Experiencing God’s presence each day Sun, 2 Aug 2026 “My Presence will go with you.” Exodus 33:14 Nicholas Herman was a cook in a monastery. He worried about whether or not he was truly saved. One day while looking at a tree, he realized the truth of the Psalmist’s words—that it had to be rooted in something other and deeper than itself (see Psalm 1:1-3). That day, he decided to make his life an experiment in what he called a “habitual, silent, secret conversation of the soul with God.” He’s known today by the new name given to him by his friends: Brother Lawrence. He remained obscure throughout his life and spent the rest of his days in the monastery kitchen. But the people around him found that rivers of living water flowed out of him that made them want to know God the way he did. “The good brother found God everywhere,” one of them wrote, “as much while he was repairing shoes as while he was praying with the community.” After Brother Lawrence died, his friends put together a book of his letters and conversations. It is called The Practice of the Presence of God, and it is thought to be one of the most widely read books of the last four centuries. This short-order cook has outsold many popular contemporary novelists, and his book is still on best-seller lists. Brother Lawrence said: “The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with Him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.” |
.....and what Seyi is truly interested in is winning for his father and not the masses are going through. It is well. |
Following with interest. Farming is the way to go. I pray the Lord to help more with the cattle men/herdsmen. The fear of loosing one's farmland to their non-chalant attitude is my biggest fear to go into farming/agriculture business. We have massive farmland in Ijebu. But kidnapping of workers is affecting seriously. God help us. |
What happened to the northern pyramid of groundnuts then? 🤔 |

What, whose, why, when? Sat, 1 Aug 2026 “Be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.” James 5:7 When it comes to Christ’s return, five questions arise: (1) What is the Lord’s coming? It’s the fulfillment of His promise: “In My Father’s house are many mansions…I go to prepare a place for you. And…I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:2-3 NKJV). (2) Whose coming is it? Christ’s! When He ascended back to heaven, an angel announced: “This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11 NKJV). (3) Why is Jesus coming back? His first coming was as the suffering servant who died on the cross for our sins. His second coming is to usher in a time of peace on earth and an eternity in His presence. His first coming, He dwelt with us for a while. At His second coming, He will take us to dwell with Him forever. (4) Where is His coming? “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NKJV). (5) When is He coming? Jesus said, “Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only” (Matthew 24:36 NKJV). If you’re wise, you’ll live each day as if Christ could return at any moment—because He could!

Confidence building Scriptures Fri, 31 Jul 2026 “You have been my hope…my confidence since my youth. From birth I have relied on you.” Psalm 71:5-6 Here are some confidence-building Scriptures you should read, memorise, pray, and stand on each day: (1) “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness” (2 Peter 1:3 NIV). (2) “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him” (1 John 5:14-15 NIV). (3) “The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV). (4) “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV). (5) “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16 NIV). (6) “We say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:6 NIV). (7) “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6 NIV). |

Act and react like a Christian Thu, 30 Jul 2026 “You have heard that it was said…But I say to you.” Matthew 5:21-22 Around the turn of the nineteenth century, a Russian physician named Ivan Pavlov won a Nobel Prize for his experiments with dogs. All of them had one thing in common—they salivated around food. But Pavlov wanted to find out if salivation could be caused by another stimulus, so he conditioned the dogs by ringing a bell before feeding them. Eventually the dinner bell caused salivation, even if the food wasn’t served. Pavlov referred to this learned relationship as a conditioned reflex. We have all been consciously or subconsciously conditioned our entire lives. Much of our behaviour was dictated by those conditioned reflexes. Some conditioned reflexes are as normal and natural as a blush. Others are as destructive as drinking to drown your sorrows. But conscious or subconscious, harmless or harmful, one thing is certain: we are far more conditioned than we realise. And one dimension of our spiritual growth is being reconditioned by the grace of God. Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said…But I say to you.” Jesus uses this couplet repeatedly. What was He doing? He was uninstalling Old Testament applications and reinstalling New Testament truths. It was no longer “An eye for an eye.” Jesus upgraded it to “Turn to them the other cheek,” which required reconditioned reflexes (See Matthew 5:38-39 NIV). Sometimes it’s much easier to act like a Christian than to react like one. How does this change in our reactions take place? By the Holy Spirit. “We are being changed to be like him [Jesus]. This change…comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18 NCV). |
Get well soon ma'am. Please let the donor help us 🙏 |
Imagine? When the only thing I took with me every time I go out is the name of JESUS. What a gift I have in that name. Thanks to our parents that put our foots in the direction of salvation years back. Psalms 34:10 Awọn ọmọ kiniun a ma ṣe alaini, ebi a si ma pa wọn: ṣugbọn awọn ti nwá Oluwa, kì yio ṣe alaini ohun ti o dara. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. |
Healing in the New Testament Wed, 29 Jul 2026 “Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.” Matthew 12:15 Do you find yourself wondering if Jesus is willing to heal you? Let’s look at the ministry of Jesus Christ, whom the Bible says is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NKJV). That means if He did it before, He will do it again. As you read about the many healings and miracles Jesus performed on a continual basis, it will cause your faith to grow and your expectation to rise. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17 KJV). Throughout the gospels, people with various sicknesses went to Jesus for healing. Some were near death, and some were actually dead. There were people with strong faith, and others who struggled to believe. All the people Jesus healed were unsaved, as Jesus had not yet purchased salvation on the cross. The keys to every one of these miracles are: (1) Those who were sick made sure they were in the presence of Jesus; (2) They willingly received His word and acted on it. Read about some of the miracles Jesus performed: (1) Simon’s mother-in-law healed of a fever (see Matthew 8:14-15); (2) The resurrection of Jairus’s daughter (see Mark 5:21-24, 35-43); (3) Healing of the woman with the issue of blood (see Mark 5:25-34); (4) A deaf man healed (see Mark 7:32-37); (5) A severed ear restored (see Luke 22:47-51); (6) A blind man healed (see John 9:1-41). Jesus never said no to a cry for help and healing: “Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all." And what He did for them, He can do for you if you pray and believe His Word. |

You must know who you are Tue, 28 Jul 2026 “He has created us anew in Christ Jesus…[to] do the good things he planned for us.” Ephesians 2:10 A farmer once caught a young eagle in the forest, brought it home, and raised it among his chickens and turkeys. Five years later, a naturalist came to visit him and saw the bird. “That’s an eagle, not a chicken!” he said. “Yes,” said the farmer, “but I’ve raised it to be a chicken.” The naturalist said, “It has a wingspan of fifteen feet. It’s an eagle!” The farmer said, “But it will never fly.” The naturalist disagreed, and they decided to put their argument to the test. First, the naturalist picked up the eagle and said, “Thou art an eagle; thou dost belong in the sky and not to this earth; stretch forth thy wings and fly.” The eagle saw the chickens and jumped down. The next day, the naturalist took the eagle to the top of the house, said the same thing, and let the eagle go. Again, it spotted the chickens below and fluttered down to join them in feeding. “One more try,” said the naturalist. He took the eagle up a mountain. The trembling bird looked around, and then the naturalist made it look into the sun. As he spoke its true identity once more, suddenly the eagle stretched out its wings, gave a mighty screech, and flew away, never to return. You must know who God created and called you to be. And that takes place in the right environment, the right company, and with the right input—God’s input! “He has created us anew in Christ Jesus…[to] do the good things He planned for us.” |
Congratulations. If you are traveling on a tourist visa with what you filled on your application that you are staying in the hotel. Never make a mistake of telling the immigration at the port of entry that a friend is hosting you. They can turn it to something else for you. Get into the UK either through Heathrow or Gatwick Airport. Then, you will need to connect to Greater London to get to Euston, Kings Cross or Paddington Station to get a direct train to Liverpool City. Good luck on your first trip to UK. Have a nice stay. |
Be an “I can” person Mon, 27 Jul 2026 “I can do all things through Christ.” Philippians 4:13 Consider these examples of resistance to inventions that we now consider commonplace and enjoy every day: In Germany, “experts” said that if trains went as fast as fifteen to twenty miles an hour—considered a frightful speed—blood would spurt from the travellers’ noses and passengers would suffocate when going through tunnels. In America, experts said the introduction of the railroad would require the building of many insane asylums, since people would be driven mad with terror at the sight of the locomotives. When the idea of iron ships was first proposed, experts insisted that they would not float, it would be difficult to preserve the iron bottom from rust, and that iron would play havoc with compass readings. In 1797, when the first cast-iron plow was invented, farmers in New Jersey rejected it, saying the cast iron would poison the ground and stimulate the growth of weeds. When the YMCA in New York welcomed the invention of the typewriter and announced typing lessons for women, protests erupted on the grounds that the female constitution would break down under the strain. Now consider these statements, each of which is a product of a negative mindset: (1) “Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible” (Lord Kelvin, President, Royal Society, 1895). (2) “Man will never tap the power of the atom” (Robert Millikan, Nobel Prize winner in physics, 1923). (3) “Everything that can be invented has been invented” (Charles H. Duell, U.S. Patent Office Director, 1899). If you want to accomplish great things and be used by God, become an “I can” person. |
Born again Christian main purpose is to preach the gospel all around the world and bring the sinners to the Lord for repentance. God bless those early missionaries that brought the good news and Christianity to us in Africa. Forever I will be grateful that I came to know Christ as the Lord and the saviour of the world. Thank you Lord Jesus for coming to save me on the cross and redeemed me too. Hallelujah 🙌 |
God has different ways to get you there Sun, 26 Jul 2026 “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” Proverbs 20:24 Marian wanted to become a concert singer, a challenge that was doubly difficult because of the colour of her skin. Her mother, however, had a patient trust in God. Marian later said, “Mother’s religion made her believe she could receive what was right for her if she was conscientious in her faith. If it did not come, it was because God had not considered it right for her. We grew up in this atmosphere of faith that she created…We believed as she did, because we wanted the same kind of haven in the time of storm.” When Marian was denied admission to a famous music conservatory on account of her race, her mother said, “Someone would be raised up” to help her accomplish what she hoped to do at the conservatory. That someone arrived a few weeks later. One of Philadelphia’s outstanding voice teachers, Giuseppe Boghetti, made room for her to become one of his students. And Marian Anderson was on her way to becoming one of the most popular singers of the twentieth century. On Easter Sunday in 1939, she sang to seventy-five thousand people at the Lincoln Memorial and gave a performance never to be forgotten by those present. Solomon said these two things about God’s guiding hand in our lives: (1) “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” (2) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT). |

I will give a re-think to Atiku if only he can give me an explanation to how he & Obasanjo spend the $16b for the electricity during their tenure. Just 50% explanations will make me to re-consider. With proof though. 🥱 |
You need more of the Holy Spirit (2) Sat, 25 Jul 2026 “We will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 The Holy Spirit gives us wisdom beyond our knowledge, power beyond our strength, and gifting beyond our ability. With His help, we become better than our best effort and better than our best thought. We become the best version of ourselves possible. Of course, this takes a lifetime. Hence, Paul wrote: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” It’s hard to imagine a farmer planting a crop of beans and then being surprised that it didn’t produce corn. Why? Because you reap what you sow. Yet some of us seem shocked when the seeds of sin yield their crop. So, what are you planting? Love or hate? Joy or ingratitude? Patience or impatience? Self-control or self-indulgence? You cannot break the law of sowing and reaping, but it can break you or make you—if you keep sowing the right seeds. Want a bumper crop? Then you need more of the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit can’t fill you if you’re full of yourself. So, a prerequisite to having more of the Holy Spirit is being honest, being humble, and being hungry. Galatians 5:22-23 lists the nine fruits the Holy Spirit produces in our lives. So, if you want more of the Holy Spirit, it means you literally want more love, more joy, more peace, more patience, more kindness, more goodness, more faithfulness, more gentleness, and more self-control (see Galatians 5:22-23 NLT). The good news is, you can have as much of the Holy Spirit as you want. |
