Prayer from Hebrews 13:1-3

Hymn
John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.

Hebrews 13:1-3 KJV
Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Prayer :
Lord I  thank you for giving me the grace to witness this day in Jesus name amen.

Father increase your love in me so I can love people the way you want me to in Jesus name amen.

Father increase the ability of hospitality in me in Jesus name amen.

Father I pray for as many souls that are lost starting from my family to those i don't know, Lord use me to draw souls unto you with your amazing grace in Jesus name amen.

Oh Lord I pray for increase in compassion and wisdom to reach out in a way that I will depopulate hell and populate heaven in Jesus name amen.

Lord every thing that wants to destroy my testimony as a believer today let them be nullified in Jesus name amen.

Thank you Jesus for answered prayers in Jesus mighty name amen.

Human Soul

Soul according to online dictionary is defined  as the spiritual part of human being, its classified as a person's moral,  emotional nature or sense of identity.

Origin of Human Soul:
Genesis 2:7 KJV"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
From the scripture above, it's clear that human soul originated from God the creator. The first time man soul was mentioned was in the above scripture, it's from the breath of God.

Man consists of Body soul and spirit.  The soul has three components which are; 1)The Will
2) The Emotions
3) The  intellect
The intellect is the knowledge seat of the soul, the will digs into the intellect to get information that the emotion act upon.

There are three gateways to the soul and they are the eye, the mouth and the ears. The information the soul is fed with is gathered from what you hear, see and say. The emotion part of the soul determines how you relate with people and your openess to spirituality.  Evil forces target man's intellect because through this the will and emotion can be controled. That is why in the days we live in now many things contradicts the ways and will of God.

Things we hear or listen to, what we see on media and in the community at large obviously affects what we say if not for the fear and grace of God in us. That is why it is essential to feed our soul by subjecting the body under the works of the spirit.

The body will not always want to read the word of God but to do the will of God, we  must be determined and ask for grace to subject the body under the works of the Holy Spirit.  We need to fill our spirit up by engaging in that which encourage or promotes the growth of the fruit of the spirit.
Galatians 5:16-25 KJV"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

The body is human beings earth suit, it's what gives you authority to be on earth. That is why when someone dies (which is the absence of life) immediately the name changes to body. They start saying "get the body ready for the mourge and so on". So the body is like a shelter for the soul and spirit and that is what makes a man to physically exist on earth. The body will be buried but not the soul. The soul goes on in the other life that is Heaven or Hell.

This brings us to the world and human soul. Matthew 16:26 KJV"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
There is nothing in this world that can be  exchange to where a soul spends eternity. Except a soul is redeemed and saved through accepting Jesus Christ has it's Lord and saviour, spending eternity in Heaven is impossible. 

God is the creator and He alone can create and He should be respected above any power or forces. This includes power that can cause absence of life.
Matthew 10:28 KJV"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

How do I guard my soul from destruction?
It's only by the grace of God but you must play your part by being determined to live for God after accepting Christ as your Lord and saviour. Also you should not be self centred by guarding or thinking about your soul alone. All souls belongs to God Ezekiel 18:4 KJV"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." God doesn't want any soul to perish but any body that dies in sin  the soul will perish.

God's will for all Souls.
2 Peter 3:9-10 KJV"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

Jesus came for redemption of lost souls to their maker(God).
Luke 19:10 KJV"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
John 3:15-18 KJV "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Lastly I will talk about animals. Scientifically, human beings are classified as Animals but have supremacy over other animals because of our intellects, morals and spiritual thoughts.  The question might be playing on our mind that does animals(excluding human being) have a soul?
Genesis 1:25-27 KJV"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
From the scripture above we have the answer that animals do not have soul. Human being are the only ones God made in his image and breathed the breath of living soul in.

One thing we must all understand is there is uniqueness in every soul. No two souls are thesame, the part that  face judgement on the last day is the human soul.  The Human spirit and soul inter relate more in a way that shows in the human body. Having said that they can work independently.
Luke 1:46b-47 KJV"My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." The soul is immortal that is why at the end of existence on earth the soul carries on to the next life.

My question to you and I is where will my soul or your soul spend eternity? By now you should know better.

If by now you are unsure of your salvation and you don't want your soul to perish say this prayer;
Lord Jesus I acknowledge I am a sinner. Have mercy on me. I believe you are the saviour, I accept you as my lord and saviour. Henceforth grant me grace to live for you all the days of my life. At the end of my existence on earth count  me worthy of your Kingdom and write my name in the book of life in Jesus name amen.

Prayer from Daniel 3; 1, 4'6, 22-14, 17-19, 21, 23-25

Daniel 3:1, 4-6, 12-14, 17-19, 21, 23-25 KJV
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego. Then they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Prayer :

Prayer from JONAH 1:11-17

Song
He can never ever change
He can never ever fail
He can never ever change
Jesus thesame forever.

Jonah 1:11-17 KJV

Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. Wherefore they cried unto the Lord , and said, We beseech thee, O Lord , we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord , hast done as it pleased thee. So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord , and made vows. Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Prayer From Jonah 1:1-12

Song
You are the Lord you changeth not.
You are the Lord you changeth not.

Jonah 1:1-12 KJV
Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord , and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord . But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou? And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord , the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord , because he had told them. Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

Prayer:
Heavenly father thank you for this glorious day I worship you in Jesus name amen.

Ego and Emotions

Ego is said to be a feeling of one's sense of self esteem or self importance. When you think much of yourself as being too important than your folks. An unwillingness to admit fault or a reluctance to take responsibility for one's actions. You always want to be in charge, be the one to recorn with, you always want to do the talking and never do the listening. Ego does not make peace, rather its Victim remains an Island. Ego is stubborn, it does not want to be instructed, it wants to instruct others.

Every Adamic creature has got an element of ego. When Adam sin against God and ate the forbidden fruit, though fear gripped him for he has lost his boldness and position with God yet the Ego in him voiced out and gave the excuse. Though the excuse was to an extent teneable but wasn't genuine, but in the process was blaming God for giving him the woman.

Quite a lot of best relationships today have been ruined by Ego. Nothing kills a relationship more quickly than ego. To be able to truly love yourself and to truly be able to love someone else you must drop the ego.  Basically, its aboslutely essential to finding an amazing relationship, but it's equally critical to maintaining and continually improving a relationship once you are already in it.

Having a long lasting relationship, you must seperate your ego from yourself. This is true if you want to be able to totally love yourself. We are all ego driven to some extent, let's acknowledge it and embrace what we need to seperate the ego to cultivate and maintain a truly amazing relationship with someone.

What brought about the fall of Lucifer?  He said, he would lifthimself and his throne above God's. Therefore, we see that kind of ego manifest when a person esteems himself above the value of another, but God says we are all equal in His eyes. Lucifer was never equal with God, but as far as human relationship are concerned, no one person is better than another. Remember that, and you will be on your way to avoiding ego. It won't get you anywhere, rather will constitute a stumbling block on your path to greatness.

Aspire to decrease that christ might increase in you. May you never be a cast away. Amen.(Written By Adebanjo Adedeji A K.A. Gentle Dee)

Filled with Emotions.

I am a creature made by God in His image who's  appearance is compared to a  flower.

My features can be classified with different words.

I can multitask not because I want to but because it's part of my creation.

My heart is fragile but strong enough to carry a lot of things.

My love is genuine and sharing it with someone/people that respects me give me courage to love more.

I can nag when things seem wrong and I want to fix them.
My nagging is not always for negative response but a way of being heard.

When I love I love with all I have.

I carry an extraordinary strength to keep a lot of things together at the same time that strength can be misused in moment of irrational thinking.

My capacity to be a leader is not less than my counterpart but still being submissive(1Peter3:6) in nature is one thing I possess naturally which is the will of My Maker.

I work with all my strength and might to keep my environment in a way that promotes godliness.

My emotions can take over my actions and can be misinterpreted for weakness but it's part of what makes me who I am.

Tampering with my emotion is like puting a rock on the back of a snail even though its already slow in movement yet you expect it to carry on at thesame pace.

My emotion is something that inspires me to do more even when I am weak because it's part of my strength.

All I want is respect for who I am.
All I want is to be treated well for I am a weaker vessel(1 Peter3:7) and not a slave.
All I want is to share my life with someone with a heart of flesh and fear of God.
All I want is to be handled with care and not battered with heavy fist and words that will damage my worth.
All I want is to be loved.

I am not saying I am perfect but I am fearfully and wonderfully made according to the word of God in PSALMS 139:14.

I AM A WOMAN NOT JUST A WOMAN BUT A PRICELESS JEWEL.
I AM NOT THE TYPE THAT CRAVE AND INDULGE IN MUNDANE THINGS BUT THE TYPE THAT SEEK AFTER GOD, THIRST AND GROW IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD.
I AM A VESSEL TO HONOUR.
I AM A WOMAN OF HIGH ESTEEM IN THE LORD. (WRITTEN BY LEAH BUKONLA ADEPEHJUH A.K.A. LPJ)

Prayer From Isaiah 40:29-31

Song:
How great is the Lord
Sing with me how great is the Lord
All will sing how great, how great is the Lord.
You're the name above all names
You are worthy of our praise
And our mouth will sing how great is the Lord

Isaiah 40:29-31 KJV
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Lord Jesus great and mighty are you thank you for this new dawn in Jesus name amen.
