DO NOT TAUNT
*****
Someone once said "if you do not have anything good to say, please don't say anything at all (keep quiet)"

A word of encouragement at all times helps to build good character and a positive mind frame in people.

"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."
Proverbs 16:24

Prayer:
My Father and my God, I know that you love me.
Please Lord, help me to love others and be an encouragement to people just as you love me and encourage me, I ask in Jesus Holy name
Amen

THE FOOL
****
Dear friend, be very careful so that you will not be labelled a fool.

A fool is a person who lacks wisdom, one who knows what is good to be done but yet does otherwise.

A fool can also be defined among other definitions as someone who gets angry easily.

"Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in the bosom of fools."
Ecclesiastes 7:9

Never be in a hurry to respond or act when upset, because according to the bible if you do, you will be regarded as a fool.
Instead, take a few deep breaths and say "Lord Jesus help me", this is wisdom.

Prayer:
Father I surrender my heart to you, please fill it with your patience and wisdom in Jesus Holy name
Amen

ASK & BELIEVE
*******
"for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Matthew 7:8

Today, God encourages us to have faith that we will receive what we ask of him.

Prayer:
Oh Lord when I pray to you, I believe in you.
Please help my unbelief, increase my faith in Jesus Holy name
Amen

GET IT
****
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:7

Jesus continued also by saying
"For everyone who asks will receive, and those who seek will find and doorswill be opened unto you also if you Knock"

Therefore if you request of the almighty God who is also our Father, we will get our heart desires.
So live right (a holy life) and ask of God to receive in abundance
Amen

Prayer;
Father God, I surrender my life to you as a sacrifice, pls take control of me and bless me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

NEW
****
The body and blood of Jesus is the new covenant from God.

It abolishes the old things, and brings in the new things.

May this new covenant bring us into the new life and Glory of God through his Son and our saviour Jesus Christ the Lord
Amen

GIVE YOUR HEART
****
You heart is what God desires, because out of the heart come the issues of life (Guard it very carefully)

If your heart is right, your deeds will be right and if it is evil, rarely ever can deeds be good.

The Heart is our place of judgement, and when we surrender our heart to God, it shows that we fear and love God.
God will personal take charge of your every need.

"And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:37

PRAYER
Father please forgive me of my sins and mistakes.
I surrender my heart to you, wash me and make me whole again in you, I ask in Jesus Holy name
Amen

32. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
33. Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.

GLORY IN HUMILITY
****
Pride goes before a fall, and so does arrogance ruin a relationship.

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;"
1 Peter 5:6

Humility before God is a reflection of your humility toward your fellow human.
- If you show humility in your ways, in due time you will be exalted by your superiors and colleagues.
This is the glory of God.

Prayer:
Father take Pride and Arrogance faraway from my heart, my home and my actions in Jesus Holy name
Amen

BECAUSE OF GOD
********
God has called us to do his will with our lives for his name sake, and not to please anyone but God only, and He will reward you in due time.

"whatsoever ye do, do it with all your heart, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ."
Colossians 3:23-24

*And when you do good because of the name of God and do it with your whole heart.
The God that you serve will never let you down.

Prayer
Father I pray that my life will be a pleasing sacrifice to you in Jesus Holy name
Amen

KEYS TO SUCCESS
****
Everyone likes to call God for everything, but do you know that the power to have success is with you?

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
(Joshua 1:

PRAYER:

Amen

We havent scan the lumps to know if it is cancer or not but i am worried my sister may die of cancer.

*********
Getting things might be easier than we thought, as it is written;

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:7

Youn can ask God for something that may seem impossible, (even your sisters health, hold hands together and prayer about it) and watch God show his mercies in a bun fancy in that situation.

BECOME BETTER EACH DAY
***
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and yelling/clamor, and railing, be put away from you, and malice also:
be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:31-32

Going through this verse, we have at one time fallen short.
Noone is perfect, but making an effort is what God really needs from us.

PRAYER:
Father Have mercy on me, help me be better eachday and save my soul in Jesus Holy name
Amen

NOT WORKS BUT PURPOSE
*****
..HE saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
2 Timothy 1:9

*God didn't make us just to prosper and have riches and a happy life, but rather he made us for his own purpose that we may live our life to expand his kingdom by our words and our ways.

Q. What are you doing today to expand the kingdom of God?

Make an effort to do something each day for the kingdom of God, no matter how small.

PRAYER
Father, please help me to do your will and live for your purpose in Jesus Holy name
Amen

Hi Isreal, what is your budget?

Nice write up, but you need to read the Bible or Quran.

Beauty is vain and like a flower will wither away with time but a good character is an everlasting treasure, which gets more valuable with time.

Dear men, please ignore the post on men, and go for the virtuous woman that will give you a longer and peaceful life here on earth, and also lead you to a greater chance of building a good relationship with God.

The battle is not yours..

Once you are able understand and accept this, you will put your faith and trust in God only and not in your ability.

Most people put a lot of trust in their ability and end up loosing to the devil.
(but it's not by your power or might but by the spirit of God)

The battle is mine says the Lord [2 Chronicle 20:15]

Know this also,..
The victory is not yours, but belongs to the Lord.
For all Glory belongs to God.

*Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10
Amen

"Finally, my dear brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—keep thinking about these things and also, so do‎"

God will help us if we make an effort

the obvious according to you are not flaws.
i earlier refered to Piccaso's works.

if something is for a purpose, do you call it a flaw?

donnffd:
Thats the point of the post, if i wanted to design a universe for my creatures, would i do it with all these numerous flaws? what was i thinking?

Piccaso created many abstarct art works. They may look out of order, but scincerely they were designed to be so.

God is a greater artist, and Everything that God created is for a purpose. It may look out of order, but it was designed to be so for His divine pleasure.

"Thou art worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast creadted all thing , and for thy pleasure they are and were created." (Rev 4:11)

Q. what is yours?

BIBLE STUDY
19/05/2016‎
‎
One of the greatest mysteries of the universe was revealed ‎in the book of John

‎It's is written,
‎
‎"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- The same (which is the Word) was in the beginning with God.‎
- All things were made by him (the Word); and without him (the Word) was not anything ever made.‎
‎
- In Him (the Word) is life; and the life is the light of men.‎ And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness (which is the devil) cannot overcome it" (John 1: 1-5)
‎
Jesus is the Word of God for "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14)
‎
God wants to reveal himself to us.‎
He wants us to know him, and to know who we truly are so that we can become more like him; full of grace, truth, love and power over darkness.‎
But if you don't study your bible, how would you know this?‎
‎
Take up the bible and learn about who you truly are.
‎
PRAYER: Lord, reveal yourself to me as I study and  meditate upon‎ your word in Jesus Holy name
Amen‎

LOGIC BOY
18/05/2016‎‎
‎
Q: How does one focus on the Lord, a spirit that you cannot see, touch or smell?
‎
Ans: When you focus on the message of God, you focus on the Lord.‎
"...the Word is God" (John 1:1)
‎
When you receive a love letter from a loved one, you feel the love in from the words of that person, this is the same with the word of God.‎
‎
*Studying your bible often and praying always helps us focus and understand God.
‎
PRAYER: Father, please draw me close to you and never let me go I plead in Jesus Holy name
Amen‎
‎‎
Be good as God is good‎

ONE CHAPTER, 2WKS
17/05/2016‎‎
‎
Have you ever been stuck on a chapter of the bible, for no good reason? ‎
‎
I've been stuck on Luke Chapter 12 for 2weeks now and must confess, it's not because of some lessons which I'm picking up, but because I became a little un serious about my bible study habit, so to make ammends, I picked up my bible and continued from verse 40‎ and it read
‎
"Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." (40).‎
‎
Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching (37)"
‎
‎What is your handiwork to the kingdom‎ of God? 
Have you also gone weary?‎
‎Its ok, but you need to sit up again.
‎
Remember "the Lord will come in a day when no-one considers or expects him", but blessed is the person whom his lord when he comes shall find him busy about the affairs of the kingdom of God."
(Luke 46&43)‎
‎
PRAYER‎:
‎Father please forgive me for every way that I have wronged you. ‎
Pour out your spirit on me and let the zeal of your house consume me in Jesus Holy name
Amen‎
‎
He that wins souls is wise

BAD IS BETTER THAN WORSE‎ 
16/05/2016‎‎
‎
I will like to apologise for today's message delay.‎
‎
Yesterday, I felt very low in spirit and mind, and decided that I will not post devotion messages anymore, cos I felt unworthy of such.
‎
While having my shower this morning, I remembered "Elijah was a man just as we are with like passions, but he prayed that no rain fell in the land for 3 and a half years and it was so." (James 5:17)‎
‎
God is not searching for that perfect person to use, but he is searching for that someone who can be passionate about Godly things.
‎He (God) will mould you into his perfect will.‎

If you are someone who does good, please whatever the situation, never stop because the little good you do, is an encouragement to soo many searching for a good role model.‎
‎
PRAYER: Lord, today, I ask that you strengthen and sustain me in righteousness according to your will in Jesus Holy name‎
Amen‎
‎
