Church Security. God protects His Church. God is deeply interested in the spiritual and physical safety of His Church
INTRODUCTION:
The Almighty God is deeply interested in the spiritual and physical safety of His Church. God protects His Church. We should be prepared to do what needs to be done to protect ourselves, but our overall safety is of the Lord. See Proverbs 21:31; Psalm 127:1.
It will therefore be foolish not to take the measures that are within our purview to protect ourselves.
There is a general misconception that since our security is in the hands of God, we do not need to bother ourselves much about security issues.
Indeed Psalm 91 and Psalm 127:1 and many others offer solid assurances to us about God’s protective shield over His children. But we will also note that David who wrote Psalm 91, 46, 23 and many others had body guards. See 2Chronicles 11: 24 – 26; 2 Samuel 23:22-24.
David chose the best among the warriors as his own personal security guards. Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was one of David’s “mighty men”, a collection of the very best, the toughest military men.
The Bible describes Benaiah as a fearless warrior noted for his heroic exploits. 1 Chronicles 11:22. Throughout his reign David maintained a very powerful standing army. 2 Samuel 8:18; 20:23; 23:23; 1Chronicles 18:17.
God expects us to be mindful of our physical security.
GOD IS INTERESTED IN SECURITY
Security as a concept originated from God. God takes security very seriously; He neither sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121:4). See also Genesis 3:24; Isaiah 14:12-20; Revelation 12:7-9. God is actually the Commander of the host of heaven – He is charge of the security of the world. God is Jehovah Sabaoth. Psalm 46:7. God watches after the world. Psalm 127:1.
There are biblical references which support the view that God is invested and interested in security.
In Genesis 3:24, we see a cherubim guarding the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword.
The Bible describes Angel Michael in terms that reflect his status as a warrior leading an uncountable number of very powerful fighting angels who excel in strength. Psalms 103:20.
Michael the Archangel is in a sense, Heaven’s 5-star General. See Daniel 10:1321; 12:1; Revelation 12:7-8.
Believers must therefore note the following facts:
1. It is God, not humans that invented security. Genesis 3:24, Isaiah 14:12-20; Revelation 12:7-9.
2. God has emplaced security in the present heaven. Isaiah 14:12-20; Revelation 12:7-9.
3. God deployed security to guard the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:23-24.
4. God has designed a security architecture for the coming New Heaven and New Earth. Revelation 21:12. The gates of the New Heaven and New Earth will be guarded by angels. Revelation 21:27.
5. Our protection is God’s duty, and this is guaranteed. See Psalm 121:4. 6. God deploys chariots for the protection and defence of His choice vessels whose destinies and ministries are tied to destinies of nations. See 2Kings 6:16-18. 7. We must fulfil our part in God’s security architecture for the Church. Do not take chances with Church security. See Ephesians 4:27, 1Peter 5:8.
PYSICAL SECURITY IN THE BIBLE
There are many instances in the Bible to support the view that God wants us to be proactive concerning our physical safety.
Moses defended the daughters of Jethro when other shepherds drove them and their flocks away from the watering place. See Exodus 2:16-17.
The ancient congregations of Israel had gatekeepers who watched out for danger. Let us not be “in the spirit” such that we neglect to do the things that God requires us to do for our safety. See 1 Chron 9:21-24, Nehemiah 4:10-23. But more critically, see Luke 22:36.
The Church must protect itself from enemies that will easily harm us if we are not watching.
God expects us to be wise. See also, Numbers 1:53, 2Kings 11:7, 11, Esther 8:10-11, Exodus 2:16-17, Judges 2:16, Psalm 94:16, Ezekiel 33:1-9, Luke 22:36-38 and Psalm 144:1, 6.
The Bible has a lot to say about not ignoring physical safety.
In Luke 22:36, the Lord directed His disciples to carry a sword for protection.
Paul the Apostle was kept from those who would have harmed him on many occasions. See Acts 9:25; 17:10; 19:30; and 23:10.
Nehemiah trusted God for the safety of the children of Israel but they held swords in one hand for their protection as they built the broken-down walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 4:18.
Father Abraham had trained security guards. Genesis 14:14.
The Lord told us to turn the other cheek in Matt 5:39, but this was within the framework of self-control in personal interactions. He commanded the disciples to be armed for their protection in perilous times or situations. See Luke 22:36-38.
Consider this:
1. The Levites were not only to help the priests in their service and administration, but also to be guards for the Tabernacle, and later for the Temple. See Numbers 1:53.
2. Benaiah who was a member of King David’s team tagged his mighty men, was the son of Jehoiada, a priest. See 1Chron 11:21-23; 12:27.
3. After the usurper, Queen Athaliah had reigned for eight years, the High Priest Jehoiada had Levites who were Temple guards to serve as the personal bodyguards for Prince Joash as he was crowned the King. See 2 Kings 11:17-11.
4. God always raised men and women in the mould of military leaders to rescue Israel from their oppressors. See Judges 2:16.
5. When Mordecai became the Prime Minister of Persia, he authorized the Jews to defend themselves if attacked. See Esther 8:9-11.
6. In the Old Testament, God promised the Israelites that they would dwell in the land in safety if they obeyed His commandments. He was guaranteeing their safety. Deuteronomy 12:10. See Leviticus 25:18–19; 26:37. The Israelites defended themselves against the Amalekites after leaving Egypt. See Exodus 17:8-16. 8. The Lord Jesus taught His disciples the importance of self-defence. See Luke 22:35-36.
CONCLUSION
Children of God must be actively involved in designing physical security measures to keep worshippers safe. There were angels all around baby Jesus, but Joseph played his part.
Matthew 2:12-15. Believers must proactively prepare for unforeseen security challenges.
Proverbs 22:3. We must responsibly protect our worship places and homes.
Luke 11:2. Saints of God must be security conscious at all times, but not out of fear.
Matthew 24:43. It is Biblical to defend ourselves against attackers, in concert with state security agents.
Esther 8:10-11. We are to watch and pray.
Mathew 26:4. Vigilance must precede our prayers. Vigilance should and must be our watchword at all times. The fact is security begins with you the individual. You are in reality the best security officer for your life and personal property. It is true that as children of God, we are encompassed with a network of angelic guards (Psalm 91:1, 11-12) and in some cases, human security operatives, but we must take charge of our personal and collective safety. This has to remain our personal nonexchangeable responsibility (Nehemiah 4:9).

Today I’ll be talking to us briefly on the topic “No More Reproach”, and the text is taken from Joshua 5: 3-9.
A reproach is a state of shame or loss of honor and goodwill; it is a stigma, it’s a taboo, or an abomination or shortcomings; it’s a state of disgrace.
What are the major causes of reproach?
Failure:it simply means lack of success. Luke 5:5.
Barrenness: can either mean not good enough or a state of not producing fruit or seed. Mark 11: 12 – 14, 1st Samuel 1: 1 -10, Genesis 30: 1 & 2.
Debt or indebtedness: arise(s) as a result of lack of cash flow or revenue; it’s a state of cash crunch and bankruptcy; it’s a state of default in meeting financial obligations as at when due. 2nd Kings 4.
Disability: is a state of physical or mental condition that makes you not to be able to apply a part of your body either completely or partially; it’s a state of incapacitation. John 5, Acts of Apostles 3: 1 & 2.
Slavery, bondage and oppression. Exodus 3: 1-8.
Sin, ignorance and the devil. Romans 6: 23.

God vested all authority in the name of Jesus. Use the Name of Jesus. The Dominion Of Christ Name.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God (Mark 16:19).
The Bible says God vested all authority in the Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-10); His Name has the greatest honour, the greatest authority ever! Today, if you believe in that Name, happy are you! It doesn’t matter what might have plagued you; it doesn’t matter for how long you’ve been under or on the sidewalk of life; your victory is guaranteed.
Many haven’t understood the power, glory and dominion of His Name. His Name destroys cancer, brings health and wholeness to your physical body. His Name brings you liberty from the bondage of Satan. Are you in a dilemma or a tempestuous situation? Use the Name of Jesus. His Name has power in heaven, in the earth, and under the earth.
No demon can resist the power and dominion of His Name. His Name is an instrument; it’s a weapon! It’s guaranteed to produce the result you expect because when you make a demand in His Name, it’s as though Jesus Himself were making that demand. Everything that exists in this world and beyond is subject to His Name.
1 John 5:13 reveals something beautiful; it tells us to believe on the Name of the Son of God. That simply means to put the Name of Jesus to work! It’s your access to a life of unending victories, ever-increasing glory and abundant blessings. Philippians 2:10 says, “…at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.”
In your life, be unruffled and at peace every day, irrespective of the adversaries or adversities that you might face. His Name is your defence and assurance of victory. Maybe today, some doors seem to have been shut against you; there’s pressure and tension on every side; use the Name of Jesus. His Name can be trusted. Trust and call on that Name today. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray for God’s children around the world who are sick in their bodies. I pass healing to them; the liberty of Jesus Christ is theirs, and right now, the feeling of wellness returns to them. I declare that they’re free by the power of the Holy Ghost! I pray specially for children; I command the demons of affliction to depart from them! Divine healing is raining on God’s people all around the world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Philippians 2:9-11

If someone listens to God’s word but doesn’t do what it says, he is like a person who looks at his face in a mirror, studies his features, goes away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. James 1:23–24, GW
The Right Mirror!
James says that God’s Word is like a mirror. It reflects who you really are. What God says about you is the true image that you need to keep in front of you. You are not defined by people, by your past, by how you were raised, or by what didn’t work out. You are defined by your Creator. When you look in the mirror of God’s Word, you’ll see that you are valuable, talented, confident, favored, blessed, and worthy. You have to see it on the inside before it will happen on the outside. You have to start seeing yourself as whole, as free, as forgiven and clean, as redeemed and restored. Start seeing yourself as blessed, prosperous, crowned with favor, one of a kind. As you see yourself as God sees you, it begins to heal a damaged self-image, to repair the hurts and scars that have caused you to see yourself as lacking, inferior, unqualified. It may not happen overnight, but if you keep seeing yourself the right way, little by little you’re going to become what you’re seeing.
Prayer!
“Father, thank You that You have made me the way I am and that what You say about me is my true image. Thank You that Your Word defines me rather than what other people say about me or what has happened in my past. I declare that I am becoming more and more like who You say I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Though the Lord is on high, yet He regards the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar. Psalm 138:6
God is the greatest; yet as great as He is, He regards us all. He sent His Son Jesus to pay the price for the salvation of everyone in the world no matter who they are or what they’ve done. His mercy and love are for everyone.
Therefore, you should regard everyone too. Regarding others means you treat them honourably, and respectfully no matter who they are. This is the right way to behave as God’s child.
1 John 3:8
Let’s Pray
Thank you, dear Father, for teaching me through Your Word today to honour and regard everyone, for you love them as much as you have loved me and each one is valuable to you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Thank You Jesus,

INTRODUCTION: The general theme of Paul’s letter to the church in Rome was the righteousness of God. In our earlier studies, we learnt that all humanity is hopelessly guilty of sin and needs to be rescued. Though the Jewish believed they were better off than the non-Jewish as God gave them the law or Torah to guide the way they lived, we saw that they were wrong, as they are as sinful as the rest of humanity. We learnt that there can be no salvation based on obeying the law. God loves humanity and because of His righteousness, He made provisions for saving humanity by sending Jesus Christ as a Messiah to die as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus also resurrected thereby making life available to all people. Once we have faith in Christ, we are given a new status, become a member of a new family, forgiven our sins, have a new future and can begin a journey of a transformed life by God’s grace. Last week, we examined death through Adam and Life through Christ, emphasizing that justification by faith in Christ creates new humanity and is the only way to salvation. Also, by baptism we identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus to live a new life. We also discussed the availability of Grace, concluding it is always available. Today, we continue to look at God’s creation of a new humanity, by closely examining the law and its purpose and what the actual problem of humanity is, concluding in chapter 8 that the real solution is Jesus and the Spirit that enable people fulfil the call of the commands to love God and their neighbour.
OUTLINE 1
I. FREED FROM THE LAW/AN ILLUSTRATION FROM MARRIAGE – ROMANS 7: 1 – 6:
• The law only has authority over the living: Romans 7:1-3.
• Union with Christ frees from bondage of law: Romans 7: 4- 6.
ii. LAW AND SIN – ROMANS 7: 7 – 12
• The law is not sin but reveals what sin is: verse 7.
• Without law, there is no sin and sin is dead. Sin produces evil desires: Romans7: 8; Romans 4:15; 1Corinthians 15:56
• With the law and commandments, all will be guilty and die: Romans 7: 10.
• The Law is holy, just and good – verse 12: 1 Timothy 1:8
iii. INNER CONFLICT/LAW CANNOT SAVE FROM SIN – ROMANS 7: 13 – 25
• The law by itself is spiritual and good because it reveals our sinful nature: Romans7: 14 -16.
• Sin in our natural bodies makes us misbehave – Romans 7:17 – 20; Acts 10:1 -2, 44 – 46.
• Law cannot save from sin: Romans 7:23 – 25; Romans 8:3
• Be a slave to God’s law – Romans 7:25;
OUTLINE 2
I. SPIRITUAL FREEDOM/FREE FROM INDWELLING SIN – ROMANS 8: 1 – 11
• Justification by Grace through faith in Christ alone – verse 1-4; Galatians 2:19; Romans 5:21; Ephesians 2:8-9.
• Carnal mind vs Spiritual mind/Sanctification and the work of the Holy Spirit: verse 5-11.
ii. LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT – ROMANS 8: 12 – 17
• Put to death the flesh and live: Romans 8:13: Galatians 5:17, 19 – 21;2 Corinthians 5:17.
• Adopted sonship with the father – verse 14 – 15
• Children of God: Romans 8: 16 – 17.
iii. FROM SUFFERING TO GLORY – ROMANS 8: 18 – 30
• Delayed gratifications – sufferings now cannot compare with future glory: Romans 8:18-19.
• Spiritual liberty: Romans 8: 21
• There is a period of waiting with expectation and perseverance– Romans 8:23, 25; Philippians 3:21.
• Intercession of the Holy Spirit according to the will of God: Romans 8: 26 – 27.
• All things work together for good to those who love God; the called according to His purpose: Romans 8: 28.
• Christian calling is a foreordained plan: Romans 8: 29-30; Jeremiah 1:5.
iv. GOD’S EVERLASTING LOVE – ROMANS 8: 31 – 39
• We have confidence in God: Romans 8: 31, 33. If God is for us, who can be against us?
• We are assured of God’s wonderful love: Romans 8:32.
• No condemnation for us as Christ died, is risen and sits at God’s right hand of God interceding for us. Romans 8:34.
• We have spiritual victory through Christ, and nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ. Romans 8: 35- 37.
• Inseparable from the love of God. Romans 8: 38 – 39.
CONCLUSION
God’s plan for humanity is to have a unified church – a faith-based, multi-ethnic family as his covenant children, justified by their faith in Jesus and raised with Him from the dead. Only these members of a new humanity – those born again, who surrender to the lordship of Jesus can truly love him. They are free from the law because they died to sin and have their faith in Jesus who died and paid for their sin. They are the ones that can truly love God and their neighbours. They have been given God’s Spirit and are able to call God their father. They are also co-heirs with Christ and will enjoy blessings kept for God’s children. They are assured of God’s eternal love and are inseparable from the love of God. By contrast, those who seem good to the world but are not saved do not have the Spirit of God in them, so they cannot be God’s. The end for sinners is death, whilst the saved pass on to eternal life and can never perish. John 10:28.

When “it” finishes now, you will be the first to ask “What was he doing with his salaries?”
The Month of April is coming to an end in few days’ time and I am grateful to GOD for life and provision and every other thing He alone chose to bring my way.
Thank You JESUS!
In this month of April I got 55 calls, chats and text messages for financial assistance, ranging from Urgent 2k to N500K.
Yes! I started counted them when they started becoming too much!
Now, I can no longer comment on a status, without getting a text for help! I don’t blame anybody, Nigeria is tough at the moment, but remember we are all in it!
Some friends, I am even afraid to call and check up on them, Why check up on them when you cannot elevate their suffering.
I keep wondering why these people think I have all this money! Even if I am super rich, I still have my own challenges.
I have not built a house for myself and for my family, which is one primary concern of every good man. I am not talking of my dream house, just a roof over my head that will cancel the yoke of house rent in my life forever.
A Wealthy Man Should At Least Have His Own House, No Tenant Is Wealthy! Every Tenant Is Struggling!
Any Tom, Dick and Harry can own a car, but A HOUSE! It takes an ODOGWU to be a LANDLORD or A LANDLADY!
I wouldn’t even mention friends that sells goods I will categorized as luxuries at the moment that gets mad when you exit their whatapp groups or when you tell them in your nonsense voice to stop bombarding your phones with pictures of things you don’t need at the moment, why flood my phones daily with more than 30 pictures and still flood your whatapp status with the same pictures and my phones automatically save all these pictures and videos on my devices, cluttering their internal memories.
We are all trying to survive!
I am cutting off some things in my life to enable survive Nigeria with the Grace of GOD!
I told a friend I have not switched on my generator for 6 years, he couldn’t believe me, he asked me why, I told him, I cannot be fuelling my car and my generator at the same time!
A kilo of chicken is now N6k, which is just one lap of a chicken Oooo! I have cancelled chicken from my menu.
I buy one crate of egg, which is 30 pieces of eggs, we go chop am for 2 weeks.
Still typing ………

No Compromises! Christianity Is A Call To Righteousness.
Romans 12:2 CEV “Don’t be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him.”
Some Christians want to see God’s glory in their lives, but they choose to live differently from what the Word says. It can’t work that way! You’ve got to live in accordance with your righteous nature, and the Word of God is the light that you need to do so.
There’re many things that try to distract you from following the Lord and living according to His Word, but the scripture says, “Don’t be conformed to this world!” Though you’re in the world, you’re not of the world; you’re different and you’ve got a new life in Christ now.
Therefore, don’t compromise! Live in God’s Word. Let nothing of the world lure you because Christianity is a call to righteousness. Right living is a product of righteousness, and the reason you can live right is that God has given you righteousness as a gift (Romans 5:17).
You shouldn’t live like those who have never known the Lord. Live by the Word. We’re Word practitioners (James 1:22); we produce fruits of righteousness. How can you comfortably lift your hands in worship and say, “I love you, Lord,” and not keep His Word? The proof of your love for Him is doing His Word. He said, “If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you” (John 14:15 MSG). Prove your love by living for Him and doing His Word. Manifest His character, His life, and righteousness, and give full expression to that glorious and righteous nature in you.
Hebrews 12:1-2
1 John 3:10
1 John 5:2-3
Pray
My life is a manifestation of the righteousness of God. I live to manifest the life and character of Christ, and the glory of God is revealed in, and through me today as I live in the Word, through the Word, and by the Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Mark 13
Numbers 22-23
Matthew 21:12-17

What’s been distracting you in your Christian walk? It’s time to identify them and put them aside. Set your focus once again on the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
The story of THEWORD is the story of our Lord Jesus. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14). Everything you see was made by the Word; He was the ‘voice’ Adam and Eve heard walking in the garden (Genesis 3:8), and the Wisdom David and Solomon described in the Scriptures. He is God Himself, and He came to the world to save us all. Hallelujah! Amen.
I encourage you to share this story of hope and love with someone today and use the prayer of salvation to get them saved. It’s a story worth sharing!

Order That Devil Out! You’ve Got God-Given Authority Over Devils.
Luke 8:28-29 “… “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man….”
When you read this account of the demon-possessed man at Gadara in full detail, you begin to wonder, “Why didn’t the devils come out immediately, rather than the man running to Jesus?” Let me explain: First, you need to understand that every human being has to run his own life; you can’t cast the devil out of someone who doesn’t want the devil to go, except the person places himself under your influence. This mad man at Gadara was possessed by demons for a long time. He was so maniacal that he cut himself with sharp stones, night and day, and anytime he was bound with chains and fetters, he broke them (Luke 8:27-33).
Now, something happened before he ran towards Jesus; when Jesus was still a distance away, the devil in him cried out with a loud voice; that’s what we read in our opening verse; this happened when the Lord first commanded the devil to come out of the man. So, even though the devil didn’t leave the man, he couldn’t stop him from running to Jesus. Until the man in question placed himself under the Master’s influence, by running towards Him, he couldn’t be helped. It’s the same way today.
You’ve got authority over all demons and the cohorts of darkness in the Name of Jesus. If there’s anything you’re uncomfortable with, and you can perceive that a demon is responsible, order him out. You don’t have to scream and shout to do it; there’s no distance in the realm of the spirit.
Command him to stop his operations and manoeuvres; it doesn’t matter where he is in this world, he’ll hear you. However, remember, when it has to do with casting him out of a person, it works best when that one places himself under your influence.
1 Timothy 2:1-2
Mark 16:17-18
PRAY
Thank you, Father, for the ability to cast out devils in the Name of Jesus; I will exercise that dominion today, and frustrate the influence and manipulations of satan in everything that concerns me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Luke 1:1-25
Deuteronomy 3-4
Matthew 23:1-12
Exodus 24
Action
If there’s someone around you that has a problem with a demon, you can cast it out of him or her in the Name of Jesus.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:4-6)
God wants us to catch this message and take it to the ends of the earth. He says, you that were dead in trespasses and sin, has He quickened, that is, made alive together with Christ. In other words, when Jesus was on the Cross, we were united with Him in His death. He died as “us” on the Cross. He was “us” on the Cross. When He was crucified, we were crucified in Him. When He died, we died. Hallelujah!
When He was buried, we were buried with Him. When God raised Him back to life, we were raised back to life. We’ve been raised up together and made to sit together with Him in heavenly places. He has become the head of the body; together, we’re now Christ, because we died in Him, were buried in Him, and were raised back to life in Him. Now we’re one with Him!
The Bible says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17). We’re joint heirs with Him (Romans 8:17). We’re together as one. Hallelujah! Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”
He’s the one who fills everything (Ephesians 4:10), yet His fullness is the Church, which is His body. We’re His completeness, and we’re complete in Him: “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” (Colossians 2:9-10).Praise God!
CONFESSION
I’ve been baptized into the body of Christ, brought into union with divinity. When Christ was raised from the dead, I was raised up together with Him. Now that He’s seated on the throne, I’m seated together with Him in the place of dominion, glory and authority. Blessed be God!

Look Sharp, And Smart. Always Look Clean, Sharp, And Smart; This Shows You’re An Excellent Child. Let This Show In Everything About You Including How You Dress.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light 1 Peter 2:9
If you went to another school to represent your school, you’d want to be at your best and give a good impression of your school. In the same way, you’re a representative of God’s Kingdom; therefore, this should reflect in everything about you from the way you walk, talk and dress. Always look clean, sharp, and smart; this shows you’re an excellent child.
Remember, you’ve been called out from the rest of the world to teach them the way to live. Therefore, let this show in everything about you including how you dress.

I am an excellent representative of God’s Kingdom in my speech, actions, and the way I look. Hallelujah! Amen.

I affirm that God’s label is on me, for I am His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Therefore, as I go about doing good today; my life is filled with God’s goodness and grace. I am led in the path of truth, for the wisdom of God is at work in me. I abhor falsehood, and I am firmly established in God’s Word which makes righteousness manifest in my spirit. Hallelujah. The eyes of my understanding are enlightened with the revelations of God’s Word.
I am in sync with the Spirit, knowing and walking in God’s perfect will for me. Through God’s Spirit, I walk worthy of Him unto all pleasing, fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God’s Word. I am far removed from the arena of assumption, far removed from the corruptive influences of this world. I am seated together with Christ in the place of power; far above all principalities, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come.
I live in dominion over sin, sickness and infirmities, and every opposing force, accusation, or hindrance. Hallelujah. I am one with the Father. The Lord has sent His angels before me to minister for me daily! As I affirm the Word, they’re dispatched to establish the words of my mouth and ensure that the words that I speak do not come back to me void. I am never alone because the host of heaven are with me always! Glory to God. Amen.

I receive eternal life into my spirit and according to Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from
the dead, thou shalt be saved,” I declare that I am saved; I am born –
again; I am a child of God! I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He
that is in me than he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4). I now walk in the
consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! Amen!

Today I saw another brother! Another friend! Another man! Another husband! Another Son! Another Father sob quietly behind his office building for 20 minutes because he job was threatened! His only source of livelihood was shaken and he felt so helpless but to sob in agony.
This was not the first time I saw a man cry at his place of work, because his job was threatened and this might not be the last. Things that our fathers go through on a daily basis and most of us know nothing about them.
While I watched he cry, I kept asking myself, does this young man have a wife or a knife?
Does he have a companion at home, someone he would share his fears and insecurities when he gets back to the house tonight! Or does he have a knife that will strip him of his last dignity if he ever shows any sign of weakness.
Would he be loved at home or condemned too!
Well! I will never know! But my brother seems to be a fighter!
After sobbing for like 20 minutes, he washed his face, left and bought for himself a plate of beans and bread, plus two chilled sachet water, I would have asked him for one of the water if the circumstances were right.
After he finished eating, he washed his face for the second time, adjusted his tie, made sure his shirt was perfectly tucked in, with his shoulders high and his head raised up, he went back to his office as if nothing happened!
No matter what you are going through in Life, biko eat something my brethren

Welcome us to this Palm Sunday; as we remember Palm Sunday, the significance of that is to always remember the love of Christ, to meditate upon it and see how we can reciprocate it back to Him and also how we can also exemplify that sacrifice ourselves to our fellow men.
This morning we want to look at one of the factors that make us entitled to the blessings of the Calvary. We are looking at the message titled “Faith in the Time of Trouble”. Mark 4: 35 – 41. Ephesians 2: 8, unless you have faith in what Jesus went to do at Calvary, you cannot appropriate the blessings of His sacrifice; so yes, we are saved by grace, but that grace will not become yours unless you have faith.
Let’s look at the lives of these Disciples of Christ who were with Him and then trouble still came and see what lessons we can learn:
You can be with God and trouble will still come.
Your safest anchor as a believer (in time of trouble) is to ensure that Jesus is with you.
When trouble comes to a believer and you are in the center of God’s will or you’re obeying His instruction, you are going to survive.
When trouble comes for a believer, what determines whether we survive or not is who we run to.
When trouble comes, God uses it as an opportunity to further bring us closer to Himself.
Jesus is never too far away.
Thank You Jesus,

Preacher: Pastor Julius Olalekan (SATGO, Personnel)
Praise the Lord! You know today is your day, praise the Lord! You know the devil has lost battle over you, praise the Lord! You know your season of joy has arrived, praise the Lord!
[Music] [Prayer]
Psalms 100:1-5; “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations”. Hallelujah!
We are talking about the door of joy; now everything in life has its own door; there is a door to joy; there must be an entrance to somewhere. You want to enter into the season of joy, there is a door and when that door opens, you enter.
In Revelation 3: 7, Jesus Christ said I’m the one that has the key of David, when I open nobody can shut, when I shut no one can open. He said behold, I set before you an open door which no man can ever shut and that door will remain open in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus.
So there are doors but there is this door that is called the ‘door of joy’ and my desire and my prayer for you is that that door will open to you today. I was glad when I heard the choir singing that song and I could say that you are prepared for joy, and that is the glory of God in our lives. There is no substitute for joy, where joy is lacking everything dries up; the Bible says the fig tree, the pomegranate and everything dried up because joy is dried off from the life of men.
When you lose joy you lose everything; when you don’t have it you don’t have anything; what adds value to your life is joy; what makes you look beautiful is joy. If you go to the studio and the photographer wants to snap you, he’d tell you to smile; when you frown he won’t take it and he’d tell you to say ‘cheese’ and then you would fake the smile, you will do everything and he’d smile and say beautiful. Your beauty comes when you smile, but devil does not want you to smile in life, but he has lost the battle; from today, you will continue to smile in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This door of joy, what happens when God opens this door for you? Number one that happens when God opens the door for you is that from today, this very Sunday, sorrow shall disappear.
Isaiah 35: 10, the Bible says “And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, (what will happen?) and sorrow and sighing shall flee away”.In the name of Jesus, sorrow will flee away from here today.
There are things in our lives that give us sorrow; when we dress up and look elegant, but in different departments of our lives there are things that are looking like Pharaoh; go, it said I’m not going; but God is saying today, the Egyptians that followed you here you will never see them anymore in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It says you will return, sorrow will flee away; sighing will flee away in the mighty name of the Lord.
You look at the example of Hannah in the scriptures; the Bible says she was a woman of sorrow because they were provoking her every day. There was another woman that was just mocking her, just provoking her because she didn’t have a child, but what happened eventually? God fought for her. God will fight for you.
The Bible says in 1st Samuel 1: 10; one particular day she entered into the temple, she prayed at Shiloh and the word came and said your prayers have been answered; and the Bible says she left and her countenance was no more sad. From that day she never know sorrow again; from that particular day sorrow disappeared from her life, meaning what? If it has happened before, it can happen again.
It can happen to anybody, there are people who have gone through it and that is why I’m praying today, you will never know it, you will never ever know it.
Somebody was coming to where we were having a meeting, praying, (weekly prayer meeting), and when she was coming, she saw a woman sitting down at the center of the road weeping and crying and this woman went to her, ‘woman, you are close to the road, won’t you be afraid of accidents’? She said which accidents? Anyone that wants to kill me should kill me, when I didn’t die what am I living for? What is the problem? And then the woman explained to her that she got married without any child and then her husband and the family came to her just last night (and that was in October), they told her this year is the end, by January 1st, they must not meet her in the house, she should begin to pack her load and know where she is going.
They held the meeting, the husband was there and they left; after they had left, she turned to her husband and said didn’t you hear what your parents said? He said yes, they have spoken well. Ha, is that what you would say?
She lost anything called joy, she was no more herself, she just went out not knowing where she was going, and then she just sat down in the middle of the road, and the other one said I’m going to church, I’m going to pray and God that answers prayer, His name is Jesus, you can follow me and she followed her. They came to the meeting, did the prayers; came for the second one, did the prayers, and then these people came first of January and they told her what are you still doing in this house? We have asked you to pack, move now; and she asked them what the agreement was; you gave me ultimatum till January, have you asked for the results? They asked what the result is, and she went in and brought the result that showed that she was two months pregnant. I’m not telling story; the day she was sharing the testimony, she was shedding tears of joy.
Listen to me brethren; if there is any tear you will still shed, it will be tears of joy. A day is coming, you will stand here, you will sing a song, ‘I never knew you will answer me this way…’ and that day will come very very soon in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus.
For that fellow saying amen, I said from today, sorrow disappears from your house, disappears from your home, disappears from your career, and disappears from every area of your life.
You just mentioned FUTA and I remember the case in FUTA when we were there, there was a boy that gained an admission and got into FUTA and the father celebrated him in Lagos, (they were living in Lagos); they celebrated him, he called the whole house and everyone, they even killed a goat to say that he was going to the university.
On getting there, the first year he was on probation, and the second year, if he got the second one, he would be advised to withdraw; when he got that, he had concluded that he was on his way home early in the morning full of sorrow, he left for the fish pond to go and commit suicide, and then one of my friends was on his way to the field to go and pray early in the morning and saw someone going to the fish pond early in the morning when it was still dark; the Holy Spirit told him follow him and he followed him, and he got him and said brother, where are you going? He said what is your problem? He said there is there is a problem, where are you going? Holy Spirit said I should follow you and then he broke down in tears and told him they celebrated me to come here, what will it be for me to go back withdrawn from school, its better I die than to go and face such a shame, and the brother said don’t worry yourself, there is a solution.
He brought him to the fellowship in the evening, gave his life to Jesus, and started serving God; by the time the same boy graduated, they gave him an award during the convocation as the best improving student from probation to 2.1.
I’m praying for someone here, you will succeed, you will never know failure again in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The God that we serve is a God of joy, He gives joy; go to the scripture, there was nowhere He got to and there was sorrow, and He left there and He left sorrow there, nowhere, check the scriptures. He’s against sorrow, and when I’m talking about sorrow, we are even talking about the foundation of sorrow which happens to be sickness, affliction, failure, shame, trouble, because there is somewhere that this sorrow is coming from.
Somebody is of a marriageable age, she hasn’t gotten husband; you don’t have children, you don’t have job, the parents are saying when will you begin to take care of us, you are still writing letter and say please send me money. The Bible says some people will wake up in the morning and sleep late in the night (like people in Lagos), and at the end of the month they will eat the bread of sorrow, nothing to show for it, but God is telling someone here, you will never labor in vain.
Because you are in this service, every step you take from today will yield glorious results in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So when God opens the door of joy, sorrow will flee. Number two; the door of sorrow will be permanently shut, it will never open again in the mighty name of Jesus.
In 1st Chronicles 4: 9& 10, there was a man that is called Jabez; the Bible says this man was called sorrow by name, he was sorrow in person, personified, but the Bible says this man prayed and cried unto the Lord and the Lord changed his sorrow, and God is about to do something here today.
Look at verse 10; “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! (What happened?) And God granted him that which he requested”.The last thing he asked for was that Lord, take away this sorrow but then don’t let me ever know it again, shut the door permanently, don’t let me ever see evil – anything called evil; poverty is evil, shame is evil, sickness is evil, affliction is evil, they are not your portion. After today that you will pray here, you will never see them anymore; God Himself will say to you here in the mighty name of Jesus.
Look at Zephaniah 3: 15, the Bible says “The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more”. How? You will never see it anymore; you will never see evil anymore; you will never see failure anymore; you will never see reproach anymore; you will never see trouble anymore. If it’s waiting for you, before you get there, fire will clear it in the mighty name of God, because God is always by His own, He’s ever faithful and you will never know evil again.
Number three, what will happen? Happenings of joy will begin in your house, in your life, marriage will start, wedding upon wedding, children dedication, house dedication, promotions, elevation, celebration, testimonies, peace all around, all you need is for Him to open this door unto you, let Him open this door of joy and one after the other, things will begin to happen.
Like Hannah that I told you, as soon as the almighty God opened the door of joy, the Bible says she didn’t have a child, she had Samuel; God opened another door she had another one; opened another one, had another one; opened another one, had another one; and she had another five; from joy to joy to joy to joy. I’m praying for someone here today again, the door of joy that God will open to you will be permanent; things of joy will begin to happen and you will never know sorrow again, and God can do it in such a way that you will look around and say where is this sorrow that I’ve been carrying for years that looks as if it can never go.
There was a man in Lagos here when I was in Lagos, he came to a service and he had an encounter, but the story was a very bad one; he was a very big man, working, well known in Nigeria, and suddenly this problem came and they froze his account, took everything that he had – his house, his cars, everything he ever had was taken away from him. He could not feed his family again, a woman and four children; the man ran to Ghana thinking that things would be better, he got to Ghana, spent five years in Ghana and nothing worked; he came back home to locate the family, getting to where they rented there was nobody there and they said your wife is no more here, so he started searching and discovered that the wife had gone to Abuja to meet with her parents with the children.
So he decided to go to Abuja to go and see them, he went there, as soon as the father-in-law sighted him, he told him if you don’t want to die, don’t enter this house; and because he didn’t want to die, he didn’t enter, he ran back to Lagos, he was in depression, stayed in a friend’s house and then he came for a service like this and he had an encounter with God.
You see, this God answers prayers; when you go to church brethren, He answers prayers. My house shall be called the house of prayer; when I ask you to pray today please pray, this God is real, He’s alive, He’s on your side, you don’t have any reason to doubt Him.
He came for the first time, he prayed; the following week he received a call that they had been looking for him at Abuja that they have discovered that the case five years ago was false and that now, they have reversed everything – his house has been returned, his account has been released, his money has been released, everything they took from him was returned within one week, within seven days, that God is still alive.
He went to Abuja, got everything back and everything, you know what he did? He went into a car stand, bought a brand new car; went to boutique, bought good clothes, dressed well and got sunshades, good shoes and everything. I entered into the car, tear rubber, and went again into the same house of his father-in-law; he parked outside, it was a tinted glass and they all came out and said who is this, where is he coming from?
Everybody came out and said which visitor is visiting us; then he brought out the first leg, they were waiting for him to show his face; the first leg that he brought out, his shoe was shining, you could look at yourself and they were still waiting for who the person was; he brought out the other hand with the wristwatch, and then came out with the glasses, removed the glasses and the father-in-law said my son, my son, I know that one day God will do it, I know, I just know because you carry destiny.
They took him in and then he took his wife and went back again.
I’m praying for someone here, there will be a turnaround, total turn around in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus.
What do you do? Before we pray, because this door must open today and it will open now. The first thing is have faith in God, do what Hannah did. She had faith in God that was why she went to Shiloh, she believed God would answer her prayers. Be it unto you according to your faith.
Jesus Christ said if I come back will I find faith on earth? Not everybody that goes to church has faith; some people just feel that look, I must go there, but look brethren, have faith in God. Mark 11: 22, have faith in God for with Him nothing is impossible; demonstrate your faith, let your faith come alive, Hallelujah! God will honor that faith today in the mighty name of Jesus.
Number two, do what Hannah did, ignore your mockers, don’t concentrate on them, they are not your problems, when God changes your situation they will change. Some of us concentrate on them; he said this he said this; they abused me, they insulted me, they reproached me, they did this one and you are fighting them, they are not the problem, when God settles you, by force they will come and celebrate, praise the Lord!
Imagine the day Samuel was born and Hannah wore her cloth and her headgear was a very big one and then people gathered together for naming and she was going around, you know the way women do at parties, going around and thanking everybody for coming and Peninah was the one that was carrying plates and washing plates with her children. I’m praying for you today, on the day of your joy your enemies will be in shame in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. He has done it before, He will do it again. Ignore them.
Isaiah 45: 23, it says “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear”. The wordhas gone out, it will not return in the mighty name of Jesus.
Number three, use the key of prayers. There’s what they call ‘operation push’, pray until something happen; don’t stop praying, there is no option to your joy, your joy must be full.
In John 16: 24, it says Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.He gives fullness of joy, that is the interest of the Lord – pray until something happens, and it will happen today in the mighty name of Jesus.
Number four; be planted in the house of the Lord. Psalms 92: 13, “Those that be planted in the house of God…” not people that are planted online, praise God! I celebrate the people online but be planted in the house of God, there is no substitute to the house of God, it doesn’t happen; it’s in Christianity that we are beginning to migrate to online, mosque don’t go online, the unbelievers don’t go online.
We were coming one day on a Friday, even on the express road (in Bauchi), they were all along the road; they would block the road for you on Friday, they don’t go online. You go to churches, cathedrals will be empty because some people decide to go online; He said those that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish, not those who are planted online, you don’t belong to anybody. Online people are prostitutes, before they watch this one they have watched another one, they will watch this and watch that one and watch this one and then they will switch to this and say oh choir is the one singing, let me hear this one; and then they’ll go to this one. Prostitutes, they will be moving, different fathers, and daddy GO said that when you have many fathers you must be a bastard; ajumobi, they gather together to give birth; this one is your father, this one is your father, you go to all the ministries, everywhere, you just sit down and be going all around and then towards the end of the service you click to this service and say I have attended, you have not attended.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord… how do you think that this same God is a rewarder of them that diligently… Some people were here 6am, you lie down on the bed and think the same God will reward you the same way, it cannot happen and it can never happen. He’s a God that is just, be planted in the house of God.
He said ‘My house’, which means He has a house. There are things that don’t happen until you get to Zion; upon Mount Zion there shall be deliverance and holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Hannah had prayed for life until she entered into the temple and prayed, and the man of God made the prophecy, just one prophecy brought her out of sorrow and took her to an everlasting joy. Be planted in the house of the Lord, don’t be deceived by social media, that is not the house of the Lord, you know the house of the Lord, be there.
The Bible says when you are there you will flourish and the word of God is ever settled, may I pray for every one of you here, you will flourish and everyone online who have repented will flourish also; if you have not, then God will touch your hearts, praise the Lord!
And then the last thing is that keep sowing joy, meaning what, the best gift you can give to any man is joy and what is that gift? Jesus Christ. Anywhere you go talk about Jesus, because when you give anybody Jesus you are giving the fellow fullness of joy, because by the name of Jesus he will be able to assess joy himself.
Members of your families that have not known God, deliberately and intentionally preach to them, talk to them, you may not have money, you may not have to give them anything, give them joy, give them Jesus. Those people that you are sending money to every time and they are not born again, you are wasting your resources, give them Jesus, let them be saved, that’s the best gift you can give to them.
If you have built house for them, you have done this for them and they don’t have Jesus, you have lost them, there is no joy over them. The Bible says there is joy in heaven over one soul that repents and turns to the Lord; when you go out, when you go anywhere, give people joy, give them Jesus, take flyers, invite people, don’t come to church alone, make God happy, let the heaven rejoice because of what you have done.
Those people in your places of work, they are your colleagues, they need Jesus, bring them here; if you don’t know how to preach to them, you invite them, they will encounter the God that you serve here, He will settle them; be an evangelist for the Lord in your spheres of influence, don’t just talk about money and politics, talk about Jesus and you will see the heaven responding to you in a very serious manner.
Look at Hannah, she said give me a child and I will make him to be Your priest; she touched the heart of God; when you do the work of God, you touch the heart of God and He can do anything for you, praise the Lord! That will happen, anybody you talk to will receive the Lord; from today, you will be joy givers.
Before we pray, there is one door that even nobody can open, and it will surprise you that even Jesus Christ cannot open it, the only person that can open it is you and until that door is opened, Jesus cannot open any other door for you, it is very clear.
Let’s look at Revelation 3: 20, it says “Behold, I stand at the door (of your heart), and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”. I will come in and celebration starts; I will come in and jubilation starts; I will come in and happiness begins. He said but I can’t open, I can only knock, that is where it is amazing; salvation can never be by force, there must be a day you make up your mind and say Jesus come into my heart, be my Lord and be my Savior, that day that you open your door and He comes in, every other door of joy will begin to open unto you, the grace to do that may God give it to you this morning.
Shall we bow down our heads in prayers; before we go and pray for this God to open this door for us today, He’s knocking at the door of your heart now, you want to open that door, you want to see Jesus come into my heart so that every other door will begin to open, you want Him to come into your life you want Him to rule in your life, you want Him to be your Lord, you want Him to be your Savior, you want Him to be everything to you either here or online, you have made up your mind, put your left hand on your chest and lift up your right hand for Jesus still coming to your life, for Him to enter, I want to pray with you; just open that door, you are the only one that has the authority to open that door, not even God can force you to do it but until you do it, no other door can open by the authority of heaven.
[Altar call]
[Prayer]
[Music]
You are going to pray as if you have never prayed before, whatever is called the foundation of sorrow, the One who is called the Consuming Fire will visit it by fire in the mighty name of Jesus. It can be sickness, it can be barrenness, it can be shame, it can be lack, it can be failure, whatever, before you finish this prayer it shall flee away in the mighty name of the Lord.
Raise your voice violently, say Father, arise in Your power as the consuming fire, every foundation of sorrow in my life, in my family, my Father my Father, visit it with Your fire now.
[Prayer]
Visit every foundation of sorrow; be it sickness, be it affliction, be it disease, be it failure, be it trouble, be it retrogression, visit it with Your fire.
Visit the foundation, the foundation of sorrow; everything called sickness, everything called affliction, everything called barrenness, everything called loneliness, everything called delay, anything that is generating sorrow, Lord God of heaven, visit with Your power.
Brethren pray a little more, you have the power to set yourself free; life and death are in the power of tongue, visit the foundation, whatever does not allow your joy to be full, Father visit every foundation. Thank You Father, thank You Lord in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
I don’t know the fellow here but listen to me, I’m declaring now to you and hear it well, there’s a good news coming your way, be expectant, check out for it; there’s a good news coming that will cause you to jump for joy.
I don’t know the fellow here also, that stubborn source of shame has just been converted to source of glory and testimony. Thank you my Father; what a great God I serve, we celebrate You Lord.
You are going to pray this one prayer before I pray for you and please pray with all your strength; you can open the door with keys, you can force the door open, you can scatter but all it matters is that your door must open now; the door of joy must open now.
Pray violently and say Father in the mighty name of Jesus, I declare and I command every door leading to my joy, what are you waiting for, open now!
I command you to open!!! Open now in the name of Jesus, thank You precious Father, in Jesus name we have prayed.
Stretch forth your hand as if you are receiving something, can you ask for three things that’s very specifically, just mention them before I pray for you and you will return with testimonies. Go ahead and just ask, heaven is delivering them into your hands, today is a day you’ll collect your blessings.
What is it that must happen to your business for your joy to be full? What is it that must happen in your family for your joy to be full? What is it that must happen in your life for your joy to be full? What is it that must happen to your loved ones, for your children, for your joy to be full? This hour, pray the way Hannah prayed; her lips were moving but nobody understood what she was saying, she was pouring out her heart but God listened to her; pour them out, mention them in His ears, He that created ear, shall He not hear?
He said before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear; this is God who answers before He hears; thank You Father, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Father in the mighty name of Jesus, I stand with the authority of heaven, pray for all these Your children wherever you are and you are connected to this meeting; every one of you, the door of sorrow is permanently shut in the mighty name of Jesus.
I command the fire of God to visit every foundation of sorrow and burn them in the mighty name of Jesus. From now on, the door of joy is open to you; the door of joy is open to your family; the door of joy is open to your home. As you are saying that amen, shame disappears; as you are saying that amen, delay comes to an end; as you are saying that amen, failure is turned to success; as you are saying that amen, breakthrough comes your way; as you are saying that amen, very soon you will shed tears of joy; whatever you have requested from the Lord in this house today, receive in abundance in the mighty way receiving abundance in the mighty name of Jesus!!! It is done, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Today’s lesson brings to an end our study of the book of Philippians. You would recall that in chapter 1, we learnt that there is joy in living for Christ [Phil 1:12]. Then we talked about the right attitude in serving Christ in unity; without complaints, or unnecessary arguments [Phil 2:14]. In chapter 3, we went on to discuss the joy in knowing Christ. We were told that our focus should be the finishing line and that means reigning with Christ in eternity [Phil 3:13-14].
For today, we will concern ourselves with the joy in resting in Christ Jesus. To accomplish this, there is need to show contentment, always [Phil 4:11]; our circumstance notwithstanding. There are three [3] outlines as detailed below.
OUTLINE 1: FINDING REST BY RESOLVING CONFLICT [Phil 4:2-5]
• Euodias and Syntyche [both women] had a dispute/conflict. Apostle Paul urged both to
settle their disagreement because they are of the same mind with God. Phil 4:2, Phil 2:2.
• In Phil 4:3, Paul called for the intervention of the brethren in resolving the dispute. He
acknowledged that these women worked with him in spreading the good news. He
acknowledged that spreading the gospel opens the door for your name to be written in the
Book of Life. Rev 20:15.
• In Phil 4:4, Paul urged us to be full of joy no matter the circumstance. Recall that he wrote
this letter to the Philippians in captivity; yet he was full of joy knowing that the work of
God was progressing. The beauty of being filled with joy always is that, the possibility of
conflicts would be obliterated; since there will be no space in your soul for other vices
such as found in Gal 5:19-21. 1 Corinthians 6:20 .
• In Phil 4:5, he talks about moderation or gentleness. Doing things in a manner that will not
distract others from focusing on God. This is a pointer to Jesus Christ in the way He
humbled Himself [Phil 2:8]. We should live with the assurance that He will soon return to
take us home. Gal 5:22-23.
OUTLINE 2: FINDING REST THROUGH PREVAILING PRAYER [Phil 4:6-7]
• In verse 6, the Bible says we should be anxious for nothing. It is a command and not an
option. Matthew 6:26-28 serves as a guide. Rather in EVERYTHING, we should through
[prevailing] prayers present to God. Do not take anything for granted. Our attitude
should be to pray about everything and be thankful for anything. Remember, Jesus Christ
always gave thanks. John 11:41, Luke 22:19.
• For verse 7, three [3] things stand out: the peace of God, surpasses all understanding
and keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Peace is indeed a gift from God. Surpasses all understanding brings to the fore our
limitations in comprehending the ways of God [Isaiah 55:8] and keeping our hearts
speaks to strengthening our faith in Jesus Christ [Hebrews 11:6].
OUTLINE 3: FINDING REST BY RENEWING YOUR MIND [Phil 4:8-9]
• Verse 8 tells us the right place to put our minds. Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 lends
credence to where our minds should dwell. No doubt, these virtues in Phil 4:8 are
embedded in the fruit of the spirit in Gal 5:22-23.
• Phil 4:9. What is the essence of teaching or learning or receiving or seeing if we are not
able to put same into practice? Let us be followers of Christ just as Apostle Paul followed
Him. 1 Corinthians 4:17, Psalm 25:4
CONCLUSION
If we follow and work according to the teachings in the book of Philippians, the result
will be as captured in Phil 4:13. Therefore, what do we need to excel in this work? We
have the assurance that God will supply all you need according to His riches in glory by
Christ Jesus [Phil 4:19].
Thank You Jesus,
Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

The theme for this year’s evangelism weekend is Repositioned for Evangelism and our text is taken from Acts 8: 5 – 8. Our main responsibility as a child of God is to go and win souls. 2nd Corinthians 5: 19.
Some of the reasons why we must win souls:
God loves the world, John 3: 16
Wickedness is on the increase, Isaiah 60: 2
There is no repentance in hell, there is no repentance after the last breath,
Time is short, John 15: 16.
Swimming against the tide, our Bible text is Genesis 41: 14 – 34. We all know what swimming is; tide is a current in the sea that is caused by the regular and continuous movement of the sea waves. It goes up and down, then you say you have a tide in the sea. To swim against the tide therefore could be another way of saying to not follow everyone else.
So bringing it to our message, to swim against the tide comes in two ways: it may mean what every other person is doing, you don’t want to do because it is not necessarily the right way everybody else is going; secondly, it could be that there are difficult times, but to survive, you need to come against the tide so that the difficult times does not wash you away and that’s more like what we are going to talk about this morning.
Some few lessons to take from it:
The economies of the world are cyclical, Genesis 26: 1.
No famine, no economic disaster will last forever, 2nd Kings 7.
People respond to famine, to difficult times, to economic challenges differently, let’s keep getting at doing something, Genesis 26.
The impact of famine on people differ, Genesis 26.
It does not matter how bad any economy is, God has a solution.
What are the things that we are supposed to do?
Make effort to improve your lot or make effort to survive this situation.
Make the best use of the time that we have.
Try to expand your sources of income.
We must maintain good discipline.
Avoid taking nick-check decisions.
Don’t be wasteful, Genesis 41: 53 – 54.
Delay gratification.
Avoid borrowing where it is not necessary.
Protect what you have.
Keep your ears to the ground.
Seek professional advice.
Stay out of trouble.
Obey the rules of the land.
Help those who are in need.
Trust God for divine direction.
Thank You Jesus,

Welcome to church this morning! I want to appreciate our father in the Lord, the Pastor in charge of province, for this opportunity; I want to thank members of the Board of Pastors and Pastorate for giving me the opportunity to bring the message this morning.
In the RCCG, we have a set of beliefs, the same way I believe they have in other missions, so periodically, the church sends elders to come and remind us (old members) or teach us (new members) about the belief of the church, our doctrines. So today in this church is meant for doctrinal teaching, we are going to be having one of our elders to come and teach us in the afternoon (second service), but during the first service, I was advised to speak on something along that area too, something to do with doctrine.
So this morning, I will be speaking on what I consider to be our major belief that there is a God who made everything, our Creator. Because I don’t want it to look like a classroom setting – oh, we believe in God, we believe in His trinity, I’m going to try to make it a bit more interesting, so I’ll be talking about the “Goodness of God” , and that’s a very wide topic that cannot be treated in 30 – 40 minutes that we have here.
I will be talking about the goodness of God in the life of a popular Bible character, David and that’s also a wide topic, so I’ll try and restrict it to part of God’s goodness in the life of David, and it’s not going to be about David, it’s going to be about God, I’m just using David as a case study, so let’s bear in mind that it is about the goodness of God, not about David.
And what I want us to get from this message is the goodness of God in your life, in my life, David is just a case study, so at the end of the message, the idea is for you to be able to realize or come to a better knowledge of God’s goodness in your life, in my life.
Our God is a good God, a good Creator, the Savior, the Redeemer, our Father. The Bible says when we were yet sinners He died for us, Romans 5: 8; even when we were yet to be saved from our sins, He died for us.
That song says ‘I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy (His) power throughout the world displayed; then sings my soul, the Savior Lord to thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art’, you know the song very well.
We had in December 2023 as our theme ‘Divine Goodness of God’; like I said before, if we are to discuss the goodness of God in the Bible, we’ll begin from Genesis 1 and we will not stop until we get to Revelation 22. Genesis 1 where He chose to form man in His own image and gave him authority over all things; He saw that man needed a companion like himself and He gave man a partner, Genesis 2:18. He made man fruitful and gave him command to multiply and replenish the earth, Genesis 1: 28.
So like I said, we’ll continue to talk about the goodness of God until we get to Revelation and see the cosmic battle that the good God is fighting for us behind the scenes in every facet of life.
There’s a story in Revelation 12 that talks about what we see on earth with the corresponding equivalent in heaven; those of us who know that story very well, Revelation 12 is the story of Cosmos as it actually happened in heaven – the dragon fighting with the woman over this child, trying to kill Jesus, so it’s always God at work doing something or the other for us.
Like I said, we are going to put ourselves into part of David’s life, so we’ll go to the story about David and our Bible text is from Psalm 65: 9-13, a Psalm of David, so I’ll just go through quickly, it’s talking about David talking about God; “Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing”, praise the Lord.
Before I continue, let me just wish our mothers Happy Mother’s Day today, forgive me for not saying that earlier. Congratulations to the mothers in the house; congratulations to those who are born of mothers, I guess I’ve covered everybody there, praise God! God will bless you richly for us and continue to use you to guide and guard and direct us in the way of God in Jesus name, praise the Lord! Many happy returns in Jesus name.
We were introduced to David in 1st Samuel 16 when God sent Prophet Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoint one of his sons as a replacement for the reigning King Saul; we know the story of David very well. Jesse was blessed by God with formidable team of young men who can be king; they were kingly in appearance and they were renowned warriors, 1st Samuel 16: 6 – 10 tells us about them.
Let us quickly know about the children of Jesse, “And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord‘s anointed is before him.7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these”; so they were all kingly in appearance, their father was proud of them, he brought them before Samuel but God did not choose any of them.
Like all proud fathers, Jesse presented seven sons, all well qualified to the prophet but God did not choose any of them. But there was an eighth boy not apparently reckoned with who was not available to be presented, the prophet had to remind Jesse if anyone had been left out, it was only after the prompting of the prophet that Jesse remembered there was a young child who was keeping the flock in the wilderness.
We know the story very well; David was brought in from the jungle and lo and behold, he was God’s anointed. This was the beginning of God’s goodness in the life of young David; picked from among eight brothers who ordinarily looked more qualified, this reminds me of the story of people – maybe some of you are like that or somebody like me, who were born by grace.
I always tell myself I’m not a Samuel, I’m not a Joseph, I’m not a John the Baptist, I was not a child that was looked for, I’m a sixth of six children, praise God! Two brothers already, three sisters already, so nobody was actually looking for another child, just born by grace, maybe you are like me too.
They looked for Samuel, they looked for John the Baptist, but sixth out of six – that’s my mother’s side, don’t let me tell you about my father’s side, I don’t have any position there, praise God.
So some of us are like that, maybe David was also like that, he forgot him maybe because he had many children, the others were there so he can’t even remember, praise God! They already had boys, they already had girls and someone just came along, he said okay, thank God for him, we can have him as well, so some of us were born by grace unlike those that their parents prayed for fervently, and God bless all those who were born by grace among us in Jesus name.
Like Samuel and Joseph, the grace of God continued in the life of David; while at work in the wilderness looking after the sheep and goats for his father, the devil knowing his potentials sent bears and lions to attack David but Bible tells us David tore the animals to pieces.
Imagine a teenager dealing with a huge bear or ferocious lion; David gave his testimony in 1st Samuel 17: 33 – 37, he actually said he pursued the bear, he pursued the lion, they had taken what they wanted to take, he followed after them – a teenager. For those of us who watch Discovery Chanel, you cannot take a prey from a lion, just let him go with what he has taken and then run for your life, but David pursued it, (he said he) tore it into pieces, that was God’s grace in the life of David, God’s goodness in the life of David and He has that plan for you as well, praise God.
This was no Samson, Samson was heavily built, he was not heavily built physically; we always see the Bible pictures of David, small, normal 16-17 year old tearing lion to pieces, tearing bear to pieces, that is God’s work in the life of David, praise the Lord.
Then Goliath came along; the devil was not satisfied that David tore lion and bear to pieces, he now sent Goliath, a giant, a wall of attrition, a mountain to still stop David from the plan of God from his life. Goliath came along, he was proud, he was arrogant, he was spiteful, he was disdainful, he was a hindrance and mountain of calamity to King Saul and the entire army of Israel which incidentally included some of David’s older brothers, we also know this story very well.
David, by the goodness of God brought this mountain down; we have the assurance of God that (we shall) by the goodness of God we shall overcome our mountains as well in Jesus name. You will overcome your mountain, I will overcome my mountain; you will overcome your Goliath by the goodness of God in Jesus name.
God has many ways to overcome mountains for us, we should not put God in a box. You know we have this idea of saying this is the way God works for Mr. Femi and that’s the way He’s going to work for me, it doesn’t work that way, we should stop putting God in a box.
He defeated Goliath for David in a way; for you, He may take you over the mountain, He may bore a hole through the mountain for you, He may take you round the mountain, that is God for you, He is Sovereign, you cannot put Him in a box, He’s the Adonai God; He can flatten the mountain for you; He can drown the mountain in the sea for you, just allow Him to be God, He’s a good God, praise the Lord!
He can cause us to fly as an eagle over the mountain and soar above it, God has many ways of dealing with mountains in our lives but just allow Him to be God in His own way.
Then another challenge, David became a renowned warrior in the land and was leading the army of Israel on war campaigns against bigger, stronger and more formidable nations – the Amalekites, the Ammonites, all the ‘vites’ of the Bible and David defeated them all through the goodness of this God. Remember it’s not about David, it’s about God and I pray for you today that God will give you victory over more formidable opponents and competitors in business in the name of Jesus Christ. No matter how big they are, the goodness of God will make you outperform them in Jesus name.
Then it was around this period that King Saul turned against David, he became extremely jealous of David’s achievements; the devil pushed him (Saul) to seek David’s elimination, you know it’s always been the devil that sent bear, sent the lion, he sent Goliath, he now sent King Saul. The devil will not relent, he’s an unrelenting fool, so the fact that you just defeated him doesn’t mean he will not fight again, we need to keep standing, he will keep sending additional foes, I’m sure we have that experience of the devil already but we’re not majoring on him today, we’re majoring on God and we shouldn’t major on the devil anyway because they defeated him already, praise the Lord!
King Saul turned against David; he pursued David through the nooks and crannies of Israel to take his life but the goodness of God saved David from King Saul. There was a particular time that he nearly caught David but God intervened at the nick of time, 1st Samuel 23: 25 – 28, it’s very instructive, “Saul also and his men went to seek him (that’s David). And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
27 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth”.
God will send a message to that person pursuing you; God will distract them; Saul was distracted, he heard news from home that there was problem at home; God will send philistines after those pursuing you, they will distract them and then you can pursue your God-given goal in Jesus name. In peace and quiet, God will send that person that will completely and totally distract them.
So Saul had a negative report from home that made him abandon the pursuit of David and I pray for you this morning that God will make that unrestrained pursuer of your destiny to be distracted. God will cause trouble to multiply for them such that they will not have time or ability to pursue you any longer; they will not have time to pursue your destiny any longer.
God gave victory to David over King Saul as we see in 1st Samuel 24: 12 – 15; when he actually had a chance to kill Saul, the goodness of God in his life prevented him from doing so. I pray for you today that by the goodness of God, you would not have to avenge yourself of your enemies. God will take over your battle and avenge for you.
If you know the story very well, Saul almost met his death immediately after David just left him, it was like God saying leave him for Me, I’ll deal with him, don’t use your hand to kill him, he’s God’s anointed. You will have sweatless and effortless victory in Jesus name. Your victory will be sweatless and effortless in the mighty name of Jesus.
Now David became king despite all the travails; the whole idea was not to let him fulfill destiny but God gave him king and then internal enemies took over; he had defeated the external enemies – the bears, the lions, the Goliath, the King Saul, now internal enemies came.
To be sure all the things we are saying about David, he was a very ineffective father, we know his story about adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of one of his top soldiers. David had problem with lust which is an internal enemy, we all have to contend with internal enemies – some of us it may be anger, some of us, it’s pride, some of us it’s lust of this, lust of that, some of us it’s love of money, these are internal enemies, David had his own internal enemies too, he had become king already but the internal enemy would not leave him alone.
Maybe like David, you had made a mess of your life through internal enemies, God is saying to you today that there’s room for forgiveness. God forgave David, he committed adultery, not only committed adultery, he now committed murder to cover adultery and to who but one of his trusted generals, praise God!
But God forgave him; don’t forget we are talking about the goodness of God , this same God, so good, so merciful forgave David, Psalm 51: 10 – 12, David cried for help when he was confronted by prophet Nathan about what he did wrong, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit”, praise God.
David prayed and God answered him. And like David, maybe you are here too, you thought you have made a mess of your life, thank God for that song from the choir – there’s nothing that God cannot do, nothing that God cannot do does not exist, praise God! God can still turn your life of mess into a message and that’s what God will do for you in Jesus name, but what you need is to come clean like David and the loving goodness of God will save you in Jesus name.
So like we said, David’s first internal enemy was his flesh, and I pray for you today and as I pray for myself that the unregenerated flesh will not get you into trouble. It is the flesh that is not born again, our spirit is born again but your flesh is not born again, that’s why you crave for things and it’s up to you and with the grace of God to suppress the flesh. It wants to eat when you should not eat; it wants to sleep when you should not sleep; it wants to play when you should not play; it wants to be looking at what you shouldn’t be looking at, praise God!
David looked, he did not take his eye away because he was king. In those days, even now, kings are – that’s why the Yorubas call them ‘ka bi o o si’, the one you cannot question, go and get the woman for me and the poor people just went to get the woman for him and the woman too could not question, king is calling you, she had to go and answer, praise God! May God help us against our internal enemies, the flesh.
Some of us use our power, you may not be a king but you are powerful in your place of work, you are powerful at home, you have authority over some people and you lord it over them unnecessarily – internal enemy, watch out for that internal enemy, praise the Lord!
So that was one, God forgave David but there was still more problem for him; Absalom, one of his children, supported by one of his trusted aides, Ahitophel, rebelled against David; they chased David out of the palace, they chased him out of Jerusalem, praise God! But this good God brought David back; this God that we are talking about restored David to the throne, by the special grace of God, Absalom was defeated and David returned to Jerusalem and to the palace. You will be restored from that position where men have dislodged you in Jesus name. You will repossess your lost possession.
Some of us have lost something that we do not even realize we’ve lost; God will give you that thing that you are not even aware that you have lost in Jesus name. You will be restored, you will regain possession I the mighty name of Jesus.
David’s internal trouble did not end there, another son, Adonijah, staged the coup when he saw an opportunity, 1st Kings 1, and he had the support of the strongest general in David’s army, Joab. Joab incidentally was David’s nephew, son of one of David’s sisters; Joab joined hands with one of David’s children to stage a coup against David, they wanted to make Adonijah king while David was still alive, how can two kings be on the same throne? Praise God!
Internal enemies – his own child supported by his own nephew to chase him out of the palace but the goodness of God helped David, praise God. The mercies of God helped David to overcome this last challenge and he succeeded in anointing Solomon as king in his stead, that was God’s plan for David, praise God. He was able to eventually make Solomon king in his stead; the goodness of God helped David to hand over to a successor chosen by God; David was able to finish strong and well despite all the vicissitudes of life he faced, he died peacefully and contentedly, the goodness of God kept him, 1st Kings 2: 10 – 12.
“So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly”, praise God. So David was able to finish well; he was able to like Apostle Paul say I’ve run a good race, 2nd Timothy 4: 7 – 8, I have done well, praise the Lord.
But today, like I said earlier, we are talking about the goodness of God in the life of David. I didn’t mention the topic in the first place, it’s the Goodness of God or the Goodness of God in the Life of David, praise God.
We just come into a new year, 2024, and it’s already 70 days of that year, the promise of God for you (and I) is that this year will be better than the previous one in Jesus name. God is rekindling our hope and He has a plan for a turnaround for us as individuals, as families, as church and as a nation.
Here in CTL, we have as our theme for the year, God of Divine Turnaround, praise God! There shall be a turnaround for you; there shall be a turnaround for me; there shall be a turnaround for our nation, for your business, for your family this year 2024 in Jesus name.
As I begin to close, let’s look at Deuteronomy 11: 10 – 12, it talks about God’s plan for our year, “For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: 12 A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year”.
God is talking about our 2024; for the Hebrews that He was talking to in Deuteronomy, they were looking at the Promised Land; for us, we are talking about the year ahead, the ten months that is still left for this year, God is saying that I will water the land for you, My eyes will be on it from now till the end of the year; that I will make it a land of fruitfulness for you; that is the promise of God for us, that’s why we are talking about the goodness of this God, the wonderful God, the One that we believe in as a mission, the One that we believe in as a church, the God that’s the Maker of heaven and earth, the only God.
He says from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. So what this passage is saying is that we will have God’s care and goodness in this year; for you and I, the goodness of God and favor of God is guaranteed in the New Year.
So like I said earlier, we are talking about the goodness of God in the life of David and let’s look at ourselves, let’s situate ourselves in the place of David, how has God been good to you from the beginning of your life till now? Maybe your journey is about 40 years, maybe yours is 45, maybe somebody’s journey is 70 years, how has God helped you? Over the seas, over the waters, over the rail, over everywhere, you’ve travelled, you come back, this good God has been there supporting; some of us have had surgeries, dangerous surgeries that others have not recovered from, praise God!
We have domestic accidents at home, we have accidents on the road and God saves us all the time. I had a ‘small’ domestic accident (well, I call it small now) at home after church last Sunday; I was trying to put the fan on and I stumbled and I hit my rib against the reclining chair, it could have been my head on the floor, praise God! It was very painful, for about 10 minutes I was stunned, I just sat on the floor and I was feeling immense pain; I thought I had cracked one of the ribs, it was a major fall, just last Sunday, praise God!
So these are things we go through with the goodness of God; it was painful, the pain went down a bit after about ten minutes and I went out with my wife for a function, I got there and I couldn’t eat because breathing was a bit difficult and I couldn’t swallow but I can do that right now. It made me remember the goodness of God; at a point, breathing was difficult, you know normally you breathe in you breathe out, you don’t realize you are breathing, but because my rib was aching I was feeling it; each time I tried to breathe in and out, I was feeling the ache, it was like I had a broken rib, just a small domestic accident inside the house, I wasn’t inside the car, I just fell, I just lost my balance, I fell backwards and I just managed to escape the glass table, I could have fallen on the glass with bigger injuries.
These are things we take for granted every day, God is always good, this merciful God, this Creator, this Redeemer, this Sustainer, this Provider, He’s always watching out for us, praise God! Because what if I had fallen on the glass table with cuts maybe in the artery, the only person at home was my wife with me, no driver, nobody to rush anybody to the hospital and God kept me. I’m saying this as a testimony, I’m sure you have testimonies too of God’s goodness in this 70 days of 2024, I’m not talking about previous years, I’m talking about this 2024, how God has saved you, especially those that we did not even realize that we are involved in, our God is a good God, merciful, always abounding in mercy; if He can do that for David, He can do that for you as well as we bow our heads to pray this morning.
Reflect on God’s goodness and choose to be on His side; Psalm 124 says if it had not been the Lord on our side, where will we be? Reflect on God’s goodness, how He has helped you, how He’s helping you, how He will help you, and if you don’t know this God that we are talking about, you don’t know Him sufficiently well enough but you’ve heard about His goodness in the life of David, as we pray this morning, but for some of us our prayer will be thank God for Your goodness in my life as you begin to mention those goodness; for others, the prayer is that God, I want to know Your goodness, I want to start enjoying Your goodness, maybe because you haven’t started enjoying His goodness and it’s because you are not known by Him, can you just wave your hand this morning and let’s pray quickly so that you can begin to enjoy the goodness of this God.
He’s a good God, He’s also a consuming fire, praise God! We have examples also of those in the Bible, I could choose to use today to explain His other side as well because we are talking about God; I can choose to talk maybe next week if I’m asked to do this again on the consuming power of God and I will give you example as well, praise God. So don’t be on His other side…

LET US PRAY
2 Kings 2:19 & 22
And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
This year, I will open my mouth and tell God exactly how things are with me. I have discovered from experience that many people have become so good at pretending that all is well when all is not, even before God, the One who knows everything.
Ensure that you do not pretend or form before God. Tell Him exactly where the shoe hurts. Ask for His help more than ever before and He will surely answer you (Matthew 21:22).
ACT NOW:
Stop suffering in silence, tell God all your needs this year.
Have A Wonderful Day
Thank You Jesus,

INTRODUCTION: We rounded up the study of the book of Galatians last Tuesday. Today, we are starting a new series with the theme: DIVINE GUIDANCE, and it will run till the end of the month.
It is still early in the year; and the sure way to start is to seek divine guidance. Psalm 25:12 says: What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall He teach in the way that he shall choose. Therefore, divine guidance helps us to fulfil destiny. In this year 2024, we shall all fulfil destiny in Jesus name,
Amen!
OUTLINE A: AVENUES FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE
There are several ways through which God can guide those that put their trust in Him.
1. Through the Word of God.
The Lord spoke clearly to Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Samuel, etc. Aside the word of mouth; the Bible represents the Word of God. Numbers 12:4-5, 1 Sam 3:21, Matthew 3:17 & Hebrews 4:12.
2. Through the witness of the Spirit.
The Spirit witnessed through prophet Agabus about Paul’s arrest in Jerusalem. The witness can also be through God’s peace of mind that passes all understanding. Acts 21:10-11, 30-31, Phil 4:6-7 &
Romans 8:14.
3. Through the voice of the Spirit.
The hearing is usually inward and inaudible to others. It can also be in the form of a ‘still small voice’, outward in case of Samuel or it can come in the midst of godly thought. Isaiah 30:21, 1 Kgs 19:12, 1 Sam 3:3-5, Acts 9:3-5 & Acts 10:19.
4. Through Revelations.
These include dreams, visions, trances. Let’s be mindful that dreams can come via your thoughts or even from the devil. Joel 2:28, Eccl 5:3, Jeremiah 23:32, Job 33:14-17, Dan 2:19 & Acts 10:10-11.
5. Through ordained situations/circumstances.
God can use a scenario/situation to minister/reveal things to you. Jeremiah 18:1 6. Daddy GO’s testimony.
6. Through prophetic utterances and confirmations.
We should NOT live at the mercy of prophecy. Hosea 12:10, Jeremiah 7:25 & 1 John 4:1.
7. Through diverse means as deemed fit by God.
Typical is the case of Jonah and to the apostles. Jonah 1:7 & Acts 1:23-26.
OUTLINE B: RECOGNISING DIVINE GUIDANCE
This is very important because you want to be sure that it is from God. The Holy Spirit plays the dual role of a guide and counsellor.
1. Get familiar with the Word of God. His Word is the truth and ultimate source of wisdom on how we should live. Follow the instructions, therefrom. 2 Timothy 3:16.
2. Test your inclinations against the Word. The Holy Spirit will never push us to do anything contrary to God’s Word. If such conflicts with the Word; ignore it. 1 Corinthians 14:33.
3. Pray without ceasing. This keeps us in constant touch with the Spirit of Truth and enables us to follow His leading. 1 Thess 5:17 & Romans 8:26-27.
CONCLUSION
We have identified some of the avenues divine guidance can manifest in our lives. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Comfort. Let us allow Him to guide us for the rest of our lives and we shall never be lost in the wilderness of life.

Hallelujah! Day after day, the Lord will hold us with His hands and lead us to do all that we need to do in the name of Jesus; we will live in the righteousness of God; we’ll experience heaven here on earth and all things shall be possible for us in the mighty name of Jesus.
Thank you choir, the choir has preached the message for today, I think if at this point we just share the grace and go home, we will not have been shortchanged; glory be to God, thank You Jesus.
I’m imagining a Sunday that we’ll come here and it will be all praise, I’m just imagining that Sunday. Praise God!
Our God almighty, the God with whom nothing is impossible; honor and adoration oh Lord we give to You; we thank You Lord because we know You are already here with us; we thank You for all that You are about to do, that You have done already and You will continue to do in us and through us; Father Lord we thank You for Your word that You are about to send to us, Lord please give us understanding; give us revelation in the words and let there be performance of the word in the name of Jesus.
Every impossibilities, Father Lord bring an end to them in the mighty name of Jesus. Glorify Your name in us and through us now and forevermore in Jesus wonderful name we prayed.
Praise the Lord! Praise our living Jesus! Please let’s sit down majestically before our Father in heaven. The same message we heard in the morning, I’ll try to preach this session but indeed all things are possible. How many things are possible? All things are possible.
I would like to give thanks to God for the gift of life because only the living can stand and preach, only the living can expect things, can expect possibilities, praise God! And I appreciate the pastor in charge of province, our father in the Lord for this privilege also for me to stand here.
I welcome you all to church this morning and ask that whatsoever has brought you here this day, the Lord Almighty will hear the yearnings of your hearts in the mighty name of Jesus, because the Bible tells us that they came unto him, they looked up to him, their faces were radiant and they were not put to shame, Psalms 34: 5; and also in Proverbs 23: 18, it says surely there is an end; there is an end to impossibilities; there is an end to failure; there is an end to stagnation and the expectation of the righteous will not be cut off in the mighty name of Jesus.
Last week Monday we had a break from prayer chain because of the Easter, but we are back now, by the grace of God we’ll have prayer chain tomorrow and the theme of the prayer chain for tomorrow is “Go forward”, Exodus 14: 10- 15.
Our theme for this month of April is Divine Possibilities, Luke 1:37. But before we go into today’s message, I’d like to appreciate on behalf of our PICP every one of us who came yesterday whether physically or joined online to attend the Economic Summit that we had yesterday, or who supported in one way or the other; prayers, telling people about it, sharing the tracts, taking the tracts, in whatever way or putting money, giving water, he said I should say thank you to all of you, it was a marvelous program, it was a great success, praise the Lord!
Luke 1: 37, “For with God nothing shall be impossible”. So from this text and our theme for this month, I take my topic for today, “Unlimited Possibilities”, praise the Lord!
So we go into it quickly and I make some definitions; when we talk about possibility, to relate with the term possibility, I tried to use some synonyms for it – chance, likelihood, the odds or probability that something may happen or will be true. For example, what is the possibility that Nigeria will be great again? What is the possibility that it will rain in the course of this week? What is the possibility that you’ll be here next week Sunday? You know, likelihood, what is the chance? What are the odds?
Okay, but another way to look at possibility is when you don’t look at it in terms of likelihood but in terms of variety of options available. For example, the example I gave in the morning; I stand there and I say I want to go to the gate of Lekki, what are the options available to me from here to get to the gate? Should I walk? Take a bike? A bus? Take my car? Or fly? Options, praise God!
So in the context of this passage, ‘for with God all things are possible’, I believe that the Bible is not talking to us on possibility in terms of likelihood, and I will explain that soon, the Bible is talking to us on possibilities in terms of options available. Likelihood is for us men; when you just want to stay safe, you don’t want to say yes or no and then you stand on the fence, somewhere in between.
For God, there is only certainty; so for the mathematicians here, if we say what is the possibility that there will be day tomorrow? What’s the likelihood that there will be day tomorrow? The statisticians or mathematicians will say one out of two, because in any day you can have a day or a night, so the likelihood of a day is one out of two, that’s .5, so usually when humans are talking, it’s somewhere between zero and one likelihood, but when God is talking, it’s either zero or one.
So let’s see God’s perspective to that same question, Genesis 8: 22, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest time, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease”. So it’s saying if tomorrow comes, what is the likelihood that there will be day? One, it’s certain, you shall not cease; so with God is either one or zero, when will it be zero? If there is no tomorrow then there is no day.
With that background, now we’ll look at unlimited; when you say something is unlimited, it means that there is no boundary; it means there are no restrictions whether in number, in quantity, in depth, in volume, no restriction whatsoever, just as much as you can have it.
So unlimited possibilities refer to a situation where for every issue of life that we face, with God, there are so many options and there’s no limitation to how far He can go to take care of those issues. That’s what we are going to talk about today literally, but we are going to be telling stories from the Bible, I’m going to be relating it to the issues of life, so I want to implore us, please follow through, one or two will relate to you, hold on to it and run with it, don’t say I’m familiar with this story, there’s something in each of those stories for you to learn, praise the Lord! Praise the living Jesus!
Isaiah 55: 8 & 9, the Bible says “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, (God is saying now); neither are your ways My ways; as the heaven is higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways”. God is saying when you look at this and they say move this, in my head, to move this I only want to lift it but for God, He can just blow His nostrils and it moves, so He’s not seeing things the way we see it, He won’t do things the way we’ll do it but He will get it done.
So let’s look at some of the scenarios and the things that will possibly happen when unlimited possibilities come to play in our lives; the first example, the first story we’ll tell, you’ll have victory without limits. Exodus 12: 31-36, the Bible tells us that they came, after about 400 years, the children of Israel now had the opportunity to leave Egypt eventually for the Promised Land; they were excited, they were happy, they were not just leaving, they were leaving with a lot of resources, so that created a lot of excitement, they were happy to leave, but when they got to a certain point along the journey in Exodus 14, the Red Sea said to them where are you all going? Where are you coming from? Where are you going? Stay there, no more movements.
So there was a limitation in the movement, they couldn’t go forward, they looked back and saw the host of Egypt coming, they could also not go backward. Exodus 14: 10- 13, what did they do? They began to reign abuses and queries and curses upon their leader, Moses; (from 10) why have you brought us here? You would have left us in Egypt let us be servants and slaves in Egypt rather than die in this wilderness; we would have stayed back in Egypt to continue to eat cucumber, Moses you are the one that caused this, take all the gold we don’t want it, we want life.
Why did they say that? They have looked at the situation, they could not go through the Red Sea because of the limitation; they could also not go back, Pharaoh is coming and he will kill them; so they thought it was all over. To man, it will seem as if it’s over, but God had a different plan; verse 13, God said to Moses, why do you stand there looking at me? You have a rod, stretch it over the water and it parted; the first time that would happen and they walked over and they got to the end, they never imagined that there would be way through the sea, praise the living Jesus!
And the Egyptians followed them but God used that same sea that made the way for the children of Israel to drown the Egyptians and gave them victory, permanent victory over their archenemies. There is someone here today, in the battle of life you’ve come to a point where you think there is no way forward, and you do not know how to proceed and you have surrendered and said it’s all over, the God of unlimited possibilities will open way for you in the name of Jesus, and He will give you unusual victory over all those issues in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Story number two, provision without limit; there can be provision without limits. 1st Kings 17: 8- 16, this is the story of the widow of Zarephath; in the morning I said those who attended digging deep, this will still be very fresh because that was what we talked about last Tuesday; you see the benefit of coming to digging deep, but I’ll try to just paraphrase but digging deep was really deep, so please I invite you to digging deep on Tuesday and don’t miss it again.
There was famine in the land; no water, no food, nothing else, people didn’t have enough energy to even move about, and everything was almost lifeless; so there was this widow in a city called Zarephath, this had taken away their resources to the level where they had only one left for her and her son to eat and after eating it, she said they would wait for death. I wonder and said why would somebody conclude that they would wait for it? People don’t want to talk about their death, but she would have seen people, neighbors, people around, or she would have heard what happened to others after they finished their food because nobody was going to share with another because of famine, that they eventually passed out; so they were going to wait for their own, that is because that’s all she could see – the limitation of man, but unknown to her, God said to Elijah, (he was at the brook waiting there), arise, go to Zarephath, you will see a widow there, do this and do this, dwell in that place and Elijah went.
He got there, he said Madam, I’ve been coming from a journey please I need water; the woman said in this famine, water? Okay, I can share a bit; as she was going to fetch the water, he said please make food for me. She said, are you a stranger in this land? You mean you don’t know what’s happening or you didn’t hear from where you are coming from that there’s no food? I can’t give because I have only one left; but Elijah insisted and said, by the leading and according to the word of God, give me food.
Thank God the woman heeded; I pray for you, at the turning point of your life, may you make the right decisions in the mighty name of Jesus. The woman yielded her last meal, it means that her death sentence was faster but she didn’t mind because it was God now at play, but God ensured that what was supposed to be the last meal became the beginning of meals, and ensured that she, her son, her household, I believe the neighbors would be coming to eat for three years until the famine was over and there was no lack.
May I speak to somebody here; the situation that we are going through, many people, is like famine; there’s no food like we used to have, no water like we used to have, people cannot just go and buy things as they used to do, because everything is now unsteady, you measure and measure and you are thinking when would this be over; in the name that’s above every other name, in the midst of this shortage, in the midst of insufficiency, in the midst of famine, in the midst of lack, the Lord Almighty will open new ways for you in the mighty name of Jesus. Where others are rationing food, you’ll be giving out in the mighty name of Jesus. Where others are waiting for death, you will be renewing lives in the name of Jesus.
The third story; healing without limit. There is this story in the Bible, John 5: 1- 11, the Bible tells us that there’s a pool in a city called Bethesda, and around that place in one of the porches, there are sick people, people with different sicknesses –the lame, the blind, those who could not hear, those who had stomach pain, anything whatsoever they were all there, so they called it impotent folks, he was among these impotent folks.
So this man was there but the people were not there without hope, once in a season the Bible says an angel would come, trouble the water, and whoever would run into that water first would be healed of whatever sickness they had; that was a protocol and they were living with that.
So this man was lame; please tell me, in a congregation like that, a lame man, how could he ever win that race? So it was a no battle, it was a no starter for him but he tried, after some time he realized that there’s no way he was going to win this, he surrendered to fate. John 5: 6; when Jesus saw him lie, what was he doing? He was lying down, he said I cannot come and kill myself, I can’t run anymore, there’s no point because it doesn’t amount to anything for me.
He could not see another way of healing other than running into that pool, but one day Jesus Christ came to him and said do you want to be made whole? Ehn, I want to but there’s nobody to help me; He said do you want to be made whole? Even against his unbelief, God moved. You know some of us will be saying ah, is it true or is it not true? The Lord Almighty will help your unbelief in the mighty name of Jesus.
Before the end of that day, instead of having to run into water, God bypassed that protocol and went to him directly. Somebody will receive divine favor in the name of Jesus. God went to him directly and he packed his bag that day, he walked out of that place that day, people saw him and marveled that same day. In the name that’s above every other name, I do not know what is the sickness, I do not know what is it that people have labeled you through it and said impotent folk or that sick man or that man with that condition, that woman with that; the One who bypassed a protocol at Bethesda will visit you today in the mighty name of Jesus.
The doctors have said there is no way; the doctors have said this womb cannot carry a child; the doctors have said this thing is terminal; the doctors have said this thing cannot be cured, that is the doctor; the Doctor of doctors says I made you; the Doctor of doctors says I know what to do to make it right, and it will come to you in the name of Jesus.
Story number four; abundance without limits. 2nd Kings 4: 1-7; here we have the story of a woman who was married to a son of a prophet but she became widowed, that means her husband died, but when the husband died, the Bible tells us that she had two sons but the husband had used the two sons to borrow money. May you not get to a situation where you will use your children to borrow money in the mighty name of Jesus.
And the husband died and left a huge debt that the generations after him could not finish to pay. When you are going to leave this world, you will not leave debts in the name of Jesus. The Bible says a good man liveth an inheritance for his children’s children, the Lord will bless you so much that you will live good inheritance not debt for your generations to come in the name of Jesus.
So back to the story of this woman; the woman one day, when she heard that the creditors were coming, got up and said I won’t allow them to take my sons; she went to Elisha, help me, and then we know the story, but before I go back to that story, there are a few things I want to point out here; she was the wife of a minister in the church, I assumed that she was a Christian by implication; many of us think that the moment you say you are a Christian or you are a child of God, no more problems, you are living in heaven because it’s only in heaven that there is no more problem, Hallelujah!
Brethren, there will be challenges, there will be troubles, there will be tribulations, there will be persecutions, but the only thing the Bible tells us is that we will overcome, and you will overcome them in the name of Jesus. Psalms 34: 17, the Bible says “The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles”, may you be delivered in the name of Jesus.
Another lesson from that woman is; whenever there is trouble, don’t keep it to yourselves. These jackets, these clothes, that we are all wearing cover a lot of secrets; some people looking fine, beautiful and all that, new shoes and all that, but inside they are crying, crying alone can kill fast. The woman did not go to Elisha immediately her husband died, she must have been crying for some time before she cried openly, don’t wait, seek for help, and number three is that when she asked for help, help came immediately. The help that you need is around you, may the Lord open your eyes to see them in the mighty name of Jesus.
Psalms 46: 1, the Bible says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble; He’s always there, ever there, all you need to do is cry, you don’t need MTN, you don’t need any line – any communication line, just talk to God and He will answer. Praise the living Jesus!
Now back to the woman; she ran to Elisha, she probably expected Elisha to say thus saith the Lord, by this time tomorrow you shall no longer be indebted, the creditor will die; it’s not true, the creditor did not do anything wrong by giving you money, so please if you are owing, pay back, don’t go and pray prayer that the creditor should die, they will not die because God is a just God.
She probably also expected Elisha to say don’t worry, I’ll talk to them on your behalf, they will leave you, but none of those happened, what did Elisha say? We will pay this debts but I’ll show you how, and God said to her, go and take vessels -empty vessels, the only little oil you have, start spreading it, she said haha, how can this small thing fill… he said just continue, the just shall live by faith, and then she started, one, two, three, four, five, six, twenty, hundred, like that, and then until the last vessel was filled, then he gave her instruction, go and sell.
She sold only a part of it and paid the debt; she said what do I do with the remaining? That is yours, go and live, you are no longer in debt but in abundance. Brethren, she could not find a way out but God who had a thousand ways out of troubles showed the way, may the Lord Almighty open the way for you in the name of Jesus, and in place of lack, He will give you abundance. For those who are in debts, the Lord will pay them miraculously in His own way in the mighty name of Jesus.
But please remember, don’t pray that your creditor should die, please.
Number five; laughter without limits, that’s another story, laughter without limits. In the morning we used the story of Sarah, Genesis 21: 1- 3, but also in this category is Hannah, so Genesis 21; the Bible says “And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. (verse 2), she conceived, bear Abraham a son in his old age, at the time that God has spoken to him.(verse 3) and then bear his son and called the name of the son Isaac”. Isaac means laughter, so it means that she had been crying, she had been sorrowful and God put an end to that sorrow with Isaac, she was already 90 years old.
In Genesis 18, the angels said to her or the messenger said to her, in the season of life by this time next year, you will bear; she said me, at this age, can I still have a child? That is the reason of a man, a man thinks after a certain age you can’t conceive again, but it is not so with God, the One who made the body, you are only counting age, 90 years, what is 90 years before God? The One in whose timeline a thousand years is like a day; 90 years is like this.
So God opened the womb and she had the child and put an end to sorrow, and she became Mama Laughter; in the name that is above every other name, whatever has been causing you to cry, bringing sorrow to your lives, the Lord will put an end to them in the name of Jesus. He will make you to laugh; your name will become laughter from today in Jesus name.
The next story and perhaps the last one, hope without limits. Brethren, there is nothing that brings hopelessness like death; nothing brings hopelessness like death; once something dies or someone dies, hope is over, but that is with man, with God, death is not the end.
One of the days Paul found himself before a king called Agrippa, Acts 26: 8, he said Paul, you have been accused of this of this of that, come and speak for yourself, and instead of Paul making case for himself, he started preaching and started talking to him about how Jesus died and was raised up; so I’m sure Agrippa was like die, when somebody is dead he’s dead now, how can He be raised up? Paul said why should you think it is impossible that God will raise the dead?
But I don’t blame Agrippa; in the calendar of man, once something dies it is over, but God can bring the dead back to life; He did it in John 11; Lazarus was sick, they called Him He said I’m coming, but before He came, Lazarus died. When He came, Martha went to Him and said I’m disappointed in You, I thought we were friends, You couldn’t even come in time until Your friend died; it’s over now, so what are You coming to do now? You can as well go back to where You are coming from. Jesus Christ said calm down, Lazarus will live, she said I know, on the resurrection day; she said you are waiting for resurrection day in 10,000 years when the Resurrection and the Life is with you now, when do you want it? Is it tomorrow or now? And then He went to the tomb of Lazarus and only called his name and gave a command to come out; the dead, grave, heard the voice of Jesus Christ and said Lazarus you don’t belong here, go, go, and the dead came back to life.
So brethren, I’m saying whatever situation you find yourself that appears to be hopeless, if there’s nothing as hopeless as death and God can put a renewal to death, whatsoever it is in your life that is hopeless, today, the Lord Almighty will give a renewed hope in the mighty name of Jesus.
They said the womb cannot carry a baby anymore, not so with God; they said the business is dead, not so with God; they said you cannot graduate, not so with God; they said you have passed the age of marriage, not so with God; whatsoever the world has written off, God will reopen them for you in Jesus mighty name.
But I’d like to add to you that when you begin to operate in this realm of unlimited possibilities, certain things will happen; we can’t take all but we’ll take a few; the first of it is that dreams and destinies are fulfilled. You remember the story of Joseph; he was a dreamer, he dreamed that one day, his family, brother, father, everybody will come and bow down. One day his brother said okay, here comes a dreamer, when we finish with him, let us see how that dream will come to pass, but because Joseph was operating under the shadow of the God of unlimited possibilities, they could not kill him, they sold him.
The people they sold him to sold him forward; in that place they said we’ll punish you, go to prison; in the prison, he met destiny helper who took him to his destiny. The destiny that the brother said let us see how it will be achieved, he achieved it; the bow down that they didn’t want to bow down, not only did they bow down, they prostrated. In the name that’s above every other name, you will fulfill your dreams; you will reach your destinies in life in the mighty name of Jesus.
If there’s anyone here and they have told you they cannot amount to anything, it is a lie from the pit of hell, you will amount to something in the name of Jesus.
When you operate under the realm of unlimited possibilities, your enemies will be at peace with you, Hallelujah! In Genesis 26, brethren, it’s not today that japa syndrome started, in Genesis 26, Isaac realized that things are not moving but they said to him in certain countries it is happening; he said I want to japa and God said no, stay here, it is here that I will bless you, and that’s a message for somebody; before you make that move, hear what God is saying, don’t japa anyhow, hear what God is saying.
So Isaac stayed in obedience to the word of God and then the Philistines frustrated him in many ways, but every time they tried to stop him he grew better, he became stronger, he became mightier. So one day they all had a family meeting and said let us borrow ourselves sense, this guy that we are trying to stop is unstoppable, let us go and beg him and make friends with him.
His enemies came together, Genesis 26: 26-28, and said please, we were being childish before, now we’ve come to our senses, don’t be annoyed, he accepted them and they became friends. Every enemy of your life that speaks against you behind you and when they see you they say good things, they are enemies; every enemy of your life that is digging the pit for you, as you begin to operate under the realm of unlimited possibilities, they will come to make peace with you in the mighty name of Jesus.
We can take one more; you will become an ambassador for Christ. When you operate under this realm, you will become Christ’s ambassador. A very good example of that is Apostle Paul; the Bible tells us that Paul went through a lot of things; shipwreck, he was imprisoned, they beat him, caned him, they abused him, they tore his clothes, they took him to everywhere but guess what, if you look through the whole of the Bible, save Jesus Christ, the one who stood out like a picture of an ambassador for Christ was Paul, because he operated under that realm of unlimited possibilities.
From today, wherever you go, people will see Christ in you; signs and wonders will introduce you; the words you speak shall become laws in the mighty name of Jesus. You will carry the body of Christ. 2nd Corinthians 5: 26, and now we are ambassadors for Christ, and that’s who you are from today in the mighty name of Jesus.
But these are very good things but we have roles to play; to get these things to happen, there are things that we also must do; one of the things we need to do, you must have faith in God. Mark 9: 23, all these things are mind-blowing, you remember that man by the pool of Bethesda, he didn’t have faith; remember Sarah, when they told her that she would give birth, she said at this age, 90? She didn’t believe it; you must have faith to be able to contain what God is about to do.
Mark 9: 23, Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. All things are possible once you believe God that God can do it.
Number two, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ. So if you have not at any time surrendered your life to Him, or if you did and you walked back, it’s a good opportunity to go back to Him because the God of unlimited possibilities will give things first to His children, will give His children preferential treatment over any other person, Hallelujah!
So when it is time, when we make the altar call, please run forward; and then still on that, Romans 10: 9& 10 say, if thou will confess with your mouth that the Lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, then thou shall be saved. That’s all you need to do, confession with your mouth, Hallelujah!
Apart from this impossibility that will be broken today that we talked about, there’s also a very more important reason why you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ; last week was Easter Sunday, we all celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but there is a message in that resurrection and the message is that Jesus Christ showed us that we’ll live, we’ll die, and we’ll be raised, that’s the message, and for those who will still be alive when He comes back, they may not die but they will rise up with Him, but that’s going to be that, but if you are not in a position to be raised when He comes back, it should be unfortunate.
So I want to invite as many people here this morning, you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, or you did at a time but with circumstances of life you’ve gone back, you want to come to Him this morning, start with Him anew, salvation is available for you this morning, give your life to Jesus Christ, accept Him, surrender to Him as your Lord and Savior, and then you will enter into the realm of unlimited possibilities, He’ll put an end to failure, put an end to stagnation.
If you are here this morning, just wave your hands because we want to pray quickly. You are here this morning, you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please just come. Come and join them because Jesus Christ is coming back as the Bible tells us and He’s coming back for a church without blemish or wrinkle, if there’s sin in your life, you know there is a tarnish in your life, please come and accept Him as Lord and Savior. if you
You are here, you are in between making up your mind, just come forward and the Lord Almighty will accept you in the mighty name of Jesus. While waiting for them to come, please let us rise, so we can take our prayers; brethren let us give thanks to God, our God of our limited possibilities, the One who can make different options available, more than a thousand options for every situation; let us thank Him, brethren, let us thank God; let’s thank God; let’s bless His Holy name; let us give Him thanks for salvation; let us give Him thanks; let us bless His Holy name. Father we thank You; Father we thank You; God of unlimited possibilities we thank You; we give You all the glory; we give You all honor and adoration in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank You blessed Redeemer, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
We heard the song by the choir, it says ‘all things are possible’, and indeed all things are possible because it’s supported by the scripture, Luke 1: 37, so if there is any impossibility in your life right now, you have aspirations, things you want to do but there are barriers, the reasons why they are not happening; God is saying all things are possible, come to God.
So we are going to pray and say Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, please put an end to every impossibility in my life; every barrier, every barrier in my life, every limitation, every restriction over my life, Father please put an end; for with You nothing shall be impossible, please put an end oh Lord, put an end O Lord, to every barrier in my life in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you heavenly Father, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
We see that everybody in life at a point in time comes to a critical point where you take certain decisions, and decision you take determines if you’ll go up or go down or remain there. We saw it, the widow of Zarephath had a decision to make, last meal, maybe if she ate that meal she would still have two days to live, if she doesn’t eat she’ll die today; but she decided to give it to Jesus, she took the right decision and the story we all know.
We are going to cry to the Lord Almighty; Father, please help me to make the right decisions at all times, in my life, in the name of Jesus. Help me to make that right decision in the mighty name of Jesus. Help me O Lord to make the right decision always; everything that I need to do, Father Lord help me to make the right decisions in the mighty name of Jesus. Help me oh Lord to make that right decision in the name of Jesus. Thank You Father, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And finally, for every situation we look at it, we are blinded because we are humans and see only one possibility, but God has many options and He can use any of them, but what happens to us is that most times we are fixated on what we see and we continue to stay there at that roadblock instead of saying God, what are You saying?
Let us cry to the Lord Almighty and say Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, please give me the grace to always look unto You every time I get to a roadblock, every time I get to a crossroad, to look unto You for options; show me the plans that You have for my life. Father please give me the grace oh Lord to always depend on You; to always look up to You every time I get to a point where I can go no further; in every situation that I find myself, help me to always look up to You; help me O Lord in the name of Jesus. Thank You Father, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Praise the Lord!

Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:17
Righteousness is not right “doing” but right “being”. In other words it is not what you have done right. You cannot really do right until you are made right. That is why God gave you His righteousness- Nature-Character-Right-standing so that you can do Right – conduct, once you have been made right or conduct yourself rightly. The text says the gift of righteousness causes us to reign in this life.
What a beautiful revelation from Paul. This gift gives me boldness to approach God without any fear of inferiority, condemnation or guilt. I expect Him to honour every request I present before Him. The gift of righteousness also causes you to stand boldly before the devil without any fear or intimidation. There is a knowing that the devil will have no choice than to obey.
I know you have probably been conditioned to earning righteousness; but let me burst your bubble if you are in that category – you cannot earn God’s righteousness. Try as much as you can, do all you know to do, you cannot earn a right standing with the Father by your works. It was the complete failure to earn righteousness that brought Jesus to the scene – He became sin, who knew no sin, that you might be made the righteousness of God. So He carried out a divine exchange – exchanged His righteous nature for your own sinful nature and nailed it eternally on the cross that you might have His righteousness.
When you have this understanding, it will cause you to rule in your world. Celebrate the gift of righteousness.

Habitation Of The Lord. RCCG Open Heavens. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye.
Pastor E A Adeboye. Open Heavens. RCCG
Memorise: If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. – Job 8:6
Read: Psalms 97:10-11 (KJV)
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Bible in One Year: 2 Corinthians 10-13, Psalms 15-16
MESSAGE:
The characteristics of the habitation of the Lord attract our attention because of the blessings awaiting us there. The qualification of those who can be part of the habitation of the Lord is worthy of note. Our memory verse says:
“If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.”– Job 8:6
The habitation of the Lord is the place where God blesses His people with diverse kinds of blessings – spiritual, physical and material. Only the pure and upright can enjoy the blessings of God’s habitation, one of which is security.
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” – Psalms 91:1
The issue of holiness is not a subject of debate for those who know that they stand to gain by living holy. If you live holy, you live holy for yourself as the Lord watches over the righteous (Psalms 5:12). Also, there is promotion for those who abide in the habitation of the Lord (Hebrews 1:9). Moreover, the Bible says;
“1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.” –Psalms 15:1-2
In other words, the habitation of the Lord is not an “all comers” affair, even though whoever chooses to be there can be there if the fellow is ready to pay the price. The price of living holy is what those who want to abide in the habitation of the Lord must pay. Our text for today emphasises the necessity of righteousness vis-a-vis divine protection:
“10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.” – Psalms 97:10-11
Nobody is careless about his precious possession. Anybody who chooses to live a consecrated life will enjoy divine protection. Such are precious stones in the sight of the Lord. The Lord watches over His heritage, i.e. His saints. This is why Psalms 125:3says:
“For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”
He keeps them under His protection and ensures no evil befalls them. My prayer is that you will live under the watchful eyes of the Almighty.
Action Point:Search the scripture and find out all you must do to be able to abide in the habitation of the Lord.
Thank You Jesus.

Matthew_6-20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
God In Heaven Hath A Treasure
Riches None May Count Or Tell;
Hath A Deep Eternal Pleasure,
Christ, The Son, He Loveth Well.
God Hath Here On Earth A Treasure
None But He Its Price May Know,
Deep, Unfathomable Pleasure,
Christ Revealed In Saints Below.
God In Tongues Of Fire Descending,
Chosen Vessels Thus To Fill
With The Treasure Never Ending,
Ever Spent, Unfailing Still,
God’s Own Hand The Vessel
Filling
From The Glory Far Above,
Longing Hearts For Ever Stilling
With The Riches Of His Love.
Thus Though Worn, And Tried, And Tempted,
Glorious Calling, Saint, Is Thine;
Let The Lord But Find Thee Emptied,
Living Branch In Christ The Vine!
Vessels Of The World’s Despising,
Vessels Weak, And Poor, And Base
Bearing Wealth God’s Heart Is Prizing,
Glory From Christ’s Blessed Face.
Oh, To Be But Emptier, Lowlier,
Mean, Un-Noticed And Unknown,
And To God A Vessel Holier,
Filled With Christ And Christ
Alone!
Naught Of Earth To Cloud The Glory,
Naught Of Self The Light To Dim,
Telling Forth His Wondrous Story
Emptied-To Be Filled With Him.
Amen!

Psalms_16-8: I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
God Moves In A Mysterious Way
His Wonders To Perform;
He Plants His Footsteps In The Sea,
And Rides Upon The Storm.
Deep In Unfathomable Mines
Of Never Failin Skill
He Treasures Up His Bright Designs,
And Works His Sovereign Will.
Ye Fearful Saints, Fresh Courage Take!
The Clouds Ye So Much Dread
Are Big With Mercy, And Shall Break
In Blessings On Your Head.
Judge Not The Lord By Feeble Se Rise
But Trust Him Tot His Grace:
Behind A Frowning Providence
He Hides A Smiling Face.
His Purposes Will Ripen Fast,
Unfolding Every Hour;
The Bud May Have A Bitter Taste,
But Sweet Will Be The Flower.
Blind Unbelief Is Sure To Err,
And Scan His Work In Vain;
God Is His Own Interpreter,
And He Will Make It Plain.
Amen!
1-Corinthians_15-58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord

Matthew_4-4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Isaiah_40-8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever
The Word Of God Is More Powerful Than Any Witches And Wizards
“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.”
Luke 1:45 (KJV)
The word of God is more powerful than any obstacle. It is more powerful than witches and wizards. It is more powerful than incantations, spells and divinations. It is more powerful than any pronouncement and negative things that are working against you. The word of God has been spoken. And he will see to it that the word spoken in your life will come to pass.
I encourage you, therefore, to hold on to the word. Hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering. Never give up your confidence. Cast it not away. God will see to it that the word is validated in your job, business, academics etc. Don’t be afraid, no matter what you encounter. There shall surely be a performance. “With God nothing shall be impossible”(Luke 1:1-37, KJV).
If you hold on to the word, you are guaranteed of victory. The word cannot fail. If it fails, it means God has failed. He has said His word will not return to Him void. That is why we have an edge against the world. They don’t have the word of God. We have an edge because we have the God factor. God is with you. With you, God will do mighty things. He will do the impossible. He will shut the mouth of the enemy. He is God. Beside Him there is no other.
Why do you think you are saved? Is it to become a disgrace to His kingdom? No! You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a peculiar person, a holy nation. Set apart to show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light. You may have missed it severally but you will succeed. Don’t go about with your head bowed to the devil. Lift up your head! God has already perfected everything that concerns you and He wants you to function from that standpoint.
Hebrews 6:9-20
9 But even if we speak like this, dear friends, we feel sure about you. We know that you have the better blessings that belong to your salvation. 10 God is not unfair. He will not forget the work you did or the love you showed for him in the help you gave and are still giving to other Christians. 11 Our great desire is that each of you keep up your eagerness to the end, so that the things you hope for will come true. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to be like those who believe and are patient, and so receive what God has promised.
God’s Sure Promise 13 When God made his promise to Abraham, he made a vow to do what he had promised. Since there was no one greater than himself, he used his own name when he made his vow. 14 He said, “I promise you that I will bless you and give you many descendants.” 15 Abraham was patient, and so he received what God had promised. 16 When we make a vow, we use the name of someone greater than ourselves, and the vow settles all arguments. 17 To those who were to receive what he promised, God wanted to make it very clear that he would never change his purpose; so he added his vow to the promise. 18 There are these two things, then, that cannot change and about which God cannot lie. So we who have found safety with him are greatly encouraged to hold firmly to the hope placed before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for our lives. It is safe and sure, and goes through the curtain of the heavenly temple into the inner sanctuary. 20 On our behalf Jesus has gone in there before us and has become a high priest forever, in the priestly order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 10:35-39
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Psalms_119-11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalms_19-14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer

Hebrews_4-12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
Proverbs_30-5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 (KJV)
The word of God will fight for itself. If Jesus did not fail, the word of God will never fail because Jesus and His word are one. Let the rain come down, let everyone be against you, but hold on tenaciously to His word. You may not understand the things around you but just hold the word. And you watch what the word will do.
In Mark 4:35, Jesus said “let us pass over unto the other side”. That was the word that came from the lips of Jesus. And they got into the boat and started going. Suddenly, there was a storm. The wind became contrary. But, nevertheless, they could not be stopped because Jesus had spoken.
Maybe, you are experiencing contrary situations in your life. You are experiencing things that are contrary to what God has spoken. The Lord has spoken that by His stripes you were healed. He has spoken that with long life will he satisfy you and show you His salvation. He has spoken that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. He has spoken that you are blessed going out and blessed coming in. He has spoken that you have been redeemed from every curse of the law. My friend, forget the devil. God’s words are spirit and life. They will not fail. Devil, I say to you get lost. God’s people shall manifest.
Beloved, God is not intimidated by the attacks of the devil. He would not start a thing and stop it halfway. God will overrule for you. There is a divine investment into your life that is about to shake nations and affect community. Don’t you ever think that God will just watch and allow the devil to mess with you. I declare to you that you are coming out of every pressure and every influence of the devil. The devil will never have the last word. If anyone will testify, it is you.
Joshua 21:43-45 43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
READ:Psalm 105
Romans_10-17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
Luke_11-28: But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Welcome Address To SHILOH 2015, FROM GLORY TO GLORY, 2 Corinthians 3:18 By Bishop David O. Oyedepo. Winners Chapel, Living Faith Church Shiloh 2015
Heaven on Earth greetings in Jesus’ name.
As we all know, our God specializes in doing new things over and again – Is. 43:19/Lam. 3:22-33
Again, we understand that by redemption, we are ordained for continuous and unending progress – Pro. 4:18
We also understand that God is committed to our continuous change of levels as His children– Ps. 84:7
Furthermore, we understand that all the forces that engender change of levels grow and that there is no end to the growth of all spiritual forces responsible for our change of story.
For example, some of the ever-growing forces responsible for our translation from glory to glory include:
The Force of Vision, but there is no end to seeing farther– Gen. 13:14-15/ Hos. 12:10
The Force of Faith, but there is no end to developing one’s faith – 2 Thess. 1:3/ Jn. 14:12
The Force of Revelation, but there is no end to growing in revelation– 2 Cor. 3:18/ 1 Cor. 8:1-2
The Force of Wisdom, but there is no end to growing in wisdom – Rom. 11:33/ Matt. 12:42
The Force of Love, but there is no end to growing in love – Eph. 3:17-19/ 1Cor. 2:9
The Anointing of the Holy Spirit, but there is no end to growing in the anointing – Ezek. 47:1-7/ Jn. 3:34 All of the above implies that:
There is no end to change of levels in God’s agenda for His people – Is. 43:18-19/ Deut. 28:1-13
There is no end to change of levels for the redeemed – Pro. 4:18/ Rom. 5:1
This is because:
As we grow in revelation, we scale new heights – 2 Cor. 3:18/ Is. 60:1-22
As we grow in love, we spring new surprises – Eph. 3:17-19/ 1 Cor. 2:9
As we grow in wisdom, we grow in impact – Rom. 11:33/ Matt. 13:54
As we grow in the anointing, we grow in exploits– Ezek. 47:1-7/Joel 2:23-26
This is why, there is no end to Next Levels for the Redeemed – Pro. 4:18/ Jn. 14:12
Indeed, there is no end to being translated from glory to glory, as we remain committed to walking in the ever-increasing light we access from scriptures.
Therefore, the prophetic theme for Shiloh 2015 is:
FROM GLORY TO GLORY– 2 Corinthians 3:18
We are all expected to get set to access new depth of insight, empowering us to break new grounds, scale new heights, break limits into greater realms of glory, resulting in the rise of giants at Shiloh 2015.
But according to scriptures, we can only be full beneficiaries of Shiloh 2015if we fully engage in the spiritual preparations required for its maximum impact because the husbandman that labours is ordained to be the first partaker of the fruit – 2 Tim. 2:6
Remain ever blessed.
Jesus is Lord!
David O. Oyedepo

I Did Not Deserve God’s Forgiveness, But He Forgave Me Through Christ Jesus
Luke_6-37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven
1-John_1-9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
Matthew 18:21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
Peter asked the Lord how often he should forgive his brother. The Lord’s answer to him was simple: Up to 70 times seven times. (Matthew 18:22) In other words, all the time!
“Well, he does not deserve my forgiveness.”
Neither did you deserve God’s forgiveness.
There is not a single person alive or dead who did not break all 10 of God’s commandments. There is no such thing as a “partial sinner” or “great sinner”. All of us were great sinners when Jesus saved us. And when we realize that we are forgiven much, we will love much. (Luke 7:47)
“How can you say that I have broken all of God’s commandments? I have never committed adultery.”
My friend, Jesus said, “If you lust after a woman in your heart, you have already committed adultery with her.”(Matthew 5:28) That is God’s standard. Man looks outward, but God looks inward at the heart. Moreover, if you break one law, you are guilty of all. (James 2:10)So everyone has broken all of God’s commandments. Everyone is a great sinner.
Now, you are no longer a sinner if you have received Christ as your Savior. You are a new creation. But you were a great sinner and God forgave you your huge debt through the death of His Son.
So if someone has wronged you, tell yourself this: “I did not deserve God’s forgiveness, but He forgave me through Christ. So I forgive this person also.” If you say something like, “He does not deserve it,” it makes no sense. Forgiveness is not for people who deserve it. If they deserve anything, it is punishment. But forgiveness means that you extend grace—undeserved favor—like how God extends undeserved favor to you.
Beloved, if you choose to hold on to bitterness, no one suffers but you. You lose your peace, then possibly your health. It is just not worth it. God says to you, “Let go. Forgive them their debts, just as I have forgiven you yours.”
2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which 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
1-John_1-9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

Revelation_21-7: He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Psalms_37-11: But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
In this verse, “all things” is literally all things—the good, the bad and the ugly! Now, it does not mean that all things are from God. Some things, such as accidents, sicknesses, broken relationships and divorces are not from Him. They are from the devil or just part of the fallen world that we live in. But what this verse does tell us is that “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose”. That is our inheritance as God’s beloved children.
Do the people of the world have this inheritance? No. When bad things happen to them, they are what they are—bad things. But when bad things happen to the children of God, it does not end there. God can make those bad things work together for good. In other words, the devil may throw lemons at you, but God can take those lemons and make refreshing lemonade for you!
For example, if you have been retrenched, believe that God, who makes all things work together for good, has a better job for you. Indeed, we have received testimonies from church members who have ended up with better jobs and higher salaries after they were retrenched.
It is important you remember that God is not behind anything bad or ugly. But when those things happen, know that He can make all things work together for good. Believers are those who love God because they know that God first loved them. (1 John 4:19)And they are called according to His purpose for they have been born again and belong to Him.
My friend, because you have been born again, all things in your life will work together for good. This is your inheritance as a beloved child of God!
Psalms_37-11: But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace
Revelation_21-7: He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Psalms_89-1-2: I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations
Psalms_108-3: I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations
My Sins And Lawless Deeds God Will Remember No More! Hallelujah!
Hebrews 10:17
Then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
“Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”(Romans 4:8) Hallelujah!
My friend, the reason that God does not impute any of our sins to us is that He has already imputed all of them to the body of His Son Jesus when He hung on the cross 2,000 years ago. Not only that, when God punished His Son for our sins, He caused the curse of the law to fall stroke by stroke upon Jesus’ entire body until every curse had been fully satisfied. That is why we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. (Galatians 3:13)That is why, instead of imputing sin to us, God imputes righteousness!
God wants us to know that our sins and lawless deeds He will remember no more. The words “no more” in the original Greek text carry a strong double-negative meaning. In other words, God is saying, “No way, by no means, will I ever remember your sins again!”
Beloved, since God says that He will remember your sins no more, why do you still remember them? Or for that matter, your spouse’s or neighbor’s sins? God does not want you to be conscious of sins because He is not. So rejoice! Come to Him boldly and expect Him to show you mercy and grace because He remembers your sins no more!
Psalms_113-3: From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised
Romans_6-14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Bible Verses Against The Spirit Of Suicide. God Hates Suicides
Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one’s own death. Suicide is often carried out as a result of despair, the cause of which is frequently attributed to a mental disorder such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, alcoholism, or drug abuse, as well as stress factors such as financial difficulties, troubles with interpersonal relationships, and bullying.
Thinking about suicide is scary. You may have strong feelings that are hard to deal with. You may feel like things will never be better, but you are not alone. Many people think about suicide. Thinking about suicide does not mean that you will do it. It does not mean that you are “going crazy.”Thinking about suicide is often a sign that you want to escape.
There are ways to feel better. Remember, you are not alone. You can start by talking to someone else. You can talk to a family member or friend you trust.
People who commit suicide feel that their problems are too big for them to control. They think that ending their life is the only solution, but it’s not.
Jesus loves you and He wants to help you!
Bible Verses Against The Spirit Of Suicide
This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it
John 11:4
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. 2 Corinthians 1:8–10
In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death. Proverbs 12:28
If the LORD had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
When I thought, “My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. Psalm 94:17–19
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:10–11
To you, O LORD, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
“What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me!
O LORD, be my helper!” Psalm 30:8–10
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1–5

Psalm 42:5
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

Sustain me according to your promise, and I will live….

I Love You Dear! In The Hands Of God, My Words Will Be Used Like Nails To Secure My Spouse’s Self-Esteem
The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails. Ecclesiastes 12:11
When your marriage relationship hits a trouble spot, it may be difficult to find much to praise about each other. Yet those are the times we need praise the most. So I urge you to initiate praising your spouse. Make it a deliberate effort. Bring the power of positive words to him or her in the midst of trouble.
In the verse above, Solomon gave some very descriptive characteristics of well-spoken words. When you choose to encourage and praise your spouse, your words carry the ability to prod, or goad, him or her in the right direction. And notice the result: Those words become like “well-driven nails,”the kind that secure all types of building projects.
In the hands of God, your words can be used like nails to secure your mate’s self-esteem. Your wise and truthful words bring perspective to his or her life, to your relationship and to your situation as a couple. They make finding solutions to your problems a real possibility.
You may be asking, “What if all this praise goes to my spouse’s head? Won’t he become prideful?”There’s a difference between truthful praise and flattery.
Flattery gratifies a person’s vanity, but praise is based on a person’s character and deeds. When you truthfully praise and applaud your spouse’s choices, you reinforce the value of building godly character.
Paul exhorts us, “Speak truth each one of you with his neighbor”(Ephesians 4:25). A keyword in that phrase is “truth,” which is the only real standard for bringing value to another person. Truth results in assurance and security, in worth and value. It becomes the compass during the storm that confidently steers us in the right direction.
So praise your spouse in all situations, using wisdom to meet the need of the moment, speaking truthfully to help construct character. Your words of affirmation can help rebuild what life has torn apart.
PRAY
Pray for a heart that longs to build up, not tear down.
Hebrews_10-24:And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

1-Corinthians_6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own
1-Corinthians_6-20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Children Need Role Models. Let’s Talk About Sex
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18
3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
1-Corinthians_6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own
1-Corinthians_6-20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
ROMANS 16:19
Have you ever had that wave of paralyzing dread—the one where you fear you’ll come off looking and feeling like a hypocrite if you challenge your child to uphold standards you didn’t keep too well yourself when you were younger?
For many, this feeling is especially acute when talking to children about sexual behavior. I believe this is one of the ways the enemy attempts to silence parents. But don’t allow past failures to prevent you from calling your child to the standard of God’s Word.
After all, every one of us has lied, haven’t we? Yet we still teach our children to tell the truth. When it comes to talking frankly with your preteens and teenagers about what God expects of them sexually, you dare not let the fear of an embarrassing question force you into silence.
Most children won’t ask whether or not you were a virgin prior to marriage. But even if they do—and even if you weren’t—you could answer, “That’s a good question, and someday when you’re an adult, I want to answer you more fully. But for now, that information is off-limits.”
If your child isn’t satisfied and persists in digging further, you may want to admit, “Yes, I made some mistakes I really regret,” but not go into details.
Children need role models, especially in their parents. And it’s better if they don’t know certain things about you when they’re too young to understand.
When your child is grown, in the context of an adult relationship, you can decide how much you want to reveal. But for now, don’t let vivid descriptions become stumbling blocks in their lives and in your discussions.
Keep the subject on God’s standards and on His desire for their welfare and purity. They need to hear from you what God expects of them.
1 Corinthians 10:13 – There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
Matthew 5:28 – But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
1-Corinthians_6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own
1-Corinthians_6-20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Psalms_19-14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer
Psalms_119-105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path
There Is God’s Supernatural Power In The Words I Speak
I want to share something with you today that many believers have yet to understand. It’s a truth that can help you stay at peace, knowing the power that is yours in Christ Jesus. I think that’s why I’m so excited to write this letter—I want you to see that…
There is supernatural power in the words you speak.
When our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again to be seated at the right hand of the Father, the Bible tells us that we as believers were also seated in Christ at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 2:4-6).
Today, seated in Christ at the Father’s right hand, you have divine authority! Because of this, your words carry incredible, divine, and supernatural power.
Beloved, the words you speak have life-giving, creative power. What you choose to say sets in motion the kind of life you are going to live.
And more specifically…
The words you speak by faith in the days to come will positively influence the direction of your life in 2016.
Let’s look at what that means for you and your family as you approach a brand-new year. If you’ll believe that God’s Word is true and speak His promises over your life in faith, you’re going to see greater things in the year to come… •Improved health •Restored relationships •Increased provision •Renewed youth
And these blessings are just the beginning…there is no limit to the grace and goodness of God through Christ Jesus!
It is amazing to see what Jesus taught about faith and the power of words in Mark 11 after He had cursed the barren fig tree.
The disciples were astonished that the unfruitful tree had withered just as Jesus had commanded it to. It was at this moment that Jesus taught His followers about the connection between what you believe and what you say.
Look carefully and you’ll see it…
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
Did you catch it? Jesus used the word “says” three times, but He mentions “believes”only once.
Beloved, can you see that while right believing is important, it needs to go hand-in-hand with speaking words of faith? When you believe something, you speak it out (2 Corinthians 4:13).
Jesus mentioned “says” three times and “believes”only once because…
Giving voice to what you believe strengthens your faith and anchors your heart on God’s promises for your life.
That’s why your words are so important. Not only can you speak faith into your situation, you can speak life to your soul. So say… •“I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!” •“I am healed. My body is growing stronger. I am whole!” •“I have the favor of God. Good things happen to me and through me.” •“My sins are forgiven. I am unconditionally loved by my heavenly Father.”
When you declare your righteousness, forgiveness, and healing in Christ, hope, faith, and strength rise in your heart. It determines how you respond to challenges, how you unlock God’s power in your circumstances and the direction your life will take.
Speaking life over every situation,
Hebrews_4-12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
Proverbs_30-5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him

Luke_12-6: Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Luke_18-27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God
I Shall Not Worry Again, For God Shall Take Very Good Care Of Me
Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Perched on a tree branch, two birds were observing passers-by rushing from one place to another. Looking at their faces, one bird asked the other, “Why is man so full of worries and cares?” The other bird answered, “Maybe they don’t have a heavenly Father like we do.”
I believe that the Lord made birds to tell us that we are of more value than many birds put together. In Matthew 10:29, Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?” Then, in Luke 12:6, He said, “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins?”If you do the math, you will realize that these sparrows are so cheap that you can buy four of them for two copper coins, and you get one thrown in for free!
Sparrows are common creatures in Israel. Yet, not even one of these cheap birds falls to the ground without the Father’s knowledge. (Matthew 10:29)Not one of them is forgotten before Him. (Luke 12:6) So will He forget you who are of more value than all these birds put together?
Jesus said, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.”And if your heavenly Father feeds the birds of the air, how much more will He feed you, His precious, beloved child!
“Why don’t I see the supply then?” you may ask.
The answer is worry. That is why Jesus also said, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’…For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”(Matthew 6:31–32)
Beloved, if your heavenly Father cares for cheap, common birds, and feeds them every day, how much more will He care for you, His dear, precious child! Let your heart be at rest as you hear Him say to you, “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”(Matthew 10:31)
Luke_12-6: Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Luke_18-27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God

Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Romans_5-17: For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ
I Must Grow In Grace In Order To Accomplish Great Things For God’s Kingdom
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8
We can only advance in our spiritual maturity as the Holy Spirit comes upon us. It is then we are able, from within, to become what He has called us to be, and that is a powerful witnesses.
Jesus experienced continual growth and increase in His life from childhood. Therefore you and I must constantly be growing in our spiritual life if victory is our goal. Those who remain stagnate in their walk with God cannot walk in victory. We must grow in grace in order to accomplish great things for God’s Kingdom.
Luke 2:40, “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him…And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man.”
I Corinthians 13:11 says, “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
2 Peter 3:18 the apostle decrees, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
We must always be in a process of spiritual growth for the sake of the King.
Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Psalms_84-11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

1-John_3-16-2: Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
What A Great Day I Live In Because Of What Jesus Has Done For Us. The Spirit Of God Lives In Me
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:16
We are infused with inner strength by the Spirit of God. As we invite God to fill us and strengthen us, something begins to happen in our spirit. There is a new enthusiasm about life and the will of God for our lives. As we recognize and yield to the Holy Spirit, God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think. We have “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (I Peter 1:8).
What a great day we live in because of what Jesus has done for us. We are redeemed because of His death, burial, resurrection, and the power of His blood.
What a powerful revelation given by the Holy Spirit. You are in Christ, Christ is in God, and Christ is in you! The Spirit of God lives in us.
Confession:

Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth
John_14-1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me
I Believe In You, GOD!
“Jesus said unto him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.'”
Mark 9:23 (NKJV)
According to 1 John 4:17:…. “as he is, so are we in this world”(KJV). He is seated in heaven. That means He is in charge. And He says we are in charge here. “Whatsoever thou shalt bind here on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose here on earth is loosed in heaven”(Matthew 16:19, KJV).
When was the last time you laid hands on the sick? When last did your son have a headache and the first thing you did was to lay hands on the child or go to your pastor for prayers. Usually, we go for Panadol because it is seems easier. When last did your meal barrel become empty and you laid hands on it for a miracle to take place. How do you prove God, if you do not believe him for anything? Why are we living in this age as if God is not real?
There was a time when there was no food to eat in the house. And I told the people living with me: “Put the pot on fire and let us begin to praise God”. Before we finished praying, a knock came on the door and there was provision. This is the type of thing that strengthens you in times of adversity. The more you prove the faithfulness of God, the more your faith grows.
Beloved, God wants to do great things for you and with you on a daily basis. Believe Him for the impossible. Whatever we have seen is nothing compared to what is coming. There is so much God wants to manifest in this day and hour that we are in. Incredible miracles! Eye popping miracles, the ones that will make people to stand in awe of your God!
The devil does not have the final say. Don’t put your faith in the doctor’s report. Put your faith in God’s report. He is God. And there are no impossibilities with Him. I have seen incredible miracles of God’s grace and all I am saying to you today is to believe. Believe for your miracles. Believe Him for your breakthrough. I assure you, He will not fail you.
Isaiah 53:1-5
Jeremiah 32:17-27
Hebrews_11-6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him
Luke_18-27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God

Psalms_23-1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want
Psalms_23-5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Every Word God Has Spoken Concerning My Life Shall Come To Pass, Amen
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life [. . .].”
Psalm 23:6 (KJV)
You know after God created all things in Genesis, He said this is good. But after making man in His own image and likeness, He said this is very good. The goodness of God will overshadow you everywhere you go. The goodness of God will pursue you. It will not only pursue you, it will catch up with you and overtake you.
Every word God has spoken concerning your life will come to pass. The word that God has spoken concerning you has already overruled the power of darkness. So if the devil speaks, it is too late. Whatever the devil has spoken is too late because the word of God has gone ahead of you. And it shall come to pass in your life.
The devil will not cut you short. Plane crash will not kill you. Armed robbers will not kill you. Assassins will not kill you. Charms and enchantments will not kill you. Diseases will not kill you. You will fulfil the days of your life. Your life will preach the gospel. Whatever you lay your hands upon shall succeed. Your life shall remain a testimony. Everywhere you go, your light will shine. The light that is coming from you will overshadow all darkness.
As this year draws to a close, it will not end without your testimony. If in the last 11 months nothing has happened, don’t give up, don’t lose hope, there is still so much time left in the year for God to give you that miracle. In every area of your life, the Lord will satisfy you with His goodness. This year will be your greatest year yet. The devil will not have the final word in your life. God has not brought you this far to disappoint you. If no one testifies, you will testify. It is too late for the devil. You are about to break out, break forth, breakthrough and break in. Hallelujah! Amen!
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23:1-6
Psalms_23-4-1: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Psalms_62-1: Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation

Joy Overflow. What My Enemies Meant For Evil, God Is Turning Them Around For My Good
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Isaiah 12:3
You can make a withdrawal from your salvation account with joy. The wells of salvation are reservoirs of healing and blessing. Joy is your bucket to draw out your blessing. If you have great joy, you have a great bucket to draw much salvation.
James 1:2says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations.” He did not say that it was a joy to have multiple troubles. He said to count it joy. Look at your problems and count. One joy…two joy…three joy…then laugh at the devil! What Satan meant for evil, God is turning around for your good. God paid too high a price for your victory for you to be defeated. Ha! Ha! Ha!
One translation of James 1:2 says to count it “Maximum Joy.”I like that! Smile, laugh, jump, shout, then dance turn it up and things will turn around!
Confession:
God brought me here to have a good time now I am going to have a good time! Hallelujah!
Romans_8-28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose

God Knows My Name. He Even Knows The Number Of Hairs On My Head
Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Every day, your hair drops. Yet, God knows how many hairs are left on your head. And He also knows how many are growing back! He knows because He bothers to count them again. When it comes to you, He always has time for every little thing about you.
So when Jesus said, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered,” He was not exaggerating. He never exaggerates. He means what He says and He says what He means. So for the Lord to say that the very hairs of your head are all numbered means that He wants you to know that He is very interested in you and has intimate knowledge about you—your body, family, finances, relationships…everything in your life!
He knows the pain you have been having in your body. He is aware of the financial worry which you have been keeping from your family. He sees how your nasty boss is treating you. He understands the hurts you have been keeping in your heart. He hears your heart’s cry for a miracle baby.
Your Heavenly Father wants you to know that as long as something concerns you, He does not overlook it.
God knows you intimately. He knows every small problem you are worried about and every single burden you have. And when you approach Him for help, He has all the time for you as if no one else exists. That is how valuable you are to Him and how absorbed He is in you! Thank You Jesus.
Matthew_10-30: But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

O Lord Give Me The Boldness To Always Step Out In Faith, To Demonstrate Your Awesome Power To The World
“And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”
Mark 16:20 (KJV)
After the Lord had spoken and given instructions to his disciples, He was received up into heaven. Immediately, they went forth and began to preach everywhere. And as they stepped out in faith in obedience to God’s word, God’s power was demonstrated mightily.
Do you know what the church has done? We decorate our stained windows. We have a good choir and smiling ushers and greeters. We preach good sermons. And we are now sitting down in church waiting for sinners to come to us. We make the church beautiful and use all kinds of media promotion. But that is not God’s strategy. God’s strategy is that power is released in obedience. Power is not released when we act contrary to divine instructions.
In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, the word of God declares: “and it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and to do all his commandments,…………all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee”(KJV). Notice that God began to work with the disciples when they chose to function in obedience. “The Lord working with them”God is saying in essence; the new strategy is that I am not going to do it alone. “We will work together”. The disciples went everywhere. They did not sit down in church. We have not seen signs because we are sitting down.
According to Ephesians 5:30: “we are members of His body, of his flesh and of his bones”(KJV). That means that the anointing can only flow today through us. We are the body, He is the Head. The head can’t get things done without the body. Jesus cannot heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils or do good to any person if you don’t do it. No one can experience Jesus if you don’t step out in faith to demonstrate His power. May the Lord give you boldness. Amen!
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:15-20
Mark_16-15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature
1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20
Nehemiah_8-10: Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength
Matthew_10-16: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It Is Awesome For God To Send His Son Jesus Christ To Die In My Place
12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:12-13
Salvation is a wonderful gift of God to mankind, it is awesome for God to send His son to die in our place and thereby redeem us from sin and satan and reconcile us to Himself. It is a free gift from God and once we confess our sins, ask for forgiveness and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we are saved, it’s straightforward.
Nevertheless, many Christians struggle in their walk with God, as they feel once they get saved things just begin to work out, they feel they ought to become holy and immune to temptation automatically. Our text today makes it clear that, there is work to be done on our own part, it is like the case of a student who wants a university degree and has been given a free entry and scholarship into the university, the student still has to study, he can’t just assume he will graduate automatically without any effort on his own part, he has to attend lectures, study hard, write exams and pass.
So our walk with God requires ‘work’, we have to cultivate, carry out the goal, and fully complete our salvation; we need to work it for it to work for us. We need to know that it is a walk of Faith, (2 Corinthians 5:7), and not of fear that comes from sight walking, when we pray, we should believe that God will answer and ‘act’ accordingly.
We also ought to walk with self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ.
Most important of all , we must know that we cannot do it by our power, and that it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in us [energizing and creating in us the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
It becomes easier when we have more of God in our lives and less of ‘us’ in us.
Confession
I will not be lazy with regards of my salvation, I have the grace and strength to continuously work it out. Hallelujah!
Romans_1-16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek
Romans_10-10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

Are You Industrious? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye
Memorise:
Love Not Sleep, Lest Thou Come To Poverty; Open Thine Eyes, And Thou Shalt Be Satisfied With Bread. Proverb 20:13
Read: Proverbs 31:10-13 10 Who Can Find A Virtuous Woman? For Her Price Is Far Above Rubies. 11 The Heart Of Her Husband Doth Safely Trust In Her, So That He Shall Have No Need Of Spoil. 12 She Will Do Him Good And Not Evil All The Days Of Her Life. 13 She Seeketh Wool, And Flax, And Worketh Willingly With Her Hands.
Message
In The School Of Life, Those Who Are Prone To Giving Excuses End Up As Failures. Greatness In Life Is Not For The Slothful But For The Diligent. It Is Not For Men Of Theoretical Faith, But For Those Who Can Put Their Faith Into Action. There Are Many People Walking Around Blind To Opportunities. They Always Complain About The Economic Situation Of Their Country, And For This Reason, They Have Refused To Take Their Destinies In Their Own Hands. Nothing Moves Until You Move. There Are Opportunities All Around You, But If You Can’t See Them, They Will Not Translate Into Tangible Results. To Be Industrious Is To Be Hardworking, Conscientious, Diligent And Productive. John 15:16Says:
“Ye Have Not Chosen Me, But I Have Chosen You, And Ordained You, That Ye Should Go And Bring Forth Fruit, And That Your Fruit Should Remain: That Whatsoever Ye Shall Ask Of The Father In My Name, He May Give It You.”
God Expects His Children To Be Productive And Be Creative In Their Thinking. The Fact That You Belong To God Should Make You See Solutions To Issues Where Others Only See Problems. The Spiritual Controls The Physical; This Is Why You Need To Ask God To Open Your Spiritual Eyes. You Need To See The Good Things Coming Your Way From Afar Off, So That As They Come, You Can Tap Into Them. There Are Many People Sitting And Living Around Opportunities Without Exploring Them. There Is No Future For Lazy Fellows.
The Life God Expects From The Industrious Is A Life Of Fruitfulness In Every Area. Fruitfulness Is A Covenant Benefit Of God’s Children. If You Are Still In School, You Need To Be Industrious In Order To Graduate With Excellent Grades. If You Are Serving In God’s Ministry, You Need To Be Industrious, So That You Can Access The Anointing Required For Doing Spiritual Exploits. If You Are Engaged In Business, You Need To Be Hard-Working To Make More Profits And Access Greater Business Opportunities. If You Are In The Corporate World, Being Industrious Will Put You On The Cutting Edge Of Your Career. You Need To Keep Growing. You Need To Develop Yourself For The Glorious Future You See Ahead Of You. You Must Not Be Distracted With Those Things That Will Not Enhance The Quick Actualisation Of Your God-Given Dreams. There Is No Need Losing Your Head Over What You Don’t Have. What You Have Is More Than Enough For Your Breakthrough. Never Be Afraid Of Starting Small. Ask The Lord To Open Your Eyes So That You Can Multiply The Seed In Your Hands To Become A Forest.
Key Point:
Whatever You Don’t Value Can Never Add Value To You.
Proverbs_10-22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it

Attracting Greater Love Of God. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye
Memorise:
For It Became Him, For Whom Are All Things, And By Whom Are All Things, In Bringing Many Sons Unto Glory, To Make The Captain Of Their Salvation Perfect Through Sufferings. Hebrews 2:10
Read: Genesis 22:15-18 15 And The Angel Of The Lord Called Unto Abraham Out Of Heaven The Second Time, 16 And Said, By Myself Have I Sworn, Saith The Lord, For Because Thou Hast Done This Thing, And Hast Not Withheld Thy Son, Thine Only Son: 17That In Blessing I Will Bless Thee, And In Multiplying I Will Multiply Thy Seed As The Stars Of The Heaven, And As The Sand Which Is Upon The Sea Shore; And Thy Seed Shall Possess The Gate Of His Enemies; 18And In Thy Seed Shall All The Nations Of The Earth Be Blessed; Because Thou Hast Obeyed My Voice.
Message
Your Love For God Is Something You Must Prove To Be Genuine. God Is Not Satisfied With Verbal Affirmations Only. He Is Not Satisfied With Promises To Love Surrounded By Procrastination. He Wants To See Your Love For Real; Hence, 1 John 3:18 Says: “My Little Children, Let Us Not Love In Word, Neither In Tongue; But In Deed And In Truth.”
Have You Been Able To Prove Your Love For God Beyond Words? One Beautiful Truth Here Is That Whenever You Demonstrate Your Love For God, It Will Attract Greater Love From Him. This Principle Can Also Be Seen In The Natural World.
If I Smile At You, Unless You Are Angry With Me, You Will Return The Smile. Every Time You Prove To God That You Love Him, He Will Reciprocate By Showing You Greater Love. In Acts 20:35, Apostle Paul Echoed The Words Of Our Lord Jesus Christ That It Is Better To Give Than To Receive. Many People Find It Hard To Understand This. Simply Put, It Is Better To Give Because When You Give, You Automatically Open The Door To Receive More Than What You Gave.
The Act Of Giving Is Subject To The Law Of Harvest; Therefore, Everyone Who Gives Receives Something Much More Than What Was Given, Because The Harvest Is Usually Greater Than The Seed Sown. Hebrews 2:9-10Tells Us That When God Gave His Only Begotten Son, He Brought Many More Sons Into Glory. God Gave One Son And Now Has Millions Of Sons And Daughters From Different Parts Of The World. There Are Some Desires That You May Not Receive Until You Give. There Are Certain Great Requests That May Appear Illusive Until You Give Your Best Seed. For You To Be Able To Receive All Your Requests, You Must First Be Prepared To Pay Any Price By Giving Anything God Wants You To.
What You Are Prepared To Give Determines The Extent To Which God Is Compelled To Give To You In Return. Are You Ready To Pay The Ultimate Sacrifice? Sacrificial Giving Never Goes Unrewarded. After Jesus Laid Down His Life For The Sins Of The World, He Was Rewarded With The Name Above Every Other Name (Philippians 2:8-11). Similarly, After Abraham Demonstrated His Love For God, The Lord Swore To Bless Abraham And His Children Beyond Measure, Promising To Multiply His Generations Like The Sand On The Seashore. What Are You Doing To Prove Your Love For God Today?
Key Point:
Every Act Of Love Towards God Is A Seed Sown On The Best Soil, Which Will Definitely Generate A Great Harvest Of Love.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

I Am Blessed Beyond Measures In Christ Jesus. The Spirit Of Excellence Lives In Me
Jeremiah_17-7-2: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Psalms_34-8: O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Deuteronomy 28:4 “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
Would you want to buy a chair that Jesus made? I would, even if it cost US$1,000 because it would be of superb quality. Whatever Jesus did, He did it with perfect excellence.
And because Christ is in you, the things which you produce will be of exceptional quality too. That includes your children, who will be champions. Deuteronomy 28:4 says, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks”.
God was using terms that the Israelites understood since they were farmers and shepherds. Today, “your ground” is the place of your work. This means that “the produce” of your work shall be of excellent quality.
That is not all. God promises that quantity will always follow quality because Deuteronomy 28:11 says that the Lord will “grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body,”which means that you will have plenty of children, “in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground,” which means that your business will flourish and you will be a leading producer in the area of your specialty.
My friend, your excellence and plenty do not come by your efforts. They come by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid for you to have divine provision—“though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”.(2 Corinthians 8:9)
Jesus was made destitute of all material things at the cross. He had nothing! As He hung on the cross, He watched the Roman soldiers gamble for His robe. His last possession on earth was gambled away. He became poor, so that you could be blessed with the excellent and the plenty!
Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Isaiah_44-3: For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which 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
1-John_1-9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
God Will Not Remember My Sins Or Count Them Against Me, All Because Of Jesus
Romans 4:7–8 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
Some people think that if they were more “right” with God, then He would hear their prayers. For example, they sometimes believe that if they had not quarrelled with their wives or had those bad thoughts earlier in the day, then God would answer their prayers.
God is not like that. He wants you to know beyond any doubt that you can always come to His throne of grace with boldness and have every confidence that you will receive His mercy and grace. (Hebrews 4:16) You see, because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross, you are already right with God. You don’t need to do anything to make yourself more right with God.
In fact, by faith in Jesus, you have received the righteousness of God Himself! (2 Corinthians 5:21) And no matter how many mistakes you make, you will never lose that righteousness because in the first place, God gave it to you apart from your works. (Romans 4:5–6) In other words, God did not impute righteousness to you because you were good, but because you believed in Jesus.
Because of what Jesus has done for you at the cross, all your sins—past, present and future—are forgiven. God will by no means ever remember your sins or count them against you! (Hebrews 8:12, 10:17)
My friend, because Jesus has been punished for your sins, today, God is not counting your sins against you. This means that your sins won’t stop Him from hearing and responding to your prayers. So you can always run into His presence knowing that you can boldly stand in and enjoy His presence and His love.
When you know this truth, it is going to set you free in your relationship with God. You can talk to Him without fear or any sense of condemnation. You can practice His presence and trust that He always hears you. Should something happen at home or at work, you don’t always have to call for your church leaders—you pray and God hears you!
Beloved, you are righteous in Christ and God hears your prayers—all because of Jesus!
Psalms_119-11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Romans_6-14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Thank You Jesus
Ruth 4:15
And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age…
Famine impoverished the life of Naomi, an Israelite. But it was the deaths of her husband and two sons that left her completely destitute. (Ruth 1:1–5)Or so she thought, until Boaz, who was a wealthy and close relative, entered her life.
As her kinsman-redeemer, Boaz married Ruth, Naomi’s widowed daughter-in-law. And through that union, Naomi had a grandson. The birth of her grandson gave her a new lease of life, causing the womenfolk in her village to declare that the restorer of life and the nourisher of her old age had come into her life. (Ruth 4:14–16)
Boaz is a picture of Jesus, our Kinsman-Redeemer. Jesus became our kinsman when He was born into this world as one like us. And He became our Redeemer when He paid with His life and blood at the cross to redeem us.
Jesus gave Himself to us as our restorer of life and nourisher of our old age. When the restorer of life is in our lives, what we have lost can be restored. (Joel 2:25−26) And with the nourisher of our old age in us, our bodies can be gloriously renewed even though we advance in our years.
That is why when Moses died at the age of 120, his eyes were not dim and his natural vigor was not diminished. (Deuteronomy 34:7) Caleb, at 85 years old, could still drive out the giants from the land. God had literally nourished his body and made it strong for war. (Joshua 14:11) Sarah was certainly rejuvenated in her old age by God for she was still desirable to a king at the age of 90. (Genesis 20:1–2) God even renewed her womb. She received strength to conceive seed (Hebrews 11:11), giving birth to Isaac in her old age.
Beloved, God is outside of time and your faith in Him brings you into this timeless zone. There, what the years have stolen will be restored. And even as your years increase, you will not grow weak and weary because the restorer of life and nourisher of your old age is in you!
Job_19-25: For I know that my Redeemer lives
Psalms_19-14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer

Hebrews_11-1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
James_1-3: Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience
My God Is No Respecter Of Persons. If I Act On His Word, Without Doubt, He Will Honour My Faith
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
John 14:12 (KJV)
In our text today, Jesus began by saying: “Verily, verily [. . .]”(John 14:12, KJV). In other words, Jesus is saying, “I am telling you the truth that I know.” Jesus Christ goes on to say, “[. . .] the works that I do shall he do also [. . .]”(John 14:12, KJV). Is Jesus a liar? Certainly not. He cannot lie. He is the truth and everything He speaks is the truth. Beloved, let us not cower like failures and defeated people. Let us not cower as if we are in trouble. We must begin to exercise our God-given authority in Christ.
In the early ’70s, when the revival hit Nigeria, people were doing all kinds of crazy things and getting results. I’m talking about believers. This is why the word spread the way it did. This is how churches spread. The believers were doing whatever they read in the Bible. When they read that Jesus said, “Go and spread the gospel”, they moved from city to city and saw incredible miracles.
I know of a believer who read that Jesus said, “Go to every city and preach the gospel. Heal the sick, cast out the devil, and raise the dead.”The man began to go to every house. After knocking he would ask: “Is there anyone who died here?”He went from street to street till late in the evening when he finally found a place where somebody had died. A little child had died in the morning. When he said he wanted to raise the child the people looked at him and told him that he was crazy. This man was a new believer. He acted on the word of God, and the Lord honoured his faith. After he prayed, the child sneezed and came back to life. Praise God!
Beloved, God is no respecter of persons. If you act on God’s word, without doubt, He will also honour your faith.
Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Romans_10-17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Acts 3:1-6
Matthew_17-20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you
Galatians_3-26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city. Acts 8:4-8
1-John_5-4-3: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith
Galatians_5-22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith

1-Corinthians_14-33: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
In Christ Jesus, I Have Peace With God
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:1-2
People often seek contentment by trying to improve their appearance, physical fitness, financial situation, or social status—or by abusing substances. But such things can’t bring tranquillity of heart or mind. Only a relationship with Jesus leads to true peace.
Prior to salvation, we were slaves to sin and living in opposition to God (Col. 1:21). Our transgressions had formed a barrier of hostility between Him and us, which we were helpless to cross on our own. Without God’s intervention, we could not have found the way of peace. But our heavenly Father provided the perfect solution to our sin problem. He sent His Son to pay for our iniquities and remove the separation that existed between us and Him.
When we trusted Jesus as our Saviour, we were reconciled to the Lord (Rom. 5:10) and no longer at odds with Him. In Christ, we have peace with the Father.
Our triune God has provided everything we need for inner tranquillity. The Father opened the way for us to be in His family. Jesus continually offers His peace so we can experience serenity of mind and heart (John 14:27). And the Holy Spirit cultivates the fruit of peace in our lives (Gal. 5:22).
Galatians_5-22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith
Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever
Psalms_100-4: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
I Am So Quick To Come To God In Times Of Need
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! –(Psalm 107:21)
How like us to forget to give thanks. We are so quick to come to God in times of need. We pray, “Lord, get me out of this” or “Lord intervene” or “Lord, provide for me.”We call on the Lord and then when He answers, we don’t offer up a word of thanks.
Worse yet is when we chalk it up to dumb luck. It reminds me of the guy who was on the roof of a three-story house, nailing down a loose shingle. Suddenly he lost his footing and began to slide. Knowing he was about to fall to his death, he cried out to God, praying, “Help me! Save me! God, don’t let me die! God, do something! Save me!”
Then, as he was nearing the edge of the roof, his belt loop suddenly caught on a nail, which stopped him. This allowed him to grab hold and then climb back up again. Reaching safety, he called out, “It’s okay, God! I got caught on a nail!”
That is how we are sometimes. We say, “Oh, Lord, provide for me. I have this financial need. Lord, You’ve got to come through for me.”
Then the next day, a rebate check for the exact amount arrives in the mail. “It’s okay, Lord,”we say. “The rebate check showed up.”
Do we ever stop and think, however, that God has provided that for us?
Are you giving God the glory for what He has done? We are so quick to ask for His help. But let’s remember to give Him the praise when He comes through. We should be as definite in returning thanks as we are in requesting help. Far too often we call on God in times of crisis, but we don’t follow through with our thanks.
Psalms_113-3: From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised
Psalms_139-14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
God Wants To Bless Me Big Time
Luke 5:4
When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
God wants to bless you—big-time! It was for this reason that He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” The deep is where you will find a whole lot of fish. You won’t find them near the shore in shallow waters. But to launch out into the deep is to move away from the comfort of the shoreline.
My friend, God wants you to break away from your comfort zone and step out in faith to do what He has put in your heart. It may be something simple, but which you have never done before or only dreamt of, like attending a care group. A church member did just that and found love. Today, she is happily married.
Now, our Lord Jesus who said, “Launch out into the deep…” also said, “…let down your nets for a catch.” Notice that He used the plural “nets” and not the singular “net”. Beloved, God wants to give you more than what you need. His dream for you is bigger than anything you can ever dream of. Dream big and God will exceed your dream because He delights in giving you exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
Another church member who was formerly working for someone else had wanted to start his own company. When praying with him, I received a word from the Lord for him to launch out on his own. When he did that, he made a handsome profit at the end of the first month alone! Today, he has more than one company and his businesses are flourishing. God is blessing him beyond his wildest dreams!
Beloved, God wants to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. He did it for Simon who was astonished at the size of the catch of fish. (Luke 5:9) But it was not until Simon launched out into the deep that he ended up with the net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish. (Luke 5:6–7) You, too, will be astonished at your catch when you step out of your comfort zone and launch out into the deep with the Lord!
Proverbs_10-22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it

Acts_1-8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
We Have The Authority In Christ Jesus
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils “.
Mark 16:17 (KJV)
By reason of the authority we have in Christ, every believer can cast out devils. Now the question is, do you run from devils? After you’ve slept at night and had some bad dreams, how do you react? How do you behave? As for demonic activities, you can’t stop them. You can’t stop a bird from perching over your head, but you sure can stop it from building a nest on your head.
As a believer, you have the ability to deal with the activities of the devil. Jesus has already said it. And He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore, you have no business allowing the powers of darkness to intimidate you. It is wrong. If anyone is supposed to quit it is not you. Others should be afraid of us because we have been authorised by Christ to cast out devils. We must understand that we have authority in Christ.
We are not playing religion. It is real and God means exactly what He says: “[. . .] they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”(Mark 16:18, KJV). Do you understand what this means? It is wrong for someone to go to church sick and come back with sickness. Jesus said we will lay hands on the sick. He didn’t say that bishops would lay hands on the sick. He was talking about the believer.
Now, how can you tell whether this thing Jesus is saying is true or not? The only way to find out is to practice it. Go out there and do it. Do it, and don’t wonder in your mind whether it will work or not. The Lord is the One who promised that you could do this. And He does not lie. Do what He said. This is the same thing Mary said to the people in John 2:5, “…….Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it”(KJV). This is how you can partake of the miracles of God. This is how to become a miracle worker. Do what you have read in the Bible.
12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 14:12-14
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Matthew 10:1-8
Ephesians_6-10-1: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil

Pastor T.B Joshua Along With His Engineers Will Be Arraigned Today In Court
Pastor T.B Joshua along with some engineers will be arraigned today November 30th before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja over the death of 116 people in the Synagogue Church of all Nations building collapse which occurred in September 2014.
Joshua and his engineers are expected to be arraigned before Justice Lawal Akapo according to a statement by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Bola Akingbade.
The engineers, Oladele Ogundeji and Akinbela Fatiregun, had last year filed a suit asking a court to stop the police from inviting, arresting or prosecuting them over the death of the 116 victims but a Coroner Inquest set up by the Lagos state government indicted the engineers and recommended them for investigation and prosecution for criminal negligence.

Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Power Of Praise
Psalms_9-1: I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
Text: Act 16:25-26
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Psalms_98-4: Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise .Thank You Jesus
Introduction:
In Psalm 24:1the Bible tells us that, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
He owns everything and He doesn’t need anything from men except thanksgiving and praise. Praise means uplifting the name of God and giving Him all the glory.
Psalms_63-3: Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Why do we need to praise the Lord?
1. Praise brings down the glory of God Psalm 89:1
“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.”
2. It is God’s command.
3. God inhabits the praise of His people. 1 Samuel 2:2
“There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.”
4. Praise provokes direct blessings from God. (Psalm 50:23)
“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God.”
Psalms_113-3: From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised
Psalm 103:1-22
Praise the Lord, my soul!
All my being, praise his holy name!
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and do not forget how kind he is.
3He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
4 He keeps me from the grave
and blesses me with love and mercy.
5He fills my life[b] with good things,
so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.
6The Lord judges in favor of the oppressed
and gives them their rights.
7He revealed his plans to Moses
and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.
8The Lord is merciful and loving,
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
9He does not keep on rebuking;
he is not angry forever.
10He does not punish us as we deserve
or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.
11As high as the sky is above the earth,
so great is his love for those who honor him.
12As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our sins from us.
13 As a father is kind to his children,
so the Lord is kind to those who honor him.
14He knows what we are made of;
he remembers that we are dust.
15As for us, our life is like grass.
We grow and flourish like a wild flower;
16 then the wind blows on it, and it is gone—
no one sees it again.
17 But for those who honor the Lord, his love lasts forever,
and his goodness endures for all generations
18of those who are true to his covenant
and who faithfully obey his commands.
19 The Lord placed his throne in heaven;
he is king over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you strong and mighty angels,
who obey his commands,
who listen to what he says.
21 Praise the Lord, all you heavenly powers,
you servants of his, who do his will!
22 Praise the Lord, all his creatures
in all the places he rules.
Praise the Lord, my soul!
Psalms_139-14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
5. Praise moves God to action Psalm 107:15-16
“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.”
6. Praise brings down God’s awesome presence Revelation 4:11
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
7. Praise makes you get the best from God. Psalm 48:14
“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death”
Psalms_108-3: I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
O Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness!
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His Name!
Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
High on His heart He will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy
prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine;
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
These, though we bring them in trembling and
fearfulness,
He will accept for the Name that is dear;
Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Trust for our trembling and hope for our fear.
Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Ho, My Comrades! See The Signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh.
Chorus “Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”
See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on;
Mighty ones around us falling,
Courage almost gone!
See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s Name we triumph
Over every foe.
Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
Philippians_3-14: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Romans_11-33: h, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
Choose Wisely, Move Quickly, And You Can Enjoy The Best That God Has
John 15:11-12, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”(KJV)
The story that is commonly referred to as the “Prodigal Son,” is a prefect example of why delayed decisions create great stress and potential destruction.
When this young man decided to leave his father, taking his inheritance with him, he had no idea what his future would hold. He found out quickly…good times do not last forever. After running out of money, no friends in sight, and delaying his decision to return home, he suffered unnecessarily.
The father had been waiting on him from the moment he departed. He had been waiting for his return but the young man continued to delay, feeling unworthy and unaccepted. Once he came to the end of himself and rose from his desperate condition, he went to the father and the father was running to meet him.
Restoration manifested and the boy’s life was intact and he had a future. Do not delay righteous decisions. Choose wisely, move quickly, and you can enjoy the best that God has.
2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which 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

Isaiah_55-8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD
God Loves Me, And He Is Always Looking Out For My Eternal Benefit
For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! –(2 Corinthians 4:17)
To give thanks, we must realize as Christians that God is in control of all circumstances that surround our lives, both good and bad.
In 2 Corinthians 4:17–18 we are told, “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
The apostle Paul also wrote, “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love”(Romans 8:38). God loves you, and He is always looking out for your eternal benefit. God is wiser than we are. And if He tells us to not do something, He does so for good reason.
Now, the Devil doesn’t want you to believe that. He would whisper in your ear, “God hates you. God wants to ruin your life. All those rules in the Bible are just there to make life miserable. You Christians serve an oppressive God who doesn’t want you to have any fun.”
What a bunch of nonsense. I’ve lived apart from Christ. I’ve had the so-called fun this world has to offer, and it wasn’t fun at all. I’ve also found that a life with Christ is a life of fulfillment and purpose.
We must realize that God loves us and is always looking out for our eternal benefit, even if what we are presently going through is difficult.
Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

Thank You Lord God Almighty
“So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard me.’” – John 11:41
Jesus had a friend named Lazarus who died of an illness. By the time Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus’s grieving sisters, Mary and Martha, Lazarus had been dead for four days, and his body was sealed in a tomb with a large, heavy stone.
Jesus did something that puzzled and then astonished the mourners. He asked for the stone to be rolled away, and He thanked His Father for hearing His prayer. Then Jesus commanded Lazarus to come out, and he did—wrapped in grave clothes, but alive as the day he was born!
Jesus gave thanks before God raised Lazarus from the dead, but sometimes you and I get things turned around. We pray for those who are in prison, spiritually dead, to turn away from hard-heartedness and find new life, but we only give thanks after we have seen them change. We pray for families who grieve the loss of their loved ones to a prison sentence, but we only give thanks after they are healed and restored. We beseech God for the passage of restorative criminal-justice reform, but we only give thanks after new laws are enacted.
Jesus’ thanksgiving wasn’t just a token of gratitude to God; it prepared the way for miracles that would follow. Today, I challenge us all to follow Jesus’ model. Let’s give thanks before we see the miracles of resurrection, transformation, and healing. Let’s praise Him for hearing us all the time, and then watch with expectation for Him to bring the spiritually dead to new life through His Son.
Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

But Ye Are A Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, An Holy Nation, A Peculiar People; That Ye Should Shew Forth The Praises Of Him Who Hath Called You Out Of Darkness Into His Marvellous Light; 1 Peter 2:9
God Calls Us “A Royal Priesthood”. This Means That We Are Kings As Well As Priests Under The King-Priesthood Of Jesus Christ. This Has Never Happened Before In The History Of God’s People. In The Old Testament, Kings And Priests Were Two Distinct Groups Of People. You Were Either A King Or Priest, But Not Both At The Same Time.
Today, Because We Are In Christ, We Are King-Priests—A Royal Priesthood. This Means That We Have A Double Portion Of Speaking Power Because As Kings, “Where The Word Of A King Is, There Is Power” (Ecclesiastes 8:4), And As Priests, “By Their Word Every Controversy And Every Assault Shall Be Settled”. (Deuteronomy 21:5)
So If You Are A Christian Businessman, You Will Have An Edge Over Worldly Businessmen. What You Say About Your Business Deals Will Come To Pass. And If You Are Falsely Accused, Know That By Your Very Word, Every Controversy And Every Assault Will Be Settled!
And As A King-Priest Parent, When You Bless Your Children, Your Words Have The Power To Set In Motion Supernatural Events Which Will Bring Them Into God’s Abundance And Super Abounding Grace. And There Will Be Such A Courage And Resilience About Them That It Will Empower Them To Win The Fights Of Life!
When The Devil Comes To You And Says That You Will Die Young Because Your Father And Grandfather Died Young, Or That You Will Never Be Successful Because You Are Not Well-Educated, You Must Remember That The Devil Is Neither A King Nor A Priest. There Is No Power In His Words. But There Is Power In Yours Because You Are A King-Priest In Christ!
So Instead Of Agreeing With Him, Believe And Declare, “I Will Not Die Young. With Long Life He Will Satisfy Me And Show Me His Salvation!” Say, “The Lord Will Make My Way Prosperous And Give Me Good Success!” Use Your Double Portion Of Speaking Power And See These Blessings Come To Pass!
Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

God Did Not Save You To Be A Disgrace
“Be Careful For Nothing; But In Everything By Prayer And Supplication With Thanksgiving Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God.”
Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
The Children Of Israel Were Supernaturally Brought Out Of Egypt By The Mighty And Outstretched Hand Of God. God Is Always Doing Something Even If He Is Not Speaking. When Heaven Appears To Be Brass And The Earth Iron, There Is Still Something Moving In The Circumstances Of Your Life. He Is Not Leaving You, For He Said, “I Will Not Leave You Or Forsake You.” He Is With You Until The End Of The World. God Always Brings You Out To Bring You In. He Didn’t Save You To Be A Disgrace. He Didn’t Save You So That You Would Become A Question Mark Or A Reproach. He Did Not Save You For People To Mock You. God Has Prepared A Great Destiny For You; You Will Fulfil It. Do Not Worry Even If It Seems Like Things Are Not Working. God Can Change Where You Are Overnight! Something Is About To Happen In Your Life. The Beauty Of It Is That When God Gets To Your Case A Miracle Will Take Place. He Will Hasten To Restore The Wasted Years. Your Salvation Will Not End Without You Fulfilling Your Destiny.
Jesus, Despite The Raging Of The Storm, Was Not Anxious. Everything Jesus Did Was A Lesson In And Of Itself. Remember That He Stripped Himself Of The Honour And Glory To Be Totally Human. He Slept While His Disciples Were Anxious. You Should Sleep, Because You Can’t Work Out Anything By Yourself. Let God Do The Work.
He Knows What You Are Going Through; Even Our High Priests Can Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities And Can Be Tempted Like We Are. This Is Why Jesus Came. He Came Down To Sit Where You Sit So That He Would Be Qualified To Die On Your Behalf. He Couldn’t Have Stayed Comfortably In Heaven And Told Us How To Overcome Temptation, Anxiety, And Pressure In An Effective Manner. You Can’t Understand How Others Feel Until You Sit Where They Do. So He Came And Sat Where We Sat And Felt What We Felt.
Enough Of The Anxiety! Your Hands Cannot Be Where God’s Hands Are At The Same Time. He’ll Never Share His Glory With Another. Your Part Is To Carry Out Every Instruction He Gives You. Leave Everything In His Hands.
Mark 4:36-41
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Hebrews_13-5:Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Acts_1-8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Power Of God. Dunamis
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”
Acts 1:8
Jesus Said You Shall Receive Power After The Holy Ghost Is Come Upon You. In The Greek Rendering, The Word Translated “Power” Is ‘Dunamis’. So What Jesus Actually Said Was “And You Shall Receive Dunamis After That The Holy Ghost Is Come Upon You.” What Is Dunamis? It’s A Special Kind Of Power. It’s Inherent Power That Functions Like A Dynamo. The Word “Dynamo” Comes From A Greek Word “Dunamis” That’s Where The English Word “Dynamite” A Powerful Explosive, Is Derived From As Well. Knowing How A Dynamo Functions Will Help Us Understand What Dunamis Is. That Will In Turn Tell Us What Jesus Meant When He Said, “Ye Shall Receive Dunamis.”
A Dynamo Is A Special Kind Of Machine. You Get It Started Mechanically, Either By Turning A Knob Or Pushing A Button. When It Starts, It Produces Electrical Power And Then Converts Some Of That Electrical Power Back Into Mechanical Power To Cause The Machine To Go On And Produce More Electrical Power. It Doesn’t Need Help From Anywhere; It’s A Self-Converter! It Has In-Built Ability To Convert Mechanical Power To Electrical Power And Vice Versa. It Just Keep Going On Without Any External Help. So When Jesus Said, “You Shall Receive Dunamis” He Meant, “You Shall Receive Inherent Power Of God That Functions Like Dynamo!” That’s What You Got When You Receive The Holy Spirit. You Receive The Inherent Dynamic Ability Of God To Cause Changes. That Power Is Independent Of Any Other Power But God.
This Power Resides In You Today! You May Have Been Told That You Were Born An Asthmatic; It Doesn’t Make Any Difference Now, Because You Can Change It! Maybe You Were Born With A Deformed Heart, It Doesn’t Matter Anymore. Now That You’re Born Again And You Have The Holy Spirit In You, You Can Change Anything As You Activate That Power Within You.
Confession:
I Have Within Me The Power Of The Most High God! I Have The Inherent Dynamic Ability To Cause Changes. I Declare That I Am Able To Change Every Negative Situation, Because I Recognize The Inherent Power Of God That’s At Work In Me; I Am Full Of God’s Might And The Excellency Of This Power Is Indeed Of God!
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:7
But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3:8

I Want To Be Like Jesus.
So Lowly And So Meek
For No One Marked An Angry Word,
That At Ever Heard Him Speak.
I Want To Be Like Jesus,
So Frequently In Prayer:
Alone Up The Mountain Top,

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
I Never, Never Find
That He, Though Persecuted Was
To Any One Unkind.
I Want To Be Like Jesus,
Engaged In Doing Good;
So That Of Me It May Be Said
‘He Hath Done What He Could,”
I Want To Be Like Jesus,
Who Sweetly Said To All,
“Let Little Children Come To Me;”
I Would Obey The Call.

And Make Me Like To Thee. Amen!

Whither Ho Doth Lead,

Tender Is His Tone;
None But He Shall Guide Us;

For The Sheep He Bled;
Every Lamb Is Sprinkled
With The Blood He Shed:
Then On Each He Setteth
His Own Secret Sign:
‘They That Have My Spirit,
‘These,” Saith He, ‘Are Mine.”
Jesus Is Our Shepherd;
Guarded By His Arm,

None Can Do Us Harm:

And Dangers Must Be Passed
But Those Who Boldly Walk Therein
Will Get To Heaven At Last.
How Shall An Infant Pilgrim
Dare
This Dangerous Path To Tread?
For On The Way’s Many Asnare
For Youthful Travellers Spread
While The Broad Road, Where Thousand Go,
Lies Near And Opens Fair;
And Many Turn Aside, I Know.
To Walk With Sinners There.
But Lest My Feeble Steps Should Slide.
Or Wander From Thy Way,
Lord, Condescend To Be My Guide,
And I Shall Never Stray.
Then I May Go Without Alarm
And Trust His Word OF Old
“The Lambs, He’ll Gather With His Arm,
And Lead Them To The Fold,”
Thus I May Safely Venture Through
Beneath My Shepherd’s Care;
And Keep The Gate Of Heaven In View,
Till I Shall Enter There.

The God Of Heaven So Near And
Kind.
If God Would Speak To Me,
And Say He Is My Friend,
How Happy I Should Be
Oh How Would I Attend?
The Smallest Sin I Then Should
Fear
If God Almighty Were So Near.
And Does He Never Speak?
Oh, Yes, For In His Word
He Bids Me Come And Seek
The God That Samuel Heard,
In Almost Every Page I See
The God Of Samuel Calls To Me.
And I Beneath His Care,
May Safely Rest My Head;
I Know That God Is There
To Guard My Humble Bed,
And Every Sin I Well May Fear
Since God Almighty Is So – Near.
Like Samuel Let Me Say
Whenever I Read Thy Word,
Speak, Lord, I Would Obey
The Voice That I Have Heard,
And When I In Thy House Appear
Speak For Thy Servant Waits To Hear. Amen!

Jesus, Who Calledst Little Ones To Thee.
To Thee I Come;
O Take My Hand In Thine. And Speak To Me;
And Lead Me Home;
Lest From The Path Of Life My Feet Should Stray
And Satan Prowling Make Thy Lamb His Prey.
I Love To Think That Thou With Holy Feet
My Path Hast Trod,
Along Life’s Common Lanes And Dusty Street
Hast Walked With God,
On Mary’s Bosom Drawn A Baby’s Breath,
And Served Thy Parents Dear At Nazareth.
O Gentle Jesus, Make This Heart Of Mine,
So Full Of Sin,
As Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, As Thine
And Dwell Therein,
Then God My Father, I Like Thee,
Shall Know,
And Grow In Wisdom As In
Strength I Grow.
To Thee, My Saviour, Then
With Morning Light
Glad Songs I’ll Raise,
My Saddest Hours And Darkest Shall Be Bright.
With Silent Praise;
And Should My Work Or Play My Thoughts Employ,
Thy Will Shall Be My Law, Thy Love My Joy. Amen!

Lo! Such The Child Whose Early Feet
The Paths Of Peace Have Trod,
Whose Secret Heart With Influence Sweet
Is Upward Drawn To God.

The Lily Must Decay,
The Rose That Blooms Beneath The Hill

Luke_2-11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Once In Royal David’s City.
Stood A Lowly Cattle-Shed.
Where A Mother Laid Her Baby
In A Manger For His Bed
Mary Was That Mother Mild,
Jesus Christ Her Little Child.
He Came Down To Earth From Heaven
Who Is God And Lord Of All.
And His Shelter Was A Stable.
And His Cradle Was A Stall.
With The Poor, And Mean, And Lowly
Lived On Earth Our Saviour Holy.
And Through All His Wondrous Childhood
He Would Honour And Obey
Love, And Watch The Lowly Maiden
In Whose Gentle Arms He Lay
Christian Children All Must Be
Mild, Obedient, Good As He.
For He Is Our Childhoods Pattern:
Day By Day Like Us He Grew;
He Was Little, Weak, And Helpless;
Tears And Smiles Like Us He Knew
And He Feeleth For Our Sadness,
And He Shareth In Our Gladness.
And Our Eyes At Last Shall See
Him,
Through His Own Redeeming
Love;
For That Child So Dear And Gentle
Is Our Lord In Heaven Above;
And He Leads His Children On
To The Place Where He Is Gone.
Not In That Poor Lowly Stable,
With The Oxen Standing By,
We Shall See Him; But In Heaven.
Set At God’s Right Hand On High:
‘When Like Stars His Children Crowned
All In White Shall Wait Around. Amen!

Romans_5-8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
It Is A Thing Most Wonderful
Almost Too Wonderful To Be,
That God’s Own Son Should
Come From Heaven
And Die To Save A Child Like Me.
And Yet I Know That It Is True;
He Came To This Poor World Below,
And Wept And Toiled And
Mourned And Died,
Only Because He Loved Us So.
I Cannot Tell How He Could Love
A Child So Weak And Full Of Sin;
His Love Must Be Most
Wonderful,
If He Could Die My Love To Win.
It Is Most Wonderful To Know
His Love For Me So Free And Sure;
But ‘Tis More Wonderful To See
My Love For Him So Faint And
Poor.
And Yet I Want To Love Thee,
Lord:
Oh, Light The Flame Within My Heart,
And I Will Love Thee More And More
Until I See Thee As Thou Art. Amen!

Message
Everyone On Earth Is Indebted To The Almighty God. Irrespective Of Your Many Needs That Are Yet To Be Met, You Must Still Remember That The Breath Of Life You Have Is Not A Function Of Your Power. If You Can Think Deeply Within You, And Look At All That Is Happening Around You, You Will Give Ceaseless Praise To God. The Reason Why Some People Do Not Think They Should Thank God Is Because They Are Looking At Those Things They Do Not Yet Have, But They Forget To Look At Those Things They Have Right Now. Some Would Even Say They Have Nothing. Such People Are Unmindful Of The Fact That It Is With Life That Things Are Produced, And When You Have Life You Have All Things. The Scripture In Psalm 68:19 Says:
“Blessed Be The Lord, Who Daily Loadeth Us With Benefits, Even The God Of Our Salvation.”
The Implication Of This Is That There Is Nothing We Need That The Lord Has Not Provided For. What To Eat, What To Drink, Where To Live, The Car To Drive, The Person To Marry Are All Examples Of His Benefits.
When The Psalmist Followed The Multitude Into God’s House, He Went With Joy Without Being Forced (Psalms 42:4). Why Then Do We Wait For People To Motivate Us To Praise God? Why Do We Behave As If There Is Nothing In Our Life To Thank God For? The Mercy Of The Lord Towards Us Is Everlasting (Psalms 100:5). With This Assurance, We Should Be Singing And Praising His Name. You Are To Bless The Lord For All He Has Done In The Past, All He Is Doing In The Present And All He Is Yet To Do. As You Do This, He Is Committed To Doing More. One Of The Greatest Lessons On Gratitude I Learnt Was From My Mother. Any Time My Mother Wanted To Collect My School Fees From My Father, She Would Draw Up A Strategy Of Praising And Eulogising My Father.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
She Would Call Him Great Names He Did Not Bear. She Would Mention Great Feats And Achievements Far Above His Profile And Credit Him With Them. Even Before She Was Done, He Would Give Her What She Wanted. This Strategy Worked Every Time. If This Can Work For A Mortal Man Full Of Limitations, How Much More The Immortal God Who Has No Limitations? For All The Blessings And Protection Of The Almighty God, You Can Never Praise Him Enough. When You Praise God Adequately And Magnify His Various Names, He Is Moved, And Once God Moves On Your Behalf, You Can Expect The Miraculous. You Can Also Expect Him To Ambush Your Enemies And Open Doors In All Aspects Of Your Life.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God, Prayer Works, God Answers Prayers
Action Point:
Praise The Lord That You Are Alive.
Ephesians_5-20: Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Effective Tracking Device. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye
Ephesians_3-20: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us
Memorise:
Ask, And It Shall Be Given You; Seek, And Ye Shall Find; Knock, And It Shall Be Opened Unto You: Matthew 7:7
Read: Daniel 10:10-14 10 And, Behold, An Hand Touched Me, Which Set Me Upon My Knees And Upon The Palms Of My Hands. 11And He Said Unto Me, O Daniel, A Man Greatly Beloved, Understand The Words That I Speak Unto Thee, And Stand Upright: For Unto Thee Am I Now Sent. And When He Had Spoken This Word Unto Me, I Stood Trembling. 12 Then Said He Unto Me, Fear Not, Daniel: For From The First Day That Thou Didst Set Thine Heart To Understand, And To Chasten Thyself Before Thy God, Thy Words Were Heard, And I Am Come For Thy Words. 13 But The Prince Of The Kingdom Of Persia Withstood Me One And Twenty Days: But, Lo, Michael, One Of The Chief Princes, Came To Help Me; And I Remained There With The Kings Of Persia. 14Now I Am Come To Make Thee Understand What Shall Befall Thy People In The Latter Days: For Yet The Vision Is For Many Days.
Message
From The Experience Of Daniel In Our Bible Reading Today, We Understand That Praying Effectively Makes It Impossible For Your Blessings To Pass You By. When You Pray, Your Blessings Are Branded With Your Name, And As You Continue In Prayer, A Heavenly Courier Is Sent With Your Package. When You Pray Some More, The Courier Will Deliver The Package To You. Do You Know That There Are Blessings Which Were Released From Heaven But Which Never Got To Their Owners? One Likely Way Of Losing Your Blessing Is To Stop Praying About Them. If You Stop, By The Time They Are Being Sent, They Could Get Missing In Transit. So Many Blessings Have Been Lost Due To A Lack Of Follow-Up Prayers.
Let Us Look At Daniel’s Experience. He Had A Burden To Unravel A Particular Mystery; So He Set Out To Fast And Seek God’s Face On The Matter. A Day Passed, A Week Passed, And Another Week Passed, But He Kept On Praying. It Was After Three Weeks That The Answer Came. The Angel Who Brought The Answer Told Him That From The Day The Request Was Made, It Was Heard And An Answer Was Sent, But Certain Forces Of Darkness Delayed Him Until Angel Michael Came To Assist Him. This Tells Us That The Battles In Heavenly Places Are Real. No Wonder Ephesians 6:12 Says: “For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World, Against Spiritual Wickedness In High Places.”
These Forces Exist And They Are Out To Delay Or Deny You Your Blessings. If You Lose Faith And Stop Praying, The Enemy Might Divert Them.
It Is One Thing To Pray And Have The Answer Released, But It Is Another Thing To Receive The Answer. Today, It Is Possible To Send Something By Post And Track Its Movement From Country To Country Up To Its Destination Through The Internet. Prayer Is The Spiritual Tracking Device You Need To Track Your Blessing From Heaven Until It Arrives In Your Hands.Once You Start Praying On A Particular Issue, Don’t Stop. Keep On Praying Until The Answer Gets To You. In Addition, It Is Necessary To Specifically Pray Against Every Spiritual Agent Of Hindrance. Paralyse Every Diversionary Agent Of Darkness. Pray Against Blessing Thieves And Hijackers, And Envelope Your Blessing In The Blood Of Jesus.
Key Point:
Prayer Is Like A Hook With A Rope Tied; With It You Can Catch Your Blessing, And Pull It Until It Gets To You.

God Has A Unique Plan For Your Life. In All That You Do, Never Let This Escape Your Mind. Note However That There Is A Difference Between Desire And Purpose. There Is Also A Difference Between AmbitionAnd Purpose. Your Joy Can Only Be Full When You Find Your Purpose In Life. Until You Get To This Point, Life Will Be Such A Struggle, Full Of Stress And Pressures. It Is Good To Have Ambition, But It Is Better To Seek God’s Purpose For Your Life, And Having Known It, Make That Your Life’s Ambition. You Will Be Happier For It.
Moreover, Having Carved Out His Purpose For Your Life, God Gives You The GiftsAnd AbilitiesThat Will Enable You Fulfil That Purpose. God’s Calling On Your Life Is In Line With His Divine Purpose. Where A Conflict Exists Between God’s Plan For Your Life And Your Own Plans, There Will Always Be Problems. For Instance, If God Wants You To Be A Missionary In A Particular Country And You Plan To Be A Doctor In Another Part Of The World, There Will Be Great Conflict. If You Fail To Yield To His Will, You Will Be Disrupting His Plan. It Is Either A Person Is Brought To A Halt Over His Personal Ambition That Is Making God’s Will Secondary, Or God Will Alter His Plan For That Person By Moving Someone Else Into His Place. If Your Pursuit Runs Contrary To God’s Plan For Your Life, God Expects You To Do Something Fast.
When Peter’s Fishing Business Got In God’s Way, He Was Called Out Of Traditional Fishing Into Fishing For Men. As We Speak, There Are Several People Who Refuse To Yield To God Over His Plan For Their Lives. They Have Continued To Struggle With God’s Will. Resisting God’s Will Regarding His Plan For Your Life Can Be Frustrating. It Can Lead To Labouring Without Commensurate Harvest, Afflictions, Disappointments, Great Loss Of Valuables And Much More. If You Remain Adamant After Repeated Attempts To Bring You Back In Line, God May Have To Replace You. When God Replaces A Person, He Or She Is Left Alone To Pursue His Or Her Ambitions, Which Will Lead Nowhere. Are You Struggling With God? Is God Calling You Into His Service Or Into Full-Time Ministry And You Are Resisting? Stop Resisting Him Today!
Colossians_3-12: Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering
Prayer Point:
Father, I Yield My Life To You Today; Make Out Of My Life What You Desire For It.

Because Holiness Is The Nature Of God, Living A Holy Life Makes You A Partner With God In His Work. 2 Corinthians 6:1Says: “We Then, As Workers Together With Him, Beseech You Also That Ye Receive Not The Grace Of God In Vain.”
What A Great Privilege This Is! When You Have The Same Nature As God, He Will Not Look At Your Limitations; Rather, He Will Lift You Up So That He Can Relate With You. God Wants To Partner With You. He Wants To Be Able To Seek Your Opinion On Issues; Not Because He Does Not Know What To Do, But Just To Make You Know That You Count Before Him (John 6:5-6). Living A Holy Life Makes You Count Before God, And It Gives You Relevance Before Him (Genesis 18:17-19).
Moreover, Holiness Empowers You To Plead Your Cause Before God. As A Sinner, You Cannot Stand Before God, Because Your Sins Have Disqualified You To Begin With. But When You Approach Jesus And Accept Him As Your Saviour, His Blood Washes You Clean And He Stands As Your Lawyer To Plead Your Cause (1 John 2:1). Thereafter, As You Imbibe His Holiness And Allow His Nature To Express Itself Through You, You Are Empowered To Plead Your Own Cause Before God (Hebrews 4:16). Holiness Also Qualifies You To Plead For Others. Are You Living A Holy Life? How Well Are You Pleading Your Cause And That Of Others Before Heaven’s Court?
Similarly, Living A Holy Life Makes You God’s Sharp Battle Axe: You Become A Fighting Instrument In His Hands (Jeremiah 51:20). A Life Of Holiness Is A Declaration To The Kingdom Of Darkness That You Are On God’s Side Permanently. You Therefore Become A Very Useful Instrument In God’s Hands. Isaiah 41:15Says: “Behold, I Will Make Thee A New Sharp Threshing Instrument Having Teeth; Thou Shalt Thresh The Mountains; And Beat Them Small, And Shalt Make The Hills As Chaff.”
One Of My Sons Once Had A Dream Where He Saw His Hands Being Exchanged With Iron Hands. Even Though He Tried To Resist What The Angels Were Doing, He Could Not Stop Them. Thereafter, The Lord Used Him Mightily Against The Kingdom Of Satan And Is Still Using Him Today. The More You Live A Life Of Holiness, The More Likely It Is That God Will Use You To Do Greater Things And To Fight Bigger Battles. Are You Living A Holy Life?

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O
Children Of God Who Are Not Sensitive In These Last Days Will Have Themselves To Blame. You Have To Be Prayerful, Careful And Sensitive To The Leading Of The Holy Spirit, Particularly Because There Are Mixed Multitudes All Around The Church Today. There Are Even Churches That Belong To Satan But Have The Appearance Of Belonging To Jesus Christ. There Are Also Demonic Agents Prowling Around And Deceiving People. If You Are Not Very Watchful, You Will Become One Of Their Victims. That Will Not Be Your Portion In Jesus’ Name. Although God Wants His Children To Hear From Him And Get His Best, One Factor Inhibiting This Is The Fact That They Have Idols In Their Hearts Which Prevent Them From Hearing From Him Clearly. You Can Be Seeking God’s Face For Direction But Also Be Hoarding Idols In Your Heart. If You Really Want The Almighty God To Guide You, You Have To Eradicate All Forms Of Idols From Your Life.
There Are Many Singles In The Body Of Christ Today Who Are Not Yet Married Even Though They Are Of Age. Some Of Them Have Allowed Idols In Their Hearts For So Long A Time That They Have Not Been Able To Look In The Direction God Is Leading Them To. For A User Of This Devotional Trusting God For A Marriage Partner, The Lord Will Direct Your Steps In Jesus’ Name. You Can Never Get Anything Better Than What God Has In Store For You. You Will Observe That After The Lord Made Eve Out Of Adam, Adam Had No Difficulty Recognising His Wife (Genesis 2:22-23). Once Your Spirit Man Is Highly Sensitive, You Will Always Receive God’s Signal On The Right Thing To Do Each Time (Isaiah 42:16).
There Are Many Homes Experiencing Frustration Today. It Is Because They Have Not Allowed The Voice Of God To Speak To Them. God Has Spoken, But They Have All Along Been Listening To The Idols In Their Heart. Not All That Glitters Is Gold. Not All Open Doors Are Opened By God. If You Really Want The Blessings Of God In Your Life And Home, You Have To Eradicate The Voices Of All The Idols In Your Heart. Even If You Are Totally Blind, As Long As You Depend On God For Direction, His Promises For Your Life Will Lead You To Where You Will Find Rest For Your Soul. I Prophesy Into Your Life That You Will Not Miss Your Way In Jesus’ Name. Wherever God Is Taking You, You Can Rest Assured That You Are Heading For A Glorious Destiny. He Will Lead You So Clearly That You Will Be So Sure Of Where You Are Going. He Will Lead You So Convincingly That You Can Guarantee The Outcome Of Your Choice Even Before You Embark On It. There Is Nothing As Safe As Allowing God To Direct You In Every Sphere Of Life. If You Hear Well From Him, You Will End Well.

Psalms_27-14: Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD
After you have suffered a major loss, or when everything around you appears gloomy and bleak, turn your focus on the Lord. When those you look up to fail you, look up to God. He is the only One who will never fail you. Have your friends in the Christian race turned their backs on God? Are you becoming discouraged and wondering whether to continue with Christ or to join your backslidden friends? Focus on Christ and He will sustain you. Has your pastor done something so painful to you, to the extent that you are thinking of either leaving the church or going back into the world? Look up to Jesus! Remember, the Christian race accommodates everyone who has repented, but it is still a very personal race. If your friend or pastor chooses to go to Hell, must you go with them? No! Never be discouraged from doing the work that God has assigned to you, irrespective of contrary pressures from human and demonic forces.
Several years ago, just after I became a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, there was a misunderstanding among the ministers of the church. Some people I highly respected disappointed me, so much so that I became depressed and discouraged. As I returned from the headquarters of the church at Ebute Metta, to the University of Lagos where I was lecturing, a traffic warden stopped my car at St. Agnes junction. While I was waiting, I said to myself, “If this is what they call the gospel, and it is not taking me forward, then I will go back to where I am coming from.”Almost immediately, the Lord spoke to me saying “Son, why are you so sad?”My reply was “Lord, You know all things. You saw all that happened.”Then He said “True, this fellow disappointed you, but have I ever disappointed you?”With that word, courage, hope and joy flooded my heart, and I moved from the valley to the mountain top. I went my way, singing “I have a God who never fails“. God is your greatest antidote to discouragement. Look up to Him and He will send you the right words that will terminate sorrow and discouragement in you. Are you disheartened? Feed on God’s word, remember His promises and recall how He has answered your prayers in the past. After doing all these, place your hope and trust in Him.
Psalms_27-14: Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD
Action Point
When God encourages you, no discouragement can hold you back. Ask for His encouragement today.
Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

The Majesty Of His Person. Sermon and Prayer Points by Pastor E A Adeboye
Hebrews_12-2: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God
Memorise
Hebrews_3-14: For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end
Read: Hebrews 1:1-9 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

The majesty of the person of our Lord Jesus Christ is revealed in today’s Bible reading. Furthermore, Isaiah 9:6 says this about Him: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
If you desire to have all-round peace, all you need to do is to make peace with the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will give you peace in any area of life where you are currently facing a storm. No wonder a songwriter wrote these lyrics: “Take the name of Jesus with you, child of sorrow and of woe, it will joy and comfort give you, take it wherever you go.”Furthermore, do you know that Jesus elevates anyone who bears His Name? He lifts them up from the dunghill or miry clay and sets their feet on solid rock to keep them stable and secure. Do you need to move up to your next level? John 12:32 says if you give Jesus His rightful place in your life by lifting Him up, He will surely lift you and those around you higher. Jesus can give you victory in any battle you are facing; He can also give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30). Have you been struggling for so long to enter your rest in a particular area without success? Jesus will give you rest today. Your fruitless struggle ceases from today! Put your trust in His person, and it shall be well with you.
Matthew_11-29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Prayer Point
Father, let the majesty of Jesus be manifested in every area of my life from today onwards.
2-Corinthians_12-9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

Personal relationship with God. What’s stopping you from accepting God’s free gift of eternal life right now?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. —John 1:1
What does “the Word was God” in today’s verse mean? It means “face to face with God.” It describes the most intimate kind of communion and union.
Matthew_1-21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins
Think about that for a moment. Jesus left heaven to be born in a stable… to walk among men on the dirty streets of Galilee. He lived and died and rose again as a human being.
Isn’t it amazing that God would walk among us? But why would He do this?
He did it because He loves you and me… and He wants you and me to come into a personal relationship with Him. But because we are separated from God by our sin, we can’t know God or experience God or get near to God in His absolute holiness. So God came near. He came down in the person of Jesus Christ and paid the price for our sin by dying on the cross.
So let me ask you, how have you responded to Jesus Christ in your life?
If you’ve accepted Him as your personal Lord and Savior, I praise God that you’ve made the best decision you will ever make. But if you haven’t made this decision, what’s stopping you from accepting God’s free gift of eternal life right now?
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

Child of God, don’t seek God occasionally, seek Him continually. May your life please God now and always
Hebrews_11-6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him
“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
You will be surprised to know how people come to church, high-five one another, sing, clap, lift up holy hands in worship and walk away not pleasing God. It doesn’t mean they are not children of God, but they are not pleasing God. So God cannot elevate them to the secluded and privileged position of being a friend. It is not every Christian that is a friend of God but you can chose to be one today by obeying His word always, thereby pleasing Him. Today I release upon you the grace to believe every word of God, you receive and to obey them. May your life please God now and always.
Romans_1-16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek

When I was a teenager, I was taught that if I wanted to resist the devil, I had to rebuke him. So whenever an evil thought came to my mind or I was tempted, I found myself saying, “I resist you, devil, in Jesus’ name! I bind you, devil! Go away from me, devil! I rebuke you in Jesus’ name!”
James_4-7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you
This went on until God showed me one day that though I had “resisted” the devil, I had spent more time talking to him than to God! I was more conscious of the devil than of God throughout the day.
Proverbs_30-5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him
Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
But the truth is that the devil cannot enforce anything in your life if he cannot persuade your heart. And your heart cannot be persuaded if it is “Steadfast In The Faith”, if it is established in righteousness. God says that once you are established in righteousness, “You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you”. (Isaiah 54:14)
Romans_1-17: For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
So now that my heart is established in righteousness, I can boldly declare, “Yes, I may have these problems in my life, but I am not guilty in God’s eyes. I am justified in God’s eyes by faith because of what Christ has done. I am righteous by Jesus’ blood!”
Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
My Love! That is how you resist the devil and become undevourable!
John_3-17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

2.When you do not enjoy reading and studying the word of God as before. Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
3. When you do notevangeliseas before. Mark 16:15:
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
4.When youfind it easy to quitchurch meetings. Hebrews 10:25:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Psalms_51-11: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
CONCLUSION
Psalms_51-12: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
The above points are danger signals to you that you need to trace your way back to God. Repent and go back to your first love.

So when he attacks you by saying, “Look at that small sum in your bank account! How are you going to pay the bills?” stand your ground. Declare, “I am not trying to be rich. I am already blessed in Christ!” It doesn’t matter how much you have in the bank. You are richly supplied because you are in Christ. And as the need arises, the supply will be there if you believe it.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
It is the same with healing. The devil will try to attack you with symptoms in your body. He will try to put pain in your body, and make you feel weak here and there, so that you think that you are still sick. He is trying to make you believe that you don’t have your healing. That is the time to be conscious of Jesus’ finished work and declare, “I am not trying to get healed, I am healed! I am standing on the victory ground which Jesus has given me!”

When a king beckons to you, it means you have caught his attention. In Esther 5:1-3, when King Ahasuerus saw Esther standing in the inner courts of the palace, he immediately raised his sceptre towards her. By so doing, he was inviting her to come nearer. When God beckons to you, you can be assured that things are definitely taking a new turn from that moment. This was the experience of Moses. For 40 years, Moses was at the back side of the desert looking after his father-in-law’s sheep; but one day, this well-read and once very promising heir to the throne of Egypt (now turned shepherd boy) encountered the burning bush which was not consumed. He heard God beckon to Him saying “Moses, Moses”. From that very moment, his story was never the same.
Psalms_5-12-1: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
In 1969, while doing my postgraduate programme in Mathematics, a friend of mine was doing his research on the coastlines of Lagos, and so he needed to visit all the coastlines and take samples from them. He decided to go to Ebute Metta, Lagos, for some samples. Because we were friends and I was available, I accompanied him. At Ebute Metta, we saw a very large signboard which read “The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)”. Looking to see what the big signboard was referring to, we only saw a very little church. I turned to my friend and said “The big name killed a small dog!” We laughed and left. Four years later, somebody invited me to the same RCCG for the first time, saying “There is a small church at Ebute Metta whereGod is performing miracles.” I told him I had seen that church before – the small church with the big signboard”. Imagine what God is doing today after beckoning to me. May you heed God’s beckoning in Jesus’ Name.
Lamentations_3-22: It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Jeremiah_32-17-2: 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:
Message
Our God is awesome, and His ways are beyond finding out. Nobody can box God into a pattern or regimen. He can use anything He chooses to achieve His purpose on earth. God uses those who are lowly placed, and He also uses the rich. Luke 8:1-3 tells of some wealthy women who ministered to Jesus from their resources. Mary Magdalene and other women blessed by the Lord resolved to serve Him with the resources they had. Are you rich or wealthy? Do you serve the Lord with your substance? Experience has shown that those who have little are the ones who dare to give their all to God.
Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
This was the case with the widow who dropped her mites (Mark 12:41-44). Usually, the rich only give a fraction of what they have because they believe they are giving something big. However, God does not judge by size, He judges by proportion. Hence, the poor can give more than the rich in the sight of God, even if what they give is not as much as what the rich have given in quantity. Justifying why the widow’s gift was more than what the rich gave, Jesus in Mark 12:44 said: “For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
Psalms_100-4: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Moreover, not only can God use humans to accomplish His purpose, He can also use animals. In 1 Kings 17:2-6, God sent ravens to deliver food to His servant, and they obeyed. We have equally seen Him use birds too. When we began to build the Redemption Camp in those early years, there were some trees that provided shade which I instructed the workers to preserve. Some little birds came in their hundreds of thousands to perch on these trees. Whenever they descended on them, there would be no leaves left on the trees the following day. They were also very noisy. I wondered if they were demonic birds. Some of my children who had guns would enter their midst and fire some shots; yet, they refused to go away. Some birds were hit by the fired bullets and dropped dead, but the rest stayed on. At some point, it appeared the more they were killed, the more they multiplied! The situation became unbearable.
Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
I therefore called on God to help us one morning. That evening, several eagles came and began to eat them up. Within hours, there was not a single one of them left. God has not stopped using birds! If He needs to send birds to meet your needs, He will do so; but you need to show Him that you can serve Him with all He has given to you. How faithfully have you served God? To what extent can you risk your life and all He has given to you for His service?
Key Point
God can mobilise all of His resources to satisfy the needs of those who can give Him their all.

Peace Through His Presence. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye
Isaiah_9-6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Memorise
Romans_5-1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
John_14-27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid
Exodus_33-14-2: And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Message
The assurance that God is on the side of the righteous and not against them, gives peace to their life. It is commonly said that “One with God is majority.” Even if the whole world is against you, as long as you know that God is on your side, you will not be afraid. As a child of God, because God has justified and cleansed you, there is now peace between you and Him (Romans 5:1). The rift of separation is gone! Condemnation is also gone! Praise God! As long as God stands by you, nobody can withstand you (Romans 8:31). If God is for you, it means that He loves you, and if He loves you, then you are more than a conqueror. If God is for you, He will personally take over the battles of your life. As you simply praise and worship Him, He will arise and engage your enemies in battle. You can be certain He will bring the victory back to you. While facing the Red Sea with no visible way to cross it, the children of Israel suddenly had the Egyptian army rushing furiously towards them. Faced with this impossible situation, Moses said this to them in Exodus 14:14: “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end
When you have the Commander-in-Chief of the heavenly hosts fighting for you, oh what peace and joy will flood your heart in the midst of the storms of life! As long as Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is in your boat, that boat will never sink. A song writer wrote, “… No water can swallow the ship where lies, the Master of ocean and earth and skies”. This is so true. You can go to sleep in the midst of an earthquake when God is with you. That was why Peter could sleep so deep after his arrest. Acts 12:6-7 tells of how he slept, bound between two soldiers: “And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.”
He knew that even though he was in prison, He was safely in God’s hands. He also knew that God can do the impossible whenever He decides to. Are you anxious over how you will come out of that impossible situation? Fear not! What did Peter do to come out? Nothing! He slept while others prayed, yet he came out. You are coming out today in Jesus’ Name. Because God is with you, you will never fall.

He Uses Fishermen. Sermon And Prayer Point by Pastor E A Adeboye
Matthew_28-19-3: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
Memorise
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 1 Corinthians 12:22
Read: Luke 5:1-11
1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
Message
Matthew_4-19:And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men
When the time comes for God to fulfil a plan He has predestined to happen, He looks out for those He can use for this purpose. God does not discriminate in His choice of persons to use to accomplish His mission. He can use the great or the small. When the time came for Him to choose those who would serve and learn under His Son, He chose some raw fishermen. Our God is awesome, and His ways are past finding out! In today’s Bible reading, when Jesus found Peter, He told him that from that day, he would no longer catch fishes from the sea, but human souls from the world.
Mark_16-15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature
If God can use a raw uneducated fisherman like Peter, He can use you more. You are very useful to God. However, do you make yourself available for His use? Ironically, as the number of ministers is increasing, the number of those who are available for God’s use is decreasing. As a result of this, many people bear the title of minister, but they are not available to perform their assignments. Have we forgotten the acronym F.A.T., which stands for Faithfulness, Availability and Teachability? If God will use you, these three must be the code you live by. Today, because the people we consider more suitable for kingdom assignments are either too busy or giving too many excuses, God is moving to those who have made themselves available to do His work, even when those people appear less suitable for the work. Are you available to serve God? If you can create time to do your secular work that you will have to leave someday, why can’t you create time to serve your Maker who can reward you for your service in eternity?
Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O, RCCG
There are some people who feel God cannot use them, because they have not yet bagged a degree, amassed some wealth or become famous. Oh, how mistaken they are! Do you know that God can use you just as you are? He can use you even in your limited state, if you will only turn your life over to Jesus. Do not wait to get your miracle first before telling others about the love of God. In any way you can share the gospel with the unsaved, go on and do so. Lead others to Christ. Use your influence to motivate people to do the right thing. Be a positive, holy influence on your peers. Remember, if you bear fruit for God’s kingdom, it will be His responsibility to do what He can to make you more fruitful.
Action Point
You are very important to God. If you fail to play your role in the Body of Christ, it could bring losses to God’s kingdom. Determine to play your role today.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
David was the man God called after Saul disappointed Him. The Bible said of David I have found me a man after my own heart. In other words God found the man that will do what He wants. And then He sent Prophet Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoint David as king. When he got there all the sons of Jesse came; Eliab, Abinadab, Shamak and the rest came but David was not there. It happened that God was organizing something for David but he was not invited. Let me tell you child of God, whatever the Lord has packaged for you, no one will take away from you. They can manipulate and do all human arrangements but as long as it is not God’s arrangement they will never take it away from you. God’s word concerning you will come to pass and if no one will speak for you God Himself will speak for you. At times we may not have a voice but I am glad that the God that we serve has the loudest voice. He knows how to speak for people who cannot speak for themselves.
Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end
They had to look for David. So they will look for you because nothing will proceed without you because you have a vital role to play. They looked for David and he was anointed king in the midst of his brethren. This was a man that was forgotten but suddenly, in an instant, he became king.
Beloved, you must allow God to be God. In addition to the foregoing, someone was at the palace speaking on behalf of David. Saul became mentally deranged and someone said to the king I know a man who knows how to play music and your condition will be minimized. David did not solicit for the publicity. In the same vein God will make it happen for you.
Psalms_5-12-1: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
David suddenly moved from the backside of the desert where he was playing music for animals to the palace. I declare that you are moving to the palace. Right now it looks as if you are a nobody, you come into church and go out, and nobody recognizes you. Just keep coming. All I can promise you is that the word of God will do wonders in your life. What he did for others He will do in your life. Favour will attend to you anywhere you go. You will attract favour nationally and internationally. What has been difficult for you to sell, this month you will sell it. Beginning from now your testimony starts. The treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, the treasures in the sand, in the air, in the trees, in the hills and valleys and mountains, treasures that are yet hidden that no one has found, I release them to you now. This year you will overtake your overtakers, Amen!

Mark_8-36: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Did you know that you can do very spiritual things that are still rooted in self ?
You can sing in the choir, lifting up songs to God, but your motive could be to be seen by men. You can become a leader or go into ministry because you want to feel important. That is why God looks at the heart and He checks our motives (1 Samuel 16:7).
Wrong motives will not please God. We can fool men who look at the outward demonstrations…but God knows the truth and He will not be pleased.
Check your motives. Ask yourself if you need to be in charge. Do you need to have your opinion followed? Then ask yourself if it is about God. Will God be pleased?
The only way to be in the will of God and to have the mind of God is to go the way of the cross. Our motives should be to please God-not ourselves-to give Him pleasure.
We were created for His pleasure, according to Revelation 4:11. God is pleased with us when our motives are selfless instead of selfish.

Romans 8:28 says, “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”In other words, when you are in the purpose, or will, of God, everything that comes into your life can work for your good. You may immediately question how the loss of your job can be for your good, or how your illness can be for your good. If, by “good,” Romans 8:28 meant your comfort, convenience, health, wealth, prosperity, pleasure, or happiness, we would all question it! But your ultimate good is conformity to the image of Jesus Christ. And when you are in God’s will – “called according to his purpose” – everything God allows into your life is used by Him to make you like Christ. Everything!

Isaiah_40-31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint
Joshua had to wait seven days as he obediently marched around Jericho before God rewarded his patience and brought the walls down.
Psalms_62-1: Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation
Israel waited for the Messiah to come. Mary waited nine months for Jesus’ birth. Jesus waited for the woman of Samaria to come to the well, Mary and Martha waited for Jesus to come to Bethany, and Jesus Himself waited three days in the tomb for the resurrection. A person who lives in submissive obedience to Christ is a person who is often called to wait.
Psalms_27-14: Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD
Are you waiting on God for something? What plans have you made in the meantime? Who else have you involved in those plans? Is there someone else, a mother-in-law or pastor or best friend, who is leading you to join him or her in decisive action? Instead of blindly saying, “I’ll go with you,” take a moment to pray and ask God for His direction. Then wait until He answers you.

Communication is probably one of the most important activities in life. There are different kinds of communication. We shall however, discuss the communication between man and GOD, which is established through prayer. In Luke 18, the LORD Jesus taught on the importance of prayer. Man is a spirit and his needs are essentially spiritual. This is why he always craves for that spiritual contact with God, who is described in Hebrews 12:9 as “The Father of spirit.”
Matthew_26-41-1: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak
What a blessing to know that you can communicate directly with your heavenly Father; that you can have His hundred percent attention through prayer: “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil”(1 Peter 3:12). This is one reason you ought to always be excited to pray. Some people only pray when they need something. That’s wrong! The time of prayer isn’t just a time to ask God for things; it’s a time to commune or fellowship with Him. That’s the time to hear what He has to say and receive direction for each day’s activities and challenges.
1-Thessalonians_5-17: Pray without ceasing
The Bible says concerning Jesus that, “ …in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed ”(Mark 1:35). Jesus took prayer seriously while He was on earth, because He understood the importance of communing with the Father. On another occasion, it was recorded that He prayed all night (Luke 6:1). Though He was (and is) the Son of God, He didn’t take prayer for granted. He understood prayer as an effective communication with the Father.
2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which 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
The moment you understand and embrace this truth, your life will become richer and you’ll be more productive in all your endeavours. You need that continual fellowship with God to function effectively, otherwise, everything you do will be meaningless, and will have no spiritual impact. Do you see why you should take your prayer life more seriously? Learn to rise up early to commune with the LORD, and do this as often as you should.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the privilege of prayer. I’m blessed and humbled to know that Your watchful and loving eyes are over me, and Your ears are open to hear and answer my prayers. Therefore, I thank You, for my day is blessed, and I receive from You the wisdom and grace to deal excellently in all my affairs today, in the Name of Jesus! Amen!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Rahab was a prostitute. She took a good look at her life and must have imagined how she would end up. She saw an opportunity when the servant of God who came to spy the land lodged at her house. She took a decision to end prostitution. She looked at herself and realized that of all the people in her city, God had chosen to visit her. She made a decision to end prostitution that day and start a new life. She made the choice to hide the spies and side with the Lord. If you check the Scriptures, Rahab is documented in the lineage of Jesus Christ. That’s God. That’s an uncommon grace. God qualifies the unqualified! So you see you are the only one who can rule yourself out. God has not rejected you. He does not reject anyone.
1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love
Don’t ever write off anyone, no matter how bad their situation is. Don’t write people off no matter how far gone or hopeless their case is. As long as a man is still sitting under the teaching of the word of God, don’t underestimate him. It was Job who said a tree can be cut down but as long as that tree perceives the scent of water it will sprout again and bring forth (Job14:7-9). Water here is a type of the Word of God.
Ruth was another example. Ruth and Orpah were married to the sons of Elimelech. They both lost their husbands during difficult times. Orpah turned back and we never heard about her again. There is no book documented in her name. They both got married to the same family and were introduced to the same God. They both had colourful destinies but when they came to a cross road in their lives, Orpah said what the world normally says; a bird in hand is better than thousands in the bush. That’s not what the bible says, it is a fable.
The believer walks by faith and not by sight. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and went back but Ruth said the future may not look colourful, it may look ordinary, and it may appear as if nothing can happen but I’d rather stay connected to God almighty and I will not let go of his love for me. She went with Naomi. Ruth went with God and today a whole book of the bible is dedicated to Ruth. In the scripture, a Moabitess, Ruth, was found in the lineage of Christ. That is an uncommon grace.
Make a decision to go all the way with the Lord today and I assure you that you will also experience uncommon grace. I bless you today in the name of the Lord.

Whenever you come to the crossroads of life, get ready because God is ready to show you a dimension of himself that you have never seen. There will always be crossroads. You cannot pray, fast or confess it out of existence. Every one of us will surely come to crossroads several times in our lives. A crossroad is a place where you make critical decisions. Crossroads are part of your pathway to greatness.
1-Corinthians_2-9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him
Moses had the assignment of a deliverer, he was to lead God’s people out of Egypt and slavery after 430 years. They came to the red sea. The scripture tells us that before them was the sea, on their left and right were obstacles; behind them they saw the Egyptians with their choicest military personnel in hot pursuit. Remember they were in the will of God but that was a crossroad. What do you do when you are in God’s will and things are still difficult; and you don’t know what stand to take? Do you know what God said to Moses; tell them to go forward. You have come to a crossroad but go forward.
In Christianity there is nothing like retreat, you don’t go back. That was why when they crossed the sea, the Lord told Moses to lift up his hands and the sea covered. In other words you can’t go back no matter the crossroad you encounter in life or in your pathway of serving God. Go forward, don’t retreat. Don’t run away from battle. Go forward and you will see the salvation of God. Whenever you go forward you see God in another dimension. You see him do the unusual.
Child of God, I challenge you now to go forward. Keep moving. The mountain will fall before you. Just go forward. I can assure you that when you are faced with a mountain and you are determined to go on irrespective of obstacles, supernaturally, the mountain will either give way or you climb over the mountain or you go under it or you bore a hole through it. One thing is sure; you are getting to the other side. Beloved rejoice because I already see you on the other side.

What was the end of Pharaoh? He drowned with all his best military hardware and personnel. They drowned in the red sea that God’s people walked through. The enemy that they saw the same day, they saw them no more. You can’t pursue God’s people when you know God will arise to help them. How dare you think you can overwhelm a child of God? When God allowed certain things in your life, it does not mean He is weak. He is simply saying “my child, you can handle it“. When all is said and done, the last testimony belongs to you and all the Glory goes to God Almighty!
Romans_8-38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
All those against you shall fall for your sake, your mouth will testify. Where others faint, you will stand strong. Your business will blossom. Your children will excel. Your ministry will explode and your testimony will be noised abroad in Jesus name. Your God will show up in your difficulty and show you a way out. You will not be confused. You have overcome. Rejoice because God has remembered you and your life will not be the same again.
Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
There is no margin for failure for a child of God, so be thankful because in Christ we are always victorious. You must always remember that you have no failure material in you. You win always. You may not look like it but don’t ever set your face towards failure. It is an insult to the finished work of redemption. Don’t ever accept failure. If you accept failure then Christ has failed because you are in Christ.
Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success
Christ has done it all. And God sees you in Christ because the price is fully paid. When you therefore say that you are a failure because of a temporal situation, the enemy will be wondering if you know who you are and what Christ has done. In the book of Exodus chapter 14, the enemy drowned because they pursued the people of God. Whatever door that has been shut before you, I command it to be supernaturally opened. The scripture recorded in Joshua 6:1 that Jericho was shut because of the children of Israel, none went in and none could go out. They did not want them to possess what God had given them. It was shut to prevent God’s people from entering but God showed up and proved Himself God. I see God proving Himself in that situation. Every door of hindrance is broken today. Supernaturally, open door is your portion. I bless you today.

Isaiah_41-10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
In Joshua 6:20 the lofty walls of Jericho crashed down before the children of Israel when the people shouted and blew the trumpet as God had instructed them. The walls fell down flat and the people went in to the city, and they took the city. Their period of waiting was over in few days as they obeyed the commandment of the Lord. The Lord will grant you speed this season. There will be acceleration in the fulfilment of your desire. God Himself will handle it. Just let Him be God.
Take a look at Joseph, what was his qualification? In the natural, Joseph was a slave. Slaves don’t own anything as a matter of fact. He was bought as a commodity. But do you know his asset? God was with him. Beloved, God is with you. You are not alone. As I open the newspaper and follow the news, I see human wickedness on the increase and the only hope we have is that God is with His children. He will be your God. He will do supernatural things for His children. Things they took from you, they will beg you to take it back.
Child of God, if God can open up Jericho, He will open up every country land, city, community unto you. Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut (Isaiah 45:1). His plan and purpose for your life will be achieved, you will not be denied. Every door against your promotion is opened today. Every obstacle on the way is broken. Every challenge is rolled away. Your best and brightest days are here. Get ready to celebrate. Men and women of great reputation will be drawn to you. Your lifting has started.

If God spared not His son, why will he keep back what He has prepared for you? So the question today is “Are you preparing for good or evil? When you prepare for good, you will attract good. Be a good magnet. When you wake up in the morning, confess good and expect good. The bible says in Proverbs 23:18 “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.” Good will knock at your door. Only goodness is permitted to follow you. No witch can hold you down. Before the witch arrives, God would have already completed everything about you. No witch can take God unawares. God always goes ahead of the enemy. Isaiah 45:2 says “I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:”You didn’t start it. God started it and He will not abandon you half way. God knows the enemy will show up but He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.
God does not abandon His project. There is no room for surprise from the pit of hell. He completed you before He started. When you see people stand tall in spiritual things, it is because of what they know. Daniel 11:32 tells us that the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploit. So stand! Dig into the word of God and know Him, then stand tall in Him.
Whatever your situation, understand that you are not alone and you cannot be abandoned. God is by you, with you and for you. God began it; it was not your idea. If He began it, He will finish it. So go to bed and trust God who began this work to perfect it because He is God and God alone. Don’t bother about the witches, you are in Christ. Before they can get to you, they have to go through God and Christ. Fear not, because you are in Christ. If you don’t stand your ground, they will make a mess of your faith.
So much occultism is parading our nation today, so believers must stand their ground for God and He will show you up as His child. Child of God, your tomorrow is bright and your destiny is colourful. Enjoy the goodness of the day. I bless you today.

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace
Looking back is a mark of defeat. When you look up God himself will show you His salvation. When you look ahead of you, you will move towards your goal and you will realise your destiny. God told Abraham, Look up from where you are. Do not bother about the situation you are in. Look northward, southward, eastward, westward. As far as your eyes can see will I give to you. There is so much in the land that you are looking at. Lot may have taken what looks better but let me tell you there is so much underground.
Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Do you know that the same land that Abraham took is the present Saudi Arabia today with all the wealth therein? As at that time there was no visible oil wells there. But God who gave it saw beyond the sand he knew there were wells there. You are loaded. Go forward! Stop looking behind. There is nothing behind. Move ahead. Move on. They shut the door against you, go forward. Someone disappointed you, go forward. I have not seen a person who is involved in a race looking back and running at the same time who will get there first. Keep running, that’s what God said.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalms 1:1-3). You see when you became a child of God you were automatically born into royalty there are things that are automatically yours by virtue of the seed you carry. They are yours.
God is going to surprise the world. The last time I read my bible it says unto principalities and powers will be made known by the church the manifold wisdom of God (Ephesians 3:10). God is going to demonstrate his wisdom through the church. That is why the world is getting darker. That is why they are running ahead and we seem to be behind. Get ready. Time is going to be compressed and you will overtake them. A little that you will do would produce plenty, just a little effort. You will break-forth to the left, break-forth to the right; break-forth to the front and expand in every area.
May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

Romans_8-28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose
One of the most encouraging verses in the entire Bible is found in Paul’s letter to the Christians living in extreme persecution in the city of ancient Rome. Paul says it like this:
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
This passage brought me great hope for the first time when I was just a teenager and was experiencing some extremely difficult hardships at the time. And now that I am older, I can say this passage means even more to me now than it did as a teenager. At this stage of my life, it is much more than hope. It is experience.
I’d like to share with you ten amazing ways I’ve found that God works things together for good in our lives, even when we wouldn’t have expected it.
God Provides
One of the most amazing things I have discovered over the years is that God truly provides even in the midst of extraordinarily difficult circumstances. And He generally does so in ways that I never would have expected. Many times He has taken me through a path of loss only to bring me into pasture of abundance. God gives, and He takes away. But I have always found that He ends up giving me more than He has taken. And most of the time, He would not have been able to bless me if He had not first taken away those things I thought I needed at the time.
God Changes Hearts
God actually has the super-amazing ability to change hearts. At times he has changed my heart to conform with His perfect plan. At other times I have seen him change the hearts of others in order to accomplish His will in my life. “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord. Like the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He wishes” (Proverbs 21:1, NKJV).
God Protects
Even as God protected the Children of Israel in the midst of the plagues in Egypt, I have seen God protect my family and other Christians who have been in the midst of extreme hardship. There have been times in my life in which I have felt like I was experiencing a set back. But after allowing time to sort things out, I was able to see that God was actually taking me out of the way of a greater harm that could have befallen me. He was truly protecting me.
God Empowers
Another profound thing I’ve seen over the years is that God has the ability to empower me through challenging events in a way that I never could have experienced otherwise. God will never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6), and He tends to give us the greatest amount of his divine power when life is in those darkest hours.
God Befuddles the Enemy
When you feel that someone is tormenting you, and they just seem to be “getting away with it,” you can dismiss that notion from your mind. Even when you cannot see what God is doing, you can rest assured that He is at work—even in the hearts and minds of your enemies. Justice reigns, and He has the ability to confound the works of the wicked.
God Strengthens
A famous theologian once made the statement, “Whatever doesn’t kill us will make us stronger.” OK, that was not actually theologian. It was Arnold Schwarzenegger! But God clearly uses adversity to make us stronger. The key is to run TO God and not AWAY from Him in times of trial.
God has used trials to strengthen me over the past years to the point that I can now withstand hardships that would have crushed me when I was a young man. I am thankful for His spiritual strength which He has imparted to me through those trials.
God Builds Your Character
Nothing purifies our character and motives quite like the fiery furnace of trials and tribulations. And it is important for you to know that we all NEED that type of refining. God uses pain to turn us into clean, pure vessels for His use.
God Heals
Just as God allowed Lazarus to die so that He could demonstrate His power over death by raising him back to life (John 11), at times God allows us physical maladies so that He can heal us for His glory. He is the Great Physician and has the ability to heal when that is what is best in your particular situation. And I have seen His healing in ways that have convinced me that He is truly in control.
God Develops Your Wisdom
I don’t have an exact measuring tool here, but I would estimate that 90% of the wisdom I have gained over the years have come during hardship—and not when times were easy. When we are dialed in to God, He can use pain and difficult times to help us to learn about life in ways that we never could have experienced in times of bliss.
God Gives Purpose and Direction
God often gives us direction and purpose by pointing us on a certain path in the midst of hardship. I know many counselors who were called to counseling after they had experienced seasons of deep pain. I know of youth/children’s ministry workers who were called to ministry after they went through difficult times in their own youth. God can pull you through the storm and into a bright new day of ministry like you’ve never experienced thus far in your life.
God is good, and He can work all of the events of your life into a great masterpiece—if you let Him.

Romans_8-28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.Romans 8:28
We live in an often hostile world. We all experience suffering and disappointment, but God is in the business of using our difficulties and setbacks for our ultimate good.
Joseph dreamed he would be a leader, but after sharing his dream with his brothers, they seized Joseph and sold him into slavery. He was chosen to serve an Egyptian leader named Potiphar. Everything Joseph touched prospered, because the Lord was with him. After serving faithfully in Potiphar’s house, Potiphar’s wife – who was enthralled with young Joseph – tried to entice him and desired to sleep with the Hebrew slave, but he refused. The woman then falsely accused Joseph of making sexual advances toward her, and he was sentenced to prison.
Joseph remained in prison for some time, but God’s hand was upon him even in that dark place. He was entrusted with the charge of the prisoners. The keeper of the prison committed them into his hands.
Thirteen years lapsed since his brothers betrayed him. Throughout this time God silently worked in Joseph’s heart. The Lord used suffering to forge godly character within him. Joseph was then given the opportunity of a lifetime. He was asked to interpret Pharaoh’s dream. God gave Joseph the dream’s meaning. He explained to Pharaoh that Egypt would experience seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. He wisely communicated to the ruler that an individual should be put in charge who would save grain during the years of abundance to be used during the time of scarcity. Pharaoh appointed Joseph as second in command of Egypt, and his God-given insight saved multitudes from starvation.
His brothers came to Egypt in search of food. Joseph met them and chose to forgive them. He viewed his suffering as part of God’s overall plan. He said to his brothers,
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives”(Genesis 50:20).
God transformed Joseph’s suffering by his sovereign hand. And he works in our lives as well. When we place our pain and disappointments into the Father’s hand, he eventually brings healing, victory, and promotion into our lives. As we stay faithful to God, he weaves his goodness into our lives and causes the days of our darkness to be eclipsed by the sun.
We do experience pain in this life, but in the midst of our suffering, God is there. The Lord calls us to forgive our oppressors, and he eventually elevates us out of our hardships and causes us to shine for him. His plan is to use us for his kingdom and for his glory. Let’s choose faithfulness, let’s embrace forgiveness, and let’s offer all our emotional pain to Jesus. He loves us and he will transform our suffering into great glory. He will vindicate us and eventually cause us to prevail for his kingdom purposes.
I worship You. I give to You my sorrows – the hurtful things I don’t understand. I give You my pain and ask You to transform my suffering into victory. Lord, have Your way in me. Help me to be faithful, and help me to forgive those that have harmed me. I entrust myself in Your care. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Revelation_3-20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Memorise:
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

Message
It is great folly to contend with God. This is why I pity those societies that have become anti-God and are challenging His commandments. God spoke about such people in Isaiah 45:9, saying:
“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?”
God can enthrone and dethrone at will. He does whatever pleases Him. You are blessed when God acts positively towards you, but if He decides to move against you, pray for His mercy. The Bible in Daniel 2:21 says:
“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:”
It is a grievous experience when God decides to replace an individual. Haman the Agagite experienced this, and you can see the result in our Bible reading today. King Ahasuerus promoted Haman above all his fellow princes. However, he thought it was by his own making that the promotion came. Little did he know that promotion does not come from the east or west, but from the Almighty God alone (Psalm 75:6-7). So, he began to misuse his highly exalted position to victimise the people of God. He continued to misbehave along this line until the Almighty God who ordained his promotion decided not only to demote him, but also to replace him. I pray for you as a child of God, that whosoever is using his or her position to victimise you shall be replaced in Jesus’ Name.
For God not to replace you, you must learn from those He has replaced. You can be replaced if you don’t make the best of the position of authority you are given to serve God’s people. Beware of divine replacement because it can affect your future generations. Eli was replaced, and his house lost the priesthood forever. God categorically said that although He was the One who said Eli’s house would walk before Him as priests forever, He had changed His mind about this (1 Samuel 2:30). Please run away from whatever will make God replace you. If you have done such things, you must repent quickly before he removes your candlestick (Revelation 2:5).
Dear Holy Spirit, nudge my heart away from doing anything that will make the Father replace me in Jesus’ Name.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
Psalms_30-5: For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Message
Prayer is ordained by God as a means of communication between God and man. Christians are commanded to depend on God completely for all their needs, hopes and aspirations by bringing all their requests to Him in prayer (Philippians 4:6). In today’s memory verse, God challenges anyone who believes in Him to ask and they shall receive, to seek and they shall find, to knock and it shall be opened to them.
He went further in John 16:24where He said:
“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
1-Thessalonians_5-17: Pray without ceasing
This means that prayer is the means God has provided for Christians to have all of their needs satisfied. For this reason, God did not place any limitation on prayer; He tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). So, you can continuously approach heaven without any fear of disturbing God.
Prayer symbolises trust and total dependence on God. Dependence on God for help with spiritual and physical needs arises out of an awareness of human helplessness (Psalm 18:6, Mark 4:38). The word of the Lord to those who would not pray because they have alternative means of getting things done is found in Jeremiah 17:5:
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”
Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace
But for those who trust in Him, He sends this word in Hebrews 4:16:
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
God answers prayers because He is the one who commanded that we should pray, and He cannot deny Himself. Because we have access to God through Jesus (Ephesians 3:12), and because Jesus Himself gave us the assurance that He will do whatsoever we ask the Father in His Name (John 15:16), you can therefore go ahead and ask so that your joy may be full. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to God; He is the owner of all things visible and invisible. He is a loving Father, and He is only waiting to hear from you.
Action Point:
Ask God for 5 things you need Him to do for you, and trust Him to answer.

2-Corinthians_5-17-1: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
1 Corinthians 15:33, “Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good habits.”
Show me your friends and I will show you your future! The people you are associating with are the same people you are giving permission to influence and navigate your destiny. The casualties are endless. From the businessperson who selected the wrong partner and went bankrupt, to the troubled, soon to be in divorce court newlywed, who asked their thrice-divorced friend for marriage advice. Who doesn’t know teenagers who started running with the party crowd and found themselves imprisoned by addiction? The proof is undeniable.
John_15-13-1: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
However, the opposite is also true. Befriending honest people, dating people who are chasing God or marrying someone with character and integrity will always bring lifelong benefits. A fulfilled marriage, a God honoring dating life, a successful career or friendships that heal (instead of hurt) are as simple as who you choose to let in the door of your life. Although a mob of different characters will ring your doorbell only you can decide who is allowed to come in.
Proverbs_13-20: He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed
TWO KINDS OF RELATIONSHIPS
Once you sort through the currency of relationships there are only two kinds: COUNTERFEIT
And AUTHENTIC.
One crowd loves things and uses people
and the other loves people and uses things. One group tempts, flatters and tantalizes. They whisper compromise. They encourage immediate gratification. They deceive.
The other crowd encourages and edifies. They promote integrity. They seek what’s best for you instead of their self. They pray.
1-Corinthians_15-58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord
Wrong relationships pursue life like no one is watching, while the right ones are living like God sees everything, because they know He does!
Are the people in your inner circle honest, faithful, worthy of trust, seeking to follow Christ? Are you becoming a better person and more dedicated believer through their influence? Do they cultivate your strength? If they are not, its time to reconsider the relationship.
Ephesians_4-29: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers
The verse in 1 Corinthians warns against being tricked or deceived. This alarm bell must be sounding because people have tendencies toward the belief that wrong relationships will not influence their good habits. I used to tell my mother not to worry about my troubled friends because my positive influence would change them instead of them changing me. I couldn’t have been more wrong! I was not only swayed by their habits but they swept me under.
Ask God to bring people into your life that will help you and that you can help to become stronger and more Christ like.
Your relationships are pictures of your future. May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!
May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!
