TOPIC: The Glory He Has Prepared For Us In Eternity

‭‭‭
Matthew 25:21 NKJV‬‬
[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.’


*Message*

*The Word of GOD is a great blessing to us. If we live in accordance with His precepts, we become wise, and we enjoy eternal life. The Bible should be given greater priority above all other opinions and thoughts. Also, be always eager to hear what God is saying to you per time. You will keep experiencing true peace and prosperity.*

*In an imperfect world filled with headaches and heartaches, we can always soar above its negativity to flourish in the realities of eternity, on the platform of hope and faith, drawing strength and vitality that makes us invincible to the pangs attached to earth due to its yielding to sin and darkness. This is when we as believers can truly gain an advantage to be light and salt to a bland world.*

GOD is not myopic. Rather, He has prepared glorious things for us beyond time and this brief corrupt world. We are aware that when we die, or when Jesus Christ comes back again, we will be alive with Him in eternity, and we will enjoy glory and bliss forever more! Glory to God!

Remember, only those who have embraced Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (and are living a life of holiness) will get to heaven, while sinners will walk into eternal trouble. Appreciate GOD for giving us Jesus Christ to take us to eternal peace.

*Prayers*
Bless the Lord for all He has prepared for you for all of eternity.

TOPIC: Why You Should Pray For Your Country (Part 4)
‭‭
I Timothy 2:1-2‬‬
[1] Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, [2] for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
‭‭

*Message*

Still examining I Timothy 2:1-2, we should note that many of those ancient kings and rulers (in different parts of the world) are pagans, and also evil. In our current society, too, many of our political leaders are nasty and ungodly.

But why would God want us to always labor in the place of prayer for these ungodly and corrupt leaders?

Well, it is actually because of us (His children) and the fulfillment of His grand eternal agenda. See what the rest of the verse 2 says:

*"(When we are diligent in raising incense for these guys, the result is that) we may lead (or live) a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."*

So, while God is asking us to intercede for these ungodly leaders that we don't like, He is actually thinking about our own well-being. Of course, our intercessions can bring about repentance to these leaders (God wants everyone to be saved).

However, looking beyond these guys (many of them won't even submit themselves to the Lord due to power drunkenness, culture and other factors), God wants to use our intercessory prayers to ensure a pleasant environment where our services and communion with Him will keep flourishing.

*God wants us to have societies where we can easily serve Him with peace and pleasantness. And He has given us a strong formula for this: be intentional about raising incense for your leaders.* Maybe this is something some believers in very hostile societies should see and know. Maybe they haven't been diligent in carrying this out, but are only praying for something bad to happen to these leaders

*Prayers*
Pray for your head of state and government.

‭‭
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

*Message*

As we engage the mercies of God over our societies, we must see to it that we are repentant indeed. We must forsake our sins and turn back to God.

As a nation, we must decide to do away with terrible things like kidnapping, murder, corruption, tribalism, etc. As an individual, you too must do away with your personal sins - pride, sexual immorality, malice, alcoholism, telling lies, stealing, etc.

Once we are repentant, we will easily attract God's mercies sufficient to transform our society.

So, take time to pray for God's mercy over our land today. And if you need encouragement, then here are three great reasons you need to pray for your country today:

*1. God has great plans for your country. You can partner with God to make His perfect Will a reality in your own nation.*
*2. God has a reason for making you a citizen of that country. The land is yours and your earthly home. You are a major stakeholder.*
*3. Your country needs as many prayers as she can get right now. The truth is, there is a limitation to what humans can do to transform our societies. We really need God's help*

*Prayers*
Plead the Lord's mercies over your country.

TOPIC: Why You Should Pray For Your Country (Part 1)
‭‭
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

*Message*

Today, I want to turn your attention to the operations of prayer, channeling the discourse toward praying for your country. Let me start by encouraging you that prayer still works. I know a lot of people are not happy with how things are going in their respective societies, and it seems all hope is lost because they have given up on their country.

As a matter of fact, some would say, "But we've been praying for our nation for many years now and can't see any positive change whatsoever". In all things, the truth remains that God still answers prayers, and He can do things beyond our own human actions and strategies.

Now, you might live in a country where prayer is not an alien (like in Nigeria where I'm from). However, one of the reasons it appears as if our prayers are ineffective is that we are not praying the right type of prayers.

There are different types of prayer, and for truth, the kind of prayer we should focus on right now in our respective societies is "Prayer of Mercy".

*Many societies around the world have dipped themselves vehemently in unrighteousness and dark corruption. Hence, as believers, priests God has put in place to turn around the tides of nations, we must take a posture of humility and plead for mercy from the LORD.*

Fortunately, the LORD says: *"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14*

*Prayers*
Plead the Lord's mercies over your country.

TOPIC: Sweet Letters To Young People (Part 3)
‭‭
Ecclesiastes 12:13 ‬‬
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.

*Message*

Dear Young People,
*Your destiny as a young person is to have an intimate relationship with God that is eternal in nature, through Jesus Christ. On the strength of this relationship with the LORD, you will be empowered with the Holy Ghost, and you will have dominion to live above the devil, sin, self, and death.*

Hence, if you are still pushing God away from you with your lifestyle, I want you to know that God loves you and He has proven this long before you were born - He came in the flesh and was humiliated and died for you to have eternal life.

God however is Holy, and He can't behold iniquity. If you are still indulging in sinful stuff, it simply means you are pushing Him away from you. But if you will repent and forsake them, He will cleanse you and make you a new creature worthy of walking with Him in spirit and in truth. If you are therefore in this category, today is the day of salvation! Make a decision for Jesus!

Your destiny is in God, and it doesn't matter what lie the devil is singing into your ears right now; just let this sink into the very depths of your subconsciousness: YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD!

God bless you, in Jesus Name. Amen.
*Prayers*
As a young person, I receive God's help to serve Him from the days of my youth.

‭‭
Ecclesiastes 12:13 ‬‬
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.

*Message*

Dear Young People,

*I know you still have the youthful strength to jump around the place. But in years to come, your youthful strength and desires will all be gone. Those days, when you look back at how you spent the days of your youth, you are going to be either happy or filled with regrets.*

Are you still living a lifestyle you will grow up to regret in years to come? You can still make amendments starting today! Ask Jesus to help you, and He will do perfect work in your life! Trust Him!

Also, it was discovered that many young people are addicted to various forms of illicit sexual pleasure. Whether it is masturbation, pornography, premarital sex, lesbianism, or homosexuality, these things are sinful and can destroy you. Repent, ask God for mercy, and never return to them again.

If you are greatly addicted, then talk to a mature spiritual person around you, and get the freedom Jesus already procured for you. Jesus still loves you.

Finally, always remember that Jesus is coming back again. Are you aware that the rapture can take place before the end of this month, and that when it happens, that's all? Wisdom demands then that we live each day with eternity in view. By so doing, you are empowered to live upright and holy in the sight of God. Remember, only the righteous in Christ will be rapturable. This world is temporal.

*Prayers*
As a young person, I receive God's help to serve Him from the days of my youth.

TOPIC: Celebrating God's Word
‭‭
Psalms 119:14 NKJV‬‬
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches.

*Message*

It takes a revelation of the preciousness of the word of God to ensure we give it the right priority and therefore maximize its accompanying blessings. When you have a proper revelation of His Word, you will keep seeing that it is always pricelessly well above anything material.

Basically, the zeal accorded to God's Word reveals the extent to the revelation we have of its preciousness.

*The TPT version of Psalms 119:14 states - "I find more joy in following what you tell me to do than in chasing after all the wealth of the world."*

As a person explore God's Word, they can easily know that they are touching depths when they keep clashing with joy from what they behold.

The next verse goes thus:
*"I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways." (Psalms 119:15).*

It is a very healthy habit for a believer to meditate on God's word. While at it, you can see things the way God sees them, and you can configure an experience of walking in God's way and divine principles even in your divine meditations. This is the way of divinity.

Generally, if we can live our lives in complete obedience to what God is saying and has said in the scripture of truth, our individual lives and collective societies will experience true peace and prosperity.

*Prayers*
I place greater value on God's word.

TOPIC: We Are All Meant To Have Dominion As Kings And Priests
‭‭
Genesis 1:26 NKJV‬‬
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

*Message*

Humans were created by the Creator to have dominion over creation, as a gesture of His endless and unmerited love and goodness. To make this a reality, He configured Man to sustain a posture - Priesthood and Kingship.

As long as Adam was faithful to Priesthood (standing before the glory of God and excavating essence from the realm of the Spirit), he will continue to flawlessly exercise rulership on earth with no issues whatsoever.

Unfortunately, we lost this when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. But Jesus Christ came to restore the Authority we lost (John 1:12).

*One of the blessings of faith in Christ Jesus is how our eyes are opened to the divine protocols attached to owning dominion and exercising rulership on the earth realm. Hence, we know that it is an aberration to be a slave to sin, sickness, poverty, satan, hell, and other negative things.*

It is necessary to always remember that the way to have true dominion is to ensure an intimate righteous relationship with God, which is what empowers us to rule as kings and priests.

*"And (Jesus Christ) have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth" Revelation 5:10.*

Jesus makes us. If He doesn't make a person, such cannot amount to anything significant. As you join yourself continuously with Him in faithfulness to your priesthood responsibilities you will keep enjoying all it takes to live as a royalty on earth.

This is your destiny - but it can only be a reality in Christ Jesus.

*Prayers*
I am a king and priest unto the living God.

4. Utilizing My Talents And Gifts On A Global Scale

I not only discovered some of my talents and gifts as a young chap but also started deploying them (and reaping some measures of dividends) even while polishing them continuously.

Many years ago as a very young teenager, as consistent with my destiny, I began writing and publishing books despite the little resources at my disposal at that time. One of the earliest books I published on the Internet was on premarital sex, and it was made available to readers from different parts of the world.

One of those days, I got an email from one of the readers from America I think. He introduced himself (he was a much older person, older than me with maybe over 40 years), and he was conducting postgraduate academic research on premarital sex in America, hence getting different academic books for his thesis. One way or the other, he got my book too.

Amazingly, his intention was to read the book to get some information for his academic research work, but God started using the book to convict his heart of his immoral lifestyle. Hence, he messaged me to inform me of his lifestyle (his immoral partner, etc) and what eventually happened.

I was so delighted that God could use a young teenager like me then in a small part of Nigeria to touch a much older professional in faraway America simply because I yielded to Him.

Hence, if you will yield to the Lord too, He will make a beautiful story out of your life even from right now!

5. Learning How The Internet Can Be Utilized To Make Money

I developed an interest in researching how the Internet can be utilized to make money without compromising good morals, and I'm still reaping the rewards of the skills even now, as I'm a bi-vocational minister.

Finally, the greatest decision you can make today is to embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and start nurturing an intimate relationship with God your Father. This is what will empower you to live a life of complete dominion here on earth, and make you a sure candidate of Heaven (the rapture will take place anytime soon)

Run away from sin, and live your life for GOD. It is your destiny to live inside GOD through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Only Jesus Christ could boldly proclaim: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

If you want to submit to Jesus, simply say this prayer:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

Jesus loves you too. Amen

I quit the teenage phase of life some ten years ago, and I'm now in my late twenties (although I still look way younger than my actual age. Lol). But looking back, I'm grateful to God for certain decisions I made when I was a very young boy years back that set me up for a blissful adulthood.

For the sake of space and time, let's summarise them into five.

1. Accepting Jesus As Lord And Savior

We all must make decisions every day. However, certain decisions are greater than several other decisions we make. These are decisions that change our lives forever.

The greatest decision I made that transformed my life was when I decided to give my life genuinely to Jesus Christ years back as a young teenager, making the decision to serve HIM and to maintain a good relationship with HIM in spirit and in truth.

2. Discovery Of Life Purpose

My relationship with Jesus set me on the pathway of destiny and purpose fulfillment early enough. Hence, I don't experience idleness, hopelessness, and helplessness. I've never been stranded in my life. Jesus is sweet.

From a young age, I knew I was called to be a minister of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, and I structured my life accordingly. I started preaching as a child and grew up doing ministry. It's blissful doing what you were created to do from a young age. One of the benefits is you gain mastery while still young.

3. Building A Structure That Promotes Holiness

The decision to walk with Jesus as a young chap changed everything about me and my relationship with God empowered me in all important ways. Despite being a very young chap, I could live above sin, the devil and hell. Hence, I couldn't even relate to addictions and heartaches and headaches that are prominent in the circle of many young folks.

While I'm not yet 100 percent perfect, I was able to build a structure around my life that prevents me from indulging in dirty things that easily destroy lives. So, even now, my life is fresh, devoid of the fatal scars of sin.

TOPIC: Hope For The Bad Guys
‭‬‬
Luke 19:8 NKJV‬‬
[Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”

*MESSAGE*

In Christ Jesus, there is hope for the bad guys of the society. The man 'Zacchaeus' was a 'bad guy' who was hated by many people in his society for obvious reasons. However, he encountered the Lord Jesus on a certain day, and his life experienced a massive turnaround for good.

Read the entire story yourself from scripture:

*Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.” Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:2‭-‬10 NKJV*

You see, Jesus is still very much around today and He is ready to bring anyone out of any form of ugly lifestyle they are living. It doesn't matter the terrible and sinful things they are doing, Jesus is not condemning, for He loves greatly.

If you are in this cadre, like Zacchaeus, and you will run to Jesus and forsake your sinful ways, Jesus will come to you right now and make your life so beautiful.

*And if you are a saint already, don't give up or look down on the bad guys around you. Encourage them to run away from sin, and live their life for GOD. They should know that it is their destiny to live inside GOD through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.*

After getting them saved, try to get them a Bible and encourage your converts to study God's Word regularly to know more about the LORD. They should also be part of a Bible-believing church around them and fellowship with fellow Christians to grow in the things of the Spirit.

*Prayers*
Do you know any sinner around you whom society has given up on? Pray for an encounter with the Lord for such today!

TOPIC: Break Your Dirty Addictions - You Are Stronger Than You Think
‭‬‬
...because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14

*MESSAGE*

The Will of God is that we live holy just as He is Holy. Without holiness, we can't please Him, and we can't walk with Him in an acceptable manner. While a human being is spirit, soul and body, we know that the very weak state of the fallen nature of man keeps infesting the body and soul of many with dirty things that disrupt their perfect communion with the LORD.

So, several folks are currently addicted to all manner of dirty things ranging from pornography, lying, masturbation, etc, and are still slaves to what they know is making them vulnerable to be plundered massively by the devil.

Fortunately, you don't have to remain a slave to any dirty addiction, as the LORD, in the scripture, has given the victory.

*"...because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14*

Simple: The Word of God gives the victory!

*The Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, where you will be empowered to overcome anything evil. And I'm delighted to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Allow Jesus to dwell richly in you if you want to overcome any dirty addictions.*

So, you will make the best decision when you decide to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour of your life. Also, the LORD has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Bible). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered to live above the lust of the flesh.

Finally, avoid feeding your flesh with lustful things (romantic movies and novels, bad songs, interacting with bad friends, and so on).

Remember, the LORD your Good Father has given you all it takes to overcome the evil one with all of his dirty things. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD for grace to keep living above the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

TOPIC: Adding Flavour To A Bitter World

Matthew 5:13 NKJV‬‬
[13] “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

*Message*

If you belong to a healthy Christian community, it is expected that you are encouraged to evangelize our Christ and bring the dark world into the Light of God. Several channels, ways, and methods are usually explored to make our evangelistic activities as effective and efficient as possible.

Now, it is also important that you give great priority to having a fine character in your society as a Christian interested in bringing others into the glorious light of the kingdom of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

You know, several other religions thrive on force and violence - but Jesus conquered the world with Love. He was greatly admired and known as a Man of perfect character. As believers, you can easily win and convince those around you (your neighbors, co-workers, co-students, etc) into the fold of Christ with your beautiful character.

Your lovely character can influence a hard and cold world to honor your invitation to Church, to listen to your message, etc.

An easy way to be a person of fine character is simply possessing and exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit, as highlighted in Galatians chapter 5 verses 22 and 23 - "love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control"

*The world is a bitter place already due to the activities of evil that crept into the earth courtesy of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. As carriers of eternal life, we are the salt of the earth and must thus add divine flavor to our societies - this is how they can see that the Lord has not given up on sinful earth.*

TOPIC: Who Told You Are Naked?

Genesis 3:11 NKJV‬‬
[11] And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

*Message*

In Genesis 3 verse 11, God asked Adam a question: "Who told you that you were naked"?

Let's start from the beginning.

Before God created humans, God has always existed gloriously in eternity. If God has decided to not create humans (or anything at all), God will still be fine in Himself. However, as an expression of His nature of love, He decided to create humans and place them on earth where He can share His love and dominion with us.

Since humans came from God, He is our Source, and we are meant to be connected to Him to keep flourishing. However, after Adam and Eve sinned against God by yielding the counsel of the devil, God asked Man "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9).

Note that this question wasn't about the geographical location of Adam and Eve, since God knows all things. However, God was asking: "Whose side are you now?"

And when Adam lamented that he was naked, God then asked him: "Who told you that you were naked"?

In other words, "What have you been listening to that is telling you what I'm not saying?"

This is the same question you must answer today. Have you been embracing ideologies and trends contrary to the Will of God?

*You are meant to flourish by living your life in accordance with God's Word, and not popular opinions. God is your Source, and you can only be fulfilled in Him.*

Today, there are many evil voices people are listening to that are bringing discomfort to their spirit, soul and body. Voices of lesbianism, homosexualism, immorality, greed, selfishness, pride, indecency, love of money, and so on.

Anything anyone is saying that is contrary to God's Word should be discarded, because they will only strip you of your true supernatural identity as a child of God if you obey them.

Therefore, you should get yourself familiar with the Word of God in a time as this.

*Prayers*
Ask for God's help to inculcate the disciplines needed to get familiar with His voice, and to give priority to His voice far above other voices.

TOPIC: Don't Hoard The Blessings Of God

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen" Matthew 28:19,20

*Message*

As believers of Jesus Christ, we have received the greatest Gift ever: Eternal Life Through Faith In Christ Jesus, Empowered by the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of the God of the Universe abides in us, and we are the most blessed and most fortunate of all men. Glory to God!

*Now, don't hoard the blessing you have received as a Christian, but be determined to share it with the world. Good news can't be contained, and we find great pleasure in talking about it. Christians have a divine responsibility of telling the world the Good News of God's Grace - how God Himself came to the world in the flesh to reconcile humanity back to Himself and save us from the terrible afflictions of sin, satan and hell.*

The Good News is that through Jesus Christ, any human (irrespective of how dirty they have been living), can become a bonafide child of the Almighty God, and can maintain a pleasurable relationship with YAHWEH, which empowers them to have dominion over creation.


The last words of a person are usually very significant. And in the Bible, we saw the very last words of JESUS to His disciples before His departure:

*"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen" Matthew 28:19,20*

It is then obvious that the most important thing to Jesus is getting people into His Kingdom, and this must be our own greatest priority too as His children.

*Prayers*
Lord, make me sensitive to daily opportunities to be a Dispenser of eternal life.

TOPIC: Lovers Of Pleasure Rather Than Lovers Of God

II Timothy 3:4
[Traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

*Message*

When you check the Bible, the Scripture of Truth, you find several prophecies about some of the unpleasant things attached to the end time, which is right here in our days. *Some of them include: "...(being)..unholy...without self-control..lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." (2 Timothy 3:2-4).*

So, today, you see randy and very immoral people all around you. Men and women can go to any extent to satisfy their sinful urges (including molesting children). The reason for this is that many in our societies are under the yoke and influence of the evil devil.

After the devil was thrown down to the earth, he started expressing himself in various ways, with the aim of ensuring humans would keep rebelling against God the Creator and be at enmity with Him.

*The devil is referred to as the god of this age, and he is in charge of the high rate of dirty works of darkness in our world today. A lot of folks are still slaves to satan, and they should be pitied as being unfortunate because the wages of sin is death. If they die today, they are going to find themselves in a state of eternal torment.*

What then is the solution? We must introduce them to freedom! How? Through the life of God that is offered in Christ Jesus.

*Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" (John 14:6). And the bible established that it is only through Jesus you can get true freedom (John 8:36).*

As believers, we must rise up to the responsibility of informing the dark world that Jesus will not only deliver them from sin, but will also empower them to live above dirts by the Holy Ghost.

*Prayers*
Lord, help me to continually love You above everything else the world has to offer.

TOPIC: The Orphan Girl Who Became A Queen

The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Esther 2:17‬‬

*Message*
One of the most amazing and interesting characters in the Bible and in history is the woman Esther. Her experiences were quite astounding, as we could see how an unknown orphan could rise to become the Queen of a very large global empire.

Interestingly, Esther was able to rise to the prominence of the Palace of Ahasuerus (who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia), without having to compromise the ways of the LORD. Her success and exploits are pleasant indicators that anyone can rise to the top without having to cut corners and indulge in something bad and unholy.

However, this could obviously be possible by the Hand of God. The LORD favored Esther to get to the prominence of the Palace of a global empire despite being a nobody. Indeed, favor is a spiritual tool that can make you great in life without having to sell your soul to evil.

I know you want to be a great person in life. Actually, God wants you to be great. He is a Great God Himself, and you were created in His image. However, many people are approaching the path of success in a wrong and dangerous way, thereby getting themselves injured and damaging their souls. Only God can help you become truly great and successful without you having to stain your hands in impurity. And He is always eager to help you become successful.

*How can you partner with God to be successful and great in life? Simply make the intentional decision to have an intimate relationship with Him, as He is Your Source. Anyone with an intimate righteous relationship with God through Jesus Christ gets to be empowered to have dominion for destiny fulfilment.*

When you have a good relationship with God in Christ Jesus, you are empowered with the Holy Spirit, who will give you access to all of God's spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus (including favor).


*Prayers*
Pray for wisdom to know all to do to access all the immense blessings made available to you in Christ Jesus for destiny fulfillment.

TOPIC: 4 Major Things Ruining Lots Of Young People (Part 2)

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:

*Message*

*3. Pride*

Honor and respect are now far from many young people, as several are filled with pride, regarding themselves far beyond what they truly are.

It is becoming normal to see young chaps who talk anyhow to those ahead of them (see what’s happening on social media), and aren’t truly submissive to elders anymore (even to their own parents).

Well, one of the implications of this is that a lot will end up experiencing avoidable suffering. First, those ahead of them who should have helped draw them up easily, are now avoiding them (no elderly person wants to be dishonored by these kids). Secondly, they disobey the divine command of honoring the elderly, so our days may be long on earth.

The Bible admonishes- "Honor all people." (I Peter 2:17).

*4. Ignorance*

Foolishness abides in the hearts of many young people today. They don’t know wisdom, and they keep rejecting the way of wisdom.

Funnily, you see those in this cadre regarding themselves wise in their own eyes. The things they post on social media, for instance, keep exposing their ignorance and foolishness. They are ignorant of the ways of life.

*Young people must give great priority to God's wisdom that has been made available through Christ Jesus to be enabled to live a life of destiny that is devoid of headaches and errors that accustom the average young person in every generation.*

If you are a young person, ensure you never allow the enemy of your soul to entrap you into any of the things discussed here, and you are guaranteed a blissful existence.

*Prayers*
Ask for the grace to please the Lord with your youthful vigor.

TOPIC: 4 Major Things Ruining Lots Of Young People (Part 1)

‭‬
"Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (II Timothy 2:22 NKJV)

*Message*

The Bible already exposed the evil mission of the devil, the archenemy of mankind:”….the thief comes not but to steal, and to kill and to destroy…” (John 10:10). Today, the evil agenda of the devil is vehemently directed towards young people around the world.

Hence, many youths are bedeviled with evil and all of its expressions. The devil is interested in you as a young person, because of your strength and potential (you can wreak serious havoc to his kingdom if you will align with God). So, the devil tries to distract you with many wrong things to ruin you before you can ruin his agenda.

There are so many things the enemy is utilizing to bring youths today into ruin and destruction. But let me put them under these 4 major categories:


*1. Materialism*

The craze and lust for physical material things keep pushing many young folks into self-destruction. This is finding expression via gambling, prostitution, stealing, ritualism, scamming, etc. They want to flaunt the latest phones and gadgets, flashy cars, clothes, and so on.

Contentment is no longer in the dictionary of many, and this is dangerous. Hence, they are ready to do just anything to acquire material stuff to show off and impress and feel among.

*"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (I Timothy 6:6-7)*‬

*2. Immorality*

Many young people are slaves to sex, masturbation, pornography, and so on. Their strength is wasted on the evil pleasures of immorality, and they keep entangling themselves deeper into terrible addictions. It’s so bad.
‬‬
*"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (I Corinthians 6:18)*

*Prayers*
Ask for the grace to please the Lord with your youthful strength.

TOPIC: The Strength Of A Young Person
‭‬‬
"I have written to you, young men (young people), because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14

*Message*

In the above verse, the Apostle John, by the Holy Spirit, was able to identify three things that should contribute to our identity as young people (as healthy young people).

First, he mentioned the strength of young people. Of course, a healthy young person is physically stronger than the elderly one. However, since the Apostle John, at the point of writing this, was in the realm of the Spirit which is above this material world of ours, his expressions weren't limited to simply the things we know in our own realm here. Hence, when he was talking about being strong, he wasn't limiting himself to mere physical strength.

*Apostle John was trying to draw our attention to the fact that it is the destiny of every young person to have divine strength and stamina. One major expression of divine strength is the capacity to stay in the presence of God continually. Simply put, as a young person, you have the inherent potential and ability to have a pleasant relationship with God right from the days of your youth - notwithstanding the hindrances and distractions prevalent today.*

How is this possible? The second statement gave us the key: "... because the word of God abides in you". You see, the Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, and it is what will sustain you in Him, even in this dark world.

And I'm pleased to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Jesus must dwell in you if you would maximize your potential as a "strong" youth. Hence, it is your destiny to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour and have an intimate relationship with Him.

Additionally, Jesus Christ has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Scripture). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered.

Finally, this verse reveals that every young person has the potential to overcome the evil one. How? Through the Word of GOD! You are not meant to be a slave to the devil and anything else negative - sickness, poverty, failure, sin, hell, and so on. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

*As a young person, your greatest focus should be the LORD JESUS. It's your destiny to have a righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. GOD bless you in Jesus Name. Amen.*

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD for grace to keep looking on to Him without distractions.

TOPIC: The Demands Of Wisdom
‭‬‬
Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. (Proverbs‬ ‭4:7)

*Message*

As wisdom is the principal thing, then we should give great priority to seeking and getting wisdom, particularly as people who want to live a successful and fulfilled life. Indeed, Wisdom is an integral determinant when it comes to true success.

Whilst we live in a generation and society that prioritizes immediate material gratification above the things that really matter and at the expense of wisdom, wisdom demands that you, dear reader, should opt for the noble path. This is good for you, since a life lived without wisdom will always have terrible repercussions.


*As far as the chase for wisdom is concerned, wisdom demands that you seek Wisdom Himself, the LORD Who is all-wise. He is the True Source of Eternal Wisdom. And what we learn from Him gets us empowered to live a fulfilled eternal life.*

Truly, we can learn and hear a lot from Him through the scriptures (which are His Words). God's word ignites you for a purposeful life and existence (Jeremiah 1), and you will discover that your primary purpose and aim is to ensure an intimate righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature, through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. And which makes you a true success both here on earth and in eternity.

*The results and fruits that emanate from your adventures will reveal the strength of the wisdom you operate with.*

Wisdom demands that you make up your mind to not hold back yourself from serving GOD in the manner He desires, and you should keep remembering that God is taking notes on what you do in secret and public - for a day will come when we will give an account of ourselves.

*Prayers*
Dear LORD, increase me in wisdom and empower me to give priority only to what matters to You.

TOPIC: Three Important Things You Should Always Remember

"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord!" Psalms‬ ‭119:1‬

*Message*

Dear believer, as you interact with society in these times, always remember these three things, and they will keep you empowered for the advantages of divinity:

1. Biblical Principles Should Be Given Greater Priority Above All Other Opinions

The truth is, if we can live our lives in complete obedience to what God is saying and has said in His Scripture of Truth, our individual lives and collective societies will experience true peace and prosperity.

You will keep doing yourself a lot of good if you can keep meditating on the words of the Bible and live your life in accordance with biblical principles.
‬
*"Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!" Psalms‬ ‭119:2*‬ ‬

2. That Jesus Is More Than Sufficient

If you don't know anybody else around you as leverage for help but you know Jesus, it is more than enough. You don't need to have connections before you excel - if you know Jesus Christ, you won't be small.

Hence, it is wisdom to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and ensure you keep growing in your walk with the Lord.
‬‬
*“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John‬ ‭15:5*‬

3. Always Sustain The Consciousness That The Holy Spirit Is A Real Helper
‬‬
*And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— (John‬ ‭14:16)*

The Holy Spirit has expertise in helping you become all God has destined you to be.

If you maintain this consciousness, you will start seeing Him help you in ways you haven't seen before, and He becomes real to you than before. The Holy Spirit enjoys helping us. Always give Him opportunities to help you.


*Prayers*
Today, I ask that the LORD bless the day for your sake as you cultivate an intimate relationship with Him. You are empowered to walk with God and serve Him in spirit and in truth all through your days.

Few weeks ago, I published two books at the same time, and I've given free copies to around a thousand people.

I'm still giving free copies of the book "Sexual Purity Wisdom For Males" to interested nairalanders... Follow this thread to get yours (either you are a male or female)>> https://www.nairaland.com/7885246/sexual-purity-wisdom-males-free

If you are a woman, I'm also still giving free copies of the book "Sexual Purity Wisdom For Females" to interested nairalanders... Follow this thread to get yours (either you are a male or female)>> https://www.nairaland.com/7907524/sexual-purity-wisdom-females-free

Many years ago as a very young teenager, as consistent with my destiny, I began writing and publishing books in spite of the little resources at my disposal at that time. One of the earliest books I published on the Internet was on premarital sex, and it was made available to readers from different parts of the world.

One of those days, I got an email from one of the readers from America I think. He introduced himself (he was a much older person, older than me with maybe over 40 years), and he was conducting postgraduate academic research on premarital sex in America, hence getting different academic books for his thesis. One way or the other, he got my book too.

Amazingly, his intention was to read the book to get some information for his academic research work, but God started using the book to convict his heart of his immoral lifestyle. Hence, he messaged me to inform me of his lifestyle (his immoral partner, etc) and what eventually happened.

I was so delighted that God could use a young teenager like me then in a small part of Nigeria to touch a much older professional in faraway America simply because I yielded to Him.

Hence, if you will yield to the Lord too, He will make a beautiful story out of your life even from right now! Your destiny is to sustain an eternal intimate righteous relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and you will be empowered with the Holy Ghost to have dominion over creation and all things.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAIu7nA__Sc

We all must make decisions every day. However, certain decisions are greater than several other decisions we make. These are decisions that change our lives forever.

The greatest decision I made that transformed my life was when I decided to give my life genuinely to Jesus Christ years back as a young teenager, making the decision to serve HIM and to maintain a good relationship with HIM in spirit and in truth.

That decision changed everything about me, and my relationship with God empowered me in all important ways. Despite being a very young chap, I could live above sin, the devil and hell. Hence, I couldn't even relate to addictions and heartaches and headaches that are prominent in the circle of many young folks.

My relationship with Jesus set me on the pathway of destiny and purpose fulfillment early enough. Hence, I don't experience idleness, hopelessness, and helplessness. I've never been stranded in my life.

Jesus is sweet.

The greatest decision you can make today is to embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and start nurturing an intimate relationship with God your Father. This is what will empower you to live a life of complete dominion here on earth, and make you a sure candidate of Heaven (the rapture will take place anytime soon).

Run away from sin, and live your life for GOD. It is your destiny to live inside GOD through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Only Jesus Christ could boldly proclaim: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

If you want to submit to Jesus, simply say this prayer:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

Jesus loves you too. Amen

TOPIC: The Bliss In Serving God From The Days Of Your Youth (Part 3)

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:

*Message*

*You are wonderfully and fearfully made by GOD. When GOD finished creating you, He looked at you and smiled, happy that He made you well. He has deposited inside you certain abilities that you can naturally exhibit. These are your talents, meant to help you accomplish your destiny and purpose without issues (Exodus 31:1-11)*

The Holy Spirit will help you discover your own talents, and give you the wisdom to utilize them for His Glory (Judges 6:12).

Also, when we give ourselves to God in Holiness and Righteousness, He blesses us with supernatural abilities, known as spiritual gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12, we could see some of these gifts. These gifts will be utilized by God to make you a vessel (irrespective of your age), to comfort the Church, edify her, and exhort her.

Personally, expressing these gifts will ensure you go deeper in the things of God, nurture a deeper relationship with God, and be more fervent in the things of the Spirit.

*So you see, you will always be advantaged when you decide to give your life to JESUS and serve GOD in spirit and in truth. Irrespective of your age, start walking intimately with God your Creator now!*

Turn your back to the vain culture of the day and be ready to please the LORD by being the odd one of the pack. The LORD will always honor you in return, both here on earth and in eternity.

TOPIC: The Bliss In Serving God From The Days Of Your Youth (Part 2)

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Luke‬ ‭2:52‬‬

*Message*

The Holy Spirit is GOD, and He has been around since time immemorial, making Him a very wise Being. As you give yourself to JESUS and allow the Holy Spirit to find expression in you, He blesses you with His qualities and characteristics - including His Ancient Wisdom.

With this ancient and divine wisdom, you have an edge over not only your peers, but even much older people who don't have the Holy Spirit in them. He guides you with wisdom, and you will live an exceptional life. Thus, even as a youngster, I've always been entrusted with important sensitive responsibilities, with no controversy whatsoever. Glory to God!

Also, you will experience early enough the bliss attached to the discovery of purpose. I started experiencing genuine fulfillment as a young chap because I started walking in purpose early enough.

*There is a reason you were created by God to be who and where you are today (Jeremiah 1:5). You are not a mistake (Psalm 139:14). There are certain things GOD wants you to accomplish on earth while He was creating you - this is your purpose. If you live outside God's Will, you will not only live below your potential, but you tend to also experience a restless and unfulfilled life.*

But the Holy Spirit helps in the discovery of purpose, ensuring you live a successful and pleasant life.

*Prayers*
Precious Holy Spirit, I make a solid decision yet again to maximize all you have to offer me.

‭
Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:

*Message*

One of the best things that can happen to any young person is to receive the Life of God as a young chap and make the decision to walk intimately with Jesus Christ from the days of your youth.

When you get old and taking stock of your life, you will forever be proud of yourself for deciding to serve God right from your youthful days.

*Jesus said: "I am to the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6). When you as a young chap submit yourself genuinely to Jesus, serving Him in spirit and in truth, He will translate you from darkness (a state of hopelessness and helplessness) into His Kingdom of Life and Light.*

When you choose to walk with Jesus, He gives you His Holy Spirit, Who helps you live in line with His Will and precepts. The Holy Spirit is a big Asset that will transform your life forever. This is my experience!

The Holy Spirit will do a lot of things in and for you. One, your self-esteem will be on a splendid level. Your self-esteem is your self-worth, the way you truly see and regard yourself. It is important to have proper self-esteem, particularly when one is still growing. Unfortunately, many young people have very low self-esteem, and they are easily influenced by bad peers because they always crave acceptance.

But the Holy Spirit helps in realizing one's proper worth, and your self-esteem will be healthy. For me, while I grew up in an environment filled with immoral and wrong things, even as a young teenager at that time, I confidently enjoyed being the odd one living right, since I esteemed myself very highly, courtesy of the Holy Spirit.

*Prayers*
Pray for any young person you know still trying to do life outside of God.

That decision changed everything about me, and my relationship with God empowered me in all important ways. Despite being a very young folk, I could live above sin, the devil and hell. Hence, I couldn't even relate to addictions and heartaches and headaches that are prominent in the circle of many young folks.

My relationship with Jesus set me on the pathway of destiny and purpose fulfillment early enough. Hence, I don't experience idleness, hopelessness, and helplessness. I've never been stranded in my life.

Jesus is sweet.

*The greatest decision anyone can make today is to embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and start nurturing an intimate relationship with God your Father. This is what will empower you to live a life of complete dominion here on earth, and make you a sure candidate for Heaven (the rapture will take place anytime soon).*

If you are still living outside of God's Will for you, you should run away from sin, and live your life for GOD. It is your destiny to live inside GOD through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Only Jesus Christ could boldly proclaim: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

Jesus loves you too. Amen

*Prayers*
LORD Jesus, have mercy on me and help me become all you have in mind for me.
