You are God’s peculiar treasure, please know your worth in
CHRIST JESUS

“I hate myself”.
“There is nothing good in me.” Have you ever met folks who talk this way?
Such people sometime wouldn’t even look at themselves in the mirror anymore.  It’s a pity that many people don’t know their
worth. It’s your responsibility to know what you’re worth; to discover the
treasure God has placed in you, and use it to beautify your life.

The Bible says, “For
we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). So you see,
you’re God’s best and He wants you to discover the treasures He has deposited
in you. He gave you the necessary material which is the Word so you can live in
glory.

It’s your responsibility to discover your worth by studying

GOD EMBRACES OUR IMPERFECTIONS, THAT’S WHY JESUS CAME AND
DIED FOR US

God understands our imperfection, that’s why He sent His only
begotten son Jesus Christ, to redeem us from every condemnation (Romans 8:1; 3)

The popular little
story below illustrates it all:

“When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast
food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when
she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long
ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in
front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad
did was to reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and asked me how my day was at
school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but…

PRAYER OF SALVATION.BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN! A CHILD OF GOD!

Dear Heavenly Father! I come to You in the Name of Jesus
Christ Your only begotten Son. Your Word says, “…..whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts
2:21).

I ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart to be the Lord of
my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit and according to Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt…

Without the
miraculous the cross of Christ would lose its impact and become another dead
religion. This would bring the cross of Christ to the realm of reason and
argument. If this were to be, then the Word of God could only be delivered by
orators. True Christianity however is in the demonstration of the Spirit and of
Power. Anything short of this is substandard. ‘

Several
years ago, I heard TL Osborn tell his great inspirational story. He was a
missionary in India with his wife. They ministered to thousands of Hindus,
Moslems and several other people who had never heard the gospel of Jesus
Christ, but they weren’t winning as many people as they had anticipated. The
more they tried the lesser the result they had. Frustrated, TL Osborn and his
wife went back to America. He decided to study the Bible like he had…

God said to Abraham
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee….”
(Genesis 12:3). Isn’t that ironic! Because of Abraham the blessings of God will
come upon a man. On the other hand, the lot of another man because of Father
Abraham is curse. Anyone who comes against you has positioned himself under a
curse and as such he’ll live in misery the rest of his life. It makes no
difference if it’s one person, two, ten, twenty or more people; they are all
operating under a sealed fate.

This is why you
should be very careful about the things you say about any man of God. Sadly, some
Christians have constituted themselves to be critics of some kind in the house
of God; they are apt to criticize men whom God has anointed. These people would
only get…

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT.

God’s divine power
has already given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Note
that this scripture (2 Peter 1:2-3) is in the present perfect tense; therefore
it’s not a promise. This means that God has already done it; His divine power
has already given us all things that we need to live the good and prosperous
life. Praise God, all my needs are met and I have no reason to lack anything in
life! No wonder the Psalmist said, “The
Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1).

You must copy or imitate his mentality. You shouldn’t lack
for the Lord is now your Shepherd. He makes you lie down in green pastures, He
leads you beside the still waters, and He restores your soul (Psalm 23:3).

Refuse to…

MIRACLE! WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT

God told Abraham to get up and look beyond the horizon,
because he was going to receive as far as his eyes could see. The man who was
healed of blindness at Bethsaida made a very striking statement before his
sight was completely restored. He said he saw men as trees, walking (Mark
8:22-26).

What you see is dependent on how you see what you see. You
could say, “My money is reducing fast,” or “I still have some money.” You could
also say, “My brother is sick” or “My brother is recovering”.

Jesus instructed the blind man to look up, and placed His
hands on his eyes again and he was restored, totally healed. You might be
praying earnestly for something without getting results. It’s time to look up
and say, “I will lift up my eyes to…

THE BIBLE: SUBMIT TO GOD’S LEADERSHIP AND GOD’S AUTHORITY

You’re the product of the information to which you expose
yourself. You’re the result of the leadership to which you submit yourself.
There are different forms of leadership in the world, but there’s only one
which is of God; that’s the leadership of the Word of God.

Some people listen and hearken to all sort of information,
refusing to be guided by God’s Word. Most of such people are ruled by their
senses and therefore estranged from God. The Bible says, “They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children
of God…” (Romans 9:8). Whenever you open yourself to unrestricted
information, you’re bound to yield to all kinds of worldly advice, which are
void of the revelation of God’s Word.

You must make up your mind that God’s Word would be the…

BE ENCOURAGED; GOD IS WITH YOU

Have not I commanded
thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest (Joshua 1:9)

The story is often told of a man who went on a journey with
God. Though he couldn’t see God physically, he could see God’s footprints in
the sand as they walked together. So each time he saw that extra pair of
footprints, he knew the Lord was with him.

On the way, things got harder and harder, and he experienced
turbulent moments as they journeyed, “I’m
supposed to be on this journey with God, how come things have gotten so rough
and tough?” he queried. So, he looked to check if God was still there, and
saw only one set of footprints and cried out: “Lord, where…

GOD IS MORE WILLING TO GIVE TO YOU, THAN YOU’RE WILLING TO
RECEIVE!

And it came to pass,
when He was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus
fell on his face, and besought Him, saying, LORD, if thou wilt, thou canst make
me clean (Luke 5:12)

There’re lots of people today whose mindset is like that of
the leper in the scripture above. They know God has the power to do anything
for them but they’re not sure He’s willing to grant them the miracle they
greatly desire. “I don’t know if it’s
God’s will to heal me,” they’ll say, and then run to the doctor for help!

Notice that the leper didn’t question the power of God. He
knew God had the power to heal him. He had heard about Jesus the Healer, so he
wasn’t questioning…

BECOME A HIGH – FLYER IN JESUS NAME! SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE!
INTIMACY WITH GOD!

Progress can be in stages; from walking to running to
flying, Isaiah 40:31. The best of course is flying tirelessly like an eagle.
And the Bible says that is possible for those who wait upon the Lord.

Walking is steady, systematic progress. Running on the other
is rapid, steady progress. Whereas flying contains elements of sudden explosive
progress. (Mk.4:3-8; Mt 25:14-28; Acts 3:1-8; 1 Sam.17:34-37; 1 Sam 2:8; 1 Sam
16:11-13; Lk 5:1-17, Acts 5:14-16).

The secret of being a spiritual high flyer is intimacy with
Christ Jesus. Paul who moved from being an antichrist to an apostle spent
quality time in prayers and was so intimate with Christ. And since intimacy
requires mutual agreement, anyone who wants to be intimate with God must be
holy. (Jn 15:15; 1…

HOW WATERED IS YOUR TREE? THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIRT (LOVE,
JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, SELF CONTROL)

The easiest way to identify an apple tree is to check its
fruits. In the same way, the Christian is identified by the fruit he or she
bears. The Lord Jesus said, “Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by
the kind of fruits produced” (Matthew 7:20TLB) and how true this statement is!

The fruits you bear must be an evidence of the Zoe; the God –
life in you. In other words, your life is the product of the influence of the
Holy Spirit in your spirit. Love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control as itemized in Galatians
5:22-23, are the fruit of the recreated human spirit; one that’s fashioned in

ONCE GOD ANOINTS YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT NOTHING CAN STOP
YOU!

Once God anoints you with the Holy Spirit nothing can stop
you anymore. The anointing maybe unseen and unheard, nevertheless you can see
what the anointing does.

The anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit that rests on
a man. It brings the glory of God upon your life and gives you direction in
life. When that anointing rests on you. It’ll change you from an ordinary man
to a supernatural being: “And it shall
come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy
shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed
because of the anointing” (Isaiah 10:27).

The anointing imparts authority to your words and brings
grace into your life causing you to walk in divine favour. Things just…

Likewise the Spirit
also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we
ought: but the Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which
cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26)

Some people
become so overwhelmed by their problems that they find it difficult to pray. As
a child of God, you should never find yourself in such a situation. But if that’s
where you are, I want you to know the Holy Spirit can help you out of the
quagmire.

When everything
around you is going the wrong direction and you don’t know what to do anymore,
the Holy Spirit is there to help you. Romans 8:26 says, “…….God’s Spirit is
right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it
doesn’t matter. He (The Holy Spirit) does our praying in and for us…..” (MSG).
