With God

John 15:5

 

If there is anything that should be done this year, If there is anything to be achieved/established/accomplished then it should be ‘With God’!.

God is conscious of placing His children well (Genesis 1:28), and He delights in your well-being and success.. Well all should be in Him. 

This are changed times, trying moments with series of challenges and difficulties will arise but ‘With God’.... (Luke 1:37).

This year, It will only turn out better ‘With God’.

Confess Him Lord And Saviour

 

Christianity involves more of proclamations, pronunciations and confessions. God, proclaimed Jesus ‘Son’ during His baptism (Matthew 3:17), Jesus himself in the work of His ministry proclaimed God several times; telling people about God, His will, words and power. And after the death of Jesus, He showed up once again and told the disciples to share the word of the gospel to every creature noting that all power has been given to Him (Jesus)!

  Have you received Christ? If Yes, You Must confess Him Lord and Savior. God is ever proud of Jesus, being the Lamb to wash the sins of men and bringing salvation in full and free and He never stop to boast about Him, So why would you (that He died for) not confess/pronounce Him Lord and Savior.

The gospel you have received is not a cell phone that is to be kept in your pocket, It is not what you should hid or accept and keep to yourself alone; It is to be proclaimed! To tell it to more people, then tell them to tell more people! You do need to pronounce Him Lord, to attest how wonderful He really is. People should hear about this Jesus from you, telling them He is Lord indeed and the Savior of all.

In doing this, you’re further proving that you love God, and it will also constantly remind people that you stand for Jesus. Don’t just say ‘I believe Him’ with a solemn voice, Say it loud to affirm your believe, defeat the Devil and win more people for Christ, It can never be too much to continually proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior. Remember that: ‘Anyone who is ashamed of Christ on earth, Christ will be ashamed of such person in heaven’ Luke 9:26

Obedience Still Counts

 Sometimes, it is best to explain Obedience as ‘compliance and total submission to an order, law or request; even at difficult, inconvenient moments’. Yes, that explanations gives the reality of what Obedience will actually demand and cost us in reality. Usually, it is easy for anybody to talk about ‘obedience’ but attention is not always drawn to the fact that obedience never always comes with ‘convenience’ or to say the flesh will always want to counter obedience.

Obedience still counts! Brethren, it always a tactics of the Devil and the remnant of the flesh (old ways) in a person’s life to counter any place where Obedience is demanded (Proverbs 10:17). Open the Bible and draw your points of reference from every great person identified in the Bible, you’ll be able to note that: Obedience is either attached to their success or greatness or maybe they fell and couldn’t obey (which is always the work of the Devil’s deceit, greed, ignorance etc.)

There are examples of persons in the Bible who fell victims and could not obey, but it will be best to talk about the ones who obeyed and prevailed. Jesus amongst others, HE obeyed the Father. He never counted himself equal with God, but He simply obeyed even at difficult moments (Philippians 2:6) He was God also himself, but He obeyed to the call of His mission: To die for the sins of mankind.

You are also a believer, but you don’t trust God even to obey His words? Well, that is no good. God demands obedience to every of His words (James 1:22). This will not cost you anything, begin building trust and confidence in God, Humble yourself (even to authorities in the Church, Work place and even the country). John 14:23 Deliberately Step Ahead to Begin Please And Obey God From Today Onward!

‘Church’ Not Mere Building

 

Ephesians 5:23-24 Colossians 1:18

The church is the assembly of the ‘Saints’. The gathering of people who believes in Christ, and Christ alone! That’s why we as Christians are addressed as Believers.. Believers of the true undiluted words of the gospel. 

So therefore; the Church is an entity not a thing/not a building/not the instrument or equipments.. It is a ‘BODY’ hence the BODY OF CHRIST. The fact is, While Christ is the head of the Church, the Church is His body, We Believers are the part the one whole body of Christ, and He will build His Church and prevent the gates of Hell from prevailing.

The identity of the Church is hidden in Christ! Christ is then builder of the Church! Christ is the Founder amen originator.  

   But today, a lot of people get it wrong with the perspective of what the Church really is, just like folks in the past misunderstood the Church too (Matthew 16:13-18). 

The Church was founded on the platform orb the revelation of Christ, So Dear Believer, It is just not the sweet instruments, not only the nicely constructed building or the location.. It is YOU.. It You flowing with the very agenda of the concept of the ‘Church’, which is: Believing, the true words of the gospel, Discipleship and Discipling, Exhibiting greatness, Living as Light, Exercising your true identity in Christ, and finally fulfilling the words ‘... And the gates of Hell shall not prevail’

Displaying Wisdom

 Matthew 7:24

Reading through this content, please take note that the topic "Displaying Wisdom" is beyond just showcasing the wisdom you have, but this is to invoke into your style of living a great weapon for Divine Wisdom. To start with, please consider Matthew 7:24 carefully... and then mediate in comparison with the topic. This content is not pointing solely on the saying that Spiritual knowledge is the only knowledge Christians can acquire, Believers can acquire knowledge in different fields; medicine, art, tech, culture (in fact, Wisdom is good for your health👌😄).

   This, is to bring to you the very essence of living a life... solely dependent on the Words of God, for Wisdom to Live triumphantly! One great fact about this 'Wisdom' is that, Wisdom is the ability to adapt to Change. Change here does not specially mean change like from bad to evil or vice versa, or maybe change as in great times to dull moments or whatever... Change here👉 is actually the constant phenomenon, that sometimes happen without our consent or whether we want it or not, and it keeps us in check; HOW..: changes keeps our lives interesting, when we live, fight, overcome, get promoted, face new challenges, get over them and get promoted...and on and on. But in all the stages mentioned above, You need just more than wisdom, But Wisdom acquired from the words of God.

    God affirmatively pronounces that life will not be a smooth track, but the toughness will not overcome us (John 16:33), But how can that be, if not for the provisions of the readily available source that we have: GOD'S WORDS

     

      One thing that will keep you evergreen, a surety for wins and wins on all your 'change' is the Wisdom that you acquire from God's words, and display in your living. Wisdom that's not utilized, is no wisdom.In  Matthew 7:24-27 the 'Wise' is He that puts the words of God into practice...

   Wisdom acquired from God's words do not necessarily have to please men, they may even antagonize it, they may not see from the perspective of what you see... But don't relent or get discouraged, as your Wisdom will pay off while people will see glory of God greatly in you. You wouldn't need to bother too much about the 'change' coming ahead, just when you have yourself built on the solid rock of God's word and timely display of wisdom. You just smile wide, because the Wisdom in Word is available and sufficient, whatever the 'change'

   Apply God's Word... Display Wisdom (not in pride, but to showcase the Life, Truth and Spirit in God's Word)

  Also compare: Acts 20:32, Proverbs 4:7, II Timothy 2:15, Galatians 4:1, Psalms 119:105.

Utilizing God's-Own Currency

 

    This content focuses more on boasting the passion, zeal: To make proper use of every of God's own currency in your capacity.

 Also to draw a little focus on the important fact that every individual has got a purpose as to which His/her creation or birth is attached to... Likewise, how crucial it is to find out that very purpose and to 'Work and Run' with it. But right now, this content is a CALL to UTILIZE every single one of GOD'S owned CURRENCY.  Currency here, means the very gifts and talents that God has endowed every individual with... Waoooww; you are getting introduced to another word for 'gifts and talents'. 

   This can never be over-emphasized, and that is: the need for understanding about following through the standards of God, towards pleasing Him...by utilizing the very gifts, talents, resources He has given to us! And for a god understanding we have all standards and understandings about guidelines for utilization of these currencies in the books of the Bible.. Matthew 25:14-30, I Corinthians 12:-12, I Corinthians 14:1-10

Please Understand These:

... God's own currencies are the gifts, talents He has endowed us with; (Matthew 25:1). Consider how it would look like, If God had actually sent us all down to planet earth without nothing... No gift, no talent, imagine what the world would have looked like right now. Just as the the Master in Matthew 25:1 equipped His servants, gave them resources and something to live for, and work with... Same way, God has endowed, equipped every living creature with something valuable.

.... MOST IMPORTANTLY: Use/Utilize that every currency you have right now. it is this simple: somebody has given you a gift, acknowledge it, then go ahead making use of it properly to in turn benefit that person and even uplift your own life to a great point. Don't look at what currency someone else has on the place, do not let that stop you from using what you have to the peak... Who knows, your own currency might outshine that of others. "The more adequate usage, the more incredible increase". Just whatever you find in your hands, Use it for God alone... work not to please men or yourself... Don't use it to gain attention... Just use it properly knowing that if you don't: It will be taken away, giving to someone else, replacement with another available vessel. GOD NEEDS YOU! HE NEEDS YOU TO USE HIS INVESTMENTS! Don't waste away...

 

The Good Savior

 WAITING ON GOD FOR SALVATION

Waiting patiently unto God does not beget mourning, regret, sober reflection, frustration, desperation, or living a tattered life.

The real meaning of WAITING is to hold on for a result (1sam10:7-27).

This is the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietnness and trust is your strength, ... (Isaiah 30: 15-17). Waiting is also silence in hope (Isa32:17) and looking unto God & depending on Him.

Don't look at what people are doing, don't be moved but hope in God and be involve in working and expecting God's timely intervention.

Waiting unto God is forging ahead in the midst of threatening challenges and temptation without a doubt about God's salvation (Lam5:20; Psalm130:5,6)

 

WHY SHOULD WE WAIT ON HIM ?

It's pertinent to patiently wait unto the Independent Immortal God beacuuse of His Unequalness, Steadfastness,

Reliability, Certainty, Faithfulness.

  

With Him, all things are  possible. He is always eager and ready to  assist the righteousness. He retrieves and gives power

He does His things with timeness for those that believe in Him. He doesn not come too early, or late. 

He is always on alertness and  sensitive to fight for those waiting unto Him because He is omnipotent, omniscience, omnisapient.

There may be challenges such as barreness, failure, enemies, sickness, marital problem etc. just wait on Him, patiently. He would save you because He is a Good Saviour.

Men are independent of God, many are desperate in their ungodly act and at end of the day, they find theirself in big problem (Psalm119:67,68).

Dont allow what you're passing through now to demote you spiritually i.e don't let your challenges lure you away from God. Wait patiently/gently on God for from Him, your salvation comes. 

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. Are you in Lagos? Worship with us, this Sunday at

Calculating Actualities

 Luke 14:28 

One thing is a key characteristic of darkness, and it is Confusion. Many things face us; as a technique of fight.. against us from the Devil, as Christians but one prominent amongst many and it is ‘CONFUSION’ 

We sometimes take excuse for Confusion to be ‘Ignorance’, but forgetting that John 16:8 ‘... He will expose the ‘error’ of the godless world’s view of sin...’ (The Message Bible version). In this Bible passage, note the word ‘expose error’.  To get a good understanding of this content, it is necessary to digest everything about the Holy Spirit. 

• God wants us to be knowledgeable; infact the Bible states that if any lacks knowledge He/She can ask from God. That means there is a free space for us to as for wisdom from God; and Why ask wisdom from God... Wisdom not just for academic use, or for any field of career alone, not just for the vineyeard of God alone as well.. But there is another field you must apply wisdom and that is— Calculating Acutalities. 

• This is not Mathematics 😁; but Real-Life Statisitcs. Actuality means ‘What is, in reality’ what actually exists! I support the teachings of ‘Faith’ as states in the Bible,but yet you have to know how to ‘Calculate Actualities’.

•Calculating Actualities is never telling you to limit God or becoming Faith-less or to begin depending on your might... But you just cannot sit and build on what is not, in reality. Consider that God- approves ‘Faith’ as a life hack for us to live our lives with.. But also, consider different times and situations where God also calculated Actualities. He looks through the earth, from time to time and examine things well before taking any actions. He calculates well before sending any vessel, before working out who and what to use/do.

•Farmers knows exactly How/What/Where/When to work out plantings each season! Even a King sits to calculates, same as a builder who will sit and calculate.

•You just must Sit, Calculate, Arrange, if you wouldn’t run bankrupt, or regret, or do more than your ability.. You must Calculate. And choose wisely!Z

 

CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP

Mark 3:14, John 14:15, Mark 8:34 To disciple means to 'direct', to 'coordinate',or to 'guide' a person or persons. It is also possible that yu have other meanings as to what discipleship means,But right here this content wants you to take a look at any other word that as well explains discipleship ,likewise establishes a concrete meaning and helps us to point understanding in the very perfect context;and that word is "Mentoring/Mentorship"! 

YEA, let's move... Everyone, at some point needs to undergo mentorship. Well, if you ask me why I'd simply put that: You want to dive, sail, and not sink.. You want to 'live' , then you gotta to 'learn' first! and like it's said "No Crown, No Glory".. then the same way:

 

 To live without so much 'scar', you need to learn to the 'process' from another. At certain spots in your life, you will definitely need to be mentored. to get a degree is good, To start and make success at your job, business, project is sweet, To say generally: Success is a good thing.. but before then you need someone to put you through, introduce you, advice you, help you, show you... this mentorship is what "Refines" and "Redefines" us into a Pro, into that person that can go confidently and 'commence' start a fresh kingdom. 

Believer; God loves to use Men to perform and show His glory, Yet God loves 'skilled' hands to handle His works. check and see the lives of Men whom God used in The Bible; they'd gone through 1 or 2 processes before they became useful vessels in the hands of God. 

 See David (I Samuel 17:33-37), Read about Moses (Exodus 2:18, 3) Moses was already familiar with tendering the flock and even the environment (wilderness) before He started leading the Israelite, See Samuel, Elisha... God employs vessels who are experienced, who have served and are trusted, who are tried and verified. Not those who are half baked, amateur, coward, lazy, cold, short-sighted... 

Do you have prayeras  'muscles', you have Faith as 'shield', you have righteousness as your 'breast-plate' you still need to be tutored and come to much understanding and experience.

Become fashioned and tailored into that grown Christian, LEARN, stay at your post of TRAINING, and FINISH.. Don't rush😊👬👊 

LOCKED BUILDINGS BECOME CHURCH AGAIN AS WE REOPEN

 

ugust 08, 2020

The wall of Jericho has fallen and locked buildings become church again as there is huge progress in defeating COVID19 in Nigeria and around the World. In March 2020, the Government of Nigeria ordered the closure of worship centres "buildings" in effort to eradicate the spread of the pandemic that hits the World. 

Day after day passed with the buildings under lock but the church is never locked as we believe and understand that "the church is not a building but a congregation of Christians" which may sometimes be our respective homes, places of work or anywhere, as the case may be or  the need arises just as the case of the lockdown. Family fellowships, social media channels were resolved to, to glorify God

Heaven declares the glory of God God; skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day pour forth speech; night after night display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out to all earth; their words to the end of the World (Psalm 19:1-4a). We always join our voices with that of the heaven to declare His glory; with the skies to proclaim the work of His hands, and these are loud and clear to all earth and ends of the World for the glory of God because He will never share His glory with anyone.

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday, August 1, 2020, during a press briefing on COVID-19, at the State House, Marina Lagos, made disclosure of reopening of worship centres. He said that religious leaders must make available hand sanitizers, thermometer guns and ensure that social distancing is maintained.

The Governor in his statement said, “Places of worship in Lagos will now be opened from Friday, August 7 for our Muslim worshippers and on Sunday, August 9 for our Christian worshippers.

“We will only be allowing 50% of their capacity at either the church or the mosque. Churches that have Saturday worship day will also be allowed to start holding their Saturday worship. We must reiterate that places of worship are only permitted to have their regular once a week service on designated days.’’

In respect to the order of Lagos State Government, we wish to inform all the Jesus family that all our worship centres would be opened for service from 7:00 am on Sunday 9th August, 2020 on 50% capacity in line with the State Government regulations. It is also pertinent to note that wearing of face mask is a necessity; washing of hands with soap and water and/or sanitizing the hands with sanitizers at the entrance of the church as this shall be the mode of operation till further instruction is received .

May the grace of God be with us forever. See you on Sunday  @ THE GOOD SAVIOUR BIBLE CHURCH

Worship with us: 20, Abbi Avenue Orile Iganmu Lagos, Nigeria.

A Little Knowledge Is Dangerous

Hosea 4:6 Proveebs 24:5

Knowledge is indeed power, BUT the powers in knowledge is in complete knowledge and practice. 

A little knowledge is rather a dangerous thing. 

Please 🙏 read along, as you get an illustration with this brief story.

  On a hot summer noon, some camel men stayed beneath a bunch of tree for some rest. They set their camels to graze. One of the families entered into a melon field and started eating the melons. And by chance a melon got jammed in the camel’s throat. The animal began to make noise, the owner saw it and he understood what had happened.

   The owner quickly got a blanket and wrapped it on the neck of the camel and hit it with a wooden mallet. Then the melon broke and the camel swallowed easily. 

  A passerby saw the whole process and what had happened; He thought the camel owner had cured the footer of the camel. He was happy to learn the treatment for goiter. 

  Then this man went to his own village and introduced himself as a physician who can treat goiter. 

An old lady with goiter came to this man to get treated, and the man did the same things the camel owner did (a blanket and a mallet...) 

But unfortunately as a result of a hard blow, the old lady died. The villagers laid old of the quack physician and handed him over to the police.

This scenarios plays around all the time, in one way or the other. A lot of people administer medications they know little or nothing about which can lead to severe complications. 

Some people have tried to answer questions they know nothing about and it has landed them into serious troubles. 

Some people have ventured into business activities, projects, constructions they know nothing about.

It is a great thing to be a believer, baptized and living a renewed life, Oh Yes.. But it is a necessity to not be satisfied with shallow understandings but thirst after immense knowledge. 

‘In all thy getting..’

Get knowledge, large amount of it.

There Is A Better Place

John 14:1-4

‘I’m on my way to Heaven and the journey gets sweeter everyday

Walking with Jesus, Talking with Jesus; all along the way,

My soul gets so happy, I shout and I sing both night and day, 
Yes, I'm on my way to Heaven and the journey gets sweeter every day!" 

Extracted from Walt’s Mill’s hymn ‘Am on my way to Heaven’

Our desire in this life determines the rate at which we run our Christian race. If we so desire to run this race successfully, We must make heaven our sole target. No matter how enjoyable this earth is, this place is not our final resting place. 

In the world today, the devil is using so many things to distract people; many Believers have left what they ought to see and they are now seeing other things. No wonder we have Believers; seriously chasing the mundane the things of this life☹️. 

They have allowed the comfort of their families, Carter’s, beauty consciousness, pursuit of relationships and so on to take away their time and relationship with God. Today’s scripture admonishes us to be ‘alert’ ‘awake’ ‘Heaven-conscious’. Ephesians 6:10-16...🙏

Having at heart that we are not fighting a physical war (🔪💣⚔️🗡), But a spiritual battle and warfare!🙇🏻‍♀️.

The devil’s greatest desire is to remove our focus from Heaven, and crowd one with weights that pulls down the Christian race.

Heaven is our eternal place of rest. It is a better place than the place we may be right now. Where there will be no sorrow, tear, bitterness. ‘What no man has seen before, what has not come into the thoughts of any man before...’That is what/where God has prepared to be the resting and better place of every Christian that fights and uphold till the very end.

Be heaven conscious. Do not live as if you’d never leave this planet Earth, rub your face with ultimate desire to win and earn the crown of glory, reigning with the KING💪

Desire God, Ask for Grace, Pray for the Comforter, Draw closer to God’s Word, Pray, Preach nad give meaning to people’s life.

Heaven is real! Heaven is the better place! Heaven is the best place!

Living As ‘Light’

Ephesians 4:17-32

‘With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness’s; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him...’

As believers, one of the great tasks you are entitled to.. Is to live as ‘light’ in the world. One of the sweetest task to be performed while we are still alive is to live as ‘light’.

As a believer, you just cannot live; going every way and direction the world goes too. ‘Only dead fish flow with the tide’.

You gotta live as light, to pose a difference between you as a believer and an unbeliever.

...You have met with Christ, show it to the world.☺️🤗. You are in the image of God; reveal that image to people.

Matthew 5:13-16

The world is not free of the darts, cunniness and tactics of the Devil; so you are assigned to live as a shinning light everywhere we find ourselves.

We find excuses to excuse ourselves from this duty; giving a complaint of not having any opportunity or avenue to carry out this task... But No; you have everywhere opportunity you need.

You have got friends,contemporaries, roommates, colleagues.. Youths, teens, young adults.. male and female we have them all around!

You should introduce them to Christ, bring them to the newness of life that can only be found in Christ Jesus.

•SHOW that you are indeed a Christian! Exhibit the live of Christ in your everyday living. Make it know to people; show it; Let people see crystal clear that you are a ‘light’

Showing people the way, and follow through the way also.

‘‘.. Let your light so shine that people will see and glorify your Heavenly Father’’

Discouragement Is Not An Option

1Kings 19:1-5

Discouragement is one of the weapons that enemies employ to fight children of God, and we have to be conscious of this so as to be able to fight it.

Most times when things don’t go the way we expect them, we feel that Man or God has disappointed us and we immediately get discouraged. 

Now, it is worse when we think we have been so committed enough to the services of God as to be qualified enough to experience his mercies, favors and blessings.😒😏

And when such benefits fails to come, we feel so down, and disappointed in God that most times one takes offense against God; forgetting that the same God who has been there all the while.. is still there! (Glory to God🙌)

 This is exactly what happened to Elijah in the passage we read. After a huge success of proving to the people of Israel and the prophets of Baal, and even bringing down the first rain since 3 and half years. He has expected the fear of God to come upon Israel and Jezebel so as to bring them to conversion; Bur instead he received a threatening message from Jezebel that his life will be destroyed. 

Elijah has to flee, his hope, his labor, and struggle appeared to be ending in failure. He was very much discouraged and wished to die, saying that He is not better than his father’s not knowing gay God was still with him.

Discouragement can sometimes lead to depression, BUT

•God is not done with you!

•God is just very near and close to you

•He sees your plight and His ready to help you out

•His hands is not shorten not to save you neither are His ears to heavy to hear you

JUST

•Ask for pardon and forgiveness of your shortcomings and sins

•Ask for His intervention 

•Praise Him in believe that He has perfected you (His work)

•Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise.

God Is Love

I cannot tell how He could love

A child so weak and full of sin

His love must be most wonderful 

If He could die my love to win

It is most wonderful to know 

His love for me so free and sure,

But ‘‘tis more wonderful to see

My love for Him so faint and poor

And yet I want to love Thee, Lord;

Oh, light the flame within my heart, 

And I will love Thee more and more,

Until I see Thee as Thou art

Matthew 27:45-56

 

It’s the day of Love. It is the day of proclamation of God's Love to mankind.

It is the moment to show forth the Love of whom does not condemn, He who over looks flaws and faults and gives All.

This very Love is deep, so widen, high. Even, not even any human can offer this. Love, far beyond ‘good’.. It is pure, extra-sweet and sacrificial!🙌

John 3:16. ‘For God so loved the whole world that He gave His only begotten Son, to ransom for our sins. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 

Jesus cane to the world to pay the debt He did not owe; Love persuades Him to go through hardship. He suffered humiliation, pain, He was crowned with thorns, He was spat upon, flogged, and eventually died; a shameful death. 

Yielding His soul to buy us salvation, and victory. He bought us pardon, grace to live beyond slavery. He took off our wretchedness, difficulty, challenges, hatred, poverty, bitterness.

🙌🙌 

He has given us POWER over powers; AUTHORITY over authorities, He has shamed death and grave for us, He has pulled down darkness and the rulers of evil for us.

While we are yet sinners; He died for us all for His great LOVE.

Even in this present age; His Love still lives amongst us. 

Know The Promises Of God

 Standing, standing, 

standing on the promises of God my Savior;
standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

II Corinthians 1:12-22

When God makes a promise, He makes sure that He fulfills it. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, the crucial thing is that it shall surely be fulfilled. 

The Bible declares that God mindful of His words and respects such words even above His own name! 

He (God) has established that instead of His word not coming to fulfillment, then let heaven and earth pass away. This is how much value God’s words and promises holds.

God never fails, He never denies to fulfill His words- Seeing in the Bible from Abraham & Sarah; The Israelites (at different reigns from Moses-Joshua-The Prophets & Prophetess- Kings).

In times of pain, delay, sorrow, disappoint, discouragement, neglect, denial; battle, challenges, tribulation- God’s promises never changes!

When You Can’t Bear It Any More..

Philippians 1:6-10

When life is tiring, when you are struggling with your sin, When family members aren’t a saved, when bills aren’t paid, When school is difficult, When work is exhausting, When your health is failing, When your loved ones hurt, When the future is unsure, When a good friend leaves.. It is easy to be discouraged.

Discouragement is a thief. It steals your vitality, your zeal, your joy, your peace, and your contentment. 

When discouragement is present, it brings along some other friends namely: fatigue, hopelessness, despair, self-pity, depression, bitterness, doubt.

Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust for the future. It is the result of blindness, or being myopic. It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow. It is unawareness of the presence of God, unconcern for the needs of our fellow man, and unbelief in the promises of His word.

We need hope and peace and the knowledge that the Lord knows our troubles and He has great concern and compassion for us and He is not going to leave us unloved and uncared for.

 •Keeping or fixing your eyes on Jesus is the best way to be encouraged. In Him alone you can find encouragement and hope and peace and Joy! 

•You need to find His words, promises..

•Find comfort and peace and encouragement in God alone.

Not Too Late

Psalms 31:5. Luke 23:32, 39-43.

Isaiah 60:1

As the month is winding up, we gotta remind ourselves that going into the ‘second-half’ of the year is not an excuse not to do notable acts.🌚

It is never too late to ‘Begin’, it is not too late to commence. 

It was never too late for the the thief nailed on the cross beside Jesus.

Peter and his crew couldn’t get any catch all through the night, but it was never too late for them, immediately ‘Jesus stepped in’ the timing/duration no longer mattered.

The woman with the issue of blood suffered her predicament for many years, But when she heard about Jesus; She arose, determined to ‘Start’ a new living..

Putting away the verdicts of ‘humans’, Predictions of whoever; ‘You Are Not Too Late’

Be encouraged, Strong-willed and step on into Newness; because It is Not Too Late🤗🤗

 

BEFORE Night Comes

John 9:1-10

There is always time for everything done underneath the earth. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is timing for everything. Even God understands, and works with ‘Time’. Aside from the familiar time space we know and use (GMT +1, 5AM...); we still have another illustration for time: Morning, Afternon, Night.

God knows that Man cannot live forever, and so from time to time.. He calls us to order to explain that we have exceeded time, or maybe have to exercise Patience.

Moses; he was passion driven and zealous but it was not yet time. He had to wait for God’s timing.

Jesus, was born at the perfect timing when the reigns of Kings, Prophets, Judges did not bring the reconciliation (of Man) from sin unto God

Samson, Jeremiah, Samuel even Abraham’s heir came at God’s perfect timing and they were people of destiny.

 God recognizes the need for exploit. He still recognizes that time waits for no one and the wise one will make great use of his lifetime.

The night refers to the time when you resign, retire, sit back and not work.. when your strength is reduced 

Do not allow your night season come without you doing good in your Day season. 

Do good, Do exploit, achieve greatness, that will sustain you at Night.

The Day is the time season you have to do all you need to do to have a bountiful harvest and good rest at Night.

With every aspects of your Life in place, 

‘Before it is Night’

We have to live in confidence that He is in control of our lives. Isaiah 14:24,27.
