Jeremiah 15:16
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.”

Joy is divine and is rooted in the word of God.

Christians should search for joy through the word and not in the World.

This joy propels people to preach to sinners, help the poor, visit the widow and the fatherless, and spread the good news of the kingdom.

The highest honour anyone can receive. I pray that the joy of the Lord will overflow in you and become a source of joy to the whole world, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.

Father, please let joy like a river flow through me to the world, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Philippians 4:6‬

Song;

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.

Your mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning,

new every morning:

great is your faithfulness, O Lord,

great is your faithfulness

We thank God for His faithfulness and return all glory to Him now and always.

This is a time to encourage one another. In 1918 when there was the Spanish Flu in which over 50 million of the world’s population died, the Christians in America did the following;

They did not allow themselves to be discouraged and give in to fear. Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 91: 5-6

They took care of each other, the community and the poor. Acts 4:32-34

Some Churches donated their buildings as makeshift hospitals to care for the sick.

They also had house to house gatherings of few people to worship the LORD like was done in the days of the Apostles. Acts ‪2:46‬

Because they did not have the benefit of internet, some pastors printed their sermons in local Newspapers and these were circulated in their locality.

We can learn from the above and do likewise and more to glorify God at this time.

As the Spanish Flu passed, this will also pass in Jesus Name. We should trust God.

We should also not be unduly fearful of the economic impact of COVID 19; remember, that when the children of Israel left Egypt after the plaque, they left with benefits.

By the grace of God, when others are saying there is a casting down, we will say there is a lifting up.

We should be anxious for nothing, because He owns our tomorrow.

Let us Pray
1.Father we thank you for your continuous protection over us, and our loved ones in Jesus Name.

2.Lord please have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring this plaque to an end in Jesus Name.

3.Lord, please heal the sick, both those suffering from COVID-19 and other ailments in Jesus Name.

4.Lord we pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort and strengthen all families that lost their loved ones at this time in Jesus Name.

5.Father, let everything work for our good according to Romans 8: 28 at the end of this COVID 19 in Jesus Name.

May the Lord hear and answer our prayers in Jesus Name. Amen.

To enjoy a healthy living and survival, it takes the Grace of God. Times like this, we need God for absolute peace of mind to live in peace and happiness. Be satisfied with the little you have.

Spend wisely and buy only what you really need to make you healthy.

Avoid Conflicts in any form, many people are angry, frustrated and ready to kill at any little provocation, patience is key, ignore trouble as much as possible, learn to say sorry.

Men should please control their anger, we know how hard it is to make ends meet, please don’t take it down on family, let your home be a peaceful place. Don’t Worry we will all smile again. Your own is better because you have good health. Hundred of millionaires are receiving treatment in hospitals. Don’t give yourself hypertension.

Women, endure with your family . Don’t complain. Show love. Be a good Mother, create fun to ease tension.

Our health should be very important, give it a priority. Eat moderately prepared healthy diet with varieties of fruits. Above all, thank God, you are not hospitalized.

Always count yourself blessed because you are healthy.
Smile, Laugh, Rejoice!!!

There are better days ahead. Once there’s life, there’s hope.

Health is wealth!!!

Nothing in life lasts for life. Only God and His words does. Choose to live by the infallible word of God. This is the way to true happiness in life

Remember to live before you leave.
Don’t spend your entire life making a living and forget to live.

There are only two ways to live, you’re either living or just existing. A balanced life is the best life.

In our jobs whoever is saying we’re irreplaceable is lying to us .But in our families and circles we are irreplaceable

Life is like exam questions. If you are having a problem understanding one question move to the next. Don’t get stuck in one chapter of your book of life.




Winners don’t quit but they surely take breaks. Don’t spend your entire life opening one door. If it refused to open forever means maybe it’s not your door. The fact that a certain aspect of your life is not working as planned doesn’t mean your whole life has to be on hold. Your time here is limited, spend it wisely. A wise hunter with just one bullet doesn’t shoot anyhow.

If you can change it, change it. If you can’t change it, stop worrying and complaining about it. Never give the management of your life to those who cannot manage their own life properly.



To be spiritually fooled is to be spiritually foolish. Be careful when someone who cannot hear his own voice tells you he’s hearing from GOD.

Happiness is a choice, not destiny. Happiness is not a destination, you must travel with it. A situation and a problem are two different things don’t mix both.

Happiness is a present tense, not a future tense. You can delay your gratification but your happiness should never be postponed.

Always do your best but never ever forget to take a rest. Whoever refused to rest will eventually be laid to rest and people will tell him to REST IN PEACE.

HEALTH IS WEALTH

START LIVING AND STOP EXISTING…!!!

“ Pray without ceasing”-1 Thess 5:17

Without prayer, God will not interfere in the affairs of man. This is because at creation, God gave the authority to determine what happens on earth to man, Genesis 1:28.

So, Man became the god of the earth, Psalm 82:6; John 10:34-36. Jesus re-affirmed man’s authority on the earth when He said in Mathew 18:18, “Verily I say unto you: whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” In other words, heaven only responds to what we do or ask it to do. If we ask or do nothing, heaven does nothing, and if we ask or do something, heaven follows suit.

Prayer is our means of asking God to do something on earth. Having handed the earth over to us to rule over, unless we invite Him to do something, God simply looks on, allowing us to run our show. The state of human affairs today is largely a reflection of Man’s managerial ability, save for occasions that he has allowed a partnership with God or permitted God to take over.

God will not forcibly take over what He has authorized man to rule over, unless man asks for His assistance through prayer. Matt:7:7.

For divine intervention that will put an end to a pandemic such as covid-19 therefore, we must invite Him into the matter through purposeful prayer.

It is one thing to pray, and quite another, to pray in the right way. James 4:3 says: “Ye ask, and receive not, because Ye ask amiss, that ye May consume it upon your lusts.”

One right way to pray at a time like this, is to ask God specifically, to give wisdom to the scientists and doctors who are working day and night all over the world, to quickly find a cure for this virus.

When the waters of Jericho became poisonous resulting in an epidemic, God answered the people’s prayers by sending Prophet Elisha and showing him the cause of the problem and the cure. Elisha then asked for salt in a new cruse, which he applied to the source of the water, immediately bringing the epidemic to an end, 2 Kings 2:18-22.

Medical Scientists are the people that God has put in charge of this aspect of human affairs. It is by His wisdom that they do what they have been called to do. That is their own mountain to take for God. Let’s pray that God opens their eyes and gives them grace and enablement to quickly and successfully take this mountain for the Lord, in the interest of humanity.

Scientific and medical discoveries are a result of God’s revealed wisdom-God acting through human vessels to reveal the means of subduing and exercising dominion over the earth, as commanded by God in Genesis 1:28. Deuteronomy 29:29 says: “The secret things belong unto the Lord, our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Doing ‘all the words of this law’, include fulfilling the Genesis 1:28 mandate.

Every scientific discovery is a divine revelation. If God can use animals, He can use anyone to accomplish His purpose, even an unbelieving scientist. So, the solution doesn’t even have to come through a Christian scientist. It can be an atheist. It doesn’t render it any less the handiwork of God. God can, and mostly uses unexpected vessels to accomplish His purposes.

As we remain in isolation therefore, in addition to our cry for mercy, the universal prayer of all Mankind to God should be: “Father, please reveal urgently to the medical scientists, the cure for coronavirus; help them to take their mountain quickly, so that the pandemic may come to an end shortly, in Jesus name. Amen.

Good morning and do have a lovely day.

Shalom!



Deuteronomy 8:18
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth,”

Having riches is not the problem, but having a wrong attitude towards it. Riches should be thankfully received, and Christians must value heavenly riches above earthly wealth.

Earthly riches are to be used in the service of the Creator and the true owner of all things.

God has the power to make anyone wealthy, therefore His children do not have to live in penury.

Father, please help me to wrestle in prayers until my breakthrough comes, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Enjoy A Blessed Wednesday

Genesis 6:14

Spirituality is good in as much as one maintained and followed detail instructions from God

2 Timothy 3:16-17, To be over Spiritual is not a crime either, but the fact remains that many have missed out in following details all in the name of doing things in a way to suit them.

If we consider the scripture well, we will discovered that God said to Noah in GENESIS 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Noah followed details as given by God to him and at the end he was rewarded for his obedience. Genesis 9:1-2

Make your house the “ARK OF GOD” in this season building vibrant Family fellowship with God.

1 CORTH 3:16, Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

You are at home not because your love or passion for God has declined but God said in ECCLESIATES 3:1 “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

There are times GOD does not require your effort in the battles field that is why He said in Exodus 14: 14 “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

All you need to do in a season like this is to hold your peace at home until the plague is rooted out.

PRAYERS
1. Thank God for His protection and provisions.

2. Thank God for answering our prayers

3. Ask God for Mercy wherever you have disobeyed Instructions

4. Talk to God to grant you grace to hearken diligently to instructions

5. Please pray that God will perfect everything concerning COVID-19 that God will reveal to the scientists the vaccine and His Name alone be glorified.

6. Personal Prayer request

1 Peter 2:9
“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;”_

Every child of God living holy and committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ is bound to experience greatness.

Seeking greatness anywhere apart from God is an exercise in futility. The power of God to make you great rest squarely on His personality as the Almighty and unlimited God.

If you desire to be great, do not waste your money, time and energy in pursuit of greatness outside God; it will end in disappointment and failure

Father, please let your great plans for my life become a reality very soon, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Isaiah 61:1 says:
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”

The Holy Spirit gives hope to the hopeless, healing to the sick and life to the spiritually dead persons. The anointing of the Holy Spirit that enabled Jesus to do all that He did. Hence, if we are to do the same and even greater works (John 14:12), then we must also be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Are you ready for service?

Father, please anoint and equip me for greater works, in the mighty name of Jesus.

“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.”_ – 2 Peter 3:18

Steadily growing in grace helps us avoid lust and worldliness. When a Christian allows such into his/her life, there will be a gradual spiritual decline which is very dangerous.

To avoid this decline, we must desire the sincere milk of the word (1 Peter 2:2). We must also strive to keep our salvation, working it out with fear and trembling

Father, give me a hunger for Your word. Cause me to grow in the grace of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalm 11:1-“In the Lord I put my trust…”

David faced trouble upon trouble, crisis upon crisis, and on many occasions, could have died, but for God who rescued him. He therefore learned by personal experience, what it meant to trust God in trouble.

That’s why words like trust, rest, recline, shield, refuge, Shepherd, shelter, strong tower, rock, fortress, buckler, filled his vocabulary.

In the end, David was able to confidently testify: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” -Psalm 37:25.

Apostle Paul too, faced many troubles. On one occasion he lamented: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed but not in despair.”- 2 Corinthians 4:18.

In the end, he testified: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith, 2 Timothy 4:7.” He did, trusting God, all the way.

Crisis is an occasion for Practical Christianity. In isolation to avoid a dreaded disease, with food and other supplies gradually thinning out, and compounded by security concerns, we have a choice whether to look unto God, or seek help elsewhere. Fear and panic are exposed in their helplessness.

Worry and anxiety are deflated. The only sure anchor is Christ, the Solid Rock. All other grounds are proving to be sinking sand.

‘Trust’ means to have a firm belief in the reliability of God to see us through this crisis, no matter its dimensions or vagaries. Simply put, it is to have confidence in God.

Hear David’s bold affirmation: “They that trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.” -Psalm 125:1.

In this time of trouble, God is our only refuge, Psalm 9:9, and strength, psalm 37:39; so we have no choice but to trust Him completely.

Trust in God is reflected in the words that we speak and in the actions that we take.

It also shows in how we pray. This is a wonderful opportunity to win unbelieving family members over to Christ, by the confidence in God that we display at this time.

Your children will be quietly observing to see whether you will show fear, with all your profession of faith.

Your spouse will observe to see whether indeed, your Jesus is worthy of trust, as you’ve always preached.

Jesus too, is watching to see whether you will trust Him in this storm, or panic like the disciples, while in the boat with Him.

God uses crisis times to test the faith of His children.

Will you and I pass this test? This is the time to go back to your sermon notes.

This is the time to soak yourself in the study of the scriptures. This is the time to sing hymns and psalms unto the Lord. This is the time to truly know who your helper is. This is the time to read and enjoy the beauty and truth of psalm 121.

Finally, as the scriptures show, those who trust God during crisis, usually experience uncommon miracles.

The widow of Zarephath survived the famine, 1 Kings 17:8-16. Elijah was fed by birds, 1 kings 17:6. The widow of the prophet discovered her pot of oil during crisis, 2 Kings 4:1-7.

These can become our own Elijah Days too, when our pots of soup will supernaturally increase.

They can be days when unsolicited help will come from unexpected quarters. They can indeed be days of divine protection and deliverance.

May this be your testimony, as you choose to trust God throughout this crisis, in Jesus name. Amen.

Shalom!
