Cover of "The Joy of the Lord"

The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength.

James 1:2-4 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

When we are facing challenges and problems, it is difficult to have joy; but James tells us that this is the key to overcoming those obstacles that are in your life. As a matter of fact the Bible says that the joy of the lord is your strength. So without joy you will be without strength and you will not be able to face and overcome the trials. You can only have joy when you have Faith, knowing that God will not leave you in the lurch and that He will always help you to get through whatever you are facing.

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

We are all one in Christ Jesus

English: The Last Supper of Jesus Christ

We Are All One In Christ Jesus

 READ: Galatians 3:19-29

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. —Galatians 3:28

In the Star Wars trilogy there’s a scene that reminds me of some church people I know. At an establishment somewhere in a remote corner of the galaxy, grotesque-looking creatures socialize over food and music. When Luke Skywalker enters with his two droids, C3PO and R2D2 (who are more “normal” than anyone else there), he is surprisingly turned away with a curt rebuff: “We don’t serve their kind here!”

That strange scene captures the malady that we all struggle with in our relationships here on planet Earth. We are always more comfortable with people who are just like us. But think of where you would be if Jesus had felt that way. He was divine, perfect in every way, which makes Him far different from us. Yet He came to dwell among us and to die for us.

Those of us who follow Christ shouldn’t have “they’re not my kind” in our vocabulary. As Paul reminds us, in Him “there is neither Jew nor Greek, . . . slave nor free, . . . male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:28). So, whether others are different in attitude, perspective, race, class, political slant, or social standing, it should make no difference to those of us who call ourselves by Jesus’ name.

Find someone who is not your kind and share Jesus’ love with them today! —Joe Stowell

I pray, O Lord, reveal to me
If I have caused disunity,
For You would have Your children one
In praise and love for Your dear Son. —Branon

Love your neighbor— even if they aren’t your kind!

You can overcome that temptation. You can stand out

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. James 1:14

In his letter to the church in Sardis, after stating their terrible state, the Lord stated that there were a few of them who were undefiled who would walk with Him. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. Revelation 3:4

As horrible as Sardis was, there were a few people who held on to their faith in Christ. One revelation you need to hold unto from this is that: Your faith in Christ can triumph even in the most sinful era ever possible to man. No matter the temptations or levels of corruption around you; no matter the pressure you are faced with; if you hold on to your faith in Christ, you will be a victor. This also shows that when many fall in the midst of trials, temptations and pressure, it is not because the grace of God has grown weaker or that God has become powerless or unfaithful to His promises, but because the one in the middle of it all chooses to give in to sin. You are the only one that can separate yourself from His love, not the contrary forces.

This was also the submission of Paul in Romans 8:35-39. He says he is persuaded that nothing can separate us from Christ. What is separating you from His love today? Is that excuse acceptable by God? If your excuse for wanting to join your peers, co-workers, co-students, or other people in your community to violate God’s Word is in Paul’s list, then you have no excuse. Today, it is common place for pastors to sleep with church members and pretend as if all is well. Even if all pastors fall victim to this practice, you should not be one of them. Like a prominent man of God wrote: “Others may but I cannot” . you can be different. You can stand out for good! You can be among the faithful few in your family, neighbourhood, community or nation.

DON’T GIVE UP YOUR FAITH EVEN FOR A SECOND! STAY IN CHRIST!

The excuse you give for failing God is the exhibit satan needs to nail you.

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Be fruitful

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:3

Part of the characteristics of a living thing is reproduction and growth. A christen reproduces by winning souls and ought to grow in fellowship with and in service to the LORD. This is what it means to bear fruits. The Lord is not happy with any part of His body that bears no fruit; He says such will eventually be cut off (John 15:2). But the Lord does not desire for any part of His to be cut off hence he sends this warning: Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die. For I have not found thy works perfect before God. (Revelation 3:2)

One way you can strengthen the good things that are fast dying in your life or ministry is by evangelism. Many complain today that miracles are not happening in their ministry. How will they when you do not go out? If you do not go, they will not follow. Your potentials in the miraculous can never be fully realised until Heaven is satisfied that you have obeyed the Master’s last command – Go!

Another way you can strengthen the things that are about to die is by giving. You may say you cannot play an active part in giving because of financial handicap; but you can give other things – Time, Intellect, Voice, Hands, Legs, Energy, Your Whole Self, etc. however, lay a solid foundation of service and giving. You will surely reap! What is that good thing that is about to die? Fire it with zeal, more commitment and dedication today.

Ask God for grace to serve Him acceptably. Have you met your evangelism target for this quarter? Ensure this before the quarter ends.

God bless Us! Amen!

Wealth And Wisdom

He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch (Proverbs 11:28)

Wealth is good but to God, there is nothing good in the wealth of a sinner. In fact, wealth obtained through the machinery of sin is an abomination to Him. The sinner’s wisdom cannot save him because rather than sincerely look up to God, he depends on himself and gave himself credit for all his achievements. Nebuchadnezzar is an example in this regard. God’s judgement came on him while he was busy beating his chest and ascribing glory to himself for what God had done (Daniel 4:28-32). Are you taking credit for your exceptional abilities at work, school or ministry? Do you think the reason you have your wife and children is because you are a special breed? No, it is because of God, not you.

If God’s children would fear God and live holy, the wisdom they would get from God will not only give them wealth but also life, with health and safety from evil men and women. It is good to have a spouse but having an evil wife or husband means experiencing hell on earth. That shall not be your portion, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen! Wise people know that riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death (Proverbs 11:4). When God is angry with an individual and decides to bring judgement on that fellow, the wealth of such a person will not be able to deliver him in that instance. Do you trust in your riches? Proverbs 11:28 says you shall be disappointed. If you are trusting in your wealth, singing your own praises over achievements, remember that God will not share His glory with any man! You re what you are today only by God’s grace. Proverbs 4:10 says if you are wise, you will have life in addition to wealth. Holiness brings this life. Living an unholy life could lead to material and spiritual poverty. God wants you to be holy because He is holy. He wants you perfect because He is perfect. If you seek His kingdom first and His righteousness, all the blessings you desire shall be added to you.

Examine yourself and identify areas you are taking credit for excellent performances.

Repent and return the glory to God!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Everything You Wanted and More! (Jesus Turned Water Into wine)

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of

the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted

the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was (but the

servants which drew the water knew);

John 2:8-9

Jesus told the servants, “Fill the waterpots with water.” They followed

instructions fully, filling the pots to the brim. By a miracle of God,

the waterpots now held expensive wine instead of water. The governor

called the bridegroom and said, “Hey, you saved the best wine for last.

This isn’t ordinary!”

Once again, Jesus provided a financial miracle. And once again, He

didn’t just provide enough; He provided everything they wanted and

more. What group of people could drink up to 180 gallons of wine at the

end of a party? God is in the business of providing miracles, and He

wants to provide financial miracles for you!

When you follow Christ, it is what you seek you will get

And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed him (Matthew 8:2)

In today’s reading, our Lord Jesus Christ was thronged round about by a crowd as was their custom. We can learn some salient truths from this account. First, many people have different reasons for following the Lord, most of which are selfish. He directly confronted some of such seekers:

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled (John 6:26)

They were part of the five thousand who were fed with five barley loaves and two fishes. They were not thrilled by the miracle, but by the fact that they came hungry and He gave them food to eat. To say the least, the Lord was disappointed. Why are you seeking the Lord? If it is just for food, you are not better than these people and what the Lord said to them, he is saying to you:

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed. (John 6:27)

When you seek God, seek Him not just for carnal blessings, but especially for spiritual blessings. Seek to know Him. Seek to hear His Voice distinctly. Seek to have Him fill your life. Seek to see more of His power operating through you. Seek to carry more of His presence. Why do you seek Him?

Moreover, after the crowd gathered, the Lord ordered them to go to the other side. For many of them, that was the end of their following Christ at least for that moment. Majority of the crowd went home. They were not prepared to pay any price. Only the disciples followed Him(Matthew 8:23). Certain instructions of God are given to sift between believers and disciples. If you are not prepared to pay a price for your love or service of God, you can never be His disciple. One mark of Christ’s disciples is that they follow Him. They hear His Voice and immediately gear their lives in that direction. Are you follower of Jesus Christ? To what extent do you fellow his instructions? If you will serve God at your convenience, you cannot be His disciple.

When you follow Christ, it is what you seek you will get. Many who follow Him end up with mundane things and not Christ because He was never their focus.

Put your seeds in Jesus’ hands and let Him deal with your situation


One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they among so many
John 6: 8-9

Philip said, “Forget it! There’s no way we can feed this many.” But Andrew started out the right way, saying, “There is a little guy here
who has five loaves and two fishes. That’s something, but what are five
loaves and two fishes going to do for this many people?”

Have you ever had a bill due and didn’t have the money to pay it? When
you find yourself in such a situation, you should not be need conscious
but seed conscious. If you don’t have enough to meet your need, then
you look at what you have as seed. Give the seed to God and allow Him
to multiply what you have given Him. Put it in Jesus’ hands and let Him
deal with your situation.

Because God Never Changes, My Future Is Secure And Eternal

 

God Never Changes

Faith vs. Sight

 

“Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.”

(Romans 5:2)

 

Faith is essential to the Christian life. But until we realize our faith is in the God who never changes, we will tend to walk by sight.

 

All of us have natural, everyday faith. This is the faith we exhibit in the ordinary things we do. When we sip a glass of water, we trust that it is pure. When we board an airplane, we have faith that the builders, the air traffic controllers, and the pilot know what they are doing. This type of faith comes from our senses. If the water looks odd or smells funny, we do not drink it. If the pilot reeks of alcohol, we do not board the plane.

 

But spiritual faith does not depend on our senses. It is based on God’s consistent and trustworthy character. As George Mueller, 19th century British social reformer, explained, “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends.”

 

Although our circumstances may appear hopeless and our feelings may tell us to give up, we must not allow ourselves to be limited by the visible world. Instead, we should place our trust in the God who never changes.

 

Yet many times our faith extends only as far as we can see. An African impala antelope can jump higher than ten feet and a distance of more than thirty feet. Yet these magnificent creatures can be kept in an enclosure behind a three-foot wall. The reason? The antelope will not jump if it cannot see where its feet will fall. The impala’s dependency on its senses robs it of its freedom.

 

We, also, are often limited by our need to see before we will believe. Instead, we must improve our spiritual vision so that the walls of fear and doubt cannot doom us to a life of spiritual mediocrity.

 

 

Your View of God Really Matters …

If you really believed that God never changes, how would that affect the way you trust Him for the things you cannot see, or the circumstances you don’t understand?

 

Numbers 23:19; Jeremiah 17:7-9

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (John 7:37)

God’s call is unto rest and peace! When He called on erstwhile blind Bartimaeus, it was obvious that certain good things were about to follow. First, after tat call, Bartimaeus threw away his garment of sorrow. Then, He asked him what he wanted. As soon as he mentioned his need for healing, h got it instantly. He said he was tired of darkness and light suddenly came. The same fellow who had been dependent on people, begging daily suddenly became financially empowered and was able to cater for his needs. Lastly, the same people who hated him for nothing, and had asked him to keep quiet, were the same people who cheered him up and led him to his miracle (Mark 10:46-52). Have you been called by God? Your Call is to rest, and peace.

In addition, He calls unto satisfaction! In John 7:37-39, He invites you to come and drink so as to quench your thirst. There are many around us who do not know the meaning of satisfaction. They have money to buy whatever they want but they are never satisfied. Satisfaction cannot be brought. Jesus is the One who gives satisfaction. I once spent a night at the house of a wealthy man. At breakfast time, he spent almost an hour deciding how he wanted his eggs served. When his servants were through with his orders, they asked me what I wanted and I simply asked them to put everything on the table, for me to choose from. When Jesus calls you, it is a call to satisfaction. No matter how little you eat, you are satisfied. In addition, God’s call gives you victory over death. If you are called by God, you fear no death. Hence, David says, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4

His call is all – encompassing. For everyone who has been called, God has something special in reserves to back up that call. He has not called you to sorrow, demotion, lack or destruction. Accept His call because it is the highest call you can ever have.

KEY POINT:

A call to repentance is the most foundational of all calls. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ, heed this call now!

Divorce

Leave and Cleave

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:24

Divorce is one of the greatest indictments against the Church of Jesus
Christ in our generation. You would think that with all of God‘s
promises and heaven’s resources at our disposal, the Church would
manage to do better than “match” the world’s divorce rate.

The problem is all too familiar: We failed to follow God’s plan for
marriage. It is clearly spelled out in the Bible, and those who
following his plan to “leave and cleave” will tend to succeed, while
those who don’t follow won’t succeed.

The Bible says a man is supposed to leave his father and mother. If
Mama is still trying to hold onto a man with her apron strings, he has
to cut them before he marries a woman. A man must also leave the control and authority of his father in order to establish his own life.
He should always respect and honour his parents, but that doesn’t mean
they are to control him once he leaves home to set up his own house.

The Hebrew word translated “cleave” means to cling or adhere, to stick
to and pursue hard. A man needs to get his own place and learn how to
take care of himself. He needs to learn how to handle money before he
marries. The point is that when a man marries, his wife has to take
first place above everyone else but God. She gets first rights on a
man’s time, energy and money.

Prayer for Today

Father,
I confess that your Word is true! I choose to focus on the wisdom found
in your Word , not on what hear and see in a broken world and broken
lives. I release your power to work in my life and those of my family.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Holy fraud

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel (Proverbs 20:17)

Any gain made from deceit, fraud and lies will be short lived. Initially, it will appear as an increase but later it will leave you plundered. Some believers exploit fellow believers. This is a great evil because any wrong you do to your brother or sister in Christ is done to The LORD! Today, many people find it difficult to tell the truth. For, instance, when asked to go and buy something for the church, they will not rest until they make profit for themselves. Some of those who maintain church equipments will present certain equipment as write off, receive money for another one only to refurbish that which was condemned. They then go on to use it either for themselves or put it out for sale. Who owns the equipment? Who owns the church? Who do you think you are deceiving – The pastor, administrator or Christ? Bread of deceit loads your system with gravel! Each time you deceive the church authority to make money for yourself, you give yourself wounds that may never heal.

A particular brother received a contract for electrical works in the building of a church. While bidding for it, he presented certain standard cables and materials but after he was awarded the contract, he bought sub-standard materials in order to make more profit. Nobody knew. About two years after, the building was on fire as a result of the poor materials used. Meanwhile, the contractor had died when his secret deal came to light. A number of people believed that his deception killed him. Don’t kill yourself! Don’t die before your time! God cannot bless you if you deceive Him or His servants. Some people deliberately supply inferior goods to the church so that when they get spoilt, they will be recalled to re-supply such items. This is fraud! Remember Ananaias and Sapphira lied about the offering they gave but ever survived it! Neither will any who follow their evil path.

Prayer: ask God to sanitise His church; that all those defrauding His house and fail to repent and restitute be exposed and disgraced!

Follow God’s Lead

Follow God‘s Lead
by Bishop Keith A. Butler

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:6

You may say, “What’s the problem with making a few decisions on my own
here and there?” The problem is that God’s Word says, “There is a way
which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death” (Proverbs 14:12). The big difference between directing things
yourself and allowing God to direct you really shows up when things go
wrong.

If you are on God’s path and trouble comes your way, you can go to
God’s Word and declare, “I am standing on Your Word and obeying Your
will, Lord. I am doing what You said, and I am expecting by faith that You will do what Your Word says.” You can stand on the Word, and having
done all, keep standing (see Ephesians 6:13, 14). You will get
deliverance in times of trouble when He directs your path.

Things aren’t so positive when you direct yourself into something and
trouble catches up with you. You have nothing to stand on except your
own words, and you will go down with the ship. Don’t tell yourself,
“Well, that was Adam and Eve falling for satan’s trick! I would never
do that.” Are you that much smarter than the first man and woman God
created? I doubt that!

Prayer for Today

Father,
I commit myself to staying in your Word and following your ways. I
stand in your strength and hold fast to your hand. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Sin Against Brothers

… there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
1 Corinthians 12:25

Being a Christian doesn’t prevent you from sinning-it just gives you the power to resist and overcome it through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 3:23 tells us, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It doesn’t matter if you attend church faithfully, if you’re a pastor or if you’re the pope-everyone sins and everyone needs the forgiveness of God.

Christians in the church at Corinth were cheating and sinning against their brothers and sisters. Church members were taking advantage of other members, even though they were supposed to be demonstrating God’s love to a lost world.

Paul rebukes them for these things in 1 Corinthians 6:7-8. There can’t be true fellowship when there is church division.

Pray to God right now to show you when you’ve been guilty of hurting someone else. He may show you ongoing sin or wrongdoing from your past. Ask the Holy Spirit to convict you of the sin in that situation and ask the Lord for forgiveness.

Do not deny the existence of sin in your life but acknowledge it and repent, and you will be forgiven.

The Confessions of your mouth

The Confessions of your mouth

Your Spirit will produce what you say!

If anyone thinks to be religious among you, yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is vain (James 1:26).

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 says, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.” Here, the Apostle Paul shows us that the Holy Spirit searches the deep and profound things of God. Which means that the Holy Spirit seeks, investigates, inquires or scan through the divine counsel of God with the purpose of bringing them to pass.

The 11th verse of the same 1 Corinthians 2 reveals that the human spirit also operates the same way: “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” The Bible calls the human spirit the candle of the Lord (Proverbs 20:27); that’s where the light of God is; that’s where He guides you from.  Therefore, a Christian who utters words that are inconsistent with the realities of the new life in Christ deceives his own spirit. As a result, his spirit will no longer be a trustworthy guide.

For example, someone might say “We don’t live past age forty in our family.” What he hasn’t realized is that as long as he continues to talk that way, his spirit will believe it and that’s what will be established for him and he wouldn’t live past forty. Rather, he ought to declare “I live a long, healthy, prosperous and impactful life here on earth, and there’s no death in my path, in Jesus Christ Name!  Amen!” (Exodus 23:25-26).

Never speak contrary to the will, purpose and plan of God for your life. Let your words be full of grace, and void of guile and deceit. Talk health, prosperity, success, and victory, and that’s exactly what your spirit will produce for you. James 3:2 says “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able to bridle the whole body.”

Don’t Fail God‘s Test! by Pastor Andre Butler

Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little
John 6:7

Jesus was testing Philip so he could see what he really relied on when under pressure. Philip failed the test. He started looking at the money
that was needed to feed the multitudes rather than what Jesus was able
to do. He should have said, “Well Jesus, I may not understand what’s
going on here, but I know You’re able to do whatever we need to do to
take care of this issue.” But that is not what he did.

It’s one thing to declare that God is your source when things are going
good and money is coming your way, when God is blessing you all the
time. It’s another thing to declare that God is your source when
unexpected bills are showing up and financial circumstances seem to be
crushing you. Remember, your God is a source who is able to supply your
needs at all times!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

God is able to do what you cannot do

God is able to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think

If your father were Bill Gates and your computer crashed, where would you turn? If Stradivari were your dad and your violin string snapped, to whom would you go?

If your father is God and you have a problem on your hands, what do you do?

Is your problem too large? Ephesians 3:29 says, “God is able to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”

Is your need too great? 2 Corinthians 9:8 says, “God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance.”

Is your enemy too strong? Philippians 3:21 says, “God is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”

God is able to do what you cannot. When you have a problem—make this your first thought—“How can I get this problem to Jesus!”

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Every Other Miracle Prepare For The Grand Miracle

Every Other Miracle Prepares for the Grand Miracle

Written by Sheila Schuller Coleman

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory
as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” -John 1:14/ESV

I absolutely love this quote from C. S. Lewis in his book, Miracles, and I feel
it is important to delve deeper into it. As you may recall, C.S. Lewis reminds us
that all of us have already received the one miracle we all need. Without it – we
are lost forever. He calls it the Grand Miracle – the incarnation – when God became
man – and that Man, Jesus, died in our place and is risen.

C. S. Lewis had this to say about the Grand Miracle: “Every other miracle prepares
for this, or exhibits this, or results from this.” Every other miracle prepares
for the Grand Miracle! All the Old Testament miracles are building blocks leading
up to the pinnacle – the Grand Miracle – Jesus, who came from the Hebrew nation
to be the Messiah, the Christ, the Promised Redeemer foretold in Isaiah.

God wanted to reveal Himself to man by becoming man. So He prepared for the Grand
Miracle through many miracles we learn about in the Old Testament. For example:

* Sarah bore Isaac at the age of 99 – and the Hebrew Nation, and eventually Jesus
Christ, was born of this miracle!

* God delivered His children from Egypt – through many, many miracles! The Israelites
had been oppressed in slavery for 430 years. They had forgotten God. God needed
to deliver them and demonstrate His presence, His power, His providence (through
manna, etc.) in the wilderness to prepare them for the Grand Miracle – the coming
of His Son Jesus.

The miracles of the Old Testament prepare for the Grand Miracle as described in
the New Testament – the birth, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ
– eternal life – for you and me. What other miracle do we need? And, if God would
not withhold this miracle, would He withhold any other miracle we need?

PRAYER:

Father God, I am amazed that You would come to earth, clothed in human form to be
the Grand Miracle – that we would know You, and see You, and be saved by Your grand
act of love and compassion. Thank You! Amen.

What other miracles can you think of that prepared us for the Grand Miracle – the
coming of Jesus the Christ?

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
