Saturday June 4 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.” Ro 15:13 NIV Trusting God brings joy and peace Trusting God is so much simpler than not trusting Him. When you doubt God, His Word, and His promises, you’re left to your own devices and reasoning when it comes to working things out. And as a result you get stressed out. Take a moment and read the following three verses, then think carefully about what they mean: “But the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest” (Heb 4:2-3 NIV). “He who has once entered [God’s] rest…has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors” (Heb 4:10 AMP). “Come to Me, all you who labor and are…overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]” (Mt 11:28 AMP). How are you supposed to approach God? In faith! The Bible says: “Without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that… He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]” (Heb 11:6 AMP). That means when you come to God, you must do the believing. And when you do, you’ll receive His joy and peace. These two things are God’s will for you; they were bought and paid for at the cross. Christ’s work is already finished, and the only thing that remains to be accomplished is for you to believe. When you do that, God will respond and bless you every time! |
divinecode101:Amen oooo. The Nigeria that I dreamt for my children & grandchildren. |
Sometimes I wonder if this country will not naturally curse some people and their generation forever. |
Friday June 3 “Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.” Php 3:13 NLT Start looking forward There are things inside you that must be dealt with before you can move ahead. Every experience you’ve had from birth until the present moment has helped shape who you are. The things that happen to you, good and bad, are instrumental in determining how you’ll act and react for the rest of your life. Paul talks about “forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.” You ask, “What did Paul have to forget?” A lot! On Paul’s orders Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was stoned to death while he looked on. Before he met Christ on the Damascus Road, Paul routinely imprisoned and put Christians to death. The fact is, if he hadn’t overcome his past he would never have written half the New Testament and helped establish a church that would last two millenniums. Was Paul perfect? Not even close! That’s why he said: “I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be…I am still not all that I should be but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us” (vv. 12-14 TLB). The only place the past can live is in your memory; and the only power it has over you is the power you give it. So the word for you today is: Start looking forward. |

Thursday June 2 “Write the vision and make it plain…that he may run who reads it.” Hab 2:2 NKJV Has God given you a vision? When God gives you a vision for your life, write it down, keep it before you at all times, and run with it. You say, “But I see no way for it to come to pass.” The Bible says, “The vision is yet for an appointed time…wait for it; because it will surely come” (v. 3 NKJV). You may not know how to get from where you are right now to where the vision will ultimately take you—but God does. So ask Him to reveal the next step to you. Whether you’re in prison like Joseph, in a soup kitchen in the inner city, or at home taking care of small children, God will fulfill the vision He placed in your heart. The more you see yourself leading in the boardroom, launching your own business, serving in ministry, writing your first book, or helping others through your gifts, the sooner it will become a reality. Before a vision becomes clear, God gives us glimpses of it—like a picture developing from a soft hue into sharp resolution. So take your vision and run with it. Let it motivate you to perform to the best of your ability in your present position, while staying in communication with the One who knows and loves you best. Today pray: “Lord, I know that where I am right now, isn’t where You’re taking me. Give me glimpses of Your vision for my future, so that my understanding may grow in accordance with Your timing. Give me patience along the way, and faith to trust that You’re always working for my good. Amen.” |

ZuzuMan:nice picture messages. Hope they will learn from this sha. |
beautyann:.....and who's going to be managing your oil money for you? Your same leaders that they've be paying the 13% derivation, the same leaders that has been managing the NDDC, all the same governors that has been taking money that's supposed for development there and they are not doing anything? You still don't get it, do you? Money meant for the development of your area has been paid to your governors now and in the past. Imagine states like Ogun, Ekiti, Osun don't get upto half of what is been paid to Bayelsa state, but yet, go to those states capitals and see how the little they have has been managed. FG is not helping any state to build their cities. Their governors are doing that. That's why they were elected. But, to be honest wahala of militant is only common in Bayelsa and Delta state, and truly it's because their leaders are crooks. |
Mztarstrechy:A bi? I just wonder too ooo. |
FYB:as if money has not been given to them too through their governors & NDDC too. Have you thought of why Akwa-ibom and Cross-River state has not be complaining? Yes! It's because they are managing their funds very well nii. So, stop insinuating wrong information. |
High level of irresponsibility to both force. They've shamed themselves. Silly men in uniform. |
iamfroshsylver:happy birthday great mother. The Lord will bless your new age in Jesus mighty name. Do enjoy your day maa. |
Wednesday June 1 “Live generously and graciously toward others.” Mt 5:48 TM Always do more than what’s expected Jesus said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over” (Lk 6:38). Notice, He didn’t say, “Only give to those who can give back to you.” John Bunyan, the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, said, “You haven’t lived today successfully, unless you’ve done something for someone who can never repay you.” In the days of Jesus, a Roman soldier could legally force a Jewish civilian to carry his heavy backpack for up to a mile. That was his right, and you refused to do so at your peril. So to walk the first mile was to do only what was required. Then Jesus came along and said, “If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two” (Mt 5:41 NIV). Why? Because “extra-mile service” gives you an opportunity to impact the lives of others. A person with an extra-mile attitude is someone who cares more than others think is wise, risks more than others think is safe, dreams more than others think is practical, believes more than others think is possible, and gives more than others think is necessary. Here’s how Jesus bottom-lines it: “If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that. In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects…live like it. Live out your God-created identity…generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you” (vv. 46-48 TM). So always do more than is expected. |

orisa37:I really understand you bros. But the thing is, if you as an individual is not at peace with God, you can never be at peace with yourself, then talkless of having peace with your neighbours. Peace is something spiritual. Once one started getting disturbed about something, then the personal or inner peace of that person started to deteriorating. No matter the position or possession of the person, he or she will never be happy and he/she will started getting disturbed. Some can lead to depression, and you know what that means. Renowned singers in the world had passed on today and just because they were all depressed. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince and many more started been depressed because they've all lost the inner peace of mind. But people who are fortunate or privilege to have this God's given inner peace. You will see them been happy most of the time in respect of the difficult situations or challenges. My prayer is that the Lord should give us peace of mind in Jesus name. |
HungerBAD:nice? ![]() What is nice about this? Whatever has happen to health and safety in this country? ![]() For Lord sake, so many thing we're wrong with that man. The Okada is smoking. The man appear to me to be struggling to ride the bike. He's used a towel to wrap the poor baby, which could unwrapped easily. So, what was nice about him behaving absurd. |
Tuesday May 31 “Great peace have they who love your [word], and nothing can make them stumble.” Ps 119:165 NIV The peace process One of the last things Jesus told His disciples before leaving this world was, “In this [life], you will have trouble!” (Jn 16:33 NIV). And He was right, wasn’t He? We all experience stress, occupational demands, deadlines, expectations, personal pressures ganging up on us and constantly trying to rob us of the peace we desperately desire. No one is immune to stress, frustration, and the feeling that we’re on the “autobahn of life.” What is all this but the absence of peace? And the answer can’t be found in a pill, a possession, or a pleasure. All those things wear off or wear out. The Bible talks about three different kinds of peace. Let’s look at them: (1) Peace with others. “As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Ro 12:18 NIV). This is external peace, and it’s necessary for human relationships to flourish. (2) Peace with yourself. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (Col 3:15 NIV). This is internal peace, a rest of mind and soul that escapes most of us. (3) Peace with God. “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ro 5:1 NIV). This is eternal peace, and it comes from knowing you’ve a right relationship with God. So here’s how it works: When you’re at peace with God you’ll be at peace with yourself, and when you’re at peace with yourself you’ll be at peace with others. That, in a nutshell, is the peace process! |
Monday May 30 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” Jas 1:19 NIV Dealing with difficult people The only way to avoid having to deal with difficult people—is to move to another planet. Human beings are a mixture of vices and virtues, and unless you understand that, you won’t be able to work or live with them successfully. The story’s told of a monk who joined a monastery and took a vow of silence. Once a year he was invited to appear before the abbot, and he was permitted to say one thing. After the first year when he was asked what he had to say, he replied, “The bed’s too hard!” At the end of the second year when he was asked, he responded, “The room’s too cold.” At the end of the third year he was asked the same question. He replied, “The food’s terrible. I quit.” At that point the abbot smiled with relief and said, “Thank goodness! Because you’ve done nothing but complain since you got here!” Think about it: Even if you joined a monastery you’d still have to deal with difficult people! So what can you do? Learn from the farmer. He plants, pulls weeds, and cultivates, knowing the harvest will eventually come if he patiently keeps doing these things. It’s one of the reasons James writes, “Dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life God desires” (vv. 19-20 NIV). There are no shortcuts. The only way to have a good relationship is to work at it and be patient. When you do, God will bless that relationship. |
Baboo13:Exactly my brother. The news wasn't properly investigated I think. |
