Praise GOD

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins
And accept You as my Lord and Saviour,
I believe you died for me
To make me a new man/woman.
Forgive me all my sins,
wash me with your blood,
And give me a new heart.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul.
Now I believe that I am born again,
And I am a child of GOD.
Amen!

Hallelujah, give GOD thanks for this brand new working week, that will keep working for you and I.

‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

Jesus, I want to hear You today, speak to me. When I hear from You, things turn in my favor. Cause me to hear from You.

‭Isaiah 9:8 KJV‬
[8] The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

Jesus, honor Your Word, and grant us a great start in the name of Jesus.

Spiritual growth is a personal and non-transferable responsibility

‭1 Peter 2:2 KJV‬
[2] as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

‭2 Peter 3:18 KJV‬
[18] But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Just like no man can run with another man's legs, one cannot box with another man's fists. Likewise, no man can eat for another.
Everyone is absolutely responsible for the outcome of their life.

Spiritual Growth; A Vital Requirement For Commanding The Supernatural

Miracles do not establish people in the faith, miracles invite people into the faith

‭Isaiah 33:6 KJV‬
[6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

No lecture on nutrition will be substitute to eating.
What are you doing to gain strength and build capacity? It matters a lot!

‭Galatians 4:1-3 KJV‬
[1] Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; [2] but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. [3] Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

As long as we remain spiritual babies, we cannot gain command

‭1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV‬
[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Those who won't commit to growth today will groan tomorrow

‭Proverbs 21:16 KJV‬
[16] The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

We need spiritual depth to gain command of the affairs of life. Every needs spiritual growth to gain command of the supernatural.

3 Points

1. Our access to the Word that results in growth demands new birth

‭Mark 4:11 KJV‬
[11] And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

‭John 10:27-28 KJV‬
[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

No devil can pluck us out, only us can pluck ourselves out.

GOD'S Word is the spiritual milk that all newborns need to grow. It's time to grow so we don't end up groaning

‭Isaiah 55:1 KJV‬
[1] Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

GOD'S Word is water, meat, wine, milk.

No believer without a crave for the Word has a future in the Kingdom. The 4 Gospel is the foundation

‭Hebrews 5:13 KJV‬
[13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

‭Isaiah 55:11 KJV‬
[11] so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Our spirit man needs to be fed to stay alive.

2. We access divine strength from the Word, that puts believers in command of the supernatural.
It makes us unconfrontable in challenges.

‭John 4:33-34 KJV‬
[33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? [34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

‭Matthew 7:24-25 KJV‬
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [25] and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

The rock is finding and doing what the Word says; exercising and putting the Word to work. Devote your time for spiritual growth.

‭Proverbs 24:10 KJV‬
[10] If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

It's time to build strength against the rainy days

‭John 16:33 KJV‬
[33] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Build strength so you can overcome when confronted. That's why we need spiritual strength

3. GOD'S agenda is to bring us to the realm of walking in the supernatural.


Can anyone run with another man's legs to win a race?
I have a responsibility to be strong in the Word.

GOD, I need YOUR help, Jesus, let this month be my month of change of levels in my spiritual life in the name of Jesus.


Thank You Jesus

It is a great day of joy, celebration, and Thanksgiving for Nigeria's first female Force Secretary, AIG Yetunde Longe as she pulled out from the Nigeria Police in grand style. AIG Yetunde Longe also clocked 60 reaching the full age of service to retire from the Police as another member of the famous Course 16 of 1990, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.
 
With this development, Yetunde Longe joins her husband, AIG Kehinde Patrick Longe who retired meritoriously last years. The Longes are one of the few power couples in the Nigeria Police Force and they are very impactful in and outside of the Nigeria Police Force.
 
In his eulogy to the first Force Secretary, the IGP Kayode Egbetokun who was represented by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG in charge of Southwest, DIG Sylvester Abiodun Alabi said: 'AIG Yetunde Longe who is retiring after a meritorious service to our fatherland is an Amazon. We celebrate your unwavering commitment, bravery, and dedication to protecting lives and properties in the nation. Your career has been a remarkable one marked with countless acts of heroism and compassion. You have faced a lot of challenges but you kept on soaring high as one of the most resilient police officers in the job and as a member of the management team before you bowed out as the first female secretary of the police force.'
 
DIG Alabi added: 'We are so proud of you. You have been a role model to so many police officers, particularly in combining policing and the home force. I want to say here categorically that the entire people of Ekiti that you’re married to are very proud of you. It is not easy for you to combine policing and home front together, you have never failed in any of those duties, I am particularly impressed with the way you have contributed to policy formulation and implementation as the member of the force management team before you’re exiting today.'
 
'We will continue to draw from your inspiration and experience that you have shown in the course of your career. Let me particularly thank all course 290, course 216 of the Nigeria police force who are here present for your support not only for Yetunde but to the entire police force. We wish you God's guidance, protection and a successful retirement life, in good health', Alabi said.
 
NAOSNP can report that, on his part, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Oniru of Iru land stated: 'The celebrant of today, my darling cousin, aunty Yetunde as I fondly call her, happy birthday, today is a very memorable day for you being your birthday and today you’re also 60. I am very happy I saw a lot of your colleagues your seniors and juniors that are here to celebrate you.'
'A lot has been said, Yetunde Longe is someone I have known right from when I was a baby, we were raise together, she was one of the people that encourage me when I entered the police force, even when I left the police force, she was always there for me, whenever I needed her or member of the family or community she was always there. She had a very remarkable career in Nigeria Police force, she was always grateful wherever she was posted as a Police officer, Yetunde never lobbied for any post I can say that and when this last posting as Force Secretary came, we congratulated her and she said “Kabiyesi ese o” because she is like that, so today Yetunde may almighty God continue to be with you “ gbogbo awon alele ako won a duro ti e, eleda baba, eleda iya won a duro ti e, oni rin leku lowo, oni rin larun lowo.'
 
'The Oba of Lagos, our mentor in the force, kabiyesi, Akiolu encourage a lot of us because he is still our mentor, kabiyesi Oba Riliwanu Osuolale Aremu Akiolu the first, we will continue to leverage on the opening that you give to us when we are still in the force, a lot of us that you influence both serving and retired we’ll always be grateful to you kabiyesi Akiolu and I’m sure AIG Longe will always be grateful to Kabiyesi and God Almighty', concluded Oba Oniru who was a former cop.
 
Other former cops and dignitaries who were at the event include DIG Abiodun Alabi, DIG Bode Adeleke rtd, DIG David Folawiyo rtd, AIG Hakeem Olusegun Odumosu rtd, AIG Oyekola Shodipo rtd, AIG Wale Abass, AIG Olatoye Durosinmi rtd, AIG Margaret Ochalla, AIG Lanre Bankole rtd, AIG Kehinde Longe rtd, CP Adegoke Fayoade, CP Ishola Olarenwaju, CP Sonubi Ayodele, CP Abiodun Mustapha Alamutu, CP Waheed Ayilara, DCP Fatai Tijani, DCP Ejedawe Patrick, DCP Bayonle Kafar Sulaiman, ACP Paul Azuka Okafor, ACP Aisha Haruna Maliki, ACP Jide Agboola, ACP Ayodele Dorcas Fadairo (retd), Lagos White cap chiefs, Mrs. Osinbajo (Mother of immediate past Vice President), Barr. Michael Enyinnaya, Mr. Matthew Ibadin, among many others.

 
ACP Ayodele Dorcas Fadairo rtd remarked about the Longes, 'When they got married I was there, first child I was there, second child I was there. I remember that day her husband, AIG Kehinde Longe rtd was going to Angola and suddenly Yetunde got pregnant, Yetunde said Aunty Ayo you caused this, and be ready to tender this pregnancy and I said God will do it and God did it and the child of that time is 32 years old now if I’m not mistaken and for one day have never settled any case for Yetunde Longe and her husband going to 34 years and I’ll tell other police women and civilians who are here today, go to Yetunde Longe for marriage counseling, and God will uphold her, be with her, God will not leave her.'
'She has retired, she retired into blessing, into goodwill, into mercy of God, Favour of God and everything good, she deserve it and more than that in Jesus mighty name', said the woman they fondly called Aunty Ayo.
AIG Oyekola Shodipo who retired over 7years ago said 'Yetunde told me about 3 months ago when DIG's wife was celebrating her 50th birthday she said Mr Shodipo you’re going to give the goodwill message at my retirement, I have to put something down. Today as we gather to celebrate the remarkable career of a true hero who has left an incredible mark on our communities, I am indeed honored to give this goodwill message. She has exemplified the true meaning of dedication, courage and selflessness, she have served and protected our communities putting her own safety on the line to ensure peace and security of the people, I celebrate Yetunde today for the many lives she has touched.'
Mr. Disu added about Yetunde Longe, 'She has been entrusted with very special positions, what else can we say other than to wish her the very best, the children are doing well, family doing well and she still has a lot of years, long healthy years ahead of her and we can only join her in praying that the long years ahead will be healthy and joyful.'
In her response, AIG Yetunde Longe (retd) thanked everyone who had come to celebrate with her. 'I stand before you today with a mixed emotion, as I bid farewell to a chapter of life that was define for so many years. as I retire from the Nigeria police force, after reaching the mandatory age of 60 years, I am filled with sense of pride, accomplishment and fulfillment, it has been an incredible fulfill journey doted with challenges.'
'Throughout my time in the force I have had the unique privilege of serving along with some of the finest men and women, who have dedicated their lives to upholding the law, protecting our communities and ensuring the safety and security of our dear nation. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I have had to make a difference in the lives of others, to genuinely serve my great country, with honor and integrity, work towards a safer and just society for all Nigerians', she concluded.

Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD


Give GOD thanks for answered prayers, for the goodness of the LORD, and confirmation of YOUR Word.

‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him

LORD, speak to me, put in my hand a treasure that will be speaking all through my life

‭Isaiah 50:5 KJV‬
[5] The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back

Help me Jesus to hear from You. Thank You for keeping us on our feet, retaining life in our nostrils.

‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me

We acknowledge You, receive our thanks. Speak to us and let Your name be glorified in Jesus name.

Spiritual Stewardship Pays The Most Part 6

‭Mark 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

‭Mark 10:28-30 KJV‬
[28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. [29] And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, [30] but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

It serves both heaven's agenda in the now, and eternal life at the end.
Every investment in the Kingdom returns 10,000 of interest rate; your time, investment of resources, the most valuable investment on planet earth.

Amazing returns is the lot of everyone who genuinely commits to spiritual stewardship as a lifestyle.

Today; Praying for New Converts and New Members; to be established in the faith.

‭Luke 11:24-26 KJV‬
[24] When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. [25] And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. [26] Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

We have a responsibility to serve in prayers, not just for souls to be saved, but to be established by growing in the faith, and serving the LORD.

A parked car gathers more dust than the car in motion.
Doing nothing gathers dust, not doing HIS bidding gathers dust.
Anybody who can eat can pray.

LORD, establish every new convert and member of this church in the faith. Keep everyone serving YOU with joy and gladness

‭Ephesians 6:6-8 KJV‬
[6] not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; [7] with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: [8] knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

The things you pray for others also answer for you.

‭Galatians 4:19 KJV‬
[19] My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

‭Colossians 4:12 KJV‬
[12] Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Everybody has a part to play, and every part is vital, and every part entitles the player to rewards.

‭Matthew 6:18 KJV‬
[18] that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

It's time to receive grace for genuine engagement in seeking the interest of the Kingdom.
When in service, we are entitled to both wages and fringe benefits (rewards)

We have come to partner with Jesus to ensure new converts are established in the faith

John 10:27-29 KJV‬
[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

‭Hebrews 7:25 KJV‬
[25] Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Everybody has a place if he chooses to serve.
Serving GOD is a choice, and it is a choice of the wise.

Seeking first the Kingdom brings believers into favor with GOD, and nothing flies like favor.

Da‭niel 6:20-22 KJV‬
[20] And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? [21] Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. [22] My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

‭2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV‬
[9] For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

Make a choice to serve and serve from the heart.

GOD can't reward me, and the devil de-reward me. GOD cannot place me, and any devil displace me. GOD cannot honor me, and any witch dishonor me.

Get GOD on your side.

‭John 8:29 KJV‬
[29] And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

‭Malachi 3:17-18 KJV‬
[17] And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. [18] Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

It is impossible to serve GOD fruitfully without rewards to show.


Thank You Jesus.



Spiritual Stewardship, Benefits of Serving GOD, Covenant Hour of Prayer, Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo

Praise GOD

FATHER, thank YOU for the blessings of a brand new day

‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Thank YOU for sustenance, thank YOU, thank YOU and thank YOU in Jesus name

Spiritual Stewardship Pays The Most Part 5

We thrive in the Kingdom by engaging spiritual truths.
One of such truths is that service to GOD is profitable to man

‭2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV‬
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

It is a highly rewardable endeavor

‭Exodus 23:25-27 KJV‬
[25] And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. [26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. [27] I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

Today;

1. Praying for the diverse needs of members of the church

‭James 5:16 KJV‬
[16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

We are commanded to pray for one another. The Church of Christ is likened to a spiritual clinic, where people show up for answers to their predicament.
Not analyzing or gossiping about their challenges, but praying that GOD turn their challenges to testimonies

‭Job 42:10 KJV‬
[10] And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

‭Philippians 1:19 KJV‬
[19] For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

2. Praying for our spiritual leaders for fresh grace and unction.
One of the greatest gifts we can give our spiritual leaders is praying for them

‭2 Thessalonians 3:1 KJV‬
[1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

‭Ephesians 6:19 KJV‬
[19] and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Prayers are spiritual investment in the lives of our spiritual leaders.

Soul winning entitles believers to a good old age

‭Exodus 23:26 KJV‬
[26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

‭Psalm 92:13-15 KJV‬
[13] Those that be planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be fat and flourishing; [15] To shew that the LORD is upright: He is my rock, And there is no unrighteousness in him.

‭Acts 26:22 KJV‬
[22] Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

LORD, empower me with grace for fervency to maintain my spiritual stewardship in the name of Jesus.

Thank You Jesus

EreluRoz:

Give GOD praise, for the privilege of being before HIM, on a brand new day, for answers to prayers, thank YOU.

[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

FATHER, we are grateful for answers to prayers, access to YOUR Word, and YOUR blessings upon our lives in Jesus name.

Spiritual Stewardship Pays The Most

Mark 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach

‭Mark 10:28-30 KJV‬
[28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. [29] And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, [30] but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

Serving GOD pays the most and unmatchable. It includes winning souls, praying Kingdom advancement prayers, inviting people to church, praying for fresh revelation of the Word. Today;

Commitment to blessing others in the church family.

‭Galatians 6:10 KJV‬
[10] As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Everything we have is given to us by GOD to serve.
And every GOD given opportunity is a privilege to be a blessing.

‭Mark 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

To be with HIM, so as to receive from HIM, so that they can release to others

Engaging the blessings we receive from GOD to serve HIM and others

‭Genesis 12:2 KJV‬
[2] and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

1. Through transportation of members, to and from services, very necessary these times things are wonderful in the world

‭Isaiah 49:22 KJV‬
[22] Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

GOD is not looking for who to use, but who to bless

2. Through commitment to Kingdom care covenant

‭Galatians 6:2, 10 KJV‬
[2] Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
[10] As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

‭Acts 4:32, 34-35 KJV‬
[32] And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
[34] Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, [35] and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

You have clothes, shoes, food to eat, it's an opportunity

3. Through personal care of challenged families

‭Matthew 25:35-40 KJV‬
[35] for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. [37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? [39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? [40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

‭James 2:15-16 KJV‬
[15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, [16] and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

4. Commitment to Kingdom Advancement financial involvement

‭Matthew 24:14 KJV‬
[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

It involves building churches, printing tracts.

Speak to us by YOUR Word, and give us grace to be hearers and doers.
Thank YOU for the gift of life, and privilege to be before YOU today. Let none of us return the same way we have come in Jesus mighty name.

Spiritual Stewardship Pays The Most Part 3

For all of our stewardship in the Kingdom, none of us will miss our pay in the name of Jesus.

Kingdom Stewardship is an act of service to GOD. There are various forms, but basically fall in 3 categories;

1. Spiritual
2. Financial
3. In-service.

Of these 3 categories of stewardship, spiritual stewardship pays the most. Out of spiritual stewardship, there are different types:
1. Soul winning
2. Inviting people to church

Today; Engaging the Altar of Prayer.

‭Luke 18:1 KJV‬
[1] And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Praying for fresh revelation with conformation in signs and wonders

‭2 Thessalonians 3:1 KJV‬
[1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

Never forget that prayer is vital to the continuous flow of revelation, which gives birth to signs and wonders.

‭Acts 6:4, 7-8 KJV‬
[4] But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
[7] And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. [8] And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

Why is this so?

Increase of the Word empowers the church of Christ for supernatural growth

‭Matthew 24:28 KJV‬
[28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Like sugar to ants.
The Church of Christ is meant to be the solution center for the challenges in the world today.

Fresh pasture must be green for the sheep to lie down.

‭Psalm 23:2 KJV‬
[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

For the people to settle down, the Word must be fresh.
Fresh Word talks about proof producing Word, testimony producing Word.

By GOD'S Grace, receive grace to stand on the altar of prayer for fresh Word

Praying for signs and wonders is the will of GOD, not our ambition, and it guarantees answers to prayers.

From this season, receive speedy answers to our prayers in the name of Jesus

‭Acts 4:30-31 KJV‬
[30] by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. [31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of GOD with boldness.

Praying much more in the Holy Ghost, HE helps our infirmities in prayers.
As you pray for signs and wonders, you will not lack signs and wonders.

Note that those who pray for others are first partakers of what they pray for

‭2 Timothy 2:6 KJV‬
[6] The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

LORD, I receive grace to remain fervent on the altar of prayer, especially today, more than ever before in the name of Jesus



Thank You Jesus.

DelilahMakinde:
You mean decrease ?

Both of you are correct

‭Amos 3:3 KJV‬
[3] Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Food vendor and food consumer

Praise GOD

Appreciate GOD from the depth of you heart. Blessed be YOUR name. Thank GOD for answers to prayers and petitions. We do not take YOUR doings for granted.
LORD, send us light from heaven that will transform our lives in the precious name of Jesus.
Thank YOU for the privilege of being in YOUR presence. By YOUR Word let our lives be transformed in the precious name of Jesus.

Spiritual Stewardship Pays The Most- Part 2

It's important that we recognize from Scriptures that Jesus selected disciples for two things

‭Mark 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

1. Fellowship
2. Stewardship

‭John 15:16 KJV‬
[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

We are specifically told the dimension of stewardship

‭2 Corinthians 5:17-20 KJV‬
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Christ has given us fellowship, so we can be sent for stewardship;
Association with GOD to function for GOD.
This dimension of stewardship is referred to as spiritual stewardship

‭Galatians 6:7-8 KJV‬
[7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

The dimension of our investment determines the dimension of our returns

Nothing compares to spiritual stewardship. It answers on earth and in Heaven

‭Psalm 112:1-3 KJV‬
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. [2] His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed. [3] Wealth and riches shall be in his house: And his righteousness endureth for ever.

‭Colossians 3:2 KJV‬
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Let your heart be running after the eternal.

Various Dimensions of Spiritual Stewardship

1. Inviting People to Church

‭Luke 14:23 KJV‬
[23] And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

One may not be equipped yet to preach, but everyone is able to invite others to meet and fellowship with Christ.

‭Hebrews 12:22-24 KJV‬
[22] but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, [23] to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, [24] and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

‭John 4:29, 39 KJV‬
[29] Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
[39] And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

There are things people may not understand outside, but when they are inside the church, Christ takes the veil away.

Remember, in the growth of the church is the glory of the saints

‭Jeremiah 30:19 KJV‬
[19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

‭John 15:8 KJV‬
[8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Soul winning endeavors endears us to the glory of the FATHER

‭Proverbs 14:28 KJV‬
[28] In the multitude of people is the king's honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

‭1 Samuel 2:30 KJV‬
[30] Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Glory is the eradication of shame, Honor is esteem.

LORD, I receive grace to be more effective in compelling people to come to church to meet with Christ. Receive the free flow of that grace, to be more productive, resourceful in the name of Jesus Christ.

Praise GOD

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins
And accept You as my Lord and Saviour,
I believe you died for me
To make me a new man/woman.
Forgive me all my sins,
wash me with your blood,
And give me a new heart.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul.
Now I believe that I am born again,
And I am a child of GOD.
Amen!

You are Specially Invited to Our Turnaround Service for Everyone!
‭Ezekiel 37:6 KJV‬
[6] and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

‭1 Samuel 10:6 KJV‬
[6] and the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.


Give this great GOD thanks for a brand new working week, because everything is working for you

www.domimedia.org

‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him

Lord Jesus, I've come to hear You, speak to me in person in Jesus name.
We are here at Your feet, right into Your presence to hear from You, let each one encounter You in Jesus name.

What each one finds in the book is what defines one

‭Proverbs 24:13-14 KJV‬
[13] My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; And the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: [14] So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: When thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, And thy expectation shall not be cut off.

One can hardly stay long with what he is told, but not what he has found. People only stay long with what they have found.

‭Matthew 7:8 KJV‬
[8] for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Better situp and seek to find.

‭1 John 1:1 KJV‬
[1] That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

Then it becomes a capital asset.
We are busy asking, let's start seeking.
You can't find it and miss its impact.

‭Ezekiel 2:2 KJV‬
[2] And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

‭John 6:63 KJV‬
[63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

The Spirit of The Word quickens you.

Soul winning is a generational asset.

‭Psalm 112:1-2 KJV‬
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. [2] His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

‭John 15:16 KJV‬
[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

It qualifies as the highest calling of the believer. The Holy Ghost empowers for effectiveness. Every believer is ordained as a soul winner.
We are redeemed and ordained as a soul winner

‭2 Corinthians 5:19-20 KJV‬
[19] to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Continue to see soul winning as GOD'S spiritual stewardship

‭2 Peter 3:9 KJV‬
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

‭1 Timothy 2:4 KJV‬
[4] who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Spiritual stewardship pays the most in our Christian adventure

‭Matthew 6:33 KJV‬
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

‭John 10:16 KJV‬
[16] And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

‭Mark 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

‭Mark 10:28-30 KJV‬
[28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. [29] And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, [30] but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

It does not pay by engaging, it pays by results. At any point, it is a value adding endeavor

‭Psalm 102:13-15 KJV‬
[13] Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. [14] For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And favour the dust thereof. [15] So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.

Fearful favor is as a result of genuine pleasure


LORD, help me to find it to the point that I can handle it. I want to be insightfully involved in Jesus name.

Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Thank You Jesus, bless His name for answered prayers, glorify Him. Thank You for Your good hand upon my life. None like our GOD. In Jesus precious name we have given thanks

‭Isaiah 9:8 KJV‬
[8] The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
Jesus, send me Your supernatural turnaround Word in Jesus precious name.
We are here at YOUR feet, send us YOUR Word that will open a new chapter in our lives in Jesus name

No excuse against the truth flies with GOD

‭2 Corinthians 13:8 KJV‬
[8] For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

Your excuses are your cup of tea, and they are squeezing your life without knowing. Obedience may be costly, bur the end result is priceless

‭Zechariah 7:13 KJV‬
[13] Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

‭John 5:4 KJV‬
[4] For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

We don't beg for a turnaround, we obey for a turnaround in the Kingdom

‭Job 36:11 KJV‬
[11] If they obey and serve HIM, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

Our begging is proof that we are not ready to obey GOD

‭Acts 10:34 KJV‬
[34] Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

‭Luke 6:38 KJV‬
[38] give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Likewise if you won't repent, you can't be saved

‭Psalm 35:27 KJV‬
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Preach the Word. That's GOD righteous cause on the earth

‭John 18:37 KJV‬
[37] Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Favor with GOD is at a cost.
Listen to GOD first, before GOD can listen to you

‭Psalm 102:13-15 KJV‬
[13] Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. [14] For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And favour the dust thereof. [15] So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.

When you favor HIS cause, HIS good hand rests upon your life. Genuine passion for GOD and the affairs of HIS Kingdom secures fearful favor for those who favor HIS cause.
Favor is GOD'S agenda for scaling the utmost heights in life.
We can't sit to wait for favor, we entreat favor, by doing what HE says to do.

May each one work his way into GOD'S favor in Jesus name.

All we need to live a life of impact is obedience

‭Matthew 6:33 KJV‬
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

You are in for the best of time

GOD is not looking for who to use, but who to bless.
We do not beg for long life in the kingdom, we serve to enjoy long life

‭Psalm 91:14, 16 KJV‬
[14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
[16] With long life will I satisfy him, And shew him my salvation.

Jesus, help me to connect with the channel of fearful favor. Endue me with the Spirit of Obedience for steadfastness in stewardship. Help me to prove my pleasure in advancing Your kingdom.


Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

GOD deserves all the praise, all the glory. Let's thank GOD.

‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Thank YOU for a brand new day, for the gift of life in Jesus mighty name

We Do Not Beg For A Change of Story In The Kingdom

‭Psalm 35:27 KJV‬
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Change of Story In The Kingdom is not a product of chance, but a product of choice.
A choice of the covenant; to stand, live and operate by the covenant.

It puts every believer on an equal playing field

‭Romans 10:12 KJV‬
[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

‭James 1:22-25 KJV‬
[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

This is crucial, many stop at hearing only.

Serving GOD and the interests of HIS Kingdom is a vital requirement for accessing the Blessings. No substitute.

‭Job 36:11 KJV‬
[11] If they obey and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

There's always what man must do to make GOD to move.

1. We do not beg to be free from generational curses; we simply serve our way into freedom
The simplest way to escape generational captivity

‭Exodus 23:25-26 KJV‬
[25] And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. [26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

‭Numbers 23:8, 20 KJV‬
[8] How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
[20] Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

The simplest way to avert curses is to serve.


2. We do not beg to be fulfilled in life; we simply serve our way into fulfillment

Working and earning doesn't equal fulfilment.
The core essence of man's creation is service to the creator, and therein lies man's fulfilment

‭Mark 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

‭Mark 10:28-30 KJV‬
[28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. [29] And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, [30] but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

We are fulfilled in our service to GOD.

GOD is not looking for who to abase, but who to elevate. Service to GOD is the cheapest way to man's elevation.

‭Acts 26:22 KJV‬
[22] Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:


Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Thursday, August 22nd

Give GOD praise, celebrate HIS faithfulness and mighty acts.
LORD, speak to us today, give me an encounter.
FATHER, we are grateful, empower us, and let all the redeemed of the LORD say Amen.

We Do Not Beg For A Change of Story

Why, simply because we serve a covenant keeping GOD.

‭Psalm 89:34 KJV‬
[34] My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Every provision is available to whosoever aligns with the conditions attached. Those who meet the condition never miss the provision.
We do not beg, rather we serve our way.
Never forget that GOD is a responsible FATHER, who never needs reminder about HIS responsibilities.

We do not beg to be fruitful, we simply serve our way into fruitfulness. It is the heritage of GOD for all HIS children.

‭Isaiah 5:1 KJV‬
[1] Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

‭Deuteronomy 7:14 KJV‬
[14] Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

How do we access HIS fruitfulness?

‭Exodus 23:25-26 KJV‬
[25] And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. [26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Our FATHER is a babymaker, we HIS children can't be baby beggars

Faithfulness is required to obtain fruitfulness in service

‭Malachi 3:10-11 KJV‬
[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. [11] And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

Beggars don't get anything, compared to servants, there's no assurance of rewards in begging, but there is assurance of rewards in service.

‭Proverbs 20:4 KJV‬
[4] The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

We do not cry to be honored, we serve our way into honor

‭Matthew 24:45-47 KJV‬
[45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? [46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Service is GOD'S gateway to changing the story of men. Those who serve don't beg, those who beg are lazy.

‭John 12:26 KJV‬
[26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

‭Mark 10:44 KJV‬
[44] and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

GOD is not looking for who to humiliate, but who to honor.

‭1 Samuel 2:30 KJV‬
[30] Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

LORD, in the name of Jesus, I receive grace not to be an onlooker or beggar in the season of planting


Jesus is Lord

Praise GOD

Tuesday, 20th August

Give GOD thanks, appreciate HIM, honor HIM. We have come to YOU, we don't take YOUR Glory for granted. We can only pray, but we can't answer our prayers. What an awesome GOD. Give me an encounter today, and the light required for the day in Jesus precious name
We have come full of gratitude, for the privilege of being in YOUR presence, and for the testimonies. We have come to hear YOUR voice in Jesus mighty name.

We Do Not Beg For A Change of Story

We are not in a begging kingdom, but we are in a 'doers' kingdom

‭James 1:22-25 KJV‬
[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

GOD blesses as we do. The character of GOD is the character of covenant. HE is a covenant keeping GOD, not a Father Christmas GOD. For every provision, there is a condition. We obey our way through.

Obedience is the trademark of service
‭Romans 6:16 KJV‬
[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Serving GOD is simply trademarked by our obedience to GOD. Our service to GOD is what procures blessings from GOD.

1. We don't beg to walk in health, we serve to live a healthy life. Our health and vitality is in our stewardship.

‭John 15:1-2 KJV‬
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (Purge means prune)

Sickness can hinder the productivity of a believer, but GOD removes whatever it is that seeks to hinder our productivity

‭2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV‬
[20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

‭Proverbs 13:17 KJV‬
[17] A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: But a faithful ambassador is health.

Every opportunity to serve GOD is an opportunity for GOD to service us. When GOD is managing your health, there's security against sickness and diseases.

2. We don't cry to prosper, we serve our way into growing realms of prosperity

‭Malachi 3:17-18 KJV‬
[17] And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. [18] Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

As we are committed to serving GOD, HE is committed to decorating and blessing us

‭Malachi 4:1-2 KJV‬
[1] For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

‭Luke 22:35 KJV‬
[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

Everyone on GOD'S assignment is due for GOD'S securement.

Take Note: GOD is not looking for who to rob, but who to enrich. There is nothing in your hand GOD is eyeing, rather, GOD is looking to put something in your life

‭Job 36:11 KJV‬
[11] If they obey and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

Jesus, I receive grace to stay committed to serving, obeying and following after YOUR instructions in the name of Jesus.


Thank You Jesus

Rexymania:
Ameen. Make I go sleep

‭Matthew 13:25 KJV‬
[25] but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

LordBiden:
Pls and pls o nobody here should come and tell me that it is tinubus policies that is working o,because it was clearly stated on the article that prices are falling due to harvest.

‭Matthew 19:26 KJV‬
[26] But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Sirmwill:
If it is true

‭John 20:29 KJV‬
[29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Praise GOD

Tuesday, 20th August

Thank GOD for wonderful testimonies, LORD, speak to us by YOUR Word, and give us our daily bread. We are grateful for this day, for the gift of life. Send us your Word, change our story, and let YOUR name be glorified in Jesus name.

Let's never forget, we serve a story-changing GOD, HE will yet change your story again. Every form of barrenness shall be permanently terminated in Jesus name

‭1 Samuel 1:11, 19, 28 KJV‬
[11] And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
[19] And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
[28] therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

We serve a story-changing GOD. However, GOD does not come by begging. There is a Kingdom protocol to enjoy change of stories. HE does it through Kingdom service engagement.

Provisions of the Kingdom that Accrues To Us From Kingdom Service

1. Deliverance from satanic oppression

‭Luke 10:19 KJV‬
[19] Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Kingdom Service brings us to the unhurtable realm as we engage kingdom service as a lifestyle

‭Romans 16:20 KJV‬
[20] And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

‭Ecclesiastes 7:7 KJV‬
[7] Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

No more oppression in your life, health, family, children, business and career in Jesus name.

2. Breakthrough
We serve our way into breakthroughs

‭Luke 5:3-4, 6 KJV‬
[3] And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. [4] Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
[6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

While others are breaking down, we shall be breaking through in Jesus name.

GOD is not looking for who to stress, but who to make whole

‭2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV‬
[20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though GOD did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to GOD.

‭Acts 9:34 KJV‬
[34] And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

Receive grace from GOD to continue to serve HIM as a lifestyle, so as to receive the best from HIM


Thank You Jesus

The prices of perishable items have recorded a fall in some major towns in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

NAN check at Perishable Items Market, Damaturu in Yobe, revealed that the prices have dropped by about 50 per cent.

A big basket of tomatoes sold at N120,000 between April and May now cost N40,000, while a small basket previously sold at N75,000 is now going for N18,000.

A bag of pepper sold at N170,000 same period now cost N82,000, while a bag of pepper goes for N70,000 as against N75,000 sold in July.

Similarly, a bag of Okro which was sold at N50,000 within the period under review, now goes for N25,000.

However, prices of onions have increased as a bag of the item which cost between N28,000 and N30,000 three to four months ago, now rose to N50,000.

The market’s Chairman, Alhaji Muazu Abbas, attributed the drop to arrival of new items in the market.

“Prices of perishable items usually drop whenever harvests are made and new goods arrive in the market, but the prices rise when there is shortage of goods,” he said.

However, the price of yam has skyrocketed at Bayan Tasha Market in the metropolis.

NAN check revealed that two small tubers of yam sold at N1,500 in 2023, now cost N4,000, while three big tubers that went for N3,500 within the period, now go for N15,000.

When contacted, the Yam Sellers Leader in the market, Alhaji Habibu Mohammed, blamed the sharp rise on shortage of supply of the items to the market.

He also blamed the hike on an increase in the cost of transporting the items to the market from Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau states

On his part, Alhaji Usman Ngari, Chairman, All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Yobe Chapter, expressed concern over the high cost of establishing food crop storage facilities.

“Storage facilities preserve crops and increase profit, especially in cultivation of perishable items.

“Unfortunately, establishing such factories is capital intensive and most of us do not have that kind of money,” he said.

Ngari called on the government at all levels to support farmers with capital to acquire storage facilities to boost their productivity and income levels.

In Borno, the prices of perishable goods are the same as Yobe, but the traders said they are still looking forward to more fall in prices in a few months when farmers will start harvesting tomatoes and other perishables in the state.

“The supplies we are getting now are from Kaduna and Kano,” Isa Mohammed, a dealer in Maiduguri vegetable market said.

Mustapha Usman, a grain dealer said the prices of grains produced in Borno like local rice, beans, maize, and millet have continued to remain high and could only come down when harvest commenced in October.

Also in Adamawa, while there was a fall in prices of perishables due to harvest, that of grains have continued to remain high.

Alhaji Aliyu Mohammed, the Chairman of Adamawa Chapter of the Nigeria Small Scale Industrialists, noted that a bag of 100kg of maize that used to sell for N60,000 last year by this time is now N90,000.

“That of white bean that sold for N75,000 is now N160,000.”

“We just have to wait and what will happen when the harvest commences in a few weeks.” (NAN)

7. Limit alcohol
Alcohol increases your blood pressure. The extra calories in it can make you gain weight, too.

8. Don’t smoke
Smoking reduces blood flow to your kidneys. It damages kidney function in people with or without kidney disease.

9. Limit over-the-counter pain medication
In high doses, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, reduce the amount of blood flow to your kidneys, which can harm them.

Thank GOD for life-changing testimonies, appreciate HIM for answers to prayers.
FATHER, send us YOUR Word, help us to hear YOU.

FATHER, we commit ourselves to YOU, set us up for a blessing, and let YOUR name be glorified in Jesus name.

Serving GOD is Essentially For The Benefit of The Believer Pt 5

‭Psalm 35:27 KJV‬
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of HIS servant.

To serve; to work for someone, to be useful to someone. Serving GOD is essentially for us. GOD is all sufficient by HIMSELF. HE is not dependent on us. That's why serving HIM is for our own good.

‭Malachi 3:6 KJV‬
[6] For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Serving GOD is a choice of the wise

‭Joshua 24:15 KJV‬
[15] And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Because you want your life to be better

‭Matthew 4:19 KJV‬
[19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Serving GOD demands full allegiance

‭1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV‬
[58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord

Benefits To Consider in Serving GOD

1. Serving GOD guarantees our protection in this wicked world

‭Psalm 91:1-8 KJV‬
[1] He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold And see the reward of the wicked.

‭Mark 16:20 KJV‬
[20] And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Under the shadow of The Almighty, GOD'S presence is there

In HIS feathers are cushion for protection.

No man can protect himself, GOD is our protector because we don't even know our enemies.

‭Daniel 6:20-22 KJV‬
[20] And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? [21] Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. [22] My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

Every form of lion, GOD will shut their mouths by HIS Angel in the name of Jesus

‭Daniel 3:16-17, 19, 21, 26 KJV‬
[16] Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. [17] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
[19] Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
[21] Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
[26] Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

No good employer will want to do away with his faithful and productive employee

‭John 15:2 KJV‬
[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

‭Isaiah 38:1-2, 5 KJV‬
[1] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. [2] Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
[5] Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

2. Serving GOD guarantees supernatural change of level

‭Luke 19:13, 17, 19 KJV‬
[13] And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
[17] And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
[19] And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

GOD is placing men into positions of authority because of fruitfulness

‭Nehemiah 5:14 KJV‬
[14] Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.


Note: Soul winning brings believers into realms of fearful favor with GOD; fearful favor is what we call fortune

‭Matthew 6:33 KJV‬
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Grace for consistency in my stewardship, I receive it in Jesus name.
I will not give up because my reward is coming in Jesus name!

‭Proverbs 4:18 KJV‬
[18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

‭2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV‬
[18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Give GOD thanks for answered prayers, amazing testimonies. Thank You Jesus, there is none like You, no comparison. Thank You for Your grace upon our lives that has kept us in the faith. Take all the praise as You speak to us in Jesus name.

We serve a covenant keeping GOD, not a Father Christmas GOD. HIS covenant is binding on HIM.

‭Psalm 89:34 KJV‬
[34] My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

‭Matthew 20:3-4, 7 KJV‬
[3] And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, [4] and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
[7] They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

‭James 1:22-25 KJV‬
[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

The blessings come from doing what the Word says. Serving GOD is a vital requirement for accessing the blessings of redemption.

‭Job 36:11 KJV‬
[11] If they obey and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

Your days are guaranteed, and your years are secured.

‭Psalm 34:10 KJV‬
[10] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: But they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Serve HIS purpose, and be interested in HIS interest on earth

The Bible is a change of story book, for those who care to do what the Word says. It is not a storybook.

‭Psalm 35:27 KJV‬
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of HIS servant

Staying committed to HIS (GOD'S) purpose on earth- to see people saved.

Do what changes people's story, do not beg for a change of story.
In the Kingdom, we do not beg to be blessed, we serve to be blessed.

‭Exodus 23:25-26 KJV‬
[25] And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. [26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

In an organization, you serve to get paid, likewise, you don't beg to withdraw from a bank if you have money in your account.

‭Philippians 4:14-19 KJV‬
[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. [15] Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. [16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. [17] Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. [18] But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. [19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Every investment is an abounding fruit to your account

‭John 3:12 KJV‬
[12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

You don't beg to be promoted, you serve to be promoted

‭Luke 19:17-19 KJV‬
[17] And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. [18] And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. [19] And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

From one pound to 10 cities, that's where dramatic promotions are.

‭Psalm 75:6-7 KJV‬
[6] For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the south. [7] But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Nobody can influence HIS agenda
Only what emanates from the heart counts with GOD, not eyeservice

‭Ephesians 6:6-8 KJV‬
[6] not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; [7] with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: [8] knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

‭Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV‬
[9] The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? [10] I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Followership is 99.9% from the heart

‭Proverbs 4:23 KJV‬
[23] Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

‭Psalm 27:8 KJV‬
[8] When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

GOD is not looking for who to enslave, but who to enthrone. It takes results to get rewarded.

This is Heaven's agenda unveiled.


Thank You Jesus for light.

Serving GOD is Essentially For The Benefit of The Believer

https://www.nairaland.com/8182626/serving-god-essentially-benefit-believer#131590313

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE GOD

Genesis 1:1-3 (NIV)
"In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of GOD was hovering over the waters. And GOD said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of the five main oceans. We know that it covers about 32% of the earth’s surface. There are about 25,000 islands located inside of it, and it has the largest array of plants and animals than any other ocean in the world. There are thousands of things we do know about the Pacific, but there are still numerous mysteries that haunt the massive area of water, from unknown animals and sounds to strange disappearances. Here are ten unsolved mysteries of the Pacific Ocean.

10. Underwater Volcanoes
One of the world’s largest volcanoes lies deep in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Havre volcano lies 3,000 feet (914 meters) below the sea’s surface, producing the largest deep-water eruption ever recorded. In 2012, lava rose from 14 separate vents and poured out for about 90 days. Even though the size of the eruption was massive, it almost went unnoticed. As a commercial airplane traveled over the ocean, a passenger spotted something odd in the water. The passenger contacted a geologist about what she saw, and it prompted a huge search in the ocean that led to the discovery of the volcanic eruption.
Surprisingly, about 70% of volcanic eruptions occur beneath the water, but scientists still have difficulty understanding these phenomena. These volcanic eruptions create different types of lava because pressure and the interaction between water and cooling magma aren’t the same as when a volcano erupts on the land. Scientists are still working to determine how these interactions form the different types of lava of an underwater eruption. The underwater eruptions tend to go unnoticed and can be very deep in the ocean, making it challenging for scientists to study them.[1]


9. Mariana Trench
The deepest oceanic trench on Earth is located in the western Pacific Ocean. The Mariana Trench is about 1,580 miles )2,542 kilometers) in length and is crescent-shaped. The deepest point of the trench is known as the Challenger Deep and sits at the southern end of the trench, about 36,089 feet (11,000 meters) deep. Just to show the magnitude of its depth, the Mariana Trench is also deeper than Mount Everest is tall.
The Mariana Trench is still very much a mystery because of the difficulty of reaching such depths. This is one of the most remote and unreachable places on Earth, with only a handful of attempts to reach the bottom to study the maritime environment. Most recently, the submersible Deepsea Challenger was piloted by filmmaker James Cameron and reached a record depth of 35,754 feet (10,898 meters). Even with these challenges, scientists continue to explore the mysteries hiding in the depths of the Mariana Trench.[2]


8. Deep-Sea Monsters
Several deep-sea giants have been discovered in the ocean, but scientists believe there are still many deep-sea monsters lurking in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. As you dive deeper into the ocean, the pressure rises immensely, lowering the temperature to near freezing. This creates a hostile environment that houses animals we can only imagine. There are several rumors of giant squids, monster whales, and other unknown large sea animals lurking beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
In January and February of 2024, a Pacific Ocean expedition off the coast of Chile uncovered more than 100 unknown marine species. The new species discovered included sea urchins, mollusks, and lobsters. Scientists say that fully identifying the species found could take several years. Still, these expeditions are important to help advance the knowledge of life that is on Earth. Even though this expedition didn’t reveal any new giant monsters, it doesn’t mean the next one won’t.[3]


7. Ghost Ships
A ghost ship is a vessel with no crew aboard found drifting in the ocean. Some stories of ghost ships are just eerie tales with no supporting facts, but real ghost ships have been discovered in the Pacific Ocean. In 1955, all 25 passengers aboard the American merchant ship MV Joyita mysteriously vanished. The ship was later found adrift in poor condition with no one aboard. Several theories for the passenger’s disappearances have been talked about, including insurance fraud, a Japanese attack, and even a mutiny, but their disappearance is still a mystery.
In 2021, an underwater volcano raised two dozen ghost ships from the Pacific Ocean near Tokyo. The 24 ships were sunk by U.S. forces in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. The ships were captured by the U.S. Navy and purposefully sunk parallel to the shoreline to form a breakwater for protection. There are likely more ghost ships waiting to find their way to the top of the ocean, which will create more mysteries that need to be solved.[4]


6. Yonaguni Monument
The Yonaguni Monument is a fascinating underwater structure located off the coast of Yonaguni Island, Japan, that has captured the attention of researchers and adventurers alike. Discovered in 1986 by a diver, this submerged formation consists of massive flat terraces, sharp right angles, and pillars, resembling a man-made structure. However, its origins remain a mystery.
Some geologists argue that the monument is a natural formation resulting from tectonic activity and erosion over thousands of years. Others believe it could be the remains of an ancient civilization, possibly submerged due to rising sea levels around the last Ice Age, over 10,000 years ago. Supporters of the artificial theory point to the structure’s straight edges and apparent carvings as evidence of human craftsmanship.
Regardless of its origin, the Yonaguni Monument continues to intrigue explorers and researchers. It has inspired numerous theories and debates about whether it represents a lost chapter of human history, perhaps even an ancient Pacific civilization similar to Atlantis. The monument’s enigma, submerged beneath the ocean, remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the Pacific Ocean.[5]


5. Mysterious Sounds
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA, has been investigating mysterious sounds from the Pacific Ocean for years. The Bloop, the Upsweep, and the Slow Down are a few of these puzzling sounds that have been recorded. The NOAA uses hydrophones positioned in various places of the ocean to collect digital records of sounds in the ocean.
The Bloop was an ultra-low frequency detected by the NOAA in 1997. The mysterious underwater sound was thought to either be from an ice quake or an unknown living creature. The Upsweep was discovered in 1991 by NOAA after detecting a train of narrowband upsweeping sounds. It can still be heard during the spring and fall, but the origin is still a mystery. These are just a few of the spooky sounds from underwater that are unknown to scientists.[6]


4. Vanished Islands
We’ve all heard of the tale of Atlantis, but there are other islands that have mysteriously vanished in the Pacific Ocean. The island of Teonimanu, part of the Solomon Islands, disappeared hundreds of years ago after rapidly sinking. Most likely, the island was destroyed after being affected by a large underwater volcano. It triggered a massive landslide, causing part of the island to shift underwater. Then, large tsunami waves trampled the sinking island.
In 1774, Captain James Cook charted the island of Sandy, and it was recorded in Cook’s Chart of Discoveries Made in the South Pacific Ocean. The island was mentioned again in 1876 after the ship Velocity reported Sandy Island as well, and it was then reported on several maps. The island was even spotted on Google Maps until just recently.
In 2012, Australian scientists failed to locate Sandy Island and recorded ocean depths of no less than 4,300 feet (1,310 meters), where it should have been. Was the island ever there? Did it mysteriously vanish? No one actually knows the truth about Sandy Island, making it one of the biggest mysteries of the Pacific Ocean.[7]


3. Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a large patch of marine debris floating in the Pacific Ocean. Its name would lead you to think that it was a large island full of Coke bottles, burger wrappers, and other garbage floating together, but it is actually mostly made up of tiny bits of plastic called microplastics. These microplastics aren’t always visible to the naked eye, and they tend to make the water look soupy. They are formed from plastic bottles and other plastics that start breaking down but never actually dissolve. About 70% of the garbage ends up underwater at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Scientists don’t know how much debris makes up the area because it is too large to net and work around. Since the area of marine debris is far from all nations, nobody wants to spend money to help clean it up. The biggest mystery dealing with the garbage patch is how it will affect the ocean and marine life. We know the floating island of garbage isn’t good for the ocean, but scientists are still determining just how bad the environmental implications could be in the future.[8]


2. Disappearances
The Pacific Ocean is home to several mysterious disappearances, but the most well-known is Amelia Earhart’s plane crash. The plane wreckage was never located, but it is believed that she crashed over the Pacific after running out of fuel. Carlo Giuseppe Bertero, an Italian physicist, mysteriously disappeared on a voyage from Tahiti to Chile. Mildred Doran and William Portwood Erwin were pilots who disappeared two days apart during the famous Dole Air Race. Other notable people who mysteriously vanished in the Pacific include Charles Ulm, Richard Halliburton, Paul Mooney, Theodore Kara, and Gerry Roufs.
The Pacific Ocean is also home to the Devil’s Sea, where many planes and ships have mysteriously vanished. The location of the Devil’s Sea is off the coast of Japan. Some explanations from scientists for the strange disappearances in the area include underwater volcanoes, methane hydrates, hot and cold currents causing turbulence, and seismic activity. Still, many of the incidents in the area remain a mystery.[9]


1. Lost Continent of Mu
Some people believe the long-lost continent of Mu, also known as Lemuria, once existed in the Pacific Ocean between 10,000 and 50,000 years ago. They think that more than 60 million people called Mu home, and those people belonged to a civilization known as Naacal. Mu was first mentioned in the works of British-American writer Augustus Le Plongeon. He believed that Egypt and Mesoamerica were created by refugees from Mu.
The lost island of Mu was then later mentioned by James Churchward in many of his writings. He believed the continent was positioned somewhere between Easter Island and Marianas from east to west, and it was somewhere between Hawaii and Mangaia from north to south. He claimed that a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused the continent to be destroyed. Geologists do not believe in the myth of Mu because they think it is impossible for a continent to be destroyed in that short period.[10]

Serving GOD is Essentially For The Benefit of The Believer

Serving GOD is not to GOD'S benefit

‭Exodus 3:14 KJV‬
[14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

‭Malachi 3:6 KJV‬
[6] For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

There's nothing that we do, or not do, that affects GOD

‭Psalm 35:27 KJV‬
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

The pleasure is GOD'S, while the prosperity is ours. Serving GOD is a choice that we make, not a gift or calling.
And serving GOD is for our benefit

‭1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV‬
[58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Benefits Reserved For Us

Going after souls is our capital proof of love for GOD.
When we love GOD and what HE loves, then we're entitled to pacesetting order of rewards.

1. Lovers of GOD are entitled to uncommon blessings from GOD

‭2 Corinthians 8:8 KJV‬
[8] I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

‭John 21:15-17 KJV‬
[15] So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. [16] He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. [17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

2. Serving GOD puts believers in command of the supernatural.
Servants of GOD are never stranded

‭Mark 16:20 KJV‬
[20] And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

‭Acts 16:25-26 KJV‬
[25] And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. [26] And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

You'll never be stranded again in the name of Jesus

3. Soul winning secures enthronement enthronement of the believer

‭Proverbs 11:30 KJV‬
[30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.

LORD, grant us grace for sustainable stewardship in the name of Jesus.

Serving GOD is Essentially For The Benefit of The Believer Pt3

Serving GOD is Essentially For My Own Benefit

Even though serving GOD has several benefits, but don't serve GOD mainly for the rewards. The benefits should not be the main reason we are serving HIM.

Why should we?

We should serve GOD because of who HE is, and because HE deserves it.

I'm serving GOD, not just because of benefits, but because of who HE is, and because HE deserves it.

Serving GOD goes beyond mere actions, but actually a heart attitude and way of life.
No one ever serves GOD in vain.

Benefits of Serving GOD

1. Express answers to prayers

‭John 15:16 KJV‬
[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

One of the keys to answered prayers is Kingdom Advancement Endeavors

‭Acts 13:11 KJV‬
[11] And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

‭Acts 3:7 KJV‬
[7] And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

2. Serving GOD turns shame/ reproach to glory

‭Galatians 6:7 KJV‬
[7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

‭Proverbs 11:30 KJV‬
[30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.

‭Proverbs 3:35 KJV‬
[35] The wise shall inherit glory: But shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Turning many to righteousness is the most profitable stewardship in the Kingdom



Thank You Jesus.

‭Genesis 34:25-26 KJV‬
[25] And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. [26] And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

Praise GOD

Let us appreciate HIS holy name for the privilege and blessing to be in HIS presence.

We are full of gratitude for all and our transformation in Jesus name

Serving GOD Is Essentially For The Benefit of The Believer- Pt2

The highest calling of man is the calling to serve. That's why the greatest blessing of man is in service.
Service has to do with obedience to divine commandments

‭Romans 6:16 KJV‬
[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

The trademark of a servant/service is obedience, but the response to service is blessing.

‭Job 36:11 KJV‬
[11] If they obey and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

‭Deuteronomy 28:1-2 KJV‬
[1] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: [2] and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

The principal beneficiary of service is man, not GOD.
No man's service adds to GOD, but to himself. We are the beneficiary of our commitment to serving GOD.

Every commandment of GOD is to the profit of man

‭2 Timothy 3:16 KJV‬
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

Blessings That Come As We Serve

Serving GOD turns our reproach to honor; our mockery is exchanged for glory

‭Proverbs 14:28 KJV‬
[28] In the multitude of people is the king's honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

‭1 Samuel 2:30 KJV‬
[30] Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

‭Acts 10:34 KJV‬
[34] Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

But GOD is a respecter of service, as shown in the case of Abel, whose offering he respected.

GOD does not honor us for our looks, position, but for our service.

‭Mark 8:38 KJV‬
[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

‭Malachi 3:17-18 KJV‬
[17] And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. [18] Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Serving GOD guarantees open rewards; GOD gives us loud blessings, speaking blessings, open blessings

‭Luke 22:35 KJV‬
[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

Soul-winning is the most rewarding of all opportunities in the Kingdom. .

LORD, I receive grace to keep serving consistently, committedly in the name of Jesus.


Thank You Jesus
