Don’t Give Up!

Galatians 6:9

“So, let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.”

Don’t give up! God has harvest your in store for you! The deeper the
foundation is, the higher the building. Many give up right before
their breakthrough; don’t let that be you! You could be one step
of obedience away from your due season!

 

 

 

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!

Life Of Praise And Thanksgiving

Life of praise and thanksgiving

 

“And being not weak in faith, he (Abraham) considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God (Romans 4:19-20)

True Christianity is a supernatural life of faith in God’s Word. When you’re operating by the principles of faith, you’ll always be giving glory to God. You’ll always be thankful and grateful to Him, not for what you expect Him to do, but for all He’s already done, because you’ve come to understand that there’s absolutely nothing that He hasn’t done for you yet. This understanding makes your life that of praise and thanksgiving; you glorify God every day, everywhere and at all times.

In your life, you must learn how to look out only for that which gives God glory. So, instead of looking for your sickness; look for your healing. Some people are quick to rush to the doctor at the slightest pain or discomfort in their body. Such folks are looking out for their sickness instead of their healing. That’s not faith, and that doesn’t glorify God.

If, for example, there’s a swelling somewhere in your body; don’t talk about how persistent the growth is and complain about the pain. Instead, choose to see that it’s reducing and the pain gone. Then, begin to give glory to God for your healing. If you have a child that’s not been able to walk, and one morning you wake up to discover that there’s some form of movement in the child’s legs; the legs has moved and changed position, don’t wait till you can see the child perfectly walking and running around before you start giving glory to God. The right thing to do is to begin immediately to thank God that the child can walk! Faith gives glory to God!

For you to move from one level of glory to a higher level, you have to speak according to God’s Word. You have to talk yourself to that place where you want to be. If they’ve refused to promote you in your place of work; don’t be sad. Promotion doesn’t come from the east, west or from the south. It comes from God (Psalm 75:6). Therefore talk yourself to the top. Use your mouth. Keep declaring your promotion; your miracle is in your mouth. Don’t stagger at the promise of God through unbelief.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father! I thank You and praise Your Holy Name for Your glory is manifested in my life continually. Help me to see only the fulfilment of Your Word and the manifestation of Your power in my life, so that my life may be full of praise and thanksgiving, in Jesus Christ Name, 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!

God Will Bless Your Effort

God Will Bless Your Effort

 

“The LORD shall open unto thee His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in His season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend unto many nations, and you shall not borrow” (Deuteronomy 28:12)

I always feel so sorry for people who complain of unemployment. How can anyone complain about unemployment in a world this big? If you’re a child of God, you don’t need to cry that you don’t have a job; simply create one. Some, after reading this, might say sarcastically, “You make it sound so easy.”

This world abounds with opportunities. The truth however is that the wealth of the world and its riches belong to God, and He’s made them available to you: “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places that thou may know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, Am the God of Israel” (Isaiah 45:3).  It’s up to you to decide to take advantage of the vast supplies in the earth. If that’s your decision, then ensure that you do something with your abilities.

When God called Moses, He asked him, “What do you have in your hands?” Moses replied, “A rod” He could have said “Nothing” because there wasn’t anything special about the rod until the power of God came upon it and it became the rod of God with which He performed miracles. It’s not enough to just sit down and dream. A dream that can’t begin today will never materialize. There must always be a connection between your dream and today. The connection has to be by faith and the Bible says faith is not complete without works.

What skill do you have that God can bless? Remember, you may start out small but when the power of God comes upon your effort it’ll prosper beyond your dreams. The Bible says there’s profit in all labour (Proverbs 14:23). So, if you don’t labour there will be no profit. That’s why you can’t afford to not have a job. If there’s no work, there’ll be no pay. There must be something you’re doing; there must be a point of contract for God to bless you. He wants to bless your effort and give you greater ideas.

Confession:

I believe in the ability of God in me to do creative things. I put that ability to work today. My spirit is alert to receive and I am prompt to respond to ideas from God in everything I do; for I know that whatever I lay my hands upon to do prospers, in Jesus Christ Name, 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!

Success can be defined as the ability to minimize your errors

Proverbs 22:3

Success can be defined as the ability to minimize your errors. The virtue that imparts this ability is prudence. Prudence is practical wisdom that is applicable everyday and every time. With it, you make wise choices and wise decisions. It ensures that you make fewer mistakes in your life by guiding you to make right choices. With this virtue, you’ll never be financially bankrupt. You’ll always get things right the first time you do them.

A prudent person is someone who is marked by sound judgment. If God endows you with prudence, others will take notice that you have such a virtue. When Job was in great distress, everybody who came to see him reminded him of his suffering. His wife advised him to curse God and die, but Job, standing his ground said, “………the counsel of the wicked is far from me” (Job 21:16). Job was able to stand his ground because he refused the wrong counsel.

What people need today to strengthen the virtue of prudence is the counsel of God’s Word; nothing else can replace it. It’s the only correct answer to every human need or desire. “The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge” (Proverbs 18:15). You must make personal efforts to study God’s Word. This way, your path in life will be directed by the Word of God. This is what will guide you into making the right decisions.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You because You have endowed me with prudence and have made me wise in heart. Open my eyes to see my way in life and enlighten my understanding so I can get things right the first time, in Jesus Christ Name, 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!

How’s your marriage?

Consider it your Testore cello! This finely constructed, seldom-seen instrument has reached the category of rare—nearly priceless. Few musicians are privileged to play a Testore, even fewer are able to own one.

On your wedding day, God loaned you His work of art, an intricately crafted, precisely formed masterpiece. He entrusted you with a one-of-a-kind creation.

Value her. Honour him. Having been blessed with a Testore, why fiddle around with anyone else?

Solomon missed this. He collected wives as trophies. He saw spouses as a means to his pleasure, not a part of God’s plan. Don’t make his mistake.

Be fiercely loyal to one spouse. Fiercely loyal.

Don’t even look twice at someone else. No flirting. No teasing. No loitering at her desk.

Who cares if you come across as rude or a prude?

You’ve made a promise. Keep it!

 

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 On God’s Mind

He Died For You!

Deuteronomy 7:13 says:

“He will love you and bless you, so that you will increase in number and have many children; He will bless your fields, so that you will have corn, wine, and olive oil; and He will bless you by giving you all these blessings in the land that He promised your ancestors He would give to you.”

Notice that when God makes a promise, He makes it not just to the one who hears it, but to all of the future seed. When God said He would send His Son to die for our sins so that we could be blessed because when we have turned from our iniquities, He did it so that we could receive the blessing. Jesus died, not for His sins, but for our sins, and He died for our sins, bearing our curse, so that we could be blessed with His righteousness and His blessing. Today, think about how God sent His Son for you; not just for the people of yesterday, but for the people of the future. You were in the future in Christ‘s mind when He died on the cross.
You were on His mind!

 

 

 

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!

Sorrow And Bitterness

Sorrow And Bitterness

 

Proverbs 15:13 says: “A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken”

 

 

 

 

Sorrow and bitterness are two things that should never be found in the life of a Christian. They could create an opening for devils to attack your mind and body. There’s something about sorrow, sadness and bitterness that attracts the devil, and he’ll take advantage of every little situation. Whenever someone is bitter or sorrowing about something, be sure of one thing; an evil spirit is waiting to get on the case. Let me expatiate with this illustration.

Put a sweet or sugary substance on the table and leave it there for a while. Before long, ants will begin to gather around and feed on the substance. Ants possess an instinctive propensity to seek out sweet things. Though you can’t tell where the ants came from they’ll surely find their way to the substance. Demons are that way as well.

Sorrow and bitterness are serious troubles that you shouldn’t take lightly. Nobody wants to be sorrowful or bitter for a long time. Therefore, when you meet someone who is persistently sorrowful and bitter, then you’ve got to realize that another force is motivating such persistence. Such a man or woman must begin to renew his or her mind with the Word of God; otherwise, he or she is headed for serious trouble.

The Bible says, “Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26-27). Therefore, if you’re bitter against someone or sorrowful about an unfortunate event in your life, it’s time for you to wake up and take charge of your life with the Word of God!

You may have been sorrowing because of the loss of a loved one, I want to remind you 1 Thessalonians 4:13 says “………that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Furthermore, give no room for bitterness in your life. The Bible says, “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice” (Ephesians 4:31). Don’t give the devil a foothold in your life.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I give every hurt and pains that I may be harbouring in my heart to You. I ask that You heal every wound (physical or emotional) in my life. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I put away sorrow and bitterness from my life and I yield to the healing and cleansing power of Your Word, in Jesus Christ Name, 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!

Cutting Your Expenses

Cutting Your Expenses

 

 

 

 

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down
first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish
it?
Luke 14:28
Another guideline to correctly managing God’s money is to cut your
expenses. If you are in debt because you lusted after things, you are
in sin. First, you need to repent. You violated Scripture. Secondly,
you need to downsize: buy a smaller house and a less expensive car. You
can then take that money you were using before and pay off all your
bills. After a year or two, you will have some money in the bank. God
will cause more abundance to come your way because you obeyed Him, then
you can go buy a bigger house and a better car, with cash. It happens
all the time to people who obey the Word.

 

 

 

 

 

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!

Occupy Till I Come

Occupy till I come

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and
said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luke 19:13
God does not measure His wealth in silver and gold; God measures
His wealth in Souls. The individual that doesn’t do what God has called
them to do is not pleasing to God. You are not pleasing God if you have
not found the place God has called you to be and doing what He has
called you to do. Only then are you productive. Only then are you
fulfilling His plan for you. He called you for a specific time, to a
specific place and to some specific people in order to do a specific
thing. You do not get rewarded for anything outside of that. The rest
of it is all wood, hay, and stubble.
That’s why the first thing I did when God called me to the ministry was
take months praying about one thing: “Lord, what have you called me to
do? Where do you want me to be?” When He told me that, the next thing I
did was to act on it so I could be pleasing to God. Faith’s purpose is
to fulfil that. The walk of faith is not about how much money you can
get. It is not about how many houses you can get. It is not about all
the other stuff you can get. It is about Soul Winning!

Think on These Things

* John 12:26
* Galatians 1:10

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!

A person is made right with God through faith

If you’re trying to save yourself—you never know for sure about anything.

If you’ve hurt enough.  Wept enough.  Learned enough.  Those who’re trying to save themselves promote themselves.

Those saved by works display works.

Those saved by suffering unveil scars.

And those saved by doctrine—well—you got it.  They wear their doctrines on their sleeves.

Dare you stand before God and ask him to save you because of your suffering or your sacrifice or your tears or your study?

Neither do I.  Nor did Paul.

Good works, suffering, or study may be the result of salvation, they’re not the cause of it!

How will you escape God’s judgment?  One way:  through faith in God’s sacrifice.

It’s not what you do—it’s what He did!

 

 

 

 

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!
