Centre verse (Psalm 93:5)" Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O LORD, for ever" TEXT: PSALM 93:1-5. When some group of people were changing the appearance of Eastern Europe in AD with their barbaric wars,they threatened to complicate the misery of Rome. The Bishop of the city,Leo,who only prepared with his Bible was informed to have met one of the people and warned him not to put in danger reprisal of heaven by pillaging the city. The second among the group withdrew his military forces after hearing to the few statements of earnest petition spoken by the Bishop. We have different biblical equally distances of carrying out little things and few words supported by God to achieve feats. In 1 Samuel 14:6 ,Jonathan says that: " There is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or few." Afterward, Jonathan only and his armourbearer moved on to conquer the enemy that was greater than them in number. Goliath was killed by David using small stone, the movement that finally offered victory to Israel over the Philistines. The Redeemer of mankind, Christ Jesus fed thousands with few loaves and fishes. In our text,the Holy Ghost shows the Almightiness and power of God in His spoken word. No matter the magnitude of His word of miracle either few or a long sermon. The passage we took our reference Psalm 93, has only few verses but reveals the Omnipotence of God who surveys the affairs of humanity. Philosophies, doctrines and kingdoms have changed God's Word and threatened the saints. Still we are very sure that ," The Most High God is mightier than the sound of many waters, yes than the mighty waves of the sea." At all times abide and lay your trust in God and you will observe that you are protected. He is on top of every circumstance and situation in your life and family. He has the authority to change the apparent negative around for your good and His glory. REMEMBER THIS: Have faith in God.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse (1Samuel 12:24)" Only fear the LORD and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you." TEXT: 1SAMUEL 12:20-25. Fanny Crosby was a young little girl who became blind as a result of poor handling of an eye infection,she undergone hardship when she was a little child. She was chosen by God to have splendid advantage of writing more than six thousand hymns. Despite the fact that,she was blind, she served God sincerely, from her songs she preached to millions of souls and her songs are yet talking to us today. Our passage under consideration is reminding us to honour God and serve him sincerely. Always appreciate God for what he has done for you: The Bible says," for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son,that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life."( John 3:16). It is out of God's love we are living. We must be thankful to God because in creation, He possesses us. Through redemption, we belong to Him. What actually can we say that hinders man from serving God? Why not serve God in truth so that where Christ is,there you will be also. Like the young little girl in our content, nothing should prevent from serving God. REMEMBER THIS: Nothing should hinder you from serving God.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse(Act 9:15)" But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me,to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and to the children of Israel" TEXT: ACT 9:10-22. In the olden days story,we were made to know that vessels are essential collections that explain social class,economic status especially in princely palaces. Vessels are utensils and household articles usually made for various uses in the house. Some may be designed products of gold,others of silver,metal or lower quality material. Each of this utensil is equally constructed based on the functions they are to perform in the house and also for different occasion, different guests and so on. But it is odd to observe a situation where a useless vessel becomes most demanding container to carry precious and costly drinks for guests and visitors. The life of Saul of Tarsus is a clear lesson of the contradiction of God's grace. He was born and raised in the severe discipline religious movement of the Jewish religion and trained to protect and propagate the belief of that sect. He was totally committed to become the most violent fighter of a damnable philosophy that does not support the gospel of grace. However, he had an unforgettable confrontation with Christ Jesus on his way to perform a wicked engagement in Syria, even after his involvement in the martyrdom of Stephen. A disciple in Damascus Ananias, was surprised from the Lord's message that he had concluded to use such a man as his instrument to propagate the same gospel which he had sought to destroy. What a figurative statement (irony)! How easily we condemn people and made a conclusion that no good thing can come from them because of a present appalling spiritual state. God's saints are the carrier of the amazing grace of God. Deprived of grace, man is no more than a violent beast like Paul before his dramatic change. Let us learn to be tender to God and to be wavering in His hand. Let us try to surrender ourselves fully to Him as a vessel and a voluntary instrument for Him to maximally transform us otherwise useless vessel into glorious instruments. REMEMBER THIS: The grace of God is a mystery that transforms the sinner into saint.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse (1John 5:4)" For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:and this is the victory that overcometh the, even your faith." TEXT:1 JOHN 5:1-5. Football players in one of the colleges once asked their coach the reason winning was so essential to him. He answered " because victory explains you. If you are defeated, nobody remembers you." The players were trying to hold up a claim emphatically that participation was what mattered. Doing your best, regardless of whether you win or lose: that is what explains you," the player replied to their coach. Few years after,one of the players, who was persistently reminded by a rival school teammate of theirs, now then observed that their former coach was right,who stated that in the strives of life, it is not trying alone,but the result of ones action should matter to every person. You can be a successful person if you have this consciousness of often struggling to win early in life. You should not be going in for any competition for the purpose of participation only,but just be resolute to win or succeed. Success comes through faith in God. In everything you do,so let all your trust be in God,who offers peace and makes you to triumph over the negative conditions of life. REMEMBER THIS: The result of every strive depends on God.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse(Hebrews 12:17)"For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears" TEXT:HEBREWS 12:14-17. Some very insightful explanations of profane,which is our topic of discussion. Profane, or being profane is explained as follows: impure or defile,not concerned with religion or religion purposes, unconsecrated, not holy,unsanctified: serving to defile what is holy,to treat something sacred with irreverence and contempt. As Paul the apostle's letter to Hebrews points this serious hint to the life of Esau years ago. He summaries an essential warning to all never to neglect the privilege and opportunity that God has given to us through Christ sacrifice at calvary; neither should we deride at God's unchanging promises and other divine visitations in the church. Matthew Poole stated by given us unrelenting picture of that incident while pointing to the passage as:" Esau,...being Jacob's brother,who was most notoriously profane, who equally irreligiously despised the blessing of the birthright to which involved by God the double potion; the priesthood and dominion over the family, the blessing of the covenant, and being a type of Christ Jesus; he maliciously exchanged it to his younger brother, belittling and freely and fully make it over to him,all for single meal,the destructive gratifying of his pleasurable appetite. " The environment in different assemblies today shows the evil commentary of Man's life who has the singular immunity of inheriting Abraham's blessings but spumed them because of indiscipline, indiscretion and inability to measure his thought and actions in the light of future predictions. Esau missed that ultimate and irremediable opportunity to include among the heroes of faith. Even though he sought to repossess it diligently with tears,he did not succeed, because he scorned that precious gift from God. How do you handle sacred things? Always be sober and vigilant. And make up your mind not to be profane, inconsiderate person like Esau. REMEMBER THIS: He who sells his birthright surrenders his destiny.

For this reason, He does not abandon His people in the dark to suffer reproach who seek and carry out His mandate. It has been long time that Manoah and his wife prayed for a child. God honoured their prayers by sending an angel to proclaim to his wife the arrival of Samson. The child Samson came out of their prayers answered by God. We have to learn reasonable lessons from this happening; She was an obedient child of God who performed the will of God out of doubt,questions and criticism. She was obedient to her husband and did not hide the divine visitation of God from him. The husband equally trusted her and worked on the message of God to them. In the same way as Manoah and his wife,we must trust and abide in God so as to accomplish His promise in ourlives. God will at times allow us through painful and ugly experiences that will finally lead us into His glory. The condition you are now in at this period could be the one that will accomplish your dreams. Labour naturally for women,precedes delivery and joy. The pain of labour grows unbearably to the time of actual delivery. Therefore do not surrender hope because your travail will turn into testimony. Cry to God in the day of adversity as woman travail during labour. Christ Jesus, the Redeemer of mankind did same on the Cross. You need the assurance of other people as everyone in labour does. You must be careful with friendly foes even as you play along with others. God will remember you in the same way He remembered Manoah and his wife,assuredly, I say,He has remembered you.

A person narrated a story of an old woman who move from house to house across the countryside selling few articles. When she came to an unmarked crossroad,she would throw a stick into the air and move in the direction the stick pointed to when it dropped. It came to a day,she was seen throwing up the stick several times. Someone asked the old woman,why do you throw the stick more than once? Her answer was that "Because it keeps pointing to the left,and I want to take the road at the right." She kept tossing the stick into the air until it finally pointed the direction she wanted to take! If you desire God's guidance,into the perfect destination or making a good decision in life,you must have the right relationship with Him.

A person narrated a story of an old woman who move from house to house across the countryside selling few articles. When she came to an unmarked crossroad,she would throw a stick into the air and move in the direction the stick pointed to when it dropped. It came to a day,she was seen throwing up the stick several times. Someone asked the old woman,why do you throw the stick more than once? Her answer was that "Because it keeps pointing to the left,and I want to take the road at the right." She kept tossing the stick into the air until it finally pointed the direction she wanted to take! If you desire God's guidance,into the perfect destination or making a good decision in life,you must have the right relationship with Him. Always abide in His presence and measure the long- term consequences of your decisions. You should be able to differentiate what is wise and appropriate from what is ridiculous and faulty. Be sincere to yourself and wait patiently on the Lord to direct you. REMEMBER THIS: Measure the long-term consequences of your decisions.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse (2Kings 3:15)" But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass,when the minstrel played,that the hand of the LORD came upon him." TEXT:2 KINGS 3:13-20. A good song heals the soul of the hearers. Fine music is the meat of the mind that nourishers the soul of man. Music is comely to the upright. It revives those deactivated and offers hope of existence to the faint. It brings inspiration to the ministers of God in the ministry. In another way,we have so many noisy songs in the world today and in different areas of fellowship that does not edify the hearers. The singers who has not been washed from their iniquity cannot give music of life to souls of men. Evil and ungodly songs arouse evil emotions. There is an immediate demand for saints to consciously offer an inspiring songs and music that will liberate men from sin and sorrow,and in the same way, edify believers. Every saved person should sing songs of inspiration and adoration to God always. REMEMBER THIS: Try today to compose and sing a godly song,and as well as reject ungodly songs from your hearing.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse (Psalm 84:11)" For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will be withhold from them that walk uprightly." TEXT: PSALM 84:10-12. The journey of life is fraught with many dangers. Many seek shelter from this dangers,although in wrong places: others seek their shelter in God. It is very unfortunate that many people have determined to navigate through this life without God. They fail to understand that nothing is as dangerous as walking through life without Christ Jesus who never fails. Actually, it may may not be cumbersome to go through life without human companions, material things and other things that gratify the flesh. But it is impossible to go through life even with all the comfort you can afford, while neglecting God and His guidance. From our reference point of study, David understood this point himself, having experienced the trouble that comes with trying to do things in one's own direction. Our Lord is the Rock of shelter for the weary. He is the Rock of Refuge from the storm,the Rock of Horeb for the thirsty,the Rock of Security for the church, and indeed,the Rock of Ages for all who trust in Him. This period we are living in has shown us drastically the instability of everything usually human,thrones, kingdoms, old established institutions have collapsed. But Jesus, the only begotten Son of God is the Rock that abides from generation to generation. When you really trust in Him,you get perfect peace!He is the prince of peace, our Buckler and Defender. Where is your anchor? Is it in man that disappoints or in God? Why not make God your Rock of Ages today. REMEMBER THIS: Thrones, kingdoms and highly established institutions will collapse but Christ Jesus endures from everlasting to everlasting.

Chuks4prince: Centre verse (Revelation 19:5)." And a voice came out of the throne, saying, praise our God,all ye servants and ye that fear him,both small and great " TEXT:REVELATION 19:1-5. Edwards Jonathan was one of the chief Employments of heaven, who was offering a thanksgiving message in seventeen centuries on a topic " Praise," he took his reference under consideration from Revelation 14:2:" And I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters,and as the voice of a great thunder,and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps." He taught on the importance of praise to God as we are on this earth. John the beloved mentions that he heard a great voice of many people in heaven singing and praising God. He also had a revelation on the nature of God's judgement. It is simple that God has no double standard. The pattern He judged evil doers in the days gone by is the similar way He will handle people who live sinful lifestyle even today. Unlike the wailing,anguish and gnashing of teeth that will be the inheritance of sinners in hell,Christians who will be faithful and endure till the end will wear the crown of life which Christ the righteous judge prepared for those that love Him. They will be no more suffering; their activities will be the offering of songs of praise to their Lord and Deliverer. The text under our study equally stated that it is righteousness through Christ that qualify those who want to be included in the happy throne in heaven. It is educative to note that every category of persons will be involved in the maximum engagement of praising the Lord. The young and the aged,the small and the great will all be included in singing praises to the Almighty without the difficulty of learning the fundamentals and rudiments of music. Beloved, have a reflections on your hope of been in the numbers of the holy congregation which offers everlasting praise daily and adoration to God. Fixing a relationship with Him through Christ Jesus is the only option available for man. REMEMBER THIS: Praise is comely for the upright.
