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.

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.

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

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.

TOPIC: How God Transformed John Newton

Jeremiah‬ ‭32:27‬ ‬‬
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

*Message*

John Newton (1725-1801) was a strong atheist and blasphemer. As a young man, he was a bully, usually angry and wild. When he turned 18, he was forced into the Navy. He was notorious for always breaking the rules and was often publicly flogged for desertion. Before becoming a slave trader, he was greatly despised and feared by his crewmates.

When he was 23, his ship one day encountered a terrible storm, and it almost sank off the coast of Donegal. While the ship was filled with water and there appeared no more hope, Newton cried out to God for help. On March 1748, God rescued him, and he began a new life.

John Newton started praying and reading the Bible. He eventually became a prominent light in the campaign to abolish the slave trade.

He is best known as the author of the hymn:
"Amazing Grace"
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see....."

So delightful...

*Beloved, please don't despise anyone. The dirtiest sinner you see today can also become a pure child of God tomorrow. GOD is not giving up on any of His prodigal children still lost in the wild.*

Every atheist and hard unbeliever simply needs an encounter with God. Beyond giving them sermons and preaching to them, many stubborn atheists and unbelievers needs an encounter with God that will bring them into God's Kingdom. The LORD Himself must lovingly introduce Himself to them as He did Paul. Hence, we must keep interceding for them.

If you are currently an atheist or unbeliever, if you will open your heart, Jesus will come and visit you this week. And your life will never remain the same when you submit to the Lordship of Christ.

*As Christians, we must place great value on evangelism and all that concerns soul-winning. Many sinners out there will be saved by Jesus Christ when we arise to partner with the Holy Ghost to minister the gospel (which has an inherent capacity to break the hardest heart and is indeed the power of GOD unto salvation)*

*Prayers*
Today, we ask that the Lord in His mercy should encounter a lot of atheists around the world for the salvation of their souls.

TOPIC: What Is God Telling You Right Now?
‭‭
Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

*Message*

A lot are usually eager to have access to divine information about themselves, and they try to be attentive to know what God has for them.

Perhaps, you have been wondering what God is saying about you and your current state. Of course, you are not alone! In fact, many have been wondering what the mind of GOD is concerning the world in such a time as this.

*You should know that GOD, being a loving Father who has our best interest at heart, is always speaking to us, as His voice is what we really need to live a life filled with pleasantness and blessings.*

*The problem is, many people don't pay attention to what God is saying, as the world is filled with several distractions put in place by the mischievous devil. Nevertheless, it is not difficult to know what God is saying as we have access to His Word (Hebrews 4:12, 2 Peter 1:19), and we have the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).*

What God is telling you right now is that He wants you to know and remember that He loves you so much. He graciously made you well, preserved you to be alive till this day, and He even took a painful step to die for your sins.

*"For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).*

What GOD is telling you right now is that you should nurture an intimate relationship with HIM, as this is what will empower you to live a life filled with blessings and glory and dominion. This is possible through faith in Jesus Christ.

*GOD is telling you that very soon, He will come back to take the Saints home to heaven, and you must always be ready for Him when He calls. And if you are sure you aren't living consistently with His perfect Will for you, He is saying you should simply call upon His name and ask Him for mercy, and His love will compel Him to draw you into His blissful embrace.*

*Prayers*
LORD, I know You are always sharing wonderful things with me as my loving Father. Today, my spirit is open to know and receive all You have made available to me as my heritage.

TOPIC: Selfless Love

"(And Jesus said to him): "And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" Matthew 22: 39
‭‬‬
*Message*

Genuine love is also characterized by selflessness, and in the exploration of true love, you must arrive at a state that is devoid of selfishness if you will maximize the beauty of love. You shouldn't live for yourself alone but should strive as much as possible to make it a duty to show love to others around you.

*We learn love from God, who is Love. Now, you see GOD isn't self-centered. He loves others (unconditionally), and He always has our best interests at heart. This is one of the core things that fuels His pure beauty. And as His unique creatures, we must be like Him even in this regard.*

The truth is, our world would be a better place if everyone could love others genuinely. You become a better person (as well as a better Christian) as you love others genuinely. By so doing, you make yourself available to ensure the well-being of folks God has strategically placed around your space, and you are willing to make necessary sacrifices to do them good.

*Sacrifice is a language of true love. It is a channel through which any other form of sacrifice must be routed for potency and effectiveness. Paul made a very powerful statement: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing." (I Corinthians 13:3). Just imagine that! It doesn't matter the gravity of the sacrificial act, if it's not carried out from a standpoint of genuine love that genuinely seeks the welfare of the beneficiaries, it is just a big waste.*‬

*Prayers*
LORD, help me to love others genuinely as You do at all times.

TOPIC: Beauty For Ugliness

"To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" Isaiah 61:3
‭‬‬
*Message*

Zion is God's special habitation, a glorious spiritual realm He enjoys sweet communion with His children. “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain." (Joel‬ ‭3:17). Hence, since God is a King of joy and perfection, nothing imperfect and ugly is permitted around His habitation.

As a believer, you are now the habitation of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:22) and can be rightly regarded as a spiritual Zion. Since you host the King of Glory, nothing unpleasant is permitted to thrive around you.

Perhaps there is something going on in your life right now that is making you sad. Maybe there is a seed of sorrow the enemy has planted in your life (in your family, your home, business, etc), you shouldn't helplessly fold your arms and accept a reality that is not ordained for you.

*Heaven, God's administrative headquarters, is devoid of ugliness. You also, being God's Temple here on earth, must insist on a reality adorned with bliss and beauty at all sides.*

*GOD is not glorified in sorrow but in joy and pleasantness. He is always ready to make you a source of Joy too.*

*Prayers*
In the name of Jesus, I uproot anything ugly and unpleasant planted by the enemy around me. As God's Zion, I live the rest of my life in joy and pleasantness, in Jesus Name. Amen.

TOPIC: Love, Lust, And Valentine's Day
‭‬‬
"Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment" Matthew 22: 37, 38

*Message*

Valentine's Day is usually deemed a day of love in different parts of the world. But considering the carnality a lot of folks have attached to it, it is always necessary to have conversations revolving around separating love and lust.

In the Bible, we saw a strong man, Samson, who was raised by God as a Deliverer of his people. Unfortunately, he was drawn by lust to a dangerous woman whom he thought he loved and ended up destroying his glorious destiny on the lap of an enemy whom he thought loved him (Judges chapter 13 - 16).

God is Love, and since we were created in His image and likeness, it follows that we are also creatures of love, created to love and receive love. We all have the innate desire to love (to give and show love to others), as well as to crave to receive love from others (to be shown love in return). This is a characteristic of a normal person created in God's image and likeness.

However, the error of many lies with where they go to seek love, and what they fall in love with. Hence, many are in problem today because they fall in love with dangerous persons and things that were designed by the evil devil to carry out his evil mission - to steal, to kill and destroy (John 10:10).

Problem arises when you fail to channel your love to the right One - the True Lover. You are configured to love God your Creator first and above any other, and to receive love from Him above anything else. When you are saturated with God's Love and you find pure fulfillment inside of Him alone, it guides how you give love to those around you, and you are directed to like only the things He permits (which won't be harmful to you)

You can explore love inside of God (which is what you are destined to do) through faith in Jesus Christ. As you embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, He sends a tangible Lover to your life - the Holy Spirit. As you grow in love with Him, He empowers you to keep attending to the business of love in the right way.

Stop seeking pleasure from sinful and harmful persons and places and things. They are polluted counterfeits of the original thing - that you enjoy pure pleasure in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. I'm inviting you into this peaceful life, as you surrender your life to Jesus today.

Prayers
Help me dear LORD to love You above everything else.

TOPIC: He Doesn't Entertain Rivalry (Part 3)
‭‬‬
for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus‬ ‭34:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

*Message*

A lot of things surrounding the creation and establishment of mankind reveal the immense love of God towards these unique creatures. Whilst He only spoke other stuff into existence, the divine Godhead had to come together to carefully make Man in His image and likeness. Unlike His dealings with the angelic beings, He displays deep affection towards the humans, in spite of their limitations.

I'm wondering what the Angels would be pondering the first time they see the LORD moving in the full regalia of His Glory toward Adam's corner on earth for fellowship. They are probably shocked that their Fearful King is showing this much affection to these humans.

Thus, you can imagine how heartbreaking it was when Man gave what belongs to God (his trust, affection, loyalty, obedience, etc) to the devil. Since God won't condescend to the devil's low level in fighting for Man's attention, He simply asked Adam "Where are you" (Genesis 3:19)

In other words, Man, "Where lies your trust and faith, I or someone else?" "Where do you stand, on my side or elsewhere "?

*This is the same thing the Lord is asking us today. Where are you? What do you really trust and believe in? Some of us believe in our resources more than God. When some Christians feel sick, they first turn to their doctors! When some folks have issues, rather than first talking it out with the Lord, they first discuss it with other humans they believe can help them out. Stop making God jealous.*

*It's a good thing that God is jealously trying to prevent you from giving what belongs to Him to something else. This was something Lucifer never enjoyed, and he became eternally doomed. If God is punishing you in some way for idolatry (putting something or someone else above Him), then you are very fortunate. All you have to do is make amendments, and all will be well again.*

*Prayers*
Plead with the LORD to help reveal anything outside of Him that has become a god to you, and should cut off the same immediately.

TOPIC: He Doesn't Entertain Rivalry (Part 2)

"That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other;" Isaiah‬ 45:6 NKJV
‭‬‬
*Message*

When God informed His children that He is a jealous God (Exodus 20:5), the expression here is different from the sin of jealousy. In Galatians 5, from verse 19 when the Holy Spirit through Paul was highlighting the sinful works of the flesh, one of the things mentioned in verse 20 was "jealousies".

The sin of jealousy is when you are envious of another person who has something you do not have. But when it comes to God, He has everything and can never be deficient in anything good. He owns all things, and everything anyone has came from Him. So, He can't be jealous or envious because someone has something He wants or needs.

When you check the context of His proclamation, from verse four of Exodus chapter 20 to the fifth verse, He says:

*“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God...”*

*So, the issue here is when you give to another something that rightly belongs to Him. Whilst you might not have a graven image you bow to today like in those former times, if you worship or serve anything other than God (you place anything before Him, and you are always ready to satisfy anything or anyone else contrary to God's Will), you are still practicing idolatry and it is a sin.*

*God is possessive of the worship and service that belong to Him, and He is jealous when He sees you give what belongs to Him to another. This can be explained from the lenses of love because God can do without you.*

It is normal for a married person to be jealous seeing their spouse give the attention and affection that belongs to them to someone else outside their matrimonial home. Hence, God won't condone rivalry also, He wants you all to Himself. After all, He bought you with a price and redeemed you from eternal death. "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." (I Corinthians‬ ‭6:20).‬ ‭

*Prayers*
LORD, take away any idol that is taking what belongs to You from me.

Every February 14 is Valentine's Day. While it is being celebrated in different ways by different people, one general and famous word attached to the day is "Love". So, it is believed that the whole idea is to celebrate 'love". But that's where the problem lies. For many, when talking about love, they are actually referring to lust, infatuation, and sex.

This is why a lot of folks equate Valentine's Day to a day of sex galore. And of course, Valentine's Day has become a tool used by the devil to plunder immoral people on the bed of sexual immorality, and he gains access to "steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10)

The truth is, you can't know how to show love if you don't know Love. God is Love. So you must first know God (Love) before you can know how to express true love. If you are not for Christ and you keep swimming in sin, you can't know God (i.e have an intimate relationship with God), and whatever it is you are calling love is not true (you can't give what you don't have)

So, whenever I hear cases where people that claim to be in love are still hurting one another (cheating, heartbreaks, guys raping their girlfriend, etc), I'm not usually surprised. You can't give what you don't have. Your partner can't show you true love if he/she doesn't have an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ (because your partner doesn't know how to). Anything such a person is calling love is simply false. Yes, a scam. Your unbelieving partner can't help but break your heart, because his/her nature is still perverted and self-seeking. Only an intimate relationship with Jesus can get us transformed.

How You Can Avoid Defiling Yourself On Valentine's Day

The kingdom of darkness lavishly saturates the atmosphere every February 14th with lust (having understood the significance given to it by imperfect humans). Hence, a lot of people find themselves defiling themselves either intentionally or not.

God's Will concerning sexual pleasure is that all forms of sexual pleasure should be shared only between a married man and his female wife in the safe confines of their marriage institution, with no other party involved.

Anything else outside of this is wrong, sinful, and harmful.

God frowns at sexual immorality, and there are great repercussions attached to sexual sins. Don't have sex with your boyfriend/girlfriend or your fiance/fiancee until you get married to them. If you have planned such this Valentine's Day, God is giving you an opportunity to destroy such plans (it's not a mistake that you came across this article), to avoid regrets. If your boyfriend/girlfriend or fiance/fiancee is insisting on sex, it means they are only after your body, and are not God's Will for you (so, wisdom demands you break free from such a relationship).


To avoid defiling yourself, yield to God's word and avoid sin of any type. When you have an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ, you will always be determined to please Him and obey all His commands. Also, avoid people, places, situations, and things that can lure you into dipping your hands in something bad.

TOPIC: A Friend With A Knife

"They zealously court you, but for no good" Galatians 6:17‬‬

*Message*

A friend with a knife is a description of a person who portrays themselves as friendly towards you but who is aiming at stabbing you fatally at any given chance. They are enemies putting on the cloak of a friend who has your best interest at heart.

*In 2 Corinthians 11:14, Apostle Paul exclaimed: "And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." It is always a simple strategy that has proven potent again and again. It is easy for an enemy to infiltrate one's ranks when they make you embrace them as a friend since you are prone to let down your guards around them.*

In both verses 13 and 15 of that scripture, see what Paul said: ‭‭

*[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.*
*[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.*

In your spiritual community, there might be ministers of the devil who have transformed themselves into ministers of light with a mischievous purpose. This should explain why you see some spiritual leaders feeding the congregation with destructive doctrines and philosophies after earning the trust of the people.

This should explain why you see some leaders molesting members of a congregation after working hard to build a reputation amongst them. They are enemies portraying themselves as our friends but are positioned to fatally stab when not watched.

Around you, right now, you might have unknown enemies that you thought were good friends. They might be a colleague of yours, a leader over you, etc. One thing is sure, they act like they love and care about you. They are actually mischievous, gathering as much information as they can get before they strike.

Hence, it is necessary to ask the LORD to expose such persons and get them disgraced.

*Prayer*
LORD, expose my enemies acting like my friends and cause a separation between us.

TOPIC: Sure Way To Success

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‬
‬
*Message*

Success is relative, but we have a measure of similarity as far as certain natural desired expectations are concerned, either individually or as a society. In other words, while the definition of success differs from person to person, and from society to society, we all aim towards certain specific results in life and destiny.

One thing we should always remember is that God, our Creator, is delightfully inclined toward helping us succeed in our endeavors. A good proof revolves around the fact that there are several parts of Scripture that gives light that guarantees success. One of them is Joshua‬ ‭1:8 -

*"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."*

You can also see Deuteronomy 28:13 where the LORD Himself promised to make His children the head and not the tail. It was established that for this to become a reality, you must *"heed the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today, and be careful to observe them"*

*Success is pleasing God by doing His Will for your life. What the enemy does is to try as much as possible to influence your flesh to go contrary to the Will of God, and make you comfortable with results obtained outside of God's Will for you. The enemy wants you to live a substandard lifestyle because he has been subjected to an inferior lifestyle many years ago, and that's what he can relate to.*

If the devil fails in preventing you from going against God's Will, you are victorious indeed.

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD for grace to only seek to thrive within the confines of His perfect Will for you.

TOPIC: Enjoy Loving God

"Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment" Matthew 22: 37, 38
‭‬‬
*Message*

While there are several things to give your full attention and affection to, you will do yourself a lot of good for all of eternity if you invest your attention and affection in growing in love for God. Your day is productive if you are sure you took intentional steps towards growing in love with HIM, and you actually got closer to your Loving Creator.

We can barely do something eternally significant without the help of the Holy Spirit, and this is no exception. A lot of folks are trying to love God via the zeal of the flesh, but they keep getting exhausted and worn out, for obvious reasons. This is why many from different pages of history invented religion, trying to make use of religion to exhibit love to God - but they keep getting Him irritated instead.

There is a Way God wants to be loved. The first thing is to embrace His own Love - Jesus Christ, and the divine blessing of the Holy Spirit guides you on God's pathway of Love.

*Loving God and growing in love for Him is fulfilling. There is a very unique nourishment meant for the human soul that can only be obtained from sweet fellowship with the LORD in love. Before the end of today, be sure that you've grown some inches in your love walk with Jesus.*

*Prayer*
LORD, help me grow in love with You. Amen.

TOPIC: Fruits Ahead Of Gifts

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22, 23

*Message*

The Christian faith can be an unending cycle of bliss and adventure. This is easily made possible via the availability of divine tokens embedded in the Life we received upon surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus. So, we receive the Holy Spirit and can give manifestations to His supernatural gifts:

*"for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, [10] to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. [11] But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills."*‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12:8‭-‬11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

However, as beautiful as these spectacular abilities and experiences are, just a few verses later, the Holy Spirit, through Apostle Paul, would take our attention towards the direction of "a more excellent way" (Vs 31) characterized by love and good characters.

The point is simple. Spiritual gifts are powerful, but the fruits of the Spirit should be given greater priority and importance, as they are more valuable than gifts.

As Christians, we are to be like Jesus Christ who excelled in character and love. One easy way to bring this into realization is by living a lifestyle that exhibits the fruits of the Spirit.

*"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22, 23*

This is one of the major trademarks of a genuine child of God. When the fruits keep finding expression in you, you please God the more and get closer to Him.

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD to help you give greater expression to the fruits of the Spirit in your daily interactions with society.

TOPIC: Wisdom To Choose The Right Companions

"They zealously court you, but for no good" Galatians 6:17

*Message*

It's a good thing to enjoy being loved, being showered with love, and admired by others. A healthy human is meant to associate with others and have companions of different classes that they can do life and destiny with. Even Jesus had His closest companions (Luke 6:12-16; Matthew 17:1) who loved Him vehemently and would eventually die for the sake of His vision.

However, if we should be realistic, then we will agree that not everyone coming around us actually has good intentions towards us. Out of every twelve, there is usually at least one Judas Iscariot who is hanging around you for mischievous and selfish reasons. At times, such persons could have evil aims and can cause serious damage if they have the chance.

Judas came from Judea, just like Jesus, and because of this, no one would have expected him to be the one to betray Him. But hey, that's humans for you. The human mind is very deep. The average human is a great actor who can conveniently pretend to be what they are not. Someone can hate you vehemently and for many years, keep acting like your best friend and successfully pretend to have your best interest at heart when they are only after your downfall.

*Hence, you need God's help when it comes to choosing those you will allow into the circle of your closest companions. You need wisdom in identifying a person beyond what they portray themselves to be, so you won't be ignorantly dealing with an enemy posing as a friend - which is very dangerous.*

*Prayer*
LORD, give me the wisdom I need to see people beyond what they portray themselves to be outwardly.

TOPIC: Taking Advantage Of The Supernatural

"Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world" Galatians 4:3
‬‬
*Message*

It is catastrophic to refuse to grow. If a child refuses to grow, the child is not only hurting its parents but is also exposing itself to constant health dangers. This is one good reason the mother Eagle ensures her eaglets are pressured into quickly evolving from a baby lifestyle to a mature lifestyle as soon as possible. A baby Eagle won't only fail to maximize its potential in that immature state, but is also at risk of being preyed upon.

As a child of God, God is delightful seeing you grow, and you hurt Him when you refuse to leave a babyhood level. But, you see, it's majorly for your own good to embrace growth. A baby believer will struggle to become all that God has destined them to be.

*Now, see this. The world has its corrupted systems (both physical and spiritual), principles (both physical and spiritual), and structures (both physical and spiritual). A person can't fulfill destiny when they operate solely under the world's restrictive and corrupt atmosphere. You must latch upon the offerings of the supernatural realm while still on earth to have an advantage over the earthly realm.*

So, you see a fine Christian who is still a baby in Christ and is still operating under the restrictive boundaries of this corrupt world. Such will keep experiencing some forms of hardship in the things that matter. They will keep struggling for things that should easily be theirs only if they have grown into maturity in Christ, to the stature where they can easily operate from the supernatural realm.

*God's Will for us is that the supernatural becomes natural for us. This is made possible as we decide to give ourselves fully to the LORD and allow Him to take control of all aspects of our lives. Give it all to JESUS, and no longer withhold anything.*

*Prayers*
LORD, help me embrace the lifestyle of the supernatural

TOPIC: The First Time He Took A Cigarette
‬‬
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6:20‬ ‭NKJV
‬
Message

There is someone I used to know, a man who was vehemently addicted to smoking and taking alcoholic drinks. He helplessly spent a lot of money every day just to tend to his addictions, so much so that his family (his wife and children) struggled to live a good life.

After some time, he started getting sick, and upon being diagnosed, it was obvious that his addictions had started affecting his internal organs. Unfortunately, he was so addicted that even while dying each day, he couldn't stop smoking and drinking, till he died.

Upon reflecting on the incident, I started imagining the very first time he probably took a cigarette. It would have been exciting and he would have been thrilled with his newly found adventure. Obviously, he won't have imagined that in years to come, he would become a slave to his addictions, and will slowly watch how what he loved sucks life away from his body. On the day of his death, he might have looked back to the very first day he took his first cigarette and alcohol, and wished he had turned it down when offered. But it was too late.

When you see an addict, there is always a first time he or she tried that thing. There is always a first time. The first time, they won't have imagined the extent of the damage they will wreak on their bodies shortly.

The first time you are introduced to something sinful, it always seems pleasurable and enjoyable. It might be sexual immorality, taking what's not yours, telling a lie, injecting harmful substances into your body, etc. Your fallen flesh craves for more, and the pleasures deaden your senses of reasoning and conscience. You soon gravitate into a state of addiction, and you become a slave to what gives you sinful pleasure.

Unfortunately, the wicked devil utilizes your sinful addictions to actualize his cruel aims - to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). He steals a person's identity, strength, peace and wellbeing, etc. He kills the person by causing a separation between them and God (who is our Creator and Source) before dumping such into their premature grave (since such a person has given him the access to spoil their life by slipping away from under God's hedge of protection). He destroys such an individual by getting them ruined eternally in hell.

The first time you do something sinful and you enjoy the pleasure, know that this could only be the beginning of a journey into a nasty addiction that you will regret eventually. Whenever you have the choice to do something sinful and wrong, let the thoughts of the terrible implications advise you to ignore such.

And if you are currently addicted to anything bad and harmful, run to Jesus today and ask for His help.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, help me to not embrace a lifestyle that leads to destruction.

TOPIC: What Is Restricting You From Destiny?

"Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world" Galatians 4:3
‬‬
*Message*

There is a lifestyle that is still in bondage under the elements of the world, and, unfortunately, this is what a large chunk of people in different parts of the world can currently relate to. Such life is helplessly constrained to the world's limited systems and structures and finds it impossible to explore beyond the surface.

Can you imagine an Eagle in chains and caged? Such will definitely grow in misery every single day. This is because, despite its innate energy that will keep propelling the bird to explore the skies, it helplessly remains restricted by those restrictive elements that seem too strong - the chains and the cage.

Same thing here. Every human created by God has the innate potential to be above the earth's imperfect systems and structures. Unfortunately, many are still in bondage under the elements of the world.

There are various contexts to interpret this. In many parts of the world, the economic policies governing the society were intentionally configured to hinder the average person from experiencing true prosperity in their lifetime. Hence, for many individuals, while there is an innate desire to explore destiny beyond the surface level of this world, they find themselves hindered by the imperfect economic system of society, and they die without actualizing any of their divine dreams.

We can also talk about folks who are hindered from fulfilling destiny by curses and spells, diseases, different bodily ailments, etc. Many things in our world have been empowered by darkness to limit people from maximizing their full potential and soaring beyond this material existence.

*Hence, you must walk in tandem with the Lord to continue living within the context of a reality of perpetual freedom from any type of bondage that has placed humans under the terrible elements of the world system.*

*Prayers*
In the name of Jesus, I become all that the LORD has destined me to be.

TOPIC: What If My Life Didn't Turn Out Well?

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‬

*Message*

The average human has a phobia of failure and hates to fail. Of course, there are various ways to explain the reason for this. First, originally, failure wasn't embedded in the DNA of humans, as we were destined to operate in the class of the Divine. Humans only started knowing what failure looks like after the Fall in the Garden of Eden; after sin re-engineered the DNA of mankind by quietly weakening our strength (Isaiah 14:12).

Also, we must admit that society finds failure repulsive, either directly or indirectly. Hence, failure attracts all manner of negativity that ensures misery.

The good thing is that you can be 100 percent certain that you will never end up a failure in life, as a child of God. You know it is never in God's Will that you should become miserable, and you can always trust Him who knows the end from the beginning (Revelation 1:8; 22:13).

*In Christ Jesus, yours is a glorious adventure, and your life will soar from glory to glory. Since you are seated with Christ in heaven places (Ephesians 2:6), it doesn't matter what the economy of your region is like, you will keep flourishing "like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruits in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." (Psalms 1:3).*

One of the things you will start doing is to go into society and show love to those folks whom society has labeled a failure. You will exert influence over them and let the glory of God upon you drive them also into God's kingdom. There, they will throw off their prison clothes and put on their destined identity - kings and priests (Revelation 1:6).

*Prayers*
In the name of Jesus, since it's settled that I won't end up a failure in life, I'm empowered to change the destiny of folks around me whom society has labeled a failure.

"And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today, and be careful to observe them" Deuteronomy 28:13
‭‬
*Message*

GOD is a Great God, at all sides and in all ways. He not only does great things, but He thinks great thoughts, and He has great plans for every single one of His children, including you. In His great plans for us, it has been settled that our latter shall be greater than our previous and current realities (Job 8:7; Haggai 2:9).

Since God's greatest desire for you is to be great in His sight, You should not settle for less in all of your endeavors. You should not shortchange God's dealings with you for humans' applause and recognition. No contrary offer from humans can be compared with the bliss of being attested by God Himself as you flourish in His perfect Will for your life (Matthew 3:17).

The Will of God your Creator is that you should be the head and always at the top of your game - in your industry, in your calling/assignment, in your career, etc. Hence, you must never embrace mediocrity and complacency at all.

*It is important to always remember that it is GOD who makes people great with ease (without having to burn yourself out). You will agree with me that there are several so-called successful people out there today who attained their heights at the expense of other important things - sacrificing their family, health, etc. But when God is the one placing you in the position of the Greats, you are bound to enjoy bliss all around you, and won't have to experience sorrow from other important things neglected.*
