The House Of God, The Church Of Jesus Christ, A Wonderful Place To Be
Psalm 122:1 CEV “It made me glad to hear them say, “Let’s go to the house of the LORD!””
The church is called “…the house of God, …the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). This is why it’s so important for every Christian to be a committed member of a church (a local assembly). It’s a place of uplifting, and, as David said, you should be excited to attend every time.
The Lord Jesus said, “You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you” (John 15:3). He builds, cleanses, and perfects you through His Word. So, if you don’t give yourself to the ministry of the Word, you’ll make unnecessary and sometimes costly errors (Mark 12:24). This is why coming together with God’s people is very essential. It’s one of the ways that you present yourself to the ministry of the Word, through the Holy Spirit.
There’s so much you’ll learn in church that will guarantee you the God-kind of success, and a gloriously bright future when you put them to work. So don’t plan to miss out on the next church meeting!
Hebrews 10:25
Acts 2:42
Ephesians 4:11-12
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the Body of Christ, to which I belong. I’m excited to gather with my fellow Christians in your presence. Just like David, my heart is filled with joy at every opportunity for the fellowship of the Spirit with fellow Christians, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The words you speak are alive and full of power. Your words are powerful enough to change your life, and the situation around you. This is why you have to watch what you say.
When David came against Goliath, he first attacked him with words. David said, “This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you…” (1 Samuel 17:46). David said it and believed it, and that’s exactly what happened.
So, store up the Word of God richly in your heart through study and meditation, and speak it in faith always.

I fill my heart with the Word of God as I study and meditate upon it diligently, and I speak it forth in faith taming the situations around me, and creating miracles. Hallelujah!

God has anointed you to be a blessing to your world
Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Deuteronomy 28:3
You have been anointed to bless your world. When God called Abraham, He blessed him and his seed and made him a blessing too (Genesis 12:2). You’re the seed of Abraham, and the Bible says, “So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” (Galatians 3:9), that’s you!
Therefore, as you step out today, be conscious of this blessing as you share the Word with others. When you do so, you’re blessing them with the goodness, mercy, and peace of God.

The Majestic Kingdom Of God. God’s Kingdom Is Full Of Glory And Power
TO THE BIBLE
Psalm 145:10-12 TLB “All living things shall thank you, Lord, and your people will bless you. They will talk together about the glory of your kingdom and mention examples of your power. They will tell about your miracles and about the majesty and glory of your reign.”
LET’S TALK
Our opening scripture tells us something striking about the Kingdom of God that we’re a part of: it’s a majestic Kingdom full of glory and power! In God’s Kingdom, there’s beauty and splendour, and we need to have our spiritual eyes open to see and appreciate the awesomeness of God’s glorious Kingdom that we were born into! It’s a Kingdom where sickness isn’t real! It’s a Kingdom where defeat is foreign, where you just can’t lose or be disadvantaged!
This is the Kingdom to which you belong. 1 Peter 2:9 AMPC proves this: “…You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” See that? We’re the ones to produce glory in the Kingdom, and spread it abroad, hallelujah!
As you function with the mindset of one that can’t be defeated—a victor who’s super-intelligent, and excellent all the way—you show forth the glory of the Kingdom. Glory is that which inspires honour and produces worship; as you function in the Kingdom, doing and saying things that’ll inspire honour, reverence, praise, and worship of the Lord, you reveal the glory of His eternal Kingdom.
GO DEEPER
John 15:5
Ephesians 2:10
PRAY
Dear Father, I thank you for calling me into your glorious Kingdom, making me a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light! I walk in your glory, dominion and power today, showing forth your wonderful deeds, and displaying the virtues, perfections, and excellence of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart (Luke 18:1 NKJV).
The Lord Jesus was very prayerful when He walked the earth. The Bible says, “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35). In another instance, Luke recorded that “…he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God” (Luke 6:12). He had an effective prayer life, which the Bible enjoins us to emulate.
He said in Luke 18:1, “…men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” The Apostle Paul reiterated the same thing; he said, “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). In 1 Timothy 2:8, he said, “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” This is God’s admonition to us. We’re to live a life of prayer. How important this is!
Having an effective prayer life isn’t just so we could fulfil some religious obligations, no! This is where a lot of people miss it. First, prayer is a privilege; it’s a right given to us to communicate with the Father in faith, through His Word, and by the Holy Ghost. That opportunity that’s given to us to pray is something the Father always wants us to seize.
Secondly, when Jesus said men ought always to pray and not to faint, He was looking at the connection that we have with the Father in our constant communication that builds faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17). Through that fellowship, we keep hearing the Word because the Father always speaks; He always talks to us; He always shares His Word with us.
That’s why Paul taught us to pray, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14). The word “communion” is translated from the Greek “Koinonia”, which also means fellowship. Learn to take time away from everything else to talk to the Lord in prayer; it’ll bring an extraordinary transformation into your life that you never thought possible.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the extraordinary benefit of an effective prayer life. I take advantage of the privilege and opportunity of prayer; I pray in the authority of the Word and its revelation and insight. Even now, I pray for men everywhere, proclaiming the favour of God and dominion of righteousness over the nations and their leaders, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Announce The Good News Of Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son Of God
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead (Romans 1:1-4).
The Bible says Jesus was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. He’s alive forevermore! Something else so beautiful to notice is the actual meaning of the phrase “Son Of God”; it means God in human flesh. And that’s why the Jews crucified Jesus because, by their law, Jesus made Himself equal with God when He said He was the Son of God.
But He is Himself God; that’s what the Bible shows. Titus 2:13-14 calls Him “the Great God:” “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” This is the Jesus that I tell you about.
In Acts 1, after His resurrection, as He spoke with His disciples and answered their questions, the Bible says, “…while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight” (Acts 1:9). They saw Him go up to heaven; He didn’t suddenly vanish; He levitated before their eyes. Hallelujah! The Bible says they “…looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up…” (Acts 1:10).
That was the most glorious thing to ever happen in this world: Jesus, not only did He rise from the dead, but also physically levitated—and they watched Him as He went up into heaven. Blessed be God! The Bible says two men appeared in white apparel and said to the disciples: “Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). This is the same announcement we must make to the whole world today.
Tell everyone throughout this world that Jesus was raised from the dead and that He ascended to heaven. He’s coming back again! It’s your job to announce this good news everywhere. Let those around you know that Jesus is coming back again, and it’s sooner than they imagine.
CONFESSION
I’m bold and passionate in my intent to preach the Gospel to all those around me, for I’m the bearer of the Lord’s glory and righteousness in the world, the distributor of His mercies and grace. I pray now, that righteousness is poured forth upon the nations today, resulting in an avalanche of souls coming into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Cleansing Word Of God. Stay Clean With God’s Word And Spirit
TO THE BIBLE
1 Peter 1:2 RSV “Chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you .”
If your mind isn’t constantly renewed and sanctified by God’s Word, it would occasionally pick up the wrong stuff and act them out. This is because the carnal pictures, images, words, ideas, and imaginations that were in your mind before you were born again don’t automatically leave your mind! You’d have to replace them with God’s holy thoughts, His holy words, and the manifestation of His Kingdom. His Word is the divine cleanser as Jesus said in John 15:3 AMPC: “You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].”
After you’re born again, the Spirit of God uses His Word to take the “dirt” out of your life. He cleanses your mind because even though your spirit is born again and alive to God, your mind still needs to be renewed: “…Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2).
Then in John 17:17, He said, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” God’s Word displaces unrighteousness from a person’s heart and replaces it with God’s righteousness. It wipes out fear and replaces it with faith.
Colossians 3:16 tells us, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom….” Those desires to make the wrong choices, or to go in the way of the world and act like you used to before coming to Christ, can only be gotten rid of through God’s Word. Therefore, cleanse yourself with God’s Word, and stay pure in Him today and always.
Go Deeper
Psalm 119:9; John 15:3; John 17:17
Pray
Dear Father, I thank you for the sanctification of my mind through the ministry of your Word and the Holy Spirit. My focus is on your Word and as I give it my attention, the Word cleanses and sanctifies my mind, getting rid of everything that’s inconsistent with your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22
Read: . Matthew 7:24-27
24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
MESSAGE:
James 1:22-25 tells us that we must not be hearers only, but doers of the word of God. It says that people who are not doers of the word are deceiving themselves and are qualified to be called fools. According to our Bible reading for today, a fool is someone who hears the word and will not act on it. Such a person is like someone who is building a house on sand. Some of the people God called fools according to Psalm 14:1 are those who say that there is no God.
If I were to ask many Christians if they believe there is God, they are likely to say ‘Sure’. The question is, why then are they careless with His words? Those He calls fools are those who do not take His words seriously.
Those who don’t obey the word of God do not have the fear of God. Proverbs 1:7 says
that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
If we all fear the Almighty God, we will not disobey His words. Those who disobey God are fools.
For some people, their ideology is, “I obey when I want, the way I want, and only the part of the word that is convenient for me.”
Such people have lost the fear of God. In Matthew 21:28-32, Jesus told the story of a father who said to his son, “Go and work on my farm.” The son replied, “I am not going.” He later repented and went. How can your father give you an instruction, and you tell him to his face, “I am not going?” If you were raised the way I was, some lashes will definitely follow such effrontery. As for the second son, the father also gave him an instruction, and he said he will obey, but he did not obey. Proverbs 25:19 says that such a son is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint; someone who lets you down at a critical moment.
However, there was a third son that you may not easily notice in that passage; He was the one telling the story. Jesus Christ Himself was the Son who said, “I will go,” and went Isaiah 6:8. In Matthew 26:39, this same Son said, “…not as I will, but as thou wilt.”
Let your disposition to God’s word always be, “Not as I will, but as thou wilt.” My prayer is that you will always do the will of God, just like Jesus Christ.
Key Point:
Obey the word of God promptly and completely at all times, whether it is convenient or not.
PRAYER POINTS
1. I bless the All-Wise God who holds my tomorrow in His Hands
2. Father, I ask for the grace to be a prompt doer of Your instructions in Jesus Name.
3. Father, deliver me from self-deceit and going into error in Jesus Name
4. Father, in Your mercies help me never to allow the deceitfulness of sin harden my heart in Jesus Name.
5. Father, give me the understanding never to provoke You to anger but please You with my lifestyle in Jesus Name
6. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I shall not be a fair weather Christian…a believer who obeys when it’s only convenient
7. Father, take my life and use it for your pleasure in Jesus Name

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. Psalm 138:8
Every born again child of God was born perfect through the Word OF God. God’s Word perfects everything about you; this includes your health, and academics.
Therefore, if there’s an area in your life you feel you’re not at your best, you can bring perfection to it! Speak faith filled words over that area; say what the Word has said boldly. It might be your health; declare that by His stripes you were healed, and you walk in divine health. This is how to bring perfection into every area of your life through God’s Word.

Proverbs 4:18
Confession:
I speak words of power, and faith over my health, academics, country, and family. I declare that the peace, and power of God reigns now and always, in Jesus’ Name!

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ Jesus. Exploring The Benefits That Come With Being Justified Righteous In The Eyes Of God By Our Faith In Christ Jesus
TEXT: ROMANS 5:12-21
INTODUCTION/SUMMARY
The book of Romans is highly praised for clearly articulating key doctrines such as man’s Sinfulness, Justification by faith, Regeneration, Union with Christ, Adoption, and Sanctification. The book of Romans is known for its rich, deep, glorious, and at times unsettling theological assertions and implications.
Running through chapters 1 -4, Paul highlights how humanity deliberately walk and continue to walk in disobedience; and that man, Jews and Gentiles alike needed restoration. He further declares the goal of his apostleship which is to bring about the obedience of faith clarifying that believing and obeying must necessarily go together and should never be pitted against each other.
Today, we are continuing the study looking at chapters 5 and 6, to review Paul’s comparison of Adam and Christ Jesus; and what their choices brought to humanity (world), exploring the benefits that comes with being justified righteous in the eyes of God by our faith in Christ Jesus and negating the common misconception about salvation by grace through faith.
CHAPTER 5:
The key objectives of studying chapter 5 is to further understand how God demonstrated His love for mankind, by taking the first step to reconciliation not waiting for man to be strong and perfect but while we were still sinners sent Jesus Christ to die for us.
2. That we are no longer enemies of God because of sin but reconciled forever children of God through Christ.
3. That by one man (Adam) the whole of humanity was dead in sin and by one man (Jesus Christ) humanity is now dead to sin and restored by faith,.
4. That faith in Christ Jesus, not works is the means by which God declares us righteous and justified.
Outlines:
Faith in Christ Jesus and the cross is the way to salvation/Justification; and therefore the foundation of our walk with God. Is salvation/Justification solely by faith?
Benefits of justification – Rom 5:1-4
• Peace with God
• We stand in God’s grace
• We have hope for eternal glory
By one man’s disobedience all were made sinners – Gen 3, Rom 5:12-14.
Solidarity in guilt implies solidarity in penalty – Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4
Sin and death principle – Psalms 51:5, Psalms 58:3, Job 14:4
By obedience of One (Christ Jesus) all are made righteous by faith Romans 5:15-19
CHAPTER 6:
The key objective in this chapter is
1. Refute the misconception that grace is latitude for sin – Rom 6:1-2.
2. Paul’s admonition that Christians should not continue in sin, once they have been declared righteous by God.
3. How a Christian sees himself is an important component of the “obedience of faith”
Outline
God’s grace is greater than sin: Rom 6:1-2
Crucified with Christ Rom 6:3-6
**Apostle Paul throw more light on what happens when a person comes to faith in Christ on a spiritual level – he said such a person experiences spiritual death to sin, rather than to God; and a rebirth that equals Jesus’ own physical death and resurrection. The person is then raised to a new spiritual life.
Not a slave to sin – Rom 6:4-14
Consider yourself dead to sin – Rom 6:11
Lifestyle of volunteer slavery to righteousness – 6:15-23

Church Security. God protects His Church. God is deeply interested in the spiritual and physical safety of His Church
INTRODUCTION:
The Almighty God is deeply interested in the spiritual and physical safety of His Church. God protects His Church. We should be prepared to do what needs to be done to protect ourselves, but our overall safety is of the Lord. See Proverbs 21:31; Psalm 127:1.
It will therefore be foolish not to take the measures that are within our purview to protect ourselves.
There is a general misconception that since our security is in the hands of God, we do not need to bother ourselves much about security issues.
Indeed Psalm 91 and Psalm 127:1 and many others offer solid assurances to us about God’s protective shield over His children. But we will also note that David who wrote Psalm 91, 46, 23 and many others had body guards. See 2Chronicles 11: 24 – 26; 2 Samuel 23:22-24.
David chose the best among the warriors as his own personal security guards. Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was one of David’s “mighty men”, a collection of the very best, the toughest military men.
The Bible describes Benaiah as a fearless warrior noted for his heroic exploits. 1 Chronicles 11:22. Throughout his reign David maintained a very powerful standing army. 2 Samuel 8:18; 20:23; 23:23; 1Chronicles 18:17.
God expects us to be mindful of our physical security.
GOD IS INTERESTED IN SECURITY
Security as a concept originated from God. God takes security very seriously; He neither sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121:4). See also Genesis 3:24; Isaiah 14:12-20; Revelation 12:7-9. God is actually the Commander of the host of heaven – He is charge of the security of the world. God is Jehovah Sabaoth. Psalm 46:7. God watches after the world. Psalm 127:1.
There are biblical references which support the view that God is invested and interested in security.
In Genesis 3:24, we see a cherubim guarding the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword.
The Bible describes Angel Michael in terms that reflect his status as a warrior leading an uncountable number of very powerful fighting angels who excel in strength. Psalms 103:20.
Michael the Archangel is in a sense, Heaven’s 5-star General. See Daniel 10:1321; 12:1; Revelation 12:7-8.
Believers must therefore note the following facts:
1. It is God, not humans that invented security. Genesis 3:24, Isaiah 14:12-20; Revelation 12:7-9.
2. God has emplaced security in the present heaven. Isaiah 14:12-20; Revelation 12:7-9.
3. God deployed security to guard the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:23-24.
4. God has designed a security architecture for the coming New Heaven and New Earth. Revelation 21:12. The gates of the New Heaven and New Earth will be guarded by angels. Revelation 21:27.
5. Our protection is God’s duty, and this is guaranteed. See Psalm 121:4. 6. God deploys chariots for the protection and defence of His choice vessels whose destinies and ministries are tied to destinies of nations. See 2Kings 6:16-18. 7. We must fulfil our part in God’s security architecture for the Church. Do not take chances with Church security. See Ephesians 4:27, 1Peter 5:8.
PYSICAL SECURITY IN THE BIBLE
There are many instances in the Bible to support the view that God wants us to be proactive concerning our physical safety.
Moses defended the daughters of Jethro when other shepherds drove them and their flocks away from the watering place. See Exodus 2:16-17.
The ancient congregations of Israel had gatekeepers who watched out for danger. Let us not be “in the spirit” such that we neglect to do the things that God requires us to do for our safety. See 1 Chron 9:21-24, Nehemiah 4:10-23. But more critically, see Luke 22:36.
The Church must protect itself from enemies that will easily harm us if we are not watching.
God expects us to be wise. See also, Numbers 1:53, 2Kings 11:7, 11, Esther 8:10-11, Exodus 2:16-17, Judges 2:16, Psalm 94:16, Ezekiel 33:1-9, Luke 22:36-38 and Psalm 144:1, 6.
The Bible has a lot to say about not ignoring physical safety.
In Luke 22:36, the Lord directed His disciples to carry a sword for protection.
Paul the Apostle was kept from those who would have harmed him on many occasions. See Acts 9:25; 17:10; 19:30; and 23:10.
Nehemiah trusted God for the safety of the children of Israel but they held swords in one hand for their protection as they built the broken-down walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 4:18.
Father Abraham had trained security guards. Genesis 14:14.
The Lord told us to turn the other cheek in Matt 5:39, but this was within the framework of self-control in personal interactions. He commanded the disciples to be armed for their protection in perilous times or situations. See Luke 22:36-38.
Consider this:
1. The Levites were not only to help the priests in their service and administration, but also to be guards for the Tabernacle, and later for the Temple. See Numbers 1:53.
2. Benaiah who was a member of King David’s team tagged his mighty men, was the son of Jehoiada, a priest. See 1Chron 11:21-23; 12:27.
3. After the usurper, Queen Athaliah had reigned for eight years, the High Priest Jehoiada had Levites who were Temple guards to serve as the personal bodyguards for Prince Joash as he was crowned the King. See 2 Kings 11:17-11.
4. God always raised men and women in the mould of military leaders to rescue Israel from their oppressors. See Judges 2:16.
5. When Mordecai became the Prime Minister of Persia, he authorized the Jews to defend themselves if attacked. See Esther 8:9-11.
6. In the Old Testament, God promised the Israelites that they would dwell in the land in safety if they obeyed His commandments. He was guaranteeing their safety. Deuteronomy 12:10. See Leviticus 25:18–19; 26:37. The Israelites defended themselves against the Amalekites after leaving Egypt. See Exodus 17:8-16. 8. The Lord Jesus taught His disciples the importance of self-defence. See Luke 22:35-36.
CONCLUSION
Children of God must be actively involved in designing physical security measures to keep worshippers safe. There were angels all around baby Jesus, but Joseph played his part.
Matthew 2:12-15. Believers must proactively prepare for unforeseen security challenges.
Proverbs 22:3. We must responsibly protect our worship places and homes.
Luke 11:2. Saints of God must be security conscious at all times, but not out of fear.
Matthew 24:43. It is Biblical to defend ourselves against attackers, in concert with state security agents.
Esther 8:10-11. We are to watch and pray.
Mathew 26:4. Vigilance must precede our prayers. Vigilance should and must be our watchword at all times. The fact is security begins with you the individual. You are in reality the best security officer for your life and personal property. It is true that as children of God, we are encompassed with a network of angelic guards (Psalm 91:1, 11-12) and in some cases, human security operatives, but we must take charge of our personal and collective safety. This has to remain our personal nonexchangeable responsibility (Nehemiah 4:9).

Say these with me, “I can never be sick, I can never be diseased, because Jesus paid the price for my health. Sickness is foreign to my body, in the Name of Jesus. My testimony is that of health, peace, prosperity, wealth, and joy. I walk in the blessings of God. My life does not know sorrow, I am moving upward and forward only, in the Name of Jesus. My path is the path of the just; therefore it shines brighter and brighter unto a perfect day. Every day of my life, I get stronger; I am moving from glory to glory, from faith to faith, and from strength to strength.”

The Word of God propels and inspires the right actions in me always
I declare confidently that I am reigning in righteousness, growing in grace, wisdom, and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am making my way prosperous, making progress, and dealing wisely in all my affairs because the Word of God propels and inspires the right actions in me always.
This Month, through my faith-filled Confessions and Declarations through the Daily CONFESSIONS, I cause circumstances to align with the Father’s perfect will for my life and I do not struggle, but enjoy unstoppable growth and progress as I receive guidance in the Word from the Lord Himself in this my Month of Supernatural Accomplishments!
Assuredly, I dwell in safety, and I am shielded from the insecurity, economic troubles, disappointments, poverty, anger, frustration, and discomfort in this present world by the power of God’s Spirit in the Precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
All the Glory to Our God!
Hallelujah!!!
Thank You Jesus,
Salvation Prayers
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.

Today I’ll be talking to us briefly on the topic “No More Reproach”, and the text is taken from Joshua 5: 3-9.
A reproach is a state of shame or loss of honor and goodwill; it is a stigma, it’s a taboo, or an abomination or shortcomings; it’s a state of disgrace.
What are the major causes of reproach?
Failure:it simply means lack of success. Luke 5:5.
Barrenness: can either mean not good enough or a state of not producing fruit or seed. Mark 11: 12 – 14, 1st Samuel 1: 1 -10, Genesis 30: 1 & 2.
Debt or indebtedness: arise(s) as a result of lack of cash flow or revenue; it’s a state of cash crunch and bankruptcy; it’s a state of default in meeting financial obligations as at when due. 2nd Kings 4.
Disability: is a state of physical or mental condition that makes you not to be able to apply a part of your body either completely or partially; it’s a state of incapacitation. John 5, Acts of Apostles 3: 1 & 2.
Slavery, bondage and oppression. Exodus 3: 1-8.
Sin, ignorance and the devil. Romans 6: 23.
Thank You Jesus,
