Check Your Attitude

Fri, 21 Jun 2019

‘You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.’ Philippians 2:5 NLT

A flying instructor will tell you that periodically your plane needs to be ‘trimmed’ or ‘balanced in flight’. After flying through storms, it gets knocked out of alignment and needs to be adjusted.

The same thing happens on your spiritual journey. The storms of life can ‘knock you out of alignment’. Unexpected ‘weather conditions’ like sickness, depression, unemployment, divorce, disappointment, and death can force you to change direction and strategy. That’s why your attitude needs to be regularly checked and adjusted. So what are you dealing with that calls for an attitude check? Paul writes, ‘You must have the same attitude Christ Jesus had.’ Is such a lifestyle possible? Yes, but you must make it a priority and pursue it each day.

Joshua wanted to turn an army of complainers into an army that could conquer the Promised Land. So God gave him this formula for success: ‘Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.’ (Joshua 1:8 NLT)

Try the ‘card technique’. Each week identify a Scripture that relates to an area in which you want to grow, write it down on an index card, and memorise it. In one year you’ll have fifty-two Scriptures you can recall and stand on. Think how that will impact your life! Not only will wrong attitudes become right attitudes, but your life will begin to move in the right direction.

I wish him well in his new position. Let his new role bring God tidings to us in Jesus name.

God will truly need help in Nigeria. This country is in a mess.

....did anyone has the evidence of the video before I pass my judgement?

How Satan Tempts Us

Thu, 20 Jun 2019

‘He will show you how to escape from your temptations.’ 1 Corinthians 10:13 CEV

Satan tried to get Jesus to succumb to three different kinds of temptation, and he’ll try the same with you:

(1) Satisfaction without God. Knowing Christ was hungry, Satan told Him to turn stones into bread. But Jesus said no because He knew God’s plan was to feed and strengthen Him supernaturally; He refused to settle for less—and you must too.

(2) Success without God. Satan then took Jesus to the top of the temple and told Him to jump off, saying God would send angels to protect Him. But God’s plan for Jesus was the cross, the resurrection, and the multitudes who would come to believe in Him. Satan tried to get Jesus to settle for less, and he’ll try the same with you. Don’t take the bait!

(3) Significance without God. Satan offered Jesus the kingdoms of this world if only He’d bow down and worship him. What an offer! Significance without God! But the fact is, the kingdoms of this world weren’t Satan’s to offer! So he lied to Jesus—and he will lie to you too. The way to lasting satisfaction is the way of the cross, which means sacrificing yourself. Jesus rebuked Satan with a reminder from Scripture that God alone is worthy to be glorified.

Understand this: Satan will take every legitimate desire you have and try to get you to fulfil it in an illegitimate way. But you can overcome him. How? By staying close to God and living in His Word, ‘He will show you how to escape from your temptations.’

just like thier father. I'm pretty sure they will go far in sports too.

Phone & Bible.....of-course food to keep me in the room.

Sir, I will not agree with you on this. Use all in your capacity to work more now on security within the nation.

More than 70% of the population are having a sleepless night over the security situation of this country now.

You and the Commander-In-Chief should do something now before both of you will have your names penciled down in history for been wanting in your responsibilities.

My 5 cent advice.

Learn To Be Content

Wed, 19 Jun 2019

‘Godliness with contentment is great gain.’ 1 Timothy 6:6 KJV

When you talk about contentment, some people think you’re against progress. No. Paul is saying contentment never comes from externals! Every twelve minutes, radio and television advertisers try to convince us that contentment isn’t possible without their particular brand of product. Don’t go for it!

The desire for more can be insatiable. As long as you believe more is better, you’ll never be satisfied. Why? Because you’ll never live long enough to have it all! Just think; when you get something or achieve something, do you even take the time to enjoy it, or do you gallop off to the next thing without stopping? To avoid getting old too soon and wise too late, read this Scripture:

(1) ‘We brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.’ (1 Timothy 6:7 NLT) When you die and people ask, ‘How much did they leave?’ the answer will be ‘everything’ (including a legacy of good or bad).

(2) ‘Some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith.’ (1 Timothy 6:10 NLT) If your pursuit of material things is leaving no time for God, re-examine your priorities and start changing them while you still can. Stop thinking, ‘If only I had a bigger house, a more understanding spouse, a particular job, a radical makeover, a higher IQ, or the acceptance of a particular person, I’d be happy.’ It doesn’t work that way. The Bible says, ‘This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.’ (Psalm 118:24 NKJV)

How Big Is Your God?

Tue, 18 Jun 2019

‘The battle is the Lord’s and He will give all of you into our hands.’ 1 Samuel 17:47 NIV

How you handle life depends on how big you believe God is. If He’s too small:

(1) You’ll live in constant anxiety thinking everything depends on you.

(2) Your outlook will be dictated by your surroundings—or worse, your critics.

(3) Without the acceptance of a loving God you’ll be a slave to people’s opinions.

(4) You’ll constantly crave recognition because you don’t understand that ‘your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.’ (Matthew 6:4 NASB)

John Ortberg says that when we make the mistake of shrinking God, we ‘offer prayer without faith, work without passion, service without joy, and suffering without hope—which results in fear, retreat, loss of vision, and failure to persevere.’

When Goliath threatened the Israelites, ‘they were dismayed and greatly afraid.’ (1 Samuel 17:11 NRS) They didn’t think God was big enough for the job. But not David! ‘Let no one’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine… The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, will save me.’ (1 Samuel 17:32, 37 NRS)

You can face anything when you know what David knew—‘the battle is the Lord’s.’ And He’s never lost one yet! So you don’t have to depend on your own resources. David may have felt small, but he knew God was big enough for the job. Do you know that?

Converted slave-trader John Newton said, ‘If the Lord be with us we have no cause for fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer, His grace sufficient, and His promises unchangeable.’ It all depends on how big your God is!

this one too dey yahoo?

Be An ‘Up’ Person

Mon, 17 Jun 2019

‘He raised us up with Christ and gave us a seat with Him in the heavens.’ Ephesians 2:6 NCV

In order to become an ‘up’ person, you must do these three things:

(1) Expand your concept of God. How? By reading His Word and getting to know Him better. Be like the little boy in Sunday school whose teacher asked what he was drawing. He replied, ‘God!’ The teacher said, ‘But nobody knows what God’s like.’ Confidently he replied, ‘They will when I’m finished!’

What is your God like? Loving or judgmental? Distant or available? Limited or powerful? Your concept of God will determine your confidence in Him, so spend time getting to know Him.

(2) Recognise Satan’s limitations. The devil is the world’s oldest loser, a former employee of Heaven who got fired because of arrogance and who is headed for destruction. And the only power he has over you is the power you give him by remaining ‘ignorant of his devices’. (2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV)

The Bible says, ‘Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’ (James 4:7 KJV) You have power over Satan—use it.

(3) See yourself as God sees you. He sees you not just as you are, but as you will be. If you’ve been conditioned by past experiences to see yourself as worthless, starting now you can change your self-image by believing what God says about you in His Word. When you have His opinion, what else matters? (Read Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 43:1–3; Ephesians 2:6). As you work on these three things each day, you’ll become an ‘up’ person in a ‘down’ world.

You Can’t Meet Everybody’s Expectations

Sun, 16 Jun 2019

‘We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.’ Romans 12:6 NIV

Different people expect different things from us. And when a lot of people are pulling on you, those expectations can build up like a mountain and bury you. Is that how you’re feeling today, buried under everybody’s expectations? If so, read this Scripture: ‘Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the [level of] faith God has given [you]. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body.’ (Romans 12:3-5 NLT)

We all want people to be pleased with us, but we must also realise that they frequently have unrealistic expectations and sometimes selfish ones. So why don’t we just say no?

(1) Fear of people. We want to be loved and we are afraid of being rejected.

(2) Pride. If God made you a one-talent person, He won’t give you a two-talent assignment. Don’t allow pride to make you take on more than you can handle in order to have people’s approval.

(3) Not knowing God’s will for you. Jesus said, ‘I carry out the will of the One who sent Me, not My own will.’ (John 5:30 NLT) You must know God’s will and be committed to it, or people will try to impose their will and agenda on you.

(4) Trying to be like someone else. ‘Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.’ (Romans 12:6 NKJV) Unless God has ‘graced’ you to do it, you’ll fail or collapse under the weight of it. Realise that you are not called to meet everybody’s expectations.

With Determination And God’s Help You’ll Win

Sat, 15 Jun 2019

‘It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.’ Psalm 18:32 NKJV

In her autobiography, singer Dolly Parton says: ‘My high school was small, so during graduation each of us got a chance to stand up and announce our plans for the future. “I’m going to junior college,” one boy would say. “I’m getting married and moving to Maryville,” a girl would follow. When my turn came I said, “I’m going to Nashville to become a star.” The entire place erupted in laughter. I was stunned. Somehow, though, that laughter instilled in me an even greater determination to realise my dream. I might have crumbled under the weight of the hardships that were to come, had it not been for the response of the crowd that day. Sometimes it’s funny the way we find inspiration.’

Every hero in Scripture, without exception, overcame obstacles and opposition. David writes: ‘They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me… For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him… It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places… For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.’ (Psalm 18:18–39 NKJV)

finally finally. We can rest now.

Baba OBJ, you see your life.... lol

True Humility

Fri, 14 Jun 2019

‘God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’ 1 Peter 5:5 NAS

There are two kinds of humility mentioned in Scripture:

(1) False humility. Paul writes, ‘Do not let anyone who delights in false humility… disqualify you.’ (Colossians 2:18 NIV) Whether it’s in your manner of dress, your speech, or your behaviour, anything that draws attention to you and away from Christ is displeasing to God.

(2) True humility. Truly humble people don’t take offence easily or fight back; they turn the other cheek. And yet their humility is not cowardice, for true humility requires courage. It makes you willing to take a lower place than you deserve, to keep quiet about your merits, and to bear slights, insults, and false accusations for the sake of a higher purpose. True humility doesn’t make you think less of yourself, it just makes you think of yourself less. Peter addresses the subject in these words: ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honour.’ (1 Peter 5:5–6 NLT)

The story’s told of a guy who entered a contest to see who was the most humble. When he won, he was given a badge of merit—but then he wore it and so was disqualified! Seriously, pride disqualifies you from enjoying the favour of God. That’s why you need to remind yourself regularly: ‘Everything I am, I owe to God; everything I have, came from God. To Him be all the glory.’

even if the Lord should forgive this people in future, how do you think they will escape the punishments they've brought on their heads and their generations to come?

Dear Lord Jesus, don't let me be punished for the sins and bad deeds of my fore-parents in Jesus name.

...and why the public announcement?

instead of you to cover your head and that of your boyfriend. Especially when you know the security breakdown of the country.

kontinue!

Have You Been Treated Badly?

Thu, 13 Jun 2019

‘That’s the way their ancestors treated the prophets.’ Luke 6:23 GWT

When you’ve been treated badly, always ask yourself, ‘What can I learn from this experience? How do I respond in a more Christ-like manner? Am I willing to acknowledge my mistakes? How can I grow wiser and handle similar experiences better in the future?’ When all is said and done, the answer to misunderstanding is forgiveness. Now, forgiveness doesn’t mean you necessarily agree with or want a close relationship with the person who mistreated you. But it does mean that when you bury the hatchet, you don’t leave the handle sticking up! In other words, don’t just forgive—choose to bless!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, ‘To be great is to be misunderstood.’ And here’s an even better statement: ‘To be greater is to forgive the one who has treated you badly.’ Paul refers to the Christian life as ‘the high calling of God.’ (Philippians 3:14 KJV) So take the high road! What does that road look like?

Jesus tells us: ‘How happy you are when men hate you and turn you out of their company; when they slander you and detest all that you stand for because you are loyal to the Son of Man. Be glad when that happens and jump for joy—your reward in Heaven is magnificent. For that is exactly how their fathers treated the prophets.’ (Luke 6:23 PHPS) By living this way, you also take back your power by refusing to let another person dictate your mood and your outlook, and you keep your joy.
