The Value of a Confidant

Fri, 31 Jul 2020

‘The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.’ 1 Samuel 18:1 KJV

It hurts when you discover that not everyone has your best interests at heart. So you must learn to be more discerning, and know on what level to interact with people. Usually only a few people belong in your inner circle. That’s why you must be wise when it comes to who you allow into that circle.

We see this illustrated in the lives of David and Jonathan. David was at odds with King Saul, the father of his best friend, Jonathan. Jonathan kept David’s secrets and protected him with his very life, even when faced with displeasing his own family. Jonathan wasn’t seeking to elevate himself, inflate his own self-importance, or orchestrate his own advancement through his relationship with David. Simply stated, they had a ‘soul connection’.

The strength of a confidant lies in their silence. If someone’s a gossiper, they automatically disqualify themselves. We must be able to rest in the security of these relationships, in order to express ourselves, gather information, and glean wise counsel. Otherwise, we reap the consequences of having the wrong people know too much about us.

Confidants not only maintain our secrets, they refuse to exploit that privileged information for their own gain. They really care about us, and don’t throw our past mistakes in our face. They refuse to utter the words ‘I told you so’. Such people are in your life for the long haul, and you must recognise and cherish them.

Your Daily ‘Spiritual Supplements’

Thu, 30 Jul 2020

‘Our sufficiency is from God.’ 2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV

Christian counsellor Dr Ann Shorb writes, ‘Each morning I reach for an assortment of nutritional supplements. Each has something I need, but not one by itself is enough to provide everything.’ Here are the ‘spiritual supplements’ she says she takes:

(1) His death on the cross is sufficient for my salvation: ‘He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him… He… lives to make intercession for them.’ (Hebrews 7:25 NKJV)

(2) His strength is sufficient for my weakness: ‘He gives strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak.’ (Isaiah 40:29 NCV)

(3) His authority is sufficient for my struggles: Jesus said, ‘All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore.’ (Matthew 28:18–19 NKJV)

(4) His power is sufficient to restore me: ‘The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down.’ (Psalm 145:14 NKJV)

(5) His wisdom and knowledge are sufficient to direct me: ‘He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.’ (Job 23:10 NKJV)

(6) His grace is sufficient for all my needs: ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ (2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV)

Sometimes you’ll hear Psalm 51:12 quoted as ‘Restore unto me the joy of my salvation,’ instead of ‘Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.’ There’s a big difference! My salvation means me working to be saved and never knowing if I’ve done enough. Thy salvation depends totally on Christ’s finished work on Calvary. It acknowledges that while we’ll never be ‘sufficient of ourselves… our sufficiency is from God.’

RIP to the policemen. The driver is a hero.

Mummy please calm down ooo. "Ko nii se be mo oooo".

Seriously, our governments needs to calm down on the rate they are stealing the country's wealth.

Conditional Blessings

Wed, 29 Jul 2020

‘All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord.’ Deuteronomy 28:2 NKJV

Many of God’s blessings come with conditions: ‘If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord… all these blessings shall come upon you.’ (Deuteronomy 28:1–2 NKJV) When you put God’s Word into action, you obtain His blessing.

Blind Bartimaeus was begging when Jesus passed by. So he cried out, ‘Lord, that I might receive my sight.’ (Mark 10:51 KJV) He knew God’s blessing wasn’t automatic, but it was within his reach.

In a Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown is practising archery. In addition to a bow and arrow, he carries a paintbrush and a bucket of paint. He shoots the arrow towards the target, and wherever it lands he paints a bull’s-eye around it. When Lucy asks Charlie about this, he says, ‘This way I always hit my target!’ Vikki Burke writes: ‘This is the way some Christians live… wherever the arrows of life happen to land, they claim was their destination all along. How badly do you want the blessing of God? How committed are you? The desires God placed in your spirit and the goals He set in His Word won’t be fulfilled automatically, but they’re attainable.’

She also says: First: you must build a strong foundation by becoming established in God’s Word. Second: expect to increase one step at a time. Paul says, ‘Walk in the steps of… faith.’ (Romans 4:12 NKJV) Results won’t appear overnight, but they will come and you’ll see the rewards of your diligence. Third: aim high, expect God’s best, and be willing to give Him your best. Peter says, ‘Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue… knowledge… self-control… perseverance… godliness… brotherly kindness… and… love.’ (2 Peter 1:5–7 NKJV)

A very cunning man and very means. Because of your fallout with Obaseki, you quickly turn to someone that you had in the past labelled a thief.
Does that make a sense?

‘Imputed’ righteousness

Tue, 28 Jul 2020

‘God will also count us as righteous if we believe in Him.’ Romans 4:24 NLT

The New King James Version says righteousness will be imputed to us. To understand ‘imputed’, picture funds being transferred from one account to another. Banks do it every day. Imagine yourself totally destitute and unable to pay your debts.

Then in an astounding act of grace someone pays off all your debts, transferring so much to your account that you never have to work again. That’s an analogy of what happened at the cross when God ‘imputed’ all your sins to Christ’s account, and ‘imputed’ all His righteousness to your account. Mind-blowing, isn’t it?

Would you say, ‘I can’t allow you to pay all these debts alone, so I’ll work to prove myself worthy of your grace’? We do that when we ‘add’ our good works to Christ’s finished work.

Paul writes, ‘For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.’ (2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV) In the same sense God ‘made’ Jesus who never sinned, to ‘be’ sin, He ‘made’ you who could never be righteous enough, to ‘become’ righteous in His eyes.

You say, ‘But I feel such guilt when I sin.’ You’re supposed to! But when Christ took away all your sin, He took away all your guilt. So what are you feeling? Inner conflict! Your regenerated spirit is telling you that you can’t indulge in sin; it’s not who you are anymore! Why did God do it this way? Because any righteousness we could achieve falls far short of what He requires. Rejoice—today God sees you clothed in the righteousness of Christ, therefore you’re always loved and accepted by Him.

Live A Life Of Integrity

Mon, 27 Jul 2020

‘The integrity of the upright will guide them.’ Proverbs 11:3 NKJV

After leading the tribes of Israel for several decades, the prophet Samuel didn’t get a retirement party and a gold watch. He got something much better! It was this commendation: ‘You have not cheated or oppressed us.’ (1 Samuel 12:4 NIV) He led the people, instructed them, and blessed them, but not one time did he take advantage of them.

How refreshing! How remarkable—particularly in today’s world of business and politics. CS Lewis said, ‘Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make a man a more clever devil.’ So before you set your goals, determine your values. Values are like guard rails on the motorway; they keep you from veering off the road and over the edge. They determine how far you’ll go on questionable issues. Knowing what matters and what you truly value is the key to living a life of meaning and purpose. For most of us the problem isn’t having values, the problem is living them out.

We all value honesty, integrity, and forgiveness, but when we’re pressed, do we really live them out—especially when it costs us? Pursuing a life of values comes with a price. But what we get in exchange is the ability to hold our head high during the day and sleep well at night. And perhaps just as important—it allows us to relax and be ourselves. The mental toll of cheating, lying, and stealing is draining. Trying to remember the lie you told someone last week, so that today’s lie will match up, can literally wear you out. When you live a life of integrity, you don’t have to worry about such things!

Since Akpabio has been the most
mentioned name in Nigeria this past month, I think Oxford Dictionary should consider creating a space for him in the dictionary.

For example:
Akpabio: /ˈAkpæ-bi-o/
adjective: confusing, troublesome, tricky ,an uncommon defector but very humble & Generous.

Verb: Akpabio
The act of defecting uncommonly, cause confusion in such a way that even your enemies will be confused

Past Tense: Akpabioed
Present Continuous: Akpabioing
Present Perfect: Akpabiose
E.g:
Some girls always like to Akpabiose things.
The test was Akpabiostic.
I had a very Akpabian week.
Akpabio : To confuse, make things magical, detrimental.
E.g:
Please don't come and Akpabioficate issues here .
The only way to reduce applicants is to Akpabiofy the processes
How was your exams? It was Akpabioful....

Adverb; Akpabiolly
Eg : Sandra was caught akpabiolly .
The thieves absconded akpabiollifully

Kriss216:
The weather is moody, means, rain go soon fall. They need umbrella, it's rainy season.

God bless Edo State
God bless Obaseki

Trust God He Knows What He’s Doing

Sun, 26 Jul 2020

‘Be still, and know that I am God.’ Psalm 46:10 KJV

Let’s take a look at this Scripture.

(1) ‘Be still’. Activity born out of anxiety actually prevents God from showing Himself strong on your behalf. That doesn’t mean you can be passive or lazy; it means doing what God leads you to do without running ahead of Him. It means submitting to Him by slowing down and waiting. Why? To make sure you have a sense of peace to go along with the ideas you believe He’s giving you (see Colossians 3:15). Ask Him to reveal His will; then ‘be still’, acknowledge that He’s in charge and He knows what He’s doing.

(2) ‘Know that I am God’. This means acknowledging that you are not God! When you don’t obey God, consult Him, or recognise His timing, you remove Him from the throne of your life and end up trying to take His place. And you know how well that works, right? We hear a lot about goal-setting and vision. And it’s a Scriptural principle, for ‘where there is no vision, the people perish.’ (Proverbs 29:18 KJV)

But the Bible also says, ‘The vision is yet for an appointed time… Though it tarries, wait for it.’ (Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV) You’ll never fulfil your vision without the help of the One who gave it to you. Nineteenth-century American clergyman Henry Ward Beecher said, ‘The strength of a man consists in finding out the way God is going, and going that way.’ Remember, there’s no time lost in waiting if you’re waiting on the Lord. So don’t let a ‘how to’ seminar or a ‘type A personality’ stampede you into getting ahead of God, or attempting to forge ahead under your own steam.

Who cares, if he like let him spend the N30m winning money in advance for his ticket. Naa him problem be that.

Overcoming Temptation

Sat, 25 Jul 2020

‘Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.’ Matthew 26:41 NKJV

Why did Jesus tell His disciples, ‘Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak’? Because He knows that without the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, we’re not equal to the temptations that come our way.

Jesus didn’t doubt the disciples’ love for Him or their willingness to serve Him, but He knew they couldn’t do it in their own strength. And you can’t either. When you fight the flesh in the power of the flesh, you end up fighting yourself—and you lose every time.

Note the words ‘lest you enter into temptation.’ You’ll never be exempt from temptation, but you don’t have to ‘enter into’ it. Indeed, your regenerated spirit can’t ‘enter into’ it because sin has no appeal to it. But your unregenerated ‘flesh’ will always be attracted to sin.

And becoming a Christian increases the frequency, variety, and intensity of the temptations you face. Why? Because Satan, ‘the tempter’, doesn’t give up control easily. He will fight you constantly, and on different fronts. The Bible speaks of ‘manifold temptations.’ (1 Peter 1:6 KJV) The word ‘manifold’ means there are ‘many kinds’ of temptation.

What’s the answer? ‘Manifold grace’! (1 Peter 4:10 KJV) The moment temptation rears its head, and before you have time to ‘enter into’ it, draw on God’s grace. How do you do that? Jesus said, ‘Watch and pray.’ The Living Bible says, ‘Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you.’

Sheep don’t have the strength or skill to overcome the wolf. But they have the strategy! They just draw close to the Shepherd and He deals with the wolf.

At Your Breaking Point—Turn To God

Fri, 24 Jul 2020

‘Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.’ Psalm 27:14 NKJV

David had reached his breaking point. ‘I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.’ (Psalm 27:13 NKJV) Can you identify?

Have you reached your breaking point? If so, you have two options: break down or break through. It all depends on what you do. There’s an old saying, ‘The same sunshine that melts the butter hardens the clay.’ When trouble comes, you can either turn against God because you served Him and don’t understand why He’s allowing it, or turn to Him for strength and understanding. That’s why what David says next is so important: ‘Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.’

Sometimes God changes our circumstances; other times He uses them to strengthen us. Try to understand this. It’s not just about you, but those God wants to reach through you. ‘He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.’ (2 Corinthians 1:4 NLT)

Nothing catches God off guard, and nothing’s too hard for Him to handle. The situation you’re in right now can become a platform for Him to demonstrate His love and care for you. ‘The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore I will hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who depend on Him.’ (Lamentations 3:22–25 NLT)
