Monday June 20 “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Ro 12:2 NKJV Renew your mind with God’s Word The most important thing you can do every day—is renew your mind with God’s Word. When you get that right, everything else will begin to fall into place. You’ll think and act differently, so you’ll get different results. Do you remember the old TV series The Beverly Hillbillies? What made the show so interesting is that Jed and his family had been set free from their past—a life of poverty back in the Ozarks. But even after they moved to California’s Beverly Hills, they continued in their “hillbilly” ways. Their location had changed, but their mindset hadn’t. The same was true of the Israelites. They had a slave mentality. Even though they were free and God was providing their every need, the minute a problem came up they wanted to go back to Egypt. They couldn’t enter tomorrow because they were still carrying the baggage of yesterday! Read these words carefully: “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it” (Heb 4:1 NKJV). You ask, “But aren’t God’s promises guaranteed?” Yes, if you do what He says! God promised to bless you financially—if you tithe and sow generously. He promised to direct your paths—if you acknowledge Him in all your ways. He promised to forgive you—if you forgive others. You only “prove what is that good…acceptable…perfect will of God” by continually renewing your mind! So the word for you today is: Renew your mind with God’s Word. |

Father’s Day – Sunday June 19 “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mk 2:5 NKJV Dad, bless your children! Old Testament fathers placed their hands on their children’s heads and spoke certain promises over them, believing the blessing of God can be passed from one generation to another. It’s why “Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him” (Ge 28:1). It’s why Jacob refused to die before blessing his grandchildren (See Ge 48:14). Children without caring, involved fathers often spend their whole lives searching for a sense of identity and self-worth. Increasingly they’re finding them in the company of rebellious peer groups, street gangs, drug dealers, and on social media and the Internet. And we see the results of it all around us. Instead of fulfilling their God-given destiny, these kids become defined and labelled by a lifestyle such as “runaway,” “convict,” “troublemaker,” “addict.” Before Tupac Shakur, the rap artist known for his violent song lyrics, was gunned down in 1996, he said, “I never knew my real father. I know for a fact that if I’d had a father, I’d have some discipline [and] more confidence. Your mother can calm you down, reassure you…But you need a man to teach you how to be a man.” When a man was brought to Jesus for healing, before He forgave and healed him, He called him “son.” He didn’t say, “You’ve got to clean up your act,” or “You must do things My way.” No, He established a relationship with the man by showing him love and acceptance. And as a father you need to do the same. Loving and accepting your kids as they are, without conditions and condemnation, is the greatest gift you can give them. |

To do this and many more here in Nigeria, so that you can create jobs, and be able to export it to other countries for Forex. NAFDAC and NEPA will not make you achieve it. God help my country to see beyond this level we are. Thank you madam for making us proud there. |
Saturday June 18 “Why are you so fearful?” Mk 4:40 NKJV Don’t be afraid (3) Following Jesus invariably means going through storms. When you’re in over your head and sinking fast, you learn things about the Lord you’d never know otherwise. At first you wonder, “How did I get into this mess?” Then you start to see His hand at work and end up saying, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” (v. 41 NKJV). The disciples finally reached a place where they were willing to follow Jesus—without question. And that’s God’s plan for you. “Don’t be afraid” isn’t a call to naïvety or ignorance. God doesn’t expect us to be oblivious to the challenges life brings. But as long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus the waves couldn’t take him under. So look to God, stand on His Word, and recall His goodness. The Bible says, “We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it” (Heb 2:1 NAS). Do whatever it takes to keep your eyes on the Lord. C. S. Lewis wrote: “Moods will change, whatever view your reason takes. I know that by experience. Now that I’m a Christian I do have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable; but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable…that’s why faith is such a necessary virtue: Unless you teach your moods ‘where to get off,’ you can never be either a sound Christian or a sound atheist, but just a creature dithering to and fro with his beliefs really dependent on the weather and the state of his digestion. Consequently, one must train the habit of faith.” So the word for you today is: Don’t be afraid. |
GlorifiedTunde:god of soccer they para! God have mercy. |
....they are really in love afterall. could be what he cherished most in a relationship is what he is getting from her. Can't really blame the dude though. What matter in life is happiness. |
That's not a new thing. It has happened to me personally at a police station. - they needed to buy fuel when they are coming to see the house where we were robbed. - at the station, we needed to pay for the sheet of paper and a pen to write our statement. - and finally, the officer that interview us want something from us to speedy up the boys to come to our yard to the the investigation. We only managed to wrote the statement and left. Till now we are still expecting them to come for the investigation, not even when we've called the IPO in charge tired. .......and can you imagine, this happens 2010, and we are still waiting for them to come. Those Police @ Iyana-Obasanjo farm bus stop along Cannanland road are something else. |
Whao! That boy look extremely cute. God will look after them for her oooo, and He will help me look after my own too oooo IJN. |

Friday June 17 “Oh, that [we] would give thanks to the Lord for his goodness.” Ps 107:8 NKJV Don’t be afraid (2) When you’ve been through hard times, it can make you want to cut back on trusting God, and start playing it safe. When you’ve been through back-to-back storms, the security of the harbor starts looking good. Now it’s okay to rest and regroup, but don’t settle for safety and miss what God has planned for you. The Bible says: “Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters…see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro…stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness” (vv. 23-31 NKJV). Where do we see God’s wonders? In life’s storms! Jesus issued 125 recorded commandments. Twenty-one of them are “Don’t be afraid” or “Have courage.” The second most common commandment, to love God and your neighbor, appears on only eight occasions. That means the one statement Jesus made more than any other was “Don’t be afraid!” Why? Because He wants you to trust Him more! |

Thursday June 16 “Why are you so fearful?” Mk 4:40 NKJV Don’t be afraid (1) Notice how the disciples reacted to the storm on the Sea of Galilee, and see if you recognize any of the same traits in yourself: (1) Fear makes us doubt God’s care. The disciples asked Jesus, “Do You not care that we are perishing?” (v. 38 NKJV). They didn’t ask about His strength: “Can you still the storm?” Or His knowledge: “Are you aware of the storm?” Or His know-how: “Do you have any experience with storms?” Instead they voiced doubts about His character: “Do you not care?” If you let it, fear will erode your confidence in God’s love and make you forget His faithfulness. (2) Fear makes us reach for control. Jesus was asleep, so the disciples woke Him and said, “Do something, quick!” Fear comes from a perceived loss of control. When we’re afraid, we grab for a component of life that we can manage—like our diet, or our job, or the neatness of our house, or in many cases—people. The more insecure we feel, the more controlling we tend to become. (3) Fear makes us forgetful. The Bible says, “He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick” (Mt 8:16 NKJV). What a résumé! But fear gives us spiritual amnesia; it makes us forget what Jesus has already done and how good He has been to us. And what was Jesus’ response? “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” Faith doesn’t eliminate fear; it silences it, robs it of its power, and draws us closer to God. And when that happens things begin to change for the better. |
“Mr Luis, we are sending home your children from school, they haven’t paid their school fees and we will not allow them to take the exams” Luiis began to plead but the principal wouldn’t budge. Just as he dropped the phone another call entered. It was from his landlord, he had been given an ultimatum of one week to pay the house rent or he would be forced out of the apartment. The moment he dropped the phone a text message entered, a business partner he was owing money was on his way to arrest him. Luis began to cry “Jesus I am in trouble, I need you to show up for me. The world is caving in on me. I need Your help”. Just then he heard a voice so clear as though the person was standing next to him and the voice said “dance”. It sounded crazy but Luis was desperate. He would do anything at that moment. Luis put in a Frank Edwards CD and he began to dance. So much joy and peace filled his heart, he forgot about all his troubles and just danced before God. Suddenly, he got a text message, it was a bank alert for ten million Naira. Luis could not believe it, he put on his clothes and rushed to his bank to check that he wasn’t dreaming, it was real. Luis immediately removed his tithe and made three transfers; one to the school, one to the landlord and the last to his business partner. Luis began to scream “Thank You Jesus” in the bank. They all thought he was crazy but he just couldn’t control himself. Jesus had saved him from shame. Ladies and gentlemen, If you forget anything about God, don’t ever forget that the MIRACULOUS is linked to the RIDICULOUS! God wanted to part the red sea. He asked Moses to stretch out his rod and his hand. God wanted to bring down the walls of Jericho which were so thick that there were roads in the walls. God asked the children of Israel to shout! Jesus wanted to heal a man with no hands. He asked the man to stretch out his hand. Jesus wanted to turn water to wine. He asked the servants at the marriage feast to fill a bowl with water and serve it! Beloved the sea doesn’t part because a man stretched out a rod (try it at bar beach or Jabi lake). Walls don’t crumble because a group of people shouted. Hands don’t just pop out from a man with no hands. Water doesn’t turn to wine because you filled a bowl and served it! These miracles happened because of INSTRUCTIONS! What instruction has God given you recently that you have not obeyed? It may sound simple but your next level is tied to that instruction. Obey instantly! He may tell you to sow a seed, forgive someone, spend time reading your Bible. Whatever it is, do it promptly! Some may ask “how do I hear instructions from God?”. Don’t be eager to rush out after prayer. Start prayer by praising God and end with praising God. Then wait for the Holy Spirit to talk to you. Prayer is a dialogue not a monologue. You have said things to God. Wait quietly for him to talk back to you. Your life will not remain the same. My 20 year dream is to see the Gospel preached to a billion people through the social media. You too can be a social media evangelist. kindly share and repost this Gospel of Jesus Christ so that others can be blessed just like you have been blessed. Thank you for reading. |

Women and their mouth especially when they are upset. My brother you better grow out of it and continue doing what the Lord has put in your mind to do for her. Even mothers too, when they are annoyed will say their greatest mistake is having you as s child. What else can hurt more than that. ---or mother telling her child that she regretted not to have abort him/her when she was pregnant. That's women for you my dear. But in all honesty, they don't mean 1/4 of their words when they are angry. Most of them are just too temperament nii. And the same goes for some men too. That's why the bible says that we should be quicker to hear words, but be slower to answer. Words quickly says in anger or hasty are always creating trouble. |
Wednesday June 15 “When the Spirit has his way with us.” Gal 5:17 TLB Spirit-filled living Always remember that no matter how long you walk with God, your carnal nature never improves. It never becomes more like Jesus, even over time. That’s why we’re told to “crucify” it daily (See v. 24). Even the apostle Paul struggled with his lower nature: “We naturally love to do evil things…opposite from the things that the Holy Spirit tells us to do; and the good things we want to do when the Spirit has his way with us are just the opposite of our natural desires. These two forces within us are constantly fighting…to win control over us, and our wishes are never free from their pressures…But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (vv. 17, 22-23 TLB). You ask, “Is such a lifestyle even possible?” Yes, but you must do these four things: (1) Remember that Satan never takes a day off. You’re constantly in his crosshairs, so you must protect yourself with God’s Word and prayer. (2) Identify the sin you’re most prone to. The Bible says, “Lay aside…the sin which so easily ensnares” (Heb 12:1 NKJV). Why? Because the area of your greatest weakness is the one in which you’ll constantly be attacked. (3) Keep your spiritual tank full. “The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace” (Ro 8:6 NIV). (4) Walk in God’s strength, not your own. Does the fight ever end? No, but God’s power—plus your choice to obey and keep fighting—always leads to clear and lasting victory. |

Tuesday June 14 “The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you.” Mk 4:24 AMP Bible study: Make it personal Martin Luther said studying the Bible was like picking apples. First you shake the trunk, then you shake the limb, then you shake the branch, then you shake the twig, then you look under every leaf. There’s no other book in the world like it. You can read the same Bible verse a dozen times and get a dozen different insights. That’s because it’s “God-breathed” (2Ti 3:16 NIV). Here’s what Jesus said about studying God’s Word: “[Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation.] For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything [temporarily] kept secret except in order that it may be made known” (Mk 4:22 AMP). Then He adds: “Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you—and more [besides] will be given to you who hear” (v. 24). Do you want to grow spiritually? Build better relationships? Succeed in your career? Conquer anxiety and find peace? Break a bad habit? Be healed from the emotional wounds of your past? Then meditate on, ponder, think about, practice mentally, and verbalize the Word of God. Instead of living off someone else’s spiritual insight, study God’s Word for yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to bless you with life-transforming insights. Jesus said, “The Spirit takes my message and tells it to you” (Jn 16:15 CEV). And you’ll experience the truth of those words when you personalize the Scripture you’re reading. |

Unbelievable! And what are they doing with all the "chinko" ATM machines that they have in all their banks? What are they doing concerning loading just one out of eight ATM machines at their banks? Banks are taking more peace out of their customers in this country and government seem not to be doing anything about it. |
