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 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!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF HEBREWS 11:36



:""And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment





10 KEYS ON HOW TO STAND STRONG IN THE MIDST OF CRUEL MOCKERY.




1.Your knowledge of scripture , gives you an edge over the situation . You need to know what scripture is saying concerning it . Why ? The same scriptures puts it like this in Prov 24:10 "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.". and your knowledge of scripture is what gives you the your strenght to rise above it . Prov 24:5b "A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength."
2.Prayer - Now how does prayer come into this matter . Key - with the knowledge of scripture you have as your armour , you are able to do a good warfare with it , by reminding God of His promises concerning you . Isaiah 62:6(Amp) " you who [are His servants and by your prayers] put the Lord in remembrance [of His promises], keep not silence,". Now this is why you should , see verse 7 "And give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise in the earth.". until He has done it . make you a praise , rolled away the reproach and turn you into a testimony . Amen.
3. I discovered , Satan loves it , when you pay him attention . No! Refuse to give him any . Key - James 4:7 (NLT)"So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."". When he sees , he is not getting any attention . he will flee. "lol"
4.your mockery is out to steal your joy . And when joy is gone , Satan brings you into his own atmosphere of depression , so he can deal with you the more . No ! Key - Maintain your stand in God's presence , by remaining joyful , so as to lock unto His pleasures . Psalm 16:11"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
5.Faith - by faith ( your confidence in God) you will quench all the flaming missiles (cruel mockings) of the wicked one. Eph 6:16(Amp)" Lift up over all the [covering] shield of [saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].".Key - learn to fight the good fight of faith . Is good because you will win ! Amen.
6. When you are face with a cruel mockery . peace is a very strong weapon to use . never show the enemy you are moved or pained by it . hold your peace and let 1. God fight for you . Exodus 14:14 (NLT)"The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."..2. Allow room for the good thing He is bringing to come into your life , without resistance . Job 22:21 (Amp)"Acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will] and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good shall come to you."
7.Always see your challenge as a test of your faith . Once you pass the test , you are ready for your next season ..promotion is at the door , take it and dump the mockery . 1 Peter 1:7:Amp)" So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed."
8.Listen , your mockery prepares you for the blessing . if you can't stand the mockery , how will you be able to stand the blessing . When Peter saw the miracle that Jesus did , he couldn't stand it . Luke 5:8-10(Msg)"Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. “Master, leave. I’m a sinner and can’t handle this holiness. Leave me to myself.” When they pulled in that catch of fish, awe overwhelmed Simon and everyone with him. It was the same with James and John, Zebedee’s sons, coworkers with Simon."
9.Listen, mockery comes with fear and intimidation ,don't you ever allow it . Don't ! Satan is going to box you in , if you do and will always use it as an avenue to mock and intimidate you always with it .Key- Isaiah 41:10 (Msg)"Don’t panic. I’m with you, There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you."
10.Now hear me , what do you think , you ought to be doing now ? celebrate , celebrate , celebrate!! That is how kingdom people do it . we celebrate because God is about to do something great . Amen. Roms 12:12 (NIV)"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."




PRAYER : Father the grace to celebrate it now , let it come upon me in Jesus name , Amen. Ok begin to dance and celebrate . Jeremiah 33:11


Love youuuu!!lol, Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF NAHUM 3:4


 

"Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts."




10 KEYS THAT WILL HELP YOU , IF YOU RE A VICTIM OF WITCHCRAFT ATTACKS .


1.Peace is a key weapon to use against the spirit of witchcraft .When they see you troubled , fret , discouraged , Listen , they are empowered the more to afflict you . Why? simple . who wouldn't score more goals , when he sees he is winning . Never show you are moved . Always hold your peace and deal with it in prayer . Remember what Jesus said in John 16:33"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
2.Joy - Once you allow them (Witches) to steal your joy , they have stolen your harvest . Why is that ? your joy is connected to your harvest (reward) . so no matter what ,rejoice and keep rejoicing . They don't know what to do with people who constantly celebrate God in their lives . Joel 1:12"The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men." Notice - the harvest withered because the spirit of joy (God's presence) was gone. Psalm 16:11(NLT)"You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever."
3.Your knowledge of scriptures is very important . why? it is connected to your deliverance . so study the word hard . know what the word says , pray it , confess it and appreciate God with it. .Prov 11:9b"An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered."
4.Be born -again - If you are still in the world , friend , listen , you cannot fight them , as long as you are still in there camp . darkness cannot fight darkness . That is their territory . you cannot use their own platform to fight them . Receive Jesus as your lord and Saviour and guess what He said in the book of 2 Chron 20:15(HCSB)" and he said, "Listen carefully, all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what the LORD says: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast number, for the battle is not yours, but God's."
5.Sin - will always expose you to their attacks . Let it go. you cannot beat demons in their own playground .." 1 John 1:9(NLT)"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness
6.Holiness - Demons hate holiness . just like insects hate mosquito spray . Holy people carry the presence of God wherever they go . so your light, scares them off all the time . Luke 5:8 (Msg)"Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. “Master, leave. I’m a sinner and can’t handle this holiness. Leave me to myself.”
7.A life of praise and worship - God inhabits the praises of His people . He comes to dwell there . I have seen demons flee from my room , when I began to worship and praise him. Psalm 50 :23(Amp)"He who brings an offering of praise and thanksgiving honors and glorifies Me; and he who orders his way aright [who prepares the way that I may show him], to him I will demonstrate the salvation of God."
8.Fasting and praying regularly - At lest once a week . to keep your spirit man alive and sensitive . Demons don't like fire branded Christians . they easily get burnt , so they look out for those whose fire has gone down . see the book of Isaiah 58 and 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."
9.Always Anoint yourself before you leave home and before you sleep . Why? To break every evil yoke in your life and around your life .Listen , we live in a demonic infested world . Is not a joke , I know what am saying , you don't just walk around like that . (NB: You can get a genuine pastor to pray on it for you , if you don't have the faith to pray on it your self) 2 Sam 12:20"Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat."
10.Witches work with information , so never be in a hurry to speak . period ! prov 13:3"He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction."

BONUSES : Be a man or woman of thanksgiving . Always appreciate God , always . it works . 1 Thess 5:18"Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]."
Faith - No matter the attack , let your faith in God be strong . practice never to waver , but to trust God absolutely . prov 3:25,26(Amp)" Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless],26 For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger].
Fear- Never show fear . that is were their strength to afflict  you the more lies. Isaiah 41:10(Amp)


PRAYER :Father deal with every spirit of witchcraft in my life and environment in Jesus name , Amen.

Be blessed !

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 1 KINGS 18:43 (NLT)




"Then he said to his servant, "Go and look out toward the sea." The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, "I didn't see anything." Seven times Elijah told him to go and look."



10 KEYS WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE "ANYTHING"
1.When you can't see anything , listen, is not the time to quit .Is a sign something good is coming and a time to key yourself in prayer , so you can see what is coming .David prayed to God for his eyes to be opened in psalm 119:18 "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."
2.your physical senses will never sense anything coming but the "facts" lol . time to cast your fleshly imaginations down and pick up spiritual antenna to receive what is coming . 2 cor 10 :5"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
3.God will never show what is coming to a proud believer . Why? scripture says it better in the book of 1 Peter 5:5(ESV)"Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
4.When you are humble or when you humble yourself before God in prayer , his grace comes for you to see what is coming . humility is key , if you want to enjoy Him. prov 22:4"By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life."
5.Elijah was persistent . Now this is the key - you quit at such time you lose . you remain and keep seeking His face for a way out . 1 cor 10:13(NLT)"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."
6.When you can't see anything coming , is time to hold on to the word , time to appreciate God with the word He has promised you , time to confess the word back to the enemy and don't doubt . Remember what He said in scripture Isaiah 62:6b (Amp)"you who [are His servants and by your prayers] put the Lord in remembrance [of His promises], keep not silence."
7. Elijah heard a sound "word" from God and what did he do ? He keyed into it , without a doubt of what anybody said or told him. Lesson - If you know your God , you would not doubt Him , When He has spoken a word to you . Key -Daniel 11:32"but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
8.Elijah was fully persuaded about the sound he heard . If you re not fully persuaded , the enemy can push you to doubt the very word you have been given. John the baptist (Luke 7:19). you believe, fine , but becoming fully persuaded about what you believe is another level . Roms 4:21(NLT)"being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."
9.Key - it happened the 7th time . You never can tell how close you are to your testimony , when you are tempted to giving up .If you are in your forth time , three more hits to go . sixth time ..wow , one more hit and you are done . Key - Elijah prayed again. James 5:17(NLT)"Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.". If Elijah had not prayed again, the sky would not have brought down rain .
10.Elijah did not allow people to distract him ; when you know you are "breakthrough" pregnant , be careful of distractors . Keep your focus at such times and you can never miss it in Jesus name , amen. Phil 4:8.(Amp)"For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

PRAYER : Daddy open my eyes to see now in the name of Jesus , Amen.



Be  blessed.

Acts 2:2 (NLT)"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting."
8.  When God gives you a word . Always be expectant ! Always . Never lose hope .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."
9.   Jesus is the cure to any kind of disease on earth . Receive and accept Jesus today .Isa 53:5 (NLT)"But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
