LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ROMANS 11:33(ISV)




"O how deep are God's riches, and wisdom, and knowledge! How nfathomable are his decisions and unexplainable are his ways!"


10 WAYS OF GOD PART 2




1.He needed to take Joseph to Egypt in preparation for his throne as the prime minister of egypt , He used his own brothers to arrange the sale. what you think is working against you,when God is with you , listen , He can still make it work for your good . That is the reason you shouldn't feel discouraged just yet. Key - wait and let the whole drama unfold itself, while you exercise your trust in this faithful God . Roms 8:28(NLT)"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
2.He needed to arrange for Joseph to meet with pharoah. He secretly sent his helper, the butler to meet with him in prison under the disguise of human judgment .Where the enemy thinks he is pushing you to, to ruin you , that is where God has secretly arranged for you to meet with your helper.Gen 40:3 "And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound."
3.When Jesus wanted to heal the blind man who was blind from birth in the book of John chapter 9 , one would have expected Jesus like other times , to just lay His hands on him and his eyes would open or just speak the word and he would receive his miracle , but rather Jesus started the process by adding clay to his eyes mixed with His spit . (wow ooooo).Hear this when matters get worse is a sign from God your miracle is about to happen . It was after they laughed Jesus to scorn , the miracle took place and not before .Luke 8:53-56 "And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done."
4.When He needed to pay His taxes for Himself and brother peter , one would have expected Him to instruct Peter to go and catch somes fishes from the river for sale. But just to prove to Peter that He is the Lord and Master of the universe , He gave a command for money to appear in the mouth of Peter's profession . What is God trying to teach us , "If you would believe , I can bless your business , I can bless you without a "SALE" if you would believe in me " John 11:40(NLT)"Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believe?" The Holy Spirit just ministered to me now that it is like seeing money land in your house without your effort .
5.The three Hebrew boys where thrown into the fire , but before then sir/ma one would have thought , why did God not rescue them first before they where thrown into the fire.He had a purpose and plan for the "fire" .Key - God would not allow you to go through your "fire" without a purpose (Isaiah 14:24).Certain enemies in your life will never bow to your God unless they see and experience His supremacy over them .Daniel 3:29(NLT)"Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue like this!"
6.When God says all things are possible with Him , many of His children today still struggle with this truth because of their human nature. When God allows a problem to persist ,is simply a divine set -up for the impossible to become possible so we would believe in Him more and not doubt when He says a thing next time .Sarah laughed , but what happened ? God did the impossible even in her old age .When it looks impossible , get ready for the possible . For it is written all things are possible with God . Luke 1:37(Amp)"For with God nothing [is or ever] shall be impossible.”
7.When God needed to give His children water to drink in the wilderness . What did He do? He brought water out of a rock to give them drink.What is He saying here ? Friend do you realise that when God decides to bless /favour you, He can use the most hardened person , even a non - christian/believer to bless you beyond your imagination .Isaiah 60:16(NLT)"Powerful kings and mighty nations will satisfy your every need, as though you were a child nursing at the breast of a queen. You will know at last that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel."
8.When God wants to teach you how to pray fervent prayers, prayers that carry tremendous power .He allows your enemy to swallow you first , not to kill you , but for you to pray deligently , before He finally comes to your rescue .Listen your problem is not out to kill you , but to make you a terror to the Kingdom of darkness , when you get down on your knees to pray . Jonah 2:1,2(Amp)"Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish, 2 and said,“I called out of my trouble and distress to the Lord,And He answered me;Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, And You heard my voice."
9.When God needed to feed Elijah in the wilderness , what did He do?One would have thought , He would use one of the prophet's to bring him food from home . He didn't . Rather He sent Ravens (flesh eaters) to bring the very food they would have love to eat .What is He saying here ? When the Lord commands even your worst enemies to feed you, listen they have no option but to comply and obey .1 Kings 17:9(Amp)"“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
10.God commanded Elijah to go to Zarephath for He "God" told him He has commanded a widow there to take care of him. Is it not funny to you that with all that hope and encouragment from God , when Elijah got there to his surprise , even the widow needed help ."hmm" . Now if Elijah had complained on the spot ,he would have missed it , if he had left angrily , he still would have missed it . What is God saying here ? When God says a thing , your circumstances is subject to conform to the word that God has spoken .barren or no barren land it doesn'r make any difference ! Believe and act on whatever He has spoken . Isaiah 55:11(Amp)"So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;It will not return to Me void (useless, without result),Without accomplishing what I desire,And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."

God's will quote:

“In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three times that a certain cup might pass from Him. It did not.” ― C.S. Lewis.  but you and I know who Jesus is today !! Saviour of the world .

Prayer :Father grant me the grace to understand your ways and comply without complaining in the name of Jesus , knowing that it is all working for my good in Jesus mighty name , Amen.

You are favoured !! Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 55:8(NLT)




""My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine."

10 WAYS OF GOD THAT WILL BE A BLESSING TO YOU .PART 1


NB: THE MANY WAYS OF GOD ARE TOO DEEP FOR THE HUMAN MIND TO COMPREHEND.IT IS INFINTE .ROMS 11:33"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"



1.Rejection - Rejection comes before acceptance . Jesus was rejected by His own people (the jews) but received by gentiles (unbelievers). So wherever you have being rejected , don't allow it to discourage you ,is a sign of your acceptance , once you pass through the school of rejection . 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!"
2.Grief - Is one of the ways God uses in preparing us for the joy ahead . Why the grief ? It humbles our flesh and brings us into obedience to God's word .A man of sorrows is not hard for him to obey whatever God says . He becomes willing to obey because of the grief he is passing through. Heb 5:8(NLT)"Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered."
3.Disappointments - When God wants to teach us how to trust Him and have no confidence in man , He simply allows them to disappointment us as many times as we still choose to put our trust in man . Once we learn how to trust Him alone , He begins to do greater works through us and in us because we trust Him. Jer 17:5,6"This is what the Lord says:“ Cursed is the one who trusts in man,who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.6That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,in a salt land where no one lives.7“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose
confidence is in him."
4.Oppression- Nobody likes oppression. When God wants to train us in the act of praying and adoration of Him , He can allow it , just to keep us on our feet in prayer . Oppression has a way of destroying the spirit of slothfulness and laziness .Why? we are on our feet. why? we want it to end .Isaiah 14:3"And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,"
5.Long Silence -At times when God wants us to seek Him with all our heart and mind . He might just choose to remain silent. You don't hear His voice like you use too . His silence is like a message He sends
across to you , that He needs your attention .Jer 29:13(NIV)"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
6.Shame - God can also allow you to suffer shame when He wants to break you and mould you back up again .Jesus despised the shame He suffered in scripture because of what was ahead of Him. When we go through shame is simply a sign we bear the marks of our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . If we go through the shame , get ready friend , we shall also go through the praise and fame . Zech 8:19b(NLT)" I will give glory and fame to my former exiles, wherever they have been mocked and shamed."
7.Reproach -God uses our reproach to fine - tune us, so we can become like Jesus. It is in our reproach we learn of His compassionate nature and mercy . you cannot show mercy or have compassion on others , except you have being shown. Lam 3:32"Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love."
8.Hostile Environment - He uses this environment to press out the "anointing" He has deposited in us out. The anointing helps us to survive in a hostile environment and at the same time bring light to them that are still in darkness . Isaiah 60:2(NLT)"Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you."
9.Joy in the midst of pain - It activates the anointing and brings down His presence into our situation for a testimony .Scripture says it shall "turn" meaning when He comes down , there is going to be a turning if we choose to remain joyful in the midst of the pain/shame. Luke 21:13"And it shall turn to you for a testimony." .John 15:11(NLT)"I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!"
10.Afflictions - He allows "afflictions" for many reasons . permit me to just name a few . 1. to humble us 2. to kill pride 3.to learn obedience 4.to grow more spiritually 5. to harden our faith 6.to live above sin. Isaiah 48:10(NLT)"I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering."

Jesus quote :

"Jesus replied, "You don't understand now what I am doing, but someday you will." John 13:7 (NLT)



Prayer : Father teach me your ways and help me to obey them in Jesus mighty name I pray , Amen.


you re blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF LUKE 5:5 (Amp ) I SENSE A STRONG URGE TO RE-POST THIS LESSON FOR SOMEONE NOT TO GIVE UP , BUT TO TRY ONE MORE TIME . GOD BLESS YOU .




"And Simon(Peter) answered, Master , we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets] .But on the ground of Your word , I will lower the nets [again].





10 POWERFUL KEYS - IF YOU WOULD TRY AGAIN.



1.I want to encourage you from this scripture ; to "pray it again" . I don't know that challenge in your life ; but I know if you pray it again in faith , something will happen in the name of Jesus ,Amen. Why ? Here is the key from the book of James 5:18 ( Amp) "And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]. "When he prayed again " the windows of heaven was opened and the rain (blessings) came down . Amen. Pray it again !
2. Worship and praise Him again . Do it again. You never know how close you are to your testimony , until you do it again one more time . Amen. Why ? This is the key in the book of Psalm 50:23 (Amp version) " 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 demostrate the salvation of God." Your thanksgiving and praise is what prepares the way for your deliverance .Appreciate him one more time and see him demonstrate his power in your life !Amen.
3. Sow that seed again, do it again . why? When your cloud is full, just one simple gift again ,can burst your heavens open .Why ? This is the key from the book of Eccl 11:3a (Amp version) " If the clouds are full of rain ,they empty themselves upon the earth;" One more seed can just be the very miracle you have being waiting for all these years !!
4. Give again, do not despise that seed, it might be very small , but here is the catch , God can still use it to bring in your harvest of blessings . How? This is the key found in the book of Luke 9:13a "But he said unto them , Give ye them to eat.And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes;" Amen. That was what Jesus needed to perform the miracle . Is not what you have that really does the miracle ; but the obedience behind what you have. Luke 6:38a "Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure , pressed down , and running over , shall men give into your bosom." !Amen. The boy gave five loaves , he got back twelve baskets full of loaves. Don't doubt what God can do? . Give it with expectation of what you desire to get in return. Matt 9:29. May the Lord honour your faith today as you do in Jesus name ,Amen.
5. Sing a new song . Just sing a new song of praise and worship again . why? This is the key found in the book of Isaiah 54:4 "SING O barren , thou that didst not bear ; break forth into singing, and cry aloud , thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife , saith the Lord " Your testimonies will be more than those that already have testimonies . Sing with joy ! Sing !Amen.
6. Be joyful again , why? you can only birth the promises of God when you remain joyful.(John 15:11) And your joy is found when you meditate on His promises .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."
7.Forgive again , you cannot remain joyful if you continue to harbour grudges in your heart .forgive again and enjoy true freedom . Let it go , so you can have access to God's blessing .Eph 4:31(NIV)"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice."
8.Ask again - At times we get tired of asking the lord for help .Don't relent , remember the story Jesus told us in scripture of the persistent widow woman in the book of Luke 18:1-8.If you refuse to relent , you will get it .Luke 18:8(NLT)"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you."
9.Seek Him again - don't conclude it just yet , by giving up. Remember Abraham who against hope still believed in hope and he got his miracle "Isaac" at the end . Gen 21:3(NLT)"And Abraham named their son Isaac."
10. Magnify Him above that situation again . Let Him know that He is bigger than your problems , far greater than your challenges and that He is a faithful God amen. Dare Him . Eph 3:20 (Amp)"Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,".




Prayer : Father the grace to do it again , grant it to me now in Jesus name , Amen.



YOU HAVE WON !JESUS IS LORD !

Hi , you re blessed . Anytime you don't see a post from me , just put me in prayers .The enemy fights so hard to see that I don't . lol .

See Heb 13:5 (Amp version).

God bless you ! Ve a great day .

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MATT 13:25




"But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."



10 KEYS THAT WILL HELP YOU TO IDENTIFY THE "TARES" IN CHURCH



1.They always come "like" light , but re not.. 2 Cor 11:14(NLT)"But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."
2.They have good works , but with a wrong motive .Prov 16:2"All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, But the LORD weighs the motives."
3.Pretence is their very nature .Prov 23:7"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."
4.They are not of God and can never be , since it was the enemy that planted them in church .Rev 3:9"I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are
liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you."
5.They can never get along with true children of God , because they are from different camps.Prov 29:27"An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked."
6.Their true loyalty is to the enemy and not to God .John 8:44(NIV)"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to
the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
7.They are always pained when they see God 's children make progress. Psalm 112:10 "The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish."
8.A sharp level of discernment can reveal them . Hebrews 5:14 "But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil."
9.Their mission is simple to bring confusion and enmity  amongst members in church . Why ? Scripture explains this better .1 Cor 14:33 (NLT)"For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God's holy people."
10.Once they are through with their mission , they leave the church and head for another one . John 10:10 (NLT)"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."


They must be stopped !!Prayer - This very day , I command every tares in the church my father did not plant , be uprooted now in the name of Jesus , Amen.Matt 15:13


be blessed!!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF HEBREWS 10:23(Amp)




"Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; "


10 WAYS TO HOLD FAST TO YOUR CONFESSION



1.Faith - Have what I call unwavering kind of faith . Once God has shown you by faith "the picture" don't doubt it .Listen the rains of life will try to steal that picture from your imagination , the floods of life
will come to test  the quality of your faith and the winds of life will hit you , all to stop you from holding fast to what you have seen . Refuse and still choose delibrately to believe God. Mark 11:22"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God."
2.Prayer - It sustains your faith and gives you the grace to continue to hold fast to your expectations . As you offer unto the lord prayers of thanksgiving , praise , adoration and supplication unto Him.Remember how Elijah held on to his confession that there was a sound of "abundance of rain " in prayer , that even when the servant came back the sixth time to inform him that there was no sign of rain , he still held unto that confession in prayer and you and I know what happened after that . 1 Kings 18:41,45(Amp)" Now Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of the roar of an abundance of rain.”45a." In a little while the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and there were heavy showers."
3.Trust -grows better in adversity. so even when the enemy is fighting that "trust" that you hold for God with doubt and fear , it is still growing. The more you trust Him the more it grows until the time for your expectations to manifest .NOTE: Heb 10:38(Amp)"But My righteous one [the one justified by faith] shall live by faith [respecting man’s relationship to God and trusting Him];And if he draws back [shrinking in fear], My soul has no delight in him."
4.Joy is a force in the spirit realm - That has the power of bringing our confessions into manifestation . Why ? joy is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit and where there is joy , God is fully represented there
.Psalm 16:11(Amp)"You will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy;In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
5.Believe - Here is the key - believe and continue to believe . The more you believe, the more your faith in what you believe grows. The enemy wants you to turn your back for one simple reason . John 11:40 (Amp)"Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe [in Me], you will see the glory of God [the expression of His excellence]?” "what you believe"
6.Study the word - The word of God is spirit and it is life (John 6:63). The more you study the word, the more life you have , the more you study the word the more the word , the life of the word grows in your spirit .Is like a child when you get to your adulthood in the word you are set for your manifestation . What you believe will happen live . 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."
7.Study other christian materials - I tell you one secret here , a lot has being hidden in books ,people don't read . Alot of revelations concerning what you believe , that God has revealed to His Saints world wide .so you find out those books and you read them , they give you more insight into what you believe and helps you to become fully persuaded about it. Amen. Prov 24:5b"The wise are mightier than the strong, and
those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger."
8.Stay off sin - This can hinder your harvest .Everything you do might be right,your faith , prayer etc. but the truth is sin is a blocker. It will stop anything from manifesting in your life. It turns the eyes of
God away from us . But glory to God , there is room for repentance . Amen. Isaiah 55:7(NLT)"Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously."
9.Fasting - There is no way round this . Why? there are forces in the spiritual realms that if you don't fast and pray , it will delay your miracle . Daniel had to fast and pray , we all read what the Angel said
to Him , when he came .Daniel 10:13 (NLT)"But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia."
10.Hold fast to your praises and thanksgiving - Don't stop praising God and thanking Him for it . It builds your faith and keeps your  expectations alive .Pslam 50:23(Amp)He who offers a sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving honors Me;And to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him],I shall show the salvation of God."
EXTRA POINT :
11. Trust the lord and whenever you have the opportunity , keep doing good. Amen. Gal 5:9(Amp)" Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in."


Prayer : Father help me to hold fast to my confessions in the mighty name of Jesus , Amen.


you re blessed!!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JAMES 4:7 (NIV)



"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."





10 THINGS SATAN IS AFRAID OF IN YOUR LIFE .




1.Prayer - Satan dreads your prayer life . Why? A lot can happen when you pray fervently . his kingdom can  suffer greatly when you go down on your knees and pray to the lord of the universe. Elijah prayed " raw" fire fell from haven. 2 Kings 18:38(NIV)"Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench." . Jesus offered a simple prayer of thanksgiving five loaves and two fishes turned into twelve basket remaining . (Mark 6:41) . Now here is the key -Luke 1:37(NLT)"For nothing is impossible with God." with God when you pray , all things are possible .'
2.Giving financially - breaks his hold over your finances especially when it is done with joy and love .2 Cor 9:7 (Amp)"Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]."
3.Fellowship with other believers - he fears this one , because he knows that is where you can get help , information that can nail that problem in your life forever. Prov 11:9b (Amp)"But through knowledge and discernment the righteous will be rescued." says it better .And the church is where we gain more knowledge about who we really are in Christ.
4.Your testimony - Is somebody's prophecy . And when they key into it by believing it too , it can also happen for them . so your testimony brings more trouble for him and his demons . Psalm 66:16 "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul."
5.Faith - He dreads your faith . why ? Jesus Himself said nothing shall be impossible unto you , if you have faith .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."
6.Praise -he knows when you praise God , God comes to the scene and when He does the impossible becomes possible .Psalm 67:5-7 (Amp)"Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];God, our God, blesses us. God blesses us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder]."
7.Worship - This one I know , God loves worship and Satan can't stand God's presence , if you are a true worshipper . John 4:23(Amp)"But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers."
8. your confidence in God - Is like God telling him to get lost .1 peter 4:11a(Amp)"Whoever speaks [to the congregation], is to do so as one who speaks the oracles (utterances, the very words) of God. "
9.joy - he is afraid of your joy . Why? that is where you find God . Psalm 16:11(Amp)"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
10.when you study and meditate on the word - he knows once you know the truth , you are free from all his attacks and harassment .Joshua 1:8(Amp)"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be [a]successful. "



prayer : Father disgrace the works of Satan in my life in the name of Jesus , Amen.


Be blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ROMS 8:25(NIV)




"But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."





10 KEYS TO WAITING PATIENTLY FOR WHAT WE DO NOT YET HAVE.




 
1.Never fret- never fret yourself because of the delay ,never fret yourself because of little irritations that come distract you , while you wait. key- trust in the lord and focus your mind on the end result. Psalm 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
2.Hold your peace - your peace is key in your waiting. Why is that ? what you are expecting is connected to your peace .your peace is the key that will unlock your door of blessing .Job 22:21(ISV)""Get to know God, and you'll be at peace with him, and then prosperity will come to you."
3.faith - faith grows better in the dark . Why? because you can't see it in the physical , but your faith is growing to match up with what you re waiting on the lord for . Once your faith level is right , your miracle believe will burst forth without you even knowing . Mark 4:27-29 (Amp)"27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up every day, and [in the meantime] the seed sprouts and grows; how [it does this], he does not know.28 The earth produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head [of grain], then the mature grain in the head. 29 But when the crop ripens, he immediately puts in the sickle [to reap], because [the time for] the harvest has come.”
4.Be focused - Don't allow anything to distract your focus . Despise the shame like Jesus did and focus on your prize/ reward . Heb 12:2b (Amp)"who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [a]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work]."
5.Continue in worship and thanksgiving always- He has promised you , you know it is done! but you re still yet to see it.

4.Be persistent in the word without wavering - For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.(Matt 12:34b) . When the word becomes  persistent in your spirit ,that "devil" or problem troubling your life will leave you alone .Remember how Jesus dealt with Satan in scripture .He told him (Satan) it is written . What is inside will always come out when it becomes persistent with your spirit being .Matt 4:3,4(NIV)"The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these
stones to become bread."Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

"Oh no sir!" she replied . 'I haven't been drinking wine or anything stronger .But I am very discouraged, and I was pouring out my heart to the Lord."


10 KEYS - WHEN YOU FEEL REALLY DISCOURAGED ! .(Re-edited)


1.Peace - When faced with the spirit of discouragement at times , we tend to lose our peace and give in to depression and sadness . No! your peace in Christ is what will sustain you when discouragement comes . While in that atmosphere of discouragement , choose deliberately to hold your peace , while God is at work . Key - Job 22:21(Amp)"Now yield and submit yourself to Him [agree with God and be conformed to His will] and be at peace; In this way [you will prosper and great] good will come to you."
2.Watch your thoughts at such times , if you continue to think about what is happening to you or the situation you are facing , you are going to fall for it . No ! deliberately choose to think what God's word says concerning it and be hopeful .Phil 4:8(Amp)" Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]."
3.Sit down to study the word - Is not a time to start telling everyone that cares to listen your story , they also have their own problems too. Sit down in His presence and study .It is in His presence , He comes to encourage you , not outside. 2 Cor 1:3 (Amp)"Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort."
4.Prayer - prayer of petition , prayer of thanksgiving very important . Don't fall for the discouragement even for a second , rise to the occasion quickly and do what Jesus did ..in His moment of discouragement , He prayed the more .Luke 22:44(Amp)"And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His [a]sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground."
5. Joy - Is the opposite of allowing the spirit of discouragement to set in . And how do you hold on to that joy in the midst of discouragement ? by giving Him thanks concerning what He has promised you with joy . You might not even understand it , but it works. Isaiah 12:3(NIV)"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Like Psalm 37:4 .."Father I still thank you , because your word says if I take delight in you , you would grant me the secret petitions of my heart " . Key - play your role by faith and let Him answer you by faith . Mark 11:22 (Amp)" Jesus replied, “Have faith in God[constantly].
6. If you can it helps too - Worship - you can sing a song of worship or play songs of worship and just soak yourself in His presence . When He comes , there is no way you will not be lifted and be encouraged again . See the life of David in the book of psalm 63:1"I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.".He worshipped ! David enjoyed the mercies of God because he was a worshipper .
7.Bridle your tongue - Don't be tempted to speak negatively now . Hold your peace and allow the Holy Spirit to put the right words in your mouth to speak . Amen .Isaiah 50:4"The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned."
8.Continue to sow your good seeds and let it not discourage you . If you have an opportunity to help someone still go ahead and do it . key - Psalm 37:3 (NLT)"Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.". It works.
9.Guard your heart because Satan is going to come after it to see that you are discouraged . shut him off . And be positive . confess and say to your self " my God will make it to work for my good in Jesus name , amen. I am His child , period !! Roms 8:28(NLT)"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
10.Finally go into your closet and just thank Him , don't mind the tears ,never let go of your faith and trust in the lord . still appreciate Him and give Him all the glory . Amen. 1 Thess 5:18 (NLT)"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

prayer - father I thank you because I know it is well with me in Jesus name , Amen.( see Isaiah 3:10 NLT)


be blessed !

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK of 2 COR 7:9,10



" As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death."



10 KEYS - THE MYSTERY BEHIND YOUR PAIN .


1.Pain has a way of purifying your spirit and drawing you closer to God .Isaiah 48:10 (NLT)"I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering."
2.Pain has a way of building up your trust in God .Why? the enemy has nothing to offer , as he is the one behind your pains in the first place. "The thief comes only that he might steal and might kill and might
destroy". so who do you now trust Satan or Jesus who has come to give you life and more life abundantly.(wealth in its totality)". I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." John 10:10(BLB)
3.Pain has a way of driving your faith into the deep for the unusual. Peter toiled all night long and caught nothing. when the opportunity came for him to cast down his net into the deep , he told Jesus at "thy word" I will do it again . The pain he felt drove his faith into the deep for a draught . Luke 5:5,6 (NLT)" “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” 6 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear!"
4.Pain drives you the more to pray more fervently . Why ? At such times you desperately need an answer from God . you doubt it , ask Hannah from the book of 1 Samuel 1 :10,11(NLT)"10 Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord. 11 And she made this vow: “O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.”
5.Pain can push you into a fast . It was the pains David felt in scripture that lead him into a fast . Some problems at times will not just go , until you cry unto the lord in fasting and prayers. Psalm 42:2,3(NLT)"I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying, “Where is this God of yours?”
6.Pain has a way of opening our eyes to see the vanities of life. For at the end of the day all the material things of life cannot even pay for one soul .Luke 8:25 (NLT)"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?".
7.Pain has a way of destroying secret pride and bringing us down in humility before our maker, when we realise that without Him we are nothing . John 15:5 (NLT)"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches.
Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. "Truly without the word in your life ,nothing works .Why? we live in a demonic infested world. The word in our lives is what stops Satan from destroying us .
8.Pain has a way of driving your spirit into deep meditation , as you seek God with all your heart for relief from your pain . Jer 29:13 (Amp)"Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."
9.Pain has a way of drawing from the deep , mysteries from the word of God . Most times when I catch deep revelation from the word , it simply came out of the pain I was going through at that moment of my life . The great Apostle Paul said in scriptures 2 cor 12:10 (NLT)"That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when
I am weak, then I am strong." Paul became who he was , from the pains he suffered . A man of great insight.
10.Pain can also lead to hatred for sin . Why? some of the pains we go through at times is as a result of our disobedience to God's word .It can be as simple as pray so you won't fall into temptation . what happened ? we didn't . so who do you blame ? Luke 22:40 (NIV)"On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."



QUOTES ON PAIN

Pain removes the veil; it plants the flag of truth within the fortress of a rebel soul. ~ C.S. Lewis



I am not a theologian or a scholar, but I am very aware of the fact that pain is necessary to all of us. In my own life, I think I can honestly say that out of the deepest pain has come the strongest conviction of the presence of God and the love of God. ~ Elizabeth Elliot



God never allows pain without a purpose in the lives of His children. He never allows Satan, nor circumstances, nor any ill-intending person to afflict us unless He uses that affliction for our good. God never wastes pain. He always causes it to work together for our ultimate good, the good of conforming us more to the likeness of His Son (see Romans 8:28- 29). ~ Jerry Bridges.







Prayer : father see me through my pains lord in Jesus mighty name I pray , Amen.







God bless you !! lots of love friend . God bless you .

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MARK 4:29b(Msg)

"Then Jesus said, “God’s kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows—he has no idea how it happens. The earth does it all without his help: first a green stem of grass, then a bud, then the ripened grain. When the grain is fully formed, he reaps—harvest time!"



10 KEYS THAT WILL HELP YOU BEFORE YOUR GRAIN IS  FULLY FORMED .(Re-Edited)




1.While you wait for your grain (your desired expectation) to manifest . you need to pray without ceasing. (1 Thess 5:17) There are moments you would get tired , but every day you pray, you get closer to your miracle . In the kingdom of God some miracles take time , while others happen in an instant . but if yours have not happened yet , keep praying , it is still "gathering" in the heavenly realms ,once your cloud is full , nothing can stop it .Believe!! . Eccl 11:3a"If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth:"
2.Grow in knowledge - Listen , the more you grow in knowledge , the more convinced you become of your miracle , the more strength you get to pray even the more , the more your faith becomes strong . plants don't grow over-nite , but it starts from inside the ground , even when you can't see anything , something is happening in the spirit realms , your miracle is forming and when it is time , that job will come , that
matter will be settled , that spouse will show up in the name of Jesus , believe only ! Prov 24: 5, 10 . Eccl 3:1"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Don't give up , listen just at the right time , your grain (expectation) will manifest ! Amen.
3.Fasting - At times when we become weak and weary from the long wait , we tend to doubt , if it will come to pass .lol. it will !! Amen. What you do at such times , when you get weary , you need to build on your spiritual muscles by fasting and prayer . Choose a time and a day to seek God in prayer and fasting . Don't be anxious , but believe God to do it and He will in Jesus name , Amen. Fasting strengthens your faith and causes you to fly like an Eagle . Isa 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."
4.Trust - Without trust your grain cannot be fully formed . so trust is very important . work more on your trust through prayers and study of the word . The more you study the word the more your trust in Him is
built . 2 Tim 2:15(Amp)" Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth."
5.Keep your praise on - In the midst of your trial , test , challenge ,keep your praise on is key if you desire to see your grain fully formed . Why? Anywhere God is , there is progress and growth . psalm 22:3(Amp)"But You are holy,O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered]."
6. Maintain your worship - True worshippers worship God not because of the grain , but because of who He is (GOD). And God will always settle His true worshippers with the full grain . 1 peter 5:10 "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."
7.Load your cloud with thanksgiving . keep thanking God for the grain (your expectations) and you shall surely see what you are thanking Him for . John 20:29 (Amp)"Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed [in Me].”
8.Offence - Always reject offence whenever it comes . offence stops your grain from growing . stop the offence , forgive if you need to and put your trust and focus on the one who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light . Amen.John 16:1 (NLT)"I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith." Heb 12:2 (Amp)" [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [a]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work]."
9. Continue to sow and don't stop sowing - it quickens the harvest of your grain . For God loves to bless sowers . 2 Cor 9:8(Amp)" And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in
abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity."
10.Confess right and hold tightly to your confession without wavering . God is too faithful to lie . What you believe you will surely see . Heb 10:23 (Amp)"Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope
without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word];" and Luke 1:37 (Amp)" For with God nothing [is or ever] shall be impossible.”



Prayer : Father quicken my grain (miracle) in Jesus name , Amen.


you are blessed!!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF MARK 1:13(Amp)


"He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted [to do evil] by Satan; and He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered continually to Him."

1.Faith - The opposite of faith is fear . And the only way for you to access the one who can bring you out of your wilderness experience is by faith and one of the ways to work your faith is by constant study of the
word . The more knowledge of the word you have the more strenght that comes from the word to see you through your wilderness experience . Isaiah 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."
2.Worship- Is what helps you to fan your faith . Why? when you worship Him , His presence comes in to refresh your spirit , soul and body . His presence cannot come to leave you dry , but to build your faith and give you hope of surviving your wilderness experience . Roms 15:13 (NLT)"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."
3.Trust -you need to just trust Him . Stop looking at the facts , it will only discourage you . The truth (His word) has the power of changing the facts . So here is the key , you dwell more on the truth , rather than on the facts . Isaiah 26:4 (Amp)"Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]."
4.Believe - What do you believe ? In your wilderness experience always remember you are under trial , test of your faith . The enemy is allowed for a season to test the quality of your faith in God (see above verse of scripture) . Now here is the key and remember this verse of scripture always -John 11:40 (Amp)" Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe [in Me], you will see the glory of God [the expression of His excellence]?” if you believe is the key , so you don't quit believing the promise that it will surely come to pass in your life . Amen.
5.What do you see ? what you see is what God confirms .So what you see , is of utmost importance in your wilderness experience . you ought to see yourself coming out of it , you ought to see your self with a child if that is what you are believing God to do for you. Whatever you want to see , picture it in your imagination and let God work on what you are seeing . Amen. Jer 1:11,12 (Amp)"The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see the branch of an [b]almond tree.” 12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.”
6.Stay "off" offence - In your wilderness experience , offence would block your faith from working . It will hinder you from believing God to work it out for you . offence can even lead you to doing it yourself ,
acting your flesh , which can cost you dearly if you re not careful . So the key is stay off offence and just believe God and pray - Roms 8:28 "Father make this experience to wwork for my good in Jesus name , amen. Luke 7:23 (BSB)"Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me."
7.Prayer - In our wilderness experience is very normal for us to get tired at times when we don't see answers to our prayers. But listen God answer prayers . Remember the story Jesus told us in the book of Luke 18:1-8 and at the end of the story , he encouraged us to be persistent in our faith . be persistent in prayer , one more hit can just be what will do your miracle for you . Amen. Matt 7:7 (Amp)"Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you."
8.Do not be weary in will doing - Keep on doing the will of God. Don't be discouraged , but know this truth in due season you will surely receive a harvest of blessings .As long as you have the opportunity keep
doing His will is your gate way out of your wilderness experience. Gal 6:9 (Amp)"Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in."
9.Encourage yourself - Friend in your wilderness expereince most times you are all by yourself , you need to encourage yourself with the word (Roms 15:4).listen to messages and continue to build your faith in the lord. For when it is time , God is going to act swiftly and bring you out of your wilderness . Amen . Isaiah 60:22 (NIV)"The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly."
10.Thanksgiving - God loves it when we appreciate Him in the midst of our storms and give Him thanks . Thanksgiving is one of the fastest ways of coming out of your wilderness . just appreciate Him now and
thank Him for allowing you to red this . Amen. 1 Thess 5:18(Amp)"in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in
Christ Jesus."

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF DANIEL 3:26

 

"Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnance , and spake , and said , Shadrach ,Meshach , and Abed-nego , ye servants of the most high God, come forth ,and hither .Then Shadrach ,Meshach , and Abed-nego , came forth of the midst of the fire."




10 KEYS - THE MYSTERY OF YOUR FIRE EXPERIENCE . Re- edited



1. Your faith will be tested with fire. But never give up, when you are tested . The reward after the test , is way beyond your imagination. Heb 10:35" Do not , therefore , fling away your fearless confidence for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward." From my little knowledge of God. When he says you willbe adequately rewarded for your suffering , hmm ! Eph 3:20 (Amp)just for the hint." Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,."
2. Your fire experience is never pleasant in the beginning ; but the rewards at the end of your experience is awesome . Is like seeing a rich kid with a sweet attitude . hmm , it smells nice. James 1:12 (Amp)"Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."
3. I realise from experience, the fire doesn't really destroy you ; but prepares you for your true purpose .Isaiah 48:10(Amp)"Indeed, I have refined you, but not as [a]silver; I have tested and chosen you in the furnace of affliction."
4. Your fire experience will always bring out the right attitude in you . why? Is always inside your "fire" you learn obedience. Heb 5:8" Though he were a Son , yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered."
5. The anointing upon your life is for your "fire" experience not outside your fire "experience". Isa 43:2 "When thou passest through the waters ,I will be with thee ; and through the rivers , they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire , thou shalt not be burned ;neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." You were anointed to bring light to the darkness around you . Isaiah 60:2 says "For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
6. Storms will come to prove your loyalty to the one you truly serve. wow, It is in your fire experience , you will truly know whether you have been serving God or not. lol. Matt 6:24(Amp)" “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord]."
7.The lord laid in my heart early hours of this morning , while I was typing this , that so many of his children have dumped their greatness for a lesser one; because they gave up too soon. if only they had waited ; if only they had gone through it . Many he said are divorced today , because they got married to the wrong person. Many are employees not employers of labour .He gave me this scripture Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strenght ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles ; they shall run and not be weary ; and they shall walk and not faint." Your waiting is not in vain ; it is to prepare you !
8.When facing your fire experience , always allow the holy Spirit to lead and guide you , if not, you would come out with costly errors.Roms 8:14."For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,they are the sons of God.".
9.When faced with your fire experience , learn from the three Hebrew boys in scripture . They never negotiated the "word" with Nebuchadnezzar . And what happened next was their "testimony" . Refuse to negotiate with the enemy , God is about to make you a testimony in Jesus mighty name , Amen. When it comes to the word of God you don't negotiate with the enemy . Psalm 126:1 (Amp)"When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion (Jerusalem),We were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].". Listen , it will turn !! Stay on the word .
10. The fire purifies you and brings out in you a more spiritually matured appearance.1 Cor 13:11 "When I was a child I spake as a child ,I thought as a child :but when I became a man, I put away childish things ."



YOUR REAL BEAUTY IS HIDDEN INSIDE YOUR FIRE !LET IT PURIFY YOU , SO YOU CAN COME OUT AS PURE AS FINE GOLD.A SWEET SMELLING FRAGRANCE UNTO THE LORD.AMEN.


Prayer : Father purify me with your fire in the name of Jesus , Amen.

Be blessed.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ROMANS 4:18 (NIV)
"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

10 KEYS - THE MYSTERY BEHIND HOPE . Re - Edited. DON'T LOSE HOPE !!            
1. Faith - you just need to trust God and have faith in what He has promised you . Now what is faith ? NLT version of Heb 11:1a says " Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen ." Listen if you doubt your faith , you would lose hope, remember what Jesus told the disciples in Mark 11:22(Amp) "And Jesus ,replying, said to them , Have faith in God [ constantly ]. Amen.
2.Trust - your trust is what God uses to unlock your miracle . you just need to trust Him on this one, when you can't even see anything like hope in sight. hear what scripture says in the book of Psalm 62:8 (NLT)"O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him , for God is our refuge." The key is trusting Him at all times. Now here is the key that unlocks it . Psalm 37:40 - The reason why He will do it is for the simple truth that you "trust " Him. period! Psalm 37:40 "And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him."
3.Knowledge - One thing I know will sustain you against all hope is what you know about the truth in God's word . If what you know is small your strenght will be small (Prov 24:10) but if what you know is much , just like Abraham against all hope bible says his faith was strong and he kept giving glory to God.you would not lose hope. why? you already know your situation will definately change for the better . Amen. Job said in the book of Job 14:14 (Amp)"If a man dies, will he live again?I will wait all the days of my struggle Until my change and release will come." What happened ? It came . yours will come too in Jesus name , Amen.
4.The voice of the Holy Spirit - One thing that has really sustain me when it looked like all hope was lost , is the voice of the Holy Spirit . As long as I heard His voice , it gave me hope . Why? See what I see "HOLY SPIRIT" - He cannot lie because His very nature is HOLY . So whatever He says , has to be the truth and this Spirit is the Spirit of our father (God ) living in us . So if God is still speaking in the midst of that hopeless case, don't ever doubt it . Whatever He is telling you is done .(Rev 21:6). And how does the Holy Spirit speak or one of the key ways you hear Him speak . John 16:13 (Amp)"13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future]."
5.Encourage yourself - Don't wait for anybody to encourage you , because most time you won't even find any . So this how you do it. Remember how God has being good to you in the past and how He has saved you before in time past, use it to build up your faith in Him again .Lam 3:21(Amp)"But this I call to mind,Therefore I have hope."
6.Never be agitated /panic - There is always the tendency for you to be . Don't ! work on your peace level and choose to trust Him.John 14:27 (Amp)" Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] ".
7.Joy - Is like an achor . I can always advice you on this one , because it has always worked for me till date . I never allow anything to steal my joy . Even against all hope , I delibrately activate my joy in expectation of His rescue . And guess what ? He has never failed me . Amen. key - Activate His joy/word/ promises in you and your own joy will overflow (Answers to your request) . John 15:11 (Amp)" have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing."
8.Remind Him of His promise - Scripture says we should not be silent , but to remind Him . Now against all hope is hard . But here is how the miracle works , when you begin to remind Him of what He has said ,His grace comes from that very promise (word) to give you hope that all is well . Isaiah 66:9 (NIV)" Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God." What is God saying here ? would I cause you to hope in me for nothing and there won't be any change in your life /situation".
9.Take advantage of His grace - watch out for grace when it comes upon you . Once you get that spiritual energy (grace) to pray again or just to worship Him again in the midst of that hopeless situation . Listen He has come , do not delay it and say I will do it later , Do it now ! worship Him now and pray now and you will see your hope fly again like a bird in the sky !! 2 Cor 12:9 (Amp)" but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. "
10.Finally - If you try to understand it , you miss it. (Prov 3:9) . He says in 1 Thess 5:18 (Amp)"in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." Key - when God says a thing , He is always right , always . So rather than try to understand why . Simply obey the God of sudden miracles , wonders , breakthroughs , favors etc. Isaiah 48:3 (Amp)"I have declared the former things [which happened to Israel] in times past;They went forth from My mouth and I proclaimed them;Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass."

Prayer : Father restore my hope again lord I pray in Jesus name , Amen.

you are a testimony !! Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF LUKE 5:5 (Amp version) (Re-edited)


 

"And Simon(Peter) answered, Master , we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets] .But on the ground of Your word , I will lower the nets [again]."





10 POWERFUL KEYS - IF YOU WOULD TRY AGAIN.



1.I want to encourage you from this scripture  to "pray it again" . I don't know that challenge in your life , but I know if you pray it again in faith , something will happen in the name of Jesus ,Amen. Why ? Here
is the key from the book of James 5:18 ( Amp version) "And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]. "When he prayed again " the windows of heaven was opened and the rain (blessings) came down . Amen. Pray it again !
2. Worship and praise Him again . Do it again. You never know how close you are to your testimony , until you do it again one more time . Amen. Why ? This is the key in the book of Psalm 50:23 (Amp version) " 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 demostrate the salvation of God." Your thanksgiving and praise is what prepares the way for your deliverance .Appreciate him one more time and see him demostrate his power in your life !Amen.
3. Sow that seed again, do it again . why? When your cloud is full, just one simple gift again ,can burst your heavens open .Why ? This is the key from the book of Eccl 11:3a (Amp version) " If the clouds are full of rain ,they empty themselves upon the earth;" One more seed can just be the very miracle you have being waiting for all these years !!
4. Give again, do not despise that seed, it might be very small , but here is the catch , God can still use it to bring in your harvest of blessings . How? This is the key found in the book of Luke 9:13a "But he
said unto them , Give ye them to eat.And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes;" Amen. That was what Jesus needed to perform the miracle . Is not what you have that really does the miracle , but the obedience behind what you have. Luke 6:38a "Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure , pressed down , and running over , shall men give into your bosom." !Amen. The boy gave five loaves , he got back twelve baskets full of loaves. Don't doubt what God can do? . Give it with expectation of what you desire to get in return. Matt 9:29. May the Lord honour your faith today as you do in Jesus name ,Amen.
5. Sing a new song . Just sing a new song of praise and worship again . why? This is the key found in the book of Isaiah 54:4 "SING O barren , thou that didst not bear ; break forth into singing, and cry aloud ,
thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife , saith the Lord " Your testimonies will be more than those that already have testimonies . Sing with joy ! Sing !Amen.
6. Be joyful again . why? you can only birth the promises of God when you remain joyful.(John 15:11) And your joy is found when you meditate on His promises .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."
7.Forgive again , you cannot remain joyful if you continue to harbour grudges in your heart .forgive again and enjoy true freedom . Let it go , so you can have access to God's blessing .Eph 4:31(NIV)"Get rid of all
bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice."
8.Ask again - At times we get tired of asking the lord for help .Don't relent , remember the story Jesus told us in scripture of the persistent widow woman in the book of Luke 18:1-8.If you refuse to relent , you
will get it .Luke 18:8(NLT)"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you."
9.Seek Him again - don't conclude it just yet , by giving up. Remember Abraham who against hope still believed in hope and he got his miracle "Isaac" at the end . Gen 21:3(NLT)"And Abraham named their son Isaac."
10. Magnify Him above that situation again . Let Him know that He is bigger than your problems , far greater than your challenges and that He is a faithful God amen. Dare Him . Eph 3:20 (Amp)"Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,".


Prayer : Father the grace to pursue you and not to relent give me that grace now in Jesus name , Amen.



YOU HAVE WON !JESUS IS LORD !

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF LUKE 19:22a (Re-edited)

"And he said unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant."


10 KEYS - WATCH YOUR MOUTH !! .


1. Note : God listens to every word we say ; especially in our trying moments, when we complain , murmur against him , threaten him "lol" ; he listens .Now here is the key - God does not change . If He has promised you , your challenges still cannot stop His promises for your life . So what do you do now ? you still sing His praises even if you haven't gotten that breakthrough "yet" still be encouraged about this truth from the book of Heb 13:5 (Amp)"Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”
2.Our words matter to God .Matt 12:37 says "For by thy words thou shalt be justified , and by thy words thou shalt be condemned" . In your trying moments watch it ,the enemy is just waiting for you to deny Jesus , the "truth" so he can use it against you. 2 Cor 2:11(Amp)" to keep Satan from taking advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes."
3.See, it was not the money that the servant was given that brought him into trouble ; but what he said ? If he had apologise or promised to invest the money soonest , maybe the master would have replied him differently . "Your miracle lies in your mouth" . Watch what you say !Prov 18:21 (Amp)"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words."
4.Your words can either promote you or demote you . The other servants where promoted , because they spoke the right words. Luke 19:17 (Amp)"And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you proved yourself faithful and trustworthy in a very little thing, you shall [now] have authority over ten cities [in my kingdom].’
5.Pharaoh spoke the wrong word and guess what happened to him and all the Egyptians ?. Exo 14:30 "Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians : and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore ." Don't say what you know is not right for you to say ! Amen.
6. Job spoke the right word and his words later freed him from the reproach he suffered .Job 14:14 "If a man die ,shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait , till my change come." What happen ? He saw what he said . His change came .Job 42:10 (Amp)"The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. "
7. Jesus spoke the right word all the time and what happened ? His words brought him recognition and fame . Matt 7:28 (Amp) "When Jesus had finished [speaking] these words [on the mountain], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed at His teaching; "
8. you honour God when you choose to do what He has commanded in His word  . 1 Thess 5:18 (Amp)"in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus."
9. In your times of trouble , remember what he said in the book of Numbers 14:28(Amp)"Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just what you have spoken in My hearing I will most certainly do to you; God is not a joker . He did it from the scripture we read above ..luke 19:22a
10.Finally, here is the key , we hold fast to our confession of the truth in the midst of our storms , knowing this " The God we serve , His name is called FAITHFUL . Heb 10:23 (Amp)" Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word];

prayer : Father help me to believe your word always and never to doubt in Jesus name , Amen.

Be blessed.
