Behold, I have indelibly imprinted
(tattooed a picture) you on the palms of each of my hands……(Isaiah 49:16 AMP).

There’re
some Christians who upon hearing other people testimonies of God’s faithfulness
wonder if God has forgotten them, and ask “O
God, what about me?” The Lord has not and will never forget you, for He
says, “See, I have tattooed your name
upon my palm……”(Isaiah 49:16 TLB). So, don’t give up, help is on the way!

God isn’t
partial; He’s not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which you
have showed towards His name (Hebrews 6:10). He’s a rewarder of those that
diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Therefore all you need do is trust Him;
keep acting your faith and remain faithful and diligent in your service to Him.

He may not
respond when you want Him to but…

And I will pray the Father, and He
shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever (John
14:16).

Some Christians
think the Holy Spirit sometimes goes on a break, or takes a recess just because
at such times they didn’t “feel” His presence. You don’t have to “feel” God to
know that He’s with you. Rather, you ought to know that He’s with you always,
because the Word says so. Jesus said, “…….and,
lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew
28:20). He didn’t say, “I’m with you only
when you can “feel” that I am.” Many have reduced their experience of Christianity
to the carnal realm of feeling, and that’s so wrong, for we walk by faith and
not by sensory perceptions (2 Corinthians 5:7).

But you
might want to ask, “What if someone…

God is a
giver; therefore everyone that must function at His level must inculcate the
giving mentality. One reason some folks in the Body of Christ experience
challenges in their lives is that they haven’t imbibed a giving attitude. Make
up your mind and purpose in your heart to imbibe a giving culture. That’s when
you’ll discover the essence, beauty and glory of Christianity. God’s manifold
blessings belong to givers; not takers!

There’s
nothing wrong with receiving, but God says it’s more blessed to give than to
receive. The person who gives is higher than the one that receive. The person
who gives is higher than the one that takes. Don’t be “taking” conscious;
rather, become “giving” conscious!

When you
understand what true Christianity is, you’d realize that life is about giving.
You’d discover that the reason God blesses you is so you can be a…

2 kings
4:8-37 narrates the inspiring story of a Shuna-mmite wowan. Whenever the
Prophet Elisha went to shunem, he stayed in her house. However, this woman and
her husband didn’t have any child. When Elisha discovered this, he told her to
expect a son, and in due course, she had a son.

Trouble
struck few years later when the child died, but the woman knew what to do. She
quickly dashed off to the Prophet Elisha with only one declaration on her lips,
“It is well”. Though there was a problem, she kept affirming that all was well.
She had an expectation, and she held on to that expectation even when it seemed
impossible; she kept on declaring it until she got it.

Just as this
woman did, you have to look at your situation through the eyes of your spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 says, “…..thanks

If you want a harvest of crops from your seed, you must sow
in a fertile ground. A good farmer wouldn’t sow his seed just anywhere. He’s
trained to cultivate the soil so his seed can produce much harvest. The Lord
Jesus likened the heart of man to the soil in the parable of the sower in Mark
4:2-8. In the same vein, if you want the Word of God to produce results in your
life, you must prepare your heart to receive the Word.

The first thing you must do is, cultivate the ground of your
heart in readiness for the seed of the Word of God. The Bible says, “…….Break
up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns” (Jeremiah 4:3). This is done
by praying in other tongues.

When you pray in other tongues, you’re actually charging up
yourself (1…

Many of us, even though we’re believers, have seen grief and
sorrow as such a natural part of life that, we haven’t even questioned them. In
fact, if we’re honest, we’d have to admit there are times when we actually want
to feel sad and sorry for ourselves.

Why would we choose to feel sorrow? Because sorrow has an
emotional kick to it. It offers a surge of felling that, in the beginning
stages, is almost intoxicating.

But grief and sorrow are dangerous things. Several years ago
God showed me that they’re not the innocent emotions we’ve thought they were.
The force behind these emotions are actually spirit beings sent by the devil
himself to kill, steal and destroy.

They are a part of the devastating, satanic barrage Jesus
took on Himself when He died on the Cross (Isaiah 53). He bore grief and
sorrow…

A rich man ran to Jesus one day, knelt down before Him and
asked, “….Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”(Mark
10:17). The Lord told him to sell everything he had, give to the poor and be
His disciple. The Bible says, “…he (the rich man) was sad at the saying, and
went away grieved; for he had great possessions” (Mark 10:22). The problem
wasn’t that he had great possessions nor was it that Jesus didn’t want him; for
the Bible did tell us that Jesus loved him (Mark 10:21). He was bound by his
wealth and possessions. He couldn’t be the thirteenth disciple because he
couldn’t release what he had.

To be a disciple takes one very essential quality: you must
be a giver. The disciples of Jesus were givers. The disciples were also wealthy
men, for they were…

Man is hopelessly lost until he receives God’s Word (2
Corinthians 4:3-4). The Word of God is the true light (John 1:9). This is the
light that you need to find your way through life. You see, the world is
pervaded by darkness and until you recognize the Word as the true Light, you’ll
continue to grope in life.

Fear, confusion, poverty, disease and death are all forms of
darkness. They all originated from the same source, the devil, who is himself
darkness. The reason many people fall by the way side in life is that they
didn’t have the light to go through the darkness of life and there was no light
for them to navigate, so they fell and plunged themselves deeper into darkness.

When you get a hold of the Word of God, your path becomes
illuminated and you’re able to find your…

How many times do we have to miss God’s blessings because they are not packaged as we expected.

A married lady was
expecting a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had admired a
beautiful diamond ring in a showroom, and knowing her husband could afford it,
she told him that was all she wanted. As her birthday approached, this lady awaited
signs that her husband had purchased the diamond ring.

Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called
her into his study room. Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a
good wife, and told her how much he loved her. He handed her a beautifully –
wrapped gift box.  Curious, the wife
opened the box and found a lovely, leather – bound Bible, with her name
embossed in gold. Angrily, she raised her voice…

To glow means to radiate light or heat or both. The Bible
tells us that there’s a spiritual glow about the children of God. That radiance
of divine energy is sparked off by the presence of the Holy Spirit and can be
seen on the believer. This means, you’re not empty for there’s power inside
you; you actually radiate some divine energy from within you into your world.

When your spirit is aglow with the power of God you’ll be
able to influence people around you for Jesus. However, one of the devil’s
strategies is to neutralize that radiance of the Spirit. He’ll stop at nothing
until he has dowsed your fire and stopped your influence in your environment. Since
he couldn’t stop you from coming to Christ, he’ll work to ensure you join the
“Silent Majority”. The “silent majority” are those…

Prosperity is spiritual, progress in life is spiritual as
well and these two don’t happen by chance or by coincidence. You prosper and
make progress when you’re connected with God; that divine contact is all you
need. One of the ways to make this contact or connection is through
partnership.

God loves partnership. In fact, He designed partnership. He
initiated the first partnership ever recorded, in the Garden of Eden, when He
created man to have dominion over the rest of His creation. We’re still in
partnership with Him today. Romans 8:17 says that He has made us joint heirs
together with Christ and He further called us “…..partakers of the divine
nature….” 2 Peter 1:4.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ Our
Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9).in other words, God has called us…

There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1)

According to
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome “I encountered a Christian woman recently who, on
account of certain misfortune she suffered over a period of time, came to the
conclusion that her predicament was the result of a curse. She wanted to know
from me if it was possible for a Christian to be under a curse. I explained to
her from the Word that a Christian can’t be under a curse because the Bible
says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, that if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation,
superior to satan; and so cannot be under a curse”.

A Christian
is called to inherit a blessing and not a curse (1Peter 3:9). This was the
promise of God

Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth,
is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself,
but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things
to come (John 16:13)

One of the
things you must do throughout this year is to yield to the Holy Spirit and
follow His guidance and counsel in all your dealings. No other personality in
this life is worth following but the Holy Spirit. He’s the greatest friend and
teacher you could ever know; he’s the One called alongside to go with you, and
to be with you and in you! He’s the One who guides you into all truth and
brings His Word to your remembrance.

Following
the Holy Spirit means yielding yourself to Him through the Word of God. You
cannot follow the Holy Spirit…

And now abideth faith, hope, love,
these three, but the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Faith, Hope
and Love are the three creative principles of the human spirit. They are also
abiding principles, as indicated in our opening verse. This means that when all
else fail, these tree principles will remain; they’ll never pass away.

Animals
don’t have and can’t exhibit these principles, for they are qualities of the
human spirit. They are factors that help us understand and appreciate the
yearnings of the human nature. They help explain why we are the way we are, and
why we do things the way we do. When you get to understand faith, hope, and
love, you’ll understand yourself much better and also understand things about
God that you never knew.

Like all
laws, these three principles of faith, hope, and love don’t function on…

JESUS LOVES YOU! GOD LOVES YOU!  PLEASE SAY “NO” TO CASUAL SEX

Casual sex destroys one’s destiny. Nothing destroys
destinies as much as illicit sex.

Casual sex is any sex outside of marriage. If you are not
married, it is called fornication. If you are married, it is called adultery.

Sex between two men, or two women, is homosexuality, and
lesbianism. The Bible says fornication, adultery, and homosexuality are sin (Romans
1:22-32) (Galatians 5:19). And the wages of sin is death.

Sexual sin has six warheads, so if one fails, another could
succeed, and they all ultimately lead to death and destruction. (Romans 1:27).
They are:

• Unwanted pregnancy
• Abortion
• Self worthlessness
• Sexually Transmitted infections
• Strange covenants,  soul ties and transfers of strange spirits
• HIV/AIDS

Please do not start dating until you are ready to settle
down for marriage; if you are…

HOLY SPIRIT CAN HELP YOU TODAY

But as many as
received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name (John 1:12).

As Moses was growing up in the house of Pharaoh, he
perceived that he would be Israel’s deliverer and he began to think of how to
accomplish this mission; how to bring his people out of the bondage of slavery.
He got an idea and soon began working on it. He decided to take the Egyptians
out, one by one. He started out and killed the first one. He however didn’t
have the opportunity to kill the next one before trouble came and he had to
escape from Egypt.

It’s possible you’re in the same situation as Moses was. Everything
around you points towards the direction of unfulfilled dream. You…

Angel PowerConfession

Because I am the righteousness of God, angels have been sent to minister to me. They respond to the Word of God which I speak. Therefore, I loose angels with the words of my mouth.

I say today, let the Lord be magnified who takes pleasure in my prosperity. In the name of Jesus, I command the angels to bring to me prosperity in my spirit, in my home, in my body, in my family life, and in my finances.

I declare promotion and command the angels to bring promotion into my life. I have a blood-bought covenant promise from God Almighty to multiply exceedingly. Therefore, I confess I am exceedingly fruitful and blessed, right now, in Jesus’ name! I command the angels of God to go and bring this covenant to pass in my life now! I have the power to…

WHOSOEVER DESIRES TO BECOME GREAT AND THE FIRST AMONG YOU,
LET HIM BE YOUR SERVANT AND YOUR SLAVE. (MATTHEW 20:26-27)

Selfless Service – A key to
Greatness!

“…………Whosoever desires to become great among you, let him be your
servant; and whosoever desires to be the first among you, let him be your
slave.” (Matthew 20:26-27)

Our opening scripture underscores
the responsibility of service – selfless service – as key to greatness! Today,
the Lord is letting us know that whoever must be great should be a servant –
One who serves or run errands for others; one who renders selfless service.

You’ve been called to service;
both of God and of mankind. God is mindful of, and concerned about, people more
than anything else. Thus, when you serve people through your work , the Lord
will be mindful of you and bless you as…

A WINNING MINDSET.

You need to have a mind-set of
winners if you want to rise above failure and limitations in life. Stop making
excuses and blaming everyone for your problems. No doubt, your present
challenges might be traceable to negative circumstances surrounding your life.
Nevertheless, that should not in any way deter you from achieving success or
financial prosperity. There are probably a dozen reasons why you should settle
for mediocrity and failure. Such excuses could include; I am an orphan. My parents
are very poor. The government has no social welfare for indigent youths. I
don’t have a university degree. I come from a broken home. I am a teenage
mother. I am too young; I come from a minority group. I am a college dropout.
My mother is a prostitute. My father is the devil incarnate etc. Well, I do
empathize with you…
