This chapter is similar to what is obtainable today. We have continually disobeyed God and his commandments, we have sinned; sins of fornication, adultery, lying, cheating, anger and others, both those committed knowingly and the ones done by mistake. Also See: What is True Repentance? During the days of Ezra, the prophet narrates the sins of Israel, how they abandoned God’s commandments, especially on instructions giving about intermarriage with tribes that practices idolatry and other sins they have been warned to desist from. In Ezra 9:2, the prophet, “For the men of Israel have married women from these people and have taken them as wives for their sons. So the holy race has become polluted by these mixed marriages. Worse yet, the leaders and officials have led the way in this outrage” But they repented after they realized they had sinned. After being told of the disobedience to God, they repented. Also See: Repentance Brings Forgiveness and Favor Let me tell you something my friend. God is capable of forgiving you all your iniquities- believe me, but you first admit that you sinned; confess your sins God will forgive you. Be if fornication, adultery, lies, whatever! But you must be truly repentant. Not just saying it with mouth, but believing sincerely in your heart that you sinned and truthfully seek for forgiveness. People may not know what is on your mind, but God sees your heart, he sees it because he is present everywhere. He can see the tiniest veins in your body. The prophet said in verse 8 of Ezra 9, “But now we have been given a brief moment of grace, for the LORD our God has allowed a few of us to survive as a remnant” So when you keep escaping death and you continue to, and you keep thinking it’s because you are smart, you think it’s your wisdom, let me tell you, it is by the grace of God that you have been kept alive! Also See: Come Let Us Return To The Lord Those sins have captured you and put you into stagnation, either in an aspect of your life, or in the whole areas of your life. It can affect your finance, marriage, productivity, fertility, joy, and so on…, it is those sins; your disobedience to God Almighty, they are the cause if your calamities! God is telling you to stop fornicating, stop adultery, you have refused to stop, you are catching fun, and sometimes you travel out of town to see another woman who is not your wife, risking accidents. Come to think of it, what if something terrible happens to either of the party during this unholy union? What if you get caught, what if you catch a deadly disease in the process, what if your lose your focus on life in the process? But the short moment of enjoyment is preferable! Well, the good news is that the children of Israel repented, the prophet said in verse 10 of Ezra 9, “And now, o our God, what can we say after all of this? For once again we have abandoned your commands! Your servants the prophets warned us when they said; the land you are entering to possess is totally defiled by detestable practices; corruption and so forth! Also See: What is sin? Don’t fornicate, don’t commit adultery, don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t cheat, stop yahoo-yahoo, stop fraud, stop kidnapping, and stop money rituals. But because you we have continued to sin and displease God, stealing, cheating, killing and causing mayhem here and there, all the time…. Hear this, please listen attentively! Ezra 9: 13, “Now we are being punished because of our wickedness and our great guilt. But with all our sins we don’t receive so much punishment because God allows us to survive as remnants. But if you repent and ask God for forgiveness, like the Israelites said in Ezra 9:15, “O Lord, God of Israel, you are just. We come before you in our guilt as nothing but an escaped remnant, though in such a condition none of us can stand in your presence” And God forgave them. So you need to be truly repentant. Ask God to forgive you, mean it and deliberately make a change for the better. Thank you Source: https://www.citiofgod.info/2019/01/you-will-only-be-forgiven-when-you-have.html |

In so many ways he was very popular, influential and a good speaker. In those days when there was no means of using public address system, he spoke to 5,000 people who sat outside, no canopies, no tent, just in the open field, and they sat, listening to him for hours, without food. Who else can be this popular, even in this current world, that things are much easier! If you have read about prophets in the Old Testament before Jesus Christ, you will notice that as strong as they were in prophesies, prayers and even miracles, they were not strong teachers like Jesus. Many preachers sprang up after the death of Jesus almost all of them using the pattern and life of Jesus to teach people up to our present time. That means, his influence is still on, up to this current generation. Isn't that very awesome! He lived thousands of years ago, don't forget. There were preachers in the Old Testament more than the few most of us know, they were very influential and popular too, but didn't have much direct followers like Jesus had, is influence is still being used by most Christians in the world today. Whenever Jesus was teaching, there are usually thousands of people sitting to listen to him preach. Even in our present day with all the modern technologies, you can hardly find a preacher that pastors 1000 people at a time, not to talk of 5000 or 10,000 as we see Jesus did in the books of Matthew to Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. Even when Jesus preached in the rain or in the sun, there were thousands gathered to listen to him. Why? Because he taught with authority, He was an authority and still is an authority.He was very influential, he had lots of integrity, he was a very courageous leader and people simply followed him, because they trust him. Spiritually, Jesus Christ owns the key of heaven where everything about life comes from, He is therefore an authority in heaven; He can authoritatively speak on any subject matter because He has the key that answers all things. He knows it all! Matthew 7:28-29 says, “When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowd were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real- authority- quite unlike their teachers of religious law”. You see why those ones were not so popular, they did not teach with authority, they lacked knowledge and even the integrity to say the things the learned because it may go contrary to their way of life. Their preaching are have been corrupted, they live a larger-than -life, lifestyle! Do you know the most interesting part of it, Jesus said, those who believe those things He did, can even do much better than him. Look at that! But that doesn't come easy. It comes with a lot of sacrifice. You MUST follow diligently the words and commandments of God. When you teach with authority you can attract larger crowds because everyone wants to hear from someone with authority. You will become an influential man, honorable man, with very large crowd. Your influence with become limitless. You can start today, teach someone, preach to somebody, evangelize to someone about God today. Teach someone about the commandments of God today. It starts with one person then it grows into thousands. God bless you. Notice: Unless otherwise indicated, all scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation.

You are a creature of value. God have deposited seeds of greatness within you. We must have a vision for total life success- family, finance, health etc Nothing great happens by accident- it is a function of right principles applied. There are various laws of greatness; we have talked about vision; growth- that is personal development. Today we want to talk about the law of the tongue. The words of today are the harvest of tomorrow. We are created in the image of God and our words create or recreate our world. Until you are able to tame your tongue you are not ready to build a great life. Everyone will eat the fruit of their sayings, its just a matter of time. If you study Genesis, in the account of creation, the very last part. We discover that the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Actually, what God wanted to do was to recreate and the strategy was a spoken word. God created by speaking to the situation. He never spoke the negative circumstance, he spoke the promise, he spoke what he wanted. That is worthy of note. Severally in that chapter, you see, “and God said”…. and God said”…. and God said”…. And the very last part, started with, “and God saw” You are created in the image of God. What you say, you will eventually see. All the things that God said in the beginning he eventually saw. The things you are saying today are the things you will see tomorrow- it’s the law of life. … and God saw everything that he had made. And behold it was very good.

1. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6) Now you have to understand this; it is not a bad defending the rights of others, protecting other people is not a bad cause, though some people may misinterpret your cause; a lot people are of the mindset that it is not your business to defend others, they will say, “What is your own business there?” In fact some people even see you defending yourself as bad. They want you to just keep shut when you are cheated, you shouldn’t ask for justice. Yet the Bible says you are blessed when you hunger and thirst for justice because you will be satisfied. To be satisfied means you will get justice, it means you will get the desired results from that petition. 2. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matthew 5: 7) When you are merciful, you are kind, and you will receive kindness, when you are merciful, you are quick to forgive, and you will receive forgiveness, when you are merciful, you are compassionate, and you will receive compassion. Let me give you an illustration; maybe you are this kind of person people always come to you for help and assistance like money, valuable advises, counseling, and any form of help, every time they come to you, you always give, you always help, you don’t care whether it’s your last penny, you don’t care whether anyone else has helped you, you always have mercy on others even when it is not convenient for you. Sometimes you may even get hurt for the help you rendered, for the mercy you showed, yet you still help, yet you still showed mercy. It is you the Bible is referring to here. Let me authoritatively inform you today, your mercy is not wasted because the Bible says, blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. One day you will be stranded on a lonely road, it could be a broken down vehicle, it may even be in another different situation, may you need an urgent financial assistance, or you have a challenge that you need someone to advice you, and from nowhere, from someone you don’t know from anywhere, you will receive mercy. Your vehicle might breakdown on a dangerous road full of armed robbers, rapists, and you are in danger of attack, and someone from nowhere just stops by to give you a help! You will be wondering what you did that made the person to show you such kindness, it’s your past sowing… whatever a man sows he shall reap, good or bad! You have been sowing good and now the Bible says, you will reap good, it says, because you are merciful are you are blessed, and because you are blessed, you will also receive mercy.

If you are still putting your trust on that uncle or on that great connection you have or your money and skills, yes it may work for you now, but please while using those great resources, put your trust in God or else they will fail you someday! Unless you believe in God, having only your trusts on him alone, and also making good use of those connections, skills and hard work, knowing that he is one who gives them to you, therefore you will not do anything that will displease him, you will not turn your heart from him, you will do all he has commanded. By refusing to trust in God and trusting your connections with people, see what is likely to happen.. This is what the Lord says: "Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. "They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land" Jeremiah 17 5-6 Source: http://citofgod..com.ng/2015/12/trusting-mere-man.html

Hypocrites are liars, slanderers and dishonest people. A hypocrite is someone who pretends to have certain beliefs or opinions that they do not really have. Hypocritical is behaving in a way that is different from what you claim to believe (Longman dictionary of contemporary English) In his letter to Timothy a leader of the church during his time, Paul said in 1 Timothy 4:1-4 (NLT) , "Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead. Read more >> http://citofgod..com.ng/2015/12/a-hypocrite.html

Life is a function of personal adventure, the wiser you are, the better you live. Greatness is a function of wisdom" Any organization that will be great has to take responsibility by itself. The greatness of any organization is not going to come from outside it; it's going to come from within it. The global impact mandate- the greatness mandate will not be achieved through any outside ministry, no one will help us to achieve it, we have to take responsibility by ourselves if we must realize the global impact mandate. That's why I believe that God is calling us to impact and to impart men and women in the church for the global impact effect and I want everyone to take it serious. But what I must say is this, "the duty of a lecturer is to ensure that he lectures his students, but who will succeed in the class is not the lecturer's responsibility but that of the students".

After the Israelites had demanded that Samuel give them a new leader, a king, God choose Saul. Saul was a very handsome, tall man (Like a present world “Mr. Universe”. See the way he was described in 1 Samuel 9:2, “Most handsome man in Israel- head and shoulders taller than anyone else in the land. But because he was from the smallest town of Israel- Benjamin, even though his father was very wealthy and influential in Israel, but because Saul was from a small town, some looked down on him, so many refused to accept him as their king. Now he has to prove his worth, he must prove that he was truly chosen by God for him to have a total acceptance throughout the entire country. This is what happened… A particular tribe of Israel, Jabesh-Gilead was been threatened by a powerful king called Nahash of Ammon, the king wanted to take over their entire land and kill them, but the Jabesh-Gilead people tried to bargain with him, they asked to become slaves to him on their own land, in their own town, but the king gave them another condition to accept their proposals to be his slaves in their own town (Not funny at all!) The condition is this- they must allow him gouge out the right eye of everyone living there, then they can now become his slaves.

Maybe not even the smartest SAN in the country is going to be able to get him out of this. He remembers his friend Ahmed who was arrested for terrorism in South Africa when the country’s president decided to throw his weight and power, the South African government arrested him and charged him for terrorism acts. He was not going to allow his case to become like that of Ahmed, something must be done before it totally gets out of hand, and there must be a way to get out of this. "Need a drink?"

Meaning of Manasseh- "One who causes to forget." Reign from 55 years (697 - 642 B.C.) It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could turn out a son as evil as Manasseh. The wicked monarch reigned longer than any other king in Israel's history - 55 years. Among his transgressions (and there were many) was Manasseh's blatant worship of idols and his practice of pagan rituals. "And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger" (II Chronicles 33:6). When God's patience had run out, he sent the Assyrians to punish Jerusalem. They put a hook in Manasseh's nose and bound him in bronze shackles and carried him off to prison in Babylon.

King Josiah was Judah's last gasp — the last good thing that happened to the Israelites before their kingdom was destroyed. Josiah became king as a child of only eight, and soon took an interest in the LORD, contrary to his father King Amon. Early in life he instituted reforms and took steps against idol worship. At 25 years of age, Josiah decided to rebuild the LORD's temple, deteriorated with age. As the workers were cleaning, they found an obscure book that no one had ever heard of — the Bible, forgotten by previous generations. As the king listened to his secretary read the Bible, he was struck with grief and terror, certain the LORD was furious with Josiah and his people for their disobedience.

Women serves the Lord better than men; many women who serve the Lord are truly devoted to their service of the Lord, some notable women with achievements for serving the Lord in the Bible include: 1. Junia: there are many examples of women who served God as leaders in the New Testament church, teaching God’s truth and serving His church. The most imminent woman was Junia. In Romans 16: 7, Paul wrote “Greet Andronicus and Junia my fellow Jews, who were in prison with me. They are highly respected among the apostles and became followers of Christ before I did” 2. Phoebe: In Romans 16:1-2, Phoebe was described as a woman. During the winter of 55-56AD Paul dictated the Book of Romans to Tertius (Romans 16:22) and sent the epistle by Phoebe, who traveled over 800miles to Rome. Paul begins chapter 16 with an introduction of Phoebe “I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a deacon in the church in Cenchrea. Cenchrea is a port city very near Corinth. A sea voyage from there to Rome would be well over 800miles. For Phoebe to be traveling alone, by ship this great distance carrying this letter from Paul, proves that she was a woman of considerable faith, responsibility, and bravery. Paul continues, “Welcome her in the Lord as one who is worthy of honor among God’s people. Help her in whatever she needs, for she has been helpful to many and especially to me” This tells us that she would need help from the Christians at Rome in accomplishing the matter that caused her trip to Rome. She is in Rome apparently on church business, and carries the letter from Paul as her introduction to the church there. This brave woman of some authority has protected many and helped fund Paul and others. Paul could not make enough funds to pay for his long journeys; this capable woman minister was supplying some of the money Paul needed! And at this time protection too, was also often bought with money. Phoebe was a brave servant/minister and a wealthy protector of the brethren.

King Amon Practiced Idolatry and Reigned a Mere Two Years Little is recorded in the Bible about Manasseh's son, Amon. It is not known if Manasseh had any other surviving sons because he had participated in human sacrifice, burning his children alive in rituals of the worship of Molech. (2 Chronicles 33:6) What is known is that Amon was 22 when he began his reign as Judah's 15th king, and he did evil as his father had done. Amon worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols that his father had served. Amon's father, King Manasseh, had begun his reign at the age of 12. In his youthful, unrestrained activities, he rebuilt high places and altars that his father, Hezekiah, had broken down. Manasseh re-introduced forbidden practices to the people of Judah. He sacrificed his own children in the fires in the Valley of the Hinnom. He got involved with soothsaying, witchcraft, sorcery and spiritists. All of this surrounded Amon during his formative years, and no one, even a regretful Manasseh, steered him in any other direction. “Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.” (2 Chronicles 33:9) Read more >>http://citofgod..com.ng/2017/05/amon-king-of-judah.html

1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Learn something every day. If you only lean on your own knowledge in your business, you will not be able to grow. You must grow yourself to grow your business 2. “Behold, I am doing something new! It’s already happening; don’t you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land.” Isaiah 43:19 (GOD’S WORD® Translation) Sometimes your business will need to move as the market pulls you in a different direction. You might need to reinvent your business, and you should not be afraid. God’s always got your back. 3.”Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 (NIV) One of the most important things you can do for your business is to pray every day. 4. “Faith without works is dead.” James 2:26 (KJV) You can’t just pray for success. Develop a plan and work your plan. If you can do something about your situation, then do it. Stop making excuses, stop procrastinating, and do it! 5. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NIV) There will be contracts that you really need that you will not win. There will be days when you drop the ball on your customer service, but you can not let that define you or your business. You will get another opportunity and even if you don’t, God is with you always. 6. “As I think in my heart, so am I.” Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) Your thoughts can be your number #1 asset or your biggest liability. When you are alone in your office or back bedroom, your thoughts can easily turn on you. Your ability to stay positive, learn from all experiences and shake off mistakes quickly will be a big asset to you and your business.

Facts The name Bush baby comes from the animal's cries and dwarf appearance. They are almost exclusively seen at night, they have firm grip, can jump a long distance (they can jump up to 6.6 feet (2 m) in the air and it is believed this is due to elastic energy stored in the tendons of their lower legs) and can walk on their front two legs like a human or use all four like other animals. Bush babies are also called Galagos, they have large eyes that give them good night vision, strong hind limbs, acute hearing, and long tails that help them balance. Their ears are bat-like and allow them to track insects in the dark. They catch insects on the ground or snatch them out of the air. They are fast, agile creatures. As they bound through the thick bushes, they fold their delicate ears back to protect them. They have nails on most of their digits, except for the second toe of the hind foot, which bears a grooming claw. The fingernails are rounded like that of human, with the exception of the second toe which is modified as a toilet claw. This pointed claw is used to groom the head and neck fur and to clean the ears. The fingers and toes have flat disks of thickened skin which aid in grasping tree limbs and slippery surfaces.
