Isaiah_40-31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint
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.

John_8-12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life
By Pastor Darasimi Oyor
You know, just some time ago, there was one particular evening. The light was out in the kitchen and it was quite difficult to fix something to eat. I just wanted something—something simple. So I just felt, okay, since it’s simple, I don’t need the light. I don’t need to get lights from anywhere, even though I know there was a lamp close by somewhere. So I just felt, ah, it’s just a simple snack. So in the dark, I was trying to put two and two together, trying to fix something. I know I was making a mess as well, but I felt, let me just quickly get over it and leave.
And as I was working, it hit me that—hold on—there was a lamp here, or there is a lamp here left by the help that we had. So why am I struggling if there’s actually a lamp in the kitchen? And all I had was just to look up. As I just looked up, I saw the lamp looking at me—switched off. And all I had was just to stretch my hand and turn it on. As soon as I did that, the kitchen was flooded with light. And as soon as that happened, a word just echoed in my mind: ignorance. Ignorance. My goodness—I didn’t have to think about it. It just came: ignorance.
And it hit me as well that so many of us enjoy messing up in the dark without acknowledging the light that we have. You know, the Lord will not come and open our Bibles and read it to us. He expects us to feed from the lights that He has made available. You know the scripture that says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge”—it’s very salient to the experience that I just recounted. Because I was literally making a mess in the kitchen, and I was still telling myself that it’s something quick. “Let me just quickly do it and leave this place. I don’t need to go out and start looking for the lamp.” The lamp was literally right there, and all I had to do was just to switch it on.
All we have to do is just to open the Bible and read. You know, I’m pretty sure if you can just be honest and ask yourself if you have a Bible in your house, I’m pretty sure you’d say yes, you do. Almost all of us have Bibles with us—in our phone, in our house. Even if you don’t have a Bible, you have a phone, and you can go to your iOS or to your Play Store and download the Bible. It is there, available for you. But so many of us—so many of us—literally blame God for every single thing that happens to us without just opening the Bible to read and to understand the power that we have in Christ as believers.
I’m talking to believers right now. You know, so many believers choose to stay in the dark. The scripture that says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge”—God says “My people.” His people. Which means these people—they are people of God. They are children of God. They are born again. But they still perish. Why? For lack of the light. For lack of knowledge. For lack of the knowledge of God’s Word.
So back to the lesson is that—please, don’t be like me and choose to remain in the dark. Because it’s just going to be to your disadvantage. Maybe due to laziness, or due to negligence, or due to ignorance. You’re not aware that the light has been made available for you. Please—it is available to you. Just open the Bible and relish God’s Word. God’s Word is spirit and life. Its spirit and life.
What does that mean? It means it has the ability to give life to whatever it comes in contact with. And God’s Word—it is dynamic in nature, which means it can talk to any situation and any circumstance it finds itself. So please, don’t be like me and don’t stay in the dark. Open God’s Word and let your life be flooded with light.
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.

Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.” – (Isaiah 60:1)
READ: 1 Kings 17:17-24
Every day, people see problems that they wish they could do something about. What if God could use you to bring a solution to every problem you encounter or make you the solution to that lingering issue in your family? If something terrible happens in your neighbourhood, can you say a simple prayer that will effect a change such that the people who were in sorrow will start rejoicing?
When the widow of one of the sons of the prophets came to Elisha because of her debt problem, she didn’t return home the same. Elisha opened her eyes to see that the solution she desperately needed was in her house. He showed her the secret to getting out of debt and living a financially independent life (2 Kings 4:1-7). Sometimes, becoming the solution to another person’s problem is not by giving them money but by opening their eyes to see what they have never paid attention to, empowering them with the correct knowledge and information to live a bondage-free life. Jesus said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life (John 14:6). Hence, the ultimate way to help people with problems is to introduce Him to them.
In today’s Bible reading, when the son of the widow died, she didn’t turn to the king for help. Instead, she turned to Elijah, and God used him to raise her dead son. If such a thing happened around you, do you have the capacity for God to provide such a solution through you? You may say, “Oh, I am not a prophet like Elijah.” However, there is no record in the Scriptures that only ordained ministers of God can perform miracles. Mark 16:17-18 says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Jesus is the ultimate solution to every problem, and He has given those who believe in Him the authority to perform signs and wonders in His name. To do this, however, you must exercise your spirit more than your flesh.
Beloved, be the kind of believer who studies the Bible and prays regularly. When you are such, then God will make you a solution to the problems of many people around you.
KEY POINT:
When you fellowship with Jesus – the Ultimate Solution – He will make you a solution to problems around you.
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.

Deuteronomy_6-7: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” – (Matthew 10:16)
READ: 1 Kings 17:1-16
It is commonly said that statues are never built in honour of critics. While it is not bad to criticise people who are not doing what they ought to be doing, you must not just stop there.
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. (1 Kings 17:1)
In the Scripture above, we see that Elijah started out as a critic. The king wasn’t behaving in the right manner, and just like any critic, Elijah walked into the palace and confronted him. However, he didn’t stop there; he moved on to become a vessel that God used to provide for the needs of a poor widow and her son (1 Kings 17:8-16).
Would you rather become a mere critic or an activist whom God will use to put solutions forward? Would you be content with only carrying placards and protesting or also becoming so wealthy that you can feed the hungry? Carrying placards and protesting will attract the attention of the people you are criticising. However, beyond that, you must grow to a point where you can recommend and even provide some of the solutions you are demanding. Don’t just become a critic that challenges those in authority; grow to the point where your impact cannot be ignored.
This message is particularly for youths. They should learn from Moses who thought he could fulfil his destiny his own way, and as a result, he had to stay in the wilderness for another 40 years until he was ready. The positive change you want can happen, but you must be wise enough to let it happen in God’s way. Matthew 10:16 says, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Christians need to be as strategic as serpents. The most dangerous thing about a serpent is its silence when it wants to attack its prey. When it attacks, the prey only realises it when it is already too late.
Beloved, be wise. God has a great destiny for you, but you must not let overzealousness prevent you from fulfilling your destiny. Rather than just being a mere noisemaker, increase your capacity so that you can indeed become a force to be reckoned with. Your zeal should be matched with the right knowledge and actions (Romans 10:1-2).
KEY POINT:
Don’t just criticize things or people; become a part of the solution you desire to see.

Bible study Cancerous Cell (2)
OPENING PRAYER: Father, deal with all cancerous cells in the body of Christ.
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: The leaders should remind the members of what a cancerous cell is and how to identify it.
MEMORY VERSE: “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” – 1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)
BIBLE TEXT: 1 Kings 13:7-19 (KJV)
7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
8 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
9 For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
17 For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Cancerous cell is a deadly cell that grows in the absence of signals telling them to grow, in our world today a lot of cancerous cells are living with us-divisions, negative influence, ungirded freedom, social media, and neglect from parents in the area of their children’s welfare, all these are bane to societal values.

TEXT REVIEW: 1 Kings 13:7-19
Resting during an ordained assignment is dangerous.
Even amidst the so-called believers, adversaries are many, old prophets.
Don’t be surprised when they say ‘God says’, their father, devil is a liar too.
They are hunters of destiny; following them will cause your sudden end.
LESSON OUTLINE ONE: CAUSES OF CANCEROUS CELLS
In our last week’s lesson, cancerous cell was defined as a cell that alters the genetic system.
Believers are known for a life of holiness, Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 1:15, 16.
In this outline, we want to examine the causes of cancerous cells;
Heretical teachings: teachings of one’s own view, incompatible with the gospel of Christ. It is a teaching that departs from accepted beliefs or the divine standard.
Social Media: Some information on social media unverified contents unverified, polluted and inimical to lives. It causes distraction, loss of productivity, promotes social isolation, exposure to ungodly contents, and picking of polluted information.
Peer Pressure: This brings influence by others to act in a certain way, and this comes because of the desire to be accepted by their peer.
Bad Mentorship: Poor communication and lack of experience from the side of the mentor can be cancerous.
Unguarded Freedom, especially from Parents: When freedom is not guarded, the person is vulnerable to attack, lacking protection. Many lives are wasted due to a lack of protection from cancerous invasion. 1 Peter 5:8
SUMMARY: We should deal with the causes of cancerous cells.
CONCLUSION: Resting during an ordained assignment is dangerous, even amidst the so-called believers; adversaries are many, beware of old prophets.

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.

1-John_4-4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7, JOSHUA 1:8
INTRODUCTION:
In the last two weeks we began a study on ‘understanding Distractions’ flowing from our study of the series on ‘KNOWING GOD’. In order to stay on course after the knowledge of who God is to us as believers, it is important that we deal with the issue of distractions which was dealt with in our first study in this series.
In order to live out our relationship with God as his children in an acceptable manner after knowing Him, we have learned that it is possible for us to get distracted and lose focus on him through worldly values and Satan strategies as we see in the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38 and several others scriptures; and last week we learned of the need to prioritize matters by seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Matthew 6:33. Tonight we shall be continuing in our series ‘UNDERSTANDING DISTRACTIONS’ by looking at the topic ‘STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING DISTRACTIONS’.
Outline 1: Prayer and Mindfulness – Staying Focused on God
1. Prayer as a weapon against distraction:
A) We must pray without ceasing and must never faint. 1 Thes 5:17 and Luke 18:1
B) Prayer brings peace and re-centers our hearts on God, helping us avoid the noise of worry and fear. Phil 4:6-7
C) Cast all your cares upon him 1 Peter 5:7
D) Praying in tongues helps to get rid of distractions. Jude 1:20
E) Cultivate the habit of Daily devotion to align with God’s will and staying focused on God. Luke 5:16, Mark 1:35
PRACTICAL WAYS TO HELP WITH PRAYERS:
A) Set your alarm during the day for prayers
B) Intentionally build a prayer routine
C) Cultivate the routine which helps you to focus more on God
D) You must get to a point where God begins to speak to you.
2. Mindfulness
What is mindfulness? It is the state or quality of being mindful or aware of something.
A) Cultivating awareness of God’s presence allows you to refocus whenever distractions come. Always put the Lord before you in the face of adversity and you will never be shaken. Psalms 16:8
B) Practice pausing during the day to reorient your mind to God’s presence. You can have some words of assurance on your device that will pop up at set times to remind you of God’s presence and his loving kindness to you.
Psalms 26:3, 36:10, 89:33,103:4
C) You can set your device with messages like:
• “Stop, breathe, God is with you”- in anxiety or confusion
• “God is with me, I shall not fail” – fear of failure
• “Jesus loves me, I am not alone” -feeling lonely
Outline 2: Scripture
Meditation – Staying Focused on God’s Truth
1. Focusing on God’s Truth
A) Meditating on God’s truth sets free from worry, anxiety and satan’s lies. John 8:44c. Our focus should be on things that are good Phil 4:8
B) God’s Word provides clarity and guidance. Psalms 119:105
C) Scripture meditation clears confusion amid troubles, dissolves doubt and guides decisions. John 14:1, John 14:27
D) Memorize key verses to recall in moments of distraction. Psalms 119:11
E) Meditating on the word of God brings transformation unto prosperity and good success. Joshua 1:8
Outline 3: Community and Accountability – Staying Focused through Others
1. The power of fellowship keeps you focused.
A) There is power in fellowshipping with others as it encourages us to stay committed to God despite distractions. Hebrews 10:24–25 NLT
B) Staying in fellowship groups, helps us to commune together, share experiences, worries and anxieties and helps us to stay focused on God. Eccl 4:12NLT
2. Accountability strengthens focus on God
A) Being accountable to a group or fellowship helps to avoid distractions and strengthen our focus on God. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
B) Issues causing distractions could be viewed from the perspective of another group member who can give wise counsel. Proverbs 11:14
C) Being in the company of trusted believers helps us recognize when distractions are pulling us away. 2 Samuel 12:1-13
Conclusion:
In overcoming distractions, we must be very intentional with the strategies we adopt as we have learned today. Without intentionality, it may be very difficult to focus on God. Remember, Prayer and mindfulness will help us to center our hearts on God, meditation on Scripture will aid us to fill our minds with the truth of God’s word and surrounding ourselves with godly community for encouragement and accountability will do us a lot of good. As we engage with these strategies daily and with the help of the Holy Spirit, we remain steadfast and fruitful in our walk with God. Col 3:2: says “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” May the Lord help us in Jesus name! Amen!

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.

I always set my alarm for each and every task, including time spent on blogging and social media!
Once the alarm rings, I stop what I am doing, switch off the laptop or phones or television. Then set alarm when next I should go back to blogging, watching television or engaging in social media!

Modern Views on Marriage vs. Baby Mama Culture: The Pursuit of Freedom and Control
I was minding my own business at Golden penny soup festival, when a lady dropped on the bench beside me, and in the same breath said to the lady facing her “Babe! When I get married, I will give my husband some freedom to cheat!”
Immediately the antennas of my ears shot up and I looked her, she smiled and faced her friend: “Babe! One woman no dey do one man, men are created like that! Know this and know peace Babe”
Her friend said all seriousness “I am baby mama for life!”
I turned and looked at her!
I said “Are you serious!” in my mind.
“Marriage is not for me”
“So, you still want to be a baby mama?”
“Yeah! I value my freedom! Most men are afraid of successful women!”
Well, they both look like they are in their early 30s and successful to a certain degree.
“I want to get married; I want the security that marriage gives, I don’t want to end up lonely at my old age”
“Who says you will be lonely when you are old? What guarantee do you have that your marriage will be successful?”
“I want to be in control of my life! I don’t want any man telling me what I can and cannot do! Baby mama for life”
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.
