Our morning devotion is:-
Topic: *KEY FOR BREAKTHROUGH*
Text: Matthew 16:18-19
*KEY VERSE*: (Matthew 16:19 KJV) And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Key was made to open lock door selflly.
And in key it was made one for each door.
And the key our Lord Jesus christ is telling us is the great master key.
It opens all kinds of door and when he opens it no one can close. No wonder he said who is he that will close when our Lord has open.
When He said yes nobody can say no.

The usefulness of this key is to unlock all the lock pleaces in your lives.
All courses following you knowing or unknowing this morning u will get that key and it shall follow u no more.
That is why He he said, (Matthew 16:19 KJV) And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

How can we get this key
1. By coming close to Him in repentance.
2. learn to trust in His unchanging power.
3. And Humbly ask for it.
When we have that key, we are more than a conqueror. That is nothing shall conquer us.
Now the question is are we having the *MASTER KEY?*
Jesus the same yesterday today and forever.
He has promise, He will never disapointed His own.

As we are going to pray now pray according to the leading of your heart.

Text: 1kings: 19:2-15
Key verse: (1 Kings 19:5 KJV) And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

A song says pick up your broken piece and bring them unto the Lord.
From our text we will see how fear make a great man of God to run away from his duties because of what men has said about his life. But thank God that His the God of heaven and the earth.

In your life your, life may be some how to you.
You try this no way, challenges here and their.
May be you are of marriable age but is look like you still a child, no one to come after you as the sister, as for brothers the boy is good is not in your hand.
The Lord is telling your this morning pick up your broken piece and bring it unto the Lord.

Look at Elijah after his obedient to the voice of the Lord, his miracle words were greater than before.
This morning Arise and eat.
This morning as you will pick all your broken piece your life we never be the same in Jesus name Amen.

Personal prayer
1. Lord make me to be fit for this personal duty.

*TOPIC : His Presence Guarantees Success*
*TEXT : Judges 11:11*

Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord in Mizpah.
Judges 11:11


One major Factor that determines a man's success in any aspiration or goal ; is the presence of God.

In our memory verse today, we see Jephthah going before the Lord ; irrespective of his gift or what he thinks he posess.


Brethren, it is the presence of God that can make us achieve success and win every battles of life.
Let's not think we know it all; but let's take time to seek His face and we will see more of His grace.

Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 says:
_Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths_

Our victory and protection is certain, when we dwell in the presence of the most High God.

Psalm 91:1 says:
_ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty_

May the His presence continue to abide with us in Jesus name.

Have a blessed weekend.

*TOPIC :CARRIER OF GOD'S GRACE*
*TEXT : Judges 11:5-6*

And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob: And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

Few days ago, we started a series from the book of Judges; which is centered on Jephthah.

In our memory verse today, we read about a situation in Isreal which propelled the elders of Gilead to go in search of Jephthah.

Could it be that there's nobody in the whole country of Isreal at that time, who is capable of becoming the captain? Or it was a divine arrangements.



Brothers and Sisters , as long as you belong to God's kingdom ; The Lord has made a way of breakthrough for you through His gift that is inside of you

Judges 11:1 says:
_Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a *mighty man of valour*, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah_

It is the Lord that has made Him so, in order to make him fit into His divine arrangements

Philippians 2:13 says:

_For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure_

The Lord has placed some gifts inside of You. Are you making use of it to be a blessing unto lives?

A day is coming when that gift would become a national demand and you will soar higher in God's glory.

Remain blessed in Jesus

My dear a true, pure, holy and Christian heart doesn't mock at corrections.
Can you remember what Jesus told the seventy when they returned with Joy cos the demons were subject to them by His name, Jesus said 'be ye joyful for your names are written in the book of life'
Count it all Joy to be first saved and secondly useful to God and when you are corrected, don't ignore, take it to your Master who has called you.
I wouldn't say more to you as your attitude says more about your person. I only pray God's Spirit lead and direct you into all things!
One thing I know is 'he that warreth doesn't entangle himself with the affairs of this life that he might please him who hath called him to be a Soldier'

Thank you sir, I was just checking up on you!

Regards my attitude sir on the contrary I just figured out who you truly are. Cos the post I made up there mean no harm. So you should check yourself sir. Best of luck

*TOPIC : SOVEREIGN GOD*
*TEXT : Judges 11:1*

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
Judges 11:1 KJV

Our God is a Sovereign God, who does what pleases Him; he can bring something out of nothing.

Jephthah was a man who was condemned by his community and household; simply because he was the son of an harlot; but the grace of the Lord found Him and made the people who has rejected him to look for him ; begging him to come and be their leader.

Brethren, it doesn't matter what the world thinks or concluded about You, God's purpose for your life will surely stand.

Proverbs 19:21 says
_There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord , that shall stand_

Don't ever look down on yourself, because your creator the Sovereign God is able to bring glorious testimonies out of that unpleasant situation or background.

Rom 8:35‭-‬37says:
_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 thy 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_


When the world keeps looking at background and social status, our God looks at the heart and favours whom he choses to favour.

All we need to do is to make our ways right with him and obey Him fully.

God bless you.

*_Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah,_ and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpah of Gilead; and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.*

And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah. ..... the son of a slut. What an extraordinary and divine grace indeed.
Though he went wayward due to his predicament, he even went to the extent of charging those elders that seemed to be behind his rejection in the first place, but the grace of God found and located him out to fulfill his destiny.
God poured HIS Spirit upon him and he was able to win the battle and got the courage to abide by the covenant he made with God.

I pray that we shall all receive the divine grace of Almighty God to do exploit for HIM and for ourselves in all our endeavors in Jesus mighty name, amen.

HOLINESS(THE ULTIMATE FLIGHT'S PASSPORT)BY BRO GBILE AKANNII am to connect a flight to Manchester from an airport but while waiting for my flight to be called I came across a brother who I knew back in Nigeria who was too glad to see me for he has been under my ministration many times. We discussed nearly everything until our flight was called.The brother got ready his papers and passport but as to my own passport I could not locate it. I searched frantically without success. After sometime the brother had to leave me and commend me to the grace of God to help me find my passport. I ran to the counter, explained what happened to them and asked that they should delay the flight a little so that I can locate my passport because of the crucial preaching appointment i have but they declined.I watched my friend board the flight and I watched the plane go.Despite the fact that my friend was my disciple, he boarded the flight but I could not. My friend as well as some others in the airport has lots of respect for me because they recognise me as a great man of God yet there is little they could do to help my situation. I have so many other and necessary papers intact but without the passport the authorities would not allow me board the flight.The theme being considered at the convention of Methodist church Nigeria rounding up today 19-01-18 in which Bro Gbile Akanni is the main speaker is taken from Heb.12:14- Make every effort to live in peacewith all men and to be holy, without holiness no one will see the Lord.The passport issue came about while Bro. Gbile was explaining the words 'whithout which'.The passport to entering heaven is Holiness. Your status, wealth, position, degree or what have you does not count here. Some pastors would be left behind while people that came to know God through themwould enter the kingdom of God. Some people are majoring in the minor while leaving the most important unattended to. You can score allAs in all other subjects but with F9 in English and Mathematics, no Nigerian University will admit you.The airport authorities has a standard which will not be compromised for anybody. Once you are not qualified you are disqualified. You still have opportunity now to get ready for the ultimate flight, once you die or the trumpet sounds, no matter how frantic your efforts are, you will still have to face the consequence of your negligence. I wonder what else would be important to an international traveller other than the passport. Your passport to heaven is Holiness you better do all you can now to locate it if you have misplaced it else you regret ever coming to the world.On the long run, I was able to locate the passport where I dropped it when packing other things. The booking lady rebuked me sharply for being so careless and I think I deserve it. Anyway, I asked them to help me check if there would soon be another flight going my route and I was lucky there is. But what if the one I missed was the last flight or if the next flight has been fully booked.After the incidence, Bro Gbile learnt to treasure his passport dearly and to hold it. This is an extract from the sermon of Bro Gbile Akanni at 2018convention held at Ikotekpene. Had I known would not be your portion at the end in Jesus name. Please locate your passport now and treasure it dearly. Your flight may be announced any moment.

*TOPIC : Unshaken Faith*
*TEXT : Judges 11 : 11*
*Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them; and _Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord_ in Mizpah.*

What made Jephthah to be a chosen one despite the fact that he was rejected? He had faith that was unwaved. He was a man of faith who knew what God can do despite the prevailing situation then. It is unfortunate that with number of years the Isrealites were under oppression, non of them was brave enough to trust the God of their father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Who parted the red sea for them, performed mighty miracles in their midst, and wage war against the Ammonites, their arc enemies.
It took only Jephthah to take that bold step, and he confronted the king of the Ammonites, dared him, war broke out and eventually won the war.
That singular action of Jephthah put his name among the great men and women of faith as recorded in the Book of Hebrews.
What a great scenario, the once rejected son of a prostitute now being mentioned among the hero and heroine of faith.

I pray that we shall increase in faith, and live by faith because the just shall live by faith, and we shall not be disappointed whenever we put our faith in action in Jesus mighty name, amen.

_Do have a testifying Tuesday._

*TOPIC : Rejected but Chosen*
*TEXT : Judges 11 : 7*
*And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, “Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father’s house? And why have ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?”*

From the story of Jephthah in the Book of Judges who is the central theme for this week daily devotional, it was clearly seen that he was born by a prostitute, thus making him not to be relevant in the scheme of things according to the custom of the Isrealites. Jephthah was faced with reproach and discrimination from even his kinsmen until he had the gut to run away.

Though he was rejected he kept on developing and investing in himself to the extent that some followed him.

Isreal having been in oppression under the Ammonites for 18 years got tired of their state, and seek for liberation. The problem they have is who will lead them to war? It was at this point they remembered the rejected Jephthah, and he was sought after and was begged immensely to lead them to war  even with a promise that he would continue to be their leader after the war.

What a rejected stone that now become a chief corner stone!!!

I pray that in whatever way we have been rejected because of our challenges, God will cause us to be sought after and give us what is due to us even in multiple folds in Jesus mighty name, amen.

Do have a motivating Monday.
*Personal Prayer Points*
1. Thank God for this beautiful day.
2. Father, in any way that I have been rejected due to my challenges, cause me to be sought after in Jesus name.

GSA devotional dated 20th January 2018

Topic : Showing Forth God's praise

Text : 1st Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own[d]purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.(E)(Amp)

For those that have been following up the devotions, we have briefly look at Praise from slightly different angle and today we cap it all by looking at how we can evolve from praising God verbally to manifesting His praise.

Our text tells us that we are priests. This is a restored covenant God had initially with the Israelites (Exodus 19:6) . God told the Israelites that they shall be a kingdom of priests but unfortunately due to sin and disobedience, God restricted the priesthood to the levites( Exodus 28:1). The Old Testament is a shadow of things to come. If God would have all believers to be priests, God wants to show us that through Israel but it didn't quite happen.

As believers, do we see ourselves as God's Own Priests? Are we not having a repeat of what happened to the Israelites?

Why has God separated us to be special priests unto Him... It is that we might show forth His praise. KJV says praise but the original rendering was well explained in Amplified. We are to show forth God's wonderful deeds, display His virtues and perfections. It's such a type of worship that is priceless.

A quick reminder is Romans 12 :1

I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.

Priests are people that essentially offer sacrifices and worship in the Temple. We can see that both religious acts that we saw in the Old Testament is being restored to us in Jesus Christ. However, we now have an understanding that the essence of worship is honour. For our Praises to indeed honour God, it should not just be a speaking forth, a shouting forth but also a showing forth.

Declarations

I am a Royal priest of Yahweh

Am called to a life of sacrifice

Am called to a life of praise

I repent of my ignorance as I step afresh into my office

In Sonship I have an inheritance, in servanthood, I have a Yoke and a burden and in priesthood, I have a responsibility.

I will occupy every place and every seat that belongs to me in Jesus. I will not just occupy, I will function in Authority!

GSA is gaining new grounds, our nation is prospering, God is removing every evil leader , God is restoring families and we are witnessing many marriages in GSA this year in Jesus name Amen.

Have a blessed weekend!

GSA Devotional dated 19/01/18

Topic : Unusual praise for unusual results

Text : psalm 27:6

And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

The scriptures above was not such written in comfort. Many at times, we have been told that how powerful our praise is is dependent on the songs or words or quality of instruments with which it is being offered. But throughout scriptures, two things makes praise deep. First is the kind of person offering the praise and secondly the circumstances in which the praise is being offered.

Yesterday, we said that you can't praise God for who He is not to you otherwise you will just be wasting time. You might say Father you are my everything, if He is not your everything, you are just wasting time, you are not offering praises. In fact somethings we say to God, He looks into our hearts and sees otherwise. God help me!

Unusual praise would be that praise coming from an unusual personality in an unusual circumstance and I can bet you that such surely provokes unusual results...

When praising God, the most important instrument you should be conscious of is your heart otherwise you have missed it

Declarations.

I am an instrument of praise

My life will give Him praise

In all situations, I will never switch off my praising Spirit

The Lord will help me to dwell in praises and as I praise God He will dwell in me

From today, I receive Grace to live a life that gives God praise

As I praise, more of God is revealed to me ,in me and through me in Jesus name Amen!

My new name is praise for am a carrier of God's praise! Hallelujah!

Topic : Mystery of praise

Text : Philippians 4:4-8

Praise is simply reminding God who He is. The mystery of praise is in the fact that for every dimension of God you can catch is a function of His manifestation you will experience.

You can't praise God for who He is not to you. It won't make sense. Praise reveals our level of spiritual depth

In our text today, we are asked to make all requests known with thanksgiving. Actually I would rather say it this way that if there is anything you want from God, remind Him how easily He has the capacity to do them.

Prayers

Praise God for GSA, nation, all the Singles and our families

Declaration

Am an instrument of praise

I am built to worship
I am such a temple where praise is offered

*GSA DEVOTIONAL*
*DATE: 16/01/2018*
*TOPIC: MYSTERY OF PRAISES*
*SUB-TOPIC: Who Should Praise God*
*KEY VERSES: Psalm 117:1 and Matthew 21:16*

*Introduction*
Have you ever thought about who should be praising God.  When you study the biblical scriptures below, you will discover who should praise God. Use these biblical scriptures to help you strengthen your praise and receive your blessings from God.

*1. The Angels Should Praise God*: (Psalms 103:20) Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

*2. The Saints Should Praise God*: (Psalms 30:4) Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

*3. The Nations Should Praise God:* (Psalms 117:1) O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

*4. The Children Should Praise God*: (Matthew 21:16) And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

*5. People of All Standards Should Praise God*: (Psalms 148:11) Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth.

*6. Young and Old People Should Praise God:* (Psalms 148:12) Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children.

*7. All Creation That Has Breath Should Praise God:* (Psalms 150:6) Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. 

*Conclusion*
We will find out that no group of people is left out from who should praise God. Either you are sick of healthy you must praise him, either you are rich or poor you must praise him, either you are in enjoying or suffering you must praise him, either you are old or young you must praise him.

Wouldn't it be surprising to say even animals, trees, stones, rivers, forests, valleys even praise the Lord? Talk less you that is made in his image!

Hence, there is no genuine excuse from anyone for not praising the Lord. You want to say you are busy? I want to tell you king David will surely be busier than you but praises is main method to communicate with God.

*Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.*

*Personal Prayer Points*
Ponder on your life and praise the Lord according to his goodness and mercy on all areas of your life.

*GSA Prayer Point*
Praise the name of God for his goodness upon the group and where he is taking us all to.

Saw this and I thought I should share it!

*The Elephant Rope*

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

Virgin Till Marriage (VTM)
'WE HAVE TWO THINGS LEFT TO DO IN MARRIAGE' : '
The Lady: 'I have been dating this guy for more than 4 years now. There is nothing couples are doing in marriage we have not done. We have lived together, ate together, lost count on the number of time we have had sex together. I have done 3 abortions for him. We have business ventures together, we do have our bath together.

The Lady: We have never fought before. I do bottle up my anger because I have lost so much in the relationship, if I leave him, I will be at the loosing end. But when we get married , he will know he married a lion. I am battle ready for him.
That conversation up there is not a friction. It took place.

What many single guys and ladies don't know is that, there is a whole lot of difference between single relationship and marriage. Some of you don't have anything tangible you are going to do in marriage than to have children. All the privileges, uniqueness, sacredness, sanctity , enjoyments of marriage, you are already exploring and enjoying it now in your dating adventure. Lady, you have turned yourself to 'iyawo ile' in the 'face me face you' apartment of that guy. You are his cook, his mom, his bed mate, sex mate, you have moved your loads to his room one by one. You are all over him, showing desperation.

Dear guy, what exactly are you looking forward to in marriage? You are behaving to that lady as if you are her husband. You are tired of her unclothedness already. Nothing is exciting you about her again. 'see finish' is happening between the two of you. If you marry today, what's going to be a new thing to do as couples? Kissing is not new to the two of you. Your unclothedness is no more new to each other. Lady, nothing is trilling about your breasts again. You are not yet married, but your breasts has suffer in the hands of this boy. Yet to breastfeed oo, yes, your breasts is already looking like that of a grandma. What is new I asked you? What sex position or style have you not done together?

May be like this lady in that conversation, the only two things left for many singles in relationship today is to have children and fight. Some of you will see wrong thing that guy/lady is doing that you don't like, you will keep quiet and bottle your anger. You won't fight and sought it out now, you are waiting to get into marriage and then start fighting. You have enjoyed all the 'peace ' of marriage in dating, only to get into marriage and start war.
Hear me well dear singles, don't cross some lines. You are not married until you are married!

Reserve romance, sex, physical intimacy, joint account, bathing together, wearing the same clothes, and many other things for marriage. There should be some exciting things you are looking forward to do together as couples. Don't do everything you should do in marriage in your dating/ courtship.

Have self control. Right thing done at a wrong time will make it a wrong thing!
Thanks for reading. You can share to bless a single guy/lady around you�#copied

*DATE: 16/01/2018*
*TOPIC: MYSTERY OF PRAISES*
*SUB-TOPIC: REASON FOR PRAISE*
*TEXT: Psalm 117*
*KEY VERSE: Psalm 117*

*Introduction*
In addition to being the fulfillment of a calling, praise is prompted by other considerations, chief of which is the *unique nature of God* (1 Chronicles  29:10-13).
One genre of the Psalms, the hymns, is characterized by an initial summons, such as "Praise the Lord, "which is followed by a declaration of praise, induced by the word "for," which lists the grounds for offering praise, often God's majesty and mercy. The shortest psalm (117), a hymn, offers a double reason for praise: God's merciful kindness (loyal love) is great, and his truth endures forever.

Other hymns point out that;

1. God is good (Ezra 3:10-11 ; Psalm 100:5 ; 135:3),

2. His ordinances are just ( Psalm 119:164 ),

3. He remembers his covenant ( Psalm 105:7-8 ),

4. His love is enduring (Psalm. 136),

5. He is incomparable ( Psalm 71:19 ).

6. Personal experiences of God's deliverance and favor also elicit praise ( Daniel 2:20-23 ; Romans 7:25 ; the healed paralytic, Luke 5:25 ; Zechariah, Luke 1:68 ; the response at Nain, Luke 7:16 ; and Jesus himself, Matt 11:25 ).

7. An intimate relationship of a person or a people with God is sufficient reason for praise. A psalmist, captivated by the reality of God's choice of Jacob, exhorts, "Sing praise" (Psalm 135; Revelation 19:5).

We have so many more reasons to praise our God depending on our individual life, family, work, studies and finances.

We know where the faithfulness of the Lord can't be denied. Hence, we must reference and acknowledge his greatness over us.

*Personal Prayer Points*
1. Take any worship songs to praise the name of the Lord for seeing this day.
2. Appreciate the name of the Lord for where you have been, where are you are and where you are going.
3. Appreciate God upon his faithfulness in your family, academics, work, finances and future home.
4. Pray on other things as led

I have always known that there is exchange of spirits during sex and God's spirit in us leaves when it's being done.

CONFESSION OF A FIRST CLASS GRADUATE
It was an unforgettable sexual intercourse with my girlfriend.

As I stood up from her and was putting on my boxer, something strange happened that has never happened in all my sexual adventure.

Right there in the room, like in a trance, I saw an image like my self walked out of my body.
I was so scared as the image bowed his head and was walking backward to the door.

I screamed, I shouted, I was shivering seriously.
My girlfriend stood up and was asking me what is wrong with me.

She shouted that I should keep quiet, but, No! I kept shouting as I saw like myself walking away from me.
To my surprise, I kept on telling my girl friend to look at this image and she said, she could not see anything.
I became terrified.

It was like I was in the oven, at the same time, it was as if I was in a cold room.

I watched the image walked backward to the door & when it got to the door, it turned to go out of the door, as I watched the back of this image, I saw an inscription written on it ' EXCELLENT SPIRIT'.

I screamed and shouted because, though I am not a serious Christian, but I know what it means to have an excellent spirit and to lose it.

I have been leading the whole department in my school.

Lecturers consult me privately to explain some hard topics.

I was a genius. It is this brilliance and handsomeness that made me the desire of most ladies on campus.
While I was crying and weeping bitterly, my girlfriend bursted into serious laugher.

I was asking her why the laughter, and she said, you are Number 5. I will get the remaining 5 to make 10.
I asked her to explain what she meant, she just laughed harder.

She carried her bag and walked out of my room and said, 'enjoy your shadow'.

Till today, I can't trace this lady. I have tried looking for her, I can't find her. Right from that day, I knew I became empty. I have the best result in my department, but no destiny results to show for it sir.

I lost something that day, I knew I lost it.

I have been praying and asking the Lord for restoration.
Atimes, I feel like I am so empty. I wished that sex never happened or never happened between me and that lady.

I lost excellent spirit!

This was a confession of a guy to me some years ago.
He wept bitterly in my office. I could not comfort him.

He graduated as the best student in his department but if you see him at that time, you will never believe he went to school.

Dear precious one, there is something deep about sex! I know some will read this and scorn it. You only know yourself, you don't know the person you want to have that sex with.

Are there no thousands of people who have lost their own ' excellent spirit' too just because of 10 mins sexual pleasure.

Flee fornication!

Flee adultery!

One round of sex is enough to round off your glorious destiny.

Enjoy sex with your spouse only!

Singles, wait!

You won't die.

Wait.

Before you remove your pant for that guy /lady to commit fornication, think!

Rule your desire or ruin your destiny.

I am warned!

You are warned!

Thanks for reading.This was sent to me by someone and I feel it is important to let people to know about this and be careful because the devil has released so many of His agents going about doing the same thing especially to those with excellent spirit, the genius. Open your eyesooo.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Shalom! #copied# Give ur life completely to Christ b4 it becomes too late. D next hour, tomorrow might be Too late...... ask God to come into ur life now ask him change me from today take me as you son amen

enshy:
Dear Sister In Christ,
I would think it's unnecessary for a young Christian sister whose single goal is pleasing her saviour to be involved in forming such group as this.
Honestly, I think I knew the first time you started this group and I'm not surprised you got the wrong audience.
In spiritual things, it is important not to run by zeal, emotions and passions but strictly by the Spirit's guidance.
It might be important for you to review most especially the aims of the group as dating and building a relationship with God don't blend on same platform...'Can you take fire in your bosom and not be burnt'...'Be not deceived, God isn't mocked, evil communication corrupts good manners'
If we want to be Light and Salt in this world, let's be...Don't let's put a bad name to our profession and calling as Christians..
God help us all! Amen!!

Greetings sir,
Just checking on you again... Do you want to find out how GSA improve lives to the glory of God??.... We are growing and are still growing. You can read our devotionals and be blessed.

Thank you for making me pressed further.

*DATE: 15/01/2018*
*TOPIC: MYSTERY OF PRAISES*
*SUB-TOPIC: WHAT IS PRAISE*
*TEXT: Psalm 63:3-8*
*KEY VERSE: Psalm 63:3*

*Introduction*
Praise, mostly of God, is a frequent theme in the Psalms, the Hebrew title of which is "Praises." Yet praise is a theme that pervades the whole of Scripture. Genesis 1 is indirect praise; direct praise is found in hymns scattered throughout the books of Exodus, 2 Samuel, Isaiah, Daniel, Ephesians, and Revelation. Words that are often used as synonyms or in parallel with "praise, " and so help point to its meaning, are "bless, " "exalt, " "extol, " "glorify, " "magnify, " "thank, " and "confess." To praise God is to call attention to his glory.

*A Vocation of Praise*
Praising God is a God-appointed calling. Indeed, God has formed for himself a people "that they may proclaim my [God's] praise" (Isaiah 43:21; Jeremiah 13:11). God's actions, such as Israel's restoration from the exile, are to result in God's "righteousness and praise springing up before all nations" (Isaiah 61:11). God has also predestined the church "to the praise of his [God's] glorious grace" (Ephesians 1:6; Matthew 5:16; Ephesians 1:14; Philippians 1:11; 1 Peter 2:9). The future vocation of the redeemed in glory is to sing praise to God and the Lamb (Rev 4:11 ;5:12-14 ; 7:12). Doxologies are fitting because they capture what God intends for people (Psalm 33:1 ; 147:1).

In the light of this calling to praise God, the oft-declared intention, "I will praise you, O God, " and the exhortations for others to praise God take on additional meaning. In giving oneself to praise the worshiper declares his or her total alignment with God's purposes. The environment of those gathering for worship, judged by such admonitions, was one of lavish praise to God. Since God is holy and fully good, God is not to be faulted, as some do, for requiring praise of himself. Praise is fitting for what is the highest good, God himself.

*Praise is both a duty and a delight (Psalm 63:3-.*

: *Personal Prayer Points*
1. Take any of your favorite praise songs
2. Thank God because he is going to do a new thing in your life this week of praise.
3. Thank God because with praise this week the walls of Jericho in your life shall fall before you this week.
4. Pray as you are led and ask for any special thing you desire.

*GSA PRAYER POINT*
1. Thank God where GSA is coming from, where it is and where it's going.
2. Thank God for being a partaker of what God is doing through GSA.
3. Thanks God for every soul being blessed from the words of this team either within this group or outside.
4. Thank God for the leaders God is using to direct the affairs of the vision.
5. Pray that the vision of GSA shall not die but be a blessing to people throughout the whole world.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER READ BEFORE OR PROBABLY HEARD TOO! PAY ATTENTION TO EACH ONE AND CAREFULLY THINK ABOUT THEM ALL...!!!


THE THIRTY-ONE (31) SILENT FACTS ABOUT THE RAPTURE*

 

1. It is going to be the next greatest event that will shock all the continents of the world. Matt 24:40-42.

 

2.  It is going to take place suddenly, abruptly, unexpectedly, without warning and without prior notice. 1 Thess 5:2

 

3. There shall be no second version of the event. 1 Thess 5:4

 

4. A greater percentage of Christians may be taken unawares. Matt 24:38-39

 

5. Careless Christians who miss the event will have no other similar gracious opportunity. Matt 13:49-50

 

6. The event shall have no regard or respect for ecclesiastical titles or church leadership positions. Matt 5:20

 

7. It shall be a day when the sheep shall be separated from the goats. Matt 25:32-33.

 

8. The day shall differentiate between the Broad Way Christians and the Narrow Way Christians. Matt 7:13-14

 

9. The day shall separate sincerity from hypocrisy. Gal 5:21

 

10. The day shall differentiate between those who harbour secret sins from those who abhor secret sins. Gal 5:20-21

 

11. The day shall separate those whose lives are hidden in Christ from those who are hiding in the church. Luke 13:27

 

12. The day shall show a glaring, clear, conspicuous, demarcation between Christians who walk on the path of holiness from those who walk on the path of worldliness. Heb 12:14

 

13. It shall be a day of double emotion: joy for some and unimaginable, indescribable, uncontrollable regrets for others. Luke 13:28

 

14. It shall be a day of surprises- some “Big names” may miss the flight while some “Less known” may be on board. 1 Cor 1:27

 

15. Another surprise may be that a man or woman who had faithfully served the Lord for many years may defile his or her garment a few minutes before the sound of that summoning trumpet and miss the flight while a notorious sinner may surrender his or her life to Jesus within the same time frame and go to heaven. Ezekiel 3:20

 

 16. This event may happen now, today, this week, this month, this year or next year! Matt 24:36

 

17. Wise Christians, like the five virgins that took extra oil, are expected to get ready, yes, to get prepared. Matt 25:1-13

 

 18. After the event, all those who are bitter against one another, malicious, unforgiving, jealous, arrogant, haters, hypocrites, drunkards, fornicators, adulterers, adulteresses, murderers with weapons and murderers with tongue etc, shall have enough time to continue in their trade. Heb 12:14-15.

 

 19. When the event is over there shall be revival among those who have chosen to stay behind not because there will be a second chance, no, but because the reality of the event would have struck them like a thunderbolt. But they will have to pay with their own blood. 2 Tim 4:3

 

20. When the event is over, those who are left behind shall no longer be safe to worship in their gigantic, fanciful and multi-billion Dollars/Naira cathedrals. Instead they shall seek safety in caves, bushes and abandoned and dilapidated but hidden structures. Rev 6:15-17

 

21. When this great event is over, each time those who will miss their flight manage to gather for worship, they will pay attention to only one sermon- whether they gather in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North or South America; the sermon will only centre on “How to Meet the Divine Standard and Join the Other Saints”. Rev 14:6-7

 

22. It is also worthy to note that those who will be left behind will never have any business with comedians at their altars anymore. No! There shall no longer be gatherings for entertainments. Whenever, they manage to gather, it shall always be for serious religious business only. Luke 21:34

 

23. The prayer pattern of those who will be left behind will also undergo a radical change. They will not be praying for things anymore. They will only be praying for strength to withstand the tortures of the Anti-Christ and die bravely to join the other saints. None will be praying for jobs, marriages, etc. Rev 8:3-4

 

24. It is equally worthy of note that some of those who will miss their flight will not be able to endure the torture of the Anti Christ. They will receive the mark of the beast and thereby be doomed forever. Rev 14:9-11

 

25. When the ready saints are gone, all our denominational walls of partition will collapse. The man or woman who use to worship in Omega Fire, Jesus Chapel, Exousia Kingdom Gospel Centre, Deeper Life, for instance, will hide in the same place with those who worship in Christ Embassy, Church of God Mission, Assemblies of God, Word Aflame, Action Chapel, Winners Chapel, Lighthouse Chapel etc and nobody will remember to claim superiority anymore because  then they will be facing a common enemy. Eph 4:1-6

 

26. When this event is over, each time believers who will miss their flight manage to gather anywhere for worship, there will be an atmosphere of sobriety. This rowdiness we witness today shall be no more. 1 Peter 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8

 

27. There shall also be a radical change in the attitude of those who will miss their flight towards Bible study. What we have now is an attitude characterized by a high degree of nonchalance and indifference, but when the ready saints are gone, those who will be left behind will begin to take their bible study seriously. 2 Tim 2:15

 

28. All the teens and youths who come to church to please their parents will repent after this great event; yes, they will begin to seek God for themselves.

Rev 19:5, Rev 20:12.

 

 29. When the event is over, all those who will do any form of business in the schools, hospitals, banks, etc, will have to bear the mark of beast (666) or be hunted down and killed like common criminals. Rev 13:17

30. One of the gains of this reminder is that there may be someone reading this piece today who will take a firm decision to ensure that he/she gets on board that celestial flight travelling to glory.

Rev 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22.

 

 31. However, one of the greatest tragedies of this reminder is that there may be someone too who is reading this piece today but who will see no need to heed this warning. A tragedy indeed! Rev 22:11-12

*PLEASE SHARE TO SAVE A SOUL.

*The Morning Devotion In GSA*
*Topic：* *THE PROMISE POWER FROM GOD's presence*
*Text:* Acts 1:1-8
*KEY VERSE*(Acts 1:4 KJV) And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which,saith he,ye have heard of me.

Mr John who has repented for for some years a go. But because his other his own activity he cannot have time for God. One day a little challenge came to him and overcame him right their he understand the Importance of being in God's Presence.

In God presence we will recieve the promise power and will be filled with the Holy Spirit. And when u get it u are an overcomer in Jesus name Amen.
But this morning you can get it.

As He has promise it to us He will perform it unto us all that are ready.
Now the question is are you ready?
If you are ready u are going to promise Him that forever you will being in His presence.

Let us pray

BE THE KIND, THEN MARRY YOUR KIND.

Whenever I think about how i'm going to pay hefty bills, cover the rents, fuel the cars, make sure there's electricity for my family to sleep better at night, send my kids to the best schools and give them the good life that I never had; it gives me a million reasons why I cannot afford to marry WRONG. Not because I need someone who will come and share the rents with me, but because I need a peaceful, loyal and loving wife who will motivate me to go out and fight for her everyday.

A woman who will make coming home to my own house the best thing in the world.

A woman who will make sleeping together at night, on the same bed, the best part of my day.

A woman that will make me drive through KFC and Marcopolo restaurants happily with an empty starving stomach, just so I can have enough room for the delicious fruits of her kitchen.

That woman that King Lemuel's mother prophesied about in Proverbs 31:22; a woman who will make fine coverings for our bed with red roses and sweet scented candles, and still dress up in silk and purple underwear to wait for me in the shower.
... Same woman who will open her mouth in wisdom and speak words of kindness and love even when she is angry.
... Same woman whose fear and reverence for the Lord will stand in the gap for me in those moment where I am too distracted to hear God for myself.

YES THAT KIND OF WOMAN!

... Because I am the kind of man;

I am the kind who will never hang with the boys at the bar until late, sleep out for no reason she doesn't approve, will do all it takes to come back home to my loving wife.

I am the kind who will never sleep in a separate room because of unforgiveness, or make the bed cold by laying with my wife angry.

I am the kind who will never eat outside my wife's cooking, work hard to be home early for dinner, and appreciate her efforts no matter the taste.

I am a Proverbs 31:22 kind; a husband who will rub her feet in hot water with lemon and honey, jump out of the closet in a sexy gucci underwear, give her a back massage in the shower, and you know the rest mushy mushy, halleluyah! ���.
... The same kind who will open his mouth with wisdom and speak in love, kindness and respect, even when angry.
... The same kind whose fear and reverence for the Lord will be like a spiritual power bank to my wife in those times when hers is running low.

BE THE KIND, THEN MARRY YOUR KIND!!!

Thank you sir

Ferisidowu:
.
what church so you attend?

Church of God

From that moment where he takes off your panties and flings them somewhere across the room, to that moment where you start scattering everywhere looking for it to put back on...

You lost every virtue, gave the devil victory, gave him the opportunity to look God in the eye and say "yagaa! See your children, I told you they're taking your mercy for granted, I was right to destroy that good thing you started in Eden, they had no patience to wait then, and they have no patience to wait now."

The devil doesn't deserve a moment to boast over you, please do not give him that privilege, this year refuse to be his testimony.

It is not by power, it is not by discipline.

Heaven does not help those who help themselves, heaven helps those who are totally dependent on God.

Let all your other resolutions be built around staying sexually pure, and see if God will not make your way prosperous, and give you good success.
