"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."



10 KEYS OF A STRENGHTENED HEART .




1.The enemy cannot attack a heart that has been strengthened by the Lord .1 peter 5:10 (NASB)"After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you."
2.A strengthened heart is a fortified heart. Nums 13:28 (NASB)""Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there."
3. A strengthened heart is a pruned heart .John 15:2(NIV)"He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
4.A strengtened heart is a heart filled with the spirit of boldness . prov 28:1(NLT)"The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions."
5.A strengthened heart is a heart that has been prepared by God to do the extra -ordinary . Why do I say that ? A heart  that has been strengthened no longer doubts the word .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."
6.A strengthened heart is a believing heart .The man who cried to Jesus for help , all he needed was for his heart to become strengthened. Mark 9:24 (NIV)"Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
7. The word of God , prayer, fasting ,word confession all strengthens the heart .Acts 20:32(NIV)"Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified."
8.A strengthened heart is a heart that has been aligned with the word.1 cor 6:17 (NLT)"But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him."
9.Patience is one of the spirits God uses in preparing a strengthened heart.Luke 21:19"In your patience possess ye your souls."
10.A strenghtened heart is a fearless heart . And a fearless heart is a heart that is set for exploits. psalm 91:5(NASB)"You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;"



PRAYER : Father strenghten my heart this year in Jesus name , Amen.



You shall testify in Jesus name , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THR BOOK OF ISAIAH 41:10(NASB)



"'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."



THIS IS THE ONE WHO SAYS HE IS WITH YOU . IT JUST  DROPPED LIKE A REVELATION TO ME THIS MORNING.

1.ELOHIM YISRAEL (GOD OF ISRAEL) 1 Sam 1:17(NIV)"Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." This is the one who says , He is with you . "please Note". He has granted you your request .Delay is not denial . for scripture cannot lie. Roms 8:28 .Him alone knows the timing . Amen.
2.ELOHIM AZAR(GOD THE HELPER) Heb 13:6(ESV)"So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”. Think of how God has been helping you . you are alive is God that has been helping you . You can read this , is God that has been helping you . So why won't He help you in whatever trial/challenge is  facing you now ? Be encouraged .Help is on the way in Jesus name , Amen.
3.EL ENURAH (THE FAITHFUL GOD) Deu 7:9 (NLT)"Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands." The one who says , He is with you , His name is faithful , as in His name "faithful" .think about it .
4.JEHOVAH SABBAOTH (THE LORD OF HOST)Isaiah 14:27 "For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?" Now this is the key , He is not just the Lord of host of the heaven armies , but He is the Lord of all the powers in the heavens , earth , beneath the earth . Meaning He is the Boss of all bosses . Once He says it is done . Every power in the heaven and on earth , "MUST " I say it again "MUST " comply. Amen. Remember this song "Jehovah has the final say " Amen.
5. EL-WAS (THE FORGIVING GOD).Daniel 9:9 (NET) "Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him."

7.EL-KANNA(THE JEALOUS GOD).Exo 34:14 (NIV)"Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." I use mother's as analogy here . Mother's just as you love that your child with all your soul and heart , that you will not tolerate anybody coming near him/her to do him harm . You would rather die than to see your soul "child" cry or beg for food . That is how God is jealous over you and I . He only trains us in your afflictions , so we won't be wayward in life .Amen. Isaiah 48:11
8.EL- SHADDAI (THE ALMIGHTY GOD).Gen 17:1 (NLT)"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am El-Shaddai--'God Almighty.' Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life." The one with complete "power" says He is with you . pause and think about it , again .
9.ELOHIM KADOSHIN (THE HOLY GOD).Psalm 99:9(NIV)"Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy." Now this will encourage you . Holy in what ? God is holy in all His attributes as God. HOLY IN LOVE .HOLY IN MERCY .HOLY IN KINDNESS .HOLY IN FAVOR. HOLY IN GOODNESS.HOLY IN MEEKNESS.HOLY IN FORGIVENESS. ANYTHING HE SAYS YOU CAN TRUST IT 100% BECAUSE OF HIS "HOLINESS" .
10.EL GEMU'AH (THE LORD OF RECOMPENCE)2 Thess 1:6 (NIV)"God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you" All those that have been troubling your life , marriage , business , destiny , family. children etc. Your father will do the same to them .

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK ROMANS 8:17b (MSG)



"And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!"




1. There are two sides to every story . so don't give up. 2 Kings 7:1 (NIV)"Elisha replied, "Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria." Before that time there was severe scarcity. "two sides"
2. Look at the other side of the story and give it all your attention. 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.
3. The first part of the story is about to end ; get ready for an uncommon breakthrough in the second half. Psalm 40:1 (Msg)"I waited and waited and waited for God. At last he looked; finally he listened.". God is about to change your story finally in Jesus name , Amen.
4. You are not stagnant , but only crossing to the other side . Though it is taking some time , don't worry , you will surely get there on time .Amen. Hab 2:2-3 (Msg)"It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time."
5. Let the joy of the other side give you the strength to keep going, for every pain in life has an end . Prov 23:17-18" Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off."
6. When there are two sides of the story , why allow people to conclude your case for you ?. It is not over yet . Amen. Luke 21:13"And it shall turn to you for a testimony."
7. Where you are now is only preparing you for where you are about to enter (a land of milk and honey) in Jesus name , Amen. Exo 23:20"Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared."
8.Why turn your back now , when the world is about to receive you at the other side . Matt 5:14 (NIV)"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden."
9. God created two seasons night and day .(two sides ) Your day is about to break in the name of Jesus , Amen. Psalm 30:5(NIV)"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
The morning of your testimony is very close , very close . Amen.
10. you have fought the good fight of faith , are you going to give up now ,when you are about to receive your crown ? James 1:12(NIV)"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."





PRAYER: Father let my season of celebration come now in the name of Jesus , Amen.


You will testify in Jesus name , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF PROVERB 2:16 (NLT)




"Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman."





1."I have the strength to defend myself" . won't save you. Let God be true, Amen.1 Sam 2:9b(NLT) "He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone."
2.Anointing without wisdom leads to destruction . You doubt ? Ask Samson in the book of Judges 16:31(NLT)"Later his brothers and other relatives went down to get his body. They took him back home and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol, where his father, Manoah, was buried. Samson had judged Israel for twenty years."
3.Knowledge without applied wisdom will backfire .Joseph had knowledge , but wisdom told him "Flee" . Please can I translate it in my "pigin" language , wisdom told Joseph "vanish from there , no look back O " .Gen 39:12 (ESV)"she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house."
4.Prayer again is good , but for the above verse of scripture "wisdom is profitable to direct ". Amen. Eccl 10:10"If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct."
5.Never underestimate the power of an immoral woman , she perfectly knows what she is doing to trap you . Samson failed to realize this.Judges 16:19 (NIV)"After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him."
6.Avoiding her is childish , especially if she is in your office /neighbourhood/or lives in your very Estate. Dealing with your mind will go along way .When they see a committed Christian they know and whenever they see you , it will not be you ignoring them , they ignore you . Even when you greet , at times they pretend not to hear .lol. Eph 4:24(NIV)" and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.". prov 4:23 (NIV)"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
7.The immoral woman is been controlled by Satan ; and one thing we all should realize about this guy is found in the book of Rev 2 :24(NET)" But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching (who have not learned the so-called "deep secrets of Satan"), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you." An Immoral woman has a big full of endless tricks , if you doubt again ? go and ask those great Men of God who have fallen for them or better still "google it".
8.The words of a seductive woman are powerful ; but this is the catch , they can easily tell a fool when they catch one. how ? when you give them a listening ear. prov 7:4-5(NLT)"Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family. Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman, from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman."
9.When it comes to an immoral woman , age difference does not work o . A ten year old can seduce a man of 40 years , if wisdom is not applied. The 10 year olds of today are far different from the ones of the 70's ."knowledge has increased o" prov 3:7 (NLT)Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
10.Am immoral woman is like a fast moving train , who has no pity/mercy for those who "foolishly" come across her path . She will crush your destiny so hard and as if nothing happened , the train is still on top speed . you doubt? go and ask the Ex celebrities they will tell you their story or better still "google it ".prov 2:18-19(NLT)"Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave. The man who visits her is doomed. He will never reach the paths of life."


PRAY LIKE THIS - FATHER DELIVER ME FROM THE HANDS OF EVERY STRANGE WOMAN BOTH NOW AND IN THE FUTURE IN THE NAME OF JESUS , AMEN.



BE BLESSED!

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


"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."


1. There are certain secrets you can only learn from your spiritual attacks ,that you will never learn anywhere. 1 cor 2:7 (NLT)"No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God--his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began." . God has kept some hidden truths in your warfare , very dangerous secrets . find it , ignore the attacks and find it , is there . Once you get it ...hmm.
2. Spiritual attacks only assures you of one thing . your Deliverance is not far . So never panic for any devil bragging over your life . It is coming according to scripture, Amen.joel 2:32 " And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call."
3. When you are attacked , your faith is put to test . 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."
4. Your attacks is only meant to discourage you ; don't give up . Heb 10 :38 (NIV)"And, "But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back."
5. The bigger the attack the bigger the testimony. Is closely related to the law of sowing and reaping . 2 cor 9:6b (NIV)"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." So the smaller the attack , the smaller the testimony will be . So if yours is big . rejoice , Amen. Your testimony is going to be big in Jesus name , Amen.
6. The greater the reproach, the greater the celebration will be .why? There is no way , you will leave this earth without God first giving you your reward . Is not possible .psalm 58:11 (NLT)"Then at last everyone will say, "There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth."
7. God allows an attack at times , to test the level of our strenght in the word .prov 24:5 "A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength".
8.If you refuse to bend , the attack must bend. Isa 60:14(NIV)"The children of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel."
9.If you refuse to give up ; God will show up . Dan 3:25(NLT)""Look!" Nebuchadnezzar shouted. "I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!"
10. When you tell the Devil NO ; God says YES . 2 Cor 1:20 (NLT)"For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God."






I PRAY FOR YOU ; WHATEVER SPIRITUAL ATTACKS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IN YOUR LIFE , SHALL ALL TURN INTO A TESTIMONY IN THE NAME OF JESUS , AMEN.





BE BLESSED!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK MATTHEW 11:6 (NASB)





"And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."







1. Offence will deny you of your blessings . If you are offended against the one who will bless you , how will you get it ? " I think I just spoke this one to my "self". "big laughs" "naah" that was in the past , when I was still a babe in the word. Amen. glory to God, He delivered me . Heb 5:14 (NIV)"But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."
2. Offence will stop you from doing what is right and in return make you miss your blessing .Gen 4:7(NLT)"You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master."
3. Offence denies you of your heavenly peace. How? offence will simply takes you out of His presence. John 16:33 (NLT)"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
4. Offence will steal your joy any day and without joy your long awaited harvest will die. (The Devil is a liar) . joel 1:12 (NLT)"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."
5. Offence is a faith stopper. Gal 5:6 "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
6. Offence will affect the health of a believer . prov 15:13 (ABPE) "A glad heart improves the body and the depressed heart saddens the spirit. "SMILE"
7. Offence will hinder your spiritual growth . Heb 5:12 (ISV)"In fact, though by now you should be teachers, you still need someone to teach you the basic truths of God's word. You have become people who need milk instead of solid food."
8 . God cannot teach the offended . Why? He won't listen. Psalm 25:9 (DBT)"The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way."
9.When you are offended , forgiveness becomes difficult .Matt 6:12 (GWT)"Forgive us as we forgive others."
10. Finally ,John the Baptist lost his head due to offence. Matt 11:3 (NLT) " “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?” God spoke to John directly , that Jesus was the expected Messiah ; but when persecution came , he took offence against Jesus and missed it . You will not miss your blessing in Jesus name , Amen.







PRAY LIKE THIS - FATHER UPROOT EVERY SPIRIT OF OFFENCE IN MY LIFE NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS , AMEN.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION 2:24


" But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not explored and known the depths of Satan, as they say—I tell you that I do not lay upon you any other [fresh] burden:".






1.If Jesus "Himself" said this, then no matter your anointing , Satan can wait for 40  years to get at you . If you doubt? go ask Moses at the gate of canaan (Deu 34:4), or King Solomon the man whom God blessed with wisdom , yet he fell into the hands of strange women in his old age.1 Kings 11:1 (NIV)"King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter--Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites".
2. This is another revelation of 1 cor 10:12 . Never think you are over anointed . Error ! If great men of God have fallen in the past , it can happen to you or me . (NLT) "If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall."
3.If Jesus our Lord and Master can make this statement . It simply means we can never defeat the Devil , if He is not with us. John 15:5 (NIV)" I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." This is the key-Is not just knowing the word but having an encounter with the word "JESUS". Rev 19:13
4. This scripture also brings to light the depth of Satan's lies . It can come so pure like the truth , but it is a lie of Satan. prov 14:12 (NLT)"There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death."
5.This scripture also informs us believers ,of the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives . Without his guidance we are lost.psalm 51:11(NLT)" Do not banish me from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me."
6.Satan can never give up on a genuine believer. So let his attacks and manipulations not surprise you , is a sign you bear the mark he sees . Gal 6:17 (NIV)"From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus."
7.Satan bag of tricks is endless.(....and known the depths of Satan) he can come up with a new trick to try you .Eph 6:11(ISV)"Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the devil's strategies."
8.A man that has an endless bag of tricks is a "workaholic" . while you are resting , he is thinking of a new method to trick you with.luke 22:31 (Amp)"Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that [all of] you be given up to him [out of the power and keeping of God], that he might sift [all of] you like grain,". Try his new method on you . be on guard!
9.In my short walk with God this past 14 years by his grace . I have seen and at times fallen for his ever endless bag of tricks. It might be as simple as sowing into the life of a person/organization , the Lord has not led you to sow. "witchcraft manipulation" . It has consequences. Roms 8:14 (NIV)"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God."
10.Finally , the good news is, God is still more than able to use the evil he brings to work for our good . Amen. Gen 50:20 (NIV)"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."



I PRAY FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS , NO MATTER THE DEPTH OF THE ENEMY AGAINST YOU , YOU SHALL FINISH WELL IN LIFE IN JESUS NAME I PRAY , AMEN.


BE BLESSED!
