SURF YOUR HORIZON

“And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot
was separated from him, lift up now thine eyes,
and look from the place where thou art northward,
and southward and eastward, and westward: For
all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,
and to thy seed forever”
- Genesis 13: 14,15

It takes diligence to surf ones horizon to know
what necessary things are available to do for
progress in life. According to Watchman Nee in his
book, The Character of the Lord’s Worker, “A
diligent person is never idle; he is always looking
for things to do. He is always pondering, praying,
contemplating, and considering before God as to
what he should do.” God made Abram to view his
horizon to know what belonged to him. Look
beyond your immediate environment; the world is
a global village today through the use of the radio,
TV, GSM, Internet and the print media. With them,
you can soar high like the eagle and see what the
average people cannot see. Remember, knowledge
is potential power. Get it, use it prayerfully and
power is yours.

Challenge: See it, say it and seize it

Prayer: Grant me wisdom to surf my horizon, O
Lord

Quote: Knowledge is power

PERFECT EVANGELIST
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” - Acts 10:38
In his book, Evangelism by Fire, Reinhard Bonnnke says, “I cry to God day and night for greater effectiveness in winning our generation for Him.” Notable evangelists in Bible times include: Philip, Peter, Paul, Apollos and Barnabas. The only perfect evangelist however is Christ. He came to seek and to save that which was lost; He declared, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Jesus preached and healed in homes, in the synagogues, wilderness, at sea sides, roadsides and on the mountains. He preached to large crowds and to few people. Jesus was the Perfect Pioneer Evangelist who mentored others to carry on the work. Christians should follow the example of Christ, who can make us successful fishers of men. We need to live holily, watchfully and, prayerfully to bring in the souls.
Challenge: Preaching the Gospel is medicine to a sick soul
Prayer: O Lord, teach me to preach Your word always
Quote: Follow the example of Christ

COMPELLING CONVICTION
“For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard” - Acts 4:20
When the two Wright brothers were fully convinced that they could make an aeroplane, there was no stopping them. A New York Times editorial on December 10, 1903 mocked their wisdom of trying to invent and fly an object heavier than air. However, a week later they made the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk. Apart from the influence of the Holy Spirit in the early church, compelling conviction was one of the motivating factor in the believers’ stand for Christ and exploits in the early church work. A compelling conviction is a necessity for developing and achieving goals. As a Christian, you must have a compelling conviction about Christ that can see you through the tough moral, social and technological challenges in the world today. Apostles Peter, Paul and John as well as Martin Luther, of the reformation era, overcame the enemies of the Church through their deep conviction in God’s Word. You too need it today!
Challenge: Lack of deep conviction is a channel to an endless drift
Prayer: Lord, help me to overcome the tough challenges I am facing
Quote: Stand for Christ

TOILING TIME
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” - Ecclesiastes 3:1
Great champions in the race of life have generally come to understand that gold medals are not actually made of gold. One of them, Gable, observed that ‘gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.’ A dream will never become a reality through magic. It will take real sweat, determination and hard work. Many youths treasure leisure and pleasure when they ought to be toiling and travailing to bring forth their vision. Such youths never understand that the vision of every champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking. If you want to be among the celebrated champions of tomorrow, you must detach yourself from the company of youth who sweat the petty things and pet the sweat things. Remember Jesus’ admonition to toil while it is day, the night cometh when no man can work. Today is the only currency you have, invest it well, don’t spend it anyhow.
Challenge: Invest today, don’t spend it carelessly
Prayer: Help me Lord to toil when it is day
Quote: Toil while it is day

SLEEPING GIANT
“And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him” - Judges 16:19
Great leaders all over the ages know the implication of waking up the sleeping giant. Admiral Isoroku Yamamotu after leading an attack on his enemy was once quoted “I fear all we have done is to awake a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” Napoleon Bonaparte once declared “China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she would move the world’ while L. Ravenhill questioned “Is not the church the sleeping giant today?” “Sh-sh-sh…’ can you hear the devil whispering to his army, “let the victorious youth of this generation sleep in pleasure, for if they wake up they will disturb us.” How is the devil seeing you? Yes, of course, as a sleeping giant. How long will you continue to sleep and slumber? Wake up from your spiritual slumber today. Even the devil knows, if you do, you would move the world.
Challenge: Only wakened giants can move their world
Prayer: Keep me from spiritual slumber, Lord.
Quote: Wake up from your spiritual slumber

steveneche:
was that an everlasting torment? Those that died at the time of noah shall still b resurrected to face general judgement.. If there's is hell dat is implies automatic hellfire for dem since they died disobeying God.. This is complicated my broda

nowadays You log on to a particular site especially on Sunday what you see is some people trying to mislead others by convincing them that there's no heaven and hell. Misinterpreting the Bible. Well I am not surprised.
The Bible says :
Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

In the days of Noah when he was telling people to prepare that there would be flooding many doubted when the day came they were unprepared and God told Noah to replace them with animals. that's how that day will be for those who says there's no hell and heaven. it would be too late for atheists.

TAMAR’S TEARS
“And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying” - II Samuel 13:19)
An argument once ensued between two teenagers on who was wiser. The younger told the elder that he could entice her till she got her finger burnt in a furnace. ‘You are too young and immature for that,’ boasted the elder sister. Few days later, the boy brought a fresh corn and promised the sister half of the cob if she could roast it in the big oven of the local bakery. As she was roasting the corn, behold the manager! She grabbed the corn to escape unnoticed. Alas! The deed had been done. She got not only her fingers, but her feet badly burnt. What a trap! Tamar’s tears in our text were as a result of lack of discretion. She lost her seal of originality. Are you discrete in all your doings? Do you put a limit to the extent a friend or close associate can go with you? Remember, discretion is the best part of courage.
Challenge: Look beyond the bait before taking a bite
Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see beyond the bait
Quote: Discretion is the best part of courage

1] Jonathan sold Petrol at N87 while Buhari is selling at average of N300 & above, yet Buhari supporters think Jonathan was more corrupt and wasteful. 2] When Jonathan Budgeted N1bn for feeding in Aso-Rock in 2011, and N517m in 2015, APC cried wolf and now Buhari's budget for same is N1.7billion. Yet Buharists are mute and still think GEJ was more corrupt and wasteful. 3] Jonathan spent N1.4bn to service all presidential jets in one year while Buhari spends N6bn on same in 6month yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt and wasteful. 4] Jonathan gave more funding to education while Buhari's 2016 budget favours Ministry of information more than education yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt/ wasteful. 5] Jonathan spent an average of N8million on each international trip while Buhari spends an average of N55million on each international trip, yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt and wasteful. 6] Jonathan created Over 5.8millon jobs in 5yrs while buhari has sacked over 2million workers in 8months. Check Federal Bureau of Statistics. 7] Jonathan made Nigeria's economy the best in Africa and No 1 investment destination & quadrupled our GDP in 4yrs while Buhari has dragged Nigeria's economy down to 14th position in ranking in just 7months. 8] Jonathan left Naira exchange rate @ N185 to $1 but Buhari with his Adama and Eve economics has destroyed the Naira in just 8 months which now sells at N315 to $1. 9] It took Jonathan less than 2weeks to select his cabinet including foreign based technocrats while it took Buhari 6months to do same. Even with indicted people and no single economist among the 36 names. 10] Buhari claimed that subsidy was fraud (Who is subsidizing who@) but buhari has spent N1.2trillion on fuel subsidy in the last 5 months and still no fuel while all Buharists have suddenly gone dumb. 11] Buhari/APC accused Jonathan of corruption but have not been able to pin one stain on him, while Muhammadu Buhari himself followed the crowd that entered into the #DasukiGate . 12] Under Jonathan freedom and liberty of Nigerians was not determined by party affiliation, but today under Buhari his perceived enemies and political opponents are leveled with frivolous allegations of crimes and intimidated with either the EFCC or the DSS. 13] Buhari does not have an Honorary WAEC but bags an illegal Honorary (Ph.D) from a university that have no PhD student and Not approved by NUC and yet Buharists respect his NEPA Bill more than GEJ's PhD. 14. Buhari used his secondary school principal's recommendation letter to become Military Head of State and again used Court Affidavit to become President and no one reminded him that these are the height of corruption. He Refused to declare his assets public, suppressing the FOI and denied all his 81 election promises and stayed in the last 8 months blaming former leaders. Jonathan was in that position, he never complained or blamed anyone, but faced his work even when Buhari's disgruntled brother ensured that Nigeria will know no peace. - Hope For Nigeria.

SWITCH TO SUCCESS
“So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work” - Nehemiah 4:6
A young boy once scored 59% in promotion examination to Form III and wept bitterly as if he just lost his parents. The same boy scored 12% in the same Mathematics examination in first term of Form III and was laughing as if he had just won a jackpot. This woeful trend continued until promotion to Form V when he was the only student in the art class that had credit in Mathematics. After marking his paper, his Indian Class Mathematics teacher exclaimed: ‘This is a miracle!’ This true life story shows that success as well as failure has a switch button. What happened to the boy between Form II and III is a switch. He joined and associated with friends whose thoughts, actions and ideas responded to and celebrated failure. Unknown to his teacher, the boy had made another switch to dissociate from friends, ideas and actions that celebrated mediocrity. Success switch is in the mind, you too can switch your mindset to success today; and whether people believe in you or not, they will be forced to celebrate you.
Challenge: Dissociate from friends that celebrate mediocrity
Prayer: Deliver me from thoughts and actions that promote failure
Quote: Switch your mindset to success

REFRESHING WATER
“But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water there out…” - Judges 15:19a)
Have you ever pause and thought on the importance of water in your body? Your brain contains 74.8% of water; blood 83%; heart 79.2%; muscle 75.6%; skin 72% and bone 22%. Water helps to remove body waste; regulates body temperature; lubricates joints; serves as transporter and protector. A 1% reduction of your water level causes thirst; 5% leads to loss of muscle strength, decline in endurance, hotness and tiredness; 10% loss can cause delirium and blurred vision while 20% loss results in death. Jesus promised His followers living water and Apostle Paul refers to the sanctifying water as the word of God. As you consider the importance of natural water in the body, you need to equally consider the place of the water of the word in your spiritual life. What is your daily intake of the word of God and how regular is it? Remember, water is life.
Challenge: Consider the place of the water of the word
Prayer: Lord, give me this water that I thirst not
Quote: Water is life

POWER OF THE TONGUE “Death and life is in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” - Proverb 18:21
Shirly Show’s poem clearly portrays the power of the tongue thus: Be careful what you say and how you say it to others ‘cause the tongue has a way, of making one’s heart flutter. It also causes much mass-confusion, with just a simple utter. Or in a roundabout way, the tongue can be a complete- cutter. The tongue can be used for good, or bad. But remember, once it’s spoken, it could be all too sad... It can lead to the winning or loss of friends, So just be careful what power you allow it to use. You need to know that little words from the tongue can cut so deep as to cause deep hurt, sorrow, sadness, great pain and agony to yourself and to others. Therefore, watch and weigh those little words of yours today. Resolve to plant only words that will bring joy and gladness to your world and others.
Challenge: Watch and weigh those little words today
Prayer: God, set a watch over my mouth
Quote: Plant words that will bring joy

MORNING MEAL “And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted” - Exodus 16:21
Researchers are daily coming out with amazing facts on the benefits of morning meal. It provides body and brain with fuel after an overnight of fast. Eating breakfast regularly can reduce obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. It helps in terms of fitness, affects the mind, better problem solving skill and increased mental clarity. It is important for everyone, but especially for children and adolescent. Nutritionists suggest that breakfast should be eaten within two hours of waking. Is it not surprising then that many people daily sacrifice their breakfast? The word of God is pictured as food. Jeremiah said, “Thy words were found and I did eat them”. Job esteemed God’s words more than necessary meal. Our text shows us the right time to gather the bread, morning. Do you want to live a spiritually healthy, vibrant and victorious life? Then, rise early to gather and feed on the manna of the word daily.
Challenge: Breakfast like a king
Prayer: Lord, give me, this day, the sustaining bread of life
Quote: Feed on the word daily

LOOK AND LIVE
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live” - Numbers 21:8
An old man once met a young boy struggling to remove his hooked hand in a jar. The old man tried to help him out but to no avail. He noticed his clenched fist and advised him to unclench it. He replied, ‘Old man, my only coin is in that fist and if I unclench it, the coin will fall.’ ‘No other way to help you,’ the old man retorted and left him. Our text reveals God’s simple solution to the problem of every man dying as a result of the poison of sin, self and Satan—look and live! Yet, many still died of the plague. Is it not equally surprising today that many youth still die in their sins, yet Christ has been lifted for their salvation? If you look and are not yet saved, it is because of the cherished coin in your hand. Let go and let God today.
Challenge: Behold the Lamb of God!
Prayer: Lord, I surrender all
today as I look to the Lamb for salvation

HORROR OF HELL
“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name’ - Revelation 14:11
A young Christian once preached to her bunk mate about the horror of hell. The girl looked at her face and responded sarcastically, “I have made up my mind to have my cup of sin overflowing so that God will be so angry with me and fling me beyond the lake of fire”. As the girl was sleeping that same night, she dreamt and found herself on the 4th floor of a burning building. She was making a frantic effort to escape with others caught in the inferno. Her terrifying scream woke all her roommates. It was chilling cold in the room, yet she was soaked in her sweat and breathing very fast. Though her body was in a chilling cold room, her body could feel the heat of the fire in her dream. Don’t be deceived, heaven and hell are real, and only those who are genuinely saved will be qualified to enter heaven. Those who die in sin shall find themselves in hell, where they will burn in the lake of fire with Satan eternally.
Challenge: Where will you spend eternity?
Prayer: Lord, help me to escape hell
Quote: Heaven and hell are real

HALT THAT HABIT
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof” - Romans 6:12
‘Devil, if you are as powerful as you made me believe, push me inside now!’ That was the climax of the long drawn battle between a young church member and the devil. The young man had confessed to his pastor how the devil had been ‘pushing’ him against his will to patronise prostitutes. The pastor smiled and told him that anytime ‘the mighty devil’ came to bundle him again, he should follow him to the front of the brothel, stop, close his eyes and ask the devil to push him in. Surprisingly, after waiting for some minutes, he opened his eyes and found himself, not in the prostitute’s bosom, but where he stopped. So, the devil is not as strong as he had claimed. Are you under any evil habit and influence - immorality, lust, drug addiction, alcohol, smoking, betting, gambling, anger, etc? The devil behind these evil habits is as powerful as you allow him. With positive action enlivened by grace, you can halt that negative habit before it halts you. Challenge: You can halt that habit before it halts you.
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over evil habits.
Quote: Halt that negative habit

HOPE FOR DUMMIES
“The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot” - Proverbs 10:7
A man once brought his children to a man of God after a church service and asked them to have a handshake with him. Without saying anything else, he thanked the Pastor and told him he would come back to testify. Meanwhile, he had been advised to withdraw his son from school because of his continual woeful performance. The man went back to the school, begged the school not only to give the boy another chance, but allow him proceed to the next class. At the end of the term, none of the children came below 5th position! There is no hopeless case before God. Have you been tagged a hopeless, irredeemable dummy? Are you currently facing challenges in any subject or course? The God of Daniel is still alive. Don’t give up. Pray. Have faith in God. Explore your untapped potentials. Surely, there is hope.

There's a reason I want Donald Trump to become the president of USA. Donald Trump cannot fold his arms and watch Buhari destroying democracy and disobeying court order. in his campaign speech he said he'll surely deal with all African leaders who are dictator. Buhari won't destroy democracy and go scot free as he did before. God will surely fight for his people. after this tenure you won't hear of APC again in Nigeria. Buhari might end up in jail. let's watch out

Before the election I listened to one audio by one pastor he warned Nigerians not to vote for Buhari that Islam wants him to be a president so that they can islamise Nigeria but we wouldn't listen and we voted for him. you made a mistake but the almighty God who is merciful will forgive us and will not allow his evil plans to come to pass. mark this day if Buhari dare God and want to islamise Nigeria he'll die before his tenure is over. as many that will be involved when they will travel to seal the deal they will die via plane crash. God is alive. I'm not afraid because I know the God I served
