LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF PSALM 112:8




"His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies."




10 KEYS TO AN ESTABLISHED HEART .




1.Love for God - Let you love for God be so real. Why? When your love for Him lives on the inside not outside . you find it easier to trust Him more and more without a struggle .And the more your love for God the more your heart becomes established . 1 John 4:18(NIV)"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
2.Love your neighbour as yourself - the key here is this - your heart can never become established , when you think evil towards your neighbour with it. But when you have a genuine love for your neighbour , God comes to dwell in that heart and wherever God is peace and joy will always spring forth from that kind of heart .No matter the challenge , that joy cannot be stolen , because true love remember no wrongs. 1 Cor 13.(Msg)"Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,Doesn’t revel when others grovel,"
3.your heart cannot become truly established without feeding it with the word of God night and day .why? Simple ...the more you feed it with the word the more your heart takes the shape of the word and become like Him from the inside ..Matt 12:34b(NIV)"For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.". Naturally ,when the heart is full of the word , that is what will come out at all times , no matter the situation. Amen.
4.The power of forgiveness - Jesus deep in pain asked the lord to forgive them (Luke 23:34) , stephen deep in pain asked the lord to forgive them.(Acts 7:60). An established heart will always find it easy to forgive . Why ? A broken heart no longer sees himself in the picture but Jesus . Gal 2:20(NLT)"My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
5.Grace - God cannot work in your heart , when you are busy trying to work it yourself .believe only and let Him do His job .we all received the Holy Spirit not by what we did (works) but by grace. And grace comes to strenghten and establish our hearts in Him .Heb 13:9(NLT)"Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so."
6.Peace - what strenghens your heart in the midst of the storms and challenges of life is the peace of God. Despite it all ,you delibrately choose to hold your peace in Christ .What it does is it re-enforces and settles his promises in your heart .(Heb 13:5b) So the more you choose to hold your peace the more your heart becomes established in Him . (A heart that does not easily waver).John 16:33 (NIV)"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
7.Total obedience - Some people say total obedience is not possible. lol. It is possible when you are in love with Him. Is not you saying you won't do it, but the Spirit in you that won't just allow you to do it .The more you obey Christ the more your heart becomes established in Him. John 14:23"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
8.The power of persistence -persistent praying , persistent giving , persistent sowing , persistent evangelism and more all work to produce an established heart . (no wavering )Luke 11:9(Amp)"So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you."
9.A heart that just refuses to doubt God ,would definitely become established . Why? The word has taken permanent residence in his heart . no doubts any more .Paul said I know whom I have believed.2 Timothy 1:12"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
10.Joy - A heart that is always full of joy , is a heart that dwells in His presence and a heart that dwells in His presence is a heart that will always bring forth the fruits of an established heart .love , peace , joy , faith , goodness .etc. Gal 5:22(NLT)"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,."




I pray for you in Jesus name , may the lord bless you with an established heart in Jesus name , Amen.



you are blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 2 COR 4:17 (Amp)



"For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!],"


10 KEYS THAT WILL HELP YOU TO KNOW "THIS AFFLICTION" IS ONLY FOR A MOMENT.



1..your faith in Christ -Faith grows , is never static .Know this  key , the more your faith grows the more
convinced you are that this affliction will end .But this is the secret , you have to be willing to endure the process .Isaiah 28:10 (NLT)"He tells us everything over and over--one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!"
2.Knowledge- My people perish for lack of knowledge not the "issue" . your knowledge of how to use the weapons of the word of God to unlock the mystery behind the affliction . What you need to do spiritually to solve the earthly problem .Knowledge according to scripture brings deliverance (Prov 11:9b "but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.) .So the more knowledge of scripture you have with the right understanding , the more convinced you become , that it will end . so the key is don't get discouraged , keep at it and keep knowing , when it is the set time , you would be amazed how it will disappear or give way . Amen.1 Tim 4:16 "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee."
3. Study and deep meditation - Take time off your busy schedule , to sit with God . staying even one hour won't work it , depends on the severity of your issue . spend I mean quality time . relax in His presence , let Him talk to you like a father . Note and write down scripture He quickens in your spirit , meditate on them with joy . The deeper you go , the more assurance you get and know God is not a liar . It will surely come to an end . Amen. Deu 4:7 (Amp)"For what great nation is there who has a god so near to them as the Lord our God is to us in all things for which we call upon Him?"
4.your "issue" is only waiting for you to grow spiritually , so you can command it and it will simply obey you .psalm 18:44 "As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me."
5. Remember what Jesus said to peter in the book Matt 14:31(NIV)"Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" peter doubted because his faith was still small . Learn from this story , anytime , you are in doubt if your issue is going to end , rather than get discouraged about it , simply tell yourself "I need to work on my faith " to match this situation at hand " Mark 11:23""Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
6.Jer 1:11 says what seest thou" .God is more interested in what you are seeing in the midst of your storm and not the very storm itself . What are you seeing ? Now ,here is the key , don't be discouraged now , but see it this way , the more matured you become spiritually , the more you are able to discern sharply and see the end of that thing . Children struggle with what they see , eagles don't . There is a difference . Keep working on what you see .Mark 8:24,25(Amp)"And he looked up and said, I see people, but [they look] like trees, walking.Then He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently [that is, fixed his eyes on definite objects], and he was restored and saw everything distinctly [even what was at a distance].
7.Learn this key - the situation never changes , you do . Is like a child , when he is still young he cannot change your flat tyre in your car , but when he is grown , he can do it with even one hand and be talking to daddy . So it is spiritually. Things that use to be a problem is no longer a problem , because you have grown to meet that challenge in your life spiritually . you can easily give a command and it will obey you .Matt 17:20(NIV)"He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
8.The deeper the prayer , the deeper the conviction about its end . That was the reason Elijah never gave up , when he heard the sound of rain , he was convinced in his spirit that it was coming .so what did he do ? key "he persisted" . persist in prayer and don't relent . It works !Luke 18:1(Amp)" Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up)." For in the place of prayer ,revelation comes of its end !Amen.
8.Divine utterance from the Man of God - now this is the secret here - we all say most times , "but I have being receiving it all these years , but the situation still remains the same" .lol. no , no , no .here is the key - don't give up , everything is a seed. keep sowing your seed of faith and keep receiving with expectation of its manifestation in your life . Listen when your cloud of faith is full , your rain of blessing will come down all of a sudden beyond your wildest imagination . 1 Kings 18:45 (Msg)"Things happened fast. The sky grew black with wind-driven clouds, and then a huge cloudburst of rain, with Ahab hightailing it in his chariot for Jezreel."
9.God renews his promises everyday in our heart . So as long as you enter into a new day . Is another day of hope and expectation . That this is going to be the day this matter will end . so you enter the new day with hope and expectation . For God promised it will be "today".Heb 4:7(Msg)" God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today, just as he did in David’s psalm, centuries later than the original invitation:Today, please listen, don’t turn a deaf ear . . ."
10. Finally - this one will convince you .He took an oath with himself to deliver you .Heb 6:18 (Amp)"This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us]."


I pray for you , you will surely see the end of that problem before the end of this year in Jesus name , amen,


you are blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS 6:12 (AMP)


"For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere."


10 KEYS WHEN YOU ARE LIVING IN A DEMONIC INFESTED ENVIRONMENT .

1.The devil's agents -Are everywhere , running away without knowing what to do, is am attempt in futility. Key- They don't need to know you , you don't need to know them . once they identify you spiritually as a child of God , you become their major assignment for destruction .The key to living amongst them is simple .you never attack them physically or allow them to provoke you. Always be one step ahead . Key- into what Jesus said in scripture Matt 10:16(Amp)"Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves." See where you are in as a training ground in preparing for where the Lord is taking you to and stop the fretting . Hold your peace and do your battle in your closet ."hard" .Matt 6:6
2.Listen , is no big deal . They will surely attack you fiercely. But let the truth (word) you know be your shield and buckler (psalm 91:4).Now learn the key why you are being attacked fiercely . An enemy that knows he is about to die , what do you think would be his reaction ? will fight for his life .Key- When it happens , you are getting close to something big , don't give up praying now . pray harder and more fiercely , using the sword of the spirit , which is the word to fight.(Eph 6:17) . Learn what Jesus did , when the battle grew worse. Luke 22:44 (Amp) " And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground."
3.See the other side of the story , so you won't get easily discouraged .1. The more the attacks , the more your faith grows in it (2 Cor 4:16) .2 . If it is not working for your good God will not allow it .3. After the storm comes the testimony , not before . Luke 21:13 (kjv) 4. you re being trained on how to fight spiritually (psalm 18:34) . if you can deal with five demons , you can deal with ten and more when you are properly trained . so see it as a training ground and deal with them using the word in prayer . Heb 12:11(Msg)"God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children."
4.I would encourage you to use your anointing oil ,it works , especially if the area is heavily infested. Ask your pastor to pray over it and believe and use it by faith . The attacks might increase , because of the effect , but you are winning . Don't be discouraged. Use it before you go out and before you sleep too. The key is the word and what you believe will always work for you by faith . Amen. Matt 9:29(NLT)"Then he touched their eyes and said, "Because of your faith, it will happen."
5.Fervent prayers is good , but fervent prayers without a good knowledge of the word is not good . When you come into His presence , there is a need to remind Him again of what He has said concerning the devil and all his demons . Example- father your word says the arm (powers) of the wicked shall be broken (psalm 37:17), father your word says in the book of psalm 58:10 I shall rejoice when I see your vengeance . Lord avenge now in the name of Jesus "amen. and you do on an on , reminding him of scriptures Isaiah 62:6 (Amp)"I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, who will never hold their peace day or night; you who [are His servants and by your prayers] put the Lord in remembrance [of His promises], keep not silence,"
6.Keep your praise on - In spiritual warfare , you use everything to fight , prayers , praise , confession , speaking in tongues etc. When the battle seems to be getting tough in prayers , you switch to praises . Prayers- angels go to work . Praise -God goes to work . Psalm 67:5-7 "Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him."
7.The blood of Jesus - from personal experience in war fares , the blood has potential powers of destroying the powers of darkness heavily . demons don't like the blood of Jesus . That was what threw their Master out of heaven the blood of the lamb . so always plead the blood over your self , family and home . Rev 12:11. (NLT)" And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die." Even when the attack increases , you are winning , continue .
8.Avoid sin as much as possible , you cannot defeat the enemy in their own play ground . Eccl 10:8b"and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him."
9.Fasting- Is a very strong weapon to use . see more details from the book of Isaiah 58:6" Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"
10.And finally , never let go of that joy - If there is any weapon I know Satan does not have an anti-dote to, is the force of joy . How do you attack a man who is always joyful? Even if you attack him fiercely , you still see him beaming with a bright smile joyfully , thanking the lord . Amennn How do you....."hmmm" lol . John 15:11(NLT)" have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!

I pray for you , the lord will give you the grace to finish well in Jesus name , Amen.



you are blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MARK 4 :29


"But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."



10 KEYS IN YOUR TIME OF HARVEST .


1. Joy is a master key. Never let go of your joy . Is the key that connects you to your harvest . Why? Because when the Master comes , he expects to meet you joyfully expectant . Phil 4:4 (NLT)"Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!"
2.Love - At this time of your harvest , your faith needs to be in top form and love is the lubricant that oils your faith for effective delivery of your expected harvest .1 cor 13:13b (Amp)"love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love."
3.Worship - Lock unto His presence in worship and praise . Adore Him , appreciate Him and just sink in His love . John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
4.Generousity - At this time of your expected harvest , be more generous with your giving . Why? Key - Luke 6:38 (Msg) "Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.”
5.Unwavering faith - Let your faith be hardened and unwavering now .you cannot afford to start doubting again in your season of harvest . Zech 8:13 (Amp)" And as you have been a curse and a byword among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong and hardened." notice the two keys "hardened and strong faith will bring in your deliverance / harvest .
6. Keep doing what is right , even if you suffer for it , let it not discourage you , instead take it even a step higher with your faith . 1 Peter 3:13,14 (NLT)"Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats."
7.Speak what you believe is about to happen in your life . Faith talks , so don't be silent now , speak what you are expecting with all audacity and boldness to the hearing of the devil . Amen. Scripture says we believe and we what ? speak . Amen . you will see that testimony "live" as you speak it in Jesus name , Amen. 2 Cor 4:13 (NIV)"It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak,".
8.Continue earnestly in prayers with rejoicing . Roms 12:12(NIV)"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
9.At this time , always act fast , be prompt with your tithes , offerings , and any other project obligations. 2 Cor 9:7b (Amp) "and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]."
10.You can't miss out on the prophet's reward , sow into your pastor's life , like your own life , until he releases that deep word from his spirit . you will know the day he says it . it will come deep from within. Matt 10:41 " He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward"; Gen 27:4 "And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die."



Bonus point - Add fasting to boost your faith , if you find your flesh too weak at this time . Isaiah 40:31


I pray for you now in the name of Jesus , you will never miss your harvest I decree in Jesus name , Amen.


Be blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JOB 14:14 

"If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come."


10 SEASONS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTED TIME .


1.Seasons of coaching - Hmm, this one requires your patience . If not you will miss it and even find yourself struggling with this particular season . Why? you feel time is running out , but God is saying ,be patient , you still need to be trained in some areas you are still not perfect yet . lol..."every time I think I am done , He says there is still this area of my life , He wants to touch and get right " wow ..Ok sir ! I wait .Isaiah 28:10(NLT)"He tells us everything over and over--one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!"
2.Seasons of trials and temptations - It comes to check our level of self control .ie- anger , offence , bitterness , lust , resistance etc. but I found all of these seasons we go through rather than bring us down , pushes our faith up and helps us to trust Him the more . Amen. James 1:12(NLT)"God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."
3.Seasons of Isolation - It helps us to rely on Him and not to focus more on our friends and people we thought would have been a help to us in this season .But when we go through this season of our lives ,I experienced He is always with us strongly , even when we don't sense His presence around us . He is there !! Always. Heb 13:5b"for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
4.Seasons of weariness - I have come to realise in this season , whenever we come into it ,is a good sign , we have gone very far in getting close to our appointed time . So the key to this season , if you would permit me to advice is , you rather than get discouraged , celebrate , because your are simply drawing close to your miracle . Just a little more effort and you would be home and dry .Lam 3:30,31(Msg)"The “worst” is never the worst. Why? Because the Master won’t ever walk out and fail to return."
5.Seasons of deep prayers - The longer the wait , the deep your prayers become . Now here is the key that will encourage you ..your prayers are not at all in vain , but what has being happening in the realms is , you have being loading your cloud of blessings with deep prayers and when it is full at (the appointed time) get ready for the mega rain. Elijah heard the sound of rain and rather than give up at that point , he prayed even more earnestly loading the cloud with deep prayers and what happened? . 1 Kings 18:45(ESV)"And in a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel."
6.Seasons of sowing - In this season I found out , you would sow and sow and sow , amen. And it looks like nothing is coming forth . wow , don't give up , keep sowing , sow your time , sow your service , money , keep sowing , you are simply piling up your blessings for your day of harvest that is sure to come .Amen. Heb 10:36( Amp)"For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised."
7.Seasons of bible study - In seeking for the truth , there is this drive , because you seek your total freedom from the pain or situation you re passing through , the search begins for a way out .Now here is one of the reasons for this search , the deeper the study , the deeper the revelational knowledge that comes with it and with that knowledge you are armed and prepared , even to face those that will not take delight in you , when you come into your blessings or appointed day of harvest . The knowledge you have renews your strength in preparation for that day . Amen. Isaiah 40:31"But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."
8.Seasons of shame and mockery - lol, gone through this season, so many times , that I can confidently tell you , it is only preparing you for your appointed day . What it does is , looking at it with God's eye .1 helps your faith to become strong .2 . Keeps you humble before your God , as you focus on him to save you .3.it smoothens your character . So enjoy the ride and fret not about it .lol. Amen. love you . Zech 8:13(Amp)" And as you have been a curse and a byword among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong and hardened."
9.Seasons of Endurance - wow , the more you endure , the more humble and meek you become . Things that use to bother you and cause you to fret , don't happen any more because of your level of endurance . Rather than fret , you just laugh and trust God to do it as always . 1 Peter 5:7(ISV)"Throw all your worry on him, because he cares for you. "
10.Seasons of joy - In preparing you for your appointed day . joy is a vital key to your harvest .you cannot afford your joy in Him to die , so everyday despite the odds working against you , you maintain your joy , because of your expectation of your coming harvest (appointed day ).So no matter the pain and shame , you keep that joy alive , because that is where he is going to meet with you on your  day . Isaiah 64:5a"Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways:"



PRAYER :Father let me not miss my appointed day with you in Jesus name , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF HEBREWS 12:2a (Amp) Re- post



"Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]."



10 KEYS - THAT WILL HELP YOUR FAITH TO GROW INTO THE LEVEL OF MATURITY .



1. Seasons of spiritual warfare - the more we engage in spiritual warfare , the more our faith is built up . At times we get weary , but we never lose hope .Why? It is all working for our good . building and developing our faith into the level of maturity were we command and we don't doubt a word of what we say . Mark 11:23(NIV)""Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
2.Trials and temptations- The more we overcome , the more our faith is built up to face the next challenge and for every challenge we overcome the stronger our faith gets. So never allow what you are facing to discourage you , you are only growing in the "dark" for your day of manifestation . Psalm 112:4"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."
3.Prayer - the more you pray , the more you grow in faith , the more you grow in faith , the better you become in the place of prayer . James 5:17(NIV)"Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years"
4.Fasting - we all know is a key that develops our faith muscles. so we engage in it for our faith to match with the challenges of the day . Isaiah 40:31"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."
5.Speaking in tongues - Is a miracle . It works wonders , if you can engage in it everyday .Key -your faith is built quickly and it also quickens the mind of God in your spirit. Jude 20(Amp)" But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;"
6. Sacrificial giving - Can only happen by faith , you can't do it in your flesh , that is why it is a sacrifice. The more you engage in it , the more your faith grows to that level of maturity.  David said in scripture he would not give to God that which will not cost him anything . "sacrifice"2 sam 24:24(NIV)"But the king replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing . So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them."
7.Sacrificial praise and thanksgiving - will always cause your faith to grow faster . Why? obeying God when you are still facing your storm , makes your praise a sacrifice to him. Heb 13:15(NLT)Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.
8.Humility - Keeps your faith alive .it kills the pride in you and brings grace which enables your faith to grow . Simply put -1 peter 5:5"and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble."
9.Persistent faith - helps your faith to grow faster into the level maturity . Why? the more you exercise your faith with persistence the more it grows. Luke 18:1-8 says it better , if you would care to read the full story but see what verse 8 (Amp) says "I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?".
10.And finally someone said the faith that has not been tested cannot be trusted. the test only comes to sharpen your faith , so it can grow well under the fire . 1 peter1:7 (NLT)"These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."



PRAYER: Father help my faith to grow now in the mighty name of Jesus , I pray . Amen.



you re blessed!

10 Keys about this scripture +1


1.The key to receiving is "believing" . Job believed that his change will come and it did. Amen. job 42:10 (Amp)"And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before."
2.Despite all the odds , hope against hope , he believed his change was coming, it did. This is the key - if it happened for job , then your case cannot be a hopeless one , it will happen to you too in Jesus name , Amen. Do not doubt , but believe it . John 20:29(Amp)"Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me."
3.Many a time , we allow our circumstances to discourage us. But not the man Job , he held on to God's word and the Lord helped him as he promised in Isaiah 41:10 (Amp)"Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice."
4.Despite the reproach . Job did not allow his faith in God to waiver .Job 2:9-10 (Amp)"Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your blameless uprightness? Renounce God and die!
 But he said to her, You speak as one of the impious and foolish women would speak. What? Shall we accept [only] good at the hand of God and shall we not accept [also] misfortune and what is of a bad nature? In [spite of] all this, Job did not sin with his lips."
5.In the midst of his crises , he spoke positively and God honoured his word. Isaiah 44:26 (Amp)"[The Lord] Who confirms the word of His servant and performs the counsel of His messengers, Who says of Jerusalem, She shall [again] be inhabited, and of the cities of Judah, They shall [again] be built, and I will raise up their ruins,".
6.Job's knowledge of God's word , brought his deliverance . Dan 11:32b "but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." It was the "knowing" that brought about Job's deliverance. This is the key - find out the truth in God's word concerning you .
7.Job remembered how God has been good to him in the past and he held on to his faithfulness. It worked! It will work for you in Jesus name ,Amen.   Job 29:5-7 "When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!"
8.His circumstances could not change God's appointed time for his life. Isaiah 60:22 (Amp)The least one shall become a thousand [a clan], and the small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its [appointed] time." NOTE!
9.When God's appointed time comes nothing can stand on the way . I share my testimony with you just to illustrate what I mean , I have been in ministry for 14 years by His grace , many of my friends whom I entered the ministry with ,some of them are already Zonal pastors, some area pastors. Here I was not even a "parish pastor" "lol" Amen. But I wasn't moved ,because I knew God had His own "Agenda". When it was time for me to be "officially" ordained a Minister in my Church , I observed mysteriously that despite all the odds that was coming my way from different directions , doors just kept opening , help was just coming from everywhere and I was ordained. That was when it "done" on me that truly there is " An Appointed time". It was as if I was seeing angels all over the place, working and seeing to it , that I got all the clearance I needed for my ordination . Is a day I believe , the lord has commanded for your heavens to open in any area you have been waiting upon Him for . Amen. psalm 105:19(NASB)"Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him."
10.Job had persistent faith . Luke 18:8 (Amp)" I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?" Keep asking , keep believing and keep knocking . Amen.
11.Finally Job understood Luke 21:19 "In your patience possess ye your souls.". Patience will take you to your palace .



PRAYER : Father let me not give up until my change has come in Jesus name , Amen.



BE BLESSED!
