QUOTE FOR THE DAY
If you must win the crown prepared for the saints, you must not but always bear the cross. You can't neglect the shame of bearing the cross and still win the crown!!!
************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV).
________________________________
As a pilgrim passing through this earth you have a cross to bear. If Jesus must bear the cross to be the author of our salvation, we cannot but also bear the cross too with the crown prepared for us.

Since there is a crown for me and you; let us try to bear the cross until the sun of life goes down.

Bearing the cross is not living in abject poverty or living in penury, it is not living in sickness or being entangled with various troubles of life. But living a life that submits to God's will irrespective of whatever betide you. It also has to do with accepting the resultant or the aftermath of your choice to do the will of God.

The Lord will always want to validate how much you love and reference Him as you proceed on the pathway of destiny. In the face of some situation that is regarded as shame to the perishing world and those ones that makes you burdened down with load of care; keep walking in the straight narrow way as you move on with patient bearing the cross.

You can't win the world and still win the crown. The crown does not belong to those who compromise at every slight opportunity to bear the cross.

Everything in life may not be important but to do the will of God is a must for every one who desires to win the crown and reign with Him eternally.

The Lord will strengthen your heart to bear the cross to win the crown in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Splendid Friday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Life has proven over the time that the real satisfaction cannot be derived from what the eyes can see. No matter how wonderful the glory of this world appears to be; it comes with a fading beauty and the fear of losing it!!!
************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."" (John 4:13-14 NKJV).
________________________________
At the breaking of each day we try as much as possible to seek to satisfy our thirst in various aspects of life. The traffic on the road each morning speaks much on the desire of men to seek the glory of this world.

By principle, whatever you seek you will find; everything being equal (Matt7:cool. Irrespective of whatever you find in all your pursuit you will always want more. Jesus said; "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again". Satisfaction can only be gotten exclusively from God who is the creator of all things.

In Luke 12:16-21, Jesus gave an illustration of a rich man who gathered alot of things for himself; as far as he was concerned he was making provision for his future but forgot to make provision for death and eternity.

No man can make provision for everything he needs in life; you need God to find the required rest and satisfaction for your soul.

The Lord is not ignorant of your thirst; he knows what is best for you at every point in time. He is the ever present help in the time of need. Don't spend your useful years seeking only for what does not satisfy.

As you respond to His request "Give Me a drink" He will make your life a fountain of living water. Despite the fact that there are several waters around you; always make yourself available to eat the living bread and to drink from the living water that gives eternal life.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Beautiful Thursday!!!

Understanding the gift of God begins with submitting yourself to Him. Men who truly know the real purpose of living invest their entire life in kingdom investment !!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink," you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."" (John 4:10).
________________________________
He who created all things own all things. Our God is self-sufficient. The intention of the Lord for asking for your life, time and other wonderful virtue of life is to secure it from the evil one.

Whatever a man keeps away from God will eventually be lost and forgotten. The wisdom of this world admonishes men not to absolutely depend on God. It becloud a man's sense of reasoning in knowing the gift of God.

Today, a man can choose to steal, commit adultery, ignore having fellowship with God or engages himself in one sin or the other just to satisfy his thirst (needs - Job, financial challenge, evil desires). Many find it difficult to believe that the gift of God through salvation is all they need to be satisfied in life.

"Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?" (Matt 19:27). It is possible that you are also asking this questions silently in your heart that what do you stand to gain by giving your life to God!

There is an eternal life for any man from whose life the Lord finds satisfaction in various affairs of life (Matt 19:29-30). There are those who are first that will be last just because they fail to live to fulfill His purpose.

Give your best to the master and live to fulfill His purpose while living. Every cup of cold water given in His name will bring a great reward.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Prosperous Wednesday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The offering of your life to God is the best way to secure your life and destiny. The beauty of living is to live for Him and be productive on His behalf in every aspect of life!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."" (John 4:7 NKJV).
______________________________
The Lord who planted you did that for a purpose. He wants to drink from your life. He wants you to be a fountain of living water which is able to water as many souls as possible.

The most important principle behind every increase is making offerings in various aspect of life. The Lord wants everyone of us to offer ourselves to Him so that we can be usable instruments for Him.

Just like the Samaritan woman, we go to and fro of life seeking to satisfy our thirst in various aspects of life. It is out of what we get that the Lord is asking "Give me a drink". Irrespective of what you do for a living the ultimate desire of the Lord is that it should profit His kingdom. Whatever you are doing that will not bring the desired increase to His kingdom is a waste in His presence.

Not everybody is called to be a pastor that will preach on the pulpit or a missionary in a remote village. Out of that which you do on daily basis the Lord is saying "Give me a drink".

Are you a Doctor, Teacher, Lecturer, Banker, Lawyer, Accountant, Apprentice, Musician, Artist, Artisan, Journalist or Professional in your own field of Career, Jesus is saying "Give me a Drink" Don't live your entire life looking for bread and water to satisfy your thirst alone. If you are always in contact with people; definitely you have a ministry.

Give your best to the Saviour even as you make remarkable impact in your field of career.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Gracious Month Ahead!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
In every favourable situation and adversity in life; it is proper for every child of God to belief the fact that the Lord knows what is best for him/her!!!

******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)
________________________
The intention of the Lord over all his creation is for good and not of evil. Irrespective of the situation we find ourselves as humans we must always understand the fact that we have limited knowledge about various things surrounding our lives.

The Lord is the author and the designer of our destiny. He knows what is best for us. Do not fret yourself no matter what comes your way but put your trust in Him.

Sometimes a man can be faced with problems and seems there is no way through. He may worry over the future and don't know what to do. In the midst of anxious desires and life's depression, keep your faith in the one who knows what is best for you.

There are men who find themselves in the valley of life where the glory of God seems to be obscured. Their pathway seems dark and dearly with no iota of hope of a glorious future. However, God lifted them out of the horrible pit of life and made them to walk on their high places. When they looked back through the way they've been through, they were able to testify to the fact that it was actually the hands of God's mercy that led them all through.

As you face the future, know that, it is not going to be that easy walking through the narrow path as a child of God who earnestly desires to do His will. The path may be tough and grow dim just keep trusting on God who is able to give sufficient grace to stand each trying test. Therefore, always move on with the assurance that He knows what is best for you.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Terrific Week Ahead!!!

Irrespective of what is happening in your life the fact still remains that, as far as God is concerned, everything is working to give you the desired expected end!!!

*******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"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. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jer 29:11-13 NKJV)
________________________
With God everything works. Man only needs to align his life in the direction of God's will for him. The desire of your heart will surely come to pass but will not in your own way. You are required to submit your life to God.

The Lord spoke to the children of Israel while they were still in exile that his thoughts for them is for good and not for evil. He allowed the enemy to burn down their cities and farm land, kill most of their people and take them away from their own land to live in the land of captivity. Yet, despite all these, the Lord said His thought towards them is not of evil but to give them an expected end.

I don't know what you are passing through and how life has been treating you. The most important thing that is constant is that; the intention of God over your life is to give you that very expected end of your desire.

The purpose of the experience you are having may just be to teach your hand to war. Sometimes it may be to lead you through the right part of life or to make you have the right orientation for the required character to carry your future.

The Lord took the Israelites to exile to make them know by experience the consequence of sin. They also passed through the wilderness to know that man does not live by bread alone. You don't need to be offended nor take steps away from God's will for your life. Rather, make yourself available for the dealings of the Lord and patiently wait on Him to do His good pleasure in your life.

Seeking the Lord properly over your life financially, academically, spiritually, maritally and various aspect of life is what will bring His plans to accomplishment in your life.

The Lord will bring His purpose to pass in your life in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Magnificent Worship Experience!!!

Everything that works in the life of a man works because the Lord has declared it to work. This is the secret behind every intention and heart desires coming to reality!!!

******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty." (Zechariah 4:6 NIV)
________________________
The Lord is the Almighty over every affairs of life. Everything you are and whatever you will be will always be at His command.

It is not enough for a man to have strength; we all need divine enablement to implement our heart desires. When Jesus was teaching His disciples how to pray he taught them to pray down the will of God just as it is in Heaven. There is a spiritual aspect of every situation of life. Acknowledging God in the affairs of your life is paramount to becoming successful in whatever you do.

"The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing" (Psalm 34:10). The mystery of life is seen in the fact that irrespective of the strength a man possesses there is something he lacks. There are people who are synonymous to lion; they have wonderful things of life like riches, fame, connections, influence etc. but still lack and suffer hunger in many aspects of life.

In the actual sense, nothing in life is enough but God alone. Whatever you desire in life will only be possible through God alone. Place your struggles under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Save your time, life and effort by allowing God to work out His good pleasure in your life.

The affairs of your life will not lack divine intervention in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Wonderful Weekend!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Human strength will not but fail. Finding strength in God at every point in time is the most effective approach to remain relevant in various affairs of life!!!

*****************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."(Isaiah 40:30-31 NKJV)
________________________
No matter how great the strength of a man may be, he stands the chance to fail at any point in time. Only a foolish man will trust his entire life on the arm of the flesh.

The word of God from our text is making it known to us that; men who have strength will come to a junction where the strength they think they have will not be relevant. At that very junction, they will be weary and become faint hearted as a result of unforeseen life challenges. They will also come to a point where every support they have around themselves will fail and eventually make them fall. Every man who fails to acknowledge God in all his ways is a confirmed failure.

The man called Samson was relevant in God's purpose until he took the grace of God for granted. He was eaten up by the success he has been having and forgot his consecration and commitment to God.

I don't know the type of strength you have that keep you away from fellowship, prayer, godly relationship and your place of consecration. The message coming to you is that powerful men shall faint and be weary; they will also fall; the only antidote is waiting on God.

Waiting on God is the only way to overcoming future challenges. The Lord does not take pleasure in whatever will take you away from Him. Come unto Him and learn from Him; the very best you will get from Him at every point in time is the required strength for coming days.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Refreshed Friday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
What makes a good husband is his ability to live successfully and considerately with his wife. The true beauty of a woman will remain recessive until the man of her life knows how to manage her weakness!!!

******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. (1Peter 3:7 NKJV)
________________________
When the right woman comes into a man's life that is when his life becomes complete. It is imperative for every man to honour his own wife simply because they both share the same joint account in God's presence. Therefore, a man who neglects his wife neglects his mercy.

A woman is regarded as a weaker vessel not in terms of strength, intellect, ability etc. but because of the fact that they are created to complement the man in various aspects of life. The presence of a man in their lives is what gives them identity.

One of the special virtues of a godly wife is the possession of both spiritual and physical womb. Their weakness is identified in the fact that they need the seed from the man to bear the required offspring. The type of offspring she will produce depends on the man. You will definitely reap in multiple fold whatever you sow in her.

Every man must come to understand the fact that they are easily manipulated in the atmosphere of love. The key to make her into what you really desire is love and not force. As a man your seed remains a seed until a woman takes the burden and responsibility to bring it into offspring.

Take the advantage of the fact that they are flexible, bendable and can be configured into any image of your desire. You are required to love, care, cherish and honour her. This is the only way to be a Lord over them. As a woman treat your man as a lord; removing "MAN" from the word "WOMAN" become "WO" (which is a noise). Ultimately, always allow the Lord to have His way in your life.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Whatever you get outside God's will for your life can never give you the desired rest!!!

******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." (Psalm 62:1-2 NIV)
________________________
The Joy, peace and prosperity you need for a successful life is found in God alone. It is in Him that you can get the true blessing of life. Every true wise man will remain in God and wait upon Him for everything he desires.

There is a master plan for your life; your creation was never your idea but a deliberate act of the almighty God. The One who created all things can freely give to anyone He pleases. Seeking your needs outside God is much more like settling for counterfeit.

"Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them. One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done." (Ps. 62:8-12)

Make every effort to always submit your life to God who has the final say over every issue of life. Until you acknowledge Him in all your ways; you are actually doing nothing. If you are the work of His hands he will never leave nor forsake you. Your soul will only find rest in Him if you trust and remain in Him.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The battle in the life of a man will continue until he receives pardon for his sins. The mercy of God precedes every victory in life's battles!!!

*******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Comfort, yes, comfort My people!" Says your God. Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, That her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the Lord's hand Double for all her sins."(Isaiah 40:1-2 NKJV)
________________________
There is no curse without a cause. The battle of sin is the most effective warfare in the life of a man. Most of the troubles we face today is a product of those things we fail to do in the right way (God's own way).

Many of us know what is right and the expectation of God over our lives as we proceed on the pathway of destiny; but we often refuse to obey Him. We live our lives according to the pattern of our sinful desires which most of the time causes us more troubles in various aspects of life.

The message in our text today is coming to the people of Jerusalem in captivity. Despite the fact that they were being punished for their sins the Lord did not forget nor forsake them. In an attempt to restore them he sent a message of comfort to them.

The same message is coming to you also; irrespective of how you have lived your life so far, the Lord has not forsaken nor forgotten you. You are the work of His hand and His ultimate desire is for you to find rest for your soul in Him. If only you can just heed to His call your sins will be forgiven and your warfare will come to an end (Matthew 11:28).

The Lord is speaking to someone reading this digest at this point in time that there is already a provision for the pardon for your sins: the Lord has declared your comfort -"Your warfare is ended" Don't waste any more time just come to Him now!

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
A man is not saved until he surrenders his life to Christ and seeks the righteousness that comes from Him!!!

*******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousness is like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."(Isaiah 64:6 NKJV)
________________________
Many men, out of the fear of eternal condemnation gave their life to Christ; many others did the same because of the storm ranging over their lives which they want the Lord to calm for them. Some came in search of miracles or even for protective cover over their lives, families and destinies.

Most people even after they claimed to have given their lives to Him, do not allow Him to be their Lord. They continue with their usual lifestyle and never bother to seek the righteousness that comes from Him. They make several decisions based on their own facts and assumptions with no regard for God's will in the various aspect of life.

Their ultimate interest is to use the Lord to achieve their aims. They possess some degree of self-righteousness; they attend church services, engage in various spiritual activities but their righteousness is regarded as filthy rags because they never submitted to God's will by having Christ as their Lord.

As soon as a man becomes born-again; he has been crucified with Christ; he no longer lives, but Christ lives in him; and the life he now lives in the flesh he lives by the faith in the Son of God, who died and gave Himself for him (Gal 2: 20).

The righteousness required of you by God is the righteousness of Christ. No man can live righteously except Christ does it inside of Him. It is Him inside of us that can please God. Every human being irrespective of what he stands for can never please God except Christ lives in Him. Allow the Lord to rule over the affairs of your life by living by the spirit (Gal 5:16).

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

If your blood cannot be used for the atonement of the sin of men; you have no right to take the judge's stand over them nor call them the "Brood of vipers"!!!

*******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV)
________________________
It is only God that can draw men to Himself. It takes the mercy of God to be saved. Those who are yet to be saved have not received the mercy of God.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy (1Peter 2:9). You are just fortunate to be saved.

Whatever the case may be with the men around you the best you can do is to pray for them; don't judge them. The only one who has the right to judge them is the one who died for their sins. There are men out there who will serve God more faithfully even much more than what you can do if only God will just illuminate their lives.

When Stephen was killed, he prayed for those who killed him; the aftermath of his prayer was the emergence of Paul who did great exploits for the course of the Lord. If we can look back to while we were still sinners; we didn't actually know what we were doing. It was the grace of God that made us what we are in Him.

Are you still living in Sin? How long will you continue to neglect His mercy over your life? It is true that no man has the right to judge you but the consequence of every sin you commit is coming directly on you. Accept this mercy made readily available for you and take your rightful place in God's purpose.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

If your waiting on God will not be a waste; you must always acknowledge Him in all your ways. Waiting properly on Him is inevitable to receiving every divine blessings!!!

*****************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverb 3:5-6 NKJV)
________________________
It is not enough to wait on God and to believe on Him to fulfil His promises in our lives; we must live our life according to the pattern of His will for us.

A man who chooses to act contrary to His will is not waiting on Him. If it is God you are waiting upon, you must acknowledge Him in all your ways. You can't be living to please yourself (sinful nature) and still claim His blessings.

It is not as if the Lord takes pleasure in delaying the blessing of His children. To Him, there is nothing called delay but an appointed time. There is status in Him he expects our lives to attain before releasing the required grace to receive the blessing. He is interested in men of character whose faith can stand the test of time. Therefore, you must cooperate with Him to work out His good pleasure in your life.

The Lord is not ignorant of your ways, motives and the nature of your heart even as you fellowship with other brethren. Don't play games with your creator; it is a game you can never win. You must acknowledge Him and always seek to establish His kingdom above all other things in your life. Doing this will bring other things to your life else you are only waiting, serving and worshiping God in vain.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The best way to approach every unfortunate situation of life is to rejoice in God your Salvation. Keeping your faith alive in God can make you to walk on your high places!!!

*******************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls--Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills." (Habakkuk 3:19 NKJV)
________________________
Genuine faith is identified when you believe God can still make you to walk on your high places even in the midst of various disappointments.

Habakkuk looked around him and saw that most of his expectations were not met. The fig tree did not blossom not to talk of producing fruit. All his labour does not measure up because there was nothing to show for it both in the field and on the vine. It is possible that he saw the fig tree of those around him blossoming, several fruit on their vines and flocks in their fold.

However, he rejoiced in what God could do for him. He did not forget the fact that the fig tree had been blossoming in the time past. He looked with the eyes of faith seeing himself walking in his High places.

Are you disappointed with various situation around you? Is it that you have laboured and there is nothing to show for it? Didn't you see God doing those things you are earnestly praying for on daily basis in the lives of those around you? The Lord is not ignorant of your plight.

Keep your faith alive and rejoice in God your salvation. Your faith determines your experience as well as the strength you need to forge ahead unto your high places.

The Lord will make your feet like deer's feet and make you walk on your high places in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Irrespective of whatever you feel about God; it does not change the fact that He walks and works in mysterious ways!!!

**********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord .” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord , but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice."(1King 19:11-12 NKJV)
______________________________
It is not of man to determine the move of God. We only need to position ourselves in the direction of His move.

The best prayer to pray at every point in time is that God should have His way in every aspect of our lives. One day a preacher out of his zeal said; "if the Holy Spirit refuses to move; He will move the Holy Spirit. We can never be wise like the Omniscience God.

His ways are different from ours. Many a times we always define how the Lord will work out His good pleasure in our lives. Some expects Him to move like a wind, earthquakes, fire and in moving of waters. However, He always move in ways beyond human comprehension.

Jesus came to the pool of Bethesda but the sick people there did not recognise Him because they were expecting the moving of waters (John 5:2-9).

Many have missed their divine visitation because they fail to recognise the meek and the lowly path the Lord took to intervene on various issues of their lives. It is not the case that the Lord is ignorant of your plight despite your intense prayer. Maybe the solution your life needs is just for you to heed to that still small voice speaking softly and tenderly to take deliberate steps towards God’s will for your life.

May you never miss your divine visitation in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Sensational Wednesday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The test of patience is inevitable to receiving every divine blessing on the pathway of destiny. It is not enough to wait upon the Lord; what a man does while waiting on Him matters most!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." (James 1:2-4 NKJV).
________________________________
To be relevant in God's purpose, we will not but face trials. Those who have gone before us never received the crown without been tested.

Trials is an instrument in the hands of God to bring men to the end of themselves. He uses it to teach us the true and the real values of life; so that we can all come to the understanding of His ways and what He can do. He put the children of Israel to test just to prove to them that man does not live by bread alone.

Patience is an important virtue for any man who truly desires to follow the Lord. Abraham in the course of waiting for God's promise lost patience and begat Ishmael; who is a torn in the flesh of the entire human race today. He almost lose out in God's purpose except for God's mercy.

It is not as if the Lord cannot answer your prayers nor is He ignorant of your commitment towards Him but He is trying to see how patient you can be in shaping your life to have the required character to fit into His divine purpose on earth.

Those men who fulfilled their destiny were the ones who waited upon Him to acquire enough strength to surmount every challenge confronting them.

When things seem to fall apart and situation of life tends to mount pressure on you; still wait upon Him. It is in waiting on Him that your life will be made perfect.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!
Have an Impressive Tuesday!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Walking with the Lord in the light of His word is the only sure way to happiness in Jesus. The purpose of the investment of the Lord over your life is that your joy may be full!!!

************************

BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"And these things we write to you that your joy may be full"(1John 1:4).
________________________________

There is a possibility of finding joy in wrong doings. It is an understatement to say there is no pleasure in sin. The only way to experience the fullness of joy is to obey the Lord.

The essence of the word of God coming to you on daily basis is that your joy may be full. A man can possess several wonderful things of life but joy belongs to God. Men who gathered several things of life for themselves have committed suicide on the account of various life challenges. What they have does not give them enough reasons to live on.

Many men, choose to disobey God and act contrary to His will in every bid to satisfy their desires. They thought they can derive the joy they need from their ways only to discover that it adds more sorrow to their lives.

There are some troubles of life that will naturally not come your way if you submit yourself to God. The joy and the very peace you so much desire is embedded in God's will presented to you every point in time. Again, don't sacrifice your peace, joy,fulfillment and the precious plan of God for your life on the altar of disobedience.

The Lord will give you grace to walk in His ways for the fullness of Joy in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Fulfilled Week Ahead!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
To every action there is a consequence; the Lord will never force His will on any man. Every man has a licence to choose life and enjoy the best of his days in Christ Jesus!!!
************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment. So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless." (Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 NIV).
________________________________
Despite the fact that God gave men "will" right from creation; He still admonishes us to live according to His will, because that is where our Joy and happiness lies.

Everything about a man's life will only fall in the rightful place if God is the driving force over his entire life.

The life of every young man is characterised by passion meant to help them to pursue their dreams and vision. The ultimate strength they have to influence their future is the power of choice. Don't allow anything to becloud your sense of reasoning. The only way to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey Him.

It is very true that you have the power to choose what to do, wear, the food to eat, wife, career, friends and lifestyle; however, the direct consequence of your choice is coming on you.

As a young man, what is your vision? On what do you squander your best strength? I beseech you to live for God now that you are young; it will preserve your life against the works of darkness! Many glorious days lies ahead of you. Again, don't sacrifice your glorious destiny, peace, Joy, grace and fulfilment on the altar of lust and sinful pleasure.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!
Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Don't mistake love for lust; every true love submits to God's will!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV).
________________________________
God is love; His attribute is the real definition of love. Therefore, anything that makes you to sin against God in the name of love is actually lust.

Every man lives with a passion but when your passion is taken over by the devil it becomes lust. The lust of the flesh and that of the eyes and pride of life is not of the Father but of the world (1John 2:15-16). Walking in the ways of the world deprives a man the love of the father meant to preserve him from perdition (John 3:16). Submit not yourself to the principle of the world but be zealous for God's will.

Nothing is actually perfect in life but things are made perfect in the atmosphere of true Love. We were once a sinner but the love of God brought us into His presence to become a heir of glorious inheritance in Christ Jesus.

You are bought with a price; a peculiar person in the hands of God. Don't sacrifice heritage on the altar of lust. True love exhibits the characteristics as stated in the bible text above.

Are you in any relationship? Always remember that it is only what God does that last forever. Do away with whatever makes you a sinner in the name of love. Allow the true virtue of God through love to find expression in your life.

May you never sacrifice your peace, joy, grace, heritage, fulfillment and liberty on the altar of lust in Jesus name. Amen!
Have a Delightful Weekend!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
A man is not victorious on the pathway of destiny until he learns to follow God in His steps. The Lord is the only shepherd you need to fulfill your days!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." (Psalms 119:133 KJV).
________________________________
You can be sure of one thing when the Lord orders your steps; you will always find yourself on the path of righteousness. This is the only way your life can be safe from various errors of life.

The Lord is ever ready to lead a man who truly wants to follow Him. If you will not lose out in destiny you must be ready to follow God at all cost in His steps.

The ways of the Lord will always bring a man to the end of himself (i.e. sinful nature and various limitations of life). It is the way of wisdom that leads to life eternal. If the destiny of a man will not fail; he must always make effort to always be on the Lord's side as He leads him through his journey in life.

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way." (Psalms 30:23). What makes you a good man is the ordering of your steps by God. It is on this basis that you can be a good reflection of His glory.

Irrespective of your experience in life; you cannot explain the mystery of destiny. What is working for a man today may not work in the next moment. Only those who are truly following the Lord will be relevant in their days. There are several green pastures and still waters only know to the shepherd of our souls.

Are you on the Lord's side and following Him in His steps? You are not successful until your life is free from iniquity. Submit yourself to God and allow Him to lead you as you proceed on the pathway of destiny.

Your destiny will not fail in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Superb Friday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Everything is all about God who is the author and the designer of our destinies. The right orientation to life is to know that your life is not all about what you possess but how much you live to fulfill your purpose!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. (Luke 12:15 NKJV).
________________________________
Everything in life started with God in the beginning therefore, everything is all about Him. All things are created by Him and for Him. Life is not about the creations but the creator.

God in a bid to teach the children of Israel the true value of life, took them through the wilderness to validate the fact that man does not live by bread alone. Through their journey, He fed them with manna, their shoes did not wear out neither did their feet swell and performed several miracles to prove his existence (Deut 8:1-7).

You indeed need bread to survive but life is not all about bread alone. If that is the case; what have you achieved in life after bread? Bread is meant to complement your life to achieve the real purpose of your creation.

The right approach to life is to live having the orientation that everything you are and will ever be, should always be to fulfill the purpose of God who is the alpha and the omega.

The devil will present stone to men as bread due to intense desire for bread in this age. When they turn stone to bread they will call it a miracle but doing the will of the devil in disguise. Don't spend your prime age looking for bread alone. Honour and humble yourself before God. Allow Him to take His rightful place in your life even as you take responsibility to confront every challenge standing before you.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Fulfilled Thursday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The secret behind every success is the mercy of God. When the mercy of God have not spoken on behalf of a man his struggles continue!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Look upon me, be merciful unto me, and show me favor, as is Your way to those who love Your name." (Psalms 119:132 AMP).
________________________________
Showing mercy to those who love the Lord is a tradition or a custom to Him. Most of the time, to receive the mercy of God is not about being qualified but a function of His favour and freewill.

You can live successfully without many things in life but not the mercy of God. There is a limit to which your strength, intellect, wisdom can take you. The man who is wise is the one that places all His effort and struggles under the mercy of God.

If you are not at the mercy of God then you will be at the mercy of men. It is a terrible thing to be at the mercy of men; they will subject any life to left over. As you proceed on the pathway of destiny always strive to seek for the mercy of God.

In this present age, the devil is trying to subdue as many as possible. It is only by God's mercy that you will not be consumed. Many are your desires; they will only come to pass through the mercy of God even as you try your best.

Who are the genius, clever, wise, brilliant and the wonderful people of life? Are they not the ones who have received the mercy of God? You can never be too blessed not to be in need of God's mercy.

There is a height your hand cannot touch, a place your eyes cannot see, a domain that you have no access to which the mercy of God can bring you. If as a man you are limited in certain areas of life, it is an indication that you need the mercy of God.

The Lord will look upon you at that very state you find yourself and be merciful to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Awesome Wednesday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Every sin against God is a sin against your destiny and His precious plan for your life. If your destiny will not fail you must overcome every temptation to sin!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9b NKJV).
________________________________
Among various things of life; only the will of God is compulsory. Everything about the life of a man will only fall in the rightful place if he succeeds in doing the will of God in every aspect of life.

The enemy is going to and fro just to fight against the dream and destiny of men. Temptation does not come the way of a man who has no specific destination in life. A man who has something serious to achieve in life will not but be tempted. If you so much desire to fulfill the plans and purpose of God for your life; establish the kingdom of God within your domain and reign eternally with the Lord; know that your temptations will be many.

Your success in life begins with the consciousness of God's will and purpose in your heart. The usefulness of whatever you become in life is the function of how much your life is relevant to the purpose of God on earth.

The kingdom of God is for overcomers. Those who overcome sin, flesh and worldliness. Who walk on the narrow path that leads to God's eternal abode. Those who bruise the head of the serpent.

What does the devil want to achieve with a slave like Joseph if not to destroy his destiny. Every man who sees every temptation to sin as an opportunity to enjoy his life is the greatest fool. Joseph overcame and he was able to preserve his dream, God's purpose and the blessing of those attached to his destiny. Repent today from every sin manipulating your destiny.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
There is nothing a man can have in life that can be enough. The only thing that is enough and self sufficient is God!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV).
________________________________
Every man is running on daily basis seeking to meet various needs in life. However, man has not come to the level of sufficiency despite every effort put in place. This is because the glory of the world always come with the fear of losing it. Those who lack seek to have and those who have seek for more.

There are houses, cars and several wonderful things of life that use to be a side attraction but obsolete and something to scorn. Have you ever come around an inscription tagged: "See Paris and die" Today no one is talking about Paris again. The glory of the world fades away with time.

No blessing is enough and worthy to make a man to ignore his God. He created you and whatsoever that can ever enter your mind. Irrespective of whatever you achieve in life, the fact still remains that you will return to your creator. We will leave all those things we spend most of our time and entire life to gather.

Every other things of life may not be sure but at least you are not ignorant of the fact that God is the almighty and there is none like Him. Many great men have come and gone but He remains God.

Obeying God by taking the right path of life can give your soul the rest and the satisfaction you need. Even as you go on with various activities of life; take the name of Jesus with you. Don't sacrifice your Joy and the peace you have with God on the account of ephemeral things of life.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The only guarantee for any man not to perish is to believe in Jesus Christ who gave Himself for the remission of our sins!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"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 NKJV).
________________________________
The penalty for every sin is death. God on the account of His love towards the entire human race gave His son to die in place of every man who sins. Therefore, He offers life in place of death for whosoever comes and gives his/her life to Him.

Whenever His blood speaks on behalf of a man; he receives pardon for his/her sins. Therefore, if we must have peace with God to dwell in His kingdom and reign with Him eternally we must listen to Him and obeys His words (Mat 17:5).

It is not enough to be born again, attend church services, engage in various spiritual activities or speak spiritual languages; It doesn't matter even if you are a pastor, share the words of God as am doing on daily basis or how long you've been in the service of God if you don't believe on the son of God you will eventually perish.

To believe in the son of God means to accept His words and live according to the principle in it. You cannot believe in Him and still live contrary to His words.

You must believe He is the way, the truth and the life (Jh 14:6) and His words or messages about Prayer, Sin, Divorce, oaths, Love for enemies, Adultery, Murder, fulfillment of the Law, you as salt and light of the world, Love for the world, attitude to needy, fasting, Treasures in Heaven, worries of life, Judging others, narrow and wide gate, wise and foolish builders, Faith, righteousness and Holiness. Your eternal destiny is not secured until you believe in Jesus Christ.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
When Love is at its best the parties involved will always want to have more. No man will ever abandon a place of love!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned." (Song of Songs 8:6-7 NIV).
________________________________
When true love has come to stay every other thing will give way for it. Love is the secret behind every healthy relationship.

The best strategy to winning men to yourself is showing love. It is the most important attribute that shows the true nature of God in the life of a man. No matter how terrible and wicked a man is; he can be won through love.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (1 Cor 13:4). Keep the flame of love alive in your relationships to make it blissful. It is the plan of God for every mankind to dwell in harmony and that every home should be a prototype of eternal bliss. This will only be possible through Love.

The right approach to love is to live with the orientation of what to give in love and not what to get from it. Don't subject your marital relationship to chance but give it what it deserves to make it more interesting.

Love is the missing link in every relationship seeking for separation. When love becomes sour the eyes of the parties involved will be open to various shortcomings that will lead to separation. Whatever the case maybe, the secret of living in peace is to be committed to showing love in every relationship you find yourself.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Love is not blind; it only closes the eyes of men. Every wise man will never take love for granted but will rather give it what it deserves to keep its flame alive!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]." (1 Peter 4:8 AMP).
________________________________
Life is beautiful when true love becomes the order of the day or the lifestyle of men. A man who cannot overlook the short comings in the lives of men cannot love according to the will of God.

The Lord who is the creator of all men is not ignorant of the weakness in the lives of His creation. Therefore, He commanded all men to love one another just to make up with the inadequacies in every individual's life. The fact that we are created for relationship shows that we need to be loved by others to complement our lives.

Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." (1 Cor 13:5). When true love becomes the order of the day, it appears as if it is blind; its flame burns every shortcomings due to its characteristics. However, when taken for granted, the flame dies a natural death and brings every shortcomings to lime light.

It is not enough to have a wonderful relationship; you must do everything possible to fan the flame of love to keep it lively. Don't be complacent with various inadequacies in your life but make effort through the help of God to get better in various aspect of life to make your life more attractive to people.

God is love; He gave His only son for the remission of our sins. He is still a consuming fire. If you don't want to perish; don't take His love for granted (Jn 3:16).

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The devil is less concerned about how glorious the decision of a man may be in his quest to follow God; His ultimate interest is that he doesn't go far in his walk with God to fulfill His good pleasure!!!

*****************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Pharaoh said, "I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the desert, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me." (Exodus 8:28 NIV).
________________________
The sole interest of the devil over all mankind is that they should eventually become his after their pilgrimage on earth. He may not hinder a man from accepting Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour but will never allow him to ever come to the point of sanctification.

His christian Journey may appear smooth with several religious activities but with a heart filled with guilt as a results of secret sin. The fact that he speaks spiritual language does not change the fact that he still lives according to the flesh; this is obvious in the sexual immorality, impurity, hatred, discord, jealousy, selfish ambition, envy and the likes which manifest in his life.

There is no life without its own master; every man listens to the one who has the ultimate influence in his life. Your lifestyle speaks much on whom your Lord is. Those who truly belong to God hates darkness and walk in light.

We are in a generation that loves darkness much more than light. You have to be resolute in your choice and decision to follow the Lord. Don't ever give in to what everybody is doing no matter how promising it may be but be zealous towards the will of God.

You cannot but be fanatical in every bid to serving the Lord faithfully in this present age. Every true son of the kingdom resists the devil to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.

The Lord will strengthen your heart to follow Him in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The only thing that will not come to an end is that which did not begin. The best way to live is to live your entire life with the end in view!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more." (Psalms 103:15-16 NIV).
_____________________________
Various life's situation has proven the fact that there is an end to every thing that begins. It shouldn't be a news to us but a reminder that our end will surely come in various aspect of life with respect to God's plan for our individual lives.

"Only a few years will pass before I go on the journey of no return." (Job 16:22). No man can be great forever; several great men have been laid to rest beneath the earth. They disappear just like a mist which appear but for a moment.

Don't be carried away by your strength, status, Job, position, intelect and wonderful possessions of life. There are people who used to have what you have and be where you are but today their deeds remains in the memory lane.

No matter how busy a man can be, he cannot be too busy to die on the day of His death. At the end of this wicked life of sorrow and vanity we will all face eternity.

However, there is a good place beyond the blue; it is called the place of the eternal king; its glorious gate shuts away sins. Things that are filthy can never attend it. Only the meek shall reach its ground; who worship the Lord with reverence and never submit to worldly pleasure. Those who are led by the spirit to walk in the narrow way. Do you think you will make it there? Now that the night shed has not fallen over you make best use of your opportunities to give your best to the Master.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
If you did not die before now then you are preserved to declare the glory and the works of God. The essence of your existence is to be a bearer of God's glory!!!

**********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"I shall not die but live, and shall declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord." (Psalms 118:17 AMP).
_____________________________
Most of the time, it takes a step to be either saved or destroyed on the pathway of destiny. The Lord is actually responsible for every situation called narrow escape. Those who where not saved were the ones whom the Lord did not save.

If you have been saved it is for a purpose. The reason why you have the right to live is for you to be a bearer of God's glory. The Lord will not but preserve the life of a man who declares His works.

Men have not seen God physically; they don't know if He is either tall or short, white or black. Many don't even believe that He exists. His existence to some people does not go beyond the written pages of the scripture. To some, He remains an abstract entity. People can only know Him if we all take the responsibility to live up to the essence of our creation through showing who He is by resembling Him in His attributes.

The presence of thieves, armed men, wicked souls, agent of darkness like witches and wizards creates the awareness of the presence and the effectiveness of the devil in the affairs of life.

The Lord is kind, gracious, merciful, powerful, glorious, wonderful, righteous and Holy. You are actually planted where you are to defend these attributes. The whole creation are expecting your manifestation in declaring His works. You are not created to be a devil incarnate but a child of God. Why should you continue to live?

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
A man who knows how to look back to make an account of God's goodness in his life will always find the required strength, hope and courage to face the challenges between him and his glorious future!!!

***********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalms 103:2-5 NIV).
______________________________
Irrespective of where you are, what you've achieved so far and your aspirations in life; the Lord has been so gracious to bring you this far. You cannot deny the fact that you can at least point out to some things the Lord had done for you.

If the Lord should act towards you according to your sins, where will you be? Can you bear the consequence of it? But His mercy is just sufficient to grant you the required pardon you need to live in peace!

If you are to examine what is happening to people in the world today; you would have discovered that there are uncountable number of sickness and diseases you don't even know. Those who were the victim of such are not ignorant of them. It was His mercy that kept terrible diseases away from you.

The devil through his agent is going to and fro looking for whom to devour on daily basis; it was the Lord who redeemed your life from destruction. There is more to why the Lord kept you till this day; It is not yet over for you in any aspect of your life. The Lord who brought you this far is able to see you through the journey of your life. Magnify the Lord and bless His name; praise Him in the beauty of His Holiness.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Fantastic Month Ahead!!!
