You Can Win In The Second Half Sat, 4 Jul 2020 ‘I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely.’ Hosea 14:4 NKJV Half-time in the game is for rest and assessment. It’s a time to regroup—to evaluate how things have been going and decide what adjustments need to be made for the rest of the game. Often a team may look like they’re losing at half-time, but by the time the game ends they’ve turned things around and won. Until the final whistle sounds, the game is still up for grabs. The same is true in life. If you’re still here, the game of life isn’t over for you. Your clock is still ticking. You have a life yet to live. Not only that, but the first half doesn’t have to determine the outcome of the game. Maybe you’ve made mistakes, experienced disappointments and failures. Maybe life has dealt you a harsh blow here or there. But you are still here—and as long as you are, the whistle hasn’t blown and it’s not too late for God to take you straight to the plan He has for you. You see, God looks at your future while the enemy tries to keep you focused on your past. God says, ‘You can, in spite of what’s been done!’ But the enemy says, ‘You can’t, because of what you’ve done.’ God will never define you by your past, whereas the enemy will try to control and confine you by using it against you. Whether the good, the bad, or the ugly dominated your first half, Satan’s goal is to keep you chained there. God, on the other hand, wants you to learn from your past—not live in it. |

Young Person, Aspire To Greatness! Fri, 3 Jul 2020 ‘Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all.’ 1 Timothy 4:12 NLT Timothy was probably the first person actually raised as a Christian. And at a very young age, he became an apostle. However it seems some people in the early church thought his promotion to leadership when he was so young wasn’t a good thing. But Paul did. He told Timothy: ‘Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity… focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them. Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received… Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress.’ (1 Timothy 4:11–15 NLT) Who says you’re too young to make an impact? Not God. And not history. Victor Hugo wrote his first tragedy, Irtamène, at age 14. Raphael painted his masterpieces before he died at age 37. Tennyson published his first volume of poetry, Poems by Two Brothers, at 18. Paschal wrote his great works between the ages of 16 and 37. Joan of Arc did all her work and was burned at the stake at 19. Romulus is said to have founded Rome at 20. Calvin joined the Reformation at age 21 and wrote his famous Institutes at age 27. Alexander the Great had conquered all the lands between Egypt and India by the time he was 30. Isaac Newton was reputedly 24 when he discovered the law of gravity. Believe in your calling, for God does. Develop your gifts, and ask God to bless them. Maximise every opportunity to the fullest, and you will make the world a better place. |

Stand By Your Convictions And God Will Honour You Thu, 2 Jul 2020 ‘A man who makes a vow to the Lord or makes a pledge under oath must never break it.’ Numbers 30:2 NLT For months Eric Liddell trained with his heart set on winning the 100-metre race in the 1924 Olympics. Most sportswriters predicted he would win. At the games, however, Liddell learned that the 100-metre race was scheduled to be run on a Sunday. This posed a major problem for him, because he didn’t believe he could honour God by running on the Lord’s Day. He bowed out of the race, and his fans were stunned. Some who had praised him in the past now called him a fool. He came under intense pressure to change his mind, but he stood firm. Then a runner dropped out of the 400-metre race, which was scheduled on a weekday, and Liddell was offered the opportunity to fill the slot. This was not really ‘his race’. The distance was four times as long as the one he’d diligently trained for. Even so, he crossed the finish line as victor and set a new record of 47.6 seconds in the process. He earned an Olympic gold medal and made an uncompromising stand for his faith, and his story was told in the Academy Award-winning movie Chariots of Fire. But Eric Liddell has an even greater claim to fame. He went on to become a missionary in China, where he died in a prisoner-of-war camp in 1945. He’s like the man of integrity who ‘makes a vow to the Lord or makes a pledge under oath [and] never breaks it.’ The lesson that comes through loud and clear from this man’s life is—stand by your convictions, and God will honour you. |
Give God All The Glory Wed, 1 Jul 2020 ‘That no flesh should glory in His presence.’ 1 Corinthians 1:29 KJV The story is told of a woodpecker who was pecking away at a pine tree when it was hit by lightning. It split from top to bottom. The woodpecker blinked, uncertain and hardly able to believe his eyes. He backed off, looked at the tree for a moment, then flew away. He came back later, leading nine other woodpeckers. With a great deal of swagger and pride, he pointed to the tree and said, ‘There it is, gentlemen, just like I told you!’ Now let’s get serious. As long as you remember to give God the credit for your success, He will keep using and blessing you. ‘Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.’ (James 1:17 NKJV) That means every good thing you enjoy today, and every good thing you’ll need tomorrow, is a ‘gift’ from God. Paul writes, ‘That no flesh should glory in His presence.’ There is no bragging in Heaven, just praise. Why? Because you can’t brag about how you got to Heaven; it is all by God’s grace. And you can’t brag about what you did for God before you got to Heaven, because it was all God’s calling. He says, ‘I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another.’ (Isaiah 42:8 NKJV) Again He says, ‘Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.’ (Isaiah 43:7 NKJV) The Lord’s Prayer ends with the words ‘Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory.’ (Matthew 6:13 KJV) For how long? ‘For ever and ever, Amen.’ |

Getting Out Of Your Boat Tue, 30 Jun 2020 ‘Peter got down out of the boat.’ Matthew 14:29 NIV Matthew records, ‘Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus.’ Today, ask yourself these three questions: (1) What’s my boat? It’s whatever gives you your greatest sense of security. It’s what you’re tempted to put your trust in when life gets stormy. To know what your boat is, ask yourself, ‘What is it that produces the most fear in me, especially when I think of leaving it behind and stepping out in faith?’ (2) What’s keeping me from getting out of my boat? Fear. Fear of people, fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of lack. In order to grow, you must go into new territory, and each time you do, you’ll experience fear. It never goes away. But each time you get out of your boat, you become a little more able to do it the next time, and you begin to realise that fear doesn’t have the power to destroy you. So when Jesus says to you, ‘Come,’ start walking, He won’t let you drown. (3) What will I forfeit by staying in my boat? Your destiny. To achieve what you have not yet achieved, you must attempt what you have not yet attempted. Will there be risks? Yes. Baseball’s greatest hitters fail two times out of every three. But they know that if they don’t step up to the plate, they’ll never experience the joy of hitting a home run. Understand this: if you stay in your boat, you’ll eventually die there, and end up wondering what your life might have been if only you’d been willing to get out of your boat. |
It’s Never Too Late For God Mon, 29 Jun 2020 ‘I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway!’ Isaiah 57:18 NLT Are you asking, ‘Is it too late for God to do something with me?’ It’s never too late for God! In Scripture we read about broken people God raised up in marvellous ways. He used Moses, a murderer, to deliver the Hebrew slaves. He used Jacob, a liar and a trickster, to fulfil His promise to Abraham. He even included Rahab, a prostitute, in the Messianic family line. And if God redeemed them, He can redeem you too. Brokenness should never keep you bound. Rather, it should release you into a life of freedom. A truly broken person understands the reality of Jesus’ words: ‘Apart from Me you can do nothing.’ (John 15:5 NLT) A broken person who has learned to depend on God is a force to be reckoned with. When you’re looking at a past strewn with failures, it’s difficult to see a bright future, just as it’s difficult to drive when you’re looking in the rear-view mirror. You need to glance in your rear-view mirror occasionally, but if you keep focusing on it you’ll end up hurting yourself and others. That’s why the windscreen is so much bigger than the rear-view mirror—it shows you where you’re heading instead of where you’ve been! When you turn to God He will forgive you, restore you, and use you for His purposes. He said, ‘I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them. I will comfort those who mourn, bringing words of praise to their lips.’ (Isaiah 57:18–19 NLT) The word for today is—it’s never too late for God! |

Farewell. God should console his family. They are brave though from the picture. |
I see hope for Nigeria. If we can truthfully without prejudice export our gas to the northern part of Africa. Then, we will make more money on gas then the oil. |

God Is Training You Sun, 28 Jun 2020 ‘If He doesn’t correct you, then you don’t really belong to Him.’ Hebrews 12:8 CEV One of the Hebrew words for test is ‘bachan’ and it is related to the word for watchtower. It is about keenly looking and scrutinising. Dismiss the notion that God does not see your struggle. On the contrary, He is fully engaged. He sees the needs of tomorrow and, accordingly, uses your circumstances to create the test of today. Does He not have the authority to do so? He is the Potter; we are the clay. He is the Shepherd; we are the sheep. He is the Gardener; we are the branches. He is the Teacher; we are the students. Trust His training. You’ll get through this. And remember, all tests are temporary. They are limited in duration. The Bible says, ‘In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.’ (1 Peter 1:6 NIV) And here’s something else to keep in mind: you can’t shorten your testing period, but you can definitely lengthen it by being proud and stubborn, resisting what God wants to teach you. God won’t deny you that choice, but neither will He protect you from the consequences of that choice. You wouldn’t be the first student who had to repeat a year in school, and you won’t be the last. You can go to church on Sunday and pay lip service to God’s Word; you can reject the principles of truth and seek the easy way out. But it doesn’t work. ‘Good understanding gains favour, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.’ (Proverbs 13:15 NKJV) Do it God’s way, for that’s the best way. Always! |

Alwaysachick:that's a very bad attitude. I think you better pray very well before starting the journey fully. The Lord will show you the best decision to take in Jesus name. |
Why study the Bible? (3) Sat, 27 Jun 2020 ‘That the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.’ 2 Timothy 3:17 NASB Daily Bible study equips you for your God-given assignment in life. Paul writes: ‘All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching… reproof… correction… for training in righteousness; so that the man [and woman] of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.’ (2 Timothy 3:16–17 NASB) According to Paul, all Scripture is profitable—but profitable for what? (1) For doctrine and teaching. It will structure your thinking, and that’s crucial, because if you’re not thinking correctly, you’re not living correctly. What you believe ultimately determines how you behave. (2) For reproof. It will tell you where you’re out of bounds. Like an umpire who cries, ‘Out!’ or ‘Safe!’ the Bible lets you know what’s sinful, and what God wants for your life. (3) For correction. Do you have a cupboard in the house where you store all the rubbish you can’t find room for anywhere else? You cram it all in, then one day you forget, open the door, and—whoosh!—it all comes out! You say, ‘Whoops! I’d better clean this thing up!’ The Bible is like that; it opens the cupboard doors in your life and provides a purifying dynamic. (4) For training in righteousness. Having corrected us on the negatives, Paul gives us positive guidelines to follow as we go through life. For what reason? ‘That the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.’ Have you ever wanted your life to be more effective for Jesus Christ? And if so, what have you done to prepare yourself? Bible study is a primary means of becoming an effective servant of Jesus Christ. Nothing can take its place! |
Misplaced priority. If he like, let him claimed that he spent N35 trillion, naa him cup of tea be that. I no send am at all. |
I hate to see criminals been celebrated in the society. While Lance Corporal Martins is rotten in the cell for speaking up the truth. God's judgment is fast approaching. |
