God is INVOLVED

Looking back into year 2012, the journey had not been easy but God took all the glory.

Making God the all in all in our lives matters a lot.
The enemies will not stop trying but will not triumph because God is INVOLVED IN YOUR LIFE.

Everything in life breeds both positive and Negative.
Even if your negative encounter in 2012 outweighted the positive it does not mean 2013 will be thesame.

God has kept you till now for a purpose.

You can not fulfill that purpose until you stop making God a plan b or your hospital that you only go to when things are difficult or you are ill.

You need to make God your home(your dwelling place), you must find a place in your heart for Him and Him alone.

2012 had its dramas, high and low.
Be rest assured 2013 will have as well but how it goes, how you overcome is up to what CHOICE you make.

Some are making New Year Resolution that will not last more than the first week of January while some will last till mid or end of the year.

What ever decision you make friend INVOLVE YOUR CREATOR.

IT IS COMFORTING, ENCOURAGING, UPLIFTING AND ETERNAL EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS WHEN GOD IS IN IT.

HE CLEARS THE COAST IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM, BUT IT CAN NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT IT TAKES A GRADUAL WALK AND WORK WITH GOD.

REMEMBER ONCE A FAILURE DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO REMAIN A FAILURE.
ALSO ONCE A SUCCESS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY REMAIN A SUCCESS.

YOUR CHOICE WILL DETERMINE YOUR OUTCOME.

YES.
GOD CLEARS THE COAST IN THE MIDST OF STORM.

Prayer

Hebrews 11:40 KJV

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Hebrews 10:7-9 KJV

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

May God show us and enlighten us on the purpose of our creation. May the power of the enemy of our soul not rub off our memory from seeking God's purpose for our live. In Jesus name Amen.

Unknown and Known

Many are times we pray for the things known neglecting to pray for the unknown.

Even when we pray for the unknown we still focus on the known.
What we do not put into consideration is the gravity and effect of the Unknown on us and what we know.

I pray that the Lord will keep us from the unknown that might ruin us and the known in Jesus name. Amen

Hope carries us on even when our sight is becoming deem and darker.
Prayer keeps us even when our power fails or is failing.
The Lord watches over us all the time.

I AM CREATED THAT WAY FOR A REASON

Life comes with different strokes.
But for everything in life there are always two ways to it.
Begining and End.
Good or Bad.
In between the two ways comes mountain and valleys.
Whatever level or phase of life you are.
BE THANKFUL.
Comparing your life with someone else's can be dangerous at times.
You really do not want to wear or be in that person's shoe or clothes.
Because you might not be able to handle what is inside or beneath it.
Be grateful for Who you are.
I AM HAS MADE YOU THAT WAY FOR A REASON.

Saved by Grace.

I knew  I was deep into something evil beyond my control.
The more I try to get out the more I fall deep, deeper than I was.

It all started when I met Joclyn my old school mate in U.K. When I came on scholarship for studies. I have worked so hard, studied day and night to gain that scholarship and I eventually did.

Mum was so happy, Dad was more than happy. He was ready to send me money to keep up every week if need be. Hmmmmm!!!

Oh I wish dad's dream saw the light of day. He travelled to Kinsasa on a Business trip and he never came back. He was murdered in cold blood. Just 2days to my travelling to U.K. I could not believe it my whole world was crumbling right before my eyes. O Lord!!!

I had to be strong for mum and my little brother it was difficult yes it was.

So I left for the U.K. First year was difficult but I scaled through. Second year was very difficult as mum couldn't carry on she suffered  a brief stroke and all dad's investment went like a wind all blew away on mum's illness.

Mum became well but it meant I had to work and send money home for her to survive. How possible is that I was entitled to only 20hours work a week.  Mum will never take no for an answer. She said I had opportunities and I should make good use of it. She compared me to every other person abroad saying A sent a new car home last week while B just built  a house. I try to explain to her that its not as easy as she thinks but it always fell on deaf ears. Oh My!!!

Joclyn came into my life, we were not close friends back home. She was a clergy's daughter and all she did back in school days was preach and preach. She always bore the entire school with John3:16"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him will not perish but have everlasting lie". I knew  it without checking the Bible because that was our greetings for her back then.

I was surprised the way I saw Joclyn she had transformed. She wore very tight revealing clothe and was chewing so hard. We hugged and talked about old times. She noticed how I stared at her amd brought me out of my misery by saying"this Joclyn aiint same one back in school days I have arrived gurl".

Joclyn's story..
Her dad had insitsed she joined the covent after school. She met a guy along the line who brought her to.U.K. Promised to sponsor her education on getting here she was used as a money making machine in a self owned motel for 3years she slept with anything, any man. She introduced me to her job after being a pest for 1year.

Mum never cared how I got the money down to her. Even though she was getting thousands every month it was like an obligation. All she says is "next month make sure its more my daughter".

I was selling my body for money!!!!
It was difficult but after some drinks and drugs I do things I would never do. Joclyn became so jealous of me she pushed me out. By then I had graduated from University. I was meant to go for my MSc in Media studies and Journalism. I tried getting a Job with my Credentials but I could not lay my hand on one. I felt so useless and defeated.

I was asleep when I got a call from Joclyn it was 2am in the morning a winter morning. She was weeping I could hardly understand what she was saying. From what I gathered she was in Queens Hospital intensive care unit. I told her I will come first thing in the Morning. I could not sleep afterwards, I had different thoughts I prayed for the first time in 6years that God should keep Joclyn.

When I got to the hospital I could not recognise Joclyn. She was a shadow of her usual self. She had been sick for 9months. She had H.I.V. She never went for treatment and it has now become AIDS. She could hardly speak. We both cried, my world stood still.  I am losing a friend, just like I lost my dad. I thought it was my fault, I must have a bad Omen.

I stood by Joclyn, visited her everyday. I eventually stopped prostitution. Joclyn's case made me stop. One faithful day while I visited Joclyn, she introduced me to her Main carer Elizabeth. She was so nice she kept saying my name was lovely hmm "BLESSED A LOVELY NAME?".

Elizabeth was a minister in her Church. She had grown so fond of Joclyn and had asked that Joclyn rededicate her life to Christ. Joclyn had become born again. I thought it was good but not for me. Joclyn is a clergy's child so is just going back to her foundation. I am a Christian by name, we only went to church on occassions when I was with my parents so Christianity was an official status for my family.

Elizabeth insisted I should try Christ even though I gave her all excuse of not being able to try Christ. She taught me a song and she requested I should sing the song and pray the way I can.

I could not get the song out of my head till I went to bed that night. I kept singing "open the eyes of my heart Lord I want to see you".

My turning point...

I dreamt that I was in shackles in a very dark room and I was still singing Open the Eyes of my heart Lord I want to see you. I was weak very weak I was losing my voice. Then I sang for the last time using all my strength. Suddenly, there was an earthquake out of it came a light reaching up to the skies. I could not look at it because the Light was shining, I was trembling. The voice said "Blessed why are you calling?"It was sounding like thunder and echoed all over. In my trembling voice I said I want to see you. The voice " you are in darkness child and I am the Light of the world. I and darkness have no agreement but you have prompted me with your cry. To see me you HAVE TO COME OUT OF DARKNESS". Then I woke up I was soaked in sweat my heart was pumping really hard and fast.

I had doubts in my mind, I was trying to force myself not to believe. I said it must be hallucination. Its not true as I was contemplating on my revelation, the door to my room opened wide, and Behold a shining light and an Angel standing at the door. I could hear angels Singing far away.

The Angel said" why are you doubting Blessed, the Lord had sent me to tell you to COME OUT OF DARKNESS INTO EVERLASTING LIGHT. You have called and He is waiting for you, why do you want doubts to rob you off your salvation. You are behaving Like Thomas(Didymus) one of the Disciples who did not believe Christ had risen as recorded in The word of God in John 20:24-29 KJV

"But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.  Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.  And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

Blessed the Lord want you on His side and He needs you now. Tomorrow might be too late present yourself to him". Before He left He said I should read Romans 12:1-2.

Romans 12:1-2 KJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

That was my Turning point.

I became born again Christian. God gave Joclyn the grace to live 2years more. We could not locate Joclyn's family. Her parents had died, we had a charity organisation for women Redeemed from sex trade.

Our Charity project name was "DELIVERED". We trained women, preached the gospel, go to motel and anywhere we could get to preach to sex workers and anyone. God took control of our lives. Thanks to Nurse Elizabeth who Later became my Mother In Law and My Mother in the Lord. One faithful Sunday after service I and Joclyn had gone to do home visit. We parted making plans for the next day.

I was worried when Joclyn did not make it to the next day appointment. She was not picking her mobile. I sensed something had gone wrong. Oh Joclyn, she had passed on in her sleep overnight. I could not hold myself I called my husband Kevin who came as soon as possible.

Joclyn was buried the following week which would have marked our second anniversary of giving our lives to Christ. Her memory lives on.

I still run the Charity with help from volunteer. My Mum and brother also gave their lives to Christ. I am Living testimony of being SAVED BY GRACE.

Thank God for Jesus..

Your Focus.

When we visit the Market, we notice its very noisy.

There is a lot of transaction going on. Some are there to buy, some are there to window shop, some are the to sell while some are passing by.

In this world we are, there are lots of distraction. Its a device the enemy of our soul is using gradually to get people of their focus and purpose of creation.

As a creation of God Almighty, He has created us to live our life for Him and in Him only.

Whatever the distractions are, do not let it stand against your purpose on earth and the Home above(HEAVEN).

DON'T JUST PASS BY OR WINDOW SHOP IN THIS WORLD. FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF YOUR CREATION BY LIVING FOR AND IN GOD ALWAYS.

SHOW YOUR GRATEFULNESS TO GOD ALWAYS

This day many of us woke up thinking "its my body clock".
"When I sleep at a certain time  I will wake up at certain time cause my body is used to it".

The truth dear friend is God has allowed you and I to see this day by HIS MIGHT AND GRACE UPON US.

Some people say well I tend to sleep the moment I hit the bed, It's not your doing but God.
Some people can not sleep at night, many diagnosis have been given for this condition but the fact remains that they cannot sleep.
If they have 30 minutes sound sleep they will be grateful. Even with the aid of sleeping pills they still cannot sleep.

Dear friend that which you take cheaply and for granted will be highly cherished by someone out there if they can have it just for a minute.

Some of us await the biggest miracle that can ever happen in human race to happen to us before we can appreciate God.
That which you have expected since the begining of  this year is yet to come but are you grateful that the main thing you need to witness that expectation of yours has not been cut off, either by man or any other thing GOD HAS NOT ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

Do you know that the person in a vegetable state in the hospital bed still have more hope than that person, that brother, sister, colleague, family 6 feet under earth.

There is hope for that person in hospital because he/she still has LIFE and God can turn his/her situation around to the doctor's amazement.

Everyone has one problem, burden or the other but when you hear or see some other people's burden or problem you will forget yours and appreciate GOD.

Are you angry at God?
You are not where you ought to be, you have not gained admission to study your course, financial problem, marital issues, you aren't married yet(it's because you are of marriageable age and have sound mind), things are a bit slow, there is a delay, your needs are not met not to talk about your wants.
Please look back into your life if there is nothing to thank God for please thank Him for the BREATH OF LIFE.

You are complaining about your body, am too big, tall, short, slim, fat, muscular. STOP RIGHT THERE YOU ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE (GENESIS 1:27" SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN HIS IMAGE HE CREATED HIM, MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM ) N.I.V.

If God was a man many would have perished at the slight of a mistake; ungratefulness, unforgiveness, greed, idolatory, enviness showed or portrayed.

Friends even as you are rejoicing and preparing for one celebration or the other, many have passed away like the breeze.
Have you forgotten so quickly?
God picked you up when you fell, He could have left you there but He didn't.
He healed you when you were ill.
He paid your debt which you never had hope on how to pay it.
He mend your brokenness.
He embraced you when you were casted out by loved ones.
He gave you strength in your weakness.
He was there with you when everyone left you ON YOUR OWN.
He sees the tears and wipes it away.
HE GAVE YOU GRACE TO CARRY ON YOU DID NOT DESERVE IT BUT HE GAVE YOU STILL.

PSALM 150: "LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD" (N.I.V.)

I AM GRATEFUL LORD WITH YOU I CAN'T GO ON.
IN YOU IS MY EXISTENCE, WITHOUT YOU MY EXISTENCE IS WORTHLESS.
I HUMBLY SAY THANK YOU LORD.
THANK YOU JESUS.

Lamb Of God - By Kirk Franklin with Lyrics

Now behold the lamb

The precious lamb of God

Born into sin that I may live again

Why you love me so Lord I shall never know

The precious Lamb of God

Now behold the lamb the precious lamb of God

Born into sin that I may live again

When I always didn't do right

He told me left He told me to go right

But I'm standing right here in the midst of my tears

 Lord I thank you for being the lamb of God

Thank you for the Lamb, the precious lamb of God

Because of your grace I can finish this race, the precious lamb of God.

Even when I broke, broke your heart

My sins tore us apart

But I'm standing right here in the midst of my tears

I claim you to be the lamb of God.

New life can begin yeah

for you've washed away

washed away every one of my sins

Whom the son sets free is truely free indeed

I claim you to be the lamb of God

After a Test there comes a Testimony.

In life every man is bound to face     low times and challenges.
The grace and ability to carry on can be found in holding unto God.

Deuteronomy8:1-10" Obey faithfully all the laws that I have given you today, so that you may live, increase in number and occupy the land which the Lord promised to your ancestors. Remember how the Lord your God led you on this long journey through the desert these past firthy years, sending hardships to TEST you, so that he might know what you intended to do and whether you would obey HIS commands. He made you go hungry, and then gave you manna to eat, food that you and your ancestors had never eaten beforw. He did this to TEACH you that man must not depend on bread alone to sustain him, but on everything that the Lord says. During these forty years your clothes have not worn out nor have your feet swollen up. Remember that the Lord your God corrects and punishes you just as a father disciplines His childten. So then do as the Lord has commanded you; live according to His law and obey Him. The Lord your God is bringing you into a fertile land, a land that has rivers and springs, and underground streams gushing out into the valleys and hills. A land that produces wheat and barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates,olives and honey. There you will never go hungry or ever be in need. Its rocks have iron in them and from its hills you can mine copper. You will have all you want to eat, and you will give thanks to the Lord your God for the fertile land that He has given you".(Good News Bible Today's English Version)

Halleluyah and Amen

The test we go through in life is well known to God. How we handle such time depends on our understanding of who God is and His grace upon us.

Many are times when people give up in their test because they believe their ability can not carry on. This happens because they have neglected or do not put in account ability of the one who is MOST ABLE GOD ALMIGHTY.

When you live on what you see, you can only achieve on what you see and your level of success will be limited to what you see.
When you live in God and what He sees about you, your coast will expand beyond what you can see.

There are diffetent times in life, the wilderness time is your time of testing.

Even in that testing wilderness time, God is there to see you through. In the scripture quoted above verse 5 says" during these forty years your clotges have not worm out, nor have your feet swollen".  If you take time to think deeply of all the tests you have gone through in life, there must have been a point when you thought yes this is it, there can be no other way to overcome but there comes that point that God steps in and all you can mouth or think os THIS can ONLY BE GOD.

If you do not have a test how experienced will you be when others run to you for help. So every test has a testimony. Your testimony can be when you help people who go through similar situation summpn courage and have faith in God.

There is no test that man can overcome without the intervention of God, the intervention of fellow mam is temporal whilst the intervention of God os permanent and glorious.

Verse 7 of the chapter above says" the Lord your God is bringing you into a fertile land".
Halleluyah when something is fertile it reproduces  more and more till its creator says its enough. How can you get to a fertile land without a small test.

How do you intend to testify later after all the test if you give up?
Even school children must pass some basic test to get promoted to the next class. As an adult you think the school children test is so easy but to the children it can be very hard. Yoi think its easy because you have passed through it at some point now you look back and you are glad you did.

So the challenges you face in life can only be looked back on and be thankful on only if you succeed to the next stage.

At every state there is a test. So after every testimony there is another test waiting but with God on your side you will testify again to His glory about that new stage and new test.

Verse 1 of the scripture above says obey faithfully. In your test do you obey God faithfully. To obey Faithfully, you must be dedicated totally to what God wabts and wills.

Obeying faithfully is not thesame as obeying partially. By obeying pertially you are disobeying God. If God says go to the west and you say well I think the North west is similar to west becaust they both have west, you are disobeying God.

Obedience is better than sacrifice, you must be able to identify God's mind in that  situation. You cannot disobey and still expect to testify like an obedient child no way. Do not mix black die with white die and still expect to get a black shining result or white result now way. Except a miracle happens. Obey God always make it your top most priority. God teaches through every test but how can you learn the lesson He is teaching you when you disobey.

God is always ready to do what no man can do because He is able.
Ephisians3:20"

Hurts and forgiveness.

Throwing anger at your hurts will not heal your hurts.

Forgiveness starts from the one that hurts.

You must forgive yourself  of your hurts before forgiving those that hurt you.

Unforgiveness generates hatred.
Throw love at that hatred then the doors of forgiveness will open for you and those that hurt you.

Have faith and Believe

Hebrews 11:1-3 NIV

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Believing in the word of God, who God is and the power of God knocks fear to destruction.
Your faith and believe will always take you to places you never visualise yourself.
Fear will take you away from where you already occupy if you gove in to it.

God has given to us courage not fear.
Never stop believing in God.
Never stop believing in yourself because God has given you what nobody can give to you but if you allow fear and not faith you might get into deep mess.
Believe God.
Have faith in God.
Believe in yourself.

Thank you Jesus for the courage to kick out fear.
Halleluyah!!!!!!

He's waiting for you.

God is always there to listen to us when we call even when we think we are too deep in sin and unworthy, His arms are wide open to take us back into His place of shelter and provision.

So don't deny yourself of the available provision of God because you think your sins are too much.
Though we aren't worthy but God still loves us so much.
HE IS WAITING FOR YOU NOW COME BACK HOME.

All is profitable.

There are times we pray that God should seperate us from enemies of progress.
Pretence friends.

I must be honest with you those prayers do come to manifestation when God answers.
You will be surprised at who will just stick their head up and hate you unnecessarily even though you love them.

This can be a difficult time for many.
The joy of it all is when they leave your life stagnancy stops and things move appropriately.
Yes.

If you have been in that state before or you are right now.
Even though they have left never stop praying for them, do not pay evil with evil and you will see the reward.

God is not a respecter of any man He pays everyone according to the works of their hand.
You can not sow onion and reap apples.

Whatever you sow you will reap.

Being good is as profitable as being bad.

No man can ever be GOD.

1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Peter 4:11 NIV
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 4:11 NIV
"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."
As Human always remember when God uses you as a medium to REACH out to HIS children and He manifest HIS POWER. ALL GLORY MUST BE RETURNED TO GOD NOT MAN.
Don't turn yourself to man made God by expecting to be acknowledged and Glorified instead of GOD. Allow God to shine His Light upon you in His way.
NO MAN CAN NEVER BE GOD.
GOD WILL REMAIN GOD FOREVER.

WHO YOU ARE

WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAKE IN LIFE WILL AMOUNT TO WHO YOU BECOME IN LIFE...

Borrower of Vision or Bearer of Vision.

Vision is simply the act of being able to see.
Vision can be instantenous, through divine discernment or prophetic.

Habakkuk 2:2" then the Lord answered me write the vision, make it clear on tablets so that anyone can read it quickly" (God's word Translation)

Every vision needs to be written down in a way people can understand the purpose of the vision and the target or goal the vision aims to meet.

Bearer of a vision is whom the vision had been given initially. When you speak to some business owners about their business their response at times is "it has always been my dream/vision". The bearer of a vision will handle the vision in a unique way, ideas will be outstanding.

Borrower of a vision, this is someone who has a vision or does not have a vision but copies anothee person's vision and idea.
In some cases such person will copy perfectly forgetting that a PHOTOCOPY CAN NEVER BE AN ORIGINAL.

You wonder how this applies to our day to day activities. We come across all types of people in this world some are ready to borrow all your talents, ideas and make it theirs if you are not careful. They can either be a close friend or a distanced friend or neighbour, all your steps are being watched.

This kind of person will copy from your talents to your voice tone, your dressing, cooking methods. Please do not get me wrong it is profitable to share ideas and knowledge that way you gain more. It is different from copying and claiming ownership.

For every vision bearer, he/she must be ready to partner with people with similar vision, this way you will excel.

For instance you wouldn't expect a Fashion designer to help fix your plumbing problems. That is a no no, its if only its a multi-functioning company that produces different typws of profession.

Taking social network for example, there are many sites and groups. Many have great vision and arr utilizing it so well.
Whereas some people are borrowing such vision and are doing great as well but are limited because they wait on the recipent they borrowed their vision to know the next step to take.

Some glance through other's vision, borrow some, do lots of researches and establish a great vision of their own.

What is  your Vision?
Have you got a vision?
Are you living on borrowed vision?
What is the source of your vision?

You need to have a vision to identify what your mission is. From the source of your vision, you can get fresh inspiration on how to go about your vision.

Some people bury their vision because they covet others vision thinking their would not yield so well.
If God gives you a vision, He will give provision for the mission of that vision.

An intriguing thing is when parents, siblings try to utilize their vision through their child or sibling.
Such parents say to their child you will study Medical Science and the Child wants to study Law because that is what he/she is well competent and interested. Parents do not give in easily except God intervane.

Some parents will even say since A your sister/brother couldn't achieve that you must do this course and they get your sibling to talk to you. They neglect the fact that it might not be the vision God has given you about yourself. In such scenario you must seek God and commit the heart of your parents to God.

Vision bearer be careful of people around you that are just hanging around not to only steal your vision but destroy yours so that they can claim full possession.

When God gives you a vision, seek help from Him inguarding the vision and fulfilling the purpose with which the Vision was given.

I pray that no power of man will tarnish your God given vision in Jesus name. Amen

I pray also that in anyway you have lost your vision due to carelessness God in His infinite mercies will restore it in Jesus name. Amen

I also pray for those that are clueless about their vision God will open your eyes and heart of Understanding to know what your vision is in Jesus name. Amen

Your to do list..

In life there are some things you have to do to attain the next level.

Also there are somethings you do not have to touch else you will be stagnant or drawn back.

Those things you have to do to go to the next level might seem very difficult but at the end of it you will know its worth the pain.

Those things you aren't meant to touch will look easy and pleasing but the end result is not always good.

Morals whatever you do or will do that will add value to your life that is not against God's will for you put more effort into it even when you feel tired God will empower you.

Whatever you will do that will add value or no value but its against God's will flee from it.

Happy New Month

Psalms 67:5-7" may the peoples praise you, O God, may all the peooles praise you. The land has produced its harvest God our God has blessed us. God has blessed us, may all people everywhere honour him"

Praise The Lord, its our Month of Harvest because the Lord had blessed us. Halleluyah

You and I are blessed to see this month. Praise the Lord Halleluyah.

Happy New Month

It's God who Qualifies you.

You see yourself as a NOBODY who is not qualified to be used by God.
What you forget is that God calls the NOBODY and turns them to SOMEBODY who EVERYBODY wants to know or even be in their BODY.
GOD qualifies those He calls He does not call the QUALIFIED..

YOU ARE GENUINE AND THAT IS ALL HE WANTS BECAUSE HE CREATED YOU....

STOP BELITTLING YOURSELF...

Move on

Back in the days we sing now the day is over at the end of each school day...

When someone walks out of your life do not kill yourself. It might be the end of their time in the chapter of your life.

When a friend leaves don't spread bad news or evil rumours because of that.

Move on, the fact that Demas(2Timothy4:10) left Apostle paul that didn't stop Apostle Paul from evangelising the Good News.

Move on and Do the Will of God.

Your Purpose.

If you neglect your purpose and potentials because of opposition in life, you might end up wasting your potentials or burying your purpose in life.

Broken Pieces can become whole..

Jeremiah32:27" I am the Lord of all the people, is anything too hard for me?"

When you go through phases of
disappointment, disgrace and let down at times it's easy to blame God for it but its not wise to do so.

When you cannot find anyone to blame you blame God. Some seek comfort in things that can ruin them.

An example is drinking alcohol to ease the pain, taking drug graduating from a class of drug to a higher one.

Some use the body needs to dissatisfy their soul. Some find comfort in sexual intercourse, moving from one partner to another seeking comfort where it can't be found.

All these gradually leads to addiction which can take a very long time to come out of it.

God uses some situations in life to bring the best out of you. So when you go through those sitiations instead of running away from God its adviseable to run to God.

He is the only one who understand your pain. For example you had a miscarried and you are so much in need of the fruit of the womb. You blame yourself and God at times. That doesn't necessarily mean you should run away from God. You run to God for total deliverance and the most present, best help you can ever get.

You wonder if God will come down to your resque, God will send divine help. Divine help will come in form of human to you. It could be your family, friend, neighbour infact it could come from someone you do not know.

The fact that your medical records states no remedy does not imply that you should give up. Help rendered to you is useful when you believe in it. God can use another person to help put back the broken pieces. You can be better than you were.

Allowing the help around to favour you is your CHOICE.
So today don't refuse the Help given to you. Help from God will not cause you to sin. So if your boss offers you a pay rise and promotion on the basis that you sleep with Him. Please do not conform to the things of this world by agreeing to sleep with your boss, that isn't Help From Divine Source.

This message is for you;
You have lost it all and you are clueless of the way forward, God can put the broken pieces back. Job suffered great loss but for every loss God blessed Him double.

To you who think age aren't on your side because you are not married or you are married and the fruit of the womb is not coming. God is at work YES. He will fix the broken pieces back. There  is hope in God.

Whatever it is that you feel broken in God is Able to fix it back.

Matthew19:26"and looking upon them, Jesus said to them, with men this is impossible,but with God all things are possible".

Say This Out with boldness and Faith ;
I AM NOT BROKEN WITHOUT A CHANCE OF FIXING. GOD CAN PUT BACK MY BROKEN PIECE TO A BRAND NEW WHOLE PIECE I BELIEVE AND I RECEIVE IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

Its your Choice

God will always speak and His voice will be heard. Whether you listen or heed to His word and voice is your Choice...

Floodgates of Heaven

When God opens the floodgates of Heaven upon your life, unconnected sources becomes connected, unsuccessful becomes successful, Shame will erase and glorious fame will replace it. 
You will be less concerned about the help of man or desire for mundane thing but more focused on Heavenly things and God's divine help.

To Achieve such you must Obey God in everything and Have Faith in God.
Oh Lord I pray this day for obedient and Faithfull Heart in Jesus name amen.

THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN IS OPENED IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

Even at your Best.

You will be doubted and tried even at your best.

Enviness, Jealousy, False accussation will rise against you.

In it all never lose your calling or purpose.

Do not use your purpose or calling to please man but God.

Never use your purpose and calling to manipulate others as well do it to the proportion with which God has assigned you.

Not everyone will agree with you, Not everyone will criticize you either.

Proverbs27:21-22" fire tests gold and silver; a person's reputation can also be tested. Even if you beat a fool until he's half dead, you still can't beat his foolishness out of him".(Good News Bible Today's Ebglish Version).

All you have to do is always obey your creator.

Priorities.

You can not be focused on God's provision of your priority is fixed on the pressures of life.

Set your priorities on things above...

I am a blessed Child.

My prayer always and the cry of my heart to God is, not to just be a receiver of Blessing but to also be a blessing to as many that I come across in Life.

It is good to be blessed and it is greated and more blessed to be a blessing..

I am a blessed Child I believe..
Halleluyah.

Before You Rush.

Before you rush in to speak to God tendering your list of problems, wants, needs and so on.

Take a moment to appreciate God for everything.

Also before you rush out into your daily activity.
Take a moment to communicate with your Heavenly Father.

Don't rush out into the day and wait till a problem arise before you praise God or thank Him.

Do not rush into God's presence with your issues without thanking the one who created you.

Apata Igbala mi(My Rock of Salvation) I say thank you.

your worth

When you rely on  the praise of people before you appreciate who you are, you might loose your worth..

Appreciate whom God has made you to be..
Human being can lie and deceive but God will not deceive you or lie to you.

Secrets and its effects.

Secret according to the online dictionary, is  something hidden from the knowledge of others.

Secrets are kept at times because of fear of what its knowledge will do to others or the bearer.

Some secrets can be kept as long as its for a good cause such as keeping a secret of a surprise birthday. The purpose of such secret is to indeed make the  surprise worth a suprise.

Some secrets are not worth keeping because they can be an instrument of destruction.

Luke8:17"for nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light".(E.S.V)

No matter how long a secret is kept one day it will be revealed.

Ecclesiastes12:14"For God will bring every deed into judgement, with every secret things, whether good or evil".(E.S.V)

So either a secret has a positive or negative effect it will be judged. 

Psalms44:21"would not God discover this? For He knows the secrets of the heart".(E.S.V)

God can see the depth of every single person on earth without mixing the content because He is awesome. You will be surprised how someone you do not know can reveal your secret to you.

In Daniel2:19" that night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of Heaven".(N.L.T)

The king kept the dream to.himself and called for all wise men asking them to tell him his dream and the meaning. It was the king's secret but God revealed it to Daniel who told the king his dream and the meaning.

This explains to that God can reveal someone's hidden secret to another person, therefore there is nothing hidden before God and that includes your secrets.

Genesis12:13"say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for.your sake and my life will be spared because of you".(N.L.T)

Genesis26:7"when the men who lived there asked Isaac about his wife, Rebwkah, he said, she is my sister. He was afraid to say she is my wife he thought they will kill me to get her because she is ao beautiful".(N.L.T.)

Abraham lied and Isaac did as well. They thought they could keep it as secret but God revealed to those they were lying to. Sometime we keep secret or perhaps lie to get out of immediate trouble. This can end up haunting us for long if it is not revealed.

This days we have married couples lieing to each other. This lies can be very expensive. They say its my secret. Why are you one if you have to keep somethings as secrets from each other. If you love him/her you will open up.

Some singles even keep secrets from their supposed husband and wife to be. If left for later it can or will ruin the whole relationship.

When it comes to children you do.not need to sit a child down to teach him/her how to lie or keep secret. Some of this young one get it from their parents while some just form that habit.

Many homes are so smooth now.because the secrets are hidden aways and when it is revealed or licked the smooth home will become crooked. Some people say what will be will be yes very true but do not add petrol into the burning house by keeping unnecessary things.

The longer you keep bad secrets the more advantage it gets to cause damages. Even some good secrets from your perspective can be dangerous. You think you are doing it for some very important reason.

Such as a woman that sleeps round to give her home children because the husband has low sperm count for instance.  Another is a man that has a child outside marriage and keeps it away from the wife in the name of I want to save my marriage.

I watched a documentary about a young lady that kept secret from her new lover and led him knowingly to.her former lover. Who ended up killing this new lover. What a wasted life, talent and generation wasted because of a bad secret. May we and ours not fall victim of such in Jesus name. Amen

Secret can be good when of good cause I repeat, you can secretly acquire something on good source for someone important in your life. It is fine.

The bottom line is let us beware of what we term as secret. Do not mistake lies to secret. They are different.

Another thing about secrets kept with individual either a friend confided in you. Breaching such act devalues the level of trust the person has for you. Whatever secret you can not keep tell the person fron onset and you will be free.

Do not wait for someone to.pour their heartfelt secret to you amd yoi vow to keep it only to pick the megaphone in your mouth and start broadcasting.

Luke 12:3"Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops".(E.S.V)

When you tell others secret to other people gradually rumours will build up. What was meant to.be a happy relationship will become bitter and sour all because you could not keep your mouth from talking.

Whatever thing or way we understand it secrets can be either good or bad. Let the good one change life and run away from bad ones.

Have you been let down because secrets have been disclosed, have your secrets nearly or ruined your relationship, are you keeping secret from your loved ones.

Its good to ask God for direction over the way out.
You will be glad you did in Jesus name.

I pray that any secret that will ruin you or yours will be exposed in Jesus name amen.

Health is Wealth..

Good Health is something God gives.
Some says money can buy everything.
I say money only buy somethings God willing.

If you are in good state of mind and Health and you think its because of Money you are mistaking.
Your money can support the good health but only God permits good Health.

Health is Wealth, Wealth is not Health.
Thank God for good Health.

Andrae Crouch - Let the Church Say Amen Lyrics feat. Pastor Marvin Winans

no matter what you feel God is with you say amen..

When you know God.

When you know the God you serve so well, nothing,anyone can't stop you from obeying Him.

To doubt Him will be hard.

Have Faith.

In all we expect from God, we must have faith in God to fulfill it in an extraordinary way. A way that no man can do or understands but God.
Faith is important in the manifestation of our expectation..
Have Faith in God..

You can do it.

The only way you can heal the pain of a hurt that you have been nursing caused by unforgiveness is to forgive the person who initiated the hurt.

Hurting is a way people deal with forgiveness, hurt leads to hatred but forgiveness clean it all.

Matthew6:14-15" if you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your father in Heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your father will not forgive the wrongs you have done".

Are you so hurt and bittered? Forgive the person now.
You can do it.

Something Unique in you.

"As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. Follow me, He told him and Matthew got up and followed Him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples. When the Pharisees, saw this, they asked His disciples why does teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?
On hearing this, Jesus said It is not the healthy who needs a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners".(Matthew9:9-13)

It gladdens one's heart when you are appreciated.
It brings joy to one's soul when what was thought to be a useless thing becomes a useful thing and blessings to yourself and to others.

In every creation there is something God has planted in them that is unique and need nuturing for it to grow and bless others.

This message is for you that has been belittled because you were classified to be of no worth.
There is something unique in that thing people saw in you and classified worthless.

In life we pass through stages of rejection from those that ought or we thought should understand and accept us most.
Matthew(Levi) was a tax collector classified as sinner but our Lord Jesus saw something unique in Him and asked Him to follow Him as a disciple. 

He left the tax collection job to pursue what was in him and became a disciple. He could have said no but he was willing to follow Christ.
To succeed in unique gift there must be willingness to follow a new pathway.

Imagine how happy Matthew(Levi) must have felt, a classified sinner following the master(Jesus). That was  a taboo to those who thought a sinner should not be saved but Christ did not come for those that are healed but the ones that are sick.

Sometimes we face rejection at work,home,among friends,family even people who do not know us all because something in you is so unique in us.

Some years ago someone said to me "well if you leave next time you come you will be a visitor". Indeed the words came to pass but in a dignified manner with total Honour. I went there as a V.I.P. On invitation. Yes I was a visitor invited will plea from the one who thought I will come back begging. Mind you I left on a good cause.

There is something in your life that is unique and when the hypocrites and enemies of progress see it they can not stand your presence.

Never allow rejection in your past or present life to stop you from progressing into the future God has for you.

UK is a  country disliked by some people but it is the only Country whose currency is mostly of high value it hardly drops in value. This same country's currency has both first and last name Pounds Sterling. So no matter how hated or disliked you are in life you will still have places where you are valued high.

Your uniqueness in Life should not be tolerated but celebrated. Irrespective of the amount of haters of destiny your purpose of existence can be celebrated if only you know it.

"Through Him and for His name's sake we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ".(Romans1:5-6)

You cannot understand the purpose of your Uniqueness if you do not know or have a relationship with God who made you that way. It is by grace through Christ Jesus that you can and will fulfill destiny.

Have you thought about that excellent skills in you that seem so unique that you do not know which way to use it?
Speak to God about it, ask Him to show you where to use it and lead you to those that will be blessed by it.
Some are blessed with counselling skills and so on but are afraid to use it because of rejection. You cannot progress in that area if you are still running into hiding.

"No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it is hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light".(Luke11:33).

Your uniqueness can not survive where rejections is all it gets. You need to be received/ welcomed to be celebrated.

May the Lord teach you how, where and when to utilize the Unique gift in you in Jesus name amen.

If you are yet to identify that Unique seed in you ask the Lord in prayer to reveal it to you and He will.

If you do not have a relationship with the Lord start building one, He is not far from you but you are far from Him if you walk against His will and wish even though He is the closest to you.
Ask the Lord to come into your life now in Jesus name. Amen

New birth in New dawn.

Every new dawn is loaded with something to deliver to each and every individual.

Be you Old or young.

God knows what parkage each day will bring forth for you.

I pray this day will birth goodnews for you  and I in Jesus name. Amen

Psalm30:1"I will exalt you Lord for you have lifted me out of the depth and you did not allow my enemies to gloat over me".

Praise the Lord for the new birth of new things in my life and yours in Jesus name. Amen

Welcome my new delivery of great news..

God has written something New..

Never write yourself off even when people,family,friends and community has written you off...

When the world write you off, be rest assured that God will and has open a new Chapter to write something great about His plans for your life.

It will manifest if you stand firm in God..
Yes it will... LPJ

Entrance and Exit.

At some point, you must have come
across this two words in life.

We know they are things that we do daily, we enter a place and we leave another.

They can both be good or bad. Relating it to Birth and Death, Birth is entrance and Death is the Exit.

As human, we get so tangled up in Life that some do not even think about their Exit out of Life. I was Chatting with a small boy and he said "Do you know kittens are scared of the train track?" I said why.
He said" because If the train should go on the kitten, it wont be alive again". I said yeah it will be dead.

For some reasons He did not want to say the word dead/die.  I had to explain somethings to him about people exiting this world and where they go. Some are so scared when they hear Death/ terminal illness.

I do not pray for such in Jesus name but we need to acknowledge the fact that its something that is inevitable and when the time comes one needs to exit this world.

The 11th month of every year brings memory of My Biological Father to me. Even though He lives in our heart, ever since he exited this world. I just keep thinking what If and how I wish. Come to think of it God knew, knows and will keep knowing what is best.

To those who has lost someone; Dad,Mum, Brother,Sister,Husband,Wife,Friends and colleague. That was their time. In as much as its painful to admit that they are gone, they have done their part in this world and you and I are meant to do our part before God decide its time to leave.

What are you doing to fulfill that which God has created you for.

The Bible says"For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life"(John3:16).

There are two places an exited soul is either qualified or not qualified to spend eternity.
Heaven or Hell.
Everlasting life & joy or perishing.

The Bible says" what good is it for a man who gains the whole world but forfeit his soul".(Mark8:36).

The Bible says"it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God"(Mark10:25).

Will your exit in this world gain an entrance into the Kingdom of God, when do you start to check what will or will not get you to the kingdom of God and get rid of it/them?.

I pray that the Lord will teach and grant us the grace to live our life for Him. The pain of our sins has been taken on calvary. It does not worth it to exit and go into suffering for what Christ has paid for.

Have you ever thought of what next after this place?

If you have not or do not. Start doing so now.
Yorubas say "ki iku ka ishe ire mowa lowo" death should meet us doing good works.
You better start doing what will get you to Heaven. Your Salvation.

Why I Praise God.

Why I praise God and why I sing Praise to God only!!!!!!!!!

Praising God to some of us is only or should only be within the church environment.

Praising God to some should only be during prayer.

Praising God means a lot and divers things to us all.

To me praising God is a lifestyle,a way of life and a must.

I praise God when I am with and when I am without.

I praise God in my pain and in gain.

I praise God when I can visualise His wonders in and around me and when I cannot.

I praise God when I am in expectant of things and when I am not.

I praise God whenever I see a new dawn.

I praise God because it's in praise I find peace.

I praise God not because of the benefits in it only.

I praise God when I see things that amaze me.

I praise God when I am down and my spirit becomes lifted.

I praise God in my mind when I am speechless.

I praise God in my disappointment and appointment.

I praise God not only because He deserves it.

I praise God because my Happiness and comfort is in praising Him.

I praise God because He alone is God.

If I do not praise God whom will I praise????

I praise God in my distress and deliverance.

I praise God when i look into the mirror and I see myself(an image of my Maker God)

I praise God for not Just making me a woman but a vessel to honour. I am a fruitful vine. A woman of God's Heart. A mother to Nations like.
A productive Help to the Bone of My Bone.

I sing praise because I cannot, do not and would not stop praising God.

I will continue to praise my Maker as long as I have the breath of life....

I praise God because I am His and He is mine...

I sing His praise Because I am a Chosen Vessel.

What about you?
Why do you praise God?
Do you engage in praising God? When would you start praising God?

Don't wait till you see a miracle or become ridiculed before praising God...

Praise God now, always and in advance.

Praise in the Midst of Pain.

 
Praise In Midst of Pain...

Acts16:23-24" after they had been severly flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the  jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. Upon receivibg such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks".

Paul and Silas were imprisoned because Paul delivered the slave girl that fortune tells to the gain of her masters. It was not something Paul did the moment He saw the girl but after many days of which the girl kept shouting behind them"These men are servants  of the Most High God who are telling you the way to be saved"(Acts16:16- 22).

There are times in life when the innocent is purnished along with the offender.
There are times when what the world counts to be an offence is what God has led you to do. Taking Paul and Silas for example they were going about doing the work of God but along the line they were flogged and imprisoned.

Imagine being taken to the town square and being flogged all because of good deed.
Back to individual personal life.
There must have been a time when you have been accused wrongly and people who did it were gloating because of the pain they cause you.

Somethings are the least of what we ever thought could happen to us or anyone around us but when it finally happens what do you do?
Do you run back into your comfort zone or your shell and dwell on pity, regret and what ifs?

Whatever you go through of have being through only builds your courage and gives you strength.

It is hard to believe but be rest assured those challenges prepares you to be more hopeful, prayerful and faithful.
Paul and Silas were locked in the inner cell because their offence was great offence to the Land.
Acts16:25-26" about midnight Paul and Silas were Praying and singing hymns to God and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundation of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chain came loose".

Now back to the topic Praise in the midst of Pain.
Whilst in pain some sing sorrowful songs and start blaming their enemies and God.
It takes faith to carry on and praise God.
How painful it must have been for Paul and Silas after being flogged. Then in the Middle of the Night they started praying and singing hymns. That is evidence of Faith.

Faith without works is dead, but when do you put your faith to work?
At all times or in times of trouble only?

Psalms 34:1"I will extol the Lord at all times his praise will always be on my lips".
Praising God will not just open locked gates but takes you to the realm of possibilities.

In that situation you find unbearable lift your voice to the Lord and praise Him.
Nursing that pain even when it heals the scars will remind you of the bad memories. Praising God in that pain the testimony that will come afterwards will be a channel for encouragement both for you and people around you.

In that pain let you praise be heard in Heaven.
Do this and wait and see how God will cause the earth to quake for your sake. Those who mock you will run to you for way of salvation.

If only you can praise God in that pain.
Ask God to encourage you with his word.

Long Time Dream..

Genesis 42:6,8,9"Now Joseph was the governor of the Land, the one who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brother arrived they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
Although Joseph recognized his brothers they did not recoginse him. Then he remembered his dreams about them. (N.I.V)

Dream, Dream, Long time dream.
We all have had a dream or have a dream that we wait in anticipation for its manifestation.
It took long and series of preparation stages for the dream of Joseph to come to past.

What is that dream of yours.
Note Joseph never gave up on His dream even when he was imprisoned for what he did not do. Even when Pharaoh's servant who promised to tell the king about him forgot him for two more years in the prison. He never gave up.

When God gives you a dream He always set it on a pace that will glorify Him alone.
Whilst the dream is yet to manifest and trials seem like daily bread, know that God is preparing you.

So what is your dream do not give up on it.
Keep that vision/dream safe and always speak to God about it.
Dreams differ from individual to individual.
Some is academical wise, career, Marrital, Ministry wise, Talent, Fruitfull ness in marriage. Whatever it is God has not forgotten.

He is preparing you for that second,minute, hour,day,month and year when He will fulfill it.
God will fulfill it in a manner that those that rubbished your dream in the pass would have submitted totally in honouring you like Joseph's brother's did.
They did not have no choice but to submit.

I decree today that the day of the manifestation of your dream has come and you will testify in Jesus name.

Please confess this.
Oh my long time dream today marks the day of your breaking forth, breakforth with excellence in Jesus name.
I will be celebrated in Jesus name. Amen

If you are blessed please feel free to share and bless someone else.

It is a new Gift..

Congratulations dear friends...
Its a new Gift.
Thank God for it..
Acknowledge God in it.
Let God have His way in you in it..

You wonder what I am talking about..
Well its today.
Yes today is a Gift that is why it is referred to as present.
Yesterday is past.
Tomorrow is future and unknown.
Have a glorious day..

Greener Pasture

Greener Pastures!!!!!
The quest for greener pasture in this generation is very high.
Some will strive using all means to get rich. They forget the saying"more money more problem". Some are entangled in the desires of wanting people to know them. Fame by force.
The Bible says in Provervs10:22"it is the blessing of the Lord,it makes a person rich without adding sorrow". So the understanding of this scripture matters in your search for greener pasture and making ends meet.
Some will say "but God will not come down from Heaven to bless us", yes God will not come down but He will make way. Busy living your life in competition trying to make more money than A or B does, you can only run and get tired because the destiny of A or B differs from yours so why the competition?
Have you ever wondered why Twins born same day with difference of the time they were delivered do not end up making it same way in life even if they are Identical? They can do everything in life together but I tell you something will be different in their life. Even if they are seperated or conjoined twin there will be some individual difference. Trying to walk the path your friend or brother walked to greatness does not necessarily imply your greatness.
Many will go as deep as possible into the ocean while some will fly from North to South, From West to East,Asia to Europe,Africa to the United states all in search for greener pastures but what they are busy going all over for is hidden in them. They do not know because they fail to seek God's face.
Hosea4:6"My people die because of Lack of Knowledge" if you read the later part of that verse you will understand that seeking God in your quest for success is not only important but beneficial to your generation.
Back in the days when I was in school I had friends who will follow friends into pit because they were loyal to each other. There were friends who will not just follow for following sake but they will find the truth before following incase it becomes a bad or good journey. Are you a mare follower?
Because A is in the North and doing good your next destination is North. The moment North becomes Nonsense you become Nothing all because you followed your sense of physical sight and hearing. If you had asked God to lead you may be you would have realised that staying in West  was His plan for you.
We all read, see and hear from the NEWS terrible things  happening in the world around us. I read one about a lady dating an old man because of money she ended up on the street mastubating. True or false I do not know but in every rumour there is something close to the truth. Young ones are dieing while the old ones who's ways please God are living longer. That is the Irony of Life.
So before you jump into the depth of Seeking for greener pasture make sure there is a lift/ladder that will get you back up. Ask God to lead you. Is it His will for you to do that business, career and so on.
Do not waste you time studying Biomedical science when God has Created you to be a caterer. Do not waste your talent being a Financial Adviser when God has called you to be an Evangelist of His word.
Please do not get it wrong it is good to study and get career development but make sure.you are developing where God wants you. If you have gone the wrong way its not late God can do it for you just seek Him Dilligently and Faithfully..

WHEN YOU HAVE SEARCHED THROUGH ALL THE EARTH AND HELP SEEMS LIMITED OR NOT IN EXISTENCE..

REMEMBER NO HELP AND NO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD..

INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM PILLAR TO POST, GO ON YOUR KNEELS TO GOD ALWAYS..

HE IS THE HELP WHEN THERE IS AND WHEN THERE IS NONE...

HONOURABLE MOTHER...

When it happens, it happens.

Some plan it, some by circumstance, some it is as a result of their mistake and some it was never their fault.

I am writting about Mothers, not just mothers but the mothers raising children all alone without the help of the father. The society term them as  "Single Mother". I refer to them as "Honourable mothers". All mothers are honourable do not misunderstand me be you single or married.

When some people hear "single Mother" different thoughts runs in their mind. Oh she is a loose woman, she is bad, she could not keep her man, she has a bad behaviour, she is a disgrace to womanhood/motherhood. Oh she is a wonderful lady why her.
If you have or haven't had that thought I would say; try to burn yourself with the fire before you burn someone else yes then you will know what it feels like.

Some Honourable Mother are in that situation as a result of being a rape victim but kept the result(child). Some because they made a mistake. Some because they were jilted by their husband/spouse/boyfriend. Some because they were widowed at a young age.

Honourable mothers, plays the role of the dad and mum at thesame time plus they nurse their wound alone. They only get strength to carry on in God and well wishers around them. Standing afar and judging them will not help the situation.

I have read about a Honourable Mother who because the husband left and she could not handle it let all her guards down. She could not cope she kept reminding the child about his fathers irresponsible ways of life. She left what was important, Bringing up the Child regardless of what His/her father was/is doing. The boy ended up offending young and spending time in and out of prison. All because the man left and the woman could not cope.

Also I have seen a Honourable Mother who's husband left and never came back. She did jobs from one end to the other to pay Bills and make a livelihood for the Children and by the grace of God the children came out well infact one is a Member of Parliament and many more. He is not shy to say "my mother did all odd jobs cleaning to office duties to make me who I am even though My dad left and never came back".

So this message is to enlighten and educate us as community of unknown or known ignorance and stigma often placed on "single mothers(Honourable Mothers)". They are Human like you facing challenges of two parents even though its only one parent present.
I used to think only Mothers were "Single Mothers" until I met a "single Father" with 3children. He choose not to remarry just yet till the children get to certain age. He runs the family alone with the help of a Nanny. He is a "Honourable Father".

Some of us have them as brothers,sisters,friends or colleague. Let us embrace them with courage not demeaning words and behaviour. When we read or hear about a widow or widower with children seeking to marry a single or fellow widow/widower. Most society becomes judgemental about such Union.

Understanding how such people feel and the children matters a lot. They are not meant to be subject of pity or  ill treatment. Many of this Honourable Mothers are doing well in the society and they are even envied by Mothers who's partners are still with them. Some have used their past to get a glorious future for them and their children. Working two jobs,studying for better career opportuinity and still holding firm on God to sew them through.

To you "Honourable Mother" your hard work is not and will not go unnoticed just keep doing your best in bringing those children/child up. Though the father is late it does not mean you have to be late in your duties as a mother.  Has the father rejected that child/those children leaving you to take all the responsibilities? God is your strength, draw strength from God always and make sure you have/keep around you people that will encourage you.

Some days are easy to go but some are tiring, God sees all your effort. Never ever relent in bringing that child/ those children up in the way and fear of the Lord. The society might be against you but your maker is with you.

Honourable Mother, are you looking into settling down because you are still young or you need a companion. Pray about it, Never hide those gift(children). Make sure the person is ready to take your responsibilities as his. 
God has plans for you, He has plans for those Children/child.

He understands people have reffered to you in different ways both negative and positive but God has your best at heart. He wants the best for you. Let Him order your steps Always.

If no one has never told you before I am saying it to you now that YOU ARE HONOURABLE. It takes a lot of Courage, fear of God and love for that Child/Children to do what you are doing. You could have walked away.

Are you struggling being a Honourable Mother? You need to let go of your hurts and think about the pain you suffered while in labour to deliver that Child. Do not maltreat that Child because of His or Her Father. They are your Pride and Joy.

HONOURABLE MOTHER KEEP YOUR HEAD HIGH, KEEP THE SMILE, GET THE STRENGTH FROM GOD.
HE KNOWS YOU CAN HANDLE IT THAT IS WHY HE GAVE YOU THOSE GIFTS(CHILDREN).

Please note;
This note is not written to encourage divorce, pre marital sex or pregnancy that might lead to unwanted situation. It is to enlighten us on what Mothers in this situation deserve and to encourage Mothers in this situation.

Showcasing Talent or Gift.

Be mindful of those you showcase your gift/talent before.

If the percentage of those that are blessed  by and appreciate it is 89% pray to God that the remaining 11% will not be the joy killer.

The pacentage might have huge gab but its level of destruction can be alarming.

"inu oba she shi, a o ba mo ikun ashe ibi( Had it been you could see what is within human thinking, you would have been able to know who is good or evil)".

Take it or leave it!

Life and Choice.

Life is a hollow bubble until you fill it with faith in God it will always remain hollow and filled in with all sought.
If you do not live your life for and in God,you come to life crying,growing up sighing and later die and end up where crying is heard all round.
When you live your life in and for God,you come to life crying,grow up in hope that is divine regardless of the trials and when you die you end up in a place where you smile and rejoice forever.
It is all about Choice and The choice is yours.

IT IS ALL FROM GOD. IT ALL BELONGS TO GOD.

Sometime Human being guard their life so much that they forget that their Life does not belong to them but the creator.

Some will refuse to obey God because they are so concerned about themselves.

Have you forgotten that The only one that can take that breath of yours is The giver of Life?

Are you so world conscious that you believe that your life is working well because your organisational or intellectual skill is excellent? Do not get me wrong there is nothing bad in possessing excellent skills but when you think is your doing, you are deceiving yourself.

Do you think that, that sparkle and enviable beauty you possess is because of your cream,foundation,and make upppss?
Yeah they ADD TO IT but your source of beauty is what the creator has placed inside you from the day of your creation.

Do you think your performance at work, home,school,ministry(place of worship) is down to your wisdom and knowledge.
Stop! Stop!! Stop!!!

There is nothing, I repeat nothing that you possess that is not as a result of God's permission. If He had not said Yes there wont have been a yes. When He says No who dares change his decision? Nobody.

That life is not yours but God owns it.
Let your focus be high in pleasing God, Give all the glory to God Always.
Halleluyah!!!!!!!!

When He calls answer His call.

The job/work of this world sometimes have age limit.
No matter your age,race,social status or family background God can use you.
When He calls you answer Him(Make sure He is calling,recognise,Listen and follow His Lead).
Stop giving excuse and raising unnecessary barriers.
Give Him all.
He owns you.
He is all in all..
Will you answer His call?
Answer His call stop the questions and what Ifs.

Everyone Has A STORY.

As a child I loved reading different stories. At some point I realised that I loved writing stories which I did for a while.
Also I loved to tell stories some on fiction some on things I have witnessed.
I am not about to tell you my story in anyway but share a significant thing I have come to realise about Life.

Everyone has a story about their life. Episode by Episode.
Page by page.
Scene by scene.
The story of your life might seem worse but when you hear the story of someone else's life you will have no choice than to appreciate God for yours.

Some started life on a rough edge and ended rough. Some started rough and ended smooth. Some started smooth and ended smooth while some started smooth and ended rough. Whichever category you fall into there can be and there is a glory in that story.
This days we all claim the blessings of Abraham but most forget that Abraham had a story. He had his low times and times of awaiting expectation which at first seemed like will not come forth but God will never create anyone/thing without having a plan for the person/thing.

Life to some, is there destination and they care less about what happens after life. The story in your life will be played to you one day like a flashback. To be blessed from that story you have to focus on your Maker and let your hope in Him stand firm.
Even people that seem to have it smooth all through in life still experience ups and down but their ability to see the positive in the negative situation through their Hope in God helps them scale through.

People will envy, backstab, mock but when you are in the Market you do not get distracted by the noise in the market. You rather focus on the purpose of you being in the market. You achieve your purpose and head home. That is the way Life story is. Your goal and purpose of existence can only be found in God. If you get lost in the noise and uproar of the market, you will lose your goal.
So that story of yours has been written by God, He knows about the times you felt like throwing the towel. He knows about the happiest moment and the saddest moment but for you to eat the fullness of the story you must hand it over to who wrote the story(God Almighty).

There is a glory in your story. Your story will always bless another person in times of need if you allow God to take the glory.
Our Lord Jesus Christ had a story and the glory in that story is the eternal life you and I get if we believe and live for Him.
Adam the first man had a story and we partake in the result which is inheritance of sin and death.
If not for Christ what would have happened to human race?

So lovely friend, the glory is hidden in your story.
Stop lamenting, Ask God to encourage you and empower you. Leave it all to God.
Focus on God in that hard moment. Let God have His way and Let His will be done.

There will be glory after all..
Smile and Rejoice.
Give thanks in Advance.

Good Morning Lord

At every dawn of day My heart Rejoice and Sings: You deserve my worship you deserve My praise. Adoration and glory belongs to you always. Only God deserves it alll. Have you said Good Morning to the King of kings? Let your heart and soul rejoice and give all the praise to Him Always..
Psalms92:1-2"It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name O Most High,to proclaim your love in the Morning and your faithfullness at night".

Good Morning Lord..

Do not give up your Prayers.

Prayer! Prayer!! Prayer!!!

Our prayers are like mails being sent through the post.
The difference is its been sent to God on a special delivery and the content is to God for changes in our lives.
Prayer at times is like depositing money in the bank penny by penny by the time it is due for withdrawal, the penny that was of less worth would have increased in value.
The withdrawal will serve purpose the penny could not stand the increase without accumulating alone.
This is like a long term prayer request the time it will come to manifestation, you will pinch yourself to confirm if its reality or dream because it will fit all purpose.

Why do you want to give up on your prayers?
Never give up on your prayers.
Keep on praying in your closet and God will reward you openly.
Believe in the power of prayer, engage in praying and you will receive its reward in abundance in Jesus name. Amen

To my fellow single ladies……

Single and waiting

It is not easy to be waiting but through the grace of God you will pull through.
This message is not centred on anyone but just an eye opener for sisters in Christ. Like you know for every Ruth God will provide a Boaz.

Sisters always allow God to have His way in your marrital choice. Many wolves in sheep clothing are out there to mislead you.

They come to you saying;
Thus saith the Lord,you are perfect match for brother so and so whereas God has not spoken but mare man match making.  Or whilst praying God show you to me. 
Did you pray before saying yes?
Did you even seek God's will?
Are you just saying yes because you just want to be a Mrs?

Sisters do not be desperate to get married else you will fall into a ditch of struggle.
Some Brothers come to Church just to get a godly lady.
Where and when the Minsiter in charge is so concerned about wedding conduction in their ministry you will get all sought of Man spirit claiming to be Holy Spirit.
God can speak to you if you care and want to know when you have a father-daughter relationship with Him(God).

Many unordained marriages are coming to existence in the church these days because the parties involved have neglected their individual role of seeking the face of God and not just following what someone says.
This is equally increasing divorce rate.

Weddings are conducted without both parents consent but at the Ministers consent.
Sisters Let us be careful in our Marital Choice. 
God has a plan for you.
That minister will not be in the marriage with you but God.
So why can you not follow God's lead?
Are you Single and thinking of Mingling, be careful so that you will not Tangle.
Take the step when God ask you to.
Pray and wait the answer will come.
Beware of brothers that want to taste the waters.
Drop the garment of desperation.
Put on the garment of preparation by waiting,praying and listening.
God is not a man that He should  lie.

Single and waiting?
God will Beautify your waiting period with fulfilling and God ordained Marriage.

Written by Leah Adepeju Adebowale.

His Favor

God's favour will work for you irrespective of enemies,haters and frienemies conspiracy,Gossip,whisper and abuse.

Any Misuse of power against you will not stop God from working in a way that will favor you His child.
Haters,enemies,frienemies will definately try but be rest assured they will not triumph over you in Jesus name.

You are a chosen vessel in God's hand but remember pray for your enemies and never use evil to pay evil or evil to pay good.

It is well have a glorious day.

My God is UNLIMITED and UNSTOPPABLE.

Stand up, Get up, Move away from that slumber and Weariness...

A songs says;
Oluwa nsishe e ko mo(God is working even though you do not know)
Oluwa nshishe o nshishe e o Fura(God is at work but you are not noticing)
Dide ninu ibanuje,Irewesi ati idalebi(Stand up and move away from sorrow,weariness and condemnation)..

At times we focus on a thing so much because we want God to surprise us over it.
We lose focus on the things God is doing for us every second,Minute,Hour,day,Month and year.

As a result we become unnecessarily weary because our focus on just a thing is evetually taking toll on our faith so we begin to lose faith in God over just a thing then unbelief sets in.

God is at work.
Even though you can not see the manifestation just yet, your weariness will not speed the result up at all.
God is Unlimited and Unstoppable.
No one can stop Him from fulfilling His promises for us.
The enemy to anyone's Progress is SELF.
You are the first enemy to your answered prayers and promises.

Bible says we should be thankful in everything.
Weariness,complaint postpones manifestation of promises of God and answered prayer.
When you understand how great and Unlimited God is,
You will stand up from your weary corner.
You will start counting your blessing and see what God will and Has done.
You will start rejoicing and singing "it is already looking better for me" "I am going higher for the Lord is on the throne I am going higher"
You will begin to claim the promises and start thanking God for it.
Believe they will surely be fulfilled at a time that God only will be praised.

Halleluyah.

If you believe God is at work and He will fulfill all His promises concerning you,
Stand up now kick weariness away and start rejoicing.
My God is Unlimited and Unstoppable... 

Time..

Time is an infinite continued
progress of existence and event in past,present and future. It can also be defined as plan, schedule, period, age or season.(online dictionary)

Time I believe is an important thing that breeds things in life. It is expensive, essential but can either be lost by devaluing it or it can  appreciate by treating it with value.

Ecclesiastes3:1" there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under Heaven"(N.I.V)
ECCLESIASTES3:2-8 EXPLAINS FURTHER.

Time is something that people tend to waste, run ahead or ignore.
All we do, will do or have done has a specific timing to it which God had ordained.
Ecclesiastes12:1"Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, I find no pleasure in them".

We live in a world where everything is done ahead of the norm. Technology has done a great thing. Many live a life of fantasy before waking up to reality.

Things that are norm are now considered ancient. We aim for fast,faster and fastest. This leads to many running ahead of the time God had proposed for them in life hence ending up in a ditch.

The time of your youth is an important time and what you do with it is important. Many want easy and fast money. Some want quick fame. Some want undivided attention from the world around them even if its not in the plan of God for them.

Time!!!!!!""

It now seem like the thing of the past to enquire from God on steps to take in life. Some look at physical clocks ticking and base their life around that.
Time is something we ought to commit into God's hands. God's ways are not human ways. Running ahead of your God proposed time can ruin your purpose of existence or dent it.

Singles out there this is the time to give it all to God. Lay foundation that is solid in God. When your foundation is solid in God its difficult for it to be destroyed.

Psalms11:3"If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
This passage asks a very sensible and real question.
A person's foundation starts from craddle and what is planted in that foundation is what those that brought the person up had done.
Parents invest negatively or positively into a child's life but as the child grown, he/she become independent and choose what to follow and what not.

Parents/Guardian, what have you or are you investing in the life of your child(ren). Are you a modernised parent an i-mum/i-guardian and i-dad? iparents are the computer aged parents. 

Everything around their life and family life works like programming something on computer. The shift and delete button is always useful. No time to tell the children about their creator thus the children grow to become modernised i-individual.

The I here means Invisible. Even though you are a family but your existence and impact in your children's life is unknown, not seen or minimal. Your offspring grow to breed super I-generation.  You can not give what you do not have.

For every age we attain in life there is a specific timing. What we achieve and how we use it is important. Man lives but for a while, the time spent on earth will never outnumber the time spent in eternity.

When you allow God to walk/work with you in life by committing everything and seeking His face at All time you will fulfill every purpose for your life at the appointed time.Time is very essential.

Are you running ahead of time?
What are you doing or have done with your time?
Everything has a specific timing.
Birth,death,studies,career,health,wealth,single life,marriage e.t.c.
They all have a due time.

What are you doing with your time?
Do what is right when it is right. When you are meant to stay long in a place ask God to give you the grace to wait patiently and when you are meant to move on ask God to lead you so that as you move on you will not take the wrong direction or step.

Some had misuse their time, while some are clueless about it and some are just following other people, while some are faithfully and dilligently waiting on and following their creator as He leads.

Whatever you do against the time of God ends up working against you.
Do not jump because people around you are jumping.
The saying :when we are in Rome we behave like Romans does not always befit every situation. When you are in Rome choose what is Godly in the Romans that you lack not everything.

Some have misunderstand the timing of their life because the author of their life has been excluded from their life. When you do not take God's ways important in life though you might make it in the world's book but that book does not matter compared to the book of life.

All event in life is recorded in there and all shall account for it.
Many change the direction of their life as the trends in life changes.
What you do with your time is important to God. Make your time an edifying piece in life by doing the will and purpose of God concerning you.

Stop allowing unnecessary trend to dictate your timing but wait on God to give you unfailing direction.
There will be a time when what you did with your time will either stand to praise you or against you in condemnation. Which one do you want?

Whatever position you are right now, there is an appointed time assigned to it. When that time expires then you experience Change.

Taking Human life for example, time of conception,time of birth, time of physical growth and evetually time to say Goodbye to this world.

What you invest your time on earth in will determine where you spend your time in eternity.
Do not allow anything in life to stop you from spending your time in life in line with your God given destiny.

Some say I used to be vibrant and devoted in the Lord but since  I got this job,I had children,since I relocated to this place,Since I got married.

Quit giving excuses and ask for God to rekindle the fire of your first love in Him.

A song says;
My life time, I will give God my life time.
When I give God my life time.
He will take care of me.
He will never ever let  me down
I will give God my life time.

Many have eluded their time and no time left to correct their wrongs. Many have done what they ought to do at the right time and are enjoying eternal life now.
What is it that you are focusing on that is making you lose focus on what you are created for.

The later part of Ecclesiastes12:1 say before the days of trouble approach, i understand it as the time when there is no alternative left.
The time when you look back and regret. May we not regret in Jesus name.
In order not to regret invest godly and eternally in everything during your life time.

This message is for all of us including the writer(Adepeju). May God teach us to number our days that scripture is not only about birthday date as its often used there is more to it.

Time! Time!! Time!!!
GIVE GOD YOUR LIFE TIME.

From(http://leahadepehjuh.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/time.html?m=1)

Opinion

Opinion!!!

Everyone has an opinion they share about others.
This opinion is not only based on the relationship between them.
People have both honest and dishonest opinion about you.
Either they are close to you, family, friends or you do not even know them.
Everyone has one opinion about people either in spot light or not.
One thing people fail to consider is being in the other person's shoe.

Some look at your appearance and condemn everything about you not considering to know you better. While some take the time to know you and still share negative things about you. Some know everything, your wrong and right but will never judge you or have negative opinion about you. That is Human nature.

There is no supernatural being anywhere except God.
Whatever opinion you have about anyone think, rethink and put yourself in the person's shoe before you say negative things about others.

If it was possible to swap life would you swap your life with his/hers.

Try to be a soul lifter with your words not a soul cruncher.
You will give account of everywords before God.

Check your opinion; it does not mean you should lie or deceive people when you need to say the truth but never undermine people with your opinion.

If it was you what would you expect from that person?
Be your brothers keeper.
Your words go a long way check it always.
