Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 5th Of December 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY It is practically impossible for you to fall if the Lord is ever placed before you. The man who is truly secured on the pathway of destiny is the one who has learnt to always accept to stay behind the cross!!! ************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure," (Psalms 16:8-9 NIV). ______________________ The Lord will always be at your right hand to work out His good pleasure if you will always place Him before you. The Lord our God is the almighty; He neither sleeps nor slumber. He has no record of fall or failure. Putting Him before you as you go on in life is the beginning of wisdom. The ultimate plan of the Lord for all His children is for their entire lives to be hidden in Him. Our limitations, mistakes and flops are expected to be buried in Him (col 3:3). He wants everyone of us to carry His identity at every point of our emergence. There is no other Identity that is needed than that of Christ in your life. The devil will not but continue to engage in his normal business which is to steal, kill and destroy on daily basis. You will always be secured if the devil will always see Christ in you. No man can stand before the judgement throne of God and be justified except if Christ is seen in Him. No service is acceptable before God except if fashioned in His will through the Holy Spirit. Your life is no longer your own immediately you give your life to God. You are expected to always hide behind the Cross in whatever you do; no matter how great it is. Always live to allow the Lord to take glory over your life. The battle of your life belongs to the Lord if He is the One seen in every affairs of your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Refreshed Weekend! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 4th Of December 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The man who truly places his priority right will always put the kingdom of God before him. It is easier to lay hold on the physical blessing from God following you than chasing after what you have not been given!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV). ______________________________ Whatever you place before you is what you will always seek after. It is a misplaced priority to place God behind and be chasing after wind. The plan of God for every mankind is for everyone to live for Him alone. He does not want us to be eaten by cares and worries of this life. In His original plan; the essence of our existence is to live to obey and follow Him on the pathway of destiny. You are not expected to live your entire life to seek for what is designed to come after you. If there is a need to make any effort in life; the Lord must be the one leading you. No struggle of life should take you away from the path of righteousness. No effort in life should deprive you of fulfilling your mandate; either in ministry, missions or even as husband/father or wife/mother as required by the Lord. When the Lord is right before you to lead you as a shepherd; not only His goodness and mercy will come after you, but also you will always abide in His presence forever (Ps 23:6). Allow the Lord to take all your moment and days. Seek to always operate within His terrain. Don't be deceived, stop looking towards the sky! The kingdom of God is right within us. You are in the best position to really say if truly to live to seek His kingdom. However, you can't just take your heart away from where your treasure is. Where is your treasure? Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 3rd Of December 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every man who rejects or ignores the yoke of the Lord has succeeded in rejecting His rest. You can never have rest if you are not living for the course of the Lord who designed your destiny!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV). ______________________________ Whatever takes you away from the Lord and His precious will for your life takes away your peace and rest. Coming to the Lord is the first and foremost step to having rest for your soul. It is not enough to come to the Lord, another important step to finding rest for your soul is bearing the yoke and the burden of the Lord. No man can be free from bearing his own yoke or burden in life. However, your burden will become lighter when you bear the yoke of the Lord; because he will take your burden over from you (Matt 6:33). The most important burden the Lord has over all mankind is that none should perish and for every man to take it upon him/herself to be holy and live righteously so the entire world will be a very beautiful place to live. The orientation of many men is to acquire more wonderful possession of life; saying "if only I get this and that I will be contented". However, situation of life keeps setting us on a frantic race that never really give the desired rest. This is because every glory of the world will come with the fear of losing it. If the blessing of the Lord will follow to assist you in the fulfilment of your destiny, if you must save your home and eternal fellowship with God; you must take his yoke of upon you. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have an Impressive Thursday! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 2nd Of December 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is a cross at every crossroads. Every man who strongly desires to fulfill his mandate in life, must always bear his cross without hesitation in the direction of God's will on daily basis! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (Luke 9:23 NKJV). ______________________ We cannot but come to crossroads (decisive moment of life) at every point in time on the pathway of destiny. You must always prepare for it as a child of God; for they will be many! However, you are required to always bear your cross on daily basis. Cross signifies death; an identity which actually shows that you are living but not for yourself. Carrying your cross means that you are living to reflect the will of God; i.e. None of your self will be seen. The Lord Jesus the author of our faith denied himself and bore the cross to fulfill His mandate. He taught us to do the same if we must come after Him ( i.e. succeed just like He did). In the choice of the cross to carry on daily basis, you must always deny yourself. Also, it is not enough to carry your cross; if you do, you must follow the Lord which is also the complete part of your self-denial. Identifying yourself with the cross is not an option but a must if you truly want to fulfill the course of the Lord. The devil through his tricks will always present an alternative cross which will appear so easy and lighter to bear due to the fact that it lessen the yoke of the Lord which makes men free from sin. Many men have abandon their yoke for money, fame and material things of the world. The cross you carry will take the best of your productive moment. To win the crown you must bear the old rugged cross on daily basis. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have an Inspired Wednesday! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? Happy New Month ____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 1st Of December 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Lord will only be actively involved in the life of every man who absolutely surrenders his entire life to Him. The only support He needs from you to work out His good pleasure and plans for your life is absolute obedience to His words!!! ******************** 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 will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV). ____________________________ Every man loves to enjoy the presence of God in whatever he does; but not every man is ready to obey the precept of God. Despite the fact that the Lord desires to go on with you in life and also to get involved in whatever you do; He needs your cooperation by accepting to always do His will. There is no doubt in the fact that you have some experiences and the manner in which you go about various affairs of your life; if the Lord must be actively involved to bring His words to pass over your life you must surrender all to Him. If you must be successful in whatever you do, you must take your eyes and trust away from what you can do and your previous experience. Submit every best area of your strength, expertise and experience under the might of the almighty God. He will surely do His good pleasure to always make straight your ways if you will always allow Him to work in your life. The Lord will strengthen your heart to always put your trust in Him irrespective of the resources at your disposal in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Month Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 30th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is a beautiful time for everything that has to do with man in God's calendar. The life of those who are truly called according to His purpose can never be subjected to the prediction of men!!! ******************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV). ____________________________ Your life is not actually your own. There is a little you know about your conception and even your future. Therefore, you are far from being in existence if you have not had a divine encounter with the Lord who is the saviour of your soul. However, if you truly belong to Him; your life is a divine project in His hand; planned to follow a divine program. He will take every issue of your life over to Himself to work it out at the appropriate time that will best suit His purpose. If everything about your life will fall in the rightful place to obey divine timing; then you must wait upon the Lord. He is the owner of time and no time is wasted with Him. Are you losing your patience, courage, faith and trust in God? Are you becoming offended and dejected as a result of your petitions which appears unattended to before the Lord? Don't be weary! The solution to the situation of your life is only waiting for the best and glorious moment. You must not stop praying and believing God even as you continue to do right and walk on the pathways of righteousness. Don't be tempted to manipulate the glorious plan of God for your life. No man can actually describe the pathway of a miracle when it has not happened nor can explain the works of God in your life. Trust your life to the Lord who holds the master plan of your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The involvement of God in various affairs of life is the major secret behind the life of every successful man. If you must bring down the kingdom of God in any domain you must always learn to seek its righteousness!!! ******************* BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV). ______________________________ There is a significant difference between seeking the kingdom of God and seeking the righteousness that is attached to experiencing His kingdom. It is not enough to seek God's kingdom in whatever you do; if you will enjoy the fullness of God you must also seek its righteousness. The kingdom of God is simply the presence of God; a domain where God takes pre-eminence. It is not limited to the eternal abode of every soul who truly belongs to God. Jesus said; the Kingdom of God is in you (Luke 17:20-21). The cares and worries of life which is presented in what we will eat, wear and become in life as specified in (Matt 6:25-32) is a major factor that hinders men to seek God's kingdom and His righteousness. They contribute immensely to what leads to failure in the aspect of righteousness. Every man wants to make heaven and to also keep the devil out of the affairs of life but most of the time embrace unrighteousness and various works of darkness. The ultimate interest of the devil over your life is for you to go on in life with whatsoever you do for God with the presence of unrighteousness. If you are not defeated in the aspect of righteousness, the devil can never win any battle against you. As you seek the involvement of God in the affairs of your life you must also seek to pass the every test of righteousness in whatever you do. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 28th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Despite the fact that you will not but always need bread on daily basis; you must never take stones for bread. In every need confronting men in various affairs of life, the devil will rather present stones instead of bread!!! ********************* BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread". Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"" (Matthew 4:3-4). _______________________________ The devil is not ignorant of what you need at every point in time. He knows what you want to ask God each time you kneel to pray. Bread in this case signifies different needs of life such as good job, wife, husband, academic achievement, connections, children and wonderful material possessions of life. The devil in the name of meeting these needs will always present stones to you as bread. He also presents hard labour and promising jobs with high remuneration as bread just to take away their consecration towards God as well as fellowship with their family members to rob the mandate of God in their lives. Feeding on stones in place of bread will surely bring about spiritual appendicitis which also leads to death. If you have been taking stones (any form of provision from the devil); you need spiritual evacuation of the stones out of your life which will only be possible through total repentance and restitution. Your life is not all about bread. You need more than bread to live a successful life. Just like the three Hebrews who rejected a stone called promotion; try to always reject every kind of offer from the devil in the name of bread. Faith is all you need; as you trust God to always help you in meeting your needs. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 27th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Whatever you see happening to men around you is a typical example of what can happen to you; if at least you have a reason to appreciate God over something in your life, it is the mercy of the Lord that speaks on your behalf!!! ******************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share." (1 Timothy 6: 17-18 NIV). ____________________________ Being poor or rich is actually relative. No man created by God is totally rich or poor. Irrespective of the situation of your life the fact still remains that you are fearfully and wonderfully made with special virtues to bless your world. There are different dimension of riches in life. We have riches that has to do with your academics, finance, health, intellect, spiritual, marital and social prosperity. Irrespective of the riches placed at your disposal it is not a reason to be arrogant or to neglect the precept of the Lord for a godly life. Have you seen a man who is poor, impoverished, destitute, dejected, wretched, miserable, heartbroken, powerless or in serious need around you? It is an epitome of what your life would have been if not for God's mercy. There is a need for you not to sleep over the success you have achieved so far or put your entire life on it as if it has come to stay. The most important requirement of God over your life is to be rich in doing good. Be an extended hand of the almighty God in meeting the needs of men around you. The Lord will make you a source of Joy and a healing balm to many generation in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Exceptional Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 26th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The best way to relate with men is to be conscious of their feelings. A man who is ignorant of the feelings of the men around him is a perfect example of a careless man!!! ********************* BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is complied with in the one precept, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself." (Galatians 5:14 AMP). ____________________________ One of the most important attribute of every man created by God is feelings. It is always good that you relate with other men having this orientation that you are affecting their feelings either positively or negatively. Since we are created for relationship, we cannot but relate with men at different levels of life. In the process of our relationship, offence will surely come. However, when it happens we must ensure to makeup with the feelings of men through settling of scores and tendering of apology as the case may be. It is very dangerous to be careless about the heart of a man you hurt. It is the will of God for you to make effort to heal such a heart. Try as much as possible to always evaluate the consequence of all your actions towards others; by putting yourself in the shoe of the person at the receiving end. If only we will all adhere to God's instruction to do to others as we would have them do to us the entire world will be a very beautiful place to live in (Luke 6 :31). Is someone sad, angry, hurt, dejected and discouraged around you as a result of various situation of life? Don't be careless or do as if you are not aware of what is happening around you! Under God; you are required to step into the matter as if the situation is happening to you as the Lord will help you to do. The Lord will make you a source of Joy and a healing balm to many generation in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? __________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 25th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY A man who does not have an anchor can never be stable in the storm of life. You are liable to fail when your anchor does not hold in various affairs of life!!! ********************* BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me." (Acts 27:25 NIV). ______________________________ In the bible verse above Apostle Paul found himself in a terrible storm which looked like a dead end; but he found courage in what the Lord had said to him in the course of time. As you proceed on the pathway of destiny always have it at the back of your mind that life is a mystery. You will not but find yourself in several unforetold situation of life you never planned for at the inception of various affairs of life. The storm of life will not but always come to validate how strong your anchor is and to also threaten the faith you have in God. Therefore, you must never go on in life without an anchor. You are required to take every step in life in total obedience to God's word. Also, you must be resolute in every choice you make according to God's will in your business, relationship, academics and various affairs of life. Hold on to what the Lord had said concerning you no matter what happens. Do you really have an anchor for your life and destiny? Will your anchor hold in every practical situation of life? The man who will not fail in life is the one who have God as the sure anchor of His life and also lives his life according to the pattern of His will. The Lord will give you the grace to stand firm in the will of God irrespective of the situation around your life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? __________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 24th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Nothing is totally a secret in life. A man who carries the breath of the Lord cannot hide from Him!!! ******************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their work in darkness and think, "Who sees us? Who will know?" (Isaiah 29:15 NIV). ______________________________ It is only a man who lacks understanding that will make an attempt to hide from God. The Land on which we all stand is the Lord's as well as everything on earth. Nothing is hidden from Him. There is no wisdom in any attempt to hide from your Creator. Whenever you see a man who is running away from the light of God's word you have seen a man who is already on the pathway of destruction. Any business, relationship, fellowship, friendship that will not pass the test of righteousness as required by God's word has an element of darkness which will at any point in time give the devil a foothold in such an affair. The Lord is not ignorant of your ways even though it is concealed before men. "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open." (Luke 8:17). The testimony of your life is at stake when you fail to tread the pathway of righteousness. It is good for people to know who you are so as to help you with the required prayer rather than thanking God on your behalf for a fake lifestyle. Don't allow yourself to be an object through which people will mock the name of the Lord. The Lord will not but disgrace any man who drags His name in the mud. Just as every man will not but die and meet his God when the time comes; Let's try as much as possible to live a transparent life before God and man. The Lord will give us all the grace to live a transparent life before Him in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 23rd Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Good health and general well being is an integral part of the most important things you need to fulfill purpose in life. In the midst of various life's pressure; the ultimate plan of God for all men is to find rest in all endeavour!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." (Genesis 2:2 NKJV) _______________________________ Looking at the bible verse above; someone may be wondering if God gets tired since He decided to rest on the seventh day after the work of creation. The Lord neither gets tired, sleeps nor slumber but trying to teach all men the way to live. The Lord did not create us to be a workaholic. You are also expected to find rest after every labour so as to keep yourself in the best state of well being. The Lord needs you even more than your labour either for Him or yourself. Your physical presence and activeness in various affairs of life matters a lot to Him. Try as much as possible to keep fit and be in good health to fulfill the purpose of God for your life. I heard of a man of God who became very sick. Some men gathered to seek the face of God on his behalf to know what He (God) will do about his case. The Lord told them that despite the fact that his assignment is not yet over; his body cannot go on again. He died after they received the message. Do not misuse your body in the name of be it spiritual or secular activities if you must get to the climax of God's assignment for your life. Do not disobey the law of nature for any reason but always trust the Lord to help you even as you put your best in whatever you do. The Lord will make you prosper in all things and also be in health even as your soul prospers in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blooming Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 22nd Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Irrespective of your faith, believe and anointing there is a limit to the temptation you can bear as a man. The faithfulness of God is revealed in the fact that every temptation you face is actually a type that you can bear!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:12-13). _______________________________ The secret of all men is open to God. He is the only one who knows the limit of the temptation you can bear. If you are still standing; it indicates the mercy of God. No matter how long you have been in the Lord and your experience so far in Him, the secret behind your standing is owing to the fact that God has prevented various temptations beyond what you can bear to come your way. Therefore, you have strong affinity or tendency to fall at any point in time if the Lord will not have your back. Standing in the Lord is not a thing for any man to take glory over. Don't allow the devil to magnify what you face as something new or unique; it is a prototype of what is common to all men. However, you have to be very careful to follow the Lord in His steps so as not to fall. You are required to always pray that you should not be led into temptation and deliverance from evil one as the Lord taught about prayer (Matt 6:13). Continue to trust God to help through your experiences on the pathway of destiny. The Lord will strengthen your heart to overcome every temptation coming your way in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Victorious Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 21st Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Looking beyond yourself is the best way to receive support from God at every point in time. A man can never achieve beyond his capability if all his hope absolutely depends on his strength alone!!! ******************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah" (Psalms 62:7-8 NKJV). ___________________________ The arm of the flesh is certain to fail under certain situation of life. There is a limit to what a man can do for himself or other men. This is established in the fact that no man can live or be great forever. There is no other way to limit your life order than to absolutely trust your own strength. Since you have a creator you are not expected to live in isolation from Him. Men will always seek to find refuge for their lives most especially in the time of trouble. Money, material possession, riches and many wonderful things of life provides a kind of refuge for men. However, a man who places his life on these things settle for disappointment. The Lord will always carry a man who appears helpless before Him. The One who created you knows what you can do and your limit. He will always wait for you at that very junction where your strength becomes feable and irrelevant. There is a deliverance and glory readily reserved for you in God. In every situation, always trust your life into His hands and look up to Him to assist you. Your life is not all about you alone but the One who in the first place saw a reason to create you to be among the living. He is ever interested in the affairs of your life to bring about the fulfillment of His purpose. The Lord will give you the grace to trust your life to Him in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ___________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 20th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY What the devil looks for to perform his enterprise as he goes to and fro is the crack in the walls of the lives of men. The Lord is the ultimate secret behind your general well being! ***************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Have You not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have conferred prosperity and happiness upon him in the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land." (Job 1:10 AMP). _______________________ Anything that works in the lives of men is according to the Lord's doing. He is the secret behind all success and the one in the centre of the affairs of men. The reason behind the success, prosperity and great wealth of Job is the inability of the devil to have access to his life due to the hedge the Lord placed around him and everything attached to him. The devil will not but always want to perform his enterprise in your life; all he needs is a crack in the walls of your life. He will always come at every point in time to see if there is a hedge around it. The only thing the devil honours and respect in the life of a man is the presence of God. This is the hedge we need around our lives. Many men try to put an hedge around their lives through hard labour, accumulation of wealth and material things of life but neglected God who is the sure protection of life and destiny. The Lord is the major reason why you will not be disgraced in life; no matter the structure you have put in place around your life without God's presence it is in vain. Sin is the major destroyer of the hedge around your life: it gives the devil the required foothold he needs to work in your life. Submit your entire life to God's will to always bring down His presence in your domain. The Lord will fill up every crack in the wall of your life in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Superb Friday! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 19th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every woman is beautiful if the man of her life will always make her happy through sacrificial love. Every man is caring and loving if the woman in his life will always make him to feel like a real man!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." (Ephesians 5:33 NKJV). _______________________________ Nothing is actually automatic in life. Being a child of God does not exempt you from the natural law of life. This is the law which makes a man to reap according to what he has sown. There is a sacrifice that must be offered to make things fall in place as expected in every aspect of life. Every good man desires to have a good home, beautiful wife and children just as every woman earnestly desires a husband who will care, love and always stand by her in every situation of life. If you must have a blissful marital experience you must obey God to love your wife sacrificially as a man and submit yourself to your husband as a woman. To love is not always a difficult issue for women, because when they truly love, they do wholeheartedly. This nature is what makes them mothers. On the other hand, If you are praying to have a man, seek for the one who truly hears and obeys God. Don't be carried away by sweet emotional talk; because men by nature are hard hearted. True love will only come from a man who is truly ready to pay the sacrifice of love as commanded by God. The ultimate secret to make your wife ever charming is to love her sacrificially. If you must keep your man continuously in your bosom you must learn to always feed his ego through absolute submission according to God's will. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blissful Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 18th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The only time a child of God will not have problem with both agent and works of darkness is when he/she fails to manifest as light as expected by God. Every true child of God will have intense hatred for every forms of unrighteousness!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." (John 3:19-20 NIV). _______________________________ The emergence of the sons of God is meant to destroy the works of darkness. Therefore, every true child of God is meant to be a threat to the kingdom of darkness. If through the help of God you are living a victorious life as a child of God; your life is a major area of interest. There are still wicked kings like Herod and Pharaoh put in place at every point in time to destroy every agent of light. However, the more the light in you shine before men the less the manifestation of the works of darkness in your domain. In Isa 60:1-3; the instruction is to arise and shine because darkness covers the whole place and the Glory of the Lord is risen. What makes your existence a landmark is how much you can illuminate the dark world. It is not about engaging in more activities but living a life that will make your presence convict men of their evil deeds. Despite the fact that you will not but follow peace with all men you cannot be a friend to all men. The fulfillment of your purpose in life hangs on how much your light will remain on the lamp stand in God's presence to bring to Him the required praise He deserves from your life. The Lord will give you the grace to be an ever shining light to your world in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 17th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Lord is the real owner of time; any time spent with/for Him is never a waste of time. Spending your life outside the circumference of God's will is the real waste of time and resources!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." (Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 NLT). _______________________________ The life of a man is in the unit of time. The giving of your time to any thing or man is actually an act of giving away an irretrievable part of your life. The mystery in the entity called "time" is in the fact that you cannot catch or hold it. Also, it does not wait for any man; you can rather make best use of it as it presents to you various opportunities in every aspect of life. Can't we simply say the entity called "TIME" is actually the move of God? How old are you today? Have you discovered that it is beyond your understanding or capability how and why you have attained that age at this very point in time? It was the Lord by His divine arrangement certain years ago, choose your parent, your conception, your birth as well as your safety till this very point. Your future only hangs on the faith you have in Him that all will be well. As we proceed on the pathway of destiny we must always live with the orientation that we can never outrun God. No matter what you know how to do or the resources at your disposal; everything about your life will only be beautiful in His own time. Your destiny is only secured in His hand. A man will continue to live a wasted life until he surrenders his entire life to the Lord who rules in the affairs of men. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 16th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Most times a sorrowful countenance is good for the heart most especially when situation of life makes you to pant after your Creator!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better and gains gladness." (Ecclesiastes 7:3 AMP). _______________________________ A man living on earth cannot but pass through some life's situation which will make his countenance to fall. There is a need to always remind ourselves that the graph of life is not straight. Life is all about ups and downs as well as joy and sadness. However, there is a God who stands in the midst of various affairs of life to make everything beautiful at His own time. He knows all our worries and how feeble our strength is in the battle of life. Each time the situation of life becomes unfavourable let this serve as a reminder; that you are just a sojourner who have not really come to stay on earth. It will not be always interesting but pressing on even in the midst of unfavourable condition is the beauty of life. When everything is working perfectly in the life of a man; he tends to be tempted to feel like a god and also find refuge in every areas of his strength. The Lord most of the time always use the situation of life to bring man to the end of himself. The disappointments and failures experience, despite all effort put in place to face the battle of life, often force men to trace their path to their Creator. When you become sorrowful about life's situation think about your Saviour. He is ever waiting for you and knows that your strength will not be enough. Don't go away but come unto Him to lay down every load of care and He will give you rest from your burden. The Lord will give you joy for all your sorrow in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fantastic Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 15th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Lord is the only true pillar and the rock standing in the centre of all affairs of life. Any ground on which you stand order than God in any situation of life is a sinking sand!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "THOSE who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever." (Psalms 125:1 NKJV) _______________________________ Every man needs support to live successfully on earth. Someone is actually having your back as you embark on various activities of life. Choosing the Lord as the pillar that holds your life is like choosing an everlasting support. We seek God to be the pillar of our lives by putting our trust in Him alone. To trust the Lord means to take Him at His word. It also means to take bold step to do according to His words even when it appears not reasonable. Trusting God also has to do with believing God and living our daily lives with the consciousness of His verdict over sin both on earth and eternity. Do you really trust the Lord? Do you believe in Him? Who do you seek in the time of trouble? What actually is the main support of your life? Sin; through lying, stealing, adultery, cutting corners, dubious activities, examination malpractices etc. provides a kind of support for men. It is very normal for a man to find a way out for himself in the midst of pressing issues of life. Every support to your life which takes it source from sin or any form of unrighteousness keeps God operation to halt in your life. Depending absolutely on God keeps your life at peace to enjoy the goodness of the Lord and life long support in the land of the living. The Lord will strengthen our heart to put our trust in Him in every situation of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 14th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Despite the fact that you will not but worry about various life's issues as humans, each time you do, you must always seek to find the Lord in every situation!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:31-33 NKJV). _______________________________ One of the most important weapon of our warfare is faith. The Lord who is the alpha and the omega of our destiny knows that we cannot but come to a point in life where various life's situation will try to make us worry and also put us in a position of doubt to the existence of God and fulfillment of His words. When such time comes, apply the weapon of faith; believing His words becomes the key to being delivered. There are several good things of life seen in the life of those who don't even know God. Also, there are some worries of life that does not exempt the children of the kingdom. However, irrespective of your needs the Lord is not ignorant of them all. He is the Creator who knows what is best for us. Don't allow pressure from various worries of life to derail you from the plan of God. In every situation you are passing through always seek to know His stand in that matter. Abide and earnestly wait for the salvation of God. We can always count on Him to do what he has promised to do. If you will always seek to do His will in every situation of life; He will handle all your care. The Lord will come to your aid at that very point you earnestly need Him in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Cheerful Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 13th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The joy of the Lord is paramount to your progress in life. The joy you need to forge ahead on the pathway of destiny can never be gotten in what God has not done in your life but from the account of the mercy you have received over the years!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold." (Nehemiah 8:10b AMP). _______________________________ Every normal human being will always want to increase, get better and acquire more wonderful things for himself. However, when life's expectations are not met the morale of men become so low and the tendency to become sorrowful will be very High. The Joy of the Lord in the heart of a man gives him the hope and the needed confidence to proceed into the bright future ahead of him. As God's children you have the right to rejoice because that is where your strength lies. When you begin to focus too much attention on those things you are trusting God to do in your life; it will cripple the joy provided by God to be the strength you need to enter into your rest. When you look around to see those who have gone ahead of you or have upper hand in various aspect of life; your heart may become too heavy to appreciate God who brought you this far. If only you can critically examine your life you will definitely discover how much the Lord has done for you. The testimony of His mighty act will always provide the needed strength to go on in life knowing fully well that all will be well. Don't allow the devil to deceive you into becoming sorrowful and loosing your confidence in what the Lord has promised to do in your life. If you have chosen the Lord and upright in heart; to you, I say rejoice because your expectation will not be cutoff. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Joyous Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 12th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY What makes a good man is not his dress (physical appearance), career, qualification or the resources at his disposal but his values!!! *********************** 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). ________________________________ Values are the basis of the decision that makes you valuable. Your values will only be right if it is in total submission to God's will. What you value most determines where you place God in your life. Your values in life is clearly seen in what you are living for (i.e. What takes most of your time and strength). It also determines what you look for or see in people and your reaction towards them. It does not only reflect in your reaction alone but also in the various choices you make over every critical issue of life. Many things will be wrong in the life of a man with wrong values. The emergence of your bosom friend, wife, close associate, home speaks so much about your values. The Devil has not succeeded over your life if you have not been deceived to loose your sense of values. There is a measure of God in the life of every man created by God; don't treat men based on who they are but respect all men equally. No amount of money a man has can buy everything in the market; don't place your values on money; doing so places a limit on your pace in life. Place not your life on your Job, career and material things; doing so will rob the joy you deserve to enjoy in this life. Life is about the eternal God the creator of all things who rules in the affairs of men. Let your ultimate value be in God alone and every other thing will fall in pleasant places for you (Matt 6:33). Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Pleasant Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 11th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Any relationship that will detached you from God and the hands that fed you can never be from Him! ***************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But Ruth said: "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God." (Ruth 1:16 NKJV). ________________________ Despite the fact that God created man for relationships; you are not expected to relate or be in relationship with just anybody. Relationships are meant to get us better or provide the needed support to fulfill the purpose of God in our lives. In the choice of who to be in relationship with; we must be very careful not to jeopardize the plans of God over our lives. The issue of relationship is a continuous thing. You will be coming in contact with people as you proceed on the pathway of destiny. If you must be in relationship with any man; - it must not affect the purpose of God for your life (i.e. Who the Lord wants you to be) - It must not detach you from your people (i.e. your family and the people of God) - It must not take you away from God (i.e. Not leading you into sin) Irrespective of your position and status in life you must never ignore the hands that feeds you and those who have your back and stood by you in the time of your needs if they are not leading you to sin against God. In marital and career choice lean not on your own understanding but trust God to help you. Don't just look at people's physical appearance; think about the purpose of God for your life, your people and God. Don't take jobs that will deprive you the fulfillment of your purpose and ministry or prevent you from being a good husband or father. Life is not all about money and material possession. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blissful Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 10th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Pride is the most effective force behind every act of disobedience. The destruction of a man is looming when he begins to exhibit pride!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18 AMP). _____________________________ A man disobeys God each time he chooses to be wise in his own eyes. Despite the fact that the Lord gave us all the right to exercise our self will; exercising it against the will of God is what is called Pride. When a life is set for destruction his heart will be lifted up and will begin to misbehave ignorantly in every aspect of life. He will act foolishly because the wisdom and every virtue found in God will not be available for Him. He will be full of himself and his shallow knowledge will bring His life very close to his limit. Pride exihibits its self in the following ways: - When you don't see the achievement of your life as the product of God's mercy. - When you don't attribute everything you are to the glory of God. - When you begin to put your hope in what you can do and your experience. - When the words of the Lord have no place in your life and you start nursing the idea of putting God out of the affairs of your life. - When you look down on people and you can only see them as a ladder to rise to fame and honour. As you proceed on the pathway of destiny; always remember that you are a product of grace, mercy and privilege. Humble yourself under the might hand of God. Be teachable, approachable, correctable, loving and live sacrificially among men. To overcome pride; you must be like Jesus who absolutely depend on His Father to carry out the affairs of life. Submit your entire life to God as He leads you to follow Him in His steps. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 9th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Lord will only fight for a man who patiently wait on Him. If you will always see the salvation of the Lord in every battle of life; you must always allow Him to have His way in your life!!! ***************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. "The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." (Exodus 14:13-14 NKJV). ________________________ One of the most difficult things to do is to wait upon God most especially in the time of pressure. To wait upon the Lord means to do nothing; irrespective of the human strength and expertise at your disposal; until the Lord decides to intervene or speak on a matter. We cannot but be under pressure as we pass through different life's situations. Therefore, when faced with life's challenges the first pre-requisite to gaining victory is to overcome fear with God's word. You are to "Fear Not" not necessarily because there is a ray of hope coming from the arm of flesh but because you have a God. The pressure imposed by life's challenge is able to make men become unstable both in faith and righteousness. When you come to this point on the pathway of destiny "Stand Still". Remain where God wants you to be. Are you under the pressure of the fear of the unknown in your academics, marital life, career, finances, health etc.? Believe God to help you out; Don't even try to outrun or outsmart Him. You can't cut corners or compromise your faith and still expect Him to act on your behalf. You can't tell Him to build on the foundation He did not lay. Wait upon Him and you will see His salvation over the affairs of your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Delightful Week Ahead!!! |
A FATHER'S MESSAGE TO HIS DAUGHTER WHO'S ABOUT TO WED My Daughter, today you will stop bearing my name. You will be happily married to the man you love. Don't miss me because I have fulfilled my purpose, it is now time for you to start fulfilling yours. From your childhood, I have raised you well by the grace of God but before you say I do, there are few things I need to tell you about living with a man and being married. Do you remember when you wrote your WAEC and JAMB exams? You came to me and I gave you 20,000 naira for the registration? Well, even though I gave it to you, the money was not mine. I know you always thought I paid the fees. The truth is, I was broke… but your mother gave me the money. She could have given it to you but she decided to give it to me to give to you. Support your husband. Some times things will get tough… he will be frustrated. Even though he acts tough, in his mind he has fears… he fear you may not value him anymore because he has fallen. That is the time to get behind him and support him! The best way to show your husband you love him is to respect him! You may argue with him, you may disagree but at the end of the day, let him know he has your respect. Do you remember the day I screamed at your mother? What did she do? She was quiet! Do you also remember the day she screamed at me? What did I do? I was quiet! My daughter, learn to be quiet sometimes when your husband is angry. When one person is hot, the other should be cool. If two are always screaming at same time, that is how big problems start in marriage. The first thing to know about your husband is his favourite food! If he has more than one then keep them at the back of your mind. Don't let him ask for it, always prepare it for him. There was a day your mother caught me looking at a woman affectionatelly. I was lusting after that woman but I was not yet cheating on your mum. When she saw us… she didn't fight the lady, she quietly left. I was afraid of going home because all hell will break lose. But when I got home she said nothing. She served me my food. Guilt was taking control over me. I started begging. From that day, I never looked at a woman two time. Who knows? If she had fought and threatened me… maybe I could have run away from the fight into the arms of the lady. Sometimes Silent brings better solution than fight. Forget those romantic novels you read while you were 21. Remember those Indian and American love movies? Also remember those too sweet Nollywood films on African magic? Forget them! Don’t expect your married life to be that way. Life is different from fiction. The last thing I want to tell you…. Do you remember how you were born? After our wedding, things were tough and your mum had to do two jobs to support us. I was working as well. I get home 6 PM while she gets home 8pm tired. But when we get to bed… she will not refuse me my night food. That is how you were born. Dont form a habit of denying your husband of his night food. Be a good wife and you will realize you married the best man on earth.... ENJOY UR WEEKENDS |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 8th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The fruit you bear at every point in time speaks much about who takes pre-eminence in your life and what will likely be your eternal abode. ********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that is produced." (Matthew 7:18-20 NLT). _____________________________ Every tree is expected to bear the fruit of its kind. Every man is planted to bear certain type of fruit. Whether consciously or unconsciously you are fulfilling the course of the power that rules over your life. At least, if nobody can confidently say everything about you; It does not change the fact that you know yourself and every secret of your life. Who are you? What type of tree are you? Who do you obey at every junction of decision making? When you examine your life and you can see fruit like; sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension and division that indicate that you are a tree planted by the devil to carry out his enterprise. A man filled with the Holy Spirit cannot be a Sinner and will never bear evil fruit. The presence of the Holy Spirit is expressed in man through fruits like; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. You can only see God in the life of a man who bears them. The presence of God in their lives at every point in time means eternal life. The Lord will deliver every one of us from every works of the flesh and remove every evil seed in our hearts in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 7th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is no faith until the Lord has spoken. Faith is not about your zeal or interest but of the words of the Lord!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith." (Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV). _____________________________ You cannot claim to have faith in God when He has not spoken to you. There will always be a backup, support or inspiration behind whatever you do. Working, walking or taking any step, no matter how good or spiritual it may appear to be cannot be regarded as a walk of faith if the words of the Lord does not take precedence. In 2 Sam 6:7; We read about uzzah who through the zeal he had wanted to help God by trying to prevent the ark of God from falling. He was struck down to death even though he had good intentions but God saw him as someone who lacks faith because he acted contrary to God's instruction. Your faith is actually what makes you righteous in every aspect of life. Acting contrary to God's word is more or less a pride against the words of God which always leads to destruction. As a child of God you are required to live by faith. Since faith comes by hearing the words of God; If you must have friends, business or an establishment, choose a wife, career or pick up a Job; it must be according to the words of the Lord. Every true Child of God is expected to live by faith. Life is full of risk. The best risk to take is to follow God as He leads us on the pathway of destiny even when it is not reasonable. You are actual doing nothing in whatever you think you are doing as a child of God if it is not by faith. The Lord will give us the grace to be wise enough to always act in total obedience to God's word at every point in time in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 6th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY What a man pays in exchange for every sin he commits is much more costly than the benefit thereof. A man who will not sacrifice his destiny as well as God's plan for his life on the account of sinful pleasure is the one who is truly wise!!! ********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal. You know that afterward, when he wanted his father's blessing, he was rejected. It was too late for repentance, even though he begged with bitter tears." (Hebrews 12:16-17 NLT). _________________________ It is an understatement to say there is no pleasure in sin. However, the wages you get when you commit sin is death because something actually dies in you without your knowledge. There will always be pressure to commit sin at every point in time. It is only a wise man that will keep the devil out of his life by running away from sin. The salvation of your soul is your defense or shield against the evil works of darkness. It brings to effectiveness what Christ has done on your behalf. It represents the only hope if you will make eternity with God. The devil will be extremely satisfied if your salvation is the only thing he can steal from your life. Don't trade the salvation of your soul on the account of sin and worldly pleasure. You will need it when the time comes for you to enter into your rest (both on earth and in eternity); at that point your tears will not be enough to regain it if you lose it. Don't be carried away by anything sin offers to you in the name of Job, wife/husband, grade, certificate, money, career, connection etc. this is because the aftermath is death. The Lord will give us the grace to be wise enough to always run away from sin at every point in time in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Impressive Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 5th Of November 2015 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The degree of how much you know God determines your strength in the days of adversity. The more a man gives himself to God the more the exploits He will do through him!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]." (Daniel 11:32 AMP). _____________________________ The great exploit of God is mostly revealed in the presence of life's challenges. The greater the challenges before a man the greater the miracle he needs. The life of many so called children of God had been subjected to flattery by the devil because they have no strength to stand the test to prove the love they have for God even though they continue to claim to know Him. Such will compromise every standard of God just to have an easy ride with various affairs of life. Their faith only remains until the presence of any situation that can mount pressure on them to give up their faith. "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small." (Proverbs 24:10). How much of God do you know about your business, career, relationship, ministry academics, family etc. If you are not sure of the Lord's involvement in whatever you do; you are likely to falter because you will lack the required strength to stand. The Lord did not promised a life free of life's troubles but He promised strength to your weary and faint heart in the days of adversity. To be strong you absolutely need to wait upon Lord even as you earnestly seek His face to come to your aid in every challenges of life. The Lord will give us the grace to know Him the more in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspirational Thursday!!! |
