TOPIC: Social Wealth (1)

Matthew 4:19-20 ‬
[19] Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” [20] They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

*Message*

You should strategically acquire social prosperity - which has to do with being wealthy or prosperous in and with your relationships with people. It takes a great deal of wisdom to build strategic friendships that can always be utilized for your progress in matters of destiny.

One of the advantages of having the right set of people in your life (even if they are just less than 5) is that you will barely be stranded where and when it matters. Even when a person doesn't have the required material resources at any point, the right relationships are great assets that can always be engaged for the actualization of your goals per time.

Therefore, anyone who doesn't want to struggle endlessly in life should be rich as touching their relationship with destiny helpers. If you don't want to struggle with what God wants you to do, then you should maximize His directions and wisdom to have the right type of people around you.

Yes, as Spirit-led Christians, it is easy to be led by the LORD into covenant and life-transforming relationships with people you might not even expect to have the fortitude to play a role in your destiny actualization. The Holy Spirit will help prevent entering a relationship with the wrong set of people who would rather get you ruined.

*Prayers*
I'm led by the Spirit into the right relationships and friendships beneficial to my destiny.

TOPIC: Being Prosperous In Health

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." III John 1:2 NKJV

*Message*

No matter how rich you are materially, or how talented you are, if your body breaks down, you are suffering from a kind of poverty at that particular time. Hence, you must be wealthy in your physical body and give great priority to your physical well-being.

III John 1:2 made us realize the truth that prosperity is not total if good health is absent - "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." III John 1:2

You thus must live a lifestyle that helps you remain healthy and mentally sound. Try to engage in physical activities daily, particularly exercising. It does more than improve your physical health. It releases endorphins that boost your mood and reduce stress. You should also give priority to having good rest and sleep.

Additionally, medical experts inform that too many sugary and fatty foods can contribute to weight gain and poor mental health. Hence, you should try to ensure fruits and vegetables are making their way to your plate at each meal, as good food can help boost your immunity - a strong immune system offers protection from seasonal illnesses and other health conditions.

As a Christian, you can easily pick up wisdom from the Holy Spirit that will help you live a quality and healthier lifestyle.

*Prayers*
My body is God's temple and is thus healthy at all times.

TOPIC: At The Zenith Of Our Priority

II Peter 3:18 ‬
but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

*Message*

Man (both male and female) is meant to keep journeying deeper and deeper into God and keep discovering new things about the Divine. And this should go beyond this plane of existence - it is an eternal adventure. Even when we get to heaven, everything we do (praising God with songs, reigning over cities He allocates to us, etc) will all be utilized and synergized towards knowing Him more and more.

*So, at the zenith of our priority should be to keep growing in the knowledge of God. But because as humans, we are prone to losing focus from important things like this, whereby we now start giving priority to other things of mere temporal significance, it is wisdom to build structures that help us encounter the Holy Ghost again and again.*

Indeed, the Holy Ghost is eager to take us to deeper realms of knowledge inside of God. One integral way to measure the extent of your knowledge of God is that you now start building personalized monuments as peculiar to your own unique walk with God.

For instance, you start giving God personalized names according to what He has proven Himself to you. You start composing songs of worship based on what He has revealed of Himself to you, and you use these songs in your secret place to enhance your bond with Him.

This is a superb method to remain standing strongly in God irrespective of the tribulations and challenges that will be unleashed to shake the faith of many in these last days.

Hebrews 11:12 ‬
[12] Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

*Message*

The legacies of the altar Abraham sacrificially erected at Mount Moriah will speak for many generations.

About a thousand years later, as recorded in 2 Samuel chapter 24, this was the same location King David purchased the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite to build an altar to the Lord so that a “plague may be held back from the people”.

Following the death of King David, his son King Solomon built a superb temple at the same place, that attracted the manifest presence of God in no small measure in a tangible form (2 Chronicles 5). The temple stood gloriously for over four hundred years until it was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar’s armies.

Some 70 years later, the Jewish temple was again rebuilt in the same location by the freed captives who returned to Jerusalem. For a good while, it ensured the remembrance of the God of Abraham in the heart of the Jewish people.

When Jesus was about His ministry on earth, He often visited the temple for spiritual activities, and it was this temple that He cleansed (John 2:15). Indeed, the legacies of the spiritual altar erected by Father Abraham on Mount Moriah represent a pleasant blessing to his descendants.

*As a believer today, yield yourself to the LORD sacrificially so your descendants can benefit greatly from the spiritual monuments that emanate from your unique walk with God.*

Genesis 22:14 ‬
[14] And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

*Message*

Father Abraham's faithful walk with God saw him erecting altars that would eventually become a force that pulled his descendants to find God and align with destiny.

*There are spiritual practices you should so much make a part of you that would be imitated by the children coming out of your loins, which they too can hand over to their own children. These spiritual practices will represent a spiritual altar to your children, reminding them to call upon the Name of the LORD like you do to get results.*

In the twenty-second chapter of the book of Genesis, God instructed Abraham to “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you” (vs 2). The place God led Abraham was Mount Moriah, where he erected the most sacrificial altar in his faith journey - for he gave all to God at Mount Moriah.

God intervened when he was about to offer Isaac by providing a ram instead, and the man of faith called the place “The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided’” (Genesis 22:14).

As a reward for Abraham’s obedience on Mount Moriah, the LORD promised him that his “descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed because you have obeyed me” (vv. 17, 18).

TOPIC: Abraham's Four Altars (5)

Genesis 22:9-10 ‬
[9] Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. [10] And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

*Message*

Abraham's fourth altar is a very dynamic one. Many years later, in Genesis 22:9-14, the man of faith will build an altar on Mount Moriah to offer his only beloved son to God. In the case of this particular altar, Abraham is going to be vehemently stretched, as the son he loves dearly was to be an offering on the altar.

The first three altars he built were erected on his own accord, but this fourth altar was a response to an instruction given by God. Such altars are usually very sacrificial and stretching. But, by faith, Abraham obeys God’s command to offer up his son of promise, Isaac.

“Abraham considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back” (Heb 11:19).

Abraham’s faith was outstandingly tested and rewarded. This altar was constructed as an altar of sacrifice but became an altar of provision. As a believer, for whatever claims you make unto God, expect a sacrificial test to prove your claims. You must always rely on the Lord for the fortitude to keep erecting altars of sacrificial obedience.

*When God placed a demand for Isaac, God wasn't really asking for Isaac but Abraham’s heart. Abraham was the one on the altar, not Isaac. As a Christian today, God wants you to keep yielding yourself as a living sacrifice on His altar where you are wholly His and His alone.*

Romans 12:1 - “I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship” (Rom 12:1).

TOPIC: Abraham's Four Altars (4)

Genesis 13:18‬
[18] Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the Lord.

*Message*

In Genesis 13, some years after the incidents of Genesis 12, we could see that the LORD has blessed Abraham extraordinarily with abundant flocks, herds, and people, alongside Lot whom he attached to himself. It becomes obvious that the space can't contain Abraham's prosperity and that of Lot again, and a separation is imminent.

Now, Abraham being the elder has every right to choose the best parts of the land and direct Lot to anywhere he pleases. Nevertheless, Abraham graciously allowed Lot to make the first choice of the land. This revealed the truth that his spiritual altars had been schooling him in the self-centered lifestyle of God, sharpening him into a pleasant character.

*You see, you shouldn't be a believer with a fireful prayer altar but ugly characters. Your spiritual altars and practices should have pleasant effects on your personality and you should diffuse undeniable sweetness. As a believer, your spiritual altars and practices should school you in the way of the diffusion of the fruits of the Spirit.*

After his separation from Lot, God's word of assurances came to Abraham again, assuring him that all the land within his vision would be for him and his descendants. Abraham then erected his third altar (Gen 13:18) to soak into the peace the presence of God's word brings. As a Christian, build spiritual structures that help you enjoy the peace of the presence of God's word.

*Prayers*

Father, in the name of Jesus, open my eyes to see what needs to be separated from me in order to receive a glorious visitation from You.

Genesis 13:34

“And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord”


*Message*

After his second altar (an altar of prayer) in Genesis 12:8, Abraham left for Egypt to escape a famine. This shows the imperfect tendencies of even the seemingly best among us. The altar of prayer, which has become a portal of advantage, should have been maximized by the man of faith for divine guidance and prosperity.

Rather, in Egypt, the man of faith started strategizing with his head and would have entered deep troubles if not for the Lord's mercies. There, he made a selfish proposition to Sarah his wife, and would have put her in danger (vv. 11-13).

It's not enough to erect spiritual altars. Altars of prayers are meant to be maximized for divine guidance, amongst others. Abraham’s trip to Egypt, which revealed a little wavering of his trust in God, led to falsehoods and failure.

God however intervened and delivered the couple from Egypt, and this happened next - “And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord” (Gen 13:34).

So, the man of faith retraced his steps to Bethel, where he had built his first altar to the Lord. This is one of the beautiful things about having a structure of spiritual practices erected in spirit and in truth - in times of weariness and misalignment, they will always be helpful in getting you back in shape. Every believer, like Abraham, must erect an altar of prayer in their faith journey.

*Prayers*
Help me Lord to remain connected to Your realm, and to keep excavating heavenly resources to impact a fallen world, in the Name of Jesus.

Genesis 12:8‬
[8] And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.

*Message*

Having experienced the sweetness attached to the first altar he erected unto the LORD, Abraham didn't waste much time before building the second altar in Genesis 12:8-13 as he progressed in his journey.

His tent was pitched between Bethel and Ai. Bethel means "house of God", while Ai is "heap of ruins". Obviously, Father Abraham had embraced the sacrificial life of pilgrimage and was bent on holding on to the promise of God at all costs.

“For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God” (Heb 11:10).

*With his tent pitched between the "house of God" and "heap of ruins", Abraham was definitely postured to keep excavating heavenly resources to impact a fallen world. But he knew he must create an altar that represents a system that keeps him in sync with heaven. His second altar was for a time of prayer – “He called upon the name of the Lord” (v. cool.*

As believers, we are also pilgrims whose tents are pitched between the "house of God" (heaven) and the "heap of ruins" (the fallen world). We should build spiritual structures that help keep us in the realm of God, praying always in spirit and in truth.

‭Genesis 12:7

[7] Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

*Message*

Like Father Abraham, every believer must yield totally to God in a walk of faith filled with pleasant adventures that abound into eternity. God has called Abraham out of the civilization of the world, attaching pleasant promises (though Abraham wasn't initially sure if this gamble would be worth it). He yielded, however, and because of this:

“Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your offspring I will give this land.’ So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him” (Gen 12:7).

This encounter represents a very much-needed boost to his growing faith as his fears are relieved. The promise was renewed and Abraham was reassured. In response to this, Abraham erected his first recorded altar as an act of praise.

As Christians today, we should keep erecting altars of praise in our faith walk with God too, based on the truth of who He is as revealed through His word. Scripture informs that through Jesus Christ, "let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God” (Heb 13:15).

Genesis 25:5
"Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac."

*Message*

Abraham apprehended the spiritual blessing of faith, and he was able to pass it on to his son Isaac, who also passed it to Jacob. In Genesis chapter 25, verses 5 and 6, it was made known that Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and then sent them away from Isaac the son of Promise. Then:

"Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac."

*He passed a spiritual inheritance to Isaac which set him apart from that time onwards. Isaac inherited the divine promise and became an unquenchable force via a spiritual edge. His spiritual inheritance not only made him a strong prince in the realm of the spirit, but its essence also spilled into the physical realm where he became a mighty principality dreaded by established nations.*

Eventually, he too would pass the spiritual baton to Jacob (Genesis 27) who became the father of Israel, God's chosen people. But it all started from Father Abraham who apprehended some spiritual realities in God and was able to transfer them to the children of his loins as pleasant inheritances.

The truth of God's word is a core spiritual inheritance that should be passed on to the next generation, even as they also pass it on to the next generation. You will be genuinely accomplished legacy-wise if, at least, the next two generations after yours can benefit greatly from the peculiar truth of God's word you could apprehend and exhibit.

*God is interested in generations, always eager to see the baton of truth move from one generation to another, and then to another. See our today's focus scripture - from Paul to Timothy, to another generation.*

When a good person according to biblical standards leaves material inheritances their grandchildren can benefit greatly from, life becomes easier for those fortunate ones when they eventually arrive on the scene, and they won't have to struggle like many others. In the same vein, when you apprehend fresh scriptural truths and realities that can be passed down to the third generation after yours, you make their spiritual experience richer and more fruitful.

*Message*

We've dealt extensively with the truth that a good person leaves an inheritance that can be enjoyed by even their grandchildren. However, it is important to note that spiritual inheritances are much more precious than material ones.

Lois might not be known as a millionaire, but she passed a spiritual inheritance of faith in Christ Jesus to her own daughter Eunice, who then passed it on to Timothy. By leaving an inheritance of faith in Jesus that was heavily beneficial to her grandson, Lois earned heaven's attestation as a good and successful woman. Remember, Timothy would become a young Bishop in Ephesus, a true God's general.

*If the only inheritance you have to pass down to your grandchildren is constrained to material possessions, you won't tick all the boxes that define a good person according to biblical standards. More importantly, you must ensure you pass down a spiritual inheritance of faith in Christ Jesus to your grandchildren. They must be able to reap bountiful benefits based on your own walk with God.*

*Once you are able to banish self-centeredness powered by short-sightedness, you will launch yourself into a realm of sacrificial investments prepared only for your children and their own children.*

Proverbs 13:22
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.”

*Message*

The literal context communicated in Proverbs 13:22 is material wealth. In other words, one of the various ways to identify a truly successful person is how they coordinate themselves in such a way that their grandchildren can benefit from their material prosperity.

*If your grandchildren can find leverage in the material investments you put in place (whether it's when you are dead or right before your own eyes), Proverbs 13:22 declares you a good person. It's quite wonderful if your grandchildren can take advantage of the material investments you skillfully planted for them to acquire an edge in life - they won't have to struggle like many others, and they will be grateful they came from your loins.*

The late Myles Munroe said he took this scripture very personal, so much so that even while his own children were still kids, he already purchased some properties for his grandchildren. While he didn't live to see his grandkids, they will never forget him for making life easier for them.

*Prayers*
Help me Lord Jesus to take the necessary sacrifices today that will be beneficial to those coming after me tomorrow.

Proverbs 13:22
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.”

*Message*

Every of God's actions usually has eternal implications. Meaning, GOD is a visionary God and not myopic. He is not limited to the now, but always works with the future and eternity at heart (which is one reason He keeps outsmarting the devil who is myopic and always concerned about the immediate now).

*"For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done....Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it" Isaiah 46:9-11)*

As sons and daughters of God, we shouldn't be myopic, but visionary. We shouldn't do things without considering their futuristic implications, and most importantly, their eternal implications.

This should help us avoid doing things with immediate satisfaction but futuristic negative consequences. This should empower us to plan ahead. And as you see from our focus scripture, you should begin to coordinate your actions today in a way your grandchildren can benefit greatly from tomorrow.

Proverbs 13:22
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.”

*Message*

We started discussing the importance of not being myopic alongside an obsession with immediate gratification, but the necessity of being long-term futuristic conscious, thinking generationally at all times. This is significant because as you begin to walk closely with God, one of His immediate attributes that you will notice is His visionary attribute.

One of the verses of scripture that opened us up to the visionary long-term nature of God is Revelation 13:8 - where we are informed of the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.

*It means, even before God started the project of the creation of the universe, God had seen the very far future and knew mankind has a tendency to fall. He didn't just fold His arms, but started planning ahead for a long-term futuristic project - the lamb was offered many years before Jesus would eventually be hung on the tree.*

Every of God's actions usually has eternal implications. As God's child, you will become a wise son/daughter if you intentionally coordinate your actions towards positive eternal implications.

Proverbs 13:22
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.”

*Message*

A simple explanation of Proverbs 13:22 (“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.”) is that you are wealthy if your grandchildren can benefit from what you are doing. Hence, the first thing we should talk about is the necessity of being long-term futuristic conscious.

*You see, as believers operating in the realm of the kingdom of God, we must think generationally at all times. If you are a spiritual person with an excellent spirit who is well versed in the things of God, you will learn how to think generational and not be myopic with immediate gratification.*

Being obsessed with immediate gratification (particularly at the expense of long-term benefits) is gross and bad. It drips of selfishness and self-centeredness (which God doesn't like). You must not live for yourself alone but be willing to make necessary sacrifices that will be beneficial to those coming after you.

*Message*

You should know now that you become greatly valuable to God's agenda when you coordinate your natural talents toward winning more souls to JESUS. And this can be achieved easily when the utilization of your natural talents places you in a realm of influence over some people in your space.

*Hence, you should be committed to sharpening your natural talents until you arrive at the stage where you are so valuable and can't be ignored. God has equipped you for greatness while you were in your mother's womb by embedding natural talents in you for your prosperity in the world, irrespective of where you will find yourself. However, you must sharpen yourself to be so good at what you do.*

As believers, we have an easy advantage in this light. As your spirit is dedicated to following the Holy Ghost, you see that you keep making yourself valuable and loaded in important facets, and you have what it takes to bring solutions to the world via your natural talents.

Yesterday, we started talking about how the utilization of your natural talents can attract social prosperity/wealth, which has to do with being wealthy or prosperous in and with your relationships with people, where quality people come into your life to become great assets that can always be engaged for the flourishing of God's kingdom from your end.

*Now, you should know that your natural talents can also be used by God to empower you to be prosperous as far as influence is concerned. In other words, you are prosperous in your capacity to bring change to the world and impact the lives of others. This is what brings influence - the ability to make people do what you want them to do without force (in the Kingdom context, to influence the world towards serving your God).*

So, as the guy who received the five talents was utilizing his talents, he would have been growing in his influential life, so much so that the five more talents he gained can also be interpreted in the light of winning 5 souls for his master. What a valuable steward! You become greatly valuable to the LORD when you coordinate your natural talents towards winning more souls to JESUS.

First, let's begin by dissecting prominent forms of prosperity that can be utilized to promote God's agenda (so you won't think prosperity is only about material things). There is what is called social prosperity, which has to do with being wealthy or prosperous in and with your relationships with people.

*The utilization of your natural talents can attract quality people into your life. With the right set of people in your life (even if they are just less than 5), you will barely be stranded where it matters, as the right relationships are great assets that can always be engaged for the actualization of your desires per time as consistent with God's will for you.*

So, the guy who received the five talents gave this report to his master: ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ it means, while he was utilizing his talents and putting them to good use, they were attracting all manner of valuables (including valuable relationships) that represents assets to the master's agenda. The master was very pleased with this.

For me, the MVP in the Parable of the Talents was the guy who received two talents after the first guy had received his 5. Imagine this, your master has called you all together to begin dishing out valuable resources. After calling the first guy forward, he gave him 5 measures, and you are called to come up too.

Seeing the master has given the person in front of you 5 measures, you will expect to receive either 5 or more. Alas, the master gave you just 2! That is enough to break your confidence level and self-esteem!

*However, this guy wasn't bothered. He didn't compare his 2 talents with that of his brother who had received 5! Rather, he got to work immediately, trusting the master's decision, and admitting that he had only been entrusted with 2 sacred talents based on his abilities.*

With a positive mindset, he was able to please the master with his 2 talents and got many more rewards for being faithful with what he was given.

Enter into the joy of your lord.’

*Message*

We could see that Jesus's parable of the Talents is a great revealator of the truth embedded into fruitfulness through faithfulness. The first reality we should come into is the fact that each and every one of us has received something from God upon which His gaze will be set as the object of measuring our faithfulness in stewardship.

*It's left to you to discover what God has already given you as His investment strategy (which He is quietly awaiting manifold returns from through your engagements) and not be like the ignorant guy who commonized the one talent given him. Whether or not you give priority to what God has entrusted into your hands, God is still going to come around one of these days to demand accountability.*

Now, one of the greatest hindrances to faithfulness in stewardship is comparison. This was the primary undoing of the guy given the one talent in Jesus's parable - he felt inadequate after seeing the master give the others more talents. What he never knew was that the master had given "each according to his own ability" and it was a great expression of love towards him. Had he not been busy comparing, he wouldn't have written off his talent as insignificant, and he would have claimed an edge over the rest to be more productive since he only had one thing to focus on.

The parable of the Talents is an incredible display of fruitfulness through faithfulness. Let me share the full event with you, and make sure you go through carefully:

[14] “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. [15] And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. [16] Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. [17] And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. [18] But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. [19] After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. [20] “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ [21] His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ [22] He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ [23] His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ [24] “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. [25] And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ [26] “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. [27] So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. [28] Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. [29] ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. [30] And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Folks, let me be truthful with you. The best decision you will ever make for all of eternity is to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and forsake any sinful way. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6 NKJV).

To be saved from self, sin, satan and death, simply confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead. God bless you.
Christianity EtcSee How The Church Helped And Blessed Me As A Little Boy by Interesting15(op): 8:20am On Aug 04, 2024
by Sunday Akanni Moshood

The local church system means a whole lot to me because I've been one of the greatest beneficiaries of its essence, structures, and divine blessings since I was a boy many years ago. This is one of the reasons why I keep giving priority to the local church system and advising everyone to have a commitment to a local church family. As I progress gallantly in life by God, a time will come when I will be graced by Jesus to write a story of my life. But here, let me give you a short testimony.

I was born into a mixed-faith home, my mum a Christian, and my dad was a liberal Muslim who allowed his children to practice the Christian faith. Now, my mum's church was a distance from where we lived, hence my mum permitted her children to attend a nearby local church with some neighbors.

As a 6-7-year-old in the children's church, my children's teachers were quick to spot the grace of God upon me and never discriminated nor ignored me because my parents were not members. Rather, I became the children's class pastor (during children's anniversaries, the kids take charge of the service of the big church). So I started preaching in front of adults at a tender age, and it was helpful in preparing me for my future and refining my gifts.

Eventually, after approaching my teenage phase and it was time for transition from the children's church into the main adult church, my then church pastor quickly started entrusting into my hands responsibilities that helped became structures and systems that ensured I keep engaging God in a corrupt environment.


It is important to note that I grew up in a society where corruption is the order of the day, and living in sin is a trendy thing. One of the reasons I wasn't drawn into the corruption prevalent with my peers was because I was busied with church responsibilities. As a young teenager, I was a Sunday school teacher, an interpreter, an usher, a part-time chorister (because I can't be doing ushering and choir at the same time), I was part of the evangelism team, I was a youth leader (some of the people I lead were far older than me), I became the sort-of district youth pastor without being ordained (the other youth pastors in the zone were far older).

To cut the story short, my local church became a training and empowerment center God used to shape me for today and the future. After leaving the church to go to the university for my undergraduate studies, it was easy for me to serve with my student fellowship (where I was eventually appointed the President).

In conclusion, it doesn't matter the extent of the attack against the body of Christ, the church is a big blessing to me (and many like me all around the world).

Jesus said - "I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (‭Matthew 16:18 NKJV‬)

*Message*

Yesterday, from our focus scripture, we emphasized how God has empowered you to prosper, and that His anointing upon your life via His gift of the Holy Spirit can be maximized for your prosperity, where you flourish on all sides and in all things. Now, we should pay more attention to the second part of that verse that gave the clause - "if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them."

*Some time ago, a young lady asked "Why are there still many Christians suffering like unbelievers?" Well, there lies the answer: many professing Christians aren't heeding the commandments of the Lord their God and are not careful to observe them. You see, obedience to God's instructions is a trigger in the realm of the spirit that positions us to receive the blessings He already made available for our flourishing.*


If you want to be fruitful on God's side, you must realize that the seed and anointing of fruitfulness are already embedded in you, and you have the potential to become everything great in God. However, you must give great priority to obeying God at all times to maximize all that truly belongs to you. Anything God won't want you to do, don't do! Everything God asks to be done, do! Flourish and be fruitful by the strength that comes from obeying the LORD.

TOPIC: Saturate Yourself With His Love

John 15:13 NKJV‬
[13] Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

*Message*

Mankind is deserving of everlasting destruction after abusing God’s manifold grace and love (which even angels didn't get to enjoy) in the Garden of Eden. But God's love was magnificently demonstrated in Christ Jesus when He gave Himself to redeem and restore undeserving sinners like us.

*The intention of God’s love is for our eternal security (which, of course, He wants us to begin reaping the dividends of eternity right from now). So, God’s love still saves man from eternal destruction. When He looks at fallen humanity, He does not want His beloved creatures to perish, and so in His love, He extends the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ.*

Fortunately, the duration of God’s love is for all of eternity. The love we receive among people here on earth may fade or turn, but God’s love will never change. God will never stop loving His people, even unto the furthest distance of eternity, this you can be very sure of. Saturate yourself with His love and be empowered to reciprocate as best as you can.

*Prayers*
Help me dear Lord to never lose sight of Your great love for me.
