Mark 10:23-25 NKJV
"Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”  And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

This passage above gets me thinking most time I read it. Some believers have a wrong perception of riches when they quote this scripture. God isn't saying that He doesn't want His children to be rich it's a warning for those who depend so much on riches that they forget that one day they will leave the wealth and whatever they have acquired and return back to their maker. Riches isn't only about material things, you can be rich in things that aren't material and focus so much on it to the extent of turning it to your God. Some have pursued riches to the extend of taking people's lives. They forget that God is the God of abundance when you seek Him first you won't be pursuing riches but riches will pursue you. I don't know who this message is for this day you are fantasising so much about riches and you are gradually losing your purpose of existence. Jehovah Jireh never lacks and once you are connected to him you won't lack. The children of lion can beg but the children of God won't beg. God will supply all the needs of His children according to His Riches. GOD IS NOT A BEGGER SO YOU CAN'T BE A BEGGER. When He bless you don't turn that blessing (riches) to God, there are different stages in life but we hope and pray for best through Christ Jesus. So dear friend don't allow riches of the world to take you out of God’s Riches. Have a fullfilling day!

Romans 4:17-18 NKJV
"(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”

We claim the blessings of Abraham a lot which is good but most times we forget that He was a man of Faith. Before he became father of many nations, he obeyed God and believed Him with all he had. From the scripture above we are made to understand that God whom Abraham believed in gives life to the dead and calls things that were not as if they were. Such example was when he told Abraham who's wife was barren that he would be father of many nations which eventually happened.

The road to the fulfilment of God’s promises isn't always smooth, there would be mountains, hills, valley, trials of all sought but faith and positive proclamation is essential to encounter victory. Victory is empowered by faith and divine leading. Today dear friend that barren land you think can never yield can yield if you hand it over to God and proclaim greatness on it. Remember you can call things that were not as if they were. The doctor's report can be reversed, your status can change, your marriage can be healed, your child can change and come home like the prodigal son did when he came back to his senses. Don't ruin the situation with your words due to circumstances around, speak life into the dead circumstances,  speak breakthrough,  speak deliverance and back it up with faith and righteousness.  Have a blessed day.

Philippians 1:9-11 RV1885
"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."

This prayer written by Apostle Paul is a prayer every believer that is Heaven conscious  must pray sincerely and always. It takes constant renewal of one's mind and determination to allow God to rule over one's life in order to live a life that is Christ like. May God enlighten us more in Jesus name amen.
Have a blessed day!

Hebrews 12:2a ASV" looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith,"

As believers we relate our situation a lot with the word which is a very wise thing to do. Many are times that we do quote the word of God but fail to back it up with full faith. It's not because we want to but because the flesh in us won't just step down easy except we fight against it. Imagine after saying I look up to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith yet you still play God in the situation of your life.

You try to make things work a certain way neglecting the fact that your ability without full trust in God and obedience to Him is futile. I look up to Jesus the author and finisher of my faith but still I must cut corners ahead of His plan who are you deceiving?  Who are you delaying?  Who are you denying of experiencing the extraordinary?  Think!!!! No one but yourself.

Dear friend when you quote the word back it up with active and holy faith that is don't be domant and expect miracle to happen and don't run ahead of God peeping into unrighteousness just because your want is becoming great. May God help us all in Jesus name amen.

Have a blessed day!

Proverbs 18:2 AMP
A [self-confident] fool has no delight in understanding but only in revealing his personal opinions and himself.

**I have a lot to say!!!**
The phrase above is common, at least you must have heard it once. The scripture above likened the person that talks without understanding just for the sake of talking to a fool. A fool they say, have to say something while the wise have something to say. Some times we have found ourselves in such position wanting to pour out our mind at all cost not necessarily thinking of the consequences.  It's not bad pouring your mind out but there are times when you need to apply wisdom. A person that talks like parrot is an easy tool for destroying relationship. When you talk do you listen to what you say as well as listen to others?

You and I must have been guilty of such either in the past or at present. Today the word of God is telling us to briddle our tongue put a guard on it. Don't be the chair person of fools. The word of God says wisdom is profitable to direct, His word also says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Basically if His fear resides in you, wisdom will accompany your utterances. That means you check what you say and not say what you check. Understanding what the fear of God is through His word will deepen your level of wisdom.

Let your words even on social media be words of wisdom, Don't follow the crown target the everlasting crown. We shall give account of all we say either in our closet or on social media one day. May God help us and teach us  how to guard our tongues in Jesus name amen.
Have you got a lot to say? Check before saying don't say before checking. Stay fulfilled.

Philippians 2:1-4 NKJV
Therefore if there  is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be  done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

For any fellowship to be of the Holy Spirit,  there must be unity. For unity to stand in the midst of people from different background there must be love and their goal must tally. It is a futile effort to do anything for God all because of selfish ambition. Your ambition must be handed over to God for you to function in line with His will and way. To work well as united beings, one must not esteem them self better than the other. In the body of Christ this day we have preferences on what we will do for God and how we will do it. Forgetting that our choice must be left aside and His choice must be the first and preceding choice. To function in His will you must be ready to look out for others interest and not just your interest. You must be a willing sheep and not a goat spirited sheep. The sheep never complains about the shepherd it follows the shepherd because it knows the shepherd has its best interest at heart.
My brothers and sisters in your walk with or service to God always allow His will to rule over yours, never esteem your self higher or better than anyone let it be all for God and not for man.

May our labour in His vineyard be acceptable and not in vain in Jesus name amen.
Have a fruitful day.

Esther 1:16, 19, 21 AMP
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen has not only done wrong to the king but also to all the princes and to all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus. If it pleases the king, let a royal command go forth from him and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and Medes, so that it may not be changed, that Vashti is to [be divorced and] come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she. This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did what Memucan proposed.

The Rope Holder. .
Most of us are familiar with the story of Queen Vashti in the book of Esther. While studying this portion of the scripture something jumped out like I have never read it before. The decision of King Ahasuerus to replace Vashti wasn't made by him. Memucan who was an advisor to the king suggested what should be done to Vashti so that such behaviour would not be copied by other house wives across the land. The king did not even hesitate, he agreed and a decree was passed to affirm that decision. Memucan was a rope holder, if he had advised that the queen be purnished and given back her position or be killed the king might have done that. We all have people like Memucan in our lives and family. People who solicits either positively or negatively over our lives. Having watched lots of African home movies, in some you will see people who report others to their group (witches/cultist) there is always a vital decision that they act upon. If they choose to change that person's destiny so be it, some are killed, some are taught life changing lessons just like in the case of Vashti.  Today friends I want us to pray that anyone born of woman that makes it their duty to solicit negatively in order to terminate our assignments or have us replaced the Lord should terminate their position in Jesus name amen.
May the Lord save us and ours from the likes of Memucan in Jesus name amen.
Have a glorious day!

Esther 2:7-9, 11 AMP
He had brought up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was beautiful and lovely, and when her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter. So when the king's command and his decree were proclaimed and when many maidens were gathered in Shushan the capital under the custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken to the king's house into the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. And the maiden pleased [Hegai] and obtained his favor. And he speedily gave her the things for her purification and her portion of food and the seven chosen maids to be given her from the king's palace; and he removed her and her maids to the best [apartment] in the harem. And Mordecai [who was an attendant in the king's court] walked every day before the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and what would become of her.

The Rope Holder. ..
The story of Esther is mostly used as a Biblical reference for favour. It is clear to us that Mordecai was Esther's Uncle. He raised her up in the fear of the Lord. Mordecai was a rope holder,  this days some people have the privilege of raising other people's kid up, instead they use them to favour their own children. If Mordecai had raised Esther up in an ill way well he would have reaped it.  Mordecai held the rope tight even when Esther was at the stage of uncertainty of either becoming a use and dumb lady by the king or the future Queen. Mordecai ensured he was close by getting the job of an attendant in the King's court thus giving him access to information about what was going on where Esther was. My point is, at this privileged stage we need to do the will of God and not abuse the power we have over others. The person might not even be a blood relative never discriminate, do as much as the Lord gives you power to. Don't wait for the person to pay you back or reward you Let God reward all your good deeds. I pray the Lord will give us understanding of His will concerning our deeds in life in Jesus name amen.

Have a blessed day.

Joshua 2:10-13 AMP
For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the [east] side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. When we heard it, our hearts melted, neither did spirit or courage remain any more in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath. Now then, I pray you, swear to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father's house, and give me a sure sign, And save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all they have, and deliver us from death.

The life of Rahab before she met the spies was nothing to be proud of, she became the Rope older that saved the spies from the king of Jericho and also the Rope holder for the salvation of her family. This led to her being in the lineage of Jesus Christ. There is a lesson here for you and I, Christ found us when we were like Rahab. We were born in sin soaked and baptised in iniquity right from our mother's womb but He already paid the price for our salvation.  Fortunately for us we came to know Him through being evangelised to by someone. Look at Rahab she didn't become selfish, she asked for the salvation of her family. Some of us have been saved for years but fail to stand in gap for other people's salvation even close relatives. It would be nice if we could care much for unbeliver's soul as we care for ours. Rahab's family became privileged to know the God of Israel through Rahab's loving act. Today hold the rope tight lead someone to Christ.
Have a great day!
