ENRICHED IN EVERYTHING - Friday, January 8th.

"Grace be unto you and peace from God or father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ. That in everything ye are enriched by him, in all utterance and in all knowledge " (1Cor. 1:3-5)

One of the many definitions of Grace is "Help" i.e. Divine assistance or free gift, something which you don't have to labor for, which has been paid for by another. Then according to vs 4 of our text, Apostle Paul was saying God has bestowed upon us help, divine assistance, or free gift, this free gift that our Lord Jesus Christ has given to us is just not in one aspect or realm of life but in "Everything". Spiritual, Physical, Material and Emotional/Whatever blessing of God you desire, you are already enriched with them.

"Therefore let no man glory in me for all things are yours" (1Cor. 3:21-22)

Therefore, come out of that feeling of emptiness and lack and believe what the word of God said about you. However, for you to know those things that have been freely given to you, you need to be filled with the Spirit of God (1Cor. 3:9-16). And you cannot claim what you don't know. As the Holy Spirit begins to reveal them to you then you can claim them by faith. I pray that the testimonies of those things which has been given to you will be confirmed in your life this month and that you will not come behind in any of the blessing of God in Jesus name. (AMEN)

SHALOM!!!

YOU'RE PROTECTED FROM EVIL - Thursday, January 7th.

"Hide me in the shadow of your wings." (Psalms 17:8 NIV).

Here are three ways you can open yourself up to the power of evil:

1) By Choice: The author of "The Satanic Bible", Anton Lavey, said, "A successful witch or wizard must first surrender totally to satan." You're probably wondering what kind of person would say or do such a thing. But the fact is, God gives each of us a free will capable of surrendering to Christ or to satan. Paul writes, "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves... so... present your (bodies) as slaves of righteousness" (Romans 6:16, 19 NKJV).

2) By unrestricted indulgence: When any natural desire is indulged to excess, it can become an addiction and a force of destruction. Now, let's be clear here: addiction doesn't mean someone is demon possessed. Many Christians battle stubborn habits, and Christ has promised to set them free (John 8:32). When you were saved, Christ moved in and satan moved out, because Christ won't live in a building with the devil.

3) By dabbling in the occult: God told Israel that those who put there trust in mediums were to be cut off from the community (Leviticus 20:6). Ever wonder why spiritual mediums can't pick the right lottery number, win a fortune and feed the starving masses? Because they're fake, that's why! Speaking of satan, Jesus said, "There is no truth in him... he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44 NKJV). Don't mess with the power of darkness. The only true guidance that comes from a star comes from Jesus, "the Bright and Morning Star" (Revelation 22:16 NKJV)

SHALOM!!!

Griffon:
Well I must admit I've not been seeing alot of his game to come to that conclusion though.

I have always had the impression that the fella is in the category of Oezil and Mata. Fellas who cant work their socks off for the team.

That said, I'll still have Mane.

I'm sure you've not seen Mesut this season, he tracks back, defends and all. He also covers lots of ground on the pitch, so don't put Him in that category. Mesut Ozil work his socks off for the team.

DEALING WITH THE STRONG MAN - Wednesday, January 6 2016.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph 6:12)

Strongman of the world hold people captives, they exercise evil power and authority over them. They tame, delay, destroy and place hold on the lives of those under their trap. Dealing with the strongman of your life needs different strategies. The most important thing is to develop a hearing ear in the spirit.

Note that in the life of Moses, in dealing with the strongman in Egypt. He employed different strategies, the first strategy, was that He targeted the water of the land, water is life. He dealt with the spirit of water in the land and turned the water to blood.

The spirit of water would have debarred him from enjoying the divine attention of God. There is power in the blood. Any water that is giving your strongman power and life, through strategic prayer you can turn it into the blood that has efficacy over all powers.

The next strategy was the human agents and indeed all the people under Pharoah. Moses used lice and boils to attack them, these two instruments gives discomfort and pain. If you allow your strongman to enjoy giving you what you are supposed to give him, then there is a great problem. Avail yourself with the Word of God and power to deal with the strongman.

Do not allow him to get rid of you. Instead, rain fire and brimstone on him and it shall be well with you.

THE GIFT OF ETERNITY - Monday, January 4.

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. (Romans 5:10)

As the ultimate free gift of God's grace, Jesus was given for us (dying for our sins): "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all" (Romans 8:32). Moreover, He was given for us to be given to us (that He might express His life in and through us).

We began as enemies of God. Certainly, we were lost and condemned. Yet, our situation was even worse than that. Our lives worked against the purposes and plans of God: "And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works" (Col. 1:21). Our evil thoughts and activities set us against the Lord in both mind and deed.

The only way that we could become the friends of God was for Jesus to be given as a sacrifice for us. "When we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son."

The Lord has to deal with our dual problem of sin and unrighteousness." For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him " (2 Corinthians 5:21). The Father graciously placed our sins on His son that He might give His righteousness to us. For all who would believe in Christ, this brought the precious gift of reconciliation (the turning of enemies into friends).

Even after this rich grace of reconciliation, the Lord has "much more" yet to give us. "For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life."

SHALOM!!!

SECURING GOD'S PRESENCE - Thursday, December 31st 2015.

And the patriarchs moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him. (Acts. 7:9)

The greatest asset of anyone is the presence of God.

The consciousness of His presence gives you confidence to face the more formidable opposition and be sure of a victorious walk into destiny.

When God is with you, everything the devil plans to frustrate you with will end up working for your favor. It was God's presence that secured Joseph's destiny and ensure that Joseph got to his destination in life.

Moses embraced the presence of God as his greatest asset to accomplishing his divine assignment.

When you embrace and secure His presence, you are sure to have Comfort in the midst of trials, Courage to overcome life challenges (Deut. 20:1), Strength to pursue and accomplish the goals God set for you (Gen. 28:15), and guidance to your destination safely & speedily (Ps. 32v8).

God's presence will be activated upon your life as you enter the new year, when you are in God’s will and actively obeying His commandments. Make it your pursuit to secure God's presence daily in your life in the coming year.

God Bless You and Happy New year.

SHALOM!!!

FORGIVENESS - Wednesday, December 30 2015.

Forgiveness is the intentional voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitudes regarding an offence i.e letting go off negative emotions such as revenge with an increased ability to wish the offender well.

Forgiveness is different from the following;

1. Condoning: Failing to see the action as wrong and in need of forgiveness excusing the offender.

2. Excusing: Not holding the offender as responsible for the action.

3. Pardoning: Granted by a representative of society i.e Judge.

4. Forgetting: Removing the awareness of the offence from consciousness.

5. Reconciliation: Restoration of relationship.

All these aforementioned are good and very okay but cannot be compared with the act of forgiveness. When you learn forgiveness and begin to apply it in your daily living, you will be more happy and healthy. (It helps in preventing Cardiovascular and nervous system diseases).

Forgiveness is a slow process and not a one time choice. In conclusion, you have not forgiven a person until you have freedom towards the person.

SHALOM!

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW JESUS! - Tuesday December 29, 2015.

"Don't you know Me...?" (John, 14:9)

A fascinating encounter took place between Jesus and Philip. When Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father"... Jesus answered:" Don't you know Me, Philip, even after I have been among you for such a long time?" (vv.8-9 NIV).

There's a lesson here for all of us. You can go to church regularly, serve on the board and sing in the choir, yet not really "know" the Lord. To truly know someone, you must spend time with them, sharing and opening your heart. In other words, the relationship must become your top priority. The Bible says, "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel" (Psalm 103:7 NKJV). Israel knew God's acts because they were observers, whereas Moses knew His ways because he was intimate with Him. Israel saw what God did; Moses was close enough to understand His thinking and why He did what He did.

Three times Jesus asked Peter, [b]"Do you love Me?" (John 21:15 NKJV). The first two times Peter answered, "Yes." The third time, frustrated by the question, he answered, "Lord, You know that I love You" (v. 17 NKJV). Note the words, "Lord, You Know." You can fool others, and even yourself, but the Lord knows the quality of your love for Him.

Today His desire is to draw you closer to Himself. Are you available?

SHALOM!

Spy360:
Chambers was really good today. Nice composure. He needs to gym to improve his stamina.

Calum Chambers was really good today. Not convinced The Big Man would use him there if Flamini was fit but was miles better today.

Don't want to get carried away, I know it was only Bournemouth but didn't Chambers play well ??

MAKING YOUR WORDS WORK FOR YOU - Monday, 28 December 2015.

God didn't create us to be average, He didn't create a mediocre, and He didn't make us to get barely by.

We were created to excel and be the head. Your words and thought play a significant role in your life; one of the best way to improve yourself is by your words.

You are what you say, The Bible also confirms it that "We'll eat the fruit of our words". Our words set the direction for our lives, the scripture also says "With our tongue, we can either bless our life or we can curse our life".

You believe your words more than you believe anyone, think about it, your words go out of your mouth and they come right back into your ears.

It is very important to get in a habit of declaring good things over our lives every day.

As you speak affirmatively about yourself, you'll be amazed to discover that you are getting strong emotionally and spiritually and that image on the inside is changing for the better.

SHALOM!!!

BECOMING GOD'S BEST FRIENDS (2) - Thursday, 24 December 2015.

Prov 3:30, James 4:8.

Like any friendship, you must work at developing friendship with God. It won't happen by accident. If you want a deeper and closer relationship with God, you must learn to continually open up to Him.

1. Through Constant Conversation;

You can't get close to God by just attending church once every week or having a quiet time. Friendship with God is built by sharing all your experiences with Him.

God wants more than a daily exercise with Him. He wants to be included in every problem and even every thought.

2. Through Continual Meditation;

A second way to establish a friendship with God is by thinking about His word throughout the day. This is called meditation.

Meditation is often misunderstood as some difficult, mysterious rituals practiced by isolated monks and mystics. But meditation is simply focused thinking.

When you think of God's word over and over, that's meditation. You have to value God's Word above everything else.

3. Choose to be honest with God;

The first building block of friendship is honesty, God doesn't expect you to be perfect, He wants you to be completely honest with him. If perfection was a requirement for friendship with God, we would never be friends with him.

SHALOM!

So Barca won't be retaining the CL.

Fkhalifa:
Guy your head they there o, they sha want to blame ramsey for everything, the guy tackled them at our box several times, and even still had the energy to run at them at 86mins, since ozil doesnt shoot, we need another mielfielder to attempt goal thats if there isnt any player in a better position to shoot..
Aside wilshere and Rosciky and sanchez no orther playet has the energy for that box to box position for good 90mins...

TBH, carzolas best position is the ozil role, but we cant afford to sit one on bench, he can only be good at cm and lw but not his best.
Carzola is good on the ball, disciplined and good at lauching good pass better than ramsey but he isnt as energetic like before,he cant drive and that slows our game to side pasding possesion boring foorball,i doubt he can run at oppositions,cant break up play and often bullied in the middle

i laugh when they expect him to track yaya down.

Same Cazorla Dele alli bullied off the park, loool. Ramsey's energy Is needed in that middle, better than getting side ways boring passes all the time.

BECOMING GOD'S BEST FRIEND (1) - Wednesday, December 23rd, 2015.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:10 AKJV)

God wants us to be His Best Friend. Our relationship with God has many aspects. To Us God is our creator, Maker, Judge, Redeemer, Father, Savior, Lord, Master and much more.

But the most shocking truth is that God wants us to be His friend. In Genesis, we saw God's relationship with man; it was a relationship of friends before the devil came to cause a separation, but because of His love for Us, He sent Jesus(His only begotten Son) to restore us back to our former relationship with Him.

We were made to continually live in God’s presence, but after the great fall of man, the relationship between God and man was lost. God invite us to enjoy friendship and fellowship of the Trinity with; Our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Knowing and loving God is our greatest and being known and loved is God's greatest pleasure.

There are ways through which we could become God's best friends;

1. Through constant conversation with Him.
2. Through continual meditating on the Word of God.
3. Desire fellowship with God more than anything else.
4. Choose to obey God in faith.
5. Choose to be honest with God.

SHALOM!

No you can't expect Ramsey to create chances, score goals, tackle, press, pass/keep the ball and run up/down for 90 mins. Cazorla can't do half of that. You guys should free Ramsey abeg, He was immense in the middle with Flamini yesterday.

BREAKING FREE- Tuesday, December 22nd, 2015.

The decisions we make today don't simply affect ourselves; they affect our children and the generations to come.

Some of us today, suffer as a result of the decision or mistakes made by people who came before us.

Even the Bible talks about how the iniquity of the father are passed from one generation to another and now, the results of those choices are now showing up in our lives today. But you can change things around you.

You can be the one to choose the blessing and not the curse. One step to overcome this generational curses is to recognize what you're dealing with and identify it.

Don't ignore it, don't try to sweep it under the rug and hope that it will go away, it won't. If you're lazy and undisciplined, don't make excuses, just admit it and say "I'm going to deal with this", if you don't treat other people with honor and respect, don't try to convince yourself that everything is okay. Admit it and deal with it.

Swallow your pride, confess your weakness and get the help you need so you can be free.
Confess your faults to one another and pray that you may be healed.

SHALOM!

MAKE THE TREE GOOD

"Either make the tree good and it's fruit good, or make the tree rotten and it's rotten, because a tree is known by its fruit." (Mathew 12:33)

What seed do you have within you? You ought to answer this question sincerely if you tend to live a life pleasing unto God. What makes a tree is its seed; the quality of the seed determines the quality of the fruit the tree will produce.

The scripture testifies against all man that we all came from bad seed. It is therefore a normal thing for a normal man to misbehave, to think evil thoughts because he does not have the capacity to do better. It says, "for all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God". (Romans 3:23) We all came out from contaminated seed.

Meanwhile, the reason Jesus came was to give you a new seed; He came to give you the capacity to think and act like God in this world. Jesus came to give you a new birth, the experience that will give you a new status entirely. The Bible says, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin for its seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1John 3:9)

SHALOM!

If Guardiola's so overrated, why doesn't every manager of every top side have the same level of success? Oh yeah because he's not overrated.

Was busy laughing at Mourinho then I remembered Sanogo is still an Arsenal player. Damn, mood changer.

WHO IS THIS LORD?

This is the question the enemies always want to ask his legally captured captives any time they demand their release.
But the Lord was introduced in Psalm 24:7
Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
He is the great King
The Lord, strong and mighty
The Lord victorious in battle
The Redeemer of Israel
The Holy one of Israel
The One who parted the sea
He is the one who killed the firstborn children of Egypt

The same God will show up and plead your case and deliver you from the terrible grip of the enemy in Jesus name.
It is the practice of the enemy not to want to release his captives especially when the captive has been serving the good cause of the wicked according to the statement in Isaiah 14:12, 17 and Jeremiah 50:33.

Wherever the wicked has held you bound the same God of Israel will arise and show up and fling open the gates that have held you bound in Jesus name even if you have walked yourself into the hands of the enemy, as the Israelites did.

You shall be delivered. ONLY trust in the Lord.
The captive of the mighty shall be delivered according to Isaiah 49:24-25.
This month is your month of DELIVERANCE, even though you might have been a legally captured captive through evil dedication, parental curse or self inflicted curses, THIS IS YOUR SEASON OF DELIVERANCE AND YOU WILL HARVEST REST ON EVERY SIDE IN JESUS NAME.

SHALOM!
