God cannot disappoint you, His faithfulness is forever sure. Hope and Faithfulness
Hope links with the future. Moreover, there is a link between hope and God because He is the One who controls tomorrow. Anyone in charge of tomorrow is definitely able to uphold hope.
Revelation 1:8 says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty”.
Hope is linked with tomorrow and God is the One who holds tomorrow. Do not let any man deceive you: no man holds tomorrow except God. This is why James warns against boasting about tomorrow while acknowledging that we need God – the one in control of tomorrow – to enter into tomorrow of our dreams (James 4:13-16). Many who bragged about tomorrow never lived to see it.
Another way God is linked with hope is through His faithfulness. Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that loves Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.”
God is extremely faithful. The quality of His faithfulness in keeping promises and agreements is unparalleled. There are some people around us who make simple promises that they can easily fulfil yet, they fail to fulfil them because they lack the discipline in faithfulness.
Putting all your hope in an unfaithful man can lead to great embarrassment and loss when the fellow suddenly disappoints you at a crucial time.
God cannot disappoint you! Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?”
God doesn’t only keep covenants but He is the greatest covenant keeper as He can fulfil His promise to an individual or a family for up to a thousand generations!
What a wonderful God we serve!
May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
Lamentations_3-22: It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins” (Isa. 43:25).
“I guess I’m just paying for the life I lived before I got saved,” a minister who was having a hard time once said to me.
Many Christians, like that minister, are defeated, permitting things to take place in their lives, because they think that’s the way it has to be. They don’t know the difference between repentance and doing penance.
They try to do penance for their past life. But in reality, since they repented of their sins, God has no knowledge that they’ve ever done anything wrong!
“I blotted out your transgression,” God said, “for My own sake.” God didn’t do it for your sake, but for His own sake. “I will not remember your sins,” He promised. If God doesn’t remember them, why should you?
You shouldn’t!
When you were born again, you were redeemed from the penalty of sin. If you had to go on paying for your wrongdoing, you’d have to go to hell when you died, because that’s part of the penalty too.
However, thank God, we are redeemed not only from the power of sin, but also from the penalty of sin. Jesus took our place. He suffered the penalty of sin.
Confession: When I repented, my Heavenly Father blotted out my transgressions. He does not remember my sins. Therefore, I won’t remember them either. And I won’t remind Him of them.

“And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 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.” Matthew 4:3-4 (KJV)
Jesus didn’t need to prove anything before God said He was His beloved Son. God wasn’t telling a lie because God is not a liar, but the devil is. The devil showed up after God had spoken and said to Jesus: Do you want to believe God? No, don’t ever believe God! The devil intended to put doubt in His heart, but Jesus has already read in Deuteronomy 8:3 that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
The devil was trying to force Jesus to depend on bread other than the word. Jesus said I have a solid foundation already, so I don’t need to doubt. He went ahead to tell Satan what was written. In other words, Satan, before you came, it was already written that man will not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from God’s mouth. So, you are late already. One would have thought that the devil would leave Jesus alone. No! He returned and said to Jesus that you are being deceived and that you are the son of God. This time, the devil goes spiritual and says since you are quoting the Bible, I will also quote from the Bible. “Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God cast thyself down…” (Matthew 4:5-6).
Beloved, you must be established and rooted in the word so that the devil will not deceive you. Know exactly what God has said and stand by it. Many charlatans, false prophets, and thieves in cassocks are deceiving people. Have nothing to do with them. Keep standing on what is written, just as Jesus did.

God makes everything beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The pursuit of the vanities of this world has robbed many people of far greater and better blessings from God. It is not bad to want to achieve something great or pursue a good cause, but if you try to outrun God, you may never achieve that goal, and worse still, you may pay for it with something very precious to you. God knows your desires; in fact, it is likely that He is the one who put them there. He knows the best times and the best ways for those desires to be accomplished, so, don’t try to act smarter than the One who made your brain.
Years ago, I was duped by a man who promised to make me a commandant of a paramilitary group. This man had been sending messages to me through my secretary for a while, and so, one day, I gave him audience. He explained to me how a Boy-Scouts-like group had evolved into this new agency, and that he was sourcing for who would lead the group spiritually. Normally, I ask God before getting involved in anything at all, but this time, my love for the military in my younger days beclouded my best instincts, and I agreed to be their head. He told me that they needed some funding, which I gave as the prospective head. However, I later found out that the man was a fake. My desire to be part of a paramilitary group made me run ahead of God, but God had already purposed for Redemption City to have its own corps of chaplains as well as a local Police post. He knew the desire of my heart, and He had planned for it to be fulfilled in His own time. I thought that I could bring my desire to fulfilment at my own time, but I was wrong. What I lost in that experience was money, but for someone else, it might have been their life or a loved one.
The Bible makes it clear that God delights in our well-being and prosperity (Psalm 35:27), (3 John 1:2). Therefore, it is not wrong to desire wealth. He will definitely make you prosper, but in His own time. Beloved, follow God’s timing; don’t try to outrun Him.

The fact that you are a Christian does not in any way take romance out of your marriage. Marriage is the only institution where romance and intimacy is allowed between a man and a woman. Some pastors hardly go on dates with their spouses because they consider such a romantic activity as a distraction from their focus on spiritual matters. Some of them don’t even play with their spouses anymore. Beloved, the anointing does not reduce the need for romance in marriage.
Isaac was an anointed man of God and a successful businessman, yet in Genesis 26:8, the Bible says he was being romantic with his wife: And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. Don’t become too rigid in your marriage; don’t have more fun elsewhere without your spouse. Make the times that you and your spouse spend together so much fun that you are always looking forward to seeing each other again. If you are married, remember how you used to talk for long hours with your spouse before you got married and had children; revive that relationship again. Your spouse is still the same fellow you were very fond of, and the things you loved in him or her are still there. Don’t let all the cares of this life distract you from the gems in your spouse.
Once in a while, compose a poem for your spouse and read it to him or her in a romantic setting. Spice things up with pleasant surprises every now and then. Write a note and put it in his or her bag so that when they get to the office and open their bag, they will see the note and smile. Have a pet name that you call each other behind closed doors. Up until today, there is a pet name my wife calls me when we are alone. I equally have a pet name that I call her, and every time I call her by that name, she cannot but smile at me lovingly. When we are alone, we are lovers, not Daddy G.O and Mummy G.O. Your marriage can be like heaven on earth if you and your spouse are deliberate about remaining the lovebirds that you were when you first got married.
Don’t let the romance die.

MEMORISE: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm 51:17
READ: 1 Samuel 15:1-15
1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
MESSAGE
Amongst the people you find in church, some are unto honor while others are unto dishonor, as we see in 2 Timothy 2:20:
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
God, however, is not the One who makes some vessels unto honor and others unto dishonor. Rather, people, based on their behavior toward God and His instructions, choose for themselves if they will be unto honor or unto dishonor.
There are many people who say that since God is merciful, and His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22- 23), they can commit sin multiple times and ask Him for mercy multiple times. Therefore, they commit sin purposely, trusting that when they ask for mercy, God will have mercy. Some even say things like, “God, forgive me for what I am about to say.” They know it is a sin, but they ask for forgiveness and go ahead to say it. People like this are trying to make a fool out of the Most High God and will become vessels unto dishonor if they do not repent.
The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Even if a Christian gives a big sacrifice or worships God deeply, if his or her heart is still in a sinful state, the wages of sin remain death.
In today’s Bible reading, God told Saul to kill all the Amalekites, but he decided to play on God’s intelligence by saying that it was the people who brought the king of Amalek and the choice animals back with them to Israel. We see the result of the disobedience in 1 Samuel 15:28:
And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou.
Saul begged Samuel to let him worship God, but it was not out of true repentance. He only did that because he did not want to be embarrassed in the presence of his followers. In the next chapter, you will see that as much as Samuel pleaded on his behalf, God still asked him to anoint a new king as his replacement. God later sent an evil spirit to torment Saul, as he had become a vessel unto dishonor.
Beloved, be careful. Don’t toy with sin, and don’t try to play on God’s intelligence so that you don’t end up like Saul.
REFLECTION
Do you still indulge in the things that God has been warning you about? Beware, so that you don’t become a vessel unto dishonour.
PRAYER POINTS

A house is built by wisdom, and it is established by understanding. By knowledge, the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. – Proverbs 24:3-4
Invite God To Your Home.
Be the designated priest at home. Welcome God every morning. No matter what issues you had the previous day, tap into God’s grace for today. His mercies are new every morning (Lam 3:22-23).
God is the designer of the family. Let Him sit on the throne of your home. Say like Joshua, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord – Jos 24:15.” A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
A home where God lives is full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal 5:22-23). A loving family stays together, eats together, and prays together.
A home that is full of anger, fighting, jealousy, hatred, drunkenness, extramarital affairs and consults witches is a playground for demons – it is hell on earth and hell thereafter (Gal 5:19-21).
Don’t allow the enemy to operate in your home. Don’t give place to the evil one. Shut the door, keep out that ancient evil serpent. Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you (Jas 4:7).

The Second coming of Christ is an event that will surely take place after the following:
(I) Rapture
(ii) The Great Tribulation
(iii) The war of Armageddon and
(iv) The Millennial Reign.
After the Rapture of the Church, the scriptures predict that there is going to be a seven years Worldwide troubles called the Tribulation Dan 9:26-27 It is going to be the most awful time in the entire world’s history. Matt 24:21 These are going to be the days in which all calamities, oppression, distress, hopelessness etc predicted by Moses, Joel, Daniel and other prophets as well as those predicted by our Saviour, will meet in one common centre, and are going to be fulfilled in most terrible manner on this generation Luke 21:22. The question arises: Why is God going to allow such a severely perilous time to come upon the World? We shall be discussing these as we progress in this teaching. Zeph 1:14-17. The Great Tribulation is also called the time of Jacob’s trouble: Jer 30: 7, Deut 31:16-18, Dan 9:26, Joel 2:2 Sin is the cause of Jacob’s trouble
OUTLINE 1
What is the Tribulation?
Tribulation means a time of trouble. There are different kinds of tribulations mentioned in the Bible which refer to hardships, trials and all sorts of sufferings that Believers of Christ may encounter in their lives. Deut 4:30-31, Matt 13:21.
The Bible teaches us that those who follow Christ and God’s words and His commandments may face tribulations. He promises that He will not forsake nor destroy them in times of trials and tribulations. Examples of some who suffered trials and tribulations in the Bible are Joseph, Ruth, Daniel, Jeremiah, Job, Peter and even our Lord Jesus Christ. Each of them experienced forms of suffering, testing their faith and resilience. John 16:33
The Tribulation:
Is a relatively short period of seven years where everyone left behind after the Rapture will face worldwide hardship, persecution, disaster, famine, wars, pains and suffering.
When will it happen?
The tribulation will begin after the rapture of the church (saints) and the revelation of the Antichrist: 2 Thess 2:3-7, Dan 9:20-27. The first three and half years will be the full manifestation of the Antichrist, during which he shall make covenant with Israel. Dan 9:27. The second three and half years will be time of unprecedented trouble. The Antichrist will break the covenant with Israel and practice abominable desolution of the temple. Dan 11:35, Matt 24:15,16.
OUTLINE 2
What are the effects of Tribulation?
Listed below are some of the events that the world will experience during tribulation of the Antichrist.
1. A period of darkness and gloominess, a day of cloud and darkness. Zeph 1:15 (men will literally work like blind men).
2. The mountains and Island will move. Rev 6:14
3. The Oceans will become blood Rev 8:8-9; one third of all the sea life will die. In addition, one third of all the ships will be destroyed.
4. Freshwater supplies will be affected. They will become bitter and cause many people to die Rev 8:10-11.
5. Stars of heaven will fall out of the sky to the earth. Rev 6:13
CONCLUSION:
The Tribulation is a time of deception by false teachers, and the Antichrist claiming “I am the Christ”. Nations will rise against nations, wars and rumours of war. A time of global economic devastation, disorder, disease etc. but those who have received Christ as their Lord, and personal Saviour, keeping themselves Holy until He comes, shall be delivered through rapture from the days of Tribulation, until His second coming.
Praise the Lord!

1. If they really love you, they will honor you. DISHONOR leads to dismissal.
2. You cannot sow “DISHONOR” seed & call it a “just being honest” seed. You may not know the difference but your harvest will.
3. If a person disrespects you, no matter how much you love them ,don’t let them DISHONOR you for too long. Know when to walk away.
4. NEVER DISHONOR those that have come before you, even if you disagree with them. DISHONOR is the response of a fool.
5. Disrespect is the quickest way to experience disconnect. Favor is often erased by DISHONOR. Disrespect can turn connection into rejection.
6. Even if you don’t respect a person, it still doesn’t mean you should DISHONOR them. Sometimes honor is deserved, even when respect is not.
7. Social networking sometimes blurs the lines of respect. Its the place where common feels equal to kingship & DISHONOR is often the result.
8. Don’t ever reward DISHONOR with Gifts, Your Time, or Your Attention! Cut it Loose!
9. DISHONOR isn’t always about what you did or said, it can be something you didn’t do or say.
10. When they treat you with DISHONOR, still carry yourself with honor. Don’t give their actions the reaction they are looking for.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
The ability to see, with both eyes, an object clearly from twenty feet away is referred to as 20/20 vision. (In Europe, it is called 6/6 since they use a distance of six meters instead of twenty feet.) While not everyone has 20/20 vision, it is often said that hindsight is always 20/20. That is, we may not be able to see everything clearly as it happens, but after the fact we can see things much more clearly.
While hindsight is not always perfect, from a biblical perspective it means that we sometimes have to wait to see what God’s purpose was in allowing something to happen. There are certainly enough biblical examples to prove that premise. Job, Joseph, David, Daniel, Esther, Paul, and others were puzzled at what God allowed to happen in their lives—but soon came to see God’s hand at work. Especially Esther who saved the Jewish people from genocide in Persia.
When God allows circumstances in your life, the purpose of which is not clear, remember the examples and promises of Scripture: “All things work together for good.”

“….For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my Word…. ” [ISAIAH 66 v 1- 5].
Welcome to a season of New Dawn. Beloved, thank God we gather to study the Word and tremble at it in Jesus name. That’s where the transformation, reformation and regeneration comes from as we hears the Word and applies it in our lives as it brings the miraculous over our situations in Jesus name.
In Daniel 1 v 1 -10,we read about Ashpenaz – the prince of the eunuch. Another striking feature in him was that he feared the King to the extent of not taking lightly any instruction or command from him. You too are in the service of a king, but this time the KING of kings.
To what extent do you fear GOD? Your level of fear of God is not determined by your confession or pretentious acts but by your attitude to His Word in Jesus Christ precious name.
“….For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my Word….” [ISAIAH 66 v 1-5]. God knows exactly how you react to His instructions. There are Christians who receive God’s Word trembling in fear and reverence.
They will immediately write them down and regularly take a look at it as they take steps in obedience. But there are those who take God’s Word or voice with no seriousness.
They do not count it important enough to be written down. They may even trivialize it and before long forget it. How do you receive God’s Word? Do you tremble at His word or discuss away while the word is coming?
In DANIEL 1:5, 10, we are told that there was a daily provision made for those being prepared to stand in the Babylonian Palace. Ashpenaz ensured that nothing short of that provision was daily given to the trainees. When Daniel turned down the provision, Ashpenaz showed great concern.
In the same way, God, the KING of kings has a daily provision, message or word for His children. For each service in Church, there is a message from God. It is the duty of the Pastor-in. -charge to receive that message and deliver it to the congregation.
If you fail to do so, they will have stunted growth and be unable to stand shoulder high with their fellow believers from other churches or ministries. Ashpenaz feared that he could be in danger if the trainees fell short of the expectations of the King.
What care do you show concerning the flocks today? Don’t you know that as a leader who failed to nourish the congregation, your employment with the KING of kings is endangered? Adjust your attitude to God’s word today in Jesus name.
Dear friend, if you tremble at God’s word, enemies, situations and circumstances will tremble at your word in Jesus Christ amazing name and being on top of their influences and control in Jesus name-Amen- Shalom.

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.
