Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation…
1 Peter 1:3, NLT
You are so precious to me and I am very thankful for you.
As we remember the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, my heart is overflowing with thankfulness for His great love for us. Because of His perfect sacrifice on the cross, we can indeed live life with great expectation—of abundance, divine health, favor and provision. Because He was raised from the grave, we can be confident that Jesus’ work in saving us is completely finished! That is the good news of the gospel of grace!
Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD 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!
May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen!

Love covers Multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8-10
Above everything, love one another earnestly, because love covers over many sins. Open your homes to each other without complaining. Each one, as a good manager of God’s different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from GOD. 1 Peter 4:8-10

Glorious Generation 2 (Sermon Note)
Glorious Generation 2 (Sermon Note)
Text: 1 Peter 2:9
Introduction
Our God is glorious, excellent, beautiful, superb, majestic Exodus 15:11. We are His offspring; His Chosen generation. We must be glorious like Him, in excellence, beauty, radiance, achievements. To achieve this, we must be a generation with vision. We must set goals and achieve them. Proverbs 29:18.
- 1. What is your goal in life?
To answer this, we need to answer some other questions: – Who am I, what is my deepest dream in life. To fulfil my dream, what do I need to do? Why is it important to me? Does God approve of it? How and when should I embark on it? What is the ultimate picture I see in the future? When I attain that ultimate dream, what next? Judges 11:1-10, 1 Chronicles 4:9-10; Proverbs 14:12; Ecclesiastes 11:4.
Biblical example of goal setters are Nehemiah, Paul, Daniel, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to mention but a few. Nehemiah 2:3-5, Daniel 6;3; Philippians 3:13-14; 2 Corinthians 11:23-33; Acts 20:24, 2 Timothy 4:7-8, Matthew 18:11; John 4:34; John 17:4
- 2. Pitfalls in achieving our goals
Sin, laziness, wrong association and friendship, procrastination, slothfulness and mediocrity. Psalms 1:1-6; Proverbs 21:25; Proverbs 13:20; Romans 6:1; Hebrews 12:1-2.
- 3. To achieve your goals you need valuable people
You need mentors, connectors, grounders, Godly counsellors. Above all you need God’s grace and mercies. Acts 9:26-27; Proverbs 11:14; Jeremiah 33:3; Ephesians 1:17-18.
- 4. Success is not cheap
Success is not cheap neither is it easy. Don’t give up. If you fail, try again. Winners never quit. 2 Corinthians 11:23-33; Phil 4:13; Luke 1:37
Conclusion
We must shine in our generation. In our places of work, in school, in ministry, business, we must shine because we are chosen, we are royalty, we are peculiar, if we shine, then we bring glory to God Who has called us into His marvellous light.
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!

Good Spiritual Food
Good Spiritual Food
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 says
“And my teaching and message were not delivered with skilful words of human wisdom, but with convincing proof of the power of God’s Spirit. Your faith, then, does not rest on human wisdom but on God’s power”
The Gospel message is full of the love, grace and power of God.
1 Peter 1:8-9 says, “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
Today’s preaching often ignores sin and its consequences. We still need the food of the Spirit, not secular humanism and denial of the existence of God. If you are what you eat, make sure you receive good spiritual food. 1 Corinthians 10:3-4 says, “They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.”
Some “new” thinkers tell us that God is outmoded and irrelevant in today’s highly industrial and scientific world.
It is time now to bring back the salvation message to the Body of Christ. God will never be “out of date.” In these last days, God is calling us to harvest souls for Him. Revival starts within the faithful hearts of individuals who seek Him.

No more sleepless nights
No more sleepless nights
Casting the whole of your care (all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately (and) cares about you watchfully (1 Peter 5:7)
I believe one of the greatest things in life is to know that you are loved by God, the Creator of the universe. The Bible says He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. This world is full of troubles and you will face different challenge as long as you’re living in it. But the good news is that Jesus overcame the world for your sake (John 16:33). Therefore, you should no longer have sleepless nights over any situation in your life.
Some people find it difficult to sleep when they are confronted with challenges. Such people are oblivious to the fact that they were called into a life of rest. The Bible says, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His” (Hebrews 4:10). Jesus was mocked to the cross; He was spat on, beaten and rejected, and then He died. All these He did so that you may no longer cry. Therefore, whenever you think about the death of Jesus, always remember that He took all those pains, worries, dejection which could have given you sleepless nights. Hallelujah!
Remember that when He was praying in the garden of Gethsemane just before He was arrested, His disciples were sleeping. They awoke only after He had finished praying (Matthew 26:45). The Bible says, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his” (Hebrews 4:10). He has given you rest and taken your sleepless night away.
1 Peter 5:7 tells you what to do when you’re faced with challenges: “Throw all your worry on Him (God), because He cares for you.” The Bible says, “It’s useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don’t you know he enjoys giving rest to those He loves?” (Psalm 127:2 MSG). Therefore, never let worry or any other thing steal your rest away from you.
Confession:
I have the peace of God, therefore I dwell in rest. I refuse to be troubled by circumstances and situations, because I deal with them from a position of rest. Challenges are my nourishment and signs of my promotion. Glory to God! 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!

Excelling In Life
Image via Wikipedia
Excelling In Life
by Pastor Afolabi
People often busy themselves with some activity that they believe would give them an edge for excellence in various areas of their lives. For some, it is enrolling for that extra on-the-job course to sharpen their business acumen; for others, it’s hiring the services of a pro trainer or coach to improve their skills in some sport. For some others still, it is sitting for weeks, months or even years under the tutorship of world class professors and ultimately obtaining a first class degree from some renowned institution in well acclaimed areas of the world. And maybe for some, recruiting the best skilled hands to execute the goals of their companies or organizations would definitely do the “excelling” trick.
These are undeniably laudable efforts, worthy of emulation. However, that individual who will become truly excellent in his or her life must primarily learn and apply God‘s principles and skills of living. Man is a created being; and must necessarily seek to know his Creator, who having made the product, understands his full functions and specified his operations; and thus knows what man can achieve, and how and when best he can achieve it. The Bible is the product manual and must therefore be the pivot and reference for whoever will maximize his potentials, and ultimately excel at his endeavours as God’s divine product.
Excelling is not an act or performance, which is here for a moment only to disappear into oblivion. Rather, it ought to be a way of life. Excelling in life requires 100% usage of one’s mind; and one’s capability and its utilization can be reviewed and improved by choice and at will. A poet once said, “Few are born with talent that excel, but all are capable of living well.” Rarely will an infant have an angel descend at his birth and whisper in his ear “You are among the few born with talent.” Often times, the infant himself grows up to recognize his talents, and sets the ball rolling to achieve his goals, with a touch of excellence. Not many are born into the world with the tag “WINNER”. Thus, winning and doing so excellently is indeed a matter of choice.
So what you need to do is to always acknowledge yourself as the best product of a painstaking manufacturer, laden with innate abilities, great talents and limitless potentials. And these, when put to the right and timely use, according to the principles provided in the manufacturer’s manual – the Bible – will definitely produce excellent results.
Constantly apply yourself to training and imbibe fresh and updated information in your field of expertise, or whatever area of endeavour you seek to pursue. Become consistent, diligent and continually improve on your skills and personality, always staying abreast of the facts in your field of play. Soon enough, excelling in life will be your sweet story to tell.
