Go forth and lunch out into the deep
January 2015 during my quiet moment with the Lord, I asked the Lord what He wants me to minister to His people. The LORD spoke to my Heart and said:"go forth and lunch out into the deep"
I believe many of us if not all have a habit of making a new year resolution at the beginning of each year. And sometimes we set some goals and we aim for great things. The Lord is saying, go forth, achieve your ambitions, your goals and your aims and lunch out into the deep. The Lord is ready to bring us into the next level in our lives and endeavours.
I believe many of us if not all have a habit of making a new year resolution at the beginning of each year. And sometimes we set some goals and we aim for great things. The Lord is saying, go forth, achieve your ambitions, your goals and your aims and lunch out into the deep. The Lord is ready to bring us into the next level in our lives and endeavours.
We sometimes have fear of how we are going to achieve our aims, many people have failed to achieve so many hopes and desires in their lives. In the Bible we read about Simon Peter how he has toiled all night and catch no Fish, he has lost hope but Jesus came at that time and minister to him.
(Luke 5:4-8 KJV)
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Do we have fear of unknown? The Bible says in the book of (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
We should leave behind us all those fear and hindrances. Let us have faith in God, with God all things are possible. We should be sure first that all what we are aiming at is in accordance with the Lord`s will, because only his will can be done in our lives. Hallelujah.
I pray that God will direct our ways and his Will for our lives will be accomplished (Amen).

GOD AND THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS
(Psalm 37:1-7KJV)
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Have you ever asked God to grant you your heart desire and it seems as if He wouldn’t answer? Does that mean that our heavenly Father has forsaken or forgotten us? The answer is NO. The good news is that God does not forget whatever we ask Him according to His will.
Why do we have to wait sometimes
1. God's timing may not be your timing
Our heavenly Father knows what is best for us, He knows the appropriate time to give us what we desire. He guides each step we take because He loves us. We should learn to wait patiently on the Lord because His timing is the best. He is a very present help in times of trouble . (Psalm 46:1 KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
He will never forsake us but sometimes He wants us to wait on him because what He WANTS TO DO FOR US IS GREATER THAN WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR and he wants to be sure we are mature enough to handle the greater things he has planned to give to us. Of course while waiting we may be worried but at the end we will realise that it pays to wait on the Lord, and it pays to serve Him.
(1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
2. Not all that glitters is Gold
Sometimes we as Human desire some things and we really want to have them, but as Human we can't see all the implications and complications attached to what we so much desire. Our heavenly father; JEHOVAH is all knowing, he knows the end even from the beginning and He will only give us what is good for us because He is a good God
(Romans 8: 28 KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
3. The habit of just asking
(Psalm 22: 3 KJV) But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
In other words, God “dwells” in the atmosphere of His praise. We should learn to praise and thank God in every Situation we found ourselves because even before we were formed in our mother's womb he knows us and cares for us: (Jeremiah 1: 5 KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Praise - Is the voice of faith, Praise - Is the language of heaven, Praise - Sets the stage for God to move.
4. Do we pray in the right way
In the book of (Luke 11:1-13 KJV) Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us how to pray. The Lord’s Prayer is not a prayer we are to memorize and recite to God. It is an example of the things that should go into a prayer—worship, trust in God, requests, confession, and submission. We are to pray for the things the Lord’s Prayer talks about, using our own words and “customizing” it to our own journey with God. The proper way to pray is to express our hearts to God.
5. What is our Intention
The Intentions of our Hearts matter most. If we deceive ourselves and others, we can never deceive God because he knows every intentions of our Hearts. Let us be honest and open with God, He knows us better than we know ourselves. God is more interested in the content of our hearts than the eloquence of our words. Let us always submit our Will to God, because he loves us and has good plans for us.
(Jeremiah 29:11 KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
MARCH 2019
Jehovah our Father inhabits our PRAISE
Every Moment of our lives is guided by our God. His Grace is sufficient for us. People may change, the world may change but our GOD: „the I Am that I Am“ never changes. Sometimes in life we face Situations that seem bigger than us but God assures us in the book of (Zechariah 4:7 KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Let your Faith be bigger than your fear.
God is all knowing, a leaf from a tree does not fall to the ground without the will of God. He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10 KJV) : Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, let saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Whatever happens to us in life there is a reason for it. There is time for every purpose under the heaven. (Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 KJV)
God knew us before the foundation of the world. We should put God at the center of our lives. Let us complain less and give thanks more. Jehovah our Father inhabits our PRAISE. Let us learn to praise God in all Situations and Circumstances. Praise makes God to move on our behalf and our Praise gives us access to God. And most of all by praising God, we are reminded of the greatness of God.

In the midst of Problems
Trust in God is very vital. Most importantly, when we are in the midst of Problems. God is ever faithful and He is with us, even in the midst of our difficulties. We may sometimes face difficulties and situations that we think are too much for us to bear, but with God on our side we will surely overcome.
What to do when facing problems
1. Fear not
2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version (KJV):
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2. Keep calm and stay positive
Rage will only lead to confusion and oftentimes damage things more. By staying calm when under pressure we will be able to follow God's guidance and directions.
Psalm 37: 7-9 King James Version (KJV)
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
3. Waiting on the Lord in Prayer and fasting
Isaiah 40:31 King James Version (KJV):
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
4. Trust in God's Salvation and Graces:
Revelation 12:11 King James Version (KJV):
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Remember the story in the book of Exodus when the Israelites were in the midst of trouble, they even thought the Egyptians will captured them.
Exodus 14:13 King James Version (KJV):
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
In this Easter Season the God of Salvation will deliver us from all our Problems. Those Problems that make you to be so sad that you cannot discuss with anybody, God says this month will be the end of those Problems, you shall see them no more (Amen).

THE PATHS OF LIFE
Each morning human wakes,
He tends toward two paths:
A path full of enjoyment and deceit,
you walk it with pleasures of the World and pride,
but there is a path that is so narrow
and you can only walk it with God by your side
no extra luggage is require.
People think it’s a very difficult path,
but the LORD has made it easy, saying:
I am the author and the finisher of your faith.
Written by Kehinde Kasper
The world is full of pleasures of the world and so many challenges but the above poem has made us to know that we should look up to Jesus. (Proverbs 14:12 KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
We should walk in the way of the Lord so that we will not be destroyed. You may ask what are the ways of the world, the Bible has made us to know these in (Galatians 5:19-21 KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Search your life if there is any of these things listed above present in your life. That means you still have extra luggage in you which you need to drop. Drop it today and turn to Christ. Jesus Christ is calling you now.
(John 6:37 KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Whatsoever you are passing through, Christ is ready to help.
Are you passing through Oppressions, Distress, Misfortune, Loads of Sin, Poverty, Barrenness, Failure, name it, the Lord is able to deliver you. Jesus shed his blood on the cross so that you might be save and be cleanse from your sin. Accept him today as your Lord and personal saviour and he will save you. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Hold unto him and he will deliver you.
Give your life to Christ now and be born again, tomorrow may be too late. Are you ready now, then confess your sin, forsake your sin, accept Christ and confess him as your Lord and personal saviour.
Now that you are a Christian the Word of God should not cease from you. You should study His Word.
(Psalm 119:105 KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. go to: https://www.jesus-ministry.de/now-that-you-are-a-christian.html

No matter what we are going through, the Lord has solution to our problems. All we have to do is to speak to the situation in Faith and prophecy into our Lives.

PSALM 147
(Psalm 147: 1-6 KJV)
1 Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
There is power in praising God. No matter how many problems you have, learn to count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Most of all we should praise the Lord because God is happy when we praise him.
(Psalm 22:3 KJV) But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
The Reasons why we should praise the Lord:
We have so many reasons to praise the Lord but most of all:
1. We should praise God for the breath of Life. When there is life, there is Hope.
2. We should praise him for His protection over us, few are the dangers we see, many are the dangers God protected us from without us being aware of it.
3. God is a merciful God, we should always praise him for His mercy.
4. Praise bring miracle; when all fail, try praise. God is moved by our praise.
5. The list is unending, what about His purpose for creating us. God's plan for creating us was intentional and deliberate, let's always remember to praise God for this.
May God bless us and teach us to know how to praise him (Amen).

BUY THE TRUTH
(Proverbs 23:23 KJV)
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
In this World of ours, the Truth is very rare. People prefer lies. Infact liars get more favour because most time people tend to accept liars more than the trustworthy person.
People lies for so many reasons:
· Some lies to uphold themselves and make themselves more important in the sight of others, all in the name of pride, They tell lies to their friends to make themselves feel more important.
· Some lies to bring others down. Most times when they are envious of the other person they prefer to tell lies against the person and bring the person down, so many souls have been destroyed due to false accusations and lies.
· Some tell lies to get favour, the Bible says Favour comes from the Lord, when the Lord decide to give us favour it does not depend on our lies, God will do what he says he will do.
(Psalm 5:12 KJV)
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
The TRUTH IS GOLD, but people may never believe this. There are so many nice things in this World but truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding is very very important.
God want us to acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.
God want us to acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.
(Proverb 4:7 KJV) Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Whatever we want to acquire in the world, we should always aim at wisdom, and understanding, together with TRUTH we will be able to acquire great things in life.
The lie can run for years but the truth catches up with it one day. There is victory of truth over Falsehood.
Wisdom, understanding, instruction and truth are GOLD. God as our loving Father want us to have all these virtues, in all these there is greatness.
Whatever we want to acquire in the world, we should always aim at wisdom, and understanding, together with TRUTH we will be able to acquire great things in life.

FORGIVENESS
What is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is the act of pardoning an offender. Forgiveness is a gift and an act of kindness; it is indeed the greatest act of kindness you can give to yourself.
Sometimes we find it so hard to forgive people who offend us. Most times the people who offend us are those whom we trust most, someone we look up to, at times the very people whom we love the most and cherish. Forgiving can be hard, especially when someone hurts us.
What does the Bible teaches us about forgiveness?
One of the main purpose of christianity is forgiveness. In actual fact forgiveness ist one of the major teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 6:14-15 KJV)
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
(Ephesians 1:7 KJV)
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Through the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ we have redemption and this redemption is the forgiveness of sins.
Why is it so hard to forgive?
1. sometimes we were so wounded by people we trusted most. The wound may have been old, but the pain remains fresh.
2. sometimes people treated others unfairly in order to maximize their own power. We often find it difficult to forgive because they've wounded us to our very soul.
What does God does with our sins?
- He erases them
Isaiah 43:24-25 KJV
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
- He does not record them
Psalm 32:2 KJV
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
- He totally removes them
Psalm 103:12 KJV
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
- He nails them to the cross
Colossians 2: 13-14 KJV
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Why do we have to forgive others?
1. From a Gracious God we receive forgiveness; we have all sinned against God
2. Forgiving someone is a difficult thing to do, but it's a necessity for our well-being; Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself: It improves our life by improving our physical and emotional health.
3. Forgiving someone who has hurt you could be the greatest challenge of your life. But if you choose to forgive, you glorify God and reveal His character to those around you.
Jesus died on the cross not because something was wrong with him, but because everything was wrong with us.
Forgiveness and being reconciled are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not patting one another on the back and turning blind eye to the wrong.
Forgiveness looks sin in the eye and speaks the costly words : "I forgive you."
In most cases, the only way to forgive is by remembering. It is important that we do not make a simplistic connection between forgiving and forgetting. True forgiveness requires a careful look at what has actually happened to us. It is possible that we genuinely do not remember what someone has done against us, but most often it is largely a mistake to say, "Forgive and forget." Rather, the judgment of grace enables us, through the power of Holy Spirit, to remember well and deal with it.
- True forgiveness requires the offender to own sin repentantly.
- Genuine repentance goes deeper than apology or the expression of regret.
- forgiveness is given graciously and generously; if they repent, forgive them.
Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting to remember, but remembering to forget.
O Lord our GOD, grant us the Grace to genuinely forgive those who ask us for forgiveness.

God Knows Everything
Our God is the God Of Knowledge, he knows everything about me, you and the whole World even before the Creation of the World. His Knowledge is without limit. Our God knows the end from the beginning.
(Isaiah 46:10 KJV) Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
I love this Psalm so much: (Psalm 139: 1-24 KJV)
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
The Lord our GOD is ever faithful. May the good Lord continue to guide us on all our ways, Amen.

MY GOD THE JEHOVAH
(Isaiah 42:8 KJV) I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
I love all the names of God but an intense joy filled my heart calling him by his name Jehovah. Jehovah name of God is a very powerful name. Each compound names of Jehovah have specific meaning.
Let’s take a look at the Seven Compound Names of Jehovah:
1. Jehovah-Jireh: The Lord, my Provider - Philip 4:19
2. Jehovah-Nissi :The Lord our Banner"- I Chronicles 29:11-13
3. Jehovah raah : The Lord our Shepherd- Psalms 23:1
4. Jehovah Rapha : The Lord our Healer-Exodus 15:26
5. Jehovah shalom : The Lord our Peace- Isaiah 9:6
6. Jehovah shammah : The Lord who is Present - Hebrews 13:5
7. Jehovah tsidkenu : The Lord our Righteousness-Jeremiah 23:6
God is able to do all things. He is all powerful God. He has answer to all our problems.
May JEHOVAH protect and guide our steps.
I wish you all the compliments of the season!

GIVING THANKS IN EVERYTHING
(Psalm 34:1 KJV)
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise at all time. In all things we should give Him thanks. He is our redeemer. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God; No matter what we are going through he stands secure for us. He knows just what we do.
Let us celebrate God at all times. Let us sing psalms of praise to him for THE PRECIOUS GIFT: JESUS CHRIST.
(John 3:16 KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God I thank you because before you formed me in my mother's womb you knew me .
(Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
(Psalm 139:13-14 KJV)
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
(Psalm 150:6 KJV) Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Our God is an awesome God. God's Love is Perfect and his Love for us is unending. May the Lord give us the Grace to love him and to surrender to his Will with all our hearts (Amen).

THE PATHS OF LIFE

A path full of enjoyment and deceit,

Search your life if there is any of these things listed above present in your life. That means you still have extra luggage in you which you need to drop. Drop it today and turn to Christ. Jesus Christ is calling you now.
(John 6:37 KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Whatsoever you are passing through, Christ is ready to help.
Are you passing through Oppressions, Distress, Misfortune, Loads of Sin, Poverty, Barrenness, Failure, name it, the Lord is able to deliver you. Jesus shed his blood on the cross so that you might be save and be cleanse from your sin. Accept him today as your Lord and personal saviour and he will save you. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Hold unto him and he will deliver you.
Give your life to Christ now and be born again, tomorrow may be too late. Are you ready now, then confess your sin, forsake your sin, accept Christ and confess him as your Lord and personal saviour.

NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN STAND IN THE WAY OF MESSIAH'S PROVIDENCE
(Zechariah 4: 1-14 KJV)
1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lordof the whole earth.
When Jesus says yes, nobody can say no. Sometimes we find ourselves in some difficult situations and it seems like there is no way out. The Bible says Christ in us is the hope of glory. Who can stand in the way of Messiah's Providence? Nobody!
God has proved to me in so many occasions that Nothing and No One can stand in the way of his Providence. He is our living HOPE. He is the HOPE OF GLORY.
(Zechariah 4:7 KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
When we put our total trust in God and we commit our ways to him then our lives are sure and secure. God loves us and he is ever faithful.
Nothing or no one can hinder God from accomplishing His purposes in our lives.
We should commit our plans to God. He is the beginning and the end. He knows everything about our lives and He is ever faithful.
( Proverbs 16 :3 KJV)
Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
No one can hold back his hand or say to him: What have you done?
My God is a miracle God, he will never change. He will do what he says he will do. People may Change, the earth may be remove but God will never Change.
The LORD is good all the time!
May the God of love be with us and continue to guide our ways (Amen).

BUY THE TRUTH
(Proverbs 23:23 KJV)
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
In this World of ours, the Truth is very rare. People prefer lies. Infact liars get more favour because most time people tend to accept liars more than the trustworthy person.
People lies for so many reasons:
· Some lies to uphold themselves and make themselves more important in the sight of others, all in the name of pride, They tell lies to their friends to make themselves feel more important.
· Some lies to bring others down. Most times when they are envious of the other person they prefer to tell lies against the person and bring the person down, so many souls have been destroyed due to false accusations and lies.
· Some tell lies to get favour, the Bible says Favour comes from the Lord, when the Lord decide to give us favour it does not depend on our lies, God will do what he says he will do.
(Psalm 5:12 KJV)
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
The TRUTH IS GOLD, but people may never believe this. There are so many nice things in this World but truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding is very very important.
God want us to acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.
God want us to acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.
(Proverb 4:7 KJV) Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Whatever we want to acquire in the world, we should always aim at wisdom, and understanding, together with TRUTH we will be able to acquire great things in life.
The lie can run for years but the truth catches up with it one day. There is victory of truth over Falsehood.
Wisdom, understanding, instruction and truth are GOLD. God as our loving Father want us to have all these virtues, in all these there is greatness.
Whatever we want to acquire in the world, we should always aim at wisdom, and understanding, together with TRUTH we will be able to acquire great things in life.

The Wonderful and Amazing Gift from God to us
one of the most wonderful and amazing Gifts from God to us is the Holy Spirit. Our journeys as Christians in this world of ours, are no easy task. But thanks to THE COMFORTER; THE HELPER: THE HOLY SPIRIT.
John 16:7 King James Version (KJV): Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Sometimes we might face discouraging situations, but knowing the Spirit within us will enable us to do whatever He’s called us to accomplish, will give us the courage to forge ahead in the midst of the challenges.
one of my best Chapters in the Bible is Act Chapter 2. I so much love the description of how the Holy Spirit came. The Book of Acts 2: 1-4 explains some of the ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Acts 2: 1-4 King James Version (KJV):
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The Holy Spirit is a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and he is the cloven tongues like as of fire. The Holy Spirit of God empowers us and guides us into all truth.
The Holy Spirit is our helper without him we are nothing.
Romans 8:26 King James Version (KJV):
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth 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.

THE LOVE THAT SURPASSES ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING
(Ephesians 3 :14-19 KJV)
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
God is LOVE and in Him we can be sure of unfailing love forever. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation. We can trust him, rely on him, depend on him totally and without reservation. People may disappoint us, but God remains the same. His foundation remains firm and unshakeable.
(Hebrews 13: 8 KJV) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
(Malachi 3: 6 KJV) For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
LOVE (GOD) WILL NEVER FAIL
(John 15:13 KJV)
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
GOD'S LOVE STANDS FIRM AND SECURE
No matter what we are facing right now. No matter how difficult the situation is, it won't last forever.
(Psalm 30:5 KJV) For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
John 3:16-17 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
The main purpose of HIS LOVE for us is that we may have life everlasting.
Are you born again? If not please do not loss this opportunity. Give your life to Christ today and accept him as your lord and personal saviour. To know more about Jesus Christ and Salvation go to:

PSALM 16
(Psalm 16:1-6 KJV)
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
God is an awesome God. He is a great king over all. According to the verse 1 of Psalm 16 we should endeavour to put our total hope in God and trust him for his divine guidance and care in the journey of our lives.
Our trust in God should not just be of mere confession but the one full of fulfilment and this we can achieve by choosing God as our portion in this season and forever.
(Matthew 16:26 KJV) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Having Jesus Christ, as our portion of inheritance in this World is a great thing, according to the verse 6 of this Psalm it is a beautiful inheritance. Christ in us is the hope of glory; nothing can be compare to Jesus Christ in us.
He fought and won the battle we would not have ever won; he defeated the enemies of Christ. God is good and He deserves to be put above all things.
May the Lord bless us and grant us all our heart's Desires (Amen).

God Knows Everything
Our God is the God Of Knowledge, he knows everything about me, you and the whole World even before the Creation. His Knowledge is without limit. Our God knows the end from the beginning.
(Isaiah 46:10 KJV) Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
I love this Psalm so much: (Psalm 139: 1-24 KJV)
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
May the good Lord continue to guide us on all our ways, Amen.

WHEN THE LORD TURNED AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION
(Psalm 126:1 KJV)
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
The people of Zion were in captivity but the Lord rescue them and release them from their captivity. Sometimes we find ourselves in some difficult situations and it seems like there is no way out. God is a good God. In any situation we find ourselves we should always trust in God because God will never forsake his own people.
(Psalm 30:5 KJV) For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
God is able to restore all we have lost; more than we could ever imagined. Sometimes we may face disappointment, though it's hard to cope with disappointment, but some disappointments are actually blessings in disguise. Let us put our trust in God because He is the only one who is 100% trustworthy
(Psalm 125 :1 KJV) They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU'RE WAITING ON GOD
1.Praying and fasting; The Bible says „ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16 KJV)
2. Work hard to know the mind of God on the situation you are
3. Seeking the face of God on what He wants you to do about the Situation you are facing
4. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
5. Spend time in Worship
6. Praise God and thank him for what he has done in the past
(Psalm 126:6 KJV) He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
(Psalm 126:6 KJV) He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

OUR SALVATION COMES FROM THE LORD
(Psalm 37:39 KJV) But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
We don't have the righteousness of our own but we are holding onto the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus through faith. The most expensive Gift that God gave to mankind is JESUS CHRIST. He was born and he died on the cross of Calvary because of our Salvation.
(Philippians 3 :9 KJV) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of
the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
We all have our weaknesses, not a single Person in the whole wide World is perfect. When we admit that we have our weaknesses and we humbly submit our will to our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord will make us overcome our weaknesses and shortcomings and we will be able to abide in Him.
Paul was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. When he prayed to be released from his weakness, he received this answer: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
The Man of Calvary is always ever ready to save us and guide our steps. God is perfect and loves everyone. Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
(Psalm 37 : 27-28 KJV )
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Let us appreciate the God that sent His only begotten son to save us. Give your life to Jesus Christ and be save.
The bible says: The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just. The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.
May the good Lord continue to protect us and guide our steps in all we do.
I wish you all a blissful and wonderful Christmas and happy new year in advance.

GIVING THANKS IN EVERYTHING
(Psalm 34:1 KJV)
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise at all times. In all things we should give Him thanks. He is our redeemer. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God; No matter what we are going through he stands secure for us. He knows just what we do.
Let us celebrate God at all times. Let us sing psalms of praise to him for THE PRECIOUS GIFT: JESUS CHRIST.
(John 3:16 KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God I thank you because before you formed me in my mother's womb you knew me .
(Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
(Psalm 139:13-14 KJV)
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
(Psalm 150:6 KJV) Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105 KJV)
The WORD of GOD is both a Lamp and a Light unto our path. God's Word guides us in our daily walk with him: It is a Lamp, a light that illuminates the darkness. The Word of God is a Lamp (a device) and the result of the device is to provide light on the path so we can see.
In this dark World, the Lamp in front of our feet will guide us step by step, guide us in our specific situations and the Light on the path shows us the paths and directions ahead. The Word of God is a wonderful and powerful force, IT IS THE WILL OF GOD, God's Word is eternal. John 1: 1 KJV: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- In darkness the word of God illuminates the darkness. Our lives will be transformed when his light illuminates us. 2 Samuel 22:29; Psalm 119:130.
- The Word of God reveals our identity and our destiny; in his word we have guiding testimony of the scriptures and in his Word we will begin to uncover who we are and where we are bound. Psalm 16:11.
- The word of God acts as our guide and guides and directs us in our daily work with him; Psalm 32:8; Psalm 119:133. God's Word contains all we need to know to live a life that pleases God in obedience and righteousness.
- The word of God Convicts and corrects: Gods word will encourage, convict and correct us in ways that apply. 2 Timothy 3:16 KJV: 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
- The Word of God is living and active. Hebrews 4:12 KJV: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
In this year 2021, let us venture into it with the WORD OF GOD. God promises to guide us all the way through our lives. God uses his words to teach us, instruct us and guide us. Let us depend on him and trust him. When we read Scripture, we stay connected to our living God. I pray that the Holy Spirit will help us to understand the truth of God's Word.
From me and mine to you and yours, wishing you all the joy of the season. Have a Happy New Year!

FORGIVENESS
What is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is the act of pardoning an offender. Forgiveness is a gift and an act of kindness; it is indeed the greatest act of kindness you can give to yourself.
Sometimes we find it so hard to forgive people who offend us. Most times the people who offend us are those whom we trust most, someone we look up to, at times the very people whom we love the most and cherish. Forgiving can be hard, especially when someone hurts us.
What does the Bible teaches us about forgiveness?
One of the main purpose of christianity is forgiveness. In actual fact forgiveness ist one of the major teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 6:14-15 KJV)
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
(Ephesians 1:7 KJV)
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Through the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ we have redemption and this redemption is the forgiveness of sins.
Why is it so hard to forgive?
1. sometimes we were so wounded by people we trusted most. The wound may have been old, but the pain remains fresh.
2. sometimes people treated others unfairly in order to maximize their own power. We often find it difficult to forgive because they've wounded us to our very soul.
What does God does with our sins?
- He erases them
Isaiah 43:24-25 KJV
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
- He does not record them
Psalm 32:2 KJV
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
- He totally removes them
Psalm 103:12 KJV
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
- He nails them to the cross
Colossians 2: 13-14 KJV
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Why do we have to forgive others?
1. From a Gracious God we receive forgiveness; we have all sinned against God
2. Forgiving someone is a difficult thing to do, but it's a necessity for our well-being; Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself: It improves our life by improving our physical and emotional health.
3. Forgiving someone who has hurt you could be the greatest challenge of your life. But if you choose to forgive, you glorify God and reveal His character to those around you.
Jesus died on the cross not because something was wrong with him, but because everything was wrong with us.
Forgiveness and being reconciled are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not patting one another on the back and turning blind eye to the wrong.
Forgiveness looks sin in the eye and speaks the costly words : "I forgive you."
In most cases, the only way to forgive is by remembering. It is important that we do not make a simplistic connection between forgiving and forgetting. True forgiveness requires a careful look at what has actually happened to us. It is possible that we genuinely do not remember what someone has done against us, but most often it is largely a mistake to say, "Forgive and forget." Rather, the judgment of grace enables us, through the power of Holy Spirit, to remember well and deal with it.
- True forgiveness requires the offender to own sin repentantly.
- Genuine repentance goes deeper than apology or the expression of regret.
- forgiveness is given graciously and generously; if they repent, forgive them.
Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting to remember, but remembering to forget.
O Lord our GOD, grant us the Grace to genuinely forgive those who ask us for forgiveness.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the Hills
(Psalm 121: 1-8 KJV)
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
God is ever faithful, glory be to His Holy Name forever. People may fail you, but God won’t. God Jehovah never leaves you hanging.
(Psalm 46:1 KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. God knows what we want even before we ask.
(Psalm 91: 1-3 KJV)
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
The psalmist said surely he will save you, in times of despair and troubles, let us be rest assured that God is ever faithful and He is with us to lead, to protect and to fulfill all His promises to us.
The advantages of trusting in God
1. God fights our battles
2. God watches over us
3. God provides for us
4. Nothing can move us. (Psalm 27:1 KJV) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
5. God delivers us from all our troubles. Psalm 34:19 KJV: Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
6. God protects us
7. God guides our Steps
In times of despair and trouble, let us be rest assured that God is ever faithful and He is always with us to lead, to protect and to fulfil all His promises to us.
(Psalm 119: 89 -90 KJV)
89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
Brethren let us look up to God in every areas of our lives.

NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN STAND IN THE WAY OF MESSIAH'S PROVIDENCE
(Zechariah 4: 1-14 KJV)
1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lordof the whole earth.
When Jesus says yes, nobody can say no. Sometimes we find ourselves in some difficult situations and it seems like there is no way out. The Bible says Christ in us is the hope of glory. Who can stand in the way of Messiah's Providence? Nobody!
God has proved to me in so many occasions that Nothing and No One can stand in the way of his Providence. He is our living HOPE. He is the HOPE OF GLORY.
(Zechariah 4:7 KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
When we put our total trust in God and we commit our ways to him then our lives are sure and secure. God loves us and he is ever faithful.
Nothing or no one can hinder God from accomplishing His purposes in our lives.
We should commit our plans to God. He is the beginning and the end. He knows everything about our lives and He is ever faithful.
( Proverbs 16 :3 KJV)
Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
No one can hold back his hand or say to him: What have you done?
My God is a miracle God, he will never change. He will do what he says he will do. People may Change, the earth may be remove but God will never Change.
The LORD is good all the time!
May the God of love be with us and continue to guide our ways (Amen).

BUY THE TRUTH
(Proverbs 23:23 KJV)
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
In this World of ours, the Truth is very rare. People prefer lies. Infact liars get more favour because most time people tend to accept liars more than the trustworthy person.
People lies for so many reasons:
· Some lies to uphold themselves and make themselves more important in the sight of others, all in the name of pride, They tell lies to their friends to make themselves feel more important.
· Some lies to bring others down. Most times when they are envious of the other person they prefer to tell lies against the person and bring the person down, so many souls have been destroyed due to false accusations and lies.
· Some tell lies to get favour, the Bible says Favour comes from the Lord, when the Lord decide to give us favour it does not depend on our lies, God will do what he says he will do.
(Psalm 5:12 KJV)
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
The TRUTH IS GOLD, but people may never believe this. There are so many nice things in this World but truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding is very very important.
God want us to acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.
God want us to acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.
(Proverb 4:7 KJV) Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

The lie can run for years but the truth catches up with it one day. There is victory of truth over Falsehood.

Surrender all to the Lord
One of my favorite Songs:
I bless you Lord, God of heaven and earth
I adore you Lord, God of heaven and earth
Heaven and earth, heaven and earth.
Our Almighty God is the Lord of heaven and earth. All powers belongs to him. We have no power of our own. When we surrender all to him, he will take absolute control of our lives and he will surely manifest himself in our lives. Isaiah 66 VS 1-2:
1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
What do we have to surrender to God:
- Our lives
- Our health
- Our homes
- Our wills
- Our possessions
- Our careers
- Our abilities
- Our success
- Our riches and wealth
- Our desires
- Our disappointments
- Our challenges
- Our failures
- Our anxieties
- Our fears
As a child of God we should not strive. The Bible says in the book of Proverbs 3 VS 5-8:
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
To surrender all to the LORD we have to:
- trust him
- love him
- have faith in him
- forsake our sins
In the second half of this year 2021 let’s give all to him and we will have all the full cost to glorify His holy Name at the end of this year and forever.
Watch Word for this Month: Taste and see that the LORD is good.

GOD AND THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS
(Psalm 37:1-7KJV)
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Have you ever asked God to grant you your heart desire and it seems as if He wouldn’t answer? Does that mean that our heavenly Father has forsaken or forgotten us? The answer is NO. The good news is that God does not forget whatever we ask Him according to His will.
Why do we have to wait sometimes
1. God's timing may not be your timing
Our heavenly Father knows what is best for us, He knows the appropriate time to give us what we desire. He guides each step we take because He loves us. We should learn to wait patiently on the Lord because His timing is the best. He is a very present help in times of trouble . (Psalm 46:1 KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
He will never forsake us but sometimes He wants us to wait on him because what He WANTS TO DO FOR US IS GREATER THAN WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR and he wants to be sure we are mature enough to handle the greater things he has planned to give to us. Of course while waiting we may be worried but at the end we will realise that it pays to wait on the Lord, and it pays to serve Him.
(1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
2. Not all that glitters is Gold
Sometimes we as Human desire some things and we really want to have them, but as Human we can't see all the implications and complications attached to what we so much desire. Our heavenly father; JEHOVAH is all knowing, he knows the end even from the beginning and He will only give us what is good for us because He is a good God
(Romans 8: 28 KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
3. The habit of just asking
(Psalm 22: 3 KJV) But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
In other words, God “dwells” in the atmosphere of His praise. We should learn to praise and thank God in every Situation we found ourselves because even before we were formed in our mother's womb he knows us and cares for us: (Jeremiah 1: 5 KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Praise - Is the voice of faith, Praise - Is the language of heaven, Praise - Sets the stage for God to move.
4. Do we pray in the right way
In the book of (Luke 11:1-13 KJV) Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us how to pray. The Lord’s Prayer is not a prayer we are to memorize and recite to God. It is an example of the things that should go into a prayer—worship, trust in God, requests, confession, and submission. We are to pray for the things the Lord’s Prayer talks about, using our own words and “customizing” it to our own journey with God. The proper way to pray is to express our hearts to God.
5. What is our Intention
The Intentions of our Hearts matter most. If we deceive ourselves and others, we can never deceive God because he knows every intentions of our Hearts. Let us be honest and open with God, He knows us better than we know ourselves. God is more interested in the content of our hearts than the eloquence of our words. Let us always submit our Will to God, because he loves us and has good plans for us.
(Jeremiah 29:11 KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

PSALM 16: VERSE 1 -6 (King James Version)
Psalm 16:
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
God is an awesome God. He is a great king over all. According to the verse 1 of Psalm 16 we should endeavour to put our total hope in God and trust him for his divine guidance and care in this Month September and throughout our lives.
Our trust in God should not just be of mere confession but the one full of fulfilment and this we can achieve by choosing God as our portion in this season and forever.
As we begin the ember Months, Christmas season is around the corner. Christmas season to many is a time of merriment and enjoyment, some cannot even explain the meaning of Christmas and many did not know the JESUS that is being celebrated.
Jesus teaches in the book of Matthew 16:28 that what gain will it be for us to gain everything in this world and loss our life in heaven (Matthew 16:26:
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul).
Having Jesus Christ, as our portion of inheritance in this World is a great thing, according to the verse 6 of this Psalm it is a beautiful inheritance. Christ in us is the hope of glory; nothing can be compare to Jesus Christ in us.
Whatever opposition we face in life, we should only depend on our Lord God. He will fight and win the battle we would not have ever won; he will defeat the enemies of Christ.
God is good and He deserves to be put above all things.
Watch Word for this Month: Having Jesus Christ, as our portion of inheritance in this World is a great thing.

Jehovah our Father inhabits our PRAISE
Every Moment of our lives is guided by our God. His Grace is sufficient for us. People may change, the world may change but our GOD: „the I Am that I Am“ never changes. Sometimes in life we face Situations that seem bigger than us but God assures us in the book of (Zechariah 4:7 KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Let your Faith be bigger than your fear.
God is all knowing, a leaf from a tree does not fall to the ground without the will of God. He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10 KJV) : Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, let saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Whatever happens to us in life there is a reason for it. There is time for every purpose under the heaven. (Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 KJV)
God knew us before the foundation of the world. We should put God at the center of our lives. Let us complain less and give thanks more. Jehovah our Father inhabits our PRAISE. Let us learn to praise God in all Situations and Circumstances. Praise makes God to move on our behalf and our Praise gives us access to God. And most of all by praising God, we are reminded of the greatness of God.

WHAT are the gains of waiting on the LORD and trusting in the LORD
There are lots of gains in trusting and waiting upon the Lord.

1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
I pray that as we put our trust in God in all we do and in all we are about to do that the Lord we renew our strength.
(Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

WHEN THE LORD TURNED AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION
(Psalm 126:1 KJV)
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
The people of Zion were in captivity but the Lord rescue them and release them from their captivity. Sometimes we find ourselves in some difficult situations and it seems like there is no way out. God is a good God. In any situation we find ourselves we should always trust in God because God will never forsake his own people.
(Psalm 30:5 KJV) For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
God is able to restore all we have lost; more than we could ever imagined. Sometimes we may face disappointment, though it's hard to cope with disappointment, but some disappointments are actually blessings in disguise. Let us put our trust in God because He is the only one who is 100% trustworthy
(Psalm 125 :1 KJV) They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU'RE WAITING ON GOD
1.Praying and fasting; The Bible says „ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16 KJV)
2. Work hard to know the mind of God on the situation you are
3. Seeking the face of God on what He wants you to do about the Situation you are facing
4. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
5. Spend time in Worship
6. Praise God and thank him for what he has done in the past
(Psalm 126:6 KJV) He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
(Psalm 126:6 KJV) He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

CALL UNTO ME
(Jeremiah 33:3 KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. Jesus teaches us in the Book of Matthew 7 verse 7 that we should knock and the door will be opened to us. There is gain in asking.
Our heavenly Father knows the Thoughts and Intents of our hearts even before we ask him, but he wants us to make our intentions known to him.
He is an ever caring Father and He will answer our Prayers and grant us our heart desires when we ask according to His will.
Lets us build an altar to the Lord in our heart. Prayer altars consist of reading God’s Word, worship, listening, journaling, waiting, and “soaking” in His Presence.
Without him we are nothing. With him we have hope and Assurance of tomorrow.
(Matthew 7 : 7 KJV) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

PSALM 16
(Psalm 16:1-6 KJV)
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
God is an awesome God. He is a great king over all. According to the verse 1 of Psalm 16 we should endeavour to put our total hope in God and trust him for his divine guidance and care in the journey of our lives.
Our trust in God should not just be of mere confession but the one full of fulfilment and this we can achieve by choosing God as our portion in this season and forever.
(Matthew 16:26 KJV) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Having Jesus Christ, as our portion of inheritance in this World is a great thing, according to the verse 6 of this Psalm it is a beautiful inheritance. Christ in us is the hope of glory; nothing can be compare to Jesus Christ in us.
God is Faithful, in the midst of my opposition. He fought and won the battle I would not have ever won; he defeated the enemies of Christ. He is ever Faithful. Hallelujah.
God is good and He deserves to be put above all things.
May the Lord bless you and grant you all your heart desires (Amen).

Joy In His Word - 7 Keys to getting your God given Destiny
Psalm 119 verse 130: The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Joy in His Word is Joy in the Lord, because God is Word.
No matter what you are going through, God will always be there, He stands secure for you and he knows just what you do. You are held secure by a Mighty God. You should stand firm in His Word. His Purpose will be fulfilled in your life. Psalm 138 vs 8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. God has a purpose for our lives and he will accomplish it.
How to stand firm in the Lord and fulfill our destinies
Professing His Word into our lives
Hebrews 10 vs 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;). Declared the word of God into your life, confess it and claim it.
Abiding in His Word
John 15 vs 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Enduring in Him
2 Timothy 2 vs 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.
Trust in His Word
Psalm 125 vs 1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.
Communicating with Him
Colossians 4 vs 2 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Hebrews 4 vs 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Securing our lives and destiny with faith in Him
Isaiah 50 vs 7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. With God alone we can find Grace and Mercy in time of need.
Holding firm to His Word
Let not your heart be troubled. 2 Timothy 1 vs 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Romans 8 vs 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Our God given Destiny is God's purpose for our lives. It is the God given Purpose. It is our appointed or ordained future. Destiny is what God has predetermined us to be and to become, in His divine will. Secure your Destiny only in Christ, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the Light of the world. Ephesians 2 vs 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Watch Word for this Month: Secure your Destiny only in Christ, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the Light of the world.

Jehovah our Father inhabits our PRAISE
Every Moment of our lives is guided by our God. His Grace is sufficient for us. People may change, the world may change but our GOD: „the I Am that I Am“ never changes. Sometimes in life we face Situations that seem bigger than us but God assures us in the book of (Zechariah 4:7 KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Let your Faith be bigger than your fear.
God is all knowing, a leaf from a tree does not fall to the ground without the will of God. He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10 KJV) : Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, let saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Whatever happens to us in life there is a reason for it. There is time for every purpose under the heaven. (Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 KJV)
God knew us before the foundation of the world. We should put God at the center of our lives. Let us complain less and give thanks more. Jehovah our Father inhabits our PRAISE. Let us learn to praise God in all Situations and Circumstances. Praise makes God to move on our behalf and our Praise gives us access to God. And most of all by praising God, we are reminded of the greatness of God.
Watch Word for this Month: Heavenly Father! Today I express my Gratitude to you and I thank you for loving me so much. Your love endures forever.

God Knows Everything
The Almighty God is a God of Knowledge. He knows everything about me, you and The Whole World even before the Creation of the Universe. His knowledge is without limit. Our God knows the end from the beginning.
(Isaiah 46:10 KJV) Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
I love this Psalm so much: (Psalm 139: 1-24 KJV)
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
The Lord our GOD is ever faithful. May the good Lord continue to guide us on all our ways, Amen.

GIVING THANKS IN EVERYTHING
(Psalm 34:1 KJV)
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise at all times. In all things we should give Him thanks. He is our redeemer. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God; No matter what we are going through, he stands secure for us. He knows just what we do.
Let us celebrate God at all times. Let us sing psalms of praise to him for THE PRECIOUS GIFT: JESUS CHRIST.
(John 3:16 KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God I thank you because before you formed me in my mother's womb you knew me .
(Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
(Psalm 139:13-14 KJV)
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
(Psalm 150:6 KJV) Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Go forth and lunch out into the deep
I believe many of us if not all have a habit of making a new year resolution at the beginning of each year. And sometimes we set some goals and we aim for great things. The Lord is saying, go forth, achieve your ambitions, your goals and your aims and lunch out into the deep. The Lord is ready to bring us into the next level in our lives and endeavours.
We sometimes have fear of how we are going to achieve our aims, many people have failed to achieve so many hopes and desires in their lives. In the Bible we read about Simon Peter how he has toiled all night and catch no Fish, he has lost hope but Jesus came at that time and minister to him.
(Luke 5:4-8 KJV)
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Do we have fear of unknown? The Bible says in the book of (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
We should leave behind us all those fear and hindrances. Let us have faith in God, with God all things are possible. We should be sure first that all what we are aiming at is in accordance with the Lord`s will, because only his will can be done in our lives. Hallelujah.
I pray that God will direct our ways and his Will for our lives will be accomplished (Amen).

In the midst of Problems
Trust in God is very vital. Most importantly, when we are in the midst of Problems. God is ever faithful and He is with us, even in the midst of our difficulties. We may sometimes face difficulties and situations that we think are too much for us to bear, but with God on our side we will surely overcome.
What to do when facing problems
1. Fear not
2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version (KJV):
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2. Keep calm and stay positive
Rage will only lead to confusion and oftentimes damage things more. By staying calm when under pressure we will be able to follow God's guidance and directions.
Psalm 37: 7-9 King James Version (KJV)
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
3. Waiting on the Lord in Prayer and fasting
Isaiah 40:31 King James Version (KJV):
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
4. Trust in God's Salvation and Graces:
Revelation 12:11 King James Version (KJV):
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Remember the story in the book of Exodus when the Israelites were in the midst of trouble, they even thought the Egyptians will captured them.
Exodus 14:13 King James Version (KJV):
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
In this Month God will deliver us from all our Problems. Those Problems that make you to be so sad that you cannot discuss with anybody, God says this month will be the end of those Problems, you shall see them no more (Amen).

God’s Timing
God is always on time. God can do everything except one thing - he never lies.
His perspective is different from ours.
(Isaiah 55:8-9)
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Have you ever asked God to grant you your heart’s desire and it seems as if He wouldn’t answer? Does that mean that our heavenly Father has forsaken or forgotten us? The answer is NO.
The good news is that God does not forget whatever we ask Him according to His will. God has perfect timing for everything. We should learn to wait patiently on the Lord. His timing is the best. Submit your Will to God, because he loves you and has good plans for you. God knows the appropriate time to give us what we desire.
Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
God knows the appropriate time to give us what we desire. He guides each step we take because He loves us. He is a very present help in times of trouble.
(Psalm 46:1 KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37
Sometimes the situations in our lives may put us off and it seems like there's no way out. This type of condition can be referred to as dry bone in the valley.
But the Lord has a word of encouragement for us, which can be found in the book of Ezekiel Chapter 37 (KJV).
No matter what we are going through, the Lord has solution to our problems. All we have to do is to speak to the situation in Faith and prophecy into our Lives.
What do we require to do in order for the dry bones in our lives to rise again:
1. We have to be born again i.e born of GOD and HOLY SPIRIT.
2. We must have Faith in GOD
3. We should be prayerful
4. We should put on the whole Armor of GOD (read Ephesians 6: 10 - 18 KJV).
GOD bless you (Amen).

FORGIVENESS
What is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is the act of pardoning an offender. Forgiveness is a gift and an act of kindness; it is indeed the greatest act of kindness you can give to yourself.
Sometimes we find it so hard to forgive people who offend us. Most times the people who offend us are those whom we trust most, someone we look up to, at times the very people whom we love the most and cherish. Forgiving can be hard, especially when someone hurts us.
What does the Bible teaches us about forgiveness?
One of the main purpose of christianity is forgiveness. In actual fact forgiveness ist one of the major teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 6:14-15 KJV)
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
(Ephesians 1:7 KJV)
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Through the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ we have redemption and this redemption is the forgiveness of sins.
Why is it so hard to forgive?
1. sometimes we were so wounded by people we trusted most. The wound may have been old, but the pain remains fresh.
2. sometimes people treated others unfairly in order to maximize their own power. We often find it difficult to forgive because they've wounded us to our very soul.
What does God does with our sins?
- He erases them
Isaiah 43:24-25 KJV
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
- He does not record them
Psalm 32:2 KJV
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
- He totally removes them
Psalm 103:12 KJV
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
- He nails them to the cross
Colossians 2: 13-14 KJV
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Why do we have to forgive others?
1. From a Gracious God we receive forgiveness; we have all sinned against God
2. Forgiving someone is a difficult thing to do, but it's a necessity for our well-being; Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself: It improves our life by improving our physical and emotional health.
3. Forgiving someone who has hurt you could be the greatest challenge of your life. But if you choose to forgive, you glorify God and reveal His character to those around you.
Jesus died on the cross not because something was wrong with him, but because everything was wrong with us.
Forgiveness and being reconciled are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not patting one another on the back and turning blind eye to the wrong.
Forgiveness looks sin in the eye and speaks the costly words : "I forgive you."
In most cases, the only way to forgive is by remembering. It is important that we do not make a simplistic connection between forgiving and forgetting. True forgiveness requires a careful look at what has actually happened to us. It is possible that we genuinely do not remember what someone has done against us, but most often it is largely a mistake to say, "Forgive and forget." Rather, the judgment of grace enables us, through the power of Holy Spirit, to remember well and deal with it.
- True forgiveness requires the offender to own sin repentantly.
- Genuine repentance goes deeper than apology or the expression of regret.
- forgiveness is given graciously and generously; if they repent, forgive them.
Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting to remember, but remembering to forget.
O Lord our GOD, grant us the Grace to genuinely forgive those who ask us for forgiveness.

We are more than conquerors
Romans 8:37 (KJV) - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
In Christ we are completely victorious. We are winners that is what the Bible says - 2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
We have a Mighty God who loves us with unconditional love and fights for us in all circumstances. His banner over us is love.
Yes we all face challenges and we all have obstacles to overcome. Yes the journey is not easy. Of course the righteous will suffer many afflictions. But glory be to God because the God Almighty will deliver the righteous person from them - Psalm 34:19 (KJV) Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
The Lord will make our suffering to work for our ultimate good - Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Satan is our adversary. He sends all kinds of life-defeating, joy-stealing attacks to threaten the well-being and faith of God’s children. The Lord says: we should not fear - Psalm 27:1 (KJV) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Isaiah 12: 1-6 (KJV)
1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
The Lord is our Strength, our Stronghold, our Refuge. His praise shall continually be in our mouth. We find our purpose and life in Him. He never disappoints. Whatever happens to us, is permitted by God. The circumstances will work all together for our good. Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that makes us more than conquerors through Christ who loves us.
Watch Word for the Month of July - Romans 5:1 - 2 (KJV)
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

God is an awesome God. He is a great king over all. According to the verse 1 of Psalm 16 we should endeavour to put our total hope in God and trust him for his divine guidance and care in the journey of our lives.
Our trust in God should not just be of mere confession but the one full of fulfilment and this we can achieve by choosing God as our portion in this season and forever.
(Matthew 16:26 KJV) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Having Jesus Christ, as our portion of inheritance in this World is a great thing, according to the verse 6 of this Psalm it is a beautiful inheritance. Christ in us is the hope of glory; nothing can be compare to Jesus Christ in us.
I faced some opposition to be precise in year 2010 and then I know the real meaning of Jesus Christ in me. He fought and won the battle I would not have ever won; he defeated the enemies of Christ.

Life Everlasting
God’s Love is Eternal, Pure and Unconditional. No matter what we are facing right now. No matter how difficult the situation is, it won't last forever. GOD'S LOVE STANDS FIRM AND SECURE. One of the main purpose of HIS LOVE for us is that we may have life everlasting.
What do we have to do to have Life Everlasting?
Answer: John 10:27 - 28 (KJV)
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
The instruction is clear and straightforward. Jesus is saying today follow me. The Lord is the author and the finisher of our faith.
„Trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey“.
The journey of Life is not easy but with God on our side we are more than able. God loves and cares for us.
Here is a poem I composed some years back.
THE PATHS OF LIFE
Each morning human wakes.
He tends toward two paths:
A path full of enjoyment and deceit,
you walk it with pleasures of the World and pride.
But there is a path that is so narrow,
and you can only walk it with God by your side.
No extra luggage is required.
People think it’s a very difficult path,
but the LORD has made it easy, saying:
I am the author and the finisher of your faith.
1 John 5:10-12
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all this new month and forever, Amen
Watch Word for the Month of September- Psalm 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

PSALM 147
(Psalm 147: 1-6 KJV)
1 Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
There is power in praising God. No matter how many problems you have, learn to count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Most of all we should praise the Lord because God is happy when we praise him.
(Psalm 22:3 KJV) But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
The Reasons why we should praise the Lord:
We have so many reasons to praise the Lord but most of all:
1. We should praise God for the breath of Life. When there is life, there is Hope.
2. We should praise him for His protection over us, few are the dangers we see, many are the dangers God protected us from without us being aware of it.
3. God is a merciful God, we should always praise him for His mercy.
4. Praise bring miracle; when all fail, try praise. God is moved by our praise.
5. The list is unending, what about His purpose for creating us. God's plan for creating us was intentional and deliberate, let's always remember to praise God for this.
May God bless us and teach us to know how to praise him (Amen).

OUR BELIEFS AS CHRISTIANS
As BORN AGAIN children of God we should make our Beliefs based on Bible. We should know for sure who and what we believe. Sometimes we may face challenges when someone ask us what are our beliefs as born again children of God.

2. ALL POWERFUL GOD: HE is the Almighty and the WALL OF DEFENCE for all who trust in Him
3. Unconditional LOVE OF GOD
4. The salvation through JESUS CHRIST: HE came to the world for our sin, died on the cross of calvary and rose the third day. Hallelujah
5. The second coming of JESUS CHRIST
6. The righteousness of God: HE is all righteous and I believe I don’t have any Righteousness of my own; I am holding unto the Righteousness of God in CHRIST JESUS.
7. HOLY SPIRIT: Our HELPER, COMFORTER, INTERCESSOR AND JUDGE (read ROMANS 8: 26-27 KJV).

God is faithful to fulfill His promises
Hebrews 11:11
By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
Faith enabled Abraham to become a father, even though he was old and Sarah had never been able to have children. Abraham trusted that God would keep his promise. Faith allows us to have a personal relationship with God and to trust in His promises. By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” Faith gives us hope and helps us to endure difficult circumstances. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. God has the answers and the strength we need to face any challenge before us. Joshua 1:9 Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”
There’s a lot we can learn from the life of Joshua. He didn’t have all the answers for the challenges before him. Like Joshua, we seldom have all the answers to our personal challenges. I want you to know that the Lord will always be with us in whatever circumstance. God has the answers and the strength we need to face any challenge before us. He was with Joshua, and He will be with us. I encourage you to have faith. Trust that God will give you what you need to succeed. God is Faithful and He is completely Trustworthy.
Watch Word for the Month of December -
Thank You Lord because You are always with us in whatever circumstance, and You have the answers and the strength we need to face any challenge before us.
Amen
