Tuesday January 26 “The power of the Lord was present to heal them.” Lk 5:17 NKJV Bringing people to Jesus (1) One day when Jesus was preaching in a certain house, four men brought their paralyzed friend so He could heal him. When they couldn’t get through the crowd they climbed up onto the roof, created an opening, lowered the man down to Jesus, and He healed him. The Bible says, “The power of the Lord was present to heal them.” The Pharisees were sitting nearby, and the power of God was present to heal them too, yet they received nothing. It’s amazing, but true; you can be in the presence of Jesus and leave unchanged. Why? Because your attitude and approach determine your results! Pride and preconceived notions—thinking you have God all figured out—can stop you from receiving what you need. Paul says, “For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it” (Heb 4:2 NKJV). These religious leaders had no “faith.” They were interested in engaging Jesus in theological arguments, not in seeing the power of God demonstrated and this sick man healed. So you can have a head full of theology and a heart filled with doubt, and receive nothing from the Lord! Luke Chapter five records: “When [Jesus] saw their faith, He said to him…‘arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ Immediately he rose up…and departed to his own house, glorifying God. And they were all amazed, and they glorified God…saying, ‘We have seen strange things today!’” (vv. 20-26 NKJV). |

Monday January 25 “The Lord searches every heart and understands every motive.” 1Ch 28:9 NIV What are your real motives? When Ananias and Sapphira saw others selling their land and giving the proceeds to the church so the poor could be cared for, they thought it was a great idea—in theory. However, when they sold some land they withheld part of the money and then lied about it. They wanted increased visibility and spiritual status without paying retail for it. They wanted to “look the part” without having to pay the price. But Peter exposed their sin, saying, “You didn’t lie to [men]. You lied to God!” (Ac 5:4 CEV). Not only were their motives exposed, they both dropped dead. And as a result, “Great fear gripped the entire church and everyone else who heard what had happened” (v. 10 NLT). One pastor says: “Numerous Sundays I’ve preached a message that deeply moved the members of my congregation. But ironically I’d ‘prepared’ by arguing with my wife on the way to church, or making life miserable for my children. Years of practice came to my rescue and I easily morphed into ‘the pastor,’ becoming instantly compassionate, holy, and spiritual. I was faking…[because] feeling needed, respected, and wanted can become as great a motivation as love for Christ.” When it comes to examining your motives, here are two Scriptures you need to read and consider carefully and prayerfully: (1) “The Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you.” (2) “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve” (Jer 17:10 NIV). |
Listen, if he's not going to marry you don't bother. That child could only be your destiny child. God will sustain you and him/her in Jesus name. Think of when you will be 40 years........., your now unborn child will be 19 years. talking from experience though. Goodluck. |

Sunday January 24 “Say to her, ‘Is it well with you?’…And she answered, ‘It is well.’” 2Ki 4:26 NKJV Is it well with your soul? If you died today would you go to heaven? Before you answer, read this story. In 1871 fire ravaged the city of Chicago, leaving three hundred people dead and a hundred thousand homeless. Attorney Horatio Gates Spafford, a friend of D. L. Moody, helped its people get back on their feet. After two years of tireless effort, he and his family decided to take a much-needed vacation. They planned to travel to England and join Moody in an evangelistic crusade, then go on to Europe. When Spafford got delayed he sent his family on ahead, planning to meet them on the other side of the Atlantic. But they never made it. Near Newfoundland their ship collided with an English sailing vessel and sank within twenty minutes. Spafford’s wife, Anna, survived by clinging to some floating wreckage, but all four of their daughters drowned. The next day Spafford received this terrible two-word telegram from his wife: “Saved alone!” He immediately went to be with her. Later, in the course of relating their story to D. L. Moody, Spafford said quietly, “It is well; the will of God be done.” It was those days of overwhelming grief that inspired him to write the beloved hymn that has comforted so many: “When peace like a river attendeth my way; when sorrows like sea-billows roll. Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say: It is well, it is well with my soul.” Can you sing those words? You can when you accept Jesus as your personal Savior. Why don’t you do it today? Who knows what tomorrow will bring? It is well with you this morning in Jesus name. Good morning & happy Sunday. |

Saturday January 23 “To slander is to be a fool.” Pr 10:18 TLB Never engage in slander It’s rare to find a political candidate these days who runs a totally clean campaign. But slandering isn’t limited to politicians. Given the right set of circumstances, each one of us can be tempted to denigrate the other. Before you do, however, read these words carefully: “Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He…who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman” (Ps 15:1-3 NIV). Can you recall the last time you spoke words that tore someone down? What was your motive? Why did you feel a need to diminish them in the eyes of other people? Were you speaking out of the pain of having been hurt by them? Did you envy their accomplishments? If so, have you not learned to let envy motivate you to achieve your own goals instead of making you defame another? Is it possible you grudgingly admire and desire something the other person has? The Bible says, “Promotion…[comes] from…[the Lord]” (Ps 75:6-7 TLB). This Scripture should cause you to become a team player, not a competitor. There’s no reason to snuff somebody else’s light out so that yours can shine. God has already declared that no one can thwart His purpose for your life: “The Lord [Almighty] has spoken—who can change his plans? When his hand moves, who can stop him?” (Isa 14:27 TLB). And since God has already secured your destiny and promised to avenge all wrongs perpetrated against you, you never need to engage in slander. |
TippyTop:Eeyah! The news and support for Buhari from foreign land pain you. Sorry ooooo. |

That was Richard Quest opinion, in my own opinion, she was the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Quote me wrong and get lassa fever. ![]() I've always thought Richard and others at CNN are credible journalists, but since they've start displaying their folly, I now wonder why most people are ditching CNN for Aljazeera, because it's one thing to face the reality and it's another thing to be sentimental. |

Friday January 22 “We finally gave up all hope.” Ac 27:20 NIV What to do in a crisis (3) Don’t despair. “When…the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope.” The last thing we throw overboard when we face a crisis is—hope. And when we throw that away, we’ve pretty much “had it.” Are you wrestling with an issue that’s been battering you back and forth? Have you come to the point where you’ve thrown things out, and now you’re at the point of despair? Remember, the sailors on Paul’s ship “finally gave up all hope” because they forgot that God was in control. They forgot He had a plan. And they forgot that He can inject hope into an absolutely hopeless situation. When the Bible speaks of “hope” it’s not talking about luck, or chance, or accident. No, it’s talking about focused faith! “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord” (Ps 31:24 NIV). “The eyes of the Lord are on those…whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name” (Ps 33:18-21 NIV). “Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God” (Ps 42:11 NIV). “Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Ro 15:4 NIV). So the word for you today is: Don’t despair, but “Put your hope in God.” |
I had a terrible experience with one today @ Mile 12 area of Lagos state. He was so aggressive that I had to start persuading him again. Eventually, have to parted with some cash too.......lol. |
Eghosakelly:Thank you for taking your time to read it too sir. It was freely shared with me, and I thought it's worth sharing them freely with others too. God bless you. |
Thursday January 21 “They threw the ship’s tackle overboard.” Ac 27:19 NIV What to do in a crisis (2) Don’t discard what’s important. Things didn’t get any better on the apostle Paul’s voyage to Rome. “We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard. On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard” (vv. 18-19 NIV). Note the things they discarded: (a) Their cargo—that which is precious and valuable. (b) The ship’s tackle—the very thing that could have stabilized them. (c) Their food—that which they needed to sustain them. (d) Themselves—they all jumped overboard and started swimming to shore. When we find ourselves in a crisis, we’re tempted to ditch the very things we need most—things that are important to us; values we’ve hung on to in better times. Under pressure we want to get rid of it all. We become compulsive. We give up on our dreams. We run out on our relationships. We throw away the important principles we learned as children. Joshua told the children of Israel, “But you are to hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have until now” (Jos 23:8 NIV). Instead of doubting God’s promise to you, stand even more firmly on it. Instead of abandoning His plan and purpose for your life, tighten your grip on it. “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1Co 15:58 NIV). “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ” (Php 1:27 NIV). That’s how you survive—and thrive in a crisis. |
