’s keep going:

“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.” 1Thessalonians 1:4

Many persons want to know their election before they look to Christ, but they cannot learn it thus, it is only to be discovered by “looking unto Jesus.” If you desire to ascertain your own election;—after the following manner, shall you assure your heart before God.

Do you feel yourself to be a lost, guilty sinner? go straightway to the cross of Christ, and tell Jesus so, and tell Him that you have read in the Bible, “Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out.” Tell Him that He has said, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”

Look to Jesus and believe on Him, and you shall make proof of your election directly, for so surely as thou believest, thou art elect. If you will give yourself wholly up to Christ and trust Him, then you are one of God’s chosen ones; but if you stop and say, “I want to know first whether I am elect,” you ask you know not what.

Go to Jesus, be you never so guilty, just as you are. Leave all curious inquiry about election alone. Go straight to Christ and hide in His wounds, and you shall know your election. The assurance of the Holy Spirit shall be given to you, so that you shall be able to say, “I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to Him.”

Christ was at the everlasting council: He can tell you whether you were chosen or not; but you cannot find it out in any other way. Go and put your trust in Him, and His answer will be—”I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” There will be no doubt about His having chosen you, when you have chosen Him.

“Sons we are through God’s election,

Who in Jesus Christ believe.”

 

Still in doubt about your election beloveth, read Matt 28:19-20; Mk 16:15-18; Lk 24:46-49. Beloved I know that there is no other Name by which any will be saved except in the Name Jesus, therefore hold on that Name and stand by it till you pass on to eternity. Do not allow the cares and pleasures of this world denial your sonship in heaven,

Devil will wedge war, launch his arsenals but none should be strong enough to hinder you from moving forward in race of life. Do not allow anyone to take away your crown of glory that you will receive on that day when Christ will appear (1Pet 5:4; Rev 3:11). Hold forth your faith with prayer and trust God for deliverance (Heb 11:6; 1Thess 5:17). Always remember that He that is us is greater than He that is in the world

I conclude with words of John in First John chapter 2 verse twenty to twenty-five (1Jn 2:20-25).

Remain blessed in the Lord.

“If thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.”

You are the Lord that is Your Name, You will never share Your glory with a anyone, You will never share Your glory with anybody, Almighty God that is Your Name.// Move on, move on don’t be tried, my Jesus understand, He died You 2x.

Heavenly Father, we come to say Thank You for the price of redemption so costly a price that saved a wretched like me. Thank You Father, Thank You Jesus for Your kindness towards us. You know what hell means therefore You moved ahead to stop its power over us. Thank You Holy Spirit of God for standing in the gap ever since ensuring that we did not miss the way ever again. O God my Father Thank You and Thank You forever and ever, Amen!

Beloved, faithful is our God. Our God is Holy, those who will worship Him must worship Him in truth and in Spirit.  There is no half measure in our Father’s business, you must be true and true, you must be strong in worship, your prayer altar must be on fire, and its light must not be put off by prayerlessness. We must also guide against the Spirit of buying and selling when we are in God’s presence, it does not honour God at all.

Talking about prayer is not same as praying. We must pray and keep praying until something happens. However, God have a standard for His place of worship and that is what we are going to consider today in our teaching. So tight Your belt while we take off smoothly.

Beloveth, the entrance of the Word of God giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple (Ps 119: 130).  Let us pray as Jacob prayed, “I will never leave you unless you bless me.” If you are willing to do same come with me to discover how to pray a prayer that must be answered. what you must do for heaven to look down on you as you pray. Praise the lord.

“If thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.” Exodus 20:25

God’s altar was to be built of unhewn stones, that no trace of human skill or labour might be seen upon it. Human wisdom delights to trim and arrange the doctrines of the cross into a system more artificial and more congenial with the depraved tastes of fallen nature; instead, however, of improving the gospel carnal wisdom pollutes it, until it becomes another gospel, and not the truth of God at all.

All alterations and amendments of the Lord’s own Word are defilements and pollutions. The proud heart of man is very anxious to have a hand in the justification of the soul before God; preparations for Christ are dreamed of, humblings and repentings are trusted in, good works are cried up, natural ability is much vaunted, and by all means the attempt is made to lift up human tools upon the divine altar.

It were well if sinners would remember that so far from perfecting the Saviour’s work, their carnal confidences only pollute and dishonour it. The Lord alone must be exalted in the work of atonement, and not a single mark of man’s chisel or hammer will be endured. There is an inherent blasphemy in seeking to add to what Christ Jesus in His dying moments declared to be finished, or to improve that in which the Lord Jehovah finds perfect satisfaction.

Trembling sinner, away with thy tools, and fall upon thy knees in humble supplication; and accept the Lord Jesus to be the altar of thine atonement, and rest in Him alone.

Many professors may take warning from this morning’s text as to the doctrines which they believe. There is among Christians far too much inclination to square and reconcile the truths of revelation; this is a form of irreverence and unbelief, let us strive against it, and receive truth as we find it; rejoicing that the doctrines of the Word are unhewn stones, and so are all the more fit to build an altar for the Lord.

Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 1:23 said “but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles.” What gospel are you are writing as we studied few days back? Always remember that prayer is legal entity that allows you to get into the holies of Holy. If your fire is going down brethren, this is the time to rekindle it.

“As it began to dawn, came Magdalene, to see the sepulchre.” Matthew 28:1

 

Let us learn from Mary Magdalene how to obtain fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Notice how she sought. She sought the Saviour very early in the morning. If thou canst wait for Christ, and be patient in the hope of having fellowship with Him at some distant season, thou wilt never have fellowship at all; for the heart that is fitted for communion is a hungering and a thirsting heart. She sought Him also with very great boldness.

Other disciples fled from the sepulchre, for they trembled and were amazed; but Mary, it is said, “stood” at the sepulchre. If you would have Christ with you, seek Him boldly. Let nothing hold you back. Defy the world. Press on where others flee. She sought Christ faithfully—she stood at the sepulchre.

Some find it hard to stand by a living Saviour, but she stood by a dead one. Let us seek Christ after this mode, cleaving to the very least thing that has to do with Him, remaining faithful though all others should forsake Him. Note further, she sought Jesus earnestly—she stood “weeping.”

Those tear-droppings were as spells that led the Saviour captive, and made Him come forth and show Himself to her. If you desire Jesus’ presence, weep after it! If you cannot be happy unless He come and say to you, “Thou art My beloved,” you will soon hear His voice. Lastly, she sought the Saviour only. What cared she for angels, she turned herself back from them; her search was only for her Lord.

If Christ be your one and only love, if your heart has cast out all rivals, you will not long lack the comfort of His presence. Mary Magdalene sought thus because she loved much. Let us arouse ourselves to the same intensity of affection; let our heart, like Mary’s, be full of Christ, and our love, like hers, will be satisfied with nothing short of Himself. O Lord, reveal Thyself to us this evening!

Beloved, if Mary Magdalene sought Jesus with so much love and was found by Him, bestir yourself to seek Him and be find by Him. Do not lay on the altar any weapon that will pollute it. Pray fervently until you receive answers to your prayers. Keep the fire burning dear beloved.

Devil will fight you with every weapon including members of your household, but listen to what the Spirit of God is saying to you “do not be dismay, for He that is you is greater than the legions of satan. They cannot stand before the Loin of the tribe of Judah and so they cannot stand before either because of who your Father is. Praise the living Jesus.

In the Name of Jesus the enemies of our souls must be defeated and we pray without ceasing.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

They shall go hindmost with their standards.”

Every living soul, every living soul praise the Lord 2x are You a living soul? I am a living soul I will praise the Lord. Every living soul, every living soul praise the Lord.// Who is like unto Thee, O Lord who is like unto Thee, O Lord among the gods who is like Thee, You are glorious in holiness fearful in praises, doing wonders alleluia!

Glorious Father, we come before You who created the whole world and all that is within it. Glory be to You Father. Thank God for being God indeed to us, there is none like Thee. Let everything You made bow before the Throne in the Name of Jesus. Thank You Father, Thank You Lord.

Precious Redeemer, we come before You Father, have Your way in my life today, help me to serve You all the days of my live, Lord help the saints we pray Thee that Your Name alone will be glorify in Jesus Name.

We cannot help ourselves without You, we are nothing outside Your power and strength, therefore Lord help us to stand firm where You have position us. Help us not to fail You. Help us not disappoint You but to stand firm where You have positioned us in Jesus Name.

Brethren, is that also Your heart desire this moment, to be where God has assigned You to do exploits for Him. Blessed Redeemer, the world is full with evil but we trust in You, preserve us we pray Thee in Jesus Name.

We are to stand in rank as our second message will be speaking to us later. We must not thrust one another rather we must walk in our path. Unfortunately that is not what is happening in our world today.

There is a lots going on in the world around us, jostling of position and powers. This evil cancer is moving from the seculars to the church of God and more pitiable to the families.  There are things that is not worth mentioning among us brethren.

 We are also by the teaching of today learn to take care of those who are weak in faith among us. We must a matter of necessity care for them. Sometimes they put up a wall around themselves so that it will not be very easy to reach them. Sometimes they pick up quarrels in simple matter just to have a defense around themselves.

Beloved, the Spirit of God made me realize recently that is all entice of the devil to lure them away from the caring brethren and lead them to the wilderness of loneliness and get them destroyed. So watch out for those lagging behind in faith, in duties. Get to them first before the enemy takes over completely. Remember a little acts of ‘kindness’ the Lord is demanding from you.

Let go into the teaching of the day:

“They shall go hindmost with their standards.” Numbers 2:31

 

The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same fiery cloudy pillar, they ate of the same manna, drank of the same spiritual rock, and journeyed to the same inheritance.

Come, my heart, cheer up, though last and least; it is thy privilege to be in the army, and to fare as they fare who lead the van. Some one must be hindmost in honour and esteem, some one must do menial work for Jesus, and why should not I? In a poor village, among an ignorant peasantry; or in a back street, among degraded sinners, I will work on, and “go hindmost with my standard.”

The Danites occupied a very useful place. Stragglers have to be picked up upon the march, and lost property has to be gathered from the field. Fiery spirits may dash forward over untrodden paths to learn fresh truth, and win more souls to Jesus; but some of a more conservative spirit may be well engaged in reminding the church of her ancient faith, and restoring her fainting sons. Every position has its duties, and the slowly moving children of God will find their peculiar state one in which they may be eminently a blessing to the whole host.

The rear guard is a place of danger. There are foes behind us as well as before us. Attacks may come from any quarter. We read that Amalek fell upon Israel, and slew some of the hindmost of them. The experienced Christian will find much work for his weapons in aiding those poor doubting, desponding, wavering, souls, who are hindmost in faith, knowledge, and joy. These must not be left unaided, and therefore be it the business of well-taught saints to bear their standards among the hindmost. My soul, do thou tenderly watch to help the hindmost this day.

Let us also learn to be where God has appointed us to be per time. It is unfortunate what is going on in our world today. Of more concern is that it is happening in the household of God. Is astonishing what the brethren are doing against one another. My prayer for a user of this devotional is to stand firm and keep your rank at home, office, ministry and church, that you will not be found wanting at your duty post in Jesus Name:

“Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path.” Joel 2:8

 

Locusts always keep their rank, and although their number is legion, they do not crowd upon each other, so as to throw their columns into confusion. This remarkable fact in natural history shows how thoroughly the a Lord has infused the spirit of order into His universe, since the smallest animate creatures are as much controlled by it as are the rolling spheres or the seraphic messengers.

It would be wise for believers to be ruled by the same influence in all their spiritual life. In their Christian graces no one virtue should usurp the sphere of another, or eat out the vitals of the rest for its own support. Affection must not smother honesty, courage must not elbow weakness out of the field, modesty must not jostle energy, and patience must not slaughter resolution.

So also with our duties, one must not interfere with another; public usefulness must not injure private piety; church work must not push family worship into a corner. It is ill to offer God one duty stained with the blood of another. Each thing is beautiful in its season, but not otherwise. It was to the Pharisee that Jesus said, “This ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other undone.” The same rule applies to our personal position, we must take care to know our place, take it, and keep to it.

We must minister as the Spirit has given us ability, and not intrude upon our fellow servant’s domain. Our Lord Jesus taught us not to covet the high places, but to be willing to be the least among the brethren. Far from us be an envious, ambitious spirit, let us feel the force of the Master’s command, and do as He bids us, keeping rank with the rest of the host.

To-night let us see whether we are keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace, and let our prayer be that, in all the churches of the Lord Jesus, peace and order may prevail.

We must not offer to God a duty stain with the blood of another. Brethren you may be acting in good faith but be very careful that you are not offering to God a duty stained with the blood of another. Because it will not be pleasing to Him. God give us grace not to be weary in well doings in Jesus Name (Gal 6:9).

So look into your life and make the necessary amend. May the Spirit of God helps you as you are willing to obey in Jesus Name.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

“The Lord our God hath shewed us His glory.”

Good morning Jesus, good morning Lord, I know You come from heaven above, the Holy Spirit is on the Throne, Good morning Jesus, Good morning Lord.// Father we declare that we love You, we declare an everlasting love for You 2x.

Heavenly Father, we bow before Your presence we say Thank You Lord for another beautiful week and a blessed day before us, be Thou exalted O Lord! in the Name of Jesus.

Beloved, who is greater than our heavenly Father? What is mightier than Him? I have search all eternity Lord and I said there is none like Thee. Our Father is greater than the greatest, he is mightier than the mighty. The God I serve is the Ancient One, the Great I Am. He is the Beginning and the End. He is Mighty in battle, there is none like Him.

Come and see God seated up above radiating His glory in the lives of His children. Ever seen the Splendor of the Most High God? O my soul raise up this day and glorify the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Ancient One, He is a Miracle worker. Faithful is Lord.

Come dear beloved and lift up His Name up above every other thing you can ever think of or ever imagine. Great is our God.

No sickness can stand in His Presence, No stranger can withstand the brightest of His Glory. Therefore child of God, is any stranger in your life? Come into His presence of the most High God and made whole. If you seek Him; you will find Him. Someone will be delivered now if you will simple obey the voice of the living God.

A bruise reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench. The Lord will lead you in the green pasture and nurture your soul.

Child of God, you will not die but live says the Spirit of the Living God. All the years the caterpillar and the cankerworms has eaten will be restored back to you. I don’t know whom I am talking to this moment but I also know that the husbandman is the first partaker of the harvest therefore I stay on the line to receive the Spoken Word of the Spirit of God.

Is someone standing in for same miracle? God is here to reveal His glory to us. Join me as we read further what the teaching of the day has for us:

 

“The Lord our God hath shewed us His glory.” Deuteronomy 5:24

God’s great design in all His works is the manifestation of His own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of Himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man’s eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has too high an estimate of his own powers, and so is not qualified to behold the glory of the Lord.

It is clear, then, that self must stand out of the way, that there may be room for God to be exalted; and this is the reason why He bringeth His people ofttimes into straits and difficulties, that, being made conscious of their own folly and weakness, they may be fitted to behold the majesty of God when He comes forth to work their deliverance. He whose life is one even and smooth path, will see but little of the glory of the Lord, for he has few occasions of self-emptying, and hence, but little fitness for being filled with the revelation of God.

They who navigate little streams and shallow creeks, know but little of the God of tempests; but they who “do business in great waters,” these see His “wonders in the deep.” Among the huge Atlantic-waves of bereavement, poverty, temptation, and reproach, we learn the power of Jehovah, because we feel the littleness of man.

Thank God, then, if you have been led by a rough road: it is this which has given you your experience of God’s greatness and lovingkindness. Your troubles have enriched you with a wealth of knowledge to be gained by no other means: your trials have been the cleft of the rock in which Jehovah has set you, as He did His servant Moses, that you might behold His glory as it passed by.

Praise God that you have not been left to the darkness and ignorance which continued prosperity might have involved, but that in the great fight of affliction, you have been capacitated for the outshinings of His glory in His wonderful dealings with you.

Everything worketh for good for them that believeth, do you believe that?

“A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench.” Matthew 12:20

What is weaker than the bruised reed or the smoking flax? A reed that groweth in the fen or marsh, let but the wild duck light upon it, and it snaps; let but the foot of man brush against it, and it is bruised and broken; every wind that flits across the river moves it to and fro. You can conceive of nothing more frail or brittle, or whose existence is more in jeopardy, than a bruised reed.

Then look at the smoking flax—what is it? It has a spark within it, it is true, but it is almost smothered; an infant’s breath might blow it out; nothing has a more precarious existence than its flame. Weak things are here described, yet Jesus says of them, “The smoking flax I will not quench; the bruised reed I will not break.”

Some of God’s children are made strong to do mighty works for Him; God has His Samsons here and there who can pull up Gaza’s gates, and carry them to the top of the hill; He has a few mighties who are lion-like men, but the majority of His people are a timid, trembling race. They are like starlings, frightened at every passer by; a little fearful flock.

If temptation comes, they are taken like birds in a snare; if trial threatens, they are ready to faint; their frail skiff is tossed up and down by every wave, they are drifted along like a sea bird on the crest of the billows—weak things, without strength, without wisdom, without foresight. Yet, weak as they are, and because they are so weak, they have this promise made specially to them.

Herein is grace and graciousness! Herein is love and lovingkindness! How it opens to us the compassion of Jesus—so gentle, tender, considerate! We need never shrink back from His touch. We need never fear a harsh word from Him; though He might well chide us for our weakness, He rebuketh not. Bruised reeds shall have no blows from Him, and the smoking flax no damping frowns.

This is the promise in the Word of God “no bruised reed shall He break, no smoking flax shall He not quench.” Beloved, if thou be in need of His touch, go the mercy seat this moment and obtain help.

This week is declared blessed in the Name of the God the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. His glory is radiating upon You now in Jesus Name. May the strength of the Lord carry us through in Jesus Name.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

I will lift up my voice I will joyfully sing not for what You have done but for who You are the song that I sing melody in my heart, the reason I sing is to praise You Lord. He reigns Jesus reigns baba reigns forever more.// You are the reason why we are singing Jehovah You are the Most High God. Jehovah You are the Most High, Jehovah, You are the Most High God.

Faithful Father, who is like unto Thee? You are the Most High God. In heaven You are God. On the earth You are God, In the sea, You are God. Faithful are You Lord, Great are You Lord, Great are You Lord, Great are You Lord.

Beloveth, we are at it again, our Friday tonic – Practical Christian Living (PCL). I look forward to it, I don’t know about you. But I feel every exciting on Friday, firstly, I am looking forward to a pen down and secondly it is a time of practical. No matter what you learn and you don’t practice you will forget with time. So the lesson on Fridays afford us the privilege to see how others who has gone ahead of us have handle some issues you and I may be struggling with and know how best to navigate through it with the help of the Holy Spirit.

So I will encourage you to always keep a date with us because it will afford you to be well equip unto every good work and challenges of life. Praise the Lord.

Hear me child of God, do you know that you are an “epistle?” So, what are you writing? In your daily encounter with people, what are their perception about you? It is good we know about all these so that we are careful about how we live. How we conduct our affairs, business and the likes. (2cor 3:2; 2Tim 2:2, 15)

Don’t ever assumed that no one cares. Don’t ever think that no one notice. Always live with the consciousness that you are being watch. Why am I saying that? Your parents, husband or wife may not be there but there is someone who is ever presence at all time; at all places- Holy Spirit. Don’t forget He bears witness for every of your action. So you must be mindful not of man but of God.

Do you also know that you are an aroma? I can sense in my Spirit that someone is laughing loud now at the above statement. But that is the truth. The bible says that ‘we are aroma of Christ to God among those who are being save and among those who are perishing.’ Turn your bible to 2Cor 2:15 and read.

What does aroma does or put in another way, what is your perception about aroma? Let me give you mine. Aroma is an inviting smell that pull you towards either an individual, house (talking about the ambience) or towards foods or nourishment (edibles like rice, soups ice creams, fries) name it. It is an a pleasant smell not repellent.

Let us consider Rom 12: 1-2. Read Exo 29:18 and finally read Gen 8:21, what is your bible saying concerning all these.

Therefore if God is well please with the smell that comes from a lamb or offerings that were sacrificed on the altar on the old testament, how much more is He to be pleasing with you.

So you are encourage to know that you an aroma and should be pleasing to God by the way you live. Again know yea that you are also an epistle written by you and will be read by many also.

So the question is what are writing? Let get into the teaching of today to learn more:

What Is The Gospel… According To You?

You are writing a Gospel, a chapter every day,

By the things that you do and the words that you say.

Men read what you write – distorted or true,

What is the Gospel, according to you?” (Unknown)

It doesn’t take much to leave a negative mark upon those lost people in your life:

  • An unkind remark
  • A critical spirit
  • An off-color joke

Conversely,

  • An act of kindness
  • A gentle touch
  • A restrained tongue

Also leave an impression – Perhaps plant a seed and initiate a hunger that is the beginning of their quest for God.

Many of our friends who are outside of Christ will rarely, if ever, darken the door of a church.

But you can be sure they are reading the Gospel through your life… for good or for bad.

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ… ” (2 Corinthians 3:2, 3a)

SO, WHAT IS THE GOSPEL, ACCORDING TO YOU?

The Lord is calling on us this all important month to show an act of kindness to someone around you. Stop pretending that you don’t know. Stop showing unconcern, be “kind” and another level of dominion will be credited in your account in heaven which will manifest here on earth.

Another lesson to learn in the message below about God kind of kindness, let get going:

“When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” Psalm 56:9

It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase, “God is for me.” He was “for us” before the worlds were made; He was “for us,” or He would not have given His well-beloved son; He was “for us” when He smote the Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of His wrath upon Him—He was “for us,” though He was against Him; He was “for us,” when we were ruined in the fall—He loved us notwithstanding all; He was “for us,” when we were rebels against Him, and with a high hand were bidding Him defiance; He was “for us,” or He would not have brought us humbly to seek His face.

He has been “for us” in many struggles; we have been summoned to encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by temptations from without and within—how could we have remained unharmed to this hour if He had not been “for us”?

He is “for us,” with all the infinity of His being; with all the omnipotence of His love; with all the infallibility of His wisdom; arrayed in all His divine attributes, He is “for us,”—eternally and immutably “for us”; “for us” when yon blue skies shall be rolled up like a worn out vesture; “for us” throughout eternity. And because He is “for us,” the voice of prayer will always ensure His help.

When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies be turned back.” This is no uncertain hope, but a well grounded assurance—”this I know.” I will direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up for the answer, assured that it will come, and that mine enemies shall be defeated, “for God is for me.” O believer, how happy art thou with the King of kings on thy side! How safe with such a Protector! How sure thy cause pleaded by such an Advocate! If God be for thee, who can be against thee?

All these I did for you, God is saying to you, what can you give in return? Take out time this week end and check if the Christian association of today decides to update the bible will the gospel according to you make a top list- food for thought.

Have a nice weekend and remember that you are writing daily an ‘epistle’ that will be read by those surrounding you in your neighborhood, offices, department, churches, schools, market and business environment, name it,

See you next week by the grace of God.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

 

God Will Not Forget

0

Thanks, thanks we give You thanks for all You have done. Father we are so blessed. Our soul has found rest O! God we give You Thanks.// Let the living praise the Lord; let the living praise the Lord 2x.

Father, we come with thanksgiving today to praise Your Holy Name, to worship and adore You Who is worthy of our praise.

Beloved, lift up your voice to worship God with thanksgiving songs. He is our Helper. He is our Healer, God is our Deliverer, if you are saying yes to these shout a big alleluia! Beloved did you listened to the song you just sang ‘let the living praise the Lord, let the living praise the Lord.’

Are You a living soul this morning? Then lift up your voice and shout a thunderous Alleluia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beloved, i believe you prayed yesterday as we were encouraged to pray? Because prayer is a legal ground to defeat the enemy of your soul. Through prayer kingdoms of darkness are chattered, deliverance come and gates are lifted.

Beloved you cannot afford to be slothful on in the place of prayer. Glorify God with your voice this moment, worship Him in the beauty of His holiness. You who is saying in your heart the Lord has forsaken me.

Hear what the Sovereign Lord said in our topic of today “I will never forget you.” Is that not comforting beloved?

The kindness of the God towards us that He has made in His image and delivered us from the claws of evil ones and brought us into His marvelous light is unlimited.

Child of God walk in faith and not by sight. We are delivered from darkness into God’s marvelous light.

Come to the living God, Who not forget you. God said in His Word that before you call, He answers. Won’t you rather believe the One Who made you in His image than listen to the voice of the greatest deceiver ever lived- satan. Glory be to God.

It is time to put your faith to work. Bestir yourself and be on alert. Do not doubt God rather doubt your doubt and honor God with your faith by repeatedly saying to yourself ‘I know whom I believe…’ 2Tim 1:12.

Surely, He will not forget you, He will not forgot your husband, God has not forgotten that way-ward child of yours, He has not forgotten about that needs of yours that makes you unrest. God says I will keep my Words to You. God sworn by Himself to keep His Words to you, why are you still allowing doubt to becloud your mind?

He is coming with deliverance on His wings, come-on, God will not forget you, has He said it, He will also do it. Come along with me as we run along for more discoveries:

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the child of her womb? Even if these forget, yet I will not forget you.”—Isaiah 49:15

God never becomes preoccupied or neglectful toward one of His children. God said it would be more likely for a nursing mother to forget the infant at her breast than for Him to forget one of His children! The nursing mother has a keen sensitivity to her baby. Even if the infant is in another room the mother’s senses are in tune with her child. The mother knows when it is time to feed and care for the child. The mother never becomes so preoccupied with other things that she neglects the needs of her child.

It is fitting that God chose this imagery to describe how He looks after His people, for He is more sensitive to the needs of His children than even the most loving mother. He anticipates every cry for help. Even before we can call out in need, God is responding with His answer (Isa. 65:24). This is one of the most comforting promises God has given to us: that He will never forget us.

Don’t let the difficult circumstances you are facing convince you that God has forgotten you. Don’t ever assume that God is more concerned with the needs of other, more significant, more spiritual people than He is with yours. Scripture teaches that God looks upon you with the same love, interest, and concern as a nursing mother would look upon her infant. It should reassure you to know that your Father loves you like that!

God is love and His mercies lives forever. Do you want to see the mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ? Don’t be like the people of the world who pretend as if everything is going well with them and you who is of God is imitating them instead of them imitating you- the ambassador of Jesus. Come as we learn from below:

 Alice And The Mad Hatter

Yesterday I had lunch with a friend who said the wheels were coming off his personal and professional life as he struggles to juggle all the balls in the air. His life, he said, seemed to consist of one mad rush to keep up with the rest of the pack.

As he talked, I was reminded of a scene at Disneyland where Alice in Wonderland dances with the Mad Hatter. Actually, it is only an illusion inventively created with lights and mirrors. A hologram.

We live in a world of holograms — where Christians are often caught in an enslaving scramble to keep up with those smooth characters who seem to be two or three steps above us on the professional, social, economic or educational ladder… Just out of our reach…

From our vantage point, “they have arrived,” while the rest of us mortals, (who are numbly unaware that the hologram is only an illusion of reality) sweat, scrabble, and puff, to get where we think they are, as we spend money we do not have to purchase things we do not need, in order to impress people we do not like.

Talk about enslavement!

So why are we chasing the holograms in our frantic pursuit to “arrive“. Because we love what we perceive to be their “Designer” lifestyles: There are never any holes in their socks; their teen-age kids are never plagued with acne, and there is never a cash flow problem in their business. And they always vacation in the exotic spots. In blissful harmony, of course.

The true disciple of Jesus who is walking by faith however, sees through the holograms to the reality of the eternal, (“we walk by faith, not by sight2 Corinthians 5:7) and as such is increasingly becoming a “stranger” and “pilgrim” on the earth — out of step (and sorts) with societies’ fixation on the revered hologram:

These peopleliving by faithadmitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth(and were) looking for a country of their ownlonging for a better country—a heavenly one.” (Hebrews 11:13, 14a)

QUESTION: Judging by your lifestyle, would you say that you are captivated by the illusive and illusionary holograms? Or by a vision of the eternal? How would the folks next door answer that question of you? (Adapted from FOTM)

Do you dare to seek God and believe all He is saying to you? Get ready because you are in for an explosive miracles in your life time.

Praise the Name of the Lord. Have faith in God, “He will never forget you” Faithful is He that….” (Heb 10:23; 1 Jn 1:9; Deut 7:9).

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Return to God

Baba eeee, Baba eeee, Baba eeee, baba eeee. Yesterday You reign, You regineth in my life. Today come and reign and reign forever more. Yesterday You reign, You reigneth in my life. Today come and reign and reign forever more. Baba eeee, Baba eeee, Baba eeee, Baba eeee,

O God You are faithful, Faithful, Faithful, Faithful; faithful, Faithful Faithful, faithful is the Lord. O God, You are faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful; Faithful, Faithful, Faithful, faithful is the Lord.

Father in heaven O God, how can we thank You enough for all You are doing for us, You gave us life, You gave us joy, You gave us salvation, You gave healings, You wrought deliverance in many facets of our lives. Father, You are too much, O Lord You have done so very much for us, glory be to You for ever and ever and ever in Jesus Name.

Beloved, behold we come before a Living God, the One Who was, Who is and Who will be forever more. Thank You Father, Thank You Lord. Let us lift up our voices and praise Him forever,; let us lift up our voices and honour Him Who is worthy forever more.

Beloved, where have you left God? Where did you abandoned Him? Where did you forsake your first love? You may be wondering why is ‘evangelist’ asking all this question. Well is important because it will help your way back home.

If you are able to figure out at what point you miss your way. It will be easier to trace your way back home. It will also be easier for you to know how to seek for help and forestalls future occurrence, glory be to God.

Have now recollected how it all started and how you came to the point where you are today? Have you remembered how your life which was on fire for Jesus suddenly went down and out? What happen to all those long hours spent on your knees crying unto God your Maker on your behalf and on behalf of other sinners to turn back to God?

Beloved, what happen to all those period you spent searching the scripture and mediating therein. What happen to all those times you spend receiving instruction and revelation from Your Father? O beloveth, where those happy moments spent in the court of the Lord singing, worship, praying the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Beloveth is important you spend some moment thinking on these thinks so as to know how it all started and played out.

Because it is then and only then will you be able to know how to turn away from that path that lead you astray unto the path of righteousness. Praise the Lord.

Someone is saying, O I remembered that it was when I got my job, with little time to study the Word again or go for prayer meetings again. Another voice is saying it is the arrival of my second baby with such chores at home and work demand I can no longer meet up on prayer meetings days, and gradually I stop.

And yet another voice is whispering, mine was the time I got my new appointment with unending meetings and work load with little or no time for myself, I hardly read the bible again. Another voice is weeping softly and confessing that since things became rosy she stop attending all those prayer meetings and vigil in some cases.

Many voices I am hearing in my spirit making different excuses and I am sensing so many with a repented heart, crying with their hands up, asking how would they come out of these.

And the word of the Lord says “if my people, who are called by my Name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2Chr 7:14

Beloveth, the Lord is willing to welcome you back, He made you and He knows you. He searches the heart and He knows them that are calling Him genuinely. He knows your heart even when you are seeking for His help that you fail once you are out of the wood but He still blessed you to let you know how weak you are outside Him.

Repent from those path that takes you further away from Him. Those relationships that left you with little or no time for Christ. Repent and come back to Him, He is waiting to welcome you back home back into the fold again. God bless you as you do so now in Jesus Name.

If you have resolve to come home, let get into today’s teaching:

“So tell the people: This is what the Lord of Hosts says: Return to Me”—[this is] the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“and I will return to you, says the Lord of Hosts.”—Zechariah 1:3

God places much of the burden of what we will become on our response to Him. If we have drifted from God, His call is to return to Him. God promises that if we will return, He will immediately renew His relationship with us. James 4:8 promises that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. Matthew 7:7 guarantees that if we seek Christ, we will find Him. Much of the Christian life rests upon our response and our desire to experience God to the fullest.

Why is it that some Christians seem to go so much deeper in their walk with God than others? Why have some had such powerful intercessory prayer ministries that have changed the courses of nations? Why has God chosen to anoint the words of some so that, when they speak or pray or preach, it is obvious that their words are consecrated by God? It is because these individuals have committed themselves to pursue God until His presence is powerfully real in their lives. They have decided to settle for nothing less than a vibrant relationship with God, and He has honored their desire.

Have you become complacent with your relationship with God, or are you hungering for more? Don’t become satisfied with a relationship with God that is broken by sin and void of the power of the Holy Spirit. You have just as much of God’s powerful presence available to you as the greatest saint in Christian history! Return to God.

There is so much more in store for you if you will return to Him. He awaits your response. Let keep going:

“The illfavoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven wellfavoured and fat kine.” Genesis 41:4

Pharaoh’s dream has too often been my waking experience. My days of sloth have ruinously destroyed all that I had achieved in times of zealous industry; my seasons of coldness have frozen all the genial glow of my periods of fervency and enthusiasm; and my fits of worldliness have thrown me back from my advances in the divine life.

I had need to beware of lean prayers, lean praises, lean duties, and lean experiences, for these will eat up the fat of my comfort and peace. If I neglect prayer for never so short a time, I lose all the spirituality to which I had attained; if I draw no fresh supplies from heaven, the old corn in my granary is soon consumed by the famine which rages in my soul.

When the caterpillars of indifference, the cankerworms of worldliness, and the palmerworms of self-indulgence, lay my heart completely desolate, and make my soul to languish, all my former fruitfulness and growth in grace avails me nothing whatever.

How anxious should I be to have no lean-fleshed days, no ill-favoured hours! If every day I journeyed towards the goal of my desires I should soon reach it, but backsliding leaves me still far off from the prize of my high calling, and robs me of the advances which I had so laboriously made.

The only way in which all my days can be as the “fat kine,” is to feed them in the right meadow, to spend them with the Lord, in His service, in His company, in His fear, and in His way. Why should not every year be richer than the past, in love, and usefulness, and joy?—I am nearer the celestial hills, I have had more experience of my Lord, and should be more like Him.

O Lord, keep far from me the curse of leanness of soul; let me not have to cry, “My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!” but may I be well-fed and nourished in Thy house, that I may praise Thy name.

The message said it all. Turn to God in prayer and seek genuine help from Him. He will help you. The Holy Spirit will begin to show you what to do to get back to your feet again. You can start with five minutes each for praise, the Word, and prayer, That will be fifteen minutes in all and before you know it you will move up to thirty minutes, way up to an hour and you will be yearning for more but you need to start again by five minutes for each and when You gain momentum you will fly away in the Spirit.

Don’t wait for a convenient time to start, start as you are reading that is how to overcome satan, he will steal this moment from you if you don’t start right now as you read. He will keep you busier than you were before now. Cry to the Lord for help.

I see help coming your way. You cannot afford to be without prayer. You cannot afford to be without the Word Beloved, seek the Lord now!!!!!!!!!!

And you will find Him. He is closer than the breath in your nostrils. He is closer than the flesh that covers your body. Surprise! Never. God resides in your heart, do not push Him away with wishful thinking and unproductive activities in Jesus Name. I will hear your testimony before long.

Don’t let these moment of reconciliation go. Complacence can lead to death. Awake your prayer life again. Return dear beloved even as your Heavenly Father bids you.

Remain blessed in the Lord

Slaves of Righteousness

I praise You, I praise You O Lord, in my life, I see what You one more time Lord, I lift up my voice to You.// You are the Pillar that holds my life. Master Jesus, You are the pillar that holds my life.

Father, we Thank You, we blessed Your Holy Name we worship You, we give You praise, we give You adoration in the name of Jesus. Thank You for making it possible for us to be among the living. Thank You O Lord for upholding us O Lord, in spite of entice of the devil to pull us down. To make us lose our testimony in Christ. Glory be to You Lord. Continue O Lord to teach us Thy way (Ps 27:11).

Merciful Jesus Thank You for being our Light Jn 1:4. Shine through us, we pray thee that we may be true ambassadors of yours, doers of Your Word and not forgetful hearers in Jesus Name.

Dear beloved hope you said amen to the prayer above. Why, someone wants to know. Kindness can come in various form. Sometime you may be directly involve, at other times it might be your concurrence that will actualize the act of kindness. So be careful not to misjudge any situation (Heb 4:14)

You may see yourself in a situation where the devil has sorely afflicted and you are left with nothing than to turn your back to such an individual in a critical situation. Beloved, if you have been following our teachings here, we have pointed out on many occasion who your real enemy is.

Beloveth, though the attacked might be through an individual or a group but is important for you to know the ‘person’ behind the mask – the devil.

The situation I am painting here is a real life situation. You may be a manager in an office or a messenger either in the office or home, it cuts across. As a manager, before you is an appraisal of this individual who have allowed the devil to use him against you and sincerely you will want use the big stick because it is in your custody.

The same enemy is at work, telling you why this is an opportune time for you. Beloveth it might be more than that, it might be more than appraisal issue. It might be a situation to save a life or a family member from ejection but because you are sorely bitter, your refusal might cost a life which will lead to blaspheming the Name of Lord.

I pray for you that God will help you at such trying times (Ps 119:173). When you will look beyond who you are, the hurting on your personality or otherwise. You must remember that Christ was also sorely waxed, denied by one of His disciple and was betrayed by another one. But He forgave all.

Again you are Christ ambassador, you must do exactly what Jesus would do in such a situation. It takes God to look beyond pains and insults inflicted on you and humbly surrender to Jesus, Who though was chastise but He responded not but humbled himself to the point of death on the cross.

Slave to righteousness is a message you keep in view to constantly remind yourself who you are in Christ Jesus. My prayer for you is that you will not fail God. You must stand up for righteousness at all times and you see God fighting all your battle and putting the devil under your feet forever in Jesus’s Name.

Again, having reminded ourselves that there is nothing too difficult for God to do yesterday, it does not matter what is happening around you or what you are passing through. What is important is that you have a Father who can do all things; of whom everything is possible and stand in awe of Who He is. Praise God (Ps 62:5-8). I want you to know also that if you suffer for Christ sake now, you will also reign with Him hereafter.

Come along with me as we dig further on this:

And having been liberated from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.—Romans 6:18

Before you were a Christian you were a slave, in bondage to sin. Even when you did not want to sin, you were unable to do otherwise (Rom. 7:15–24). When God saved you, He freed you from sin, but you remained a slave. Now, rather than being bound to sin, you are bound to righteousness. In every area of your life you are obligated to do what honors God.

There are some who believe that when Christ sets them free, they are free to do whatever they want. That is not so. The apostle Paul realized that when he began following Christ he became a “bondservant” of Christ, and his life was no longer his own (Rom. 1:1). Now, rather than being enslaved to sin, he was enslaved to God and His righteousness.

When people mistreated him, he had forfeited the right to respond from his natural feelings but was compelled to offer a righteous response. When he was tempted, he was no longer free to succumb to his feelings. Paul could not enter the workplace and act selfishly. He understood that, as a slave of righteousness, he was obligated to live a holy life, honoring his Master.

Righteous living is not an option for a Christian. Nor is it something we must try to do over time. It is an obligation, mandatory for every child of God. Our freedom in Christ is not freedom to do what we want. It is freedom to live righteously, something we could not do when we were in bondage to sin. Now that we are free to live righteously, we must allow the Holy Spirit to produce in us a holy, sanctified life (1 John 3:7).

May God be your help at such a time in Jesus Name (Job 35:9-11). Your God is more than able if you can ask Him to give you wisdom you need to run the race and the grace to be humble.

Let’s keep going:

 

“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him.” 2Timothy 2:12

 

We must not imagine that we are suffering for Christ, and with Christ, if we are not in Christ. Beloved friend, are you trusting to Jesus only? If not, whatever you may have to mourn over on earth, you are not “suffering with Christ,” land have no hope of reigning with Him in heaven. Neither are we to conclude that all a Christian’s sufferings are sufferings with Christ, for it is essential that he be called by God to suffer.

If we are rash and imprudent, and run into positions for which neither providence nor grace has fitted us, we ought to question whether we are not rather sinning than communing with Jesus. If we let passion take the place of judgment, and self-will reign instead of Scriptural authority, we shall fight the Lord’s battles with the devil’s weapons, and if we cut our own fingers we must not be surprised.

Again, in troubles which come upon us as the result of sin, we must not dream that we are suffering with Christ. When Miriam spoke evil of Moses, and the leprosy polluted her, she was not suffering for God. Moreover, suffering which God accepts must have God’s glory as its end. If I suffer that I may earn a name, or win applause, I shall get no other reward than that of the Pharisee.

It is requisite also that love to Jesus, and love to His elect, be ever the mainspring of all our patience. We must manifest the Spirit of Christ in meekness, gentleness, and forgiveness. Let us search and see if we truly suffer with Jesus. And if we do thus suffer, what is our “light affliction” compared with reigning with Him?

Oh it is so blessed to be in the furnace with Christ, and such an honour to stand in the pillory with Him, that if there were no future reward, we might count ourselves happy in present honour; but when the recompense is so eternal, so infinitely more than we had any right to expect, shall we not take up the cross with alacrity, and go on our way rejoicing?

In Phil 4:13, the bible says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Tell God to help you to go in the strength of the Lord for you cannot help yourself aside Him (Ps 71:16; 1Jn 1:3).

Finally, I pray that an Abigail be sent your way so that you will not avenge your hurt (! Sam 25:32; Ps 119:173). Beloved read Rom 12:10 – 21- the Christian Sword I call it and one of tenets in this ministry and you will be richly blessed.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Father, we Thank You, we honour You, we glorify Name forever and ever. O Lord our God, Your children are saying Lord “You are worthy”. Is there anything difficulty for God to do?

My God is everlasting God, His right Hand does might deed in the lives of those that place their hope in Him. He faileth not, He will never fail us; neither will forget His own. Glorious God have Your way again today and do that which only You can do in our lives in Jesus Name.

Beloveth, welcome to another glorious time in the presence of our Father. We will experience Him afresh like never before. Yours is to believe and position yourself for His touch when He passes you by. Bestir yourself as faith cometh by hearing and reading the Word of God. Praise the Lord someone!

Beloved, what engenders Kindness? Every act of kindness I have come across is born out selflessness. Aside God has the ability to do all things, any man who goes out his way to show kindness is inspire by a higher power than Him. Such an individual often times has crucified their flesh that it respond to what God wants and as such will be a great instrument in the hand of His Creator, God Almighty.

God loves us so much that He gave His best to us. therefore the man who will dares to live like God must have the confident that if it God’s command to be kind, even the little he has will be multiplied as he extend his seeming last to someone in dare need of what he possesses. Praise the Lord.

The widow of Zarephath had a little oil and flour when the prophet Elijah came knocking at her door for an act of kindness. She chose to believe the man of God and obey what she was told and that is the breakthrough she must have prayed for but never knew how it will come to pass since there was a drought in the land. But this act, firstly- obedience, seconded by kindness miraculously supplied her flour and oil according the Word of Lord as was spoken by Elijah.

That same miracle is up for grab this time. Your act of kindness this month will open a door unto you that no one, not devil or his cohorts will be able to close in Jesus Name. Be obedient to the Word in season and see heaven taking over your case and making it first on the agenda of God in Jesus Name.

I am believing God that you and I will further secure our dominion by the several acts of kindness God will be bringing our way this month in Jesus Name.

However, the topic of today is to build us up as we steady look upon Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Let us therefore come to Him with the confident hope that can only be secure in Him and not in what we have or have not.

Beloved, there may also be many other areas you are trusting God and my prayer that today’s message will address it in Jesus Name. Come along with me for I can’t any wait any longer to get into this revelation:

Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.—Hebrews 10:23

Hope in the Christian’s life is not wishful thinking. It is confident expectation. Those without Christ may wish things were different and wish they knew someone who could change their situations. The Christian is personally related to the Lord of the universe, who is sovereign not only over all creation but also over every circumstance we experience. We can live with confidence because our hope is in One who is faithful.

When God speaks, He stands by His word to see that it comes to pass (Isa. 55:11). When God speaks a word to you, trust Him completely, for God never deceives His children. If God has indicated to you that He is going to do something, you can be absolutely confident that He will do it.

Do you wonder why unrighteous people seem to prosper while righteous people suffer? Jesus promised that each would eventually receive a just reward (Luke 16:19–31). Do you wonder if all the effort you have put into training your children in God’s ways will bear fruit when they become adults? God promised it would (Prov. 22:6). Do you wonder if the things you renounced when you became a Christian will be replaced by God’s blessings? Jesus assured us we would receive a hundred times as much (Mark 10:29–30). Do you doubt that Jesus will return and join us with those who have already died? Scripture indicates this certainty (1 Thess. 4:13–18).

Our hope is not mere speculation in what God might do. God has given His word on many areas of life regarding things He will do. We can have confident hope in everything that He has promised.

Yes that is our confident that when we have done our part here we will have our Father welcoming us at the other end.

Beloved, the next message before us is a very interesting one. Sometimes, we receive instruction from the Lord that paralyzes our little faith. We want yearn, we jitter, we are afraid to go ahead with the instruction heaven is giving us to do. You don’t need to be afraid, you are not alone in it. Prophet Jeremiah was faced with same.

But we need to discover what he did together:

“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.” Jeremiah 32:17

At the very time when the Chaldeans surrounded Jerusalem, and when the sword, famine and pestilence had desolated the land, Jeremiah was commanded by God to purchase a field, and have the deed of transfer legally sealed and witnessed.

This was a strange purchase for a rational man to make. Prudence could not justify it, for it was buying with scarcely a probability that the person purchasing could ever enjoy the possession. But it was enough for Jeremiah that his God had bidden him, for well he knew that God will be justified of all His children.

He reasoned thus: “Ah, Lord God! Thou canst make this plot of ground of use to me; Thou canst rid this land of these oppressors; Thou canst make me yet sit under my vine and my fig-tree in the heritage which I have bought; for Thou didst make the heavens and the earth, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.”

This gave a majesty to the early saints, that they dared to do at God’s command things which carnal reason would condemn. Whether it be a Noah who is to build a ship on dry land, an Abraham who is to offer up his only son, or a Moses who is to despise the treasures of Egypt, or a Joshua who is to besiege Jericho seven days, using no weapons but the blasts of rams’ horns, they all act upon God’s command, contrary to the dictates of carnal reason; and the Lord gives them a rich reward as the result of their obedient faith.

Would to God we had in the religion of these modern times a more potent infusion of this heroic faith in God. If we would venture more upon the naked promise of God, we should enter a world of wonders to which as yet we are strangers.

 Let Jeremiah’s place of confidence be ours—nothing is too hard for the God that created the heavens and the earth.

On this note dear beloved, we set the ball rolling this morning. I believe God of heaven and earth will see us through as we obey His command in Jesus Name (1Pet 2:6).

This week is declared blessed in Jesus Name. Go and come back with testimonies by the end of the week in the Name of Jesus.

Remain blessed in Jesus Name.
