HAVE FAITH

July 20, 2013

A man just got married and was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in a boat, when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless:

The boat was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be drowned. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening. The woman was trembling and she said, “Are you not afraid ?”. This may be our last moment of life! It doesn’t seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only some miracle can save us; otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?

The man laughed and took the sword out of its sheath. The woman was even more puzzled: What he was doing? Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman’s neck, so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck. He said,” Are you afraid?” She started to laugh and said,” Why should I be afraid?, If the sword is in your hands, why I should be afraid? I know you love me.” He put the sword back and said, “this is my answer, I know God Loves me, and the storm is in His hands. SO WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD because everything is in His hands and He cannot do anything wrong.”

In the natural realm, we exchange money for the things we want and need. But in the spiritual realm, faith is what we exchange. The Bible tells us that when we pray, if we have faith, we will receive what we pray for. Faith is heaven's currency. Faith moves mountains. Faith opens supernatural doors. Mark 11:22 says “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” To please God, it requires faith. I pray that by His grace, you shall always live by faith in Jesus Name. Amen!

GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLAN FOR YOU

July 19, 2013

A certain evangelist's wife died, and when he had to be away in meetings, he hired a babysitter to take care of his two sons. Whenever he had been away, he would always bring them a gift when he arrived back home. One day, however, he came home and had forgotten to buy the boys a gift. When they asked for their presents, the father told them that he would take them to the store and that they could have whatever they wanted. When they arrived, the first thing they saw was the candy counter. They decided they wanted to buy candy. Their father said, "Let's look around a little more first." Then, they went to the toy department and saw some cowboy suits, complete with guns, hats, ropes, etc. They both yelled, "This is what we want!" Their father replied, "Let's just look around a little first."

So they continued to shop and as they did, they spotted 2 brand new 10 speed bicycles against the back wall. Their father saw what they were looking at and said, "How would you like to have those bikes?" Those 2 boys left that store with far more than they bargained for because their father refused to let them settle for less that his best. You see, he had intended to buy the bikes all along! Those 2 boys thought candy would be wonderful, but their father had something far more wonderful in mind.

So it is with the Lord, He has plans for us that we can never ever imagine. Isaiah 55:9, says “For as the heaven are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” We see things and formulate plans that we think would be wonderful, but God has something far more special for us than we could ever imagine.

So, keep dreaming, keep trusting, keep serving because God is preparing a great victory for you to enjoy. He truly has something special for you and His plans for your life shall come to pass in Jesus Name. Amen!

YOU ARE UNIQUE

                                                                     July 18, 2013

                                             

Have you ever found yourself standing in the middle of a crowd? You look around, and you can't see anyone you know ... and you're sure that no one in that crowd knows you. You've had that feeling, haven't you? When you're standing in the middle of that crowd you have a strong feeling that no one even knows you exist. And just at that moment you probably also feel like there's nothing special about you at all. You're just another person ... another face in the crowd.

Well, that's not an unusual feeling to have. You're not the first person to feel that way. But you're wrong. I can guarantee it. You're not just another face in the crowd. You are unique ... you are special ... there is no one else in the entire world exactly like you.

Nick Vujicic (the limbless motivational speaker and preacher) is thankful to have been born 30 years ago with no arms and no legs. That he was limbless made him unique. I have a friend whose laughter makes people turn their heads. That makes him a unique person because there is no two people on earth who can laugh the same way he laughs. Even if there is someone that laughs like him, I am sure the person doesn’t sneeze the way he does.

Psalm 139:14 says, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU! No one prays about exactly the same concerns as you do.

See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you! YOU ARE UNIQUE! YOU ARE NOT COMMON. YOU ARE PRICELESS. YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. YOU ARE NOT A CHEAP COMMODITY. YOU ARE NOT JUST ANYONE, YOU ARE YOU. CHERISH THAT. CARRY YOURSELF WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ARE ROYALTY IN PERSON.

Father, help me to value my uniqueness in Jesus Name. Amen!

GOD IS NOT DONE WITH YOU YET

                                                                    July 17, 2013

Have you ever wondered why on earth you are still alive? Have you ever wondered when it is going to be your turn to rejoice? Phil 1:6 says, “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the Day of Jesus”.  

I want you to know that God finishes what He started. He did not bring you this far to leave you on your own. If your assignment on earth is finished, then you won’t be reading this because you would have gone back to report to Him. No matter what life brings us remember this: God doesn’t change his mind and sure doesn’t make mistakes. If He said it, it shall come to pass.

It’s not our strength that keeps us, but it’s the power of God that keeps us going. So the next time you feel like throwing in the towel, know that Jesus will step in on time and give you strength. Remember that when facing trials, it’s God that is going to work it out. We are not responsible for saving ourselves, that’s God’s job. He will see you through every trial or battle. After all God is the one who designed, planned and predestined everything about you.

In spite of what others may say or call you, know that God is not done molding you yet.

There are new levels and new heights that God has prepared for you, there are great feats to achieve for God but you have to be patient, it takes time to create a masterpiece. So continue to read and study God’s word. I do tell people that the reason why you are still alive is because God is not done with you yet.

God never ever starts something and not finish it. He will not abandon you. He will not leave you helpless because you are His handiwork. May God continue to meet your needs according to His riches in glory in Jesus Name. Amen!

STAY CONNECTED

July 16, 2013

 The only way you can keep having government electricity in your home is to be connected to the grid. The moment your connection is lost, electricity goes off. In this our tech age, without an active internet data on your device, it would be impossible to stay connected to the internet.

Sometimes even with active data bundle on your device, because of some issues, there would still be connection error, so the best connection is to stay connected to God, however, sometimes because of the worries and stresses, we find it hard to keep our eyes on Jesus and just get distracted. I understand that very well. When you look at the bill to be paid, you would want to wake up earlier than every other person.

To reduce stress and worry, Jhn 15:4 says, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” Your struggles in life would yield zero result without Jesus. Verse 7 says, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

Staying connected gives you life, Jhn 1:4 says, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” When you stay connected to Christ, you bear fruit, you will have eternal life and your desires would be released unto you. A bulb would remain useless until plugged into a power source. Your life would yield no result until you get and stay connected to Jesus.

To stay connected, always read your daily manual which is the word of God and fellowship with Him every time. Memorize one new verse of the Bible today and see how your day would go.

Father, help me to stay connected to You in Jesus Name. Amen!

YOUR MIRACLE IS ON THE WAY – 2

July 15, 2013

How many times have you said, “All I need now is just a miracle.” I have said that countless number of times. Sometimes we want magic but we call it miracle. Let me point it our pretty clear that God is not a magician; He is a miracle working God like some of us have thought and some of us still do.

Miracle is not a DHL parcel that you get while sitting down at home. Miracle is provoked. Most times when you ask God for a miracle, He gives you an instruction to follow. It becomes your choice whether to do as you have been told or not, which is where so many of us get frustrated thinking God is weak. Please if you do not know this before; let me tell you that GOD IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS.

The falling down of the wall of Jericho which we all talk about today was a big miracle, but let us not forget that before the wall fell down, something was done. They were asked to walk around the wall seven days in a row and seven times on Sunday. When wine ran out at the wedding in Cana, Galilee, Jesus’ mother told the servants around, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it, in order words, if you want to see a miracle today, you would have to follow his instruction.

Jesus said fill the waterpots with water. I am sure the servants were wondering, “C’mon man, we need wine not water,” but because they understood that obedience is the mother of miracle, they obeyed without complain and Jesus turned water to wine. Our miracles are tied to an act of obedience. Abraham obeyed and he became the father of many nations.

I pray that what to do to have that miracle parcel delivered to you, sweet Holy Spirit will reveal unto you in Jesus Name. Amen!

YOUR MIRACLE IS ON THE WAY

July 14, 2013

 A man of God once said that miracles pass us by every day. Jdg 6:13 “And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? And where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? But now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

Wikipedia defines miracle as an event nor ascribed to human power or the laws of nature and consequently attributed to a supernatural power. Water turning to wine was a miracle. Money in the mouth of a fish was a miracle. Raven been used to feed human was a miracle. Ninety year old Sarah giving birth to a baby was a miracle. A miracle is when one plus one equals one thousand.

God is still in the business of miracles. He is a miracle working God. It is not a miracle when a three year old talks, it is a miracle when a 3 day old talks. A miracle is what you cannot explain. The blind man said, once I was blind, now I can see. He could not tell how it happened. That’s what a miracle is.

A whole lot of people are wondering if truly miracles still exist. Some of us are like Gideon asking God when we are going to experience our own miracles. I am come to tell you that of a truth, miracles still happen; however, we all need to understand that miracles don’t just happen; they are provoked by the act of total cooperation with El-Shaddai.

All things are possible. Healing is coming your way. Mouth opening breakthrough is coming your way. Net breaking harvest is coming your way. Unquantifiable miracle is coming your way. Welcome to your season of ceaseless miracles. Welcome to the season where you begin to enjoy the miracle working God like no other in Jesus Name. Amen!

GOOD ENOUGH IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

July 13, 2013

 How many times have you heard “that’s good enough?” or how many times have you said “that’s not a bad one, its good enough.” Some of us including myself say it a lot, but I have come to realize that it’s a statement that limits. Joh 10:10 says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Jesus could have settled for feeding the multitude or being a priest in the temple. He could have even decided to just be a healer, but those were both things, but they did not cause Him to reach His ultimate purpose, the thing God created Him to do. They were not the best of him. He was purposed or sent to be the savior of the world not to feed a bunch of people or preach some earth moving sermons.

Good enough never stretches us to do anything more than we are doing right now, because this is good enough. Philippians 3:14 says, “I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” To anyone that has ever participated in any type of competition you know that everyone does not get the prize. You have to decide that you want it and train for it. You have to stretch and go a little further, do a little more.

You have let good enough to be good enough for long enough – Joel Osteen.

It’s not over until God says it is. Get your fire back on. It’s time to pack up and quit the wilderness of fear, mediocrity, procrastination, and littleness. Nations are on the inside of you.  Don’t settle for anything less of God’s best. You are God’s best and you deserve nothing short of the best and that you shall have in Jesus Name. Amen!

MIGHTY GOD

July 12, 2013

There is a story about passengers who were on a ship in a severe storm and in imminent danger of sinking. The passengers were whispering "Are we going down? Are we safe?" One passenger said, "I've got to find out," so he made his way topside across the heaving decks, to the pilot house, where the pilot of the ship had his hand firmly on the wheel. The pilot turned and saw the fear in the passenger's face and just smiled at him, not even speaking a word.

On arriving below the once fearful passenger exclaimed "We're going be all right. I've seen the face of the pilot, and he smiled at me."  What we need to do when we are crippled by fear caused by difficult circumstances is look away from the "stormy waves" and into the serene face of our Jesus, our MIGHTY GOD, the One Who is always mighty to save. We need to see the reassuring smile of our Savior Who alone is able to calm the storms simply by speaking these words to our heart - "Peace, be still!"

How difficult is your difficulty? How challenging are your challenges? The Name MIGHTY GOD begs the question - "Is anything too difficult for the LORD?" (Gen 18:14) Jeremiah 32:17 says, “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”

Ephesians 3:20 makes us know that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we may ask or think, according to the power that works in us.  This is one of the greatest and most powerful verses in the Bible as it is a verse of assurance that God is the only able God. He is the Almighty God. The one that parted the red sea; brought water from the rock; turned water to wine; calmed the raging storm and a whole lot He has done and can still do.

May the Almighty God prove Himself mighty in your situation and life in Jesus Name. Amen!

WHAT CAN YOU SEE?

July 11, 2013

I remember the time I used to fall sick and the doctor would always look into my eyes. I used to wonder what he was looking for because I wasn’t complaining of eye defect but of fever. I later realized that it is possible to know if a patient has enough blood in his system by mere looking into his/her eyes. Friends, the truth is this, if your eyes are not seeing well, your journey in life might not go well.

If all you see is sickness, poverty, lack, want, disappointment and all, and you expect to experience wealth, health, abundance and favor, then you must be joking. Your eyes determine how far you go in life. Gen 13:14-15 says, “And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.”

Until your spiritual eyes get renewed and empowered, it would be very difficult for you to enter into your promised land. The reason why some people are going from pillar to post without any headway in life is not because God has forsaken them, but rather because of what we have created out of our vision. Some of us see evil, scarcity, failure, destruction, miscarriage, poverty, joblessness, death and all sort of negative things and we have forgotten that what the eyes see, the mind brood over and that is what the spirit feeds on and in turn becomes what the life experiences.

You can go far in life, only if you can see it. You can make it only if you can see it. Until you can see the life you want to enjoy as against the life you are seeing, it would be pretty difficult to enjoy life the way God designed it to be.

THE TIDE WILL TURN

July 10, 2013

Standing on the windswept shores of Lake Michigan one wintry night, ready to throw himself into the freezing waters, a 32 year old bankrupt, dropout, wretched, tattered dressed happened to gaze up at the starry heavens. Suddenly he felt a rush of awe, and a thought flashed through his mind: “You have no right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to the Universe.”

R. Buckminster Fuller turned his back to the lake and began a remarkable career. Best known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, by the time of his death he held more than 170 patents and was world-famous as an engineer, mathematician, architect and poet.

The widow in the book of 1Kings 17 told the prophet that she was just about making her last meal for herself and her kid after which they would die. Things were rough and tough for them. Sometimes in life, things get so difficult and tough that one would wish the world should just come to an end. I do to tell people of how I wished my father had used one of his children for money rituals as a result of the poverty that we were in that time, but thank God he did not.

Listen to me; I don’t care what you are going through. Maybe you just spent your last penny? Maybe you are in a state of confusion as to where the next meal or breakthrough is coming from? Maybe things are tight for you? Maybe you are jobless and as a result, you are a burden unto your family and friends? Whatever your case is, I have come to tell you that the tide is turning in Jesus Name. Amen!

Your story will change. Your testimony will change. Your outlook is changing. Your life is changing. All things are becoming new and fresh. Your business is receiving new life. Your home is receiving new fire in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

COUNT IT ALL JOY

July 9, 2013

James 1:2-3 (ESV) says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” There is a difference between the happiness that is available for them in outside world and the joy that is made available for believers. Joy is an optimistic spirit in response to the events of life. James is saying count it all  joy (whether good or bad).

Let us get this clear that trials are inevitable. As a matter of fact, someone said that without a test, there can be no testimony. To make it clear that there would always be trials, the scripture did not say “if”, but “when”, in order words, it’s too certain. There would always be challenges and trials and downs and all. Business might not boom as expected; things might not turn out as expected; but we are commanded to count it all joy.

Brother Job could have remained sad for the rest of his life but he later realized that the joy of the Lord is even a source of strength. The joy of the Lord is the ability to rejoice in the storm. Trials come anyhow. Did David offend Saul before the king started haunting the young man’s life? NO! Also, David brought trial upon himself when committed murder.

James knew that there would be economic crisis; job cuts; marital issues; health issues; various challenges and all, so he quickly gave us the therapy which is joy. Phil 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord, always; and again I say, rejoice.” It is difficult to do, but with faith, all things are possible. Have it at the back of your mind that even in difficult times, God has a great plan for you. His thoughts (whether you are feeling good or not) is good and not evil. Problems come and go, count it all joy. Refuse to stay down else the devil compound issues, no matter what you are going through, count it all joy.

My prayer is that the grace to rejoice always be released on us all in Jesus Name. Amen!

PUSH YOURSELF

July 8, 2013

There is a story of a king who had a very beautiful daughter. Whenever the time came for the women from the royal families to be given out in marriage, as it was the tradition of the village, capable young men would compete, and the winner of the competition would be the king’s in-law.

In this particular case, the competition was for the interested men to walk across a small river where there were vicious and hungry looking crocodiles in there. Another dangerous thing about showing interest in marrying from the royal family was that once you decide to compete, there’s no going back until someone won.

Some of the men started crying, mothers started wailing knowing full well that their sons were doomed already. Suddenly, there was this young man that was seen jetting across the river over those crocodiles. The moment he got to the other side of the river, he looked back and fainted.

When he was brought back to life and asked, how he was able to do that. “I was waiting to see who would be the first to go, when someone suddenly pushed me,” was the man’s response. Don’t rule yourself out too quickly, push yourself. There is no limit to what you can achieve in life. The scripture says all things are possible.

You have so much power inside of you yet untapped, but you have to unleash them else they lie dormant. Don’t wait for others to set the records, set them. Be the standard for others.

You shall not live short of God’s plan for your life in Jesus Name. Amen!

ANGER DESTROYS

July 4, 2013

There is a story about a man polishing his new car when his 6 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions.......sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.The next day that man committed suicide.

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life. Scripture says anger lies in the bossom of fools. When we are angry; we utter some statements that we would later wish we had not uttered; some of us would do some things that we would forever live to regret.

I love the saying that don't take any decisiom when angry and never make a promise in your happiest moment. Have you ever sent an SMS or email in an angry mood, I am sure you would wish you never sent it. Moses didn't get to the promise land because of anger. I know its pretty difficult not to scream or bring the wall down out of anger, but always note that anger destroys, love builds.

I pray that anger will not destroy us in Jesus Name. Amen!

STAY FOCUSED

July 3, 2013

There is a story about a certain man that went against the law of the land and was meant to be killed. He however pleaded and the king agreed to pardon him only on one condition. The condition was that the man would walk fifty yards with a cup filled to the brim with water, and no drop of water must be seen.

When the day came, there were lot of people around. The moment this man started, people started cheering him, some booing him, while some were just indifferent. The next thing everyone knew was that this man walked fifty yards with a cup filled with water without a drop falling to the ground.

When asked, how he was able to achieve such with the noise and distraction from the crowd. He looked around surprised to see people and said, "I didn't even notice people were here. My ears were blocked to external voices and my eyes glued to the finish line."

The easiest thing on earth is to get distracted. In this age of technology where entertainment is now on the go, its very easy to forget the goal. Some of us have beautiful dreams and visions but the television is our main distraction. Some of us, the telephone is our greatest distraction.

Heb 12:2 says,"Looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Had Jesus get distracted by the noise of the crowd asking Him to save Himself, the purpose of His coming would have been forfeited.

What is your greatest distraction? Phone? Switch it off before your destiny gets switched off. Maybe yours is television. I tell people, only people with vision gets seen on the television. Work at distracting your distraction.

I pray that you shall fulfill destiny in Jesus Name. Amen!

WISDOM IS KEY

July 2, 2013

In the book of Mark 6:2, Jesus was teaching in the synagogue and all the people hearing him were astonished. They all started asking each other, "What wisdom is this?" In other words, how can someone be this wise? They just couldn't understand.

Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Years back, I used to think wisdom means knowledge, however, I have come to discover that wisdom is not knowledge!

Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge effectively to produce good results. Wisdom employs, or uses knowledge. Knowledge alone is just information we have gained that has not been put to any practical use. Knowledge is knowing you are entitled to a certain allowance in your office, wisdom is demanding for it.

Knowledge of the word of God without practical application is just sheer ignorance. The woman with the issue of blood knew if she touched the hem of Jesus' garment, she would be made whole, and she was wise enough to apply her wisdom. Prov 23:23 says one of the things to buy and never sell is wisdom.

We all know when we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly. Wisdom is refusing to sow sparingly so as to reap bountifully. Lastly, it is worthy of note that information without application will lead to frustration.

My prayer is that the spirit of wisdom would rest upon you every day of your life in Jesus Name. Amen!

IT’S YOU

July 1, 2013

On a certain Monday, one GM brought a coffin to the office. On seeing the coffin, everyone in the office started panicking. The GM quickly informed them that it was good news he brought. He asked the secretary to get everybody to the conference room.

Minutes later, he addressed the members of staff. "In this coffin is the corpse of the man that has been making our sales drop, our reputation dented and our brand bad. Each one of you would walk round the coffin to just to see the person, after which we shall all agree on what to do to the man."

They all walked round the coffin to see the enemy of the company but they were all amazed and surprised to see their own reflection. In other words, the GM did put a mirror in the coffin. At the end of the procession, he said, "We are all enemies of this company as long as we don't do our jobs well."

Sometimes in life, we tend to imagine the source of our problem as one enemy of ours but I have come to see that most times, we are our own problem. We don't pay tithe regularly or accurately. We don't give as we are instructed to do so. We disobey God. We hardly give to the needy. We are perpetual askers and occassional thankers.

Stop hindering your own progress, signs and wonders are your portion but you must do the needful. Be thankful, prayerful and a cheerful giver and I know that your latter shall be far greater and better than your former in Jesus Name. Amen!

BLESSED BEYOND CURSE

June 30, 2013

Num 23:8 says, “How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?” 

There was no price high enough to procure a curse upon the people that God had blessed. How much more, we that are His children under a new and better covenant sealed with His blood?

Today I am here to tell someone that has the blood of Jesus flowing inside of him that you have an irreversible blessing. He’s commanded it and no one can turn it back! God has blessed you with all heavenly blessings and there is no man on earth who can curse you!

You are too blessed to be cursed. You are too loaded to be hindered. You are too big to be stopped. Num 23:23 says, "There is no sorcery against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel."

Proverbs 26:2 says a curse causeless shall not alight. When someone curses you without cause, do not be afraid or moved. In fact pray for the person because God’s word says, “Blessed is he who blesses you. And cursed is he who curses you.”

It is worthy of note however, that to be blessed beyond curse is a product of a relationship with Jesus Christ. A life without Jesus does not have protection against any curse.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

The truth about life is that the level of your influence is a product of the level of your knowledge. Like I always say, what you don't know belongs to you, you end up borrowing it.

Isa 5:13 says, "Therefore My people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowlege." I love the way Prophet Hosea put it in Hosea 4:6 that, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

The Bible says "Thou shall know the truth and the truth will make you free." In order words, until you know the truth, you remain in bondage. Until you are introduced to the truth of the word that prosperity is your heritage, you will never be able to break free from poverty.

Knowledge indeed is power. If you know your right, you will live right. Healing is your birthright. Prosperity is your heritage. Favor is your portion. Power has been given unto you. Until you fully understand this, you remain a powerless Christian and an object of ridicule in the hands of the devil.

Don't live short of the glorious life God has prepared for you. The best way to know is to study the word of God. Joshua 1:8 says when you study, you become prosperous because your eyes get opened and your mind receives illuminatio.

I pray that the power of the word of God will be evident in your life in Jesus Name. Amen!

YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE

June 28, 2013

 Have you ever been on a queue so long that you wondered when it was going to be your turn, or maybe you have been waiting for something for such a very long period of time and it seems that thing might not surface? If you have ever felt like that, then welcome to the club, you are not alone.

Sometimes we get so tired of queuing that we just decide to leave and come back some other time. However, I have had the opportunity to witness not once or twice where someone behind me on a queue would get called to be attended to – in order words, the queue would be jumped.

Others on the queue would want to make a fuss about this but then; there would be absolutely nothing anyone can do. A friend of mine would call it the protocol breaking act. Sometimes, you are such in a rush but because there is nothing you can do, you just have to queue up. When Jesus got to the pool where sick people were waiting for the water to be troubled, He jumped whatever queue they had on ground because of that paralytic man.

Shirley Caesar sang a song, “You are next in line for a miracle.” That’s what I have come to tell you this day that; you are next in line for a miracle, your breakthrough is next; your testimony is the next to shake your community and bring souls to the kingdom of God. Forget about how long the queue might look; my friend, you are next in line.

God can do anything at any time. However, you must be prepared always.

The same God that jumped protocol because of David when He refused to choose by age or height would because of you, jump millions to attend to your case in Jesus Name. Amen!

HELP IS ON THE WAY

June 27, 2013

Have you ever felt helpless and almost captured? Have you ever found yourself in any situation where help seems to have gone on an indefinite leave of absence? All the ways you think you know to get out of that mess now look like a no way. The people you think you know and can help are now acting like total strangers?

Maybe you feel the entire world is crashing down on you and you almost doubt the existence of the Almighty God. You feel your hopes, dreams, aspirations; goals have all been shut down? You are surrounded and the enemy seems to be closing in on you? You are thinking or either to switch away from God or commit suicide?

I have got good news for you; look up because help is on the way. The reason why we feel disappointed is because of where we look to when help is needed. Psa 121:1-2 says, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”

The person you are looking at is even looking unto God, so why not look unto God yourself? When Moses was cornered at the red sea, he did not call for the army, he called on God. When Joshua went up against the city, he did not use grenade, he called on God. When you look unto man, you will wear shame as perfume– I am a living witness! Psa 34:5 says, “They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.”

My brothers and sisters, don’t give up on God, just hold on for a while, help is almost here. Don’t be discouraged, help is on the way. God is working on your case. He has not forgotten you. He can never forsake you. Help is coming for you.

I decree by the power of the Holy Ghost that you shall receive timely help in Jesus Name. Amen!
