Following the ban of Twitter in Nigeria , any one found using Twitter in the country will be dealt with accordingly. The social media usage is outlawed in the country for going against the President and siding IPOB . That's double standard and will not be allowed to strive in the country henceforth.

Are we going to continue sitting down like this? Is it not enough already?

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


God is faithful, God is love, God is king and God his merciful. You need to understand this aspect of God and stop running away from him because you feel you are a sinner.

God alone is just and righteous. He alone can forgive sins, we do not have a high priest that is like him. He knows about our struggles, he has been tempted like us( though he didn't fall) but he knows. Stop running away, realize your wrong and always come back to him, for he alone can clean you.
Here is what the psalmist said (psalm 51:1-13):
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness:
According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions:
And my sin is ever before me.
*Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight*:
That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
Behold, *I was shapen in iniquity;And in sin did my mother conceive me*.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:
And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
*Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow*.
Make me to hear joy and gladness;
That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face from my sins,
And blot out all mine iniquities.
*Create in me a clean heart, O God;And renew a right spirit within me*.
*Cast me not away from thy presence;And take not thy holy spirit from me*.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
And uphold me with thy free spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
And sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Shalom

Judges 20:23-25
23 ( *And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him*.)
24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
26 *Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD*.


You can inquire from God and he accepts and you will still fail, he still remain God. You are very sure it was God who send you, and you still met alot of challenges that nearly take your life, yes he is still the God of wonders.

A story of how God sent the israelites (the firstborn of God) to go do battle with their brother(after they committed an abomination). They went to God and inquired and he told them to go,the first time they went thousands died, the second time they still inquire from God and he still told them to go,and this time around thousands died. They had to go back again to God and fasted, gave offering and this time around they succeeded.

Many christian see failure as not the will of God for them, well as true as that will sound, there are roads of failure you must pass to bring you to success. You must understand the ways of God are not our ways, what he sees we don't see. You must never get tired of going back to God.

There are principles you must obey to achieve whatever result you are looking for. There are lessons you must learn that will bring to you that success you are looking for. Trust God to the end,let him bring to past what he has said to you. Never faint, never be discouraged. God is good and his mercies endureth forever.

Hebrews 12:1
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

A witness is someone who has experienced a particular thing in question. A witness is someone who has partook or is a partaker of some event of result.

In this race we have people who have gone before, people who are watching us to become better and not to make mistakes of old. Some of them serves as ladder for us to climb and some of them as lessons for us to learn and not make such mistakes. There are God generals who have walked upon the face of the earth, men who demonstrated the power and authority of God upon the earth. Men who shock the world and produce Godly result upon on earth. The disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ open up and spread the gospel all over the earth, Apostle Paul wrote books of in the new testament to show us the real intentions of Christ. We have had generals of time old and till present showing us God is true and will forever remain true.

Therefore brethren let us lay aside weights that are pulling us down, enough of the complain and excuses, hunger for more, be desperate to get Godly result. Let your life be for the Glory of God. Be steadfast in your pursuit for the things of the kingdom. Be diligent and patient enough.

Prayer: Father grant us grace, we cannot run this race on our own, Lord take over. Carry us on your wings help us to soar high in Jesus name.

Proverbs 13:20
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:
But a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

It matters who you follow, it matters those in your circle. It matters who is influencing you, because you are also influencing someone else.

Find your self in a circle of positive and kingdom mindset people. Find yourself in the midst of Godly people, grow in a very healthy environment that supports your dream and not the voice that will drain you completely.

Who you listen to matters, what you watch matters. Who tells you about Christ matters, what you believe matters. You are going to scale long distance by the company(positive company) you keep. Know when to cut off people who are not helping you grow. Our Lord Jesus was never found with the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Be wise, let your wisdom come from God.

In all thy getting, get understanding and reap the fruits thereof.

Prayer: Lord order our steps in the right company in Jesus name, never let us walk with wolves amongst sheep's in Jesus name. Grant us a God fearing shepherd that will lead and influence us in your ways in Jesus name.

Kokomo:
Some people tend to avoid both engines becuase they believe they consume lot of fuel when compare to the i4 engines.

For those who have used cars with both engines (i4 and V6) how significant is the fuel usage difference.

Thanks and await feedback

Let me correct this quickly,there is nothing like v4 it is four plug. The v6 is as a result of the meeting point of the plugs,it meets at a v- point

Now let's go to the discussion proper.
In the v6 engine we have 6 plugs and the opening valve is 6 for the flow of fuel for combustion, now while I used a v6 engine the acceleration is superb, you tend to achieve more miles faster than the 4 plug engine.

It does consume fuel but then it's movement balance the fuel consumption. The only challenge is when you stay in places like lagos where you have alot of traffic,then you won't enjoy the car very we.

Four plug engine takes less fuel for combustion because of its 4 valve opening, it takes less fuel compared to the v6. But the acceleration is less compared to v6

All these just describe my singleness . I just prefer to be single to be at peace; not like I don't wish to be in a relationship but there are no true love out there. Pretty girls are preys to predators. Most are pretenders, cheaters and people who just want to chop & clean mouth, in fact even destabilize you emotionally. I have my family and friends, I'm fine with them. They show me true love and happiness..

Proverbs 16:2-3
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;
But the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD,
And thy thoughts shall be established.

Your motive behind the things you want is a very critical point to God. Nothing is too hard for God to give you, but what is your motive?

Many people ask and they did not receive, it is not because God is not capable to give but the motive behind what they are asking is what God is interested in. Who takes the glory is a question many people can't answer. The bible said 'and if I be lifted up,I will draw all men unto thyself'. Many people are asking for a house, a car, money just to show off to their neighbors, their uncle's who told them they can't make it, their former colleagues who had gone ahead etc. And God is saying all this are not my concern, where do you factor me in your request?.

Hannah was a regular customer at Shiloh, her prayers were God give me a child let me show people I can give birth, and God was searching for his glory In that request, he didn't find anything that will glorify his name. But the day the she said Lord give me a child and I will bring him to serve in your house and immediately the prayer was answered.

Change your motive and factor God into your equation, there is nothing too hard for him to do. All he wants is for his glory to be factored in. Go to your closet tonight and repent of your negative motives that does not factor God in, commit your works unto him and allow him show you the thoughts you should have in your heart.

Prayer: Father we bless you, forgive us our trespasses, create in us a broken and contrite heart. Birth in us thoughts of you in all we do and request for in Jesus name we have prayed

2 Corinthians 9:10-11
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness
11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

And
Ecclesiastes 11:1-2
1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Let me show you a powerful mystery about financial breakthrough in this kingdom. This kingdom of God is guided and operated on principles. Principles are laws when obeyed and applied correctly will give a known outcome. Please understand this.

Seed is for the sower and bread is for the eater. For
everything God gives you there is bread and there is seed. Whatever that cannot be enough for you is called a seed,whatever that cannot satisfy you enough is called a seed. In this kingdom we reign by the power of a knowledge we correctly understand and have taking action.

When a farmer has a seed he plants it in a well nutritious soil, this soil must meet alot of criteria for bountiful harvest. The farmer also ensure he weeds and apply fertilizer, herbicide when it is necessary and he knows by harvest time(which is also known) he must receive a big harvest.

In this kingdom you can sow seeds and receive bountiful harvest, your seed can be financial seed, self sacrifice to a cause etc. Just like the farmer, you must sow seed in a fertile soil (a man or woman of grace, a house of grace, a ministry or a church you desire). You must give your seed assignment and you must expect harvest. The weeding and application of fertilizer is done through your prayers (mostly praying in the spirit)

There are two ways to give a seed;
1.By understanding
2. By the leading of God. When you understand a principle, and you are convince of that understanding, then you take action. When you understand the leading of God, he shows you soils to sow your seed.
This is not just a teaching to enrich people it is to take you away from lack and want. Become a farmer and master the act of seed sowing.

Jeremiah 29:11-12
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

See your life may not look like what God has told you today but I assure you his words are true. The words of God will never go back to him void, the word of God upon your life is true regardless of any devil telling you otherwise. You must confess the word of God upon your life daily, when everything seems to go bad, remember the word of prophecy for you.

Whatever the Lord has called you that's who you are, if you hear any other name it is not of God. Learn to trust God and partner with him to bring to past the prophecy upon your life. The Lord may say you are the head today and Tomorrow you find yourself behind, don't worry hold on and confess his words in your life. He is alpha and Omega, this God parted the red sea , he made the blind to see and the deaf to hear. He made impossible to become possible. Trust in him and not in any man. Men are limited but God will remain true.

Prayer: Father let your word come to pass in our life in Jesus name. Whatever you say we are thats who we truly are. We will raise your banner high and sing your praise in a the nations of the earth.

Amos 3:3
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Understanding is very powerful in keeping relationship. Relationship with the holy spirit is based on agreement. If you don't have a legal agreement with the holy spirit you will continue to disobey and miss out on many opportunities. Thank God for his mercies who always has a way of re-routing opportunities even better.

Being obedient is a product of agreement. You must first know about God and agree to his rules and regulations, this is so for you to have better relationship with God. Everything you need is in God but you must agree.

It takes your agreement to follow the leading of the holy spirit. The ways of God are not our ways, you must agree to do things that are you are not used to for you to birth Godly result on earth. I pray the Lord grant us the insight for us to see the importance of tonight message.

Mark 4:37-40
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Storms are bound to happen to us regardless of what we know, who we are. The only guarantee is our Lord Jesus being on our side, dwelling with us and fellowshipping with us all day of our life and forever.

The disciples were mostly fishermen, they have experience storms in their life and on this day the Lord was with them and the storm they encounter was beyond what they have ever faced. They cried out to the Lord he was silent, he was sleeping in the midst of the storm and when he heard them cry he rebuke the storm.

See if the Lord is on your side nothing can be against you. He might be silent but he is with you, hearing from God is good but understanding the voice of silence is divine. Even in the quietness of everything, he still speaks and ensure you are saved. Storms will rage in your life, wind will blow and bend you and feels as if it's taking you, but be rest assured if the Lord is with you, at the snap of the finger it will all vanish. Is this God not too good? Despite our unbelieve, despite our unfaithfulness he is still God and will forever remain so. Don't look at the storm tonight, focus on the Lord Jesus. Allow him stay in your life and see the wind bow before you because you are joint heirs with the lord.

Prayer: In the middle of this storm, in the middle of this rough road we bless you Lord Jesus. We know thou art with us and will silent every raging storm in our life, let your word come to pass in our life in Jesus name we have prayed.

James 1:5
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.


You must come to a point in you life where you search yourself and be accountable for everything in your life. You must know what is missing and what is available.

The wisdom of God sets you free from making costly mistakes, the Wisdom of God gives you supernatural solutions to every and any problem you encounter. The wisdom of God directs your path. The wisdom of God provides answers to every question.

There is the wisdom of men, but the wisdom of God is guaranteed to give you cheap victories all round. So if you lack wisdom, ask directly from God for his divine wisdom in your life.

The wisdom of God in your life is evident, it will produce results out of this world. The wisdom of God spells out his Glory. The holy spirit is the custodian of the wisdom of God. Ask and it shall be given unto you. Kong Solomon's wisdom was heard all around the world, leaders could come and seek for his counsel. This is an example of what the wisdom of God can do.

Prayer: Father we need your wisdom, grant us your Divine wisdom. Help us to be accountable and trustworthy as custodian of your Divine wisdom.

*TOPIC*:The day of Pentecost

*TEXT*: acts 2:1-4 and 17-21
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,And your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above,And signs in the earth beneath;Blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,And the moon into blood,
Before that great and notable
Day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The holy spirit ushered unto us the true ministry of the father in us, he came so we can comprehend the person of our lord Jesus Christ. He came to us to declare the wonderful works of God. He came to give us utterances, for us to declare boldly unto nations the kingdom of God.

Embrace the ministry of the holy spirit,accept him into your life, surrender unto him to teach you all things and not somethings. Men will fail you but the spirit of God, our designated helper will never leave, he is the true revelation of love.

Prayer: holy spirit come, we welcome you in this place. Come fill our heart that we will burn for you. Teach us the ways of God and guide our path in Jesus name we have prayed.

What was it that the dealers told you

They told me how to check for first body, engine number(it must correspond with the pappers if register),vin. How to check for manufactured date tru the seat belt,or by the side of the door.
The sound of the engine,test drive and see if the legs are all ok, engine seat,gear seat etc

Trustme2:
Get money first

That's not true.


Let me quickly share my side of the story:
I love cars,I wish to own many cars. As times goes on I started thinking business and as alover of both agric and automobiles I decide to start something.

I really don't have huge money to say, in my agric business the small change I had could not buy anything but it could pay for my transportation to the market, so I will go to the market get prices of grains, come online and upload. People would contact me, some will buy and I will make my small gain. I started growing from there and expanding.

Now to the car business, I discovered for every business to thrive and stand the test of time,and bring notable profit you must first research properly. As a lot of questions,stupid ones,good ones etc.
I met with some car dealers and I started asking them what to look out for in a car, they told me somethings. I went to meet car owners and asked them what do they really want in a car, they told me their own opinion and also what they look out for. Even at that the answers I got was not enough.
I got a money for one other business but because it was not time I quickly decide to get a car and resell, in my ignorance I quickly saw a post on nairaland of a car, I got the car hoping to make gain. The car was super ok and all that. I did my advert on Facebook,jiji, nairaland, WhatsApp,friends, word of mouth etc. I got calls people priced. The money I was looking for to be honest I got people willing to pay but then time(don't ever sell a car without collecting your complete money). I needed quick money so I can go to the other business the money was meant for. It was a huge risk, you must be a huge risk taker in car business. I sold the car at a lost, and I believe the lost was price for my ignorance now experience.

But I won't give up, set backs are normal. I have been taking risk all my life and I don't get scared. I only want to calculate my risk that's the goal. I intend meeting other car dealers who have cars available,I will help them market. Add my small gain and build fr there till I get enough capital to stand my ground. Being a middle man Is a fast way to get money and grow.
