***TRIALS ARE GOD’S WAYS OF REFINING US***

As we know fire is used to purify gold and brings it to an acceptable standard. In the other hand, when God wants to refine us, He uses fiery trials to bring us to his acceptable standard. Whenever you see someone whose life reflects the life of Christ, you are sure that you are seeing somebody who has gone through fire. Nothing brings wholesomeness to character and commitment to the heart like adversity.
Are you facing some challenges in your life now? Are there issues that have defied solution and you are thinking that God has abandoned you? If so, rejoice for God knows everything about you and is doing special work on you to refine and bring you to His acceptable standard.

The Scripture said, “BELOVED, THINK IT NOT STRANGE CONCERNING THE FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU, AS THOUGH SOME STRANGE THING HAPPENED UNTO YOU; BUT REJOICE, INASMUCH AS YE ARE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST SUFFERINGS, THAT WHEN HIS GLORY SHALL BE REVEALED, YE MAY BE GLAD ALSO WITH EXCEEDING JOY”…(1 PETER 4:12-13). Do not be disheartened for the hand of God is on the thermostat of your life monitoring the temperature required to burn away the things that hinder His purpose in your life. He will finish the work soon and you will come out stronger in patience, prayer, forgiveness, meekness, faith and lots of other character building work.

You need His correction that will yield peaceable fruit of righteousness in your life though you may not enjoy it but you need it and it is your blessing. Do not look at the fiery trials as unusual things, but to expect them, and prepare for them if you have not gotten one for unexpectedly it will come. But when trials come because we are prepared for it, when it strikes, it will not hurt or consume us. The afflictions and persecution which fall upon God’s people are to try them, not to consume them, to try their graces and destroy their corruptions, to give them the opportunity to make proof of the truth of their faith, sincerity and constancy.

The duty which God expects and requires from them who suffer these fiery persecutions for the sake of His Son is to rejoice and be exceeding glad. The end and use of all afflictions is the trial and improvement of the Christians graces…SHALOM!!!
# MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERETH HIM OUT OF THEM ALL...PSALM 34:19#

***BOTTOM POWER, DOES IT REALLY WORTH IT

Bottom power entails the use of sexual antics or devices by an individual especially females to influence or manipulate any condition/situations in their own favour. Lots of girls/women of nowadays have this motion that whatever they want, they can get it through sexual manipulations. In other words, they believe that “you use what you have to get what you don’t have or what you need”. But that is misinterpretation of that adage in the negative aspect.
Individuals engaged in these wickedness are ready to sleep with anybody (even with mad people) in order to achieve their devilish purpose/aim. Devil is very wicked!!!
Such individuals can be found in different facets of life in the environment:
• Offices among workers/staffs that are crazy for promotions,
• Among students and their teachers/lecturers for grades
• Churches/ministries within members that are crazy for positions and after their own pockets/stomach
• Neighborhoods among desperate housewives, housemaids and husbands etc.

If peradventure someone determines to separate himself/herself or not to be part of their wickedness, the individual will be seen as an enemy or a traitor, hence they can put up forces, conspire or gang-up against such individual to frustrate, discourage or distract the person. If the person is a born-again child of God, both necessary and unnecessary attacks will be launched against the individual in order to pull him/her down to their miserable level so as to join them in the evil and wickedness they are into, all in a bid to take away the glory of God from such individual.

The unrepentant and rebellious ones can embark on witchcraft prayers against the person to go and die for their sins and make them whole, instead of seeking for means to amend their ways/lives.
The Scripture noted, “THOU SHALL NOT FOLLOW A MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL”…(EXODUS 23:2).
That everybody is doing evil does not make it right, you can determine to be different. Don’t be discouraged or distracted by their fake lives and intimidation, be steadfast in faith and focus on God, in His appointed time, He will reward you for your faithfulness.

And for those of them that seek after the life of righteous born-again child of God for sacrifice, Jesus Christ has paid the final sacrifices for all sins. So therefore, the best thing that can happen to them is to turn back, accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal savior; surrender all to Him.
If not, “They will be feed with their own flesh: and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine…(ISAIAH 49:2-26).
Bottom power fails because all Powers belongs to Jesus Christ. He alone has the ultimate power to influence and change any situation. Do not be deceived, JESUS IS LORD…SHALOM!!!

# YOU FIND THE TRUE SOURCE OF ALL POWER WHEN YOU FINALLY SEE GOD AND KNOW HIM IN HIS GLORY #

***BABY MAMA AND BABY DADDY SAGA***

The rebranding of children born out of wedlock by men and women who are afraid of marriage commitments and responsibilities that come from it has taken another course known as “BABY MAMA AND BABY DADDY”. Because raising Godly children and family is very important to God, the enemy (devil) also seek means to destroy the divine marriage foundation, thereby putting the children under the mercy of been raised by single parents.
Children in and of themselves do not make a family or household. They are the natural by-product of a loving relationship and intimacy in a marriage. Frankly, most of our families today are equivalent of a dysfunctional household due to single parent in the name of Baby Mama and Baby Daddy.

Alternatively, due to the quest for acquisition of wealth, fame and power, a lot of young girls and boys have compromised themselves with many of these acclaimed rich men and women to have children for them. These gullible youths don’t even care to know the source of income of their acquaintances, all they care about is money and the good live they envisage in such relationship. That’s a lot like some stranger of the opposite sex walking up to you and saying, “I Want Kids”. They don’t really know each other and not even sure they like themselves talk more of been in love. Of course, they don’t want all the responsibilities and commitments that go with marriage, but they really do want children.

Most of these men into such trend of putting young girls into motherhood do so with evil intentions of collecting their luck and destinies. As the womb is the gateway to any woman’s world, any access to it by any man automatically makes the person a partaker of that world. As such, these Baby Mama’s have sold their world to these evil men ignorantly because of few years of worldly pleasures, if they even get such pleasures!
On the other hand, there are women that contracts young boys to impregnate them and become their Baby Daddy’s. The lazy and gullible ones that fall to such devilish ploy have ignorantly sold their birthright and buried their destinies on the laps of these strange evil women. Most of the children born out of wedlock by some of these evil parents are also used for rituals and renewal of power.

Agents of devil involved in these practices are those that have destroyed other people’s marriages, break many godly homes, rendered other’s children useless and destroyed many lives. Hence, marriage commitment is the last thing on their mind. When individual morals went down the tubes along with commitment levels in relationship, it is accurately reflected towards the trend of rampant divorce rates and broken marriages. . If you are not matured enough for marriage commitments and responsibilities that come from it, please do not enter into marriage or have kids you cannot cater for…SHALOM!!!

# AS INDIVIDUALS MADE THE CHOICE TO TURN AWAY FROM MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP AND COMMITMENTS, EVERY OTHER COMMITMENTS IN THEIR LIVES WILL BEGIN TO DETERIORATE AND FALL APART AS WELL #

TEXT: John 14:6

THEME: THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

MEMORIZE: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". John 8:32

MESSAGE:
While many people believe that there are several versions of the 'truth', the fact is that there can only be one truth. The truth is the truth plain and simple. It has no variants or alternatives. Unfortunately the devil has sold the idea of alternative truths to the world of today, That is why you hear mainstream media propagating the idea that no one religion is the gateway to Heaven and that there are various pathways to God. This is a big lie! The truth is that only Christianity is the one and only way to God and Heaven.

How can we be so sure? You may ask. This is because Jesus told us so and His word is truth. He told us He is the way - not a way, meaning there is no other way. He told us that nobody could come to the Father but by Him. He is God and cannot lie. The devil is the father of lies and was a liar from the beginning so who would you rather trust?

Many are under captivity because they do not know the truth. They are looking for salvation in false places where it cannot be found. They are deceived by the illusion of freedom only to realize later that they are in captivity! Take for example a young man desperately looking for financial freedom and in his desperation joins a cult that promises instant wealth. Soon, he finds out that there are grievous conditions attached to the wealth which makes him a hopeless captive which he was not told before. He soon finds out there is no free lunch.

It's only God that makes rich and adds no sorrow unto it. Jesus has said that when we know the truth it will set us free. True salvation, health, wealth and blessings can only be found in Him. Any other alternative will lead to captivity. Maybe out of ignorance you are caught up in one bondage or the other. Now you know the truth. There is a way out. Do not believe the lie you have been told that there is no turning back. Jesus is willing to receive a repentant soul no matter the sins he has previous committed. He came to set you free. That is the truth. Embrace it and you shall be free indeed.

Worship/praise God and then take the following prayer points:
1. Lord, by the blood of Jesus, I receive' freedom from every captivity, in the name of Jesus.

2. Every cage of the enemy, I break to pieces in Jesus' name.

3. I soak my G. O, Mummy in the Lord and their children in your precious blood, in Jesus' name.

***THE NUISANCE CALLED SPIRITUAL SPOUSE***

Spiritual spouse are human beings possed with demons. People often attest their encounter with spirit beings having sex with them in their dreams. In some cases, these beings will just mess them up against their will. When someone is resting/sleeping, these sexmaniac demonic entities will be awake, imploring debauchery antics on their victims. Victims of spiritual spouse (spirit wife or spirit husband) do not have power over their body. Cowards that cannot use their brain to think of innovations, creative works, reasonable and responsible things to do or channel their minds, which will better their life and society as a whole, instead it is sex, sex , and sex, whom to seduce, whom to defile or mess up through their sexual manipulations.

Spirit spouse are mainly Marine agents from Marine kingdom that sorts after anointed men or women of God to pull down or destroy their ministry because they know that Anointed servants of God are serious threat to their evil kingdoms. The spirit husbands looks out for female victims while spirit wives goes after male counterparts with the aim of seducing them, defiling them or to tie down their destinies.
Due to the level of spiritual wickedness in high places these demonic filthy perverts are involved in, they can go to any length to fish for ignorant/innocent individuals as their victims. Lots of them can be found in churches, ministries and within neighborhoods, where they carry-out their hideous evil practices without been noticed.

A sister God delivered her son from the grip of wicked spirit wife testified that her son was captured few days after she gave birth to him. It happened that her follow sister in the church came visiting her and her new born baby at home few days after she put to bed. Not knowing that this so called sister is a high ranking witch in marine Kingdom, out to seek souls she will steal, kill and destroy, which of course will make her gain demonic ranks/promotions depending on how many souls she captures. She hides her true identity and appears as a born-again while inside she is a ravenous beast.
At the course of her visitation, she carried the innocent baby boy from his mother and at the process, cast her spell on him, thereby marking him as one of her victims. After exchange of pleasantries, she gave the ignorant mother money gift for the baby which she took not knowing what has transpired and thanked the woman for her kind gestures. Mission accomplished, the devil’s incarnate woman camouflaging as follow sister-in –the-Lord took her leave.

From that day, the predicament of the little baby started. He started having series of attacks manipulated by the wicked woman, who is now claiming ownership of his body and soul. This continued for many years as the boy was growing up until the parents took a bold step by going into fasting and deliverance prayer for their son. God been so merciful and ever faithful heard them and revealed the root of their son’s problem.
The son who had now grown also told his parents how a particular woman that claims to be his mother and wife always visit him in the dream, gave him food and at the end forces herself to him and mess him up. Whenever he has such encounters and wakes up, the whole of his body system will change and he will lose consciousness. Everything he does or plans to do will turn upside down. Most times she manipulates him to indulge in sexual immoralities physically with women against his wish, causing havoc on his endeavors until God broke the yoke and set him free from the captivity of this wicked spiritual wife that almost rendered his life useless.

Do not stay there and allow these demonic nuisances to continue defiling you, tampering with God’s glory upon your life and destiny. You have to stop them before they stop your ministry or truncate your destiny.

• Ensure that you have holiness and righteousness as your watchword.
• Avoid pornographic images or movies.
• Avoid lusting after the opposite sex in your mind
• If you are still single, don’t entangle yourself with the opposite sex in romantic/sexual activities
• If married, ensure that you stick to your partner only
Victims of spiritual spouse need to embark on three (3) days fasting with warfare prayers on restoration of your lost glory from any spirit wife/husband.
• At the course of your prayers, any of them that manifest themselves in the form of snake, evil bird, fish, dog, evil spirit etc, use Holy Ghost fire to pursue and destroy them. If the spirit forms persist, use the sword of the spirit to slay the evil sexmaniac demonic entities.
• Constant bleeding of the precious blood of Jesus Christ over your body, spirit and soul.
• Guard your salvation and ministry and see God winning all your battles…SHALOM!!!

TEXT: Luke 12:4-5

THEME: FEAR HIM WHO CAN KILL BOTH BODY & SOUL

MEMORIZE: "And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee' but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul•" (Deuteronomy 10:12)

MESSAGE:
Many people fear man more than God, They worry about what their fellow man thinks about them more than what God thinks about them. They are more worried about keeping up appearances so that men can think highly of them at the expense of doing God's will. They keep appointments with men in a timely manner but come late to their appointment with the Creator of the Universe. They bow before earthly kings who are in power today but removed tomorrow, but approach the throne of the King of Kings who is Everlasting with levity. What lack of wisdom! Jesus warns us in today's passage that the only one we should fear is the one who after killing the body has the power to cast you into hell. The only one capable of that is God and He alone should we fear. It is very dangerous for us to fear man more than God. King Saul feared people more than God and choose to disobey God's command and listen to the advice of his people by sparing King Agag and some choice cattle, instead of totally destroying them as God had commanded. This caused him to lose his office and peace and He was never reconciled to God till he died.

The worst that any man can do to you is kill you. However, whether we like it or not we will all die one day. For a true believer, death should not be feared because we are assured of heaven. Jesus has told us that those that will save their lives will first lose it (Matthew 16:25) while those that try to save their lives will eventually lose it (John 12:25). That means that when you are so careful not to offend man at the expense of offending God, you will eventually end up in hell fire. You cannot please God when the fear of man is your primary concern. Decide today to fear only the one that can kill both body and soul. In the end that is the only One that matters.

Worship/praise God and then take the following prayer points:
1. Dear Lord, instill your fear in me so that I may serve you acceptably all the days of my life, in Jesus' name.

2. I bind and cast out the fear of man from my heart, in Jesus' name

3. Dear Lord, let all the enemies of our G. O, Mummy in the Lord and The Lord's Chosen Ministry, be dumbfounded in Jesus' name

TEXT: Matthew 14:24-31

THEME: FOCUS YOUR EYES ON GOD, NOT THE PROBLEM.

MEMORIZE: "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. " (Matthew 19:26)

MESSAGE:
Many people tend to focus on problem instead of focusing on the awesomeness of God. They use their physical eyes to assess their situations and come to the conclusion that they are too great to overcome. But the truth is that God can do all things and there is nothing too hard for Him to do. However, He requires us to have faith and belief in Him before He can move on our behalf. Note, anytime Jesus encountered a person with a problem, He always asked them whether or not they believed in His power to save them. In other words, He counted on their faith to heal them. But how does one exercise faith in the midst of captivity? One way is to solely focus on the awesome nature and power of God instead of the enormity of the problem or situation. No matter the size of our problem, God is more than able to solve it. He that created the heavens and the earth and everything that is inside it and to whom all power belongs, is more than able to solve that problem you think is too great. While with man it may be impossible, but with God all things are possible.

In our reading today, we see that once Peter took his eyes off Jesus and started to look at the water and fear crept in. Fear and Faith are opposites. Both cannot be at work at the same time. Once fear comes, faith leaves. Fear made Peter to remember that it was humanly impossible for a man to walk on water even though that was what He was doing. He remembered the numerous perils at sea and forgot that he was in the presence of He that created all things and the result was that he began to sink. That is what happens when we focus on the enormity of a problem and not Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. There is no problem that you are passing through that God is not greater than or doesn't have the solution to. Therefore do not fear; focus on Him and He will see you through.



Worship/praise God and then take the following prayer points:

1. Any problem assigned to take my focus away from the throne of grace; be destroyed by fire, in Jesus name.

2. I ask for the enabling grace to remain steadfast in the face of oppositions, trials and temptations, in Jesus' name.

3. Any situation (Name any situation of worry or anxiety) in my life magnified by the devil to look like a mountain, I refuse to bow to you, in the name of Jesus Christ.

4. Father, release the anointing which no problem can defy upon our G. O and Mummy in the Lord, in Jesus' name.

TEXT: Matthew 5:14-16, Matthew 7:20

TOPIC: BE WATCHFUL AND READY

MEMORIZE: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13)

MESSAGE:
We are in a very crucial period in the history of this world when every true believer must be very watchful and be standing strongly in the Lord. The world seems to be in that period when every prophecy in the Bible appears to have been fulfilled. There is visible sign of danger everywhere. Evil has multiplied and is doing everything to overcome good. A lot of legislation all over the world proves that men have deviated from the ways of God. There are legislations that support abortion, prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, transgender, etc. These are indications that the devil has taken over the hearts of men. Therefore, this is not a time to be carried away or have the feeling that all is well. The Bible warns us saying: “8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1 Peter 5:8-9)

We must resist the devil with all the strength we can muster. But then, we can only achieve that by standing strong in the Lord and by watching in prayer, living right and generally doing the will of God. This is easier said than done except we abide in the Lord and He in us. It is for this reason that John 15:4-5 states, “4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
So, you must abide in God and He in you without which it becomes impossible overcoming the evil of these last days. It will therefore, be senseless to depend upon the arm of flesh for it will surely fail you. Depend upon Him.

Worship/ praise God and then take the following prayer points:
1. O God my Father, I pray that you give me the grace and power to watch in prayer and be strong in the Lord, in Jesus' name.

2. Save me from the evil of these last days, in Jesus' name.

3. Help me to abide in you and You in me, in Jesus' name.

4. Give our G. O and our mummy in the Lord more anointing to move The Lord’s Chosen ministry and its three-fold vision and mandate forward, in Jesus name.

*** BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS ***

IT IS THE AGENDA OF THE DEVIL TO REPLACE GOD'S ANOINTED SERVANTS, GENUINE PROPHETS AND HOLY PRIESTHOODS WITH SORCERERS, FORTUNE TELLERS, SOOTHSAYERS, DIVINERS, FALSE PROPHETS AND WICKED JEZEBELIC PROPHETESS.

THEY COMES AS WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHING, FULL OF FILTHINESS AND EVIL, RAVENOUS BEAST THAT COMMITS FORNICATION AND ADULTERY LIKE CRAZY MAD DOGS. THEY THRIVES IN EVIL LIKE THEIR MASTER, SATAN.

INSTEAD OF PROFFERING SOLUTION TO PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS, THEY FUELS THEIR PREDICAMENTS. SOWING SEED OF DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN. THEY CAUSE DIVISIONS AND OFFENCES IN MARRIAGES AND AMONG FAMILY MEMBERS.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THESE AGENTS OF DEVIL THAT HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER YOU BUT SORROWS AND PAINS. NO PARTICULAR DOCTRINE OR PREACHING CAN REPLACE JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. JESUS CHRIST IS STILL IN THE BUSINESS OF SAVING THE LOST... SHALOM!!!

TEXT: 1st Thessalonians 5:17, Isaiah 41:10-12

THEME: GOD IS ON YOUR CASE ALREADY, DO NOT DOUBT.

MEMORIZE: “For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.” (Psalm 109:31)

MESSAGE:
Poverty is simply a state of the mind. Acceptance of it allows the real poverty to manifest physically in the life of those who subscribe to it. That is exactly what the devil wants to achieve. He wants believers to accept that it is their state and then he will assign demons to enforce it. Therefore, he is always looking out for hearts that have become frustrated and accepted the tag of poverty so that he may sneak in and cause separation between them and God. He may use his human agents to try to frustrate you or even limit your progress and vision. The whole objective is to distract you and make you to begin to see your condition as pitiable and hopeless. Not having confidence in your ability to overcome courtesy of grace upon your life creates a gulf between God and man. This hinders God from acting on your case. By doubting you are actually telling God to hands off your case. But that is all the devil wants to achieve.

However, as a born again Christian, you must understand that you are a legitimate child of God with enormous entitlements. God has promised to stand at your right hand and save you from those that condemn your soul; those that try to hinder your progress and thrust you out of the path of jubilation by maligning you and even assuring you that you will fail. Those that condemn your soul are those who try to run you down. They belong to the group who have pre-conceived notions about you by believing you have already failed when you have not yet tried. They are those that see nothing good about you. As you begin to pray asking God to intervene in your matter, He will give you victory over them and you shall testify, in Jesus' name.

Worship/praise God and then take the following prayer points

1. Lord, hasten to my deliverance now, in Jesus’ name

2. I curse every spirit of doubt sent to hinder and limit my progress in Jesus’ name.

3. Lord, silence every mouth speaking evil against our G.O., the Lord’s Chosen Ministry, and causing the world to doubt our vision and mandate.

4. Lord, cause me not to fall short of your expectations in my walk of faith in Jesus’ name.

5. I close every crack through which the devil might have been attempting to come into my life and cause havoc, in Jesus’ name

IGNORANCE IS A VERY BIG DISEASE...EMBRACE JESUS CHRIST AND YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!!

***PUT YOUR TONGUE TO GOOD USE***

The tongue is a wonder member of the body. It can kill and make alive. It can build and the same time destroys. Your reward from the tongue depends how you use it. The book of JAMES 3:5 likened it to a match which can set the whole place (world) ablaze. For the tongue to be likened to a fire means that we should be very careful in the use of it. Note that a match when struck produces fire, and I have not seen, no matter how foolish a man is, playing with fire.

Some people understood who the tongue is and so they use it with care but others, who have not understood it, use it anyhow to their own detriment. I don’t know the group you belong, however, you should understand that “PART OF WHAT YOU ARE PASSING THROUGH IS WHAT YOU BROUGHT UPON YOURSELF THROUGH YOUR TONGUE”. You enslave yourself by what you say and you equally free yourself from what you say. Many people have brought “SELF-IMPOSED LIMITATIONS” upon themselves through the words of their mouth. When you are not too buoyant and may be someone comes to ask some money from you. Your reply will be “I DON’T HAVE MONEY!” and the enemy/devil will say AMEN, you will never have money. And it will be so with you because you said it with your mouth.

Certain things we say it does not matter, matters a lot. And the devil(satan) knows some of these spiritual law more than many that profess to be Christians. You might think that when you tell somebody you don’t have money while you have, you just deceive the person but not knowing that the devil will capitalize on what you have said to blow away the little one you have. To be at safer side in such a situation, you can reply to the person that “YOU DID NOT BUDGET FOR THE MONEY OR YOU DON’T HAVE SUCH MONEY TO GIVE OUT”.
As a parent, how do you scold or rebuke your child/children when they does wrong? You often hear the parent say in Anger:::Idiot, Mu-mu, slowpoke, you coconut head or good for nothing child etc. and satan will chorus…AMEN! Then, you will see your boy or girl being a good-for-nothing or-coconut-head etc.

God told Jeremiah (JEREMIAH 1:10) “SEE, I HAVE THIS DAY SET THEE OVER THE NATIONS AND OVER THE KINGDOMS, TO ROOT OUT, AND TO PULL DOWN, AND TO DESTROY, AND TO THROW DOWN, TO BUILD, AND TO PLANT.” Jeremiah could not do these things with guns and cutlasses or bombs but with his mouth (tongue). So you can use your tongue to either pull down (destroy) or build (plant)…SHALOM!!!

# TAME YOUR TONGUE AND MAKE YOUR CHRISTAINITY WORTHWHILE #

***SO LONG WITH JESUS YET WITHOUT KNOWING HIM***

knowing Christ does not most times depend on how long you have been with Him or in the Church. Going to church nowadays among many is just to fulfill religious obligations and not to worship God. That is why people are in the church but they are in secret societies and demonic kingdoms. Some are in the church but they are into fraud, cheating, armed robbery, kidnapping, ritual killing, etc. Yet they claim to serve God. They by so doing render the power of God non effective and the effect is this:
√ Strife
√ Envy
√ Contention
√ Jealousy
√ Covetousness etc.

Many of these hypocrites occupies sensitive positions in the church as leaders and decision makers. They do so in order to cover their real identity and evil activities. They are the ones defiling and polluting the house of God and still be claiming righteous or Holy brethren. Their hearts are far from God.
This is even worse among the old timers who have so much become familiar with God that nothing moves them again, especially if they came from the same place with their Pastor. You can not correct them, they will tell you they own the Church.

In the Book of JOHN 14:9, "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Phillip? he that seen me hast seen the Father, and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father?" Phillip was so long with Christ yet without knowing Christ.
IS IT THE SAME CASE WITH YOU

Some may be young in the faith but they are more zealous and conscious of sin than the old believer. You can be a worker, leader, pastor, Reverend, bishop etc without knowing Christ. If you are like Phillip, It is time to re-examine your self and make amendments. Remember you are not working for man but God... SHALOM!!!

***MIRACLE SEEKERS (ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE)***

We live in an age of deregulated Christianity especially in this our country where there are churches everywhere. People are flooding into all manner of churches not because they want to make heaven at the end of their life, but because they want miracles. There are people who run from one church to the other, from one pillar to another, not committed, not willing to obey the word of God through the Pastor. They have ulterior motives of coming to church. Some might even be agents of darkness send for specific assignment against the Pastor, members or the church.
Of course, when such people succeed or gets what they wanted, they leave the church and begin to leave their original worldly life. If they did not succeed, you will see them finding faults or seeking for means to cause division in the church. That is why God at times will decide to withhold answers to certain prayers because He knows our hearts more than we do.

The Scripture said, “BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU (MATHEW 6:33). The first Law in Heaven is “OBEDIENCE”.
You must determine to be obedience to the word of God and to ensure you do not play God ‘game’. The salvation of your soul is the highest miracle that can happen to you. If you stand firm in your Christian life, release yourself to God’s work, dedicate yourself to His service, you will become a useful instrument in His vineyard. God will make you a tool and prepare you for signs and wonders in every field of your endeavor which He promised His people.

There are those who must see miracles before they can believe and unfortunately, miracle seeking Christians often fall into wrong hands such as; dupers, cheats, ritual killers and kidnappers, fake pastors, false prophets/prophetess that gives them prophesy without salvation, prophesy without deliverance, prophesy without sanctification and Holy Ghost Baptism; thereby desecrating the Holy name of our God. At the end of the day, their problems, afflictions and yokes will still be there.

If you understand what it takes to be born-again child of God, you will know that miracle is an easy thing. You do not need to seek it, miracle will seek you instead. Your life will be characterized by divers signs and wonders. Begin to be committed to the things of God, sell yourself to the service of God, you will see god intervene in your situations…SHALOM!!!

# THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO BE HAPPY IN JESUS BUT TO TRUST AND OBEY #

***THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE***

During the earthly ministry of Our Master and Savior Jesus Christ, He was truthful to His words and teachings even till His death. When He was attacked by satan in the wilderness, He had to defend himself against devilish suggestions to act contrary to the will of God,(LUKE 4:3-12). That was why death could not hold Him in captive/bondage in the grave. As He said that he will rise again after 3 days, so it was; THAT IS THE POWER OF BEING TRUTHFUL, THE RESURRECTION POWER.

Because the devil has no chance against the children of God, the mainstay of his operation is through deceptive tricks of making people to lie. The enemy will like to engage you in a discussion, sorting words from your mouth to see if there is any way you will lie. When such occurs, he will also be the one that will go at the back and use the words of your mouth against you. Satan principal antics are to deceive, accuse, insult and criticize you in the presence of God.

Many people are under devilish yokes, bondage, spells, strong holds of the enemies because they are not truthful to themselves. They live fake/artificial lifestyles. There are some that are adamant liars that even when caught red handed at the point of offense, they have a way of arguing themselves out with chains of lies. They can even make the person that caught them looks stupid. If care is not taken, they will accuse the person to be hallucinating or insane just to cover up their evil activities. This is common among the seed of serpent (satan). The Bible calls satan the “FATHER OF ALL LIERS, that old serpent which deceiveth the whole world”(JOHN 8:44, REVELATION 12:9).
The spirit of lying and stealing often goes together. When someone lie, he/she has opened a spiritual portal for devil to enter into their life and steal from them. Apart from stealing from children of God, he also put them into satanic pits, prisons or traps.

If you desire to be free from every bondage/captivity, arrows, projections, jinx, manipulations, spells or strong holds of the enemies, determine to always be truthful and real. Let your Yes be Yes and No be No. Even when the enemy through his human agents comes to tempt you or sort words from your mouth, if you don’t have the facts or truth, please ignore them. SILENCE IS GOLDEN at such moment.
Remember. “YOU WILL BE JUDGE BY THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH, SO ALWAYS SAY THE TRUTH AND THEN, ALLOW THE TRUTH TO DEFEND ITSELF WHEN THE TIME COMES”…SHALOM!!!

# DELIVERANCE FROM SATANIC INFLUENCES COMES BY BEING TRUTHFUL #

***FACE OF DECEIT ***

In the course of having a particular relationship with others whether casual, intimate, official or unofficial, many people often wonders why their kind gesture or show of love and care towards their counterparts are replaced with hatred, wickedness and evil. In order words, “PEOPLE SEEMS TO REPAY THEM EVIL FOR GOOD”. This type of occurrence is predominate among believers that always look out for opportunity to render help/assistance to others.

Giving is the greatest fulfillment that we can ever know especially when it pertains to sowing in the life of a person and the work of God. One thing is to give; another thing is to give according to the direction of the Holy Spirit. This also applies to sowing on a fertile ground in order to reap good reward.

Because satan and his cohorts knew that genuine children of God are generous and finds it pleasurable to give or sow, he then capitalized on that to steal, kill and destroy from believers, even in the name of church or house of God.

Something happened in the life of a particular sister, who God delivered from the plans of the devil through one of his agents from python kingdom, because of the monetary assistance she rendered to her. This so-called agent of darkness according to the sister was a vibrant and dedicated worker in one of their church departments. She is so committed in the church activities that it takes the divine grace of God and anointing in Jesus Christ to discern that she is evil. It happened that a ploy was put in place by the python kingdom on how to tie this particular sister finances, destroy her and eventually divert her glorious destiny to their evil kingdom. They came up with the idea of getting money from the sister’s hand, which will serve as a point of contact to get to her. Been ignorant of such devilish plan, the python agent came to the sister soliciting for help/sponsorship of their forth coming church event. Freely and with pure heart, the sister graciously brought out some amount of money and gave the python agent camouflaging as a follow believer.

Few days later, the sister said she saw herself in a revelation in python kingdom where very big serpents/pythons where crawling around her, searching for any spot to strike and bite her. To her greatest astonishment, one of the huge pythons turned into a big woman adorned with Jezebelic attires. She commanded her agents to check the sister’s hair whether it’s virgin or permed hair. Being a Born-Again, the sister was carrying virgin hair; hence the Glory of God shielded her from their attack.
No wonder the Scripture said, “WHOSO BREAKETH AN HEDGE, THE SERPENT SHALL BITE” (ECCLESIASTES 10:.

As they were still searching for a fault to strike her, she woke up and started praying. In the course of the prayer, she asked God to expose the source of the attack to her. By the special grace of God, in another revelation, the python agent who she gave money to was revealed to her as the mediator of the attack. A message and warning was also given to her not to give out any help due to emotion or sympathy but in accordance with the direction of the Holy Spirit in order to avoid falling into such satanic trap again in future. The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it(JEREMIAH 17:9-10).

IN LIFE, IF SATAN CANNOT GET YOU TO DO THE WRONG THING, HE WILL DEVICE MEANS TO GET YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN THE WRONG WAY. This satanic ploy has limited, jeopardized or ruined many believers. Every believer should not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy (devil). The Christian life is not about being right, “IT IS ABOUT BEING CHRIST-LIKE. If you follow the Lord, you will always be doing the right thing at the right time, even though it may not seem right to you. Lots of believers have fallen into such satanic pits/traps ignorantly thereby losing their vision, destiny and glory. They need to go to God in fasting and prayer and ask for restoration of their lost glory from every evil kingdom or personality involved.

“ DO NOT LOOSE YOUR TESTIMONY OVER BEING RIGHT, DO NOT LOOSE YOUR RELATIONSHIP OVER BEING RIGHT, INSTEAD ADD TO YOUR TESTIMONY AND RELATIONSHIP BY BEING CHRIST-LIKE…SHALOM!!!
# THERE HAS BEEN GOOD MOTIVES IN EVEN THE WORST OF MEN, AND EVIL MOTIVES IN EVEN THE BEST OF MEN; IT IS WISDOM TO SEEK FOR TRUE DISCERNMENT FROM THE LORD #

***BEWARE OF ENCHANTED GIFTS***

In life, one is bound to face one or two challenges which may cause that person to seek for a help or assistance from people or relations around. Looking for assistance is one thing and getting it in a rightful way is another thing also. “DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT, IF THEY RENDER ANY HELP TO YOU OR YOU COLLECT ANY GIFT FROM THEM, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, YOU HAVE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEM”?

These evil and wicked personalities may appear gently, harmless, or even genuine physically but spiritually, they are devil’s incarnate. They don’t give out help or gift without the receiver paying dearly for it.
The children of God need to be alert and aware of the antics of the devil and his cohort so that they will not be victims of such circumstances. Many great Men of God, Ministers of the Gospel, Pastors and even ordinary ignorant individuals have sold their birthright through receiving enchanted gifts from evil/occultic people, camouflaging themselves as members of their congregation, relations and philanthropist.
By mere accepting their assistance/gifts, they have put themselves in line, thus they will no longer have the boldness and courage to speak out and rebuke sin/evil especially when it pertains to the so-called philanthropist, for fear of losing the things they get from them.
Furthermore, there are people that are good in begging for alms or help from unknown strangers. If they are unfortunate and fall into the hands of these evil personalities, their case is finished. Before any help is released by these devil’s incarnate, they will cast a spell or lay a curse on the gift; that as they release so so and so thing to the receiver::
• He/she will serve them
• He/she will always be under them
• You will continue and remain a beggar
• Nothing good will come out from you etc.
As they offer the assistance/gift, before you know what is happening, the spell/curse will follow that person and start manifestation on him/her. You will see yourself blindly and stupidly serving these evil and wicked destiny manipulators, always running back at their feet more and more, soliciting for assistance because, no matter the amount of money or assistance they gave you, it will amount to nothing---zero. If time is not taken, they will initiate the gullible ones into the evil they are into.

Please, if you must seek for help, go to God in prayers and ask Him to put it in the heart of your Helper to locate you. God is ever faithful and will not allow His children that do His will to lack or suffer indefinitely. He can do everything (PSALM 146:5). Always pray over any gift you receive from people, sanctifying it with the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Don’t sell your birthright or destiny in the hands of evil/wicked personalities and save your soul from damnation because it takes the divine mercy and grace of God, and anointing in name of Jesus Christ to break such curses, spells or yokes…SHALOM!!!
# GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS OF GREAT GAIN#

***THE LOVE OF GOD***

Due to the proliferation of evil, most people on earth do not believe in divine love. Even those who are saved have a difficult time believing. Even those who have seen divine love have difficulty believing all the time. God is love; the love of God is divine, pure, holy and perfect love.
Devil has polluted the divine love of God to mean different thing whereby every form of debauchery, lust and immoral affections/feelings are acceptable and viewed as an art of true love. This can be seen among:

 Those into pre-marital sex/fornication
 Adultery among married men/women
 Men that indulges into homosexuals
 Lesbianism among women
 Pedophilia, being sexually attracted to children/minors
 Bestiality, sexual attraction between human and animal
 Incest among relations (brother and sister, father and daughter, mother and son, cousins etc)
“THOSE WHOSE IMAGINATIONS, THOUGHTS AND FANTASIES ARE FULL OF FILTHINESS AND EVIL”.

Imagine in a situation where a sister with an innocent and pure heart compliments a fellow sister/brother in the Lord by saying, “MY BELOVED, I LOVE YOU”, another person with dirty and polluted heart will be like, “ah ah ah, I said it, this brother/sister are having secret affairs,” and if time is not taken, it will become the gossip topic for that period. HMMM, PLEASE WHAT HAPPENED TO AGAPE LOVE
When the Bible speaks of people being clothed in Righteousness (ISAIAH 61:10), it is not referring to literal clothing but rather to people who have the love of God in them, love the truth and live according to it and not the other way round.

There is this adage that says “THERE IS LOVE IN SHARING”. Conversely, many misunderstand/misinterpret it to suit them or justify their lifestyle. They perceive the sharing there to be:
 Sharing of your wife/husband with you,
 Sharing of your body/bed
 Sharing of your wealth/money etc.
What happened to sharing of knowledge, ideas, gifts, experiences, talents etc
Of course, there is love in sharing but it depends on what exactly you are sharing, whether it is according to the will of God and to His Glory or vice versa.
Out of love for the world, God gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind from sin and evil. (NOTE: JESUS HAS PAID THE FINAL SACRIFICES FOR ALL SINS, JOHN 3:16, JOHN 19:30).
This is so you may know that the love of God and testimony of Jesus are truth, and then it becomes a passion as you feel a deep love for each truth…SHALOM!!!

# TRUE AND DIVINE LOVE SPRINGS FORTH FROM GOD ALMIGHTY #

*** PATIENCE; A VERY RARE BUT GREAT VIRTUE (WHOEVER HAD PATIENCE HAD EVERYTHING) ***

Every heavenly minded Christian that wants to go far in any venture be it business, career, ministry, marriage and otherwise needs to imbibe PATIENCE, one of the virtuous fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Patience refers to the ability to stay calm and accept a delay or something annoying without complaining. You cannot have victory over your enemies if you do not learn to wait patiently for the Lord. Neither will you have many of the things God has ordained for you without patience. Patience, faith and persistence are all that one needs to achieve a successful Christian life.

In the art of sowing and reaping, it requires only a patience person to sow his/her seeds, water them, weed them, and wait patiently for the time of harvest in order to reap a bountiful reward. The Scripture made it clear that, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease”. Impatience people on the other hand just want to sow, harvest and reap the reward now now now (immediately).

Impatience has caused many great Ministers of God not to finish their calling; hence they compromise or end their ministry on the way. A real minister must allow trials, challenges and tribulation to produce patience in him (ROMANS 5:3-5). Many have snared themselves through lots of pains and sorrows because of impatience towards acquisition of wealth, power and fame.

The recent Ponzi scheme saga which affected many of their participants including pastors, learned people, even acclaimed prophets/prophetess, seers, diviners, sorcerers etc, can be tailored to lack of patience. Assuming they invested their money in agriculture(fish farming, livestock farming), and exercise patience for 4-8 months so as to harvest and reap their rewards, that would have saved many of them from the headache, pains and trauma of losing their hard earned money just like that.
The Scripture admonishes us thus, “… LET US RUN WITH PATIENCE, LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH… (HEBREWS 12:1-3).

Most youths nowadays does not want to humble themselves through bending down to read/study, acquisition of skills in a particular business/trade or learn a good handiwork. Instead you will see them getting involved in dubious means (internet fraud, robbery, assassination, 419, occultism, prostitution,etc), ritual killings or sacrifices for wealth. Many don’t want to soil their hands with hardwork before reaping the reward. America that almost everybody wants to travel to was built on manual labour with hardwork and commitment during her creation.

Please, whatsoever thy hands findeth to do, do it with thy might…so that through it, your Heavenly Father will bless and reward you honourable. Remember the adage that says, “A PATIENCE DOG EATS THE FATTEST BONE”…SHALOM!!!

*** CONFESSION, THE SECRET TO PRAYERS THAT BRINGS REVIVAL/CHANGE ***

Confession is a very important element in prayers, not just for those praying the sinner’s prayer for salvation, but for Christians in studying biblical accounts of reconciliation and making peace with Almighty God of Creation. When we make confession to God, we are not practicing charity, “NO.” We are only catering to our enlightened self interest. It cuts grief by half, and bitterness of heart.
Examples abound in the scripture such as;
 When Isaiah cried out, “I am undone” (Isaiah 6:5), that was when a live coal was taken from the altar and put on his lips. He proceeded to write one of the greatest books ever written.
 When David confessed his sin, the Lord had mercy on him. David found pardon and restoration when he said to God, “I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me… (Psalm 51:3-4).
 Also, God heard wicked Ahab, husband of the notorious Jezebel when he humbled himself before God. (1 King 21:27-29).

The Scripture encourages confession of sins in the book of Romans 10:9-10, " That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
When Christians are broken over their sins and willing to confess and forsake them, revival reaches its greatest power and purity. Many of the world’s greatest revivals occurred when people mourned before God, confessed and forsake their sins. When we bare our souls before God, we can expect to see our prayers answered.
Furthermore, the devil who is the accuser of the brethren, one way for Christians to stay one step ahead of him is to confess their sins so that the devil will not have a chance to accuse them, thereby stealing or diverting their blessings from them…SHALOM!!!

TEXT: Isaiah 7:7, Isaiah 54:15

THEME: THE LORD WILL REBUKE YOUR ENEMIES

MEMORISE: "And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. "(1 Chronicles 12:17)

MESSAGE:
There are many people whose assignment is to betray friends, relatives, family members and generally those that put their trust in them. Their game plan is to make you believe that they are with you whereas they are the ones that will stab you in the back. In fact one does not necessarily have to offend such people before they seek to destroy you. They are always there — detractors, antagonists, haters, despisers, etc, to gang up, conspire against you and then betray you into the hands of enemies. Judas did it and received the Lord's rebuke. Similar alliances against humans are usually very difficult to scale through except God is with you to fish out the culprits.

What is the conspiracy, gang-up, complicity, connivance, alliance by wicked men and women, demons and their human agents against you? As long as The Lord sees that there is no wrong in your hands, He will rebuke it, therefore, it shall not stand. David made it very clear to those that came to him that if they came to him with all their heart to help him, his heart would be knit together with them. But if their mission was to come and betray him to his enemies, the Lord would intervene and rebuke their move. Today's message is therefore sending out a signal to your enemies that God is ready to deal with their treachery against you.

Worship/praise God and then take the following prayer point:
1. Any conspiracy, complicity, connivance, evil meeting and gathering aimed at betraying me into the hands of mine enemies; backfire, in Jesus' name.

2. Every unfriendly friend or evil brethren pretending to love me whereas they hate me with passion; be exposed and be disgraced, in Jesus' name.

3. Any power targeting me for death; be destroyed, in Jesus' name.

4. Any evil associate or ally of our G. O, our mummy in the Lord and their children selling them into the hands of their enemies; the Lord rebuke you, in Jesus' name.

*** CAN THE ETHIOPIA CHANGE HIS SKIN, OR THE LEOPARD HIS SPOTS? ***

The trend on how lots of people are changing their natural skin colour into white or yellow in the name of toning/bleaching is very alarming, crazy and even shameful. Many are made to believe that the whiter or yellow they appear, the more acceptable they are in the society and the better its prestige value is supposed to be. Some goes on to say that any colour or shade less than white/yellow is “INFERIOR”, hence if it happens to be brown, black or chocolate, it is certainly primitive or old fashioned and does not fit in to what is in vogue.

When one fondly bleaches with any preparation made with harmful chemicals/substances, they are only taking a step towards ruining their divine nature and health.
Take for instance, the wheat from which flour is made is stripped of all its nutrients (proteins, minerals, vitamins etc) in the course of processing it and its left with nothing but starch containing calories. So as you repeatedly abuse your natural colour with all the toxic chemicals in toning or bleaching substances, they keeps on building up and manifests itself in chronic form and disastrous form in future.

At the initial stage when one starts toning/bleaching, the outer layer of the skin is been eroded/washed off thereby exposing the inner dermis (skin) to Ultra violet rays. This brings about body decay/odour and lots of health hazards like skin cancer, ulcers, stretch marks, eczema etc. That is the reason why many people that bleaches always apply/wear perfumes in order to hide the unpleasant odours emitting from their body. As time goes by, the body system is bound to give way and break down one day.
It is written, “CAN THE ETHIOPIA CHANGE HIS SKIN, OR THE LEOPARD HIS SPOTS? THEN MAY YE ALSO DO GOOD, THAT ARE ACCUSTOMED TO DO EVIL (JEREMIAH 13:23)”.
The most annoying and foolish part of it is that apart from these substances causing havoc on your health, your pocket/purse is not spared. You will notice that you are wasting your hard earned money on something that will cause harm to your health and also take you to hospital, where you will also spend money for hospital bills.

Are you into bleaching, please stop it and seek for God’s mercy and His restoration of your lost glory; and if you are planning to start toning/bleaching your skin, remove such evil thoughts from your mind. You are fearfully and wonderfully made…(PSALM 139:14), You are God’s master piece, so please don’t mock God through your lifestyle. WHEN YOU SUCCEED IN BECOMING WHITE/YELLOW OVER NIGHT, ASK YOURSELF WHETHER YOUR CREATOR (GOD) WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE YOU IF YOU DIE IN SUCH AN ARTIFICIAL AND ADULTERATED STATE. . One secret the devil who is a counterfeit/artificial does not want you to know is that “ WHEN YOUR NATURE IS VERY STRONG, IT REFLECTS THE GLORY OF GOD; HE DARE NOT TAMPER WITH YOU, AS A REASON, HE WILL BE VERY FAR FROM YOU…SHALOM!!!
# OBVIOUSLY, ONLY THE UNWISE WILL IGNORE THESE FACTS AND STILL INDULGE IN BLEACHING #

TEXT: HOSEA 4:6, JOEL 3:14.

THEME: THERE IS A DECISION TO MAKE.

MESSAGE:
“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the King, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17, If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18, But if not, be it known unto thee, O King, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.” (DANIEL 3:16-18).
The above declaration was the decision the trio of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego made in the face of obvious intimidation by Nebuchadnezzar to force them to bow down to his god. But the children of God viewed it as an affront on their integrity and told him point blank that even if their God failed to save them, they would still not bow down to the god of Nebuchadnezzar, which means that no matter the challenge or circumstance, we should never compromise our faith.

Have you renounced Jesus Christ or bowed down cowardly immediately any situation poses a danger? Are you the kind of believer that melts before a challenge? It is possible to be confronted by a threatening situation such as was the case of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, whereby you are left with the option to renounce your faith or die. You have a decision tom make today: to re-evaluate the kind of Christianity you practice-whether it is based on righteousness of Christ or based on the stomach, miracles, healing, blessings, connections, etc. It is time to follow in the footsteps of the three Jewish young men under review who demonstrated extraordinary faith in God. Extraordinary faith in God is one sure way of moving Him into action no matter the circumstance. Your Christianity must go beyond “Seeing is believing.”

WORSHIP/PRAISE GOD AND THEN TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRAYER POINTS:
1. O God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, give me the faith that can make me stand my ground no matter the challenge in Jesus’ name.
2. Any evil plan made against me, in the name of Jesus I turn it upon the head of the enemy and I command, “back to sender” in Jesus’ name.
3. Increase the faith of our G.O and our mummy in the Lord. Give them extraordinary boldness and courage to go about preaching the gospel without fear or favour in Jesus’ name…AMEN!!!

*** SAFEGUARD YOUR CHILDREN AND PRESERVE YOUR GENERATION***
Parents please be cautious on how you train and discipline your child/ children. In the course of bringing them up, endeavor to be sowing good seed in them. Don’t use abusive words on them like calling him/her: coconut head, slowpoke, mumu, goat, motor will kill you, thunder fire you, bad boy/girl, etc.

The devil/enemy been a good manipulator of destiny is always out to kill, steal and destroy especially when he envisage that a particular child has bright future and a big threat to his evil kingdoms. Hence when a parent lay curses on a child, the enemy will capitalize on that to be working against the destiny of that child. Enemies within and without, lurking secretly to hear what comes out of your mouth.

In place of curses, why don’t you use that your mouth to bless and pray for them. If your child becomes useful in life tomorrow, it is to your own benefit, and if that child becomes useless or a vagabond tomorrow, it will also affect you and your family at large…SHALOM!!!

THEME: PUT AWAY YOUR STRANGE GODS
"Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments. " (Genesis 35:2)
MESSAGE:
It is certain that only the grace of God can keep man from sin. That is why God has opted to take away the stony heart and instead replace it with the heart of flesh. The stony heart cannot serve God in spirit and in truth. That is why he also opted to put His spirit upon us in order to cause us to walk in His statutes. That is God's magnanimity.
Why has it become expedient to take these measures? One may ask. The truth is that the natural man is disobedient in nature and cannot serve God in spirit and in truth except if the disobedient heart is withdrawn and clean water sprinkled. That is the void which Jesus Christ came to fill. He did with His princely blood and today we can take advantage of this great benevolence and magnanimity.
Sing a few praise/worship songs. Make a thanksgiving prayer and ask God for mercies and the forgiveness of sins. Thereafter, take the following prayer Points.
Prayer Points:
1. Every strange god controlling my life, in the name of Jesus, I put you away. Any evil habit that has refused to give way: be broken by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus' name.
2. Any stubborn habit persisting in my life, be dislodged, in Jesus' name.
3. Any stubborn power whose assignment is to destroy my destiny, die, in Jesus' name.
4. Any character trait in me representing strange fire, receive termination, in Jesus' name.

MEMORY VERSE: "6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. " (Romans 12:6-

MESSAGE:
We have different gifts from God and whatever we have received; we are expected to use them judiciously. Some have the gift of prophecy, teaching, exhortation, giving, and leadership and so on. You must therefore be very careful not to lose any of the gifts that God has bestowed upon you because they are given to you for the edification of the church. You must endeavour to guard them jealously and occupy in them till the coming of our Master Jesus Christ. Remember, those who occupied profitably with the gifts given to them were rewarded while those who wasted their own were punished.

What is or are the gifts that God has given you? And what have you made of them. Do not forget: You will account for them. But always have it in mind: You must make effective use ofthe gifts that have been bestowed upon you.

THEME: GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:4
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

MEMORY VERSE: “28 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated: 29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the unclothedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. 30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.” (Ezekiel 23:18-30)

MESSAGE:
Why will God deliver someone into the hand of his enemies so that they shall deal with him hatefully? God is merciful, but at the same time He is a consuming fire whose mercy must never be taken for granted. He gives long rope for repentance but when this is neglected He might be compelled to take stern measures.

Idolatry is one thing that God hates with perfect hatred. He does not take it kindly when His children veer into false worship. That can be enough to make Him remove His cover of protection thereby allowing their enemies to make mince meat of them. Are you into idolatry, lip-service or eye-service? All of them amount to false worship. You risk the anger of God. He might hand you over to your enemies. The only available option to you right now is genuine repentance.

Sing a few praise/worship song. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God pardon my iniquities; do not hand me over to my enemies, in Jesus’ name.

2. In any way I have neglected the ordinances of God and followed idols or promoted their works, I repent and ask for mercy, in Jesus’ name.

3. Father, direct my footsteps; uphold me that I may not fall, in Jesus’ name.

THEME: ALLOW THE LORD TO ORDER YOUR STEPS

TEXT: Jeremiah 10:23
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

MEMORY VERSE: "23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand." (Psalm 37:23-24)

MESSAGE:
The good man's heart is always subject to the will of God. Though tribulations may surface along the way, the Lord will uphold him and he shall not be totally destroyed. So, allow the Lord to reign in your life.

Many believers sometimes are cajoled into believing that the end has come for them simply because they experience what can be called a blip. That is the trick of the devil. He will try to close your eyes to the positives that must be drawn from any situation and allows you to dwell only on the negatives. Do not fall for this trick. No matter what you are passing through in this life, you must realize that the Lord lives and will never allow you to be destroyed. Sometimes, you might fall, but that does not signify your end. You must gather yourself up again and keep walking.

Sing a few praise/worship songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.
Prayer Points:
1. O Lord God my Father, order my steps, in Jesus' name.

2. Uphold me with your mighty hand of power in Jesus' name.

3. Any spirit assigned to bring me discouragement; quit by fire, in Jesus' name.

4. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I come out of evry trench the enemy has pushed me into, in Jesus' name.

5. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I key into the divine mandate to be fruitful, increase, multiply. replenish, subdue and take dominion, in Jesus' name.

THEME: ACTIVATE THE COVENANT OF SEED TIME AND HARVEST

TEXT: Genesis 8:22
22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

MEMORY VERSE: "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. " (Genesis 9:1-2)

MESSAGE:
The scripture insists that every word that proceeds will never return back to Him without accomplishing that for which it is spoken. And so long as God has commanded blessing upon Noah and those after him, generations after him remain blessed. No wonder, Abraham and all his offspring remain blessed also. And as spiritual Israelites which we are, we are blessed people.
By the reason of God's blessing, every curse is null and void and of no effect. So, it does not matter who has placed curse upon you, simply use the word of God and revoke them and bask in the blessing of God.

Sing praise/worship with one or two warfare songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.
Prayer Points:
1. Because I am a Chosen: a spiritual Israelite, I command every blessing pronounced upon Noah and generations after him to come upon my life, in Jesus' name.

2. Because God has pronounced His blessings upon me, no curse shall be able to hold me bound. Therefore, every curse pronounced upon me by the enemy, scatter, in Jesus' name.

3. Let the divine mandate to multiply and replenish become activated in my life, in Jesus' name.

4. Any ancient power assigned against my destiny, receive frustration, in Jesus' name.

5. Any power resisting or opposing my blessing, come under the judgment of God, in Jesus' name.
