Never give up attitude

Dear Friend,

There has never been a greater opportunity for the church of Jesus Christ to shine with the glory of the Lord. However, we must make certain we develop a “never give
up” attitude. Proverbs 24:16 “for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises
again…”

In every circumstance of life there are choices to be made. You must decide what
you will do in times of crisis, when you make a mistake, or when you experience
failure. It’s not about falling, it’s about rising again. Your enemy is intimidated
by your tenacity to never quit and to never give up.

So today I boldly decree your attitude is right, your faith is focused, and you
are expressing the reality that satan cannot win if I don’t quit. Hallelujah!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us…

Stray Temptation

“Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure”. 1 Timothy 5:22

It will shock you to know that it is easier to manage lack and hardship than to manage abundance and pleasure. If you live in single room in a “face-me-I-face-you” building (Buildings with multiple tenants of low-income class), it is easier for you to wake up and pray even at night than when you live in an expensively furnished bedroom with water bed in a mansion overseeing the sea. When you want to get up to pray in such a house, the comfort of the bed will motivate you to sleep some more. Before you know it, it will be dawn. Let us take the case of David as an example (2 Samuel 11:1;12:14). While David was being chased from cave to cave…

Leave it all in God’s Hands

God is All Powerful

“He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, I am trusting Him.” (Psalm 9:12).

Looking back at historical events, we can see how God protected people in the past. When Napoleon’s massive French army was preparing to attack Feldkirch, a little town on the Austrian border, the citizens didn’t know what to do. When they spotted soldiers on the heights above the little town, a council of citizens was hastily summoned to decide whether the townspeople should try to defend themselves or display the white flag of surrender.
That fateful day happened to be Easter Sunday, so the townspeople gathered in the local church, as was their custom. The pastor rose and said, “Friends, we have been counting on our own strength, and apparently that has…

The Body Of Christ

READ:1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. —1 Corinthians 12:22

The number of people who run a business out of their homes is in the millions. But some have found that working alone can be a little too lonely. To give these lonely ones a community, “co-working” spaces have been designed. Large facilities are rented out where people working by themselves can share space with others. They have their own work area but can exchange ideas with fellow independent workers. It’s for those who feel they can work better together than they do alone.

Sometimes Christians think they work better alone. But we are meant to work together with others in the church. Every Christian has been placed into “The Body Of Christ” (1…

Engraved in God’s Heart

The finger of God is an agent of creation and a mark of God’s authority. They were also used in writing His laws. Deuteronomy 9:9-11 says God wrote the Ten Commandments with His finger on tablets of stone. Every author writes a book or put words and sentences together in order to convey certain ideas or opinions for others to read. The fact that God wrote the Ten Commandments with His own fingers established the fact that He and not Moses is the Author. God not only writes on stones, He writes on men. After Cain killed his brother Abel and God judged him, he requested for a reduction in the punishment, being scared that anyone who sights him might kill him. As a result, God wrote on him – He put a mark of “Untouchable” on him so that anyone who saw him from…

Because of Who God Is

Proverbs 30:4-5: “Who has mastered heavenly knowledge? Who has ever caught the wind in His hand? Or wrapped up water in a piece of cloth? Or fixed the boundaries of the earth? Who is He, if you know? Who is His son? God keeps every promise He makes. He is like a shield for all who seek His protection”
An average believer makes a casual commitment to God and
serves Him only because of what He can do for them. Let us never
forget WHO HE IS! He is THEMIGHTY GOD and deserves reverence and
full devotion. It’s time to make the adjustments and serve Him
because of Who He is.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And…

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me. —Psalm 27:10

READ:Psalm 27:1-10

Culled from: http://www.odb.org

Years ago, when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley, I developed a friendship with a fellow student who had suffered a terrible loss. His child had died and his wife had left him because she couldn’t deal with the pain.

One day, as my friend and I were walking down the street, we found ourselves behind a dishevelled mother with a grubby little boy in hand. She was angry at the child and was walking much too fast, towing him at a pace his little legs couldn’t maintain.

We reached a busy intersection where the child abruptly stopped and…

From Hot For Christ To Dead To Christ

I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth! You say, “I am rich and well off; I have all I need”. But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind.
Revelation 3:15-17

The word “Spit” means to vomit you up. In order to vomit something, you
had to have ingested it at some point. It was in you. It was part of
you, but it became so troubling to you that it had to come out.

This church is prosperous and has allowed its prosperity to dull it. Many times…

Delight yourself in The Lord
 

Psalm 37:4: “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart”

 
So many Christians are preoccupied with fulfilling their purpose in life. Rather than looking for the purpose, PURPOSE TO PLEASE THE LORD.

Delight yourself in Him and He will unveil that which He has called you to do! Amen!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!

King of kings

What make a king different from other people? Although a king looks just like any other person yet he is not an ordinary person. One difference is that everything he touches becomes unique. If an ordinary person sits on a chair, it remains a chair no matter how flamboyantly designed it is, but if a king sits on a chair, it becomes a throne. When an ordinary person wears a cap, it remains a cap, but when a king wears a cap, it becomes a crown. Walking stick in the hands of an ordinary fellow has no special value, but if that same walking stick is found in the hands of a king, it becomes a staff of office. One of the titles of our Lord is KING of kings. This is an amazing title because it carries His brethren along. That is, if you…

This is love; not that we loved God, but that He loved us. John 4:10

Love never fails!

Wait a minute, no one has unfailing love! No person can love with perfection.

That’s right. But God is not a person. Unlike our love, His love never fails! God’s love is immensely different from ours. Ours depends on the receiver of the love. Our love will be regulated by appearance or by personality. Even when we find a few people we like, our feelings will still fluctuate.

Does God love us because of our goodness? Because of our kindness? Because of our great faith?

No. He loves us because of HIS goodness, kindness, and great faith. The love of God is born from within Him, not from what He finds in us. His love is uncaused, spontaneous. God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so! Hallelujah!

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

All Your Needs!
If God has promised this, then why are so many Christians living in lack? If God wants His children to prosper, then why are so many living in poverty? I want to share with you a way to have all your needs met-not in heaven, but here, now, in this life-not some of your needs,
but all, every one of them. A seed will meet any need, but just as a farmer watches over his seed, so you must do something to guarantee yourself a harvest.
You have a part to play in your prosperity. You can’t live any way you want or do anything you feel like doing and expect God to pour out a blessing on you. God requires of you three things so that…

Healing is a Fact
 

A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
Matthew 8:2-3
Many Christians are suffering needlessly with sickness and disease. They don’t realize that healing has already been provided for them. Healing is not a promise from God but an established fact-for the Word of God says that “by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
The problem is that perfect faith cannot exist where the will of God is not known. How can people have faith that God wants to heal them if they don’t know the will of God concerning their healing? The truth is that unbelief will prevent you from…

Woe unto You, Scribes and Pharisees (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

About Those Scribes

Luke 6:7, “And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day, that they might find an accusation against him.”

MATTHEW 12:1-14; MARK 2:23-3:6; LUKE 6:1-11

The scribes were copyists of the Holy Scriptures. They preserved in written form the oral law, and faithfully handed down the Hebrew Scriptures. In New Testament times, they were students, interpreters, and teachers of the Old Testament. Their functions regarding the law were to teach it, develop it, and use it in any connection with the Sanhedrin and various local courts. They were ambitious for honour, which they demanded, especially from their pupils, as well as from the general public. This homage was readily granted them (Mt. 23:5-11).

Ezra was a scribe…

God Will Not Bless Your Mess

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction
and perdition
1 Timothy 6:9
Paul did not say that this would happen to those who are rich. He said
that this would happen to those who crave, lust after, and chase
riches.
There are two systems: God’s prosperity that comes when you chase after
God, and God causes abundance to chase after you; and the world’s
prosperity that results from chasing after money because you really
don’t know God.
You cannot know God and still act like the world, chasing after things,
lusting after things or buying things simply because you want what
someone else has. You have to discipline your flesh. God will not bless
your mess. As long as you violate Scripture, He is…

How awesome is God‘s Word

Ezra 1:1

“Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,”
NKJV

When you look throughout the Bible, you will find amazing accuracy when it comes to history. What’s even more amazing is that many times the history we read in the Bible was actually spoken of before it happened. In the passage above, we read how God was stirring King Cyrus to help Israel. This is an awesome fact in and of itself but when we look back, we realize that God had this planned long before.

Isaiah 44:28 “Who says…

Seek God Until You Find Him

Receiving Direction From God!

 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve
Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD
searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the
thoughts: if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee; but if thou
forsake Him, He will cast thee off forever
1 Chronicles 28:9
Often we read about how God responded to David and Moses when they were
in the middle of a situation. However, when Scripture says that God
intervened, it doesn’t necessarily mean that He moved immediately.
God expects you to seek Him. Go to the Word of God and study it. Then,
stay in your prayer closet long enough for your own thoughts to recede
and the mind of the Spirit takes precedence. Pray in

Christ, The Power And Wisdom Of God

1 Corinthians 1:24 “To those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

People today run after two things: miraculous signs and wonders, and knowledge. It was no different in Bible times. The apostle Paul acknowledged that “Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom”. (1 Corinthians 1:22)

So when Paul preached Christ crucified as God’s solution to them, the message was “to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness”. (1 Corinthians 1:23) They didn’t understand how getting a revelation of Jesus and His death could give them the miracles they needed or the wisdom they wanted.

Beloved, we don’t have to run after miracles or wisdom today. We just need to run after Jesus because He is “The Power of God…

Thank You Jesus

Thank Him Now!

He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities.

Isaiah 53:5, NIV

Perhaps thinking to satisfy the crowd’s thirst for blood without actually going so far as to execute Jesus, Pilate had Him flogged. The flogging would have ripped the flesh off of His back, exposing His internal organs. History records that flogging victims either passed into unconsciousness, went insane, or died. The miracle is not that Jesus survived the whipping, but that He submitted to it! How easy it would have been for Him to defy them and, without cursing but in righteous judgment, send them all to hell!

Why? Why would God allow His Son to endure such physical torture? The answer had been given years earlier, when Isaiah solemnly prophesied…
