Spiritual Digest for the Day 26th Of September 2015

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The ultimate guide to counting the cost in life is putting the interest of God before yours in every aspect of decision making!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it" (Luke 14:28 NKJV).
__________________________
Life is all about making choices. We all make decisions every second of our lives. Counting the cost at every point of decision making is an integral part of being wise.

However, counting the cost can never change the will of God. Therefore, if you must make the right choice at every point of decision making God's interest must be paramount in your heart. Relying on your own understanding and desire or selfish interest will always lead you astray.

The interest of God will always lead you to the path of righteousness where His will for your life will come to pass. We are required to seek to please God in whatever we do.

What is in your heart really matters in all decisions you make! Do you really love to do the will of the Lord? What do you live for? Let's make God our ultimate passion for living and the lines will always fall unto us in pleasant places.

The Lord will strengthen our hearts to always make Him our ultimate passion for living in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Blessed Weekend!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
No man can grow properly in the public. The destiny of a man can only be secured when it is hidden in Christ!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"HE who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalms 91:1 NKJV).
__________________________
Everything in life has a time of its manifestation. However, when something manifests before its time; it may not last or stand the test of time.

The devil is ready to steal, kill and destroy any good thing. The man that will be saved from the enterprise of the evil one is the man who places his life under God. Abiding under the shadow of the almighty means allowing the wisdom of God to rule over your life.

The emphasis here is that you should stay under God. Let people see God in you rather than yourself. When great things begin to happen in your life, accept to humbly stay under God. Don't expose yourself before the time of your manifestation or else His workings may come to premature end.

The battle in the life of some people is as a result of lack of discipline when it comes to sharing sensitive issues of their lives. You gain nothing but destruction by showing any area of your strength in the public.

When the workings of God in your life is still at its preliminary stage allow it to grow; do not expose yourself to evil kings like Pharoah or Herod.

When Jesus was born Herod sought to kill him but God hid him in Egypt. Similarly, when Moses was born Pharaoh sought to kill him but he was also hidden to save him from death. God was able stop these two kings but He did not; just because He chose to keep His secret as well as His strength away from men.

Allow God to take glory over your life; stay under His shadow; He will take care of the rest.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Inspired Friday !!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
If we can always be attentive and critically look at the things around us; we will discover that everything is actually talking about God!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." (Psalms 19:1-3 NIV).
__________________________
Everything around us speaks much about the attributes of God. He created all things for His glory.

All men ought to be mindful of God and always seek to see Him in everything and all situations of life. The breaking of each day speaks of His faithfulness; and the hope of brighter days ahead.

The lawlessness and the sinful habit of this generation speaks of the end time and the fact that His words are true. This gives us enough reasons to take God at His word for our entire lives and more importantly our eternal destiny.

Change in season also speaks of how mindful He is to His promises and that change is a constant factor in life. Presently you are in a season and the situation of your life will not continue to be the way it is. The Lord is able to workout His precious plans for your life.

If we must make it in life; we must live our lives having it at the back of our minds that everything is all about God. Let us submit to God alone whose counsel cannot be altered by any situation of life.

He provides opportunity for men in every hopeless situation. We must not be careless about His place in our lives so as to always see His presence in everything that has to do with us.

The Lord will be pleased to make your life an epitome of His mighty act in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Wonderful Thursday!!!
Romance › Virginity Stop! Don't Break That Gate. by jonatoye(op): 9:52am On Sep 23, 2015
VIRGINITY STOP! DON'T BREAK THAT GATE.

Have you ever wondered why God carefully positioned a membrane of blood in a lady's sexual opening? It is a tiny membrane that partially or completely covers the opening of the vagina. It is called the ''HYMEN''.

Why would God-Our Maker put a breakable tissue full of blood at the very door of the sexual opening of the female?

Why it is so carefully placed at that entrance, like a ribbon tied at the entrance of a new house about to be launched?

Why is it filled with blood that spills away when it is broken?

Why? Without doubt, the HYMEN IS A GATE!

It was God (our creator) who set that blood-filled vessel there as a covenant blockage, a sign and a token of a covenant between the bearer and whoever plunges into her opening.

Before God, the disvirginity of a lady is not a casual act of fun. It is a serious covenant struck and confirmed by the blood shed on that day.

This is God's way of saying, "Whoever plunges in to this woman shall only be able to do so by making a blood covenant to be joined to her for the rest of his life, from that point onward".

Little wonder why sexual intercourse was designed by God to take place only and only after the marriage contract is sealed. The one who made the body (the hormones, organs, nerves, tissues, e.t.c) said it in clear terms in 1Cor.6:13 , "Now, the body is not for fornication".

Anyone who chooses to use the body for fornication must know that he/ she is working directly against God's plan and there would definitely be a consequence either now or at old age!

There is a spiritual bonding, a supernatural process that takes place in a lady's heart to the first guy that enters in to her especially at that particular time when the hymen breaks. There is no covenant without blood: this is why the membrane contains enough of it.

As a matter of fact, what happens the first time a lady has sex is not just sex but an immersion and a bathing of the man with her hymen blood to initiate a covenant that is highly recognized in the spirit realm of both light and darkness! The first time this happens just marks her opening day covenant ceremony and each subsequent experience goes on to further refresh or strengthen that covenant or establish another version of it with another person.

Many have washed useless boys with that hymen-blood. Many have struck irreversible covenants with men that have nothing to do with their destiny.

Many have shared that hymen blood in sexual activity with demon-possessed men while some others have struck such precious covenants with candle sticks as they exercised sex with it.

If only they knew, many girls who carelessly allowed themselves to be disvirgined in a bid to be among the so called "big girls" would never have done so.

The Bible says it in clear terms: "Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot (through sexual activity) is one with her" (1 Cor. 6:16).

This is why many girls are not yet married yet their spiritual composition is already shattered and imbalanced, because they have mingled their souls with that of different men.

Dear Singles, know today that there is a definite proportion of your virtue that leaves you each time a man enters into you and when that man leaves you, he leaves with it. Just imagine how much of yourself would be lost each time a man enters into you without any properly signed marriage bond or contract.

Sex is a spiritual affair. A giving of yourself to another. All of these things have strong and terrible spiritual implications.

A broken hymen opens you up to the spirit of the man that broke it, any other spirit whatsoever that may have mingled with that man's spirit, those who have mingled theirs with him and the spirit of any other man that enters into you thereafter. The fun part is that pre-marital sex is not funny at all. What happens between the lines could be deadly and dangerous.

The very first day a lady, or a man does that there will be spiritual transfer of destiny. The sin of fornication gives demons and occultic people direct access into your God's given destiny. And it drives the Holy Spirit away from you, and your guardian angel will no longer fight for you, nor take your prayers to heaven.

So guys, zip up! Girls wise up!! It doesn't matter matters a lot.

BIG THINGS COMES FROM LITTLE THINGS WE DO!!!

Spiritual Digest for the Day 23rd Of September 2015

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
A man still living in sin is not free from every works of darkness. The real breakthrough in life begins when your life is free from sin!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false." (Psalms 24:3-4 NIV).
__________________________
There is a place called the hill of the Lord in every issues of life that has to do with man. The devil has no access to this hill because it is the terrain of the eternal God who rules in all affairs of men.

The blessing, healing, success and breakthrough of a man is still a mirage if he is still living in sin. This is because sin will always give the devil a foothold in your life and deny you access to God's presence where your life can be secured.

Sometimes when it seems as if all is well with a man even with the sins in his life; the issue is just that the devil is only preserving him for the day of his destruction.

If you must enter into the precious plan of God for your life (i.e. the hill of God in various aspect of your life) your life must be free from iniquity. For a man's life to be free from iniquity he must have the following:

1. Clean hands: A lifestyle that will not fail under the light of God's word both in private and in public.
2. Pure Heart: A heart free from all forms of grudge and filthiness.
3. A soul not lifted up to vanity: Having a true love and unwavering passion for God than the things of the world.
4. A life that is free from falsehood: living your life based on the true representation of yourself.
Living your life based on the above requirement will lift every gate hindering you to entering into His plans for your life.

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

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The Kingdom of God belongs to those who will always come before Him with a vacuum for Him to fill. Grace will always be available to those who absolutely depend on God to live their entire life.

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3 NIV).
___________________________
The man who will experience God is the one who will always approach Him with a heart to learn to have more of Him. You can't experience the power of His might until you humble yourself and always see the need for God's presence in your life.

Many men become so familiar with God that they take lightly His words as a result of the access they have to Him and His words through His grace over the years. Some depend on their years of experience in the service of God and the calibre of church or denomination they attend as a yardstick to make heaven. They speak and claim the words of their leaders but never have their own personal experience with God nor have anything to offer to their generation.

The message coming to you at this very point in time is that you should empty yourself before God so that He can fill you. Don't be so rigid but be flexible in God's hand so that your life will conform to His purpose.

Allow His grace to flow through as you humbly seek to learn from Him on daily basis. The kingdom of heaven actually belongs to those who are ready to see God in every situation at every point in time. It is all about those who want to hear what God will say and not what they expect to hear from Him.

The Lord will give us the grace to humbly seek and depend on Him all the days of our lives in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Glorious Tuesday!!!

Irrespective of what you acquire for yourself in life; the fact still remains that you will always have something to look up to God for at every point in time. However, being a child of God gives you an exclusive right to enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing." (Psalms 34:10 NKJV).
___________________________
Every man, no matter how great his strength or capability may be, is expected to absolutely depend and put his trust in God. The way man was created demands that he should not to be in isolation from God.

As you are reading this at this very point in time; there is a pressing need in your life which needs divine intervention. No man is self sufficient because none actually have everything. We are all needy in various aspect of life.

There are some people in life who can be regarded as lions due to their strength, riches and influence but cannot meet all their own personal needs. There is a limit to what a man can do for himself; how much more helping other men. Don't put your trust in men who are also looking up to God for some specific need of their lives but rather allow God to use them as He would for you.

The Lord has no record of failure. Therefore, putting your trust in Him means you will never lack anything provided you can always wait for Him. Let us lose sight of who we are and every strength, support within our disposal since they are liable to fail. Rest in the Lord and you will never be disappointed.

The Lord will give us the grace to entrust our lives in His hands in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Sensational Week Ahead!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
When you keep looking at what you can do by your strength you can never be perfect. The only sure way to becoming perfect as required by God is to submit to His will in total obedience to Christ!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48 AMP).
___________________________
The will of God is that we should all be perfect. It is not an option for us but a must. If God is telling us to be perfect, that means it is a possibility.

However, it is not possible with arm of the flesh or human strength. Not by mere determination, resolution or tenacity but total submission to Christ by the offering of yourself to His will through the help of Holy Spirit. Paul said: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1).

What God requires is just simple obedience. Offering yourself to do what God is telling you to do is the only way to be perfect. The imperfectness of a man's life will always manifest in the absence of God's presence. Therefore, we must all come to the end of ourselves if God will find full expression in us.

To be perfect just as He is you must: deny yourself (disown, lose sight and forget yourself), take up your cross daily and follow Him in His steps (Luke 9:23)

The Lord will give us the grace to submit our entire being in obedience to His will at all times in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Nairaland General › Growing Old In The Foreign Land (take Time To Read) by jonatoye(op): 6:13pm On Sep 19, 2015
GROWING OLD IN THE FOREIGN LAND
I want to give this word as a warning and advise to all friends and families abroad "Do not grow old in the foreign land" About 7years ago,I carefully studied this and I did not know the cause until I search the scripture.
Most of the people who stayed long abroad, who grew old abroad do become wretched when they eventually come home-why??
You find most of them as security personel in most of our higer institutions, some became messengers in the firms, some were old-school drivers in all our parks, while some were lucky to become principal in privates schools here.
To know these people, U will always hear them blowing grammar, telling tales ....
"when I was in Toronto....
"When I was in Cakwe....
I was able to meet one who was a senior driver, see how he was speaking french... Wow!!!
The man said ... When I was in France,,...ChaiChai! Chai !!!!
live was easy over there men!!!!...
I Bleep women the way I like becos those women like african men, they even give me money thereafter...
Money was not my problem.... Chai!!!,..... if not because of my mother.... (someone asked why?) It was my mother that forced me home.
My people, dont let us be like this man who has no focus except to run after women
it was the love of the women that got his attention first @ the freign land, and the very first thing you and I should do, is to think of where we came from and where we are going
That is the exact problem of brother Jacob in the bible, it was the easy life and the beautiful damsels that caught his attention first, to the extent of re-enslaving himself becos of women.
Meanwhile the fear of what chased him away @ home does not propelled him to serious, it is a pity dt his useful time of life was used up by Mr Laban to acquired his own wealth.
Thank God because he later realized himself. He said to his wives
"You know that I have worked for your father ‪#‎ with_all_my_str enght‬, yet your father ‪#‎ has_cheated_me‬by changing my wages ‪#‎ ten_times‬, however God does not allow him to harm me" V6
U also know that none of his wives objected him,because they awared that the man Jacob laboured indeed for their father
I can see that, this indifferent boss still have the mind to harm this hard working man-Jacob, it was God that saved him, Laban would have charmed him.
Laban said, U know "I have power to to harm you"V29 of chap 31 and Jacob also kno the fact.
People of God, Jacob said in Gen30:30c...
‪#‎ whn‬will I provide for my own family?
Jacob was able to sit back and think and re-think ..... He asked ‪#‎ when‬??
The age is not on my side ‪#‎ Oh_God‬... Whenhuh??
.....for how long am I going to continue with this?
....for how long am I going to do this "ise ti o l'ope yii"?
..... When am I going to become a man?
......When am I going to provide for my home?
.....When am I going to settle down at home?
.....when will I do something for my own household?
......When will I stop serving others?
...... When will I stop doing this hard labor and settle down with my own family?
All these provoking thought made Jacob prepared his heart
He later confronted his boss and said with a very soft voice
‪#‎ UuummmMr_Laban‬.... U see
It was like this for twenty years I was in your household. I work 14years for your two daughters 6years for your flocks, and You change my wages 10times. If not becos of God of my father Abraham and Isaac,you would have sent me away with empty hands,but God has seen my hardship and toil of my hands....V41-42chp 31 of Genesis
People of God,
Dont become
"Daddy Daddy"
Dont become become
"baba ilu oyinbo"
Dont become "Mummy wa"
Mummy London
because those pple may eventually send you away empty handed.
Start preparing for your home right from Now
‪#‎ Now_to_my_count rymen‬
I want to say this, despite the fact that our country is not alright now, and the majority of those who has one establishement are men like Mr Laban.
If you dont think deep they will use you and you will become useless to yourself and your children. And they will later send you home empty handed
Do you realize that, they consume better part of your life?... Please answer huh??
It is Your useful time they consume and use your potential to acquire wealth for themselves without any word of appreciation
So, my pple let us think of when are we going to settle down on our own?
When will our family benefit from us.huh?
Let us stop serving Laban
Let us Stop enslaving ourselves
I pray for You
>Your little effort will attract the mercy of God IJN
Have a wonderful weekend
>Give Jesus more attention more than this hard labor of yours and I assure you of great success

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The only way to seek to inherit the kingdom of God is to be resolute in your quest for it. If you must make the kingdom of God every other things of life must give way!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, "who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46 NKJV).
___________________________
The ultimate plan of God for your life is for you to inherit and dwell in His kingdom. If there is anything that is of great interest to the devil in your life; it is your right to inherit the kingdom of God.

The essence of all temptation, troubles, problems and the likes is to validate how much value you place over your salvation and other kingdom issues. Many men lost the right they have to inherit the kingdom of God on the account of something more precious to them than God.

When the rich young ruler asked the Lord for the requirement to inherit the kingdom of God; He told him to sell all he had (Luke 18:18-25). The Lord is trying to show us the way to have Him as our glorious inheritance. It is not necessarily putting our belongings to sale but taking them away from our heart and making God our peculiar treasure. This is because you cannot take your heart away from where your treasure is.

We are required to be resolute in our decision to seeking His kingdom at all times. Lets make deliberate effort to put away everything standing in our way to possessing the kingdom. Free yourself from various issues of life that is able to slow you down on the race that is set before you.

The Lord will give us a good heart that diligently seeks Him all the days of our lives in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Splendid Weekend!!!

The remembrance of the workings of God's power in your life by the virtue of His mercy is the most important part of your past. If God has brought you this far; He is able to do even much more!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation." (Luke 1:46-50 NKJV).
___________________________
It is always good to spend quality time to look back and make deliberate effort to evaluate your journey so far in life. I looked back; all I can see is His mercy which gives me joy, peace, rest, sound health, academic and financial support, His rod and staff which leads and gives comfort. All His goodness gives the required confidence to face tomorrow.

The Lord Almighty has done great things. The Holy Spirit continues to teach me the way of life. He is ever faithful on His own part in every aspect of my life. Again, What He has not done; is only what I did not allow Him to do and those ones waiting for the appointed time. Until now, He has no record of failure; neither will He in my life.

I keep asking myself: Why me? He said my ultimate plan for you is to make you an eternal excellence and a blessing to many generation. I cannot but ask Him never to withhold His mercy from my life and to give me the required grace to fear Him all the days of my life.

"O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together." (Psalms 34:3).

The Lord will forever be great in every aspect of our lives in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The Kingdom of God is always a small thing that is of no significance to the perishing soul. Your attitude towards trivial issues of life with respect to holiness and righteousness will surely have great influence on your eternal destiny!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches"." (Matthew 13:31-32).
___________________________
Every negligence towards the will of God is a shift away from God's eternal presence. Each time you choose to do God's will, no matter how small it appears to be, you have succeeded in bringing yourself to God's eternal presence.

We are in a world in which everything that has to do with holiness, righteousness seems to be of no value because of the effect of the end time over the entire human race. This also influence men to prefer walking on the broad road that leads to the destruction rather than the narrow way of righteousness.

However, God has not changed His standard nor His precept even with the changing nature of the earth towards perdition. If you have chosen to follow God you have succeeded in choosing the way of wisdom that leads to life. Although, it may appear to be foolish and insignificant to the perishing world; Righteousness and Holiness is the most important requirement if you must make eternity with God.

Don't turn around to the things you left behind if you have given yourself to God. The Kingdom of God is all about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Rom 14:17).

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The essence of every period of waiting is mainly for accumulation of strength. To have the required strength to meet up with requirements in various affairs of life; you must learn to always wait upon the Lord!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"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 40:31 NKJV).
___________________________
In the beginning, the Lord God almighty needed seven days to keep the earth in proper shape. Every man born of a woman does not walk or eat solid food on the day of his birth. The Lord is able to make everything to work out in a day; but He didn't, just to make it known to all men that everything in life has a waiting period with a definite process.

Every man created by God needs time to grow into what God wants him to be. To be relevant in God's purpose you cannot but pass through some process of acquiring the required character to carry your future.

Therefore, when it seems as if you are experiencing delay in the implementation of God's plan for your life, know that, the Lord is preparing you ahead of time. Also, He is making allowance for your growth and to acquire the needed capacity for your future placement.

In life, there are several requirements with respect to specific domain which is measured in terms of strength. A time is coming when a man will be required either to soar, run or walk. It is only the man who truly waits upon God that will be able to meet up when the time of opportunity comes. As you are waiting upon God diligently add value to your life and be consistent in total obedience to His will.

May you never fail when the days of your opportunity comes in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Entering into the perfect plan of God begins with seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness. For the involvement of God over the affairs of your life; you must make His will your prime concern!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides." (Matthew 6:33 AMP).
____________________________
Seeking the Kingdom of God is more or less synonymous to seeking His involvement in all affairs of life. Despite the fact that the Lord is the almighty who rules in all the affairs of men, the fact still remains that, He will only take pre-eminence over what we absolutely involve Him.

In your marriage, seeking His kingdom and His righteousness demands that the husband should sacrificially love his wife and the wife to absolutely submit to her husband as required by God. This is the only way to have a blissful marital relationship.

In business, career and academics, His righteousness demands truthfulness, commitment, faithfulness and diligence. When you bring down His kingdom in whatever you do; He takes care of the rest.

To keep the works of darkness out of your domain you must always dwell within the circumference of His will for your life. The only way to save ourselves from every cares and worries of this life is to always seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

The Lord will strengthen us to always seek Him all the days of our lives in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Exceptional Week Ahead!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
No matter what you feel, think or decide to always do; the fact still remains that something dies in you each time you commit sin. The aftermath of every act of sin is death!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23 NKJV).
____________________________
What kills a man naturally does not kill him in a day; it takes a gradual and cumulative effort for the killer to get hold of the soul. Irrespective of what your orientation is about sin it does not change its punishment and consequence.

When a man commits sin, he is actually doing a work which will yield death. Therefore, every act of sin creates a wound in the life of a man. When there is a wound not taken care of, it grows to kill the body or put it in disorder.

Sin also deprives a man the right to life and favour before the Lord. Irrespective of who you are and what people see you to be, sin can bring you to the slightest minimum if you give yourself to it. The devil in his attribute will never lose hope or give up in doing all he could to lay hold of you.

Make best use of every opportunity to save yourself from the grip of hell. Be true to yourself and make straight your ways before the Lord. The presence of sin in the life of a man at the judgement bar means perdition. Hear the voice of the Lord beckoning on you not to sacrifice your soul, life, family, freedom, Joy, peace, ministry and His precious plan for you on the altar of sin.

The Lord will deliver us from every grip of sin in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Awesome Worship Experience!!!

The One who created all things understand all things. He is the almighty, the all knowing God who rules in the affairs of men!!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"THE EARTH is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it." (Psalms 24:1 AMP).
_____________________________
Everything is all about God. This is the ultimate orientation we all need to have in all our endeavour.
No man can exempt God in whatever he does. Anything that works actually worked because the Lord allowed it. In the process of fulfilling your purpose in life, you must always acknowledge God because your destiny hangs on what He has said concerning your life.
Even in every area of your strength you must always put your trust in God. Life is just so uncertain; the wisdom of yesterday may not be applicable today. If you will not be disappointed you must never trust your own understanding.
The Lord is not ignorant of the situation of all His creation; He keeps track of every minute details of our lives. He is the only One who can bring out the very best out of your academics, finances, career, marital life and just everything about you. It is a total act of foolishness for any man to think of sidelining God in the whole affairs of his life.
Do you know how to run? Do you have any strength? Always remember that the Lord is the creator of all things and no man can outrun Him. In all your ways allow God to have your back and you will never fail. You should always be mindful of His will in all you do. Be consistent in total obedience to God as He leads you into His precious plan for your life.
The Lord will prove Himself as the almighty over all the affairs of your life in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Stupendous Weekend!!!

Eternal life begins with hearing and following the eternal God in His attributes. To live an error free life, following Jesus is not an option but a must!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."" (John 8:12 NKJV).
_____________________________
The real error in life begins when a man walks in a direction against the will of God for his life. The first step to identifying error is hearing from God.

Life is a mystery. We all need God for a successful pilgrimage on earth. There is no doubt in the fact that darkness covers the earth. If you will not walk in darkness you must follow God in His attributes.

The plan of God for us is to have life and have it in its fullness. Your Joy, peace and ultimate success is embedded in doing the will of God.

We can only have a blissful home when the husband and wife hears from God. The future of a business will only be secured when all the parties involved chooses to do the will of God. Some evil and terrible situations of life will naturally not come your way if you passionately give yourself to walking on the path of righteousness.

Our entire life absolutely depends on God. Let us live in conformity to His will. This is the only way to bring His kingdom down on whatever we choose to do.

The Lord will give us the grace to make HIM our ultimate passion in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Splendid Friday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
A man is more or less an idol worshipper if he claims to worship God and does not hear or walk in His ways. If you are not hearing from God you are definitely fulfilling the will of the devil!!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." (John 10:27-28 NKJV).
_________________________
It is only the man that hears God that can identify and do His will. What shows that you truly belong to God is the fact that you hear from Him and tremble at His word.
Every man created by God lives his life passionately for something. Whatever you passionately worship, cherish and crave for other than God and His will for your life is an idol.
When something becomes an idol to you; it becomes an addict, lifestyle and passion. For example when you see a man who is so very passionate about football; it affects his entire life because it will reflect in his wears, home and words. He will be very vast in it and also take most of His time. It will determine his Joy, sorrow and enthusiasm.
What God asks from us when He tells us to give or submit our life to Him, is our passion, desire, ultimate interest and ambition; so that His original plan for our lives will come to pass and to avoid been a waste away in life.
What is your passion in life? When your passion and any God's will crosses path; who always have the way? It is only the man who makes God his passion that will always hear and enter into His will at every point of need. Eternal life actually begins from hearing from the Eternal God.
The Lord will give us the grace to make HIM our ultimate passion in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Life will never give you what you are not, because what you are is all you need to be what you should ultimately become. The Lord is the ultimate support needed along the pathway of destiny!!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go"." (Joshua 1:9 NIV).
_________________________
The Lord has created in us all we need to be what He wants us to be. Aiming to be what is not in His plans for us is like chasing after the wind.
There will always be wonderful people with great potential around you. However, it does not change the fact that you are created uniquely with special virtues and potential to fulfill your purpose in life.
Don't strive to be like someone else, doing so can be regarded as a way of manipulating your destiny. Your labour will only be relevant when it is tailored in the direction of His plan for your life.
You have not failed until the influence of God's presence is missing in your life. Irrespective of the direction the Lord is taking you through in life; you need to be strong and courageous even in the midst of fault, failure and disappointments.
Discover and always believe in the perfect plan of God for your life. Don't feel insecure about your appearance, potentials or be tempted to place your life on falsehood. Submit yourself no matter how hard the discipline that will help you to becoming what God wants you to be. Always have it in mind that you are not a waste among God's creation but created to add values to your world.
The Lord will teach us to pattern our lives in the direction of the fulfillment of our purpose in Jesus name. Amen!!!

If only we can always hold on to build the broken walls of our relationships; things will always fall in the rightful place. There is always a bright side in every darkness!!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace"." (Nehemiah 2:17 NIV).
_________________________
Love, Unity and companionship is the ultimate strength of every relationship. When the home is divided all strength will be lost. When there is no crack in the wall of our relationships the devil will have no place to have a foothold to enhance his enterprise.
For Husband and wife; "Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. I hate divorce", says the LORD God of Israel . . ." (Malachi 2: 15-16a).
In the plan of God for our homes; He does not expect the husband and the wife to be separated in any way and for any reason.
It is normal to have some issues which is just like a crack in a wall; However, building the broken walls will always prevent our homes from suffering disgrace. The devil is always set to come into your blissful home/relationship at the slightest opportunity.
Patience is a virtue. It is not wise to ignore the gift of God to give enough space for trouble. Always look for whatever you desire within the circumference of God's gift for you. Try to always bridge the gap and
don't ever try to share the feelings meant for your spouse with another.
The Lord will give us all the wisdom to build a blissful home in Jesus name. Amen!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The first sacrifice to offer before whatsoever sacrifice is submitting yourself to God in total obedience to His word. A sacrifice that will be acceptable to God is one done in absolute obedience to Him!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams." (1 Samuel 15:22 NIV).
_________________________
The offering of yourself is your first reasonable service to God (Rom 12:1).
If your life is not acceptable, your gift is nothing to God. If your life is not correct before God or you are living in disobedience, He is not the one collecting your offering but men who received it from you. It is not as if the Lord needs what we give Him to be the God Almighty. He is only interested in our heart of gratitude and so that the resources of the earth will flow among His creation.
Each time we offer any form of sacrifice we are praying to Him; that His blessing will never perish or vanish with our lives. Also, we are telling Him that even in our current state we are so mindful of Him.
However, It is an abomination to offer Him a sacrifice which is a product of disobedience. He will never take glory over any thing contrary to His will no matter how wonderful it may appear to be. His love for you will never make Him to accept your defiled offering at the expense of losing you.
The Lord will give us the grace to repent and be delivered from all forms of disobedience in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The life of a man can never be without a definite expression. A life that does not express the nature of God will definitely manifest the sinful nature!!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature." (Galatians 5:16 NIV).
_________________________
Every man has an exclusive right to exercise his self will to determine the nature to express at a point in time.
When the sinful nature takes over a man's life; he will express sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties and other kinds of sin (Gal 5:19-21). Any of these is a potential threat to your eternal destiny with God.
However, when a man allows God take charge of his life, he will manifest the nature of God which include; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23).
It is quite obvious that both the sinful nature and the fruits of the spirit are validated in us through our relationship with both man and God. People will not but try to wake up the sinful nature in you. We must all understand that the salvation we receive only gives us the power to put the sinful nature under subjection but did not eradicate it totally.
A life in the Spirit will always put the sinful nature to permanent subjection. You will always have the power to be the son of God if you continue to accept Christ in His principle and words (John 1:12).
The Lord will liberate us from every works of flesh and usher us into real and total experience of life in the spirit in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Irrespective of whatever your experience may be with people, the fact still remains that your ultimate responsibility towards men is to show love as a replica of God's nature in you!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one's fellowmen, meeting all its requirements]." (Romans 13:8 AMP).
_________________________
Every man created by God is not expected to live without love. We all need to love and be loved for our lives to be balanced.

We continue to swim in the love of God on daily basis by the virtue of His grace despite all our habitual sins and attitude towards His requirement at every levels of life. This singular reason makes us all to be indebted to love everyone.

Even when it seems as if you are neglected by your loved ones; always remember God's love over your life. He expects people to see Him in you through the Love shown. This is because God Himself is love.

Love is the most effective weapon to win any man. No man is so strong to resist love. It is the bed rock of our salvation (John 3:16). You have not preached the gospel of Christ until you preach His love. It is only an hypocrite that will not be able to share the mercy he has received through the Love of Christ.

Also, don't allow the previous action of men to create an evil seed in you thereby changing the good virtue of God. The best person worthy of our love is the one who seems not to deserve it; even your enemies. This is because God loves you while you were yet a sinner and a nobody! However, to show love, you must accept His love which keeps beckoning on you not to perish but to have everlasting life.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

A wise man will always cherish and nurture to maturity every gift of God in His life. It is only a fool that goes to sleep over every blessing of God in His life!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands." (2 Timothy 1:6 NIV).
_____________________________
There is nothing too difficult for God to do in our lives. It costs Him nothing to answer all prayers and provide for all our needs. However, our attitude towards His blessing is the major issue.

The blessing of God in the life of some people make them to lose their commitment, faithfulness and consecration towards Him. You cannot blame God for giving you a good Job, wife, husband, children, career and other wonderful things of life.

Each time we kneel to ask God to do something for us we are actually asking Him to increase our responsibility; this is because to whom much is given much is expected.

When the Lord blesses a man, he becomes more prone to danger; people will begin to focus their attention on him either to tap from his blessing or to destroy him. Hence, you must never go to sleep over any blessing of God in your life.

Has the Lord given you a good home and a very good relationship? Don't be complacent about it! The devil will always want to take advantage of every responsibility you fail to do. Continue to keep the flame of sacrificial love burning in your home.

Also, don't leave the training of your children to chance but always take a deliberate step to keep the flame of God's love burning in their hearts. In your career don't ever stop adding value to your life. Cherishing and nurturing the gift of God in your life is the ultimate key to relevance in life.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands." (2 Timothy 1:6 NIV).
________________________
To make fire is usually not a problem; to keep it burning is the most important issue. One of the most difficult activities on earth is maintenance. Life has proven over time that the high you go the more resources you will need to maintain balance.
If you will be relevant as long as you proceed on the pathway of destiny you must continue to cherish and nurture the gift of God in your life.
It is true that you have laboured so much in your quest to serve God; you even have a lot of stories to tell about your experience in Him. What matters most to God is not your past but your current state in Him; i.e. if you are still in faith. We must all understand that; until we make eternity with Him our labour is still not relevant with respect to us. We must continue to cherish and develop everything the Lord has placed in our disposal as we press towards the goal so as not to fail nor falter on the rail road of life.
If we choose to be complacent about our growth spiritually and we focus more on our routine activities spiritual death is inevitable. Are you still in faith? Do you still believe in the bible doctrine? Is your Love for God(Holiness and righteousness) not waxing cold? Is your service towards God not becoming casual? Think about these things and fan the flame one more time.
The Lord will revive our dying spirit in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The human body has the capacity to conceal the glory in a man's life. It takes total discipline to wake up the giant in you!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified." (1 Corinthians 9:27 NKJV).
________________________
Many men have good intentions and desire to do great things; but most desire ended up at the level of imagination. You cannot but discipline yourself if you will be what God wants you to be.

In the beginning God created the basic things of the earth and gave man the potentials to create other things. You are specially created by God with great potentials. If you must fulfill your purpose in life you must be willing to take responsibility in the direction of God's will for your life.

"If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land;" (Isaiah 1:19). The flesh loves pleasure; that is why it cannot submit to the law of God. It can cripple your interest, commitment and consecration. It hates discipline and everything that has to do with sacrifice.

It is very easy to spend hours on things that will not contribute immensely to your life, future and eternal destiny. When you stop putting your body under subjection; it will subject your life to degeneration and lost of values. It is a curse for you to be living below your capability and the investment of God over your life.

The Lord has given you all you need to be a blessing to your world. Diligently submit yourself to working out the plans of God through taking the required actions in the direction of God's will for your life.

The Lord will give us all a willing heart to diligently give ourselves to the fulfillment of our purpose in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Your strength is your beauty. The most important responsibility of a young man is to bear his yoke in his youth!!!
*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is their gray head [suggesting wisdom and experience]." (Proverbs 20:29 AMP).
________________________
Every man has a yoke to bear. The earlier you bear it the better for you. "It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke [of divine disciplinary dealings] in his youth." (Lamentations 3:27).

The youthful age is characterized by strength, passion and vision. It is a period when a man lays the foundation of his entire life and also have projections for his life and future. He begins to understand the realities of life. A period when most of the things in his life tend towards permanence. It is also the time to wakeup the giant in you. Your passion, vision and what you apply your strength on determines the actual outcome of your life.

Jesus said: "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:29-30). You are required to put your passion and vision under God so as to apply your strength on what will make you to be what God wants you to be.

Bear the yoke of your career, ministry, marital life etc. now that you have the required strength to do so; This will give you the licence to fulfill your purpose in life.

Give yourself to godly elders to acquire wisdom through learning from their experience. Discipline and submit yourself to whatever will add value to your life.

By the virtue of God's mercy over your life; may you never be disappointed in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The true definition of failure belongs to God alone. The real failure in life occurs when God is not having your back!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever." (Psalms 125:1 NLT).
________________________
Sometimes ago; a man went to the farm with his son. On getting to the farm; the son climbed one of the trees to pluck down some fruits. After plucking enough; He asked his father if he would hold him if he should jump down from the tree. His father gave a positive response. However, his father refused to have his back and he fell down injuriously. He asked His father why he acted that way; he told him never to absolutely put his trust in man no matter who he/she may be. Absolute trust in God is the beginning of success.

Irrespective of what your experience is in life you are not a failure if God is still standing by your side. It is totally and practically impossible for any child of God to fail in life just because the Lord who stands by our side has no record of failure.

A child of God may experience setback in a buildup to having the required character to carry his/her future according to God's plan for him/her but he/she cannot fail.

"Even a tree has more hope! If it is cut down, it will sprout again and grow new branches. Though its roots have grown old in the earth and its stump decays, at the scent of water it will bud and sprout again like a new seedling." (Job 14:7-9 NLT).

It is the Lord who is having the back of any man who is successful in whatever he does. There is hope for you, if you are truly on the Lord's side. Those who trust in Him will never be disappointed.

The Lord will never cease to provide the needed support for your life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Your actions are product of your imaginations. The Lord will take His place in your life each time you allow Him to rule in your heart!!!

*********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23 NKJV).
________________________
There is always a battle over who takes pre-eminence in your life at every point in time. It is only when we allow the Lord to take over our lives that we can do His will.

Every man is allowed to make choices of whom to follow or obey at every point in time. If you allow God to rule in your heart; He will implant the seed that can never commit sin; the seed that overcomes temptation and promotes righteousness and holiness through the power of His words (1John 3:9). However, if the devil takes over your heart; he will also plant evil seed that will always prepare you to act against the will God. For example; it is not possible for a man to steal or commit adultery suddenly, if the seed is not being nurtured before hand.

"When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me". For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. "Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." (James 1:13-15).

Whatever you allow in your heart will eventually be your experience. Don't ever give room to whatever will turn your life against the will of God. To guard your heart, you must always give yourself diligently to the words of the Lord. This is how to preserve your life, relationships, home, health, reputation, ministry, business, career and more importantly your eternal destiny.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Every human enemy is only manifesting the nature of the evil one; The best and the greatest strategy to averting evil from your domain is to overcome it by doing good!!!

********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:20-21 NKJV).
__________________________
The Devil is your real enemy. Any human who looks like an enemy is just a vessel who releases himself to be used by the devil. Therefore, flesh and blood is not your enemy.

"When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him." (Prov. 16:7). One of those ways to please God is to be kind and loving to people irrespective of their attitude towards you. Every kind gesture shown as unto the Lord to people is just like a seed which breeds the nature of God in them.

When you are able to make peace with people, you have succeeded in increasing your friends and at the same time reducing your enemies.

Irrespective of what your experience in life is; you cannot change the words of God and its principle. The Lord preaches love towards enemies and also practice it. He prayed for those who crucified Him. You will always need people like Judas to help to get to the place of fulfillment just like Joseph needed his brothers to be what God wanted him to be.

Don't allow evil to overcome you but always submit yourself to God to allow His true nature to find expression in you. Don't give yourself to prayers that will pollute your heart against other humans otherwise, you will become a murderer. They will also cripple the confidence you have in God and breed fear in you.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

The Lord will not but always be involved in every work He has started in your life. He will always take exclusive glory over His works in your life!!!
********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you." (Philippians 1:6 AMP).
____________________­______
The Lord has no record of failure. Anything whatsoever is at its verge of failure when God is not involved. When any situation of your life is rooted in God; it can never fail.
The Lord will definitely support what will bring glory to Him. He will always build to come into accomplishment whatever He initiated in your life.
We must learn to always accept and walk according to the will of God in a progressive manner so that the work of God will be progressive in our lives. It is in this that our life can be patterned according to His divine plan for our lives. Failure to live to conform to his pattern will create loopholes and problems not foretold.
Try as much as possible to avoid any form of defilement in your life. You cannot be walking on the path of unrighteousness and still expect God to support you. You can't build your life on falsehood and still expect Him to help you to build on it or reinforce it. This is because, He will never take glory over any form of unrighteousness no matter how wonderful it may appear to be.
The Lord will revive His work in your life in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Splendid Friday!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The Lord will never take glory over what He has not done no matter how beautiful it may appear to be!!!
********************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth." (1 John 1:5-6 NIV).
_______________________
The Lord is a righteous judge. He will never share His glory with any man nor allow any man to ascribe to Him the honour which has any element of the works of darkness.
The Lord will only take glory over what He has done; this is because it will last forever(Eccl 3:14). It is on this basis that whatever He does is called a miracle.
For example a woman who got a job on the platform of adultery or a man who bribed his way to get a job can still stand before the people of God to testify about the so called God's goodness. What about those students who got wonderful result through examination malpractices? Won't they say thank God? Which God? Ascribing to God what He didn't do for you is placing strange fire on the altar!
Most times it is very difficult to trust man. Therefore, it is wrong to say the God who did this in the life of a so called man should do the same in your life. There are several gods in the land.
Other ways people ascribe false testimony to the Lord includes:
*When a man says the Lord said and He did not.
*When people are thanking God for every falsehood in your life.
*When you give gift in the name of God but with a special unholy agenda in your heart.
*When you preach any message with a selfish motive within your heart.
Take Heed! The Lord will reject many people on the account of various false testimony they give using His name (Matt 7:23)
Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Inspired Thursday!!!
