LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK 2 KINGS 6:17


"And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”


10 KEYS THE POWER OF SEEING 


1. If you cannot see it , God cannot confirm it . Isaiah 44:26 "That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:”
2 . If you cannot see it , it can be delayed . Why? God will always have you to see it , so He can perform it . Jer 1:11,12 "The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see the branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.”
3. If you cannot see it , you will doubt if God can do it . Jer 32:27 (Amp) “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me? ”
4. Your physical eyes is not the same thing as your spiritual eyes , there is a difference. 2 Cor 4:18 (Amp)" So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.”
5. Once you can see it , it becomes automatically yours if you can believe it . John 11:40 (NIV)"Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
6. What you see is faith , what your physical eyes see is the facts . Now what is faith ? Heb 11:1 (NLT)"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." What your spiritual eyes sees is far stronger than what your physical eyes is seeing .
7. God will never show you , what He cannot do .No matter how impossible to you it is .Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible.” 
8. When God shows you a thing , He only wants you to receive what is already done. What does it mean , when God says it is done ? It means you shall behold the manifestation of what has being spoken . Rev 21:6 "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”
9. Revelation comes through knowledge in God's word and once we catch this revelation we are able to see hidden mysteries and secrets of what God is doing . So what revelation are you catching in His word ? Remember scripture - Matt 13:16 (NIV)"But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.” 
10. What you see can only become a testimony when you appreciate God for it . Ten 1epers  were healed , only one was made "whole" because he returned back to give God thanks . Luke 17:17 (Amp)"17 Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten [of you] cleansed? Where are the [other] nine? Was there no one found to return and to give thanks and praise to God, except this foreigner?” 

Personal quote:

" What you see is as real  as seeing it ,with your physical senses"

Prayer: Father empower my eyes to see in Jesus name , Amen. 


You re favored!!



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 - WHY YOUR 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!" God will never show you the entire picture in a day. But is a step by step procedure towards the end. Amen.
2. Knowledge- My people perish for lack of knowledge not the "issue" . your knowledge of how to use the weapons in the word  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 with 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 scriptures 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 up 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."Now here is the key , the strangers ( demons of poverty , lust , lack , doubt , fear ,unbelief , witchcraft etc) they will only submit when they see you have the authority , Authority does not just come in a day , it is a process and that process requires training yourself in the word .1 Tim 4:8b scripture says "and exercise thyself rather unto godliness" .
 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." Now here is the mystery - If your faith can match that "demand" no matter what that mountain is , your faith can move it for you .
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].He was not discouraged with the first attempt he made ,never be discouraged with your first attempt , but look more intently again and you shall see it rightly as God has positioned it for you in Jesus name , Amen.
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 when you become spiritually matured 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.
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 day is going to be the day this "matter/issue" 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 on 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].”

BONUS : 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 winddriven clouds, and then a huge cloudburst of rain, with Ahab hightailing it in his chariot for Jezreel.

Personal quote:

"when it gets worse it is a sign heaven has announced your victory"



 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 ROMANS 8:28 (NASV)


"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”




10 SECRETS WHY IT IS WORKING FOR YOUR GOOD




1. Faith - Faith grows better in adversity. When we put our faith in God to change the evil/challenge in our lives into a testimony, our faith is growing in that situation , though we might not see any changes initially , but listen , it is growing ,so keep watering with prayers and praises to Him. Now here is the key - When your faith has grown to match that need or demand it activates the power in 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.". Psalm 18:44" As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me." the strangers (whatever is not of God in your life , anything not giving God glory) that is when they will hear and obey . Why? It is coming with authority ( strong believe) .Luke 10:19 (NIV)" I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
2. Patience - Roms 15:5 " Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:" He is a God of patience . If you are in a rush to get out , you will miss whatever He is trying to show and teach you in that situation you are facing .Patience says one thing -"we follow Him" .Besides you can't be different from your father .why? you have being wired to be like Him. Eph 5:1 (Amp)"Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].”
3. Fear of God - Ask Joseph and he will tell you his story from the book of Gen 41:52(NIV)" The second son he named Ephraim and said, "It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."..He learnt to fear God in the land of his pain .For thirteen years (13 years) he was thought the fear of God . David learnt the same thing , from the book of Psalm 119:71 (NIV)".It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees."..It is in your pain you learn the fear of God more . Jesus our master learnt obedience in His sufferings not in his victory . Heb 5:8 (NLT)"Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.”
4. Confidence - your confidence in God is growing in that situation , don't be deceived . It is growing ! Bible says in Prov 14:26"In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge." . There is this saying in my country " that the more you beat a child the more stubborn he gets" Now see it this way ..the more the problem persist , the more confident you become in Him , that it will change . Amen .Now the good news is this you shall be adequately compensated for all your shame and pain you went through for His name sake "Jesus" .Heb 10:35"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”
5. Love - Is a powerful weapon that God uses to work for our good in the dark. It is in the dark you learn how to forgive those who hurt you . It is in the dark you learn how to do good to those that just hate you .It is in the dark you learn how not to hurt people . love protects and does not destroys .Matt 5:47(NLT)"If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.”
6. Joy - you never learn how to be joyful in victory , but in the dark . When things seems unpleasant , that is when your joy grows until it becomes fruitful (evident for all to see ) that it has to be God .Key- He comes when you are joyful , is a key to changing that situation ,it.is faith at work . Isaiah 64:5a "Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: “
7. Forgiveness - The grace to forgive comes in the dark . We all have been hurt at one point or the other ,by people close to us , family members ,friends , colleagues etc, but again we learn the act of forgiveness in our pain and trials . The more we seek Him for a change , He quickens in our spirit to forgive all who hurt us. I put it this way , the more we seek Him for a change , the softer our hardened heart becomes. Ezekiel 36:26 (NLT)"And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.”
8. Trust - your trust in God grows better in the dark , than in victory ,because then it is a battle of faith (yet to happen) .And God greatest desire is that we "TRUST HIM" . He understands when you battle with it . Jesus our Master cried on the cross too (Matt 27:46 ) but God was still with Him even in the dark. Listen here is the key - If God is with you, you will surely come out of it victorious . Believe it ! 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.”
9. Tithes and Offering - lol- Many believers don't believe in tithing or paying tithes to God . But hear this one - When things become tight , you learn how to tithe . Why? If nothing seems to be working anymore , in your search for a solution , you are then forced  to see if truly it works (tithing and giving of offering) .These principles we learn in our dark situations in life . Heb 7:8(NIV)"In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.”
 10. Prayer - The more the problem persists , the deeper and effective your prayer life gets . Why? you are eager to see results in your life . That was why Elijah when his servant said he did not see any rain , he did not give up in the "dark" rather he persisted the more in prayers and got his victory . 1 Kings 18:43 ,45 (Amp)"And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, There is nothing. Elijah said, Go again seven times." "45 In a little while, the heavens were black with wind-swept clouds, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went to Jezreel.”


BONUS :

 11. Spending time with Him - It is in the dark you "learn" to spend more time with Jesus . Why? you are in search for a solution. I share my testimony with you - I spend almost the whole day in His presence learning and getting deep insights into things .I only go out for little business , when I need to . I learnt spending hours with Him in the dark . I don't think I would have learnt it in victory . 2 Tim 2:15 (NLT)"Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” 12. Sowing and Reaping -Psalm 126:5(Amp)" They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing."It is in the dark "our challenges of life " we learn how to sow in tears, pray deep prayers in tears , give what we love to keep to God in tears , study the word with deep intensity all in the dark until our joy comes in the morning . Psalm 30 :5 (NASB)" Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

Personal quote:

" Never give up on your expectations , it works with God "



 Prayer : Father help me to know it is all working for my good , that I might sing for joy in the name of Jesus , Amen. You will testify !Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JAMES 1:4



"But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."


10 KEYS THE POWER OF PATIENCE




1. Patience perfects our faith .How? faith does not grow over night. Is not a micro -wave process .It takes time . Isaiah 28:10(ESV)"For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.” .
2.God uses patience to build us up , not as babes but as son's of God .Heb 5:14 (Msg)"Milk is for beginners, inexperienced in God’s ways; solid food is for the mature, who have some practice in telling right from wrong."
3.Patience is hard work , but in the process of time , we become fully persuaded about the truth in God's word. Roms 4:21 (NIV)"being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."
 4.God uses patience to reveal to us our true character .psalm 105:19 (NLT)"Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph's character.
5.The more you go around a particular mountain , the more tired you become and you begin to drop those old/bad habits. Job made a covenant with his eyes , not because he wanted to, but because he got tired of going round that particular mountain .Job 31:1(NIV)"I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman"
6.Patience will always expose the hidden enemy around you.Luke 8:17 (NIV)"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open."
7.God desires for us to become like him in character.So patience is simply one of the tools he uses . Roms 15:5"Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be unanimous among yourselves according to Christ Jesus,"
8.Patience is another method of spiritual warfare.After you have prayed to God , be patient and stand firm. James 5:8(NIV)"You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near."
9.God uses patience to show us the way of escape .1 cor 10:13 (NIV)"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
10. There are certain deep truths , you will never understand , except you are patient .Roms 5:3-4 "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:"


personal quote:

"patience is like a man who has seen gold and goes about it with patience"




PRAYER : Father teach me how to become patient in Jesus name , Amen.

You will testify!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MARK 11:22 . (Amp version)



"And Jesus ,replying ,said to them, Have faith in God  [constantly]"



10 KEYS -THE POWER OF CONSISTENT FAITH


1. Rule number one. Despite the storms; try to keep your faith constant. It might seem nothing is working , but here is the key - spiritually you are growing and learning fast . you won't believe , how fast you have grown until your next storm . "And should sleep , and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how." Mark 4:27
2.Constant faith will always bring positive result. And faith have levels . When your faith is constant , it can easily carry the weight of your expectations , without wavering . Scripture says in the book of Hebrews 10:35 "Cast not away therefore your confidence , which hath great recompence of reward."
3.When your faith becomes "constant" victory is assured . Jesus confirmed this , in verse 23 of the same chapter when he said " For verily I say unto you , That whosoever shall say unto this mountain ,Be thou removed , and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart , but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Constant faith will always produce the right results. The Holy Spirit has taught me , if you can see the "whatsoever " in your inner man  (spirit), you can receive it with your faith  the "whatsoever" .
4.What you see by faith is as real as your physical body . All you need is for you to get it to that constant level; like the normal air you breath in and out . "constantly". Now here is some good news in Hebrews 12:2 (Amp)" 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]. Jesus is the one who brings our faith to that level of perfection . The key is simple "believe in him only"
5.Constant faith requires constant study of the word . The more you study , the more your faith becomes constant. Scripture says "Study to show thyself approved unto God ,a workman that needeth not to be ashamed , rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Tim 2:15
6. when your faith becomes constantly constant "hmmm" Being the richest man in the world , will be an understatement! why? because once you can see it ; faith will bring it to pass ."anything" .lol. I know this is some-what "deep" for some of you reading this; but I just told you the truth! Let me give you a little work to do . Go read the book of Isaiah 64:4 (Kjv version) and link that scripture to the book of proverb 8:21.(kjv version) check the dictionary meaning of the word "inherit". Now my question ? How do you "think" , you are going to get what  God has prepared ?It can only be by Faith , if you can't see what he has prepared by faith ; you cannot receive it . Jeremiah saw it in verse 11 and guess what God said in verse 12 of chapter 1 of the book of Jeremiah "You are right , the LORD said , and I am watching to see that my words come true." (Good news version) And faith has nothing to do with human reasoning. you try to reason it with your mind , you will miss it .It has nothing to do with it. I back this up with scripture Roms 8:6 (Amp version) "Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit ] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter ] .But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]." It has nothing to do with our human senses.
7. Learn to train your faith to become constant . See Job 13:15"  Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him." Job simply refused to doubt God and God showed up for him.
8. Constant faith is like a man that lifts weight every morning , the more practice , the stronger your faith gets . 1 Tim 4:7 (ESV)"Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness."
9. Constant spiritual warfare  only does one thing , helps your faith to become "constant" . I use to be discouraged by it , not until I discovered  that is what has kept my faith constant . Faith is a constant fight . so keep your faith alive ! 2 Tim 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:"
10. joy - never let go of that joy in you  , it fuels your faith and helps keep your expectations alive. Lam 3:24 (Amp)"The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him."

PERSONAL QUOTE:

" faith is receiving what is already yours from the spirit realms"

 



PRAYER : Father help my faith to become constant now in Jesus name , Amen.



YOU ARE BLESSED!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 2 TIM 1:7


"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."



10 KEYS ON HOW TO DESTROY THE SPIRIT OF FEAR


1. Study the word- The more word (life) inside of you , the more power you carry . Heb 4:12(NLT)"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."
2. Faith - work on your faith , exercise it daily , by putting action to your words . James 2:17(NIV)"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
3. Believe God always - Just believe Him and kill your doubts.What is belief ? Is a thought in your mind . What thought ? God's word that says he has not given you the spirit of fear.let that thought stay in your mind . . It works . John 20:29 (NLT)"Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me."
4. Confess what God's word says , what you see in your mind and not what the fact is . Jer 1:11(NLT)"Then the LORD said to me, "Look, Jeremiah! What do you see?" And I replied, "I see a branch from an almond tree."
5. Rejoice in the lord always . Fear and joy cannot be on the same platform. so choose joy  . Phil 4:4 (NIV)"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"
6. Speak in tongues regularly -It destroys your fears. How? Because you are communicating with the Master Himself directly .Jude 1: 20(NIV)"But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,"
7. Prayer and fasting - strengthens your faith and kills your fears . Mark 9:29"And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
8. When fear comes , fear not! it will go back . 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."
9. Memorize scriptures . why? It is what you have in your heart that will speak , when fear comes .Matt 12:34"O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
10. Express your fears to God always in prayer . Don't be shy about it . Tell Him , He knows already , He is your father . Amen.Once you do that , refuse again to fear and just celebrate and trust him. He gets the job done always.  1 peter 5:7"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you."







"personal quote:"

"fear is a thought in your mind , change what you think "






PRAYER : Father deliver me from all my fears in Jesus name , Amen.



you will succeed in Jesus name , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH 8:13B (NLT)



"Now I will rescue you and make you both a symbol and a source of blessing. So don't be afraid. Be strong, and get on with rebuilding the Temple!"



10 KEYS WHY YOU NEED TO BE STRONG  .



1.The Lord requires for us , while we wait for the promise to come to pass , to be strong in faith. Why? Because our faith willbe tested .1 Peter 1:7(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."
2.While we wait , God requires that we should be strong in prayer .No giving up or getting weary in adversity , but just as Jesus was in His agony ,it is written that He prayed the more .Luke 22:44 (ESV)"And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
3.He requires that we should be strong in thanksgiving and praise .Bible records that Abraham against all hope , he was strong in faith and kept giving glory to God . A key that helped him to birth forth his promise. Roms 4:20 "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;"
4.He requires for us to be strong in grace. Lest we turn our backs in the face of adversity .2 Timothy 2:1(NIV)"You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
5. He requires for us to be strong in courage . what is the dictionary definition of courage "strenght in the face of pain or grief ". we are going to pass through waters, rivers , fire ( Isaiah 43:2) but in it all , we need to be strong in courage , so we will not lose hope and give up.Joshua 1:7"Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest."
6.He wants us to be strong in determination . For us to fulfill our divine purpose in life , we need to be determined against all odds and opposition . Why? Because God has already wired in us the spirit of overcomers . So no matter the opposition , we will overcome , because the one in us is greater , than the one in the world . 1 John 4:4 (NIV)"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
7.He requires for us to be strong in giving .One of the keys to being blessed is giving when you re in need .The book of 2 cor 8:2(HCSB) paints it more clearly . They gave out of their deep poverty , knowing that their sacrifice according to Phil 4:18 is " a sacrifice acceptable. well pleasing to God ."During a severe testing by affliction, their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed into the wealth of their generosity."
8.He requires for us to be strong in joy . Despite the shame , attacks , rejection , we should rejoice and give Him thanks knowing our reward shall be very great in heaven and I want to add manifested here on earth for the world to see and believe in Jesus . Prov 11:31 . Luke 6:23(NIV) says it better ""Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets."
9.He requires for us to be strong in good works . If you read the book of Psalm 37:1-4 , we are encouraged not to give attention to the works of the wicked , but to trust the lord in the midst of his wicked schemes and continue to do good . Knowing this key in Ephesians 6:8a(ESV)"knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free."
10.And finally we should be strong in fasting.Any strong believer must be strong in fasting , so as to subdue the flesh and  keep the  his spirit alive and spiritually sharp in the midst of trials and temptations . Breaking strong holds and addictions to bad habits etc. Isaiah 58:6.(NIV)""Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?".

personal quote:

" It is in the face of adversity your true strength is revealed"

PRAYER: Father the grace to remain strong , let it not depart from me now in Jesus name , Amen.

you are winner!! Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF PROVERB 15:1



"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."




10 KEYS TO CONTROLLING UNHOLY ANGER .


1. Having a thankful heart - your heart will always speak what it is full of . 1 Thess 5:18(NLT)"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."
2. Controlling your thoughts - the spirit of anger , starts with a "thought " once it comes up , simply kill it and switch your thoughts to something positive .you might miss it a couple of times , but you will eventually get it right . phil 4:8(NIV)"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."
3. prayer - Admitting that you have it and asking God to deal with it . works . 1 John 1:9(NIV)"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
4. Knowledge of scriptures - search for scriptures on anger in the bible and pray with it. Example from prov 15:1 - Father bridle my tongue in the name of Jesus and help me to control myself anytime I am tempted to get angry , holy Spirit take control of me from henceforth in Jesus name , Amen. Mark 11:24(NIV)"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
5. My testimony - I prayed to God that anytime I want to get angry , he should just make me "laugh" and walk away . lol. He answered me . I tell you it helped me alot . And today , I am just one funny guy , that if you don't know how to laugh , don't come near me' lol . He will answer you too.Amen . Rev 12:11(NIV)"They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."
6.Forgiveness - Be quick to forgive . It works like miracle . just let it go and move on to something else . it frees you .Matt 6:12(NLT)"and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us."
7. Anytime you are angry , remember this truth , it will help you . your faith just stopped working . And faith is the spiritual currency you need if you want anything from God . Heb 11:6(NIV)"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
8.Impatience - Have this knowledge that once you become impatient , you can't control your anger .patience will always control it . prayer - father teach me how to become patient , anytime I am faced with the spirit of unholy anger in Jesus name , Amen. Luke 21:19"In your patience possess ye your souls."
9.Peace- learn how to hold your peace . it subdues  the spirit of anger and builds up your strength to resist the temptation. Is a powerful weapon against the spirit of anger .psalm 29:11(NIV)"The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace."
10.Fasting - Humbles your flesh and controls your emotions. Isa 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?"

Personal quote:

 "Anger is like a thief  patiently waiting for you at the gate of your breakthrough" Ignore him!




PRAYER :Father deal with every spirit of anger operating in my life in the name of Jesus , Amen.


you will succeed in Jesus name , Amen.



LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JOB 14:14 (Amp)



" If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare and service I will wait, till my change and release shall come."


10 KEYS WHY JOB GOT HIS BREAKTHROUGH


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 .

Personal Quote:

"There is power in your waiting " Isa 40:31



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



BE BLESSED!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MATTHEW 21:21 (NIV)


"Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done."





10 KEYS ABOUT DOUBT  THAT WILL STIR YOUR FAITH .




1. Doubt - will stop you from taking the right steps , that ought to be taken. Luke 24:38 (NIV)"He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?".
2. Doubt and lies are best of friends , faith and truth are best of friends . Take your stand . you can't be in between .1 Kings 18:21(NIV)"Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing."
3. Anytime you fall short of the word , you doubt God .Key build on the word and erase your doubts. Scripture says in the book of Colossi-ans 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Anything less , leads to doubt .
4. True love never doubt. I cor 13:7 "Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." That is what true love is all about . believe and never doubt . Amen.
5. Doubt sees the circumstances surrounding it ,truth sees the presence of God around the circumstances. Psalm 125:2(NIV)"As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore."
6. Doubt listens to your flesh , faith listens to your spirit. Roms 8:16 (NIV)"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children."
7. Doubt is an enemy showing you the wrong picture of the real you .2 Cor 4:18 (NIV)"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
8. Doubt leads to regrets , faith leads to celebration. Luke 2:62"And Peter went out, and wept bitterly."
9. Doubt never listens to the truth , faith does .Roms 10:17(ISV)"Consequently, faith results from listening, and listening results through the word of the Messiah. "
10. Doubt takes you out of His presence , faith brings you into His presence .John 6:66 (NIV)"From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him."

Personal quote :

"whenever  you doubt , your faith just worked without your knowing" Heb 11:1

 


PRAYER : Father never let me doubt you again in Jesus name , Amen.




You are almost there ! Amen

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.
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 fiercly. But let the truth (word)  you know be your shield and
buckler at such times .Now learn the key why you are being attacked fiercly . An enemy that knows he is about to die ,
what do you think would be his reaction ? last minute survival .Key- When it happens , you are getting close to
something big , don't give up praying now . prayer harder and more fiercly , using the sword of the spirit , which is
the word to fight . Learn what Jesus did , when the battle grew worse. Luke 22:44
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 . If it is not working for your good God will not allow it .3. After the storm comes the testimony ,
not before .4. you re being trained on how to fight spiritually . 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 . Roms 8:37
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)
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 , 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 aand
on , reminding him of scriptures Isaiah 62:6 (Amp)
6.Keep your praise on - In spiritual warfare , you use everything to fight , prayers , praise , confession , speaking
in tongues etx. When the battle seems to be getting tough in orayers , you switch to praises . prayers- angels go to
work , praise -God goes to work . Psalm 67:5,6
7.The blood of Jesus - from personal experience in warfares , 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. 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 8:10b
9.Fasting- Is a very strong weapon to use . see more details from the book of Isaiah 58:6
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 fiercly , you still see him beaming with a bright smile joyfully , thanking the lord . Amennn How do you....."hmmm" lol . John 15:11

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JOHN 9:8,9 .(Msg)



"8 Soon the town was buzzing. His relatives and those who year after year had seen him as a blind man begging were saying, “Why, isn’t this the man we knew, who sat here and begged?”9 Others said, “It’s him all right!” But others objected, “It’s not the same man at all. It just looks like him.”

He said, “It’s me, the very one.”



10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOUR BREAKTHROUGH.




1. His own family members and neighbour's "friends" never expected his situation to change . meaning they took delight in seeing him beg (suffer) .Now here is some good news from the lord to you  that is on His waiting list..Zep 3:19(NIV)"I will give them praise and honor in every land where they have suffered shame."
2.His miracle brought about a controversy from the very people  one would have thought would be happy for him. but remember my friend what God is saying to you today from the book of James 1:2(ISV)"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials,". Be strong  and let nothing steal your joy while you wait !
3. Listen , the reason for the delay , is to still prepare you spiritually , so that you can be strong when the blessings come . Why? Is not every one who is going to rejoice with you ,most especially "some" who are close to you .Read the text above ,lest you become discouraged again and wish you where still in Egypt . Exo 14:12(NIV)"Didn't we say to you in Egypt, 'Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians'? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!"
4..Know this , because some people don't expect your story to change , when it does happen , get ready for those that will take offence at your testimony. you have to boldly stand up to their faces like this man, that it is " you " . John 9:9b(Msg)"He said, “It’s me, the very one.” Why? They never thought you would one day buy a Bentley , they never thought one day  you would own your own house, have a child , get married . Amen. Is your rime !! Rejoice .
5.To them , they prayed he would beg forever ; but to God it was only for a season .1 Peter 5:10(NIV)"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
6.This man had faith . While he was waiting for his change to come , he held his peace . they called him a beggar, yet he held his peace .Job 22:21(NLT)"Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.". Hold your peace , something good is coming .
7.This man believed Jesus , despite the fact that he could not see Him. Question ? Do you still believe that God can still change your situation ? reflect on that. for Jesus said in the book of John 20:29(NIV)Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
8.No matter what you  think your situation is , scripture still encourages us to have faith . why ? The book of Psalm 112:4(ESV)"Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
9.This man despite the fact that he couldnt see , despite the "situation " in his life , obeyed Jesus . Simple instruction "go wash in the pool of siloam ""go wash your neigbours car " " go sweep the church" "come today for prayer meeting" . Key- you don't know the instruction that will bring in your long awaited miracle . be obedient and expectant . Heb 10:37"For, "In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay." There is always light at the end of very tunnel
10. And finally , keep growing in the dark , your day of laughter is just around the corner in Jesus name , amen. .Acts 2:2"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting".   He is the God of suddenly !! 









MY PRAYER FOR YOU - You will not only testify of your breakthrough , but it will cause a buzz amongst those who have concluded your case in Jesus name , Amen. NB: FOR SOMEONE READING THIS NOW , GET READY IT IS YOUR TURN TO LAUGH! .LUKE 6:21b



BE BLESSED !

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MATTHEW 14:29

"And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus."

10 THINGS YOU WILL ALWAYS FACE WHEN JESUS SAYS COME .

1. The first thing , the enemy will try to do is to test you , if you are sure you "heard" him. This was what Satan did to eve and he tried it again with Jesus .Please permit me to translate it in pigin English "lol" " you sure say you hear am , because ..." confusionist and doubters club will try to rob you of what you have heard .1 cor 14:33 and Gen 3:1 (NIV)"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2. Prepare for the journey - Is not a 100 metres dash .It was never recorded , the distance between Peter and Jesus when he walked on water to meet him ?Isa 40 :30 (NIV)"Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion."
3. Be prepared to pray - If not the storms will sweep you away . prayer is a force that will help you get there . Heb 4:16(NIV)"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
4. Be prepared to fast - storms are of various kinds . See the phrase Jesus used , when he talked with his disciples . "This kind " meaning this one is different from the other ones .Matt 17:21"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
5. you will encounter wicked snakes on the way. people who just wish to see you dead , for no just cause .Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." But the good news is we have authority over them  . Thank you Jesus !
6. Times of weariness will come.Listen , you stop , you sink , you just have to keep doing what is good, keep believing ,keep praising and thanking God as you go . Gal 6:9 (NLT)"So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."
7. Hmm, Ridicule is a sure sign , he has asked you to come . Someone said , "if they don't mock you , how can God make you "? . Jesus was mocked to scorn. Luke 8:53"And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead."
8. Encounters with the power of darkness. All will attempt mercilessly to stop you .It takes determination , strong faith to rise above them .Eph 6:12 (NLT)"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
9. Doubt - Faith is not a days job . There are times /seasons in your life , you would ask God questions ? Like John the Baptist. Luke 7:20 (NIV)"When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?'" but listen , God cannot lie ...continue .
10. Temptation - will come to test your faith . Jesus said Luke 22:46(NIV)""Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."

Personal quote:

"When God says come , your miracle is at the other side "


PRAYER : Father see me through this test I pray in Jesus name , Amen.


Be blessed.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JOB 30:1 (Re-edited)




""But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock. "



10 KEYS WHEN YOU RE FACED WITH A MOCKERY  .PART 11..




1. Don't lose hope - Most times when we are mocked , rather than focus on God , we focus on the creature bringing the mockery . lol. no ! Isaiah 51:13(NLT)"Yet you have forgotten the LORD, your Creator, the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth. Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors? Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies? Where is their fury and anger now? It is gone!"
2. Never be discouraged about it - Is not the time to be discouraged . If you do you will lose strength needed to fight the good fight of faith and win . Rather Key into Isaiah 54 :1-4 . Notice the first word there "Sing" link verse one with verse three and get the key " For thou shall break forth" when you obey verse one. see verse three "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited."
3.Let not your faith waver. Be strong and stand firm against it . 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."
4.Having done all . Stand in faith , stand in hope (expectation of your desired miracle) stand in joyyyy. Amen. Eph 6:13 (Amp)"Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]." NB: WHERE YOU ARE SITTED TOGETHER WITH CHRIST .
5.Take no offence - If you take offence , you will still need to work more on your faith . Take no offence and let God handle it , His own way. If there is anything , I have come to learn from personal experience , God hates it when He sees His children being mocked . hm, He pays back , I can assure you of this . Joel 2:26b is not a joke." And My people shall never be put to shame."
6.Praise and give God thanks the more . Listen it works , it takes your faith higher and keeps your spirit alive , fresh from all bitterness and hate .Hab 3:17,18(Amp)" Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!"
7.If it is hard for you take your mind of it , here is what you do , go out and make yourself happy . you don't need somebody to help you do that , do it yourself . go shopping , get some funny movies to watch ,get your favourite song and dance to it . Amen . make yourself happy , while you focus on what God is doing and showing you in your spirit/mind . John 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
8.Power - Now here is the key- This power resides in you , if you fail to use it , the enemy will use it against you. Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. " and this power is activated by faith when you believe God to make things right . Roms 8:28.Amen .
9.Confession - words are powerful .Say what God would say at any given  situation . Key -Gen 1:3  the earth was without form or void ( darkness and confusion everywhere ) but what did God say , he was not moved by it , but rather he commanded for light to come and it did by faith . Amen. Say what you want to see in your life and not what the enemy is doing .shift your focus to Him . Amen. Gen 1:3"And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."
10.Finally , seize the opportunity to ask the lord for something . I tell you how , read John 15:7 . If you dwell in Him and His word "promise"  dwells in you , He says ask whatever you want and it shall be done. key - rather than fall into discouragement , allow His word to dwell in your heart richly , so you can ask,, using that platform . John 15:7(NLT)"But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!"   Amen.





PRAYER: Father help me to stand strong in the midst of this trial in the mighty name of Jesus , Amen.


Be blessed!!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 1 CORINTHIANS 7:7 (NASB)


"Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.



10 KEYS WHY  YOU CAN'T  BE A FAILURE WHEN YOU HAVE A GIFT !



1. Every man in this earth has a gift . so your were never born a failure from birth . Gen 1:31a(NLT)"Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! ." work on that gift .
2. Your gift is were the blessing is .Gen 41:41.(NLT)"Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt." His gift made way for him.
3. Your gift will announce you .1 Samuel 16:18(NLT)"One of the servants said to Saul, "One of Jesse's sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that--he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the LORD is with him."
4. Your gift is were you have been empowered to dominate .Gen 1:28"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
5. Look for the right platform , for your gift . Every gift has its own domain . fishes can't swim on land , that is not their territory . so look for yours and you will swim like a fish in water. Mark 12:17(NLT)"Well, then," Jesus said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." His reply completely amazed them." They can't beat you in your domain. No!
6. your gift will require seasons of training and re-training . Jesus said in the book of John 15:2(NLT)"He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more." The deeper the pruning the better you become . The sling shot that brought Goliath down , was not learnt in a day . practice they say makes perfect . so stop seeking quick recognition , work on your gift first and when it is time , like a dream , you will be recognized. Psalm 126:1"A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream."
7.Your gift will always attract known and unknown enemies . never allow them to discourage you .Is only a sign , that they have seen it in you . so see it as an opportunity to sharpen it hard and better . Why? When it is time , your gift would be needed . Eccl 10:10 and Isaiah 60:22 (NLT)"The smallest family will become a thousand people, and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation. At the right time, I, the LORD, will make it happen."
8.your gift is simply a solution to somebody's headache /pain . 2 Kings 5:3(NIV)" She said to her mistress, "If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.". Elisha was the solution to Naaman's problem .
9.your gift is your talent , if you fail to invest it , you won't see the benefits of it . Listen , the returns might be little or nothing for now, let people know you for it , at just the right time , you would be remembered . so never give up on it . Gen 41 :9,12"Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
10.Finally , if God have deposited his spirit (gift ) in you . Question ? can the spirit of God fail ? Isaiah 43:13 He has wired you to be a blessing with your gift , use it . Zech 8:13(NLT)"Among the other nations, Judah and Israel became symbols of a cursed nation. But no longer! Now I will rescue you and make you both a symbol and a source of blessing. So don't be afraid. Be strong, and get on with rebuilding the Temple!." Get on with your gift and keep working at it . Amen.








PRAYER : Father help me to utilise the gift you have deposited in me in Jesus name , Amen.




you will not fail in Jesus name , Amen.

2.When your patience is not complete , the enemy can still out smart you . James 1:4(NIV)"Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
3.Patience is like an anti-virus , when sown in the right soil , has the power to uproot the spirit of doubt in you .Matt 15:13(NIV)"He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots."
4.patience is the platform upon which your faith is built and strengthen. James 1:3(AKJV)"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience."
5.God uses patience to teach , you will never pass his class if you are impatient. Eccl 7:8(ESV)"Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
6.Patience is like a man who has seen the end and deliberately walks back to the beginning and says to God , I am ready to start from here .Isa 46:10(NIV)"I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'"
7.Impatience is like a baby who has seen the end and tells God , lets start from here (the end)1 cor 13:11(NIV)"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me."

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK 1 KINGS 18:36 (HCSB)

"At the time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached the altar and said, "Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that at Your word I have done all these things."


10 KEYS BEFORE YOU SEE THE POWER OF GOD MANIFEST




1.Preparation - Elijah first of all prepared the Altar . Key - If you are not prepared , when the opportunity comes you will miss it . Why? without preparation ,victory cannot be attained . Hosea 10:12 (HCSB)"Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your unplowed ground. It is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain. "
2. Timing - If Elijah had moved before the time the sacrifice would have failed . Bible says he waited till evening .Key- no matter your anointing , if you move to become a General overseer or start your own business/ ministry without proper training , failure is the next episode .lol . Many of God's children have gone into" error"evil works because of the shame of going back to learn properly from their former bosses. Eccl 3:1 (NASB)"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven"
3. Patience - He waited . Impatience would have cause the sacrifice to fail. It caused Saul his kingdom .Luke 21:19"In your patience possess ye your souls."
4. He reverence God - Despite the seriousness of the situation at hand , he took time to call on God by His names . He magified Him above the situation . He reminded God of who he is .Key- when you remind God of who He is , He will show you that He is who He says He is . Isa 45:6(NLT)"so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the LORD, and there is no other."
5.Why did He choose to remind God of His names ? Because of the covenant He made with Abraham , Isaac and Israel .Psalm 89:34(NLT)"No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said."
6. At times pride can cause us our miracle . He did not keep silent , because God had a reputation to protect . He called on Him . If not ,trust God , he would not have answered . why? He himself had said in scripture .Psalm 50:15(NLT)"Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory." NB: He said call , so if you don't .........
7. God at times will allow the enemy to show off all his powers , before He steps into your case . Why? When He performs your miracle for you , listen , you , your enemies , will have no doubt at all , that this one can only be " God " . The magicians told pharaoh- Exo 8:19(NLT)"This is the finger of God!" the magicians exclaimed to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh's heart remained hard. He wouldn't listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted."
8.The fear of man is a trap , if Elijah had shown any sign of fear before the prophets of baal , the sacrifice would have failed . Why ? Jer 1:17 (NLT) gives us the answer . Never show the enemy you are afraid . Never !" Get up and prepare for action. Go out and tell them everything I tell you to say. Do not be afraid of them, or I will make you look foolish in front of them."
9.Elijah's petition to God , did not last up to a minute and he got spectacular results . Why ? who can deny the existence of the Most High God . John 1:1 (NIV)"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.." He did according to the word .
10.The prophets of baal all had zeal , they were committed to their god , but they all lacked what Elijah had , the God that answers by fire . 2 Kings 1:10(NIV)"Elijah answered the captain, "If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!" Then fire fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men."

"when you think all hope is lost , something big is about to happen"



PRAYER : Father teach me your ways in the name of Jesus , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 26:4


"Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:"



10 KEYS THAT WILL HELP YOU  BUILD YOUR TRUST IN GOD .




1.Your trust in God produces that spiritual strength in you .Key- when your strength is low , deliberately choose to trust him the more . verse 4"Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:" your trust in Him produces strength in you.
2.When you choose to trust God , He uses your storms to teach  his plan and purpose for your life . Isaiah 30:21(NIV)"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." He guides you in the midst of your storms with His voice
3.Your trust in God , will give you an eye opener to the deceits and lies of the enemy . John 8:44(NLT)"For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." When you trust God , the lies of the enemy is exposed.
4. When you put your trust in Him , knowledge is increased . How? He reveals himself to those that trust him.Jer 33:3(HCSB)"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know."
5.When God is the source of your strenght and trust , the impossible becomes possible . why? trust and faith are best of friends . Luke 1:37 ISV)"Nothing is impossible with respect to any of God's promises."
6.God's strenght has no limit , you can only limit yourself , when you fail to trust Him. Jesus said in Mark 11:22(Amp)"And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]." practice it.
7.When you trust God, success has no option . Joshua 1:8(NIV)"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
8.When you lock unto God in trust, his blessings will lock unto you .Jer 17:7,8(Amp)"[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit."
9.Trust is like a man walking on coals of fire to meet with destiny. Isa 43:2(NLT)"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you."
10.The battles of life requires spiritual strenght in which your trust in Him lies .2 Cor 10:3(HCSB)"For though we live in the body, we do not wage war in an unspiritual way,"


Personal quote:

"Trust in God is one with God and when you become one with God nothing is impossible"  Matt 17:20


PRAYER : Father teach me how to trust you in Jesus name , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS 22:8(NIV)







"Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together."



10 KEYS THE MYSTERY BEHIND ABRAHAM'S CONFESSION AND HIS SON .


1.No father ever calls his child "Son" except four things are involved . 1.love 2. obedience. 3. humility . 4 .meekness. Isaac had these qualities in him.Prov 22:6(NIV)"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."
2. Isaac loved God , so there was nothing to fear, even at the point of death .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."
3. The relationship between Isaac and his father is a testimony of the song of solomon chapter 8:6(NIV)"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame."
4. What he said came by revelation , it wasn't his flesh at all . No ! see the book of 2 cor 3:5 (Amp)"Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God."
5. Bible says through knowledge shall the just be delivered . Abraham had a good knowledge of God .Prov 11:9b(NIV)"With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape."
6.Abraham knew the ways of God . Listen , Abraham saw the lamb . you doubt it ? read Gen 13:14,15 . he was speaking from experience .The Devil is a liar . What are you seeing ? . God will always ask you, what do you see ? Jer 1:11(NLT)"Then the LORD said to me, "Look, Jeremiah! What do you see?" And I replied, "I see a branch from an almond tree."
7.Abraham spoke out of the abundance of his heart . In times of crises , it is what you have inside , that will speak .Matt 12:34(NIV)"You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."
8. Abraham had strong confidence in God . Listen , your confidence will reward you . No matter the trial . believe God . Heb 10:35(NIV)"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded."
9.Abraham was not afraid of death .Listen if he was , he would have spoken carnally and that would have robbed him of his testimony . Key- Matt 12:37(NIV)"For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
10.Finally , this is a revelation of Mark 11:23 , that you can have whatever you say in your wilderness experience , if you doubt not . What am I saying , there is supernatural provision for those that truly believe God . Heb 11 :6(NIV)"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

PRAYER :Father help me to see what you see from now on , in Jesus name , Amen.



you are blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF PSALM 5:12 (NIV)

" Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield."



10 KEYS THAT CAN HINDER THE FAVOR OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE.

1.Fear - is one of the biggest hindrances of favour in a believers life . Why? fear will stop you from meeting/talking to your God ordained helper when the opportunity comes. fear will stop you from asking God what you truly need , pretending to be humble , when God cannot be deceived , He sees what you need in your heart , but out of fear , you are not asking , but just beating around the bush. 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."
2.Doubt - will take you out of His arena of favor .James 1:7 .NB: God can never be pleased when you doubt Him. Heb 11:6 (NIV)"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
3. Unbelief - will stop the favour of God from manifesting in your life . Why? Even Jesus could not do much in His home town because of unbelief! Matt 13:58 (NLT)"And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief."
4.Complaining - Daddy does not like complainers . It takes one away from the favour of God. Phil 2:14 (ISV)"Do everything without complaining or arguing ."
5.Offence - Is so easy for one to become offended . but it will cost you if you permit it. It is that dangerous . If you see John the Baptist , ask him and he will tell you his pitiable story in the hand of Herod. I want to believe , that God's favour would have saved his head , if he wasn't offended. else?Matt 11:3(NIV)"to ask him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone
6.Lack of love - Faith walketh by love , so without love you cannot connect to the God of faith who specializes in blessing His children with favour. Gal 5:6 "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
7.Lack of confidence - Scripture rightly puts it like this heb 10:35(ISV)"So don't lose your confidence, since it holds a great reward for you." . so we sum it up , that lack of confidence in God will cause you to lose your reward / favour from Him .
8.lack of joy - Our God is a God of joy ,everything about God from scripture is full of joy .So if you lack joy , how do you connect to the God of favour ? Question. psalm 16:11(NIV)"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." His right hand is full of His favour . Amen.
9.Ingratitude - Will stop the favour of God from flowing in your life any day . Even for the air we breath every day , God expects us to be grateful to him. Luke 17:18(NLT)"Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
10.prayerlessness- Someone said , if you fail to pray to the God of favour , is like telling God you can do it on your own .lol , Is not possible o . period! Jer 33:3 (NIV)"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'" . So if you fail to call to the God of favour , you are on your own sir!

personal quote :

"God's presence is what attracts favor into your life"




PRAYER : Father let your light of favor begin to radiate around me from now on in the name of Jesus  , Amen.

you re favoured!
