PRAYERS FOR CHILDREN 1. Father, thank you for the gift of children. Thank you Lord for all the children around me; thank you for their lives, health and sound mind. 2. Father, I ask for mighty testimonies over all the children I come in contact with. Let me always have reasons to rejoice over them. 3. Father, please build a wall of fire around all the children in my family, church, and community. Make them untouchable to the devil and his agents, in Jesus’ name. 4. Father, please surround the children around me with the right people. Do not allow them to be influenced wrongly, in Jesus’ name. 5. Father, pour out Your Spirit on all the children around me.

Father, as we celebrate Children’s Day across the world today, please remember those who are looking up to You for children of their own and grant them answers to their prayers, in Jesus’ name. 8. Father, give all the children in my family, church, community, and the nation as a whole, hearts that yearn for You. Let them grow up pleasing You and doing Your will at all times, in Jesus’ name. 9.

Please raise a standard against every evil plan of the enemy concerning them, in Jesus’ name. 12. Your personal prayer point for all the children around you. Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye. |
Education / Re: UNIBEN Lecturer, Tony Asekhuno, Accused Of Sexual Harassment By Students by bukatyne(f): 7:57am On May 28 |
spiceadole: Like you said, the lecturers have a target market: average & dull students. So it is easier for the lecturer to say 'sleep with me & I will move you from F to D' or another ridiculous grade. The evil lecturers ( I actually think it is evil to prey on weak girls academically) have co-evil students who act as identificators of their target. These students are so crazy that one in my school was in charge of notifying the girls and taxing the boys who were to 'sort' to pass. I also observed that if lecturers know a girl to be promiscuous, they want to 'collect their own share'. And if a girl sleeps with a lecturer, the other lecturers in the click who have an influence over her grades want to do so too. In all, I have seen girls rather fail than sleep with the lecturer. In my school, a girl & her boyfriend set one up, another girl got her parents to beg, another one ran to her fellowship and they made him a prayer point. While the girls capitulated out of fear & desperation, it is not rape except he physically forces himself on them. If a lecturer is harassing you for sex and invites you somewhere, common sense will tell you that he wants to at best continue the harassment and at worst sleep with you. I hope there is enough evidence outside social media rant to nail him. 1 Like |

MORNING DIGEST! LIFE AND TIME (Part 268) LIFE: Living Into Future Enterprise. TIME: Thinking Into Momentary Enterprise. Beloveth child of God, our heavenly father fought the fight of words for you and I to be alive. It was after consistent declarations that God finally saw that every thing He hath made was good. Genesis 1:31. John 6:63; It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. If it is the spirit that quickeneth, and the words that Jesus speaks are spirit and life, then it is pertinent to realize that whatsoever is happening with, within and around every man is rooted in words, either spoken into, spoken to, received or spoken by that person. Matthew 12:36-37; [36] But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [37] For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. In essence, every word have the propensity to produce according to the words and the intent for which it springs from, including the idle words. Beloveth child of God, watch your words. To be continued… prayer: LORD, in the name of Jesus, I nullify every word working against my life and destiny now in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen! *REMEMBER: THE GREATEST BATTLE IN LIFE IS THE BATTLE OF WORDS.* Thank you for your time and God bless you greatly… I love you... Evang.

Foreign Affairs / SA's Ruling ANC Accused of Excluding Jews From National Elections Events (PICS) by WannaHowzit(m): 7:35am On May 28 |
It was symbolic that the ANC’s final Siyanqoba election rally on Saturday at FNB Stadium was adorned with a giant Palestinian flag instead of a South African one. The ANC byline “let’s do more together” falsely gives the impression of national unity. However, it hides the reality that for the first time, SA Jewry wasn’t invited to give a prayer at the ruling party’s final rally, as we had at every such event since 1994. The final message that the ANC wanted to leave voters with was that their priority for their seventh term in office would not be dealing with our failing our economy, nor the declining employment figures. It would not be about addressing the electricity, road, health care or water crisis, nor would it be about getting a handle on the corruption plaguing our country. What they would continue to focus on was their obsessive project – the issue of Palestine. Their meaningless platitude of displaying the giant Palestinian flag is just that. It is making it clear to South Africans that after 30 years of our democracy the red, green and black are more important than the colours and meaning of our own flag and our own issues. If the ANC’s focus was genuinely about resolving the tragic situation between Hamas and Israel that would be one thing. If they had truly come out to end this horrific war, with the suffering of so many innocents in Israel and Gaza, maybe we could understand this. But using their influence with their friends Hamas to release the Israeli hostages, which is the one factor that could truly end the war, is something they stubbornly refuse to do. Instead, President Cyril Ramaphosa decided to remove a call for the release of the hostages in his speech on Saturday. He chose rather to repeat the genocidal call to remove Jews from Israel “from the river to the sea”, a call not for peace but continued war until Israel is destroyed. Compared to how it deals with all other international disputes, South Africa has approached this war in an unapologetically one-sided manner. It has done so from the very outset, from the day Hamas militants entered Israel murdering and raping civilians at a music festival and in their homes, as well as taking hostages, 125 of whom are still captive in Gaza. We, as SA Jews, are not surprised by the double standards shown by our president and the department of international relations and cooperation. We know too well that when dealing with the Jewish state, different international relations rules apply. We are equally appalled that our government has used this conflict to exclude and marginalise its Jewish community. A cornerstone of our democracy, spearheaded by former president Nelson Mandela and our constitution, is the premise that “South Africa belongs to all who live in it”. There has always been a commitment to protecting and including minorities. Until now, that is. Prior to the final election rally, Deputy President Paul Mashatile excluded the leadership of the Jewish community from participating in a “Government and Western Cape Inter-faith Leaders” engagement on 3 May. This was despite stating in his remarks on that occasion that “As government, we are committed to upholding the rights of all religions regardless of beliefs or religious affiliations.” For the first time in our new democracy, SA Jewish leadership was not invited to be part of a government interfaith engagement. The deputy president’s office acknowledged this exclusion but have yet to provide reasons. Mashatile assembled a further inter-faith initiative, #NationalDayOfPrayer, which his social media account described as “affirming the ANC’s undying support for faith-based organisations”. He explained the event was to create an interfaith movement to bring together leaders of religions to work together. Again, SA Jewry were excluded. Thirty years of participation in every interfaith and social cohesion event in our country and now the Jewish community is banished from these structures. Recently, the SA Jewish Board of Deputies Cape council hosted an election debate with eNCA television. It was held at the SA Jewish Museum in Cape Town, which is housed in the oldest synagogue in the country. Although the ANC Western Cape had accepted the invitation weeks beforehand, on the day they issued the ultimatum that unless the venue was changed, they would pull out. Since when does the ANC, with its policies of inclusion of minorities refuse to put foot in a Jewish location? As we go into the seventh national elections of our 30-year democracy, the vibrant colours of the flag that once upheld every South African are dimming. It is becoming quite clear that the ANC is today doing its best to exclude a minority that has consistently sought to be part of creating and building up our democracy. It is airbrushing Jews out of our rainbow nation. • SOUTH AFRICA VOTES ON WEDNESDAY, 29 MAY. 1 Share

Religion / Re: Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional 2024 by Skyfornia(m): 6:13am On May 28 |
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 28TH MAY 2024. Pastor Chris THEME: OUR ADVOCATE THEME SCRIPTURE:...And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous (1 John 2:1). Some have said that since Jesus went to heaven, He’s been begging the Father on our behalf to have mercy on us and forgive us our sins. That’s absolutely absurd. If that’s what He’s been doing since He ascended to heaven, why then did He come to die for our sins in the first place? Jesus Christ is our advocate, but with the Father. He’s our advocate on the Father’s side. He’s not bringing arguments to the Father in order to convince the Father not to punish us; no! He’s the Father’s lawyer, appointed by the Father on our behalf. He’s the one who helps us insist on what belongs to us. He sees to it that we walk in the vital reality of all that His death, burial and resurrection consummated for us. The Father isn’t against us; rather, He "employed" Jesus as our lawyer against our accusers. Imagine you have a case where an accuser is charging you with an offence, and your dad hires the best lawyer to represent you. Jesus Christ is that lawyer; He’s not defending you from the Father’s wrath, for God isn’t your accuser. We’re not appointed to wrath: “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). It’s the devil who accuses God’s people (Revelation 12:10). But the Father got Jesus as your advocate. But did you know the Holy Spirit is also your advocate? Yes, He is. In John 14:16, Jesus said, “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter….” The Amplified Classic gives us six synonyms of the word “Comforter” translated from the Greek “Parakletos”, and one of them is “Advocate.” The Holy Spirit is your advocate—counsel for the defence. He doesn’t just watch from the background as we grapple with forces and circumstances that assail us; He comes right into the middle of the heat and takes charge with us. He engages our adversaries. Never forget this: Jesus is our advocate with the Father, while the Holy Spirit is the Father's advocate with us. So, there's one advocate in heaven, and there's another one here on earth in us and with us. How can we lose? How could we ever be disadvantaged? It's impossible. prayer Dear Father, I thank you for loving me and making provision for me in heaven and in the earth to live free of condemnation and accusations, producing fruits of righteousness, and manifesting the love of Christ today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 8:34* Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpers our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. John 14:16 AMPC* And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever DAILY SCRIPTURE READING 1-Year Bible Reading Plan: John 13:31-14:1-14 & 2 Kings 23-25 2-Year Bible Reading Plan: 1 Corinthians 14:1-9 & Proverbs 24 |

✝️📗DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL Date: 2024-May -28 🎯TOPIC: PARTNERSHIP IN EVANGELISM THROUGH GIVING ✝️ TEXT: Philippians 4: 10-19(NKJV) 4:10. But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 4:11. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 4:12. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 4:13. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 4:14. Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 4:15. Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 4:16. For even in Thessalonica you sent [aid] once and again for my necessities. 4:17. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 4:18. Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 4:19. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ✝️ STUDY: Today's passage reveals two bible verses - perhaps, the best-known and best-loved verses in the entire chapter. First, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”(v.13). Second, “And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (v.19). The former explains Paul's contentment in the ministry-He had learnt to live in contentment throughout all stages in his ministry: In need and plenty, in sorrow and joy, etc. The latter is Paul's blessing to the Philippians. Paul blessed them because they had met his need in the ministry through their acts of giving. Paul emphasised that this was the only church that supported his ministry both to the churches he pastured and his personal needs. This is a reminder to all ministers of God and Christians that everyone has their roles and duties to play if the gospel must continue to move forward in our generation. We must learn to be contented in all seasons; Lack is not an excuse to steal or embezzle church funds, lest we lose our dignity. We should also emulate the Philippians who seized every opportunity to care for the propagation of the gospel and betterment of God's ministers. In other words, because they gave their material resources to God, to the point of endangering their own livelihood, God would supply their every need. The church today should seek such blessings! ✝️prayer: Lord, please strengthen me to get involved in the expansion of Your Kingdom, Amen! |
Religion / Set The Tone by Mogbonjubola55: 10:11pm On May 27 |
I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. (Psalm 34:1, NLT) When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you do? Do you look for God’s goodness? Do you set the tone for success, favor and blessing? We’re in the second month of the new year. Last year may have had some hardships and difficulties, but it’s time to set the tone for a new season. The scripture tells us that the darker it gets in the world, the brighter it’s going to be for God’s people. Things may be bad all around you. People may be negative, complaining and discouraged, but don’t let that spirit rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you’re going to shine. Be determined to set the tone for the new year by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future! prayer Father, I will bless You at all times. I set the tone to receive Your favor, grace and mercy. Thank You for Your faithfulness to me at all times in Jesus' name! Amen. by: Pastor Joel Osteen |

While studying, pray and say: "Lord Jesus, I just want to know the truth. I'm lost and I need help. Open my eyes to what you want me to know. Guide me Holy Spirit to the truth that you have for me as I study your Word. I ask this in Jesus name." Pray that prayer sincerely. The Lord Jesus Himself would step in and reveal Himself to you. |

Congratulations Our Dear Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo. It is with great joy in my heart that I congratulate you once again our dear leader on your affirmation by the tribunal Court as the duly elected Governor of our dear state, Kogi. Indeed, with this tribunal victory, it is now clear to all and sundry that you were nominated by God to serve our people, elected by the masses of Kogi and now affirmed by the tribunal court. I'm particularly glad by this your victory as we both share a deep sense of commitment and duty to salvage our state and making it viable for economic prosperity. Special thanks go to the learned Justices of the Tribunal Court for maintaining the sanctity of our constitution and upholding the general wish of Kogites which they expressed during the gubernatorial election. I also appreciate in no small measure, the great and indefatigable people of Kog State who displayed their doggedness and utter resoluteness during the election and have kept faith with your administration, their will and choice at the poll remain supreme. Again, my constant prayer to God for you, our dear Governor is for sustained clarity of purpose, vision and unassailable will in the discharge of the onerous demands of your office as the Executive Governor of Kogi State, especially as you continue to consolidate on the clamour for changing the trajectory of bad governance in Kogi State.

Romance / Married Women Sex Is Food by Enemyofpeace: 10:29am On May 27 |
Sex is not all about making children You must be a different woman to your husband every time. Seduce your husbands. Do not always allow your husband to ask for Sex. There must be no timetable for sex. Be creative do not be predictable Give him what he wants but not anal sex. If you loose influence over your husband you have lost woman Be part of your husband plans. Don't have too many children. Do you want to sell them ? Allow your husband to check in and out anytime not to an irresponsible man. When some men are sexually satisfied they are emotionally stable Stop saying is it food ? Yes sex is food. As a wife try to invest in yourself spiritually so you can adequately support him. Build yourself as his prayer warrior So that you will not be forced to pray at the end of your life. Do not allow your husband to provide all your needs. He is not a money making machine Start a trade or get an office job. Iron sharpens iron try to reciprocate. You are meant to support each other spiritually, financially, physically and morally through thick and thin. You are a builder.... A Wise woman builds her home when she is given peace of the mind by her husband and his families. Women need wisdom to build their homes. Do not be too outspoken Know when to talk When to listen and when to be quiet. Love your husband with all your heart Never tell him If not because of my children remember you have known him before the arrival of those children Pamper your husband, put his head on your chest and pray for him that is if he allows you Give him unannounced kiss from the back Do not be too holy to kiss in public. He is your husband for God sake. Be romantic please It is good for the heart Some people are not happy that you are happy in that marriage You can proof them wrong that you love him and he is your crown Always feel good when you hold him. Do not look 50 while you are still under 40 it drives men crazy Always keep fit regardless of your age or body To THE MEN........ Do not take a woman who does all these for granted! Pamper her, pray for her, cherish her, love her Support her financially, spiritually and be a helping hand at home with some of the house chores Do not use commanding tones when you want to have it with Do it in a play way manner You are not in an army barrack Learn how to listen to instructions when you are having sex She knows how she wants it with you Follow what she ask you to do Do it that way not as you want it Sex is meant to be enjoyed by both parties If you keep leaving her unsatisfied in the bedroom you are on your own Do not nag when you see her with someone else You can not expect her to fill in the gap with bread and butter or rice and soup An over stressed woman can never give you a good result in the bedroom If she is tired She just want to answer the invite You should not be a self centered man You should not be the one that is always in the mood Honor her when she wants you in bed Not all women are out spoken Some will reject you with her body language. You should be able to get her right when she does that. Some men are so daft by letting their partners down whenever she request for sex. You are only teaching her to get it elsewhere By the time she gets succour outside it will be your turn to raise an alarm. Men learn how to look clean outside and within Some of you do not bathe before coming for sex Always smell nice Get your nails trimmed Do not injure her with your long and dirty nails Brush your teeth and tongue No woman will give you a passionate kiss with the odors oozing out from your mouth Clear all public hair She can not be nursing bruises because of the grown hair you have under you. Change your undies regularly. Make her feel like your woman! God bless you and your marriages. Copied 5 Likes |
Religion / Re: Wisdom Seed Daily Devotional by Faithfulness99: 10:15am On May 27 |
PST. SUNDAY & PST. CHAKOR OGIDIGBO. Holyhill Church Abuja *WISDOM SEED* Monday, May 27, 2024 *THE ULTIMATE COMFORT: FINDING SOLACE IN THE BIBLE* *Romans 15:4 NKJV* _‘’For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.’’_. In times of distress, andcomfort becomes a precious refuge. The Bible offers profound insights into the nature of comfort and provides powerful verses that can soothe our troubled hearts and bring us solace amidst life's challenges. Let us explore the comfort the Bible offers and discover the reassurance it provides in moments of hardship. 1. God as the Source of Comfort: In the Bible, God is portrayed as the ultimate source of comfort. Psalm 119:50 affirms, "This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life." Through Scripture, we find solace in God's promises, knowing that His unfailing love and faithfulness will sustain us during difficult times. 2. The Comfort of God's Presence: The Bible assures us of God's abiding presence, which provides comfort even in the midst of trials. Psalm 23:4 beautifully declares, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Knowing that God walks alongside us, guiding and protecting us, brings unparalleled comfort and reassurance. 3. The Comfort of Divine Strength: In times of weakness, the Bible offers the promise of divine strength and comfort. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." God's strength sustains us, lifting us up when we feel like we are about to fall, and providing the comfort we need to face our challenges. 4. The Comfort of God's Word: The Scriptures are a wellspring of comfort, offering timeless wisdom, encouragement, and solace in times of distress. Romans 15:4 states, "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." When we turn to the Bible, we find words of hope and understanding that bring comfort to our troubled souls. 5. The Comfort of God's Love: Above all, the Bible teaches us about the unfailing love of God, which brings us lasting comfort and peace. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, it states, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction." God's love is a comforting embrace that soothes our sorrows and envelops us in His arms of compassion. In moments of distress, we can find solace and comfort in the pages of the Bible. Through its verses, we are reminded of God's steadfast presence, His abounding love, and His promises of strength and deliverance. May we turn to the Scriptures, seeking the comfort it imparts, and find solace in knowing that we are never alone. Open your heart to the comforting words of the Bible, and let its truths guide you through life's trials, bringing you the comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. *prayer* Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the comfort your Word brings. In times of distress, guide me to find refuge in your promises and strength in your presence. Let your Word illuminate my path and fill my heart with peace. Amen. *Declaration* I declare that in times of trouble, I will seek comfort in God's Word. His promises will sustain me, His presence will strengthen me, and His love will envelop me. I am secure in His care, and His Word will be my refuge and strength. |

Politics / Re: FG Sues 36 States At Supreme Court Over Local Government Autonomy by malali: 7:35am On May 27 |
The recent suit filed by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), on behalf of the federal government, marked SC/CV/343/2024, represents a commendable and necessary step towards safeguarding the autonomy of Nigeria’s local governments. The federal government’s request for the Supreme Court to prohibit state governors from the arbitrary dissolution of democratically elected local government leaders, and to ensure direct funding to local governments, is a move that deserves widespread support and praise. Local governments are the bedrock of democracy and governance in Nigeria, providing essential services and representation closest to the people. However, the persistent actions of some state governors to unilaterally dissolve democratically elected local government councils and replace them with caretaker committees not only undermine the Constitution but also betray the principles of democracy that these governors themselves demand from the presidency. It is hypocritical and unacceptable for state governors to cry out for democratic norms and respect for the rule of law at the federal level while simultaneously engaging in autocratic practices at the local level. This double standard erodes public trust and undermines the very fabric of our democratic society. The arbitrary dissolution of local government councils, often for political gain, denies the people their right to elected representation and disrupts the continuity and effectiveness of local governance. Moreover, the creation of joint accounts by state governors to control funds meant for local governments is a blatant disregard for the financial autonomy and independence guaranteed to these local entities by the Constitution. Such practices not only stifle local development but also promote corruption and inefficiency, as funds meant for grassroots development are misappropriated or mismanaged. The federal government’s prayer for an order permitting funds to be channeled directly to local governments from the federation account is a vital step towards ensuring transparency, accountability, and the proper utilization of resources for local development. By ensuring that local governments receive their rightful funds without undue interference, we can foster a more efficient and responsive governance system that truly serves the needs of the people. Furthermore, the injunction sought by the federal government to restrain governors from receiving or tampering with local government funds when no democratically elected councils are in place is both logical and just. This measure will compel state governments to uphold the principles of democracy and ensure that local governance is conducted in accordance with constitutional provisions. The federal government’s action to protect the autonomy of local governments is a bold and necessary move that deserves the support of all Nigerians. It is a stand for democracy, accountability, and the rule of law. We must commend the federal government for taking this decisive action to preserve the integrity of our local governance systems and ensure that the voices of the people are heard and respected at every level of government. Let us stand together in support of this motion and demand that state governors uphold the democratic principles they advocate for at the national level. 8 Likes 1 Share |
Religion / Living The Victorious Life by Gathering: 7:22am On May 27 |
*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚* My acts is the reflections , handiworks of what (the kind of spirit) is inside of me. When my act is divinely good it must be by the good spirit inside and when my act is divinely bad it must be by the evil spirit inside. My reactions to circumstances , whether good or bad , reveals the kind of spirit residents in me. If in good or bad circumstances I acted in good or evil manner my focus should not be on the circumstances around me but on what or which spirit is in control of my reactions. Tests and temptations are purposed to reveal my reactions. My reactions must always be positive reason God orders thanksgiving in all good and bad circumstances. *1 Thessalonians 5:18* AMP:Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. Any circumstance should not make me allow evil spirit control my reactions. Cain came into a bad circumstance and was warned about allowing sin gaining entrance into his heart but he was more focused on the outside , on the circumstances of rejection and Abel's acceptance than what is going on inside of him , the spirit of hatred controlling his reactions. *Genesis 4:7* Saul on the other hand came into a good circumstance by defeating the Amalekites but he was more focused on his victory and the spoils than what was going on inside of him , the spirit of lust taking control of him. *1 Samuel 15:9* AMP:Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, oxen, fatlings, lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but all that was undesirable or worthless they destroyed utterly. There are reactions I do not want but I can not control them because of the spirits inside are greater than me and the reason I must cast them out. But how can I cast what is greater than me out? Paul gave the answer in Romans 7: 24.AMP:O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death? 25 AMP:O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord!.... Now I need to work on allowing the Word enter and grow inside of me so He can cast evil spirits out of me. I need to focus on casting them out and also reject them from regaining access into me more than the outside circumstances. With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to focus more on my inside than outside. Those living the victorious life are casting every evil spirits out of them and always reacting positively. I accept Jesus or The Word I read or hear today and I am saved Weekly prayer Point: Holy Spirit my Helper , help me to cast every evil spirits out of me. I want only every good spirits to reside in me in Jesus name I pray. Live a spiritually blessed week. Good morning. From: The Gathering Ministry. Olugbami Olushola 1 Like 1 Share |

MORNING DIGEST! LIFE AND TIME (Part 267) LIFE: Living Into Future Enterprise. TIME: Thinking Into Momentary Enterprise. Every battle in life starts with word, as well as every peace one can ever enjoy in this life. What you say is what you see; what you hear is what you believe. To create, God almighty didn’t just imagined and his imagination became tangible reality, he spoke. Let’s go back to the book of beginnings. Genesis 1:1-3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26,29,31 [1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [6] And God said, [9] And God said, [11] And God said, [14] And God said, [20] And God said, [24] And God said, [26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: [29] And God said, [31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Beloveth child of God, our heavenly father fought the fight of words for you and I to be alive. To be continued… prayer: LORD, empower me to speak in Jesus Christ’s name.

Religion / Re: Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional 2024 by Skyfornia(m): 6:10am On May 27 |
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL MONDAY 27TH MAY 2024. Pastor Chris THEME: A CONSTANT PURIFICATION PROCESS THEME SCRIPTURE: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). I love the Word of God, because living according to what it says takes the stress out of your life. It takes the struggle out of Christianity. Think about what we just read in our opening scripture; it simply means there’s no need for you to be sin-conscious because in Christ you’re constantly purified. All you have to do is walk in the light as He is in the light. He says as you do, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from all sin. It’s automatic cleansing. Notice He didn’t say you should pray for the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse you from sin. He says, “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin,” meaning that it happens without you asking. It’s a constant purification process. Why is this necessary? It’s because the world around us is smothered in sin and darkness. However, by walking in the light, all your errors, mistakes, and missteps that you didn't even know about are cleansed. So be sure that you’re functioning or walking in His light; His light is His Word. Remember what Jesus said, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” (John 15:3). His Word is a cleanser; it purifies. If you’ve been born again and still find yourself praying the prayer of salvation every week, that’ll be because you’re looking at yourself under a different light that’s showing you that something is wrong. See yourself under God’s light. His light shows that you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. See yourself thus and walk accordingly. God’s light is God’s Truth, and God’s Truth is God’s Word. To walk in the light therefore means to walk in the Word of God which purifies your soul and purges your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. prayer Dear Father, I thank you for your grace and the power of your righteousness at work in me. As I walk in your light, I’m automatically cleansed and purified by the blood of Jesus. I’m justified by the grace of Jesus Christ, and I walk in His righteousness, free from the accusation of the evil one. Your righteousness is expressed in my thoughts, words and actions, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. John 15:3 AMPC You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. Ephesians 5:25-26 NIV Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, DAILY SCRIPTURE READING 1-Year Bible Reading Plan:.John 13:1-30 & 2 Kings 20-22 2-Year Bible Reading Plan: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 & Proverbs 23 |

ALLNIGERIANSMAD: Who was the ''they'' that ''collected'' your phone and your money? How did they ''collect'' it? You ''almost'' got killed? What does that mean? They shot at you and missed? They pointed a gun at you and you said a prayer to 'Jesus' and they changed their mind? You sound like you are lying. In fact I'm 90% sure you are lying. |
