The Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:3-17

You shall have no other gods before me.

You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

You shall not take the name of the LORD Your God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness.

You shall not covet.

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!

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly

John 10:10, NKJV

 

 

 

 

There is more to life . . .

than being healthy,

than being happy,

than being problem free,

than being comfortable,

than feeling good, than getting what we want,

than being healed.

There is more to life even than living!

And the “more to life” is the development of our faith to the extent that our very lives display God‘s glory!

God sometimes does not shield those He loves from challenges but uses those challenges to fulfil His greater plan. He is glad, not that we suffer, but that we have the opportunity to grow in our faith and display His glory, which is the fulfilment of the very purpose for our existence. Don’t settle for less than more!

 

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!

 

Always pray for those who are in authority

Always pray for those who are in authority

1 Timothy 2:1-2 says: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” This is the will and plan of God. In other words, God tells us that He can have influence upon the hearts of men, upon kings and other people in authority. He tells us the way He can have this influence is if we will lift them up before Him. I know that you may not be like me, but I often forget my leaders. I’d rather complain than pray. But here we see that God can change the hearts of the people and the circumstances; not just kings and presidents, but even mayors, teachers, co-workers, and bosses – if we will lift them up in prayer. This is why God tells us to pray for those who persecute us, so that He can touch and change their hearts. So let’s pray today, instead of complaining. Let’s not forget, but let’s lift them up before God.

Remember to Pray!

 

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!

There is no limit to God’s favour in our lives

There is no limit to God’s favour in our lives

 

 

 

 

 

As God’s children, we are given His favour as a special gift. But the favour of God is not about us; it’s about His grace and desire to bless His children for their faithfulness and obedience. He’s a good and loving Father, and He’s ALWAYS looking for ways to show us His love.

God’s heart is so big, and He’s filled with so much good that He doesn’t have to take favour away from one person to give it to someone else.

THERE’S NO LIMIT TO GOD’S FAVOR IN YOUR LIFE.

 

 

 

 

But remember this…living in the favour of God doesn’t mean you won’t have setbacks or difficulties. It doesn’t mean that you won’t have to persevere, press on or keep hope alive through hard times. The truth is it’s in difficult moments that we are able to truly appreciate the favour of God in the most powerful ways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!

Believing God for Abundance

Believing God for Abundance


“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it.

Luke 14:28

You need to believe that God’s blessing will cause you to have
abundance. If you do these practical things that are in line with God’s
Word—be faithful concerning the resources God has given you, and give unto
God like the Word of God teaches—you can trust God.

Every day, get up and confess what God is doing to your finances.
Confess how His blessing is on your life and how it is making you rich.
Confess how God is sending men your way to give unto you good measure,
pressed down, shaken together and running over. Rehearse your victory
dance! Stay in faith! Your whole situation will turn around quickly
because God cooperates with individuals who obey Him.

 

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!

Stand Firm


Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Stand Firm

 

 

 

 

If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.
Isaiah 7:9

Sometimes we hold on to that which is unsure, afraid to reach out for the thing that is sure. You cannot have both. You must leave the shaky house to move into the house built on the rock. You can’t live in two houses or kingdoms at the same time.

There are only two kingdoms: Fear and FAITH. If you are walking in fear you are not in faith. Faith in God will cause the impossible to manifest in your life. Faith says that “it will happen” while fear says, “it will never happen.”

Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

Your heart is purified by faith, you are sanctified by faith, you live by faith, you are justified by faith, you have access by faith, and you stand by faith. It would be a foolish farmer who sowed seeds not expecting a harvest. For he has faith that because he sowed seeds, he will reap crops.

To seek is to search out, investigate, crave, demand and worship. How do you seek God? God honours those who actively and persistently pursue Him-in faith.

Acts 15:9

Romans 3:28

Romans 11:20

 

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!

Perfect Peace


Česky: Kříže - symbol utrpení Ježíše Krista a ...

Perfect Peace

 

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”

 

 

 

 

The only way to live in peace is living on purpose. Knowing your purpose motivates and focuses you in life. With a clear purpose in life you won’t keep changing direction. Seek God first and you will receive clarity and peace.

 

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!

God operates according to the principle of seed, time, and harvest

God operates according to the principle of seed, time, and harvest


But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully

2 Corinthians 9:6

Paul had been talking about giving to the saints, and in this verse he
said, “he that soweth…” God looks at your giving as seed, and
He looks at you as if you are a farmer. That’s why we say, a seed will
meet any need.
God operates according to the principle of seed, time, and harvest. If
you want to have a harvest, you must first plant a seed.

Paul was telling this church that he who sows (gives) bountifully, will
reap bountifully. He who gives a little, will reap a little. The amount
you invest directly relates to the amount you receive.

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!
