They that wait upon the lord CHRIST shall have their strength renew..


I am going to show you what my Bible says about it and you can equally share with us what you understand about it too.

Romans account

For what the law of sin and death could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law of sin and death might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh of man, but after the Spirit of God Almighty.


For they that are after the flesh of man do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit of God Almighty the things of the Spirit of Christ. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God Almighty dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of Christ. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.


But if the Spirit of God Almighty that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, God Almighty that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that's​ dwelling in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself is bearing witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God Almighty: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God Almighty, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of God Almighty who has subjected the creature in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation is groaning and travailing in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit of God Almighty, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, which is, the redemption of our body.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man has seen, why does he yet hope for it? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Likewise the Spirit also is helping our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself is making intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that's​ searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he's​ making intercession for the saints according to the will of God Almighty.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God Almighty, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom God Almighty did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son CHRIST, that he, Christ might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them God Almighty also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.


What shall we then say to these things? If God Almighty be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall God Almighty not with CHRIST also freely give us all things?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God Almighty that justifies. Who is he that condemned? It is the lord Christ that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God Almighty, who also is making intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Christ sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



I pray you are able to wait till resurrection morning, when you will be changed in an instant, at the sound of the trumpet and your natural body will be renewed.. AMEN.




Next time you quote that scriptures Always Remember it's talking about your end...

Question: when the son of man shall come back from heaven, will he find waiting men of faith or complainers around the world?

Because iniquity and sin will be rampart and shall abound the love of many people shall wax cold..... Examine yourself if you are still in faith of Christ....

Senate gives Osinbajo 3 conditions to accept Magu


The Nigerian senate has given the Aso Rock Villa three conditions it must meet for peace to reign.

Top of the conditions is the removal of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, and the withdrawal of a statement credited to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo through Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State that there is no going back on Magu’s nomination.

The other conditions include Presidency’s compliance with the resolutions/decisions/ summons of the National Assembly on budget and other issues, as well as prevailing on Power, Works and Housing Minister Babatunde Raji Fashola to withdraw his statement attacking the integrity of the National Assembly.

The conditions were tabled by the Senate leadership before a mediator who is trying to bring the warring sides together.

Sources said yesterday that the mediator enjoys the confidence of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Bukola Saraki.

The parley is understood to have succeeded for now in bridging the communication gap between the two arms of government.

It was learnt that the latest initiative is part of the effort to “resolve the feud between the two arms in a family manner” without any of the sides feeling hurt.

But it was gathered that Osinbajo made it clear that only President Buhari could determine Magu’s fate.

It was also gathered that Saraki told the intermediary that he has no personal grudges against the Acting President.

He, however, said senators were determined to protect the legislative institution.

According to a top source, the three conditions formed the kernel of talks between Osinbajo and Saraki last week, with the two leaders agreeing on a mature way of addressing the “grey areas.”

The source said the Presidency had been trying to address the three conditions with only Magu’s fate still hanging in the balance.

The source said: “We are getting closer to a win-win situation between the two arms. In fact, when the mediator met with Saraki, he said he had “met with Osinbajo and he nurses no personal grudges at all.

“He also said what the senators wanted was that the Senate be respected in accordance with its constitutional mandate by complying with its resolutions, decisions and summons.”

The source also explained that the Presidency has been forthcoming on the conditions set by the Senate.

The source said: “As for compliance with the resolutions or decisions or summons of the National Assembly, the Presidency gave a commitment to the Senate leadership to give due regards to the legislature.

“You know the Acting President is a lawyer and he believes in the principle of separation of powers.

“On Magu, the Acting President insisted that only his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari can determine the fate of the Acting chairman of EFCC.

“He said the Senate would have to wait for the return of the President.”

“Regarding a statement credited to el-Rufai, the mediation has revealed that the governor ran his own errand because nothing warranted the comments in the mandate given to him to represent the Acting President. Neither the Presidency nor Osinbajo can be held liable for el-Rufai’s comments.”

Rufai, representing Osinbajo at a public function in Kaduna, had quoted the Acting President as saying there was no going back on Magu’s nomination for the EFCC job.

There were however indications that the Acting President had directed the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Fashola to “clarify his statement” in a way that it will not hurt the relationship between the two arms of government.

The source added: “This was why Fashola tactically apologised to the National Assembly in an interview with reporters on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Presidential Quarterly Business Forum held at the old Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja.

“He said if he was being misunderstood, his intention was not to quarrel with anybody but to see a better Nigeria.

“The Presidency believes such a mature retraction of Fashola’s virulent comments will assuage the National Assembly.”

In complying with the directive of the Acting President, Fashola had said: “There is no problem between me as an individual and the National Assembly.

“And let me make that very clear, many of the senators and honourable members are my personal friends, and so you don’t fight your friends. But we have a disagreement.

“You will remember when President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, he had enormous support from the leadership of the National Assembly. So it means that we all agree there is a problem.

“There is also disagreement which I don’t think should make us disagreeable about the best way to implement that plan, and I think that is all there is to it.

“It is perhaps possible that in the heat of the moment, while trying to canvass different positions, we are misconstrued as fighting. But I am not fighting anybody. We have a disagreement it shouldn’t make us disagreeable.

“So my responsibility is to continue to engage. Also even if I wasn’t a minister, I am a citizen also, so the parliamentarians are also representing me.

“So these are the issues and if I have been misunderstood, my intention was not to quarrel with anybody but to see a better Nigeria which I believe they also want to see.”

Investigation showed that the Senate might also soft-pedal on its decision to reject nominees from the Executive.

A government source said: “With last week’s talks between the Acting President and the President of the Senate, we are expecting that tension will ease.

“The government has met some of the conditions tabled for peace between the two arms. Although the discussion is still ongoing, the latest mediator has done well.

“Ordinarily, since all the key actors are members of the same party, there is no basis for the Executive-National Assembly face-off.

“The two sides have substantially mended fences. We are hopeful that all will be well soon.”
