LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JOHN 14:1 (Re-edited)



"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."




10 THINGS THAT WILL ALWAYS MAKE YOUR HEART TO BE TROUBLED


1. You feel what you are passing through now , will never end . Key - Learn to trust God and ask him to show you the way out . God speaks , except you are not listening . There is a way out . Isa 30:21"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."
2.We allow how heart to be troubled when we lose confidence in God . One key that has always helped me is prayer . Let your prayer life be constant . Roms 12:12(HSCB)"Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer."
3.Doubt - Remember what scripture told us in the book of James 1:6 , if you doubt , you cannot receive anything from him. And when you doubt , your heart becomes troubled . the cure therefore is your faith , work more on your faith , read the word more , listen to messages the more and your faith will be built up . Roms 10:17(NIV)"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."
4.When you allow your circumstances to overwhelm you , your heart becomes troubled. I share my testimony with you , in all my troubles , God has always proven His word to be true in my life . Psalm 46:1(HCSB)"For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. "
5.When we can't see any changes in our lives , despite all the prayers and thanksgivings , we begin to feel maybe God has abandoned us . But here is the secret , if you should look at your life spiritually again , you would observe that you have grown . Never assume that nothing is happening in your life , physically you can call it a fact , but spiritually , you are being prepared for a big miracle.1 peter 1:12-13(Msg)"12-13 Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner."6.Jesus warned us to always pray . Why? if you don't when temptations come , you would feel as if God has abandoned you .Wrong . you were not prepared .Luke 22:46(ESV)"and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
7.Jesus prayed for peter , that his faith should not fail him. Most times when our faith begins to fail us we become troubled , looks like God's word is not going to come to pass in our lives . wrong key- sharpen your faith by studying the word and listening to other peoples testimonies. Rev 12:11 (NIV)"They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."
8.When negative people are around you , they will never say anything positive , but to always remind you who failed in that particular business or idea that you have .Key - keep them at bay .Prov 13:20(NIV)"Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."
9.Focusing your mind on what people of the world have, will give you a troubled heart . bible has warned us not to envy them . God did not create any failure . so work on your trust in God. Prov 23:7(NLT)"Don't envy sinners, but always continue to fear the LORD." see verse 8 "there is an end to your troubles"
10.Thankful people are joyful people , a troubled heart will always find it hard to appreciate God .Key- joy builds up your expectations and leads you into thanking Him , even in the midst of the trouble. 1 Thess 5:18(NIV)"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

Troubled quote:


"I rejoice anytime I am troubled ,is a sign God is about to do something good for me " Anthony daniel oritse -buwawa

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

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


10 WAYS OF GOD PART 2 ( Thank you Jesus , for the people you have prepared to get this message ) thank you Jesus .

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, is working for your good . That is the reason you shouldn't give up now. 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.When God needed to arrange for Joseph to meet with pharaoh. 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 at 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 some 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  without a "SALE". 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" experience 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 diligently , 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 encouragement 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 LUKE 7:23(Re -edited)


"And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me."


10 KEYS - LIVING ABOVE OFFENCE



1. Let the word of God dwell richly in your spirit . why? God created man a spirit being and gave us his word as our spiritual food . the more you feed on the word the richer your spirit becomes .So anytime , the temptation to become offended comes , guess what happens ? The word springs out of you like a shield and puts off the fiery darts of the offence . Eph 6:16(NIV)"In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."
2.The joy of your expectations - when you walk constantly in joy , is like walking on water (the offence) to meet Jesus . How do you throw arrows of offence against someone whose spirit is already full of joy . (John 15:11) Am not saying is easy to do , but when you know this is what you ought to do to step above it , it becomes easy .Key- the joy of the lord is our strength (Neh 8:10) we become easily offended when our strength is weak . prov 24:10"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small."
3. I share my testimony to encourage you , I use to be easily offended in the past , but as I grew up spiritually , I prayed to the lord to give me a remedy for the offence and I was led to ask him , that anytime the offence comes , he should make me laugh. would you believe , He answered me !Pray and ask him for the grace not to be offended . pray it sincerely from your heart and I tell you , you would be amazed at the level of calmness that will always come upon you whenever an offence comes. Phil 4:6,7(Amp)"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
4.Live a life of thanksgiving - A man that appreciates God always for the good things he has done , will always see more good things happen in his life . 1 Peter 3:10 "For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:"
5. Remembering the blessing and not the offence , keeps you above always . If I know I am going to be blessed for it , I rather remind God of the blessing , than taking the offence as my reward . Zech 9:12b(NLT)"I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles."
6.Whenever offence comes , God speaks . be patient and listen for that still small voice . And when God speaks , better be sure is good news . 1 Kings 19:12(NIV)"After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper."
7.Offence normally comes to steal and rob you of your blessings . From experience I have learnt God sends his Angels to bless us every now and then every day, and I have come to realise too , that at that point , the demons are also on stand by to see that you don't get it . watch it . Key- learn to always hold your peace and receive that which is coming . Job 22:21"Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee."
8. God is the father of all comfort - He is the only one that can give you that needed comfort at the time of the offence . So talk to him first and fret not .2 cor 1:3 (NLT)"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. "
9.Be a master of your thoughts . Offence comes as a thought , and it is within your power to reject that thought or accept it . Reject it and deliberately think on things that are lovely , truthful , beautiful and good and in no time , you will find yourself smiling again . Amen. Phil 4:8(Amp)"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. "
10.Walk away from the offence - most times we are tempted to stay there . the atmosphere you create matters a lot . change scenery . go to another room , create a new atmosphere for your self . call a funny friend . deliberately change it . Jesus walked away .Luke 4:30(NIV)"But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way."

PRAYER : Father help me to live a life , that is above offence in Jesus name , Amen.

7. we can't get anything from God ; when we are impatient. Why? God himself is patient , so why shouldn't his own creature be? .Roms 15:5 "Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:"

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF PSALM 95:8-9(NASB) Re Edited

"Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness, "When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work. "



10 CONSEQUENCES OF A HARDENED HEART.

KEY :HEB 4:7 (MSG) God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today, just as he did in David’s psalm, centuries later than the original invitation:Today, please listen,    don’t turn a deaf ear . . .

1. A hardened heart cannot receive from God .Isaiah 44:18 (NIV)"They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand."
2.A hardened heart prefers to work with what he/she can understand .prov 3:5(NLT)"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding."
3. A hardened heart is never a friend of Jesus .John 15:14(NASB)""You are My friends if you do what I command you.
4. A hardened heart is a heart that refuses to yield to the voice of God . Matt 15:8 (NIV)"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."
5.A hardened heart only believes what he sees with his physical eyes. John 20:29(NIV)"Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
6.A hardened heart is a heart devoid of the spirit of joy. And without joy , there is no rope to draw out the promises of God in scripture. Isaiah 12:3(NIV)"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation."
7. A hardened heart will doubt everything, even the simplest instruction. Matt 14:31(NIV)"Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
8.A hardened heart is devoid of God 's love . How? Love believes all things.1 cor 13:7 (ESV)"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
9. When you fail to forgive , your heart becomes hardened. Eph 4:18" Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:"
10. A hardened heart can keep you in your wilderness , for some time , until there a change. Heb 3:8"Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:"



PRAYER : Father break me and give me a heart of flesh in Jesus name , Amen.



You will testify ! in Jesus name , Amen.
