TOPIC: SECRETS OF DIVINE PRESERVATION (Part 4)

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:17 KJV

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
Another secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is;

(3)- THE MAINTENANCE OF DIVINE PRESENCE.

The manifest Presence of God with a person carries preservation power. David being aware
of this truth said in Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me".

In Isaiah 43:2 God said "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and
through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou
shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee".

When God's Presence is with you, you can pass through the "fires" and the "waters" of life,
and not be hurt. This was practicalized in the lives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
Because of the presence of the fourth man in the fire, the fire could not hurt them.

Anything therefore you can always do to create and maintain the atmosphere of God's
Presence in and around your life will guarantee your preservation, safety and security.

And those things you can do to create and maintain the atmosphere of God's Presence
includes a lifestyle of Praise/Worship, Prayer, Uprightness, Love, Joy etc. SHALOM.

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:17 KJV

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
Another secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is;

(4)- THE MAINTENANCE OF A LIVELY AND BUOYANT FAITH

Faith is so critical to the life of a Believer that the Scripture repeated it severally that the Just
shall live by his faith.(Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11 & Hebrews 10:38).

If the Just shall live by faith, then it implies that the Just can also easily die prematurely when
faith is not in place.

As a child of God, your faith in God is critical for your survival, wellbeing and longevity in this
world, just as the water is critical for the survival, wellbeing and longevity of the fish.

One of things that Faith does is that it forms an invisible shield of defence, protection or
preservation around the Child of God.

Ephesians 6:16 says "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked".

And so, when a Believer's faith is not in place or is not strong enough, he/she becomes more
vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. The stronger a person's faith is, the safer his/her life
becomes.

The revelations of the Word of God is the major fuel and food for the growth of faith.
Romans 10:17 says "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God".

Preservation Scriptures like the anchor Scripture above (Isaiah 54:17) helps to charge up
your faith for Divine Preservation, which in turn forms an invisible shield of Preservation
around your life. Please continually charge up your faith with such kind of Scriptures so that
you can always be shielded from and fortified against the attacks of the enemy and the
negative forces of life. SHALOM.

TOPIC: SECRET OF DIVINE PRESERVATION (Part 6)

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:17 KJV

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
Another secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is;

(5)- THE AVOIDANCE OF FEAR

Fear is one of the greatest weapon of destruction, calamity and death that the devil or the
enemy uses against people.

This is because fear has the capacity to attract/magnetize whatever is being feared. In Job
3:25, Job said "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was
afraid of is come unto me".
The fear of death, sickness, calamity, accident etc can attract/magnetize those negativities to
the life of a person.

This is why you need to consistently guard your heart against fear. Avoid anyone or anything
that has the capacity to impart you with fear.

And consistently feed on the Word of God so that it can increase your faith and kill your
fears. Both faith and fear are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive; the increase in
one will lead to the decrease of the other. SHALOM.

TOPIC: SECRET OF DIVINE PRESERVATION (Part 7)

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:17 KJV

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
Another secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is;

(6)- THE APPLICATION OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

In Exodus chapter 12, God through Moses instructed the Israelites to apply the blood of a
lamb on the doorpost of their houses; and by so doing, the Angel of death and destruction
passed over their lives and houses, when he passed through Egypt to slay the firstborn of
the Egyptians.

The blood of those lambs that were slain symbolized the Blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of
God which was to be shed many years after then for the salvation of mankind.

If the blood of an ordinary animal could have such kind of preservation and exemption
power, how much more the Precious Blood of Jesus, the Sinless Lamb and Son of God.

And so you will do well to consistently plead and apply the Blood of Jesus on your life, family
and all yours, for Divine Preservation and Exemption.

Please consistently cover yourself and all yours with the Blood of Jesus, so that the demons,
weapons and agents of death and destruction can always pass over you and all yours.

And please note that it is not just what you do that produces results, but the revelation and
faith with which you do them. It is not just pleading the Blood of Jesus over your life
carelessly or religiously that makes it to produce results, but doing it with faith,
understanding, revelation and expectation.

And the Blood of Jesus for Preservation works the most when you are living an Upright life
and when there is no guilt of sin in your heart as you apply it on your life and all yours. So
please, always ensure that there is no guilt of sin in your heart while you invoke the Blood of
Jesus on your life for Divine Preservation and Exemption. SHALOM.

TOPIC: SECRET OF DIVINE PRESERVATION (Part 8)

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:17 KJV

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
Another secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is;

(7)- POSITIVE CONFESSIONS AND THE DECLARATION OF GOD'S WORD(MOST ESPECIALLY

CONCERNING YOUR PRESERVATION AND LONGEVITY).

The tongue is so powerful that the Word of God said in Proverbs 18:21 that Death and life
are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

This implies that you can use your tongue to preserve and elongate your life, and you can
also use the same tongue to cut short your life; the choice is absolutely yours.

And God is committed to honouring the choices you make with your mouth. In Numbers
14:28 God said "Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine
ears, so will I do to you".

Please totally avoid careless and negative confessions, either playfully or seriously; because
they have the capacity to attract negative things to your life.

Proverbs 18:21 TLB says "Those who love to talk will suffer the consequences. Men have died
for saying the wrong thing!". So we can see that saying the wrong or negative things can cut
short the life of a person.

Avoid negative statements like "over my dead body will so and so thing happen", "this
sickness or thing is killing me", "it is better to die than to be alive", "I don't think I can survive
this" etc.

Rather, you should always boldly declare what the Word of God says concerning your health,
preservation, longevity etc, irrespective of how you feel or the current negative situations
around you.

Always declare Scriptures like "No weapon that is fashioned against me shall prosper (Isaiah
54:17", "I shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the
living(Psalms 118:17), "The Lord shall satisfy me with long life and show me His salvation
(Psalms 91:16) etc.

Such kind of positive and Word-based confessions/declarations are very critical for your
preservation and longevity. As you consistently declare them with faith, they will eventually
become your reality.

In Jeremiah 1:12 NIV, God told Jeremiah that He was watching to see that His Word was
fulfilled. And in Numbers 14:28 NIV, God told the Israelites that He would do to them the
very thing He heard them say.

Job  22:28 says "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the
light shall shine upon thy ways". Please consistently declare what the Word of God says
concerning your preservation and longevity so that they can be established in your life.
SHALOM.

against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
Another secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is:

(8)- BEING UNDER A STRONG PROPHETIC COVERING

Hosea  12:13 says "And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet
was he preserved". From this Scripture above, we can see that the prophetic ministry is very
critical for the deliverance and preservation of God's people.

A woman once testified in Church of how a certain diabolic woman was married into her
family by one of her brothers. And this woman succeeded in killing eight of her other
siblings.

She also made an attempt on her own life, but luckily for her, she had then joined a Church
with a strong prophetic covering; and that became her saving grace. She would have died
like others if not for the mercy of God and for the prophetic covering that she came under.

Many people would have been in the graves today if not for the prophetic covering over
them. I have heard testimonies of people who already died and while on the way to eternity,
they were intercepted by the prophetic mantles they were under, and were asked to go back
to their bodies.

Please ensure that you have a strong prophetic figure and covering over your life. And the
prophetic figures referred to in this context includes Pastors, Evangelists and those called
into the five-fold ministry.

Whenever you are being confronted by situations or powers beyond your current capacity or
level of spiritual growth to handle, it is the prophetic covering/mantle over your life that can
bail you out. Woe unto a person who lacks such a covering.
And please note that it is very possible to be under a church/ministry or a prophetic figure
with a strong prophetic covering, and yet not benefit from it.

It takes commitment and dedication to the church/ministry you belong to, for you to fully
enjoy it's prophetic covering and other benefits. It also takes honour, respect and value for
the prophetic figure over your life for his or her Grace/Anointing/Mantle to work or speak for
you. SHALOM.

against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD"

MESSAGE:
The last secret to Divine Preservation that we will consider in these series is;

(9)- SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY

A man of God was once invited to minister in a Program, with flight already booked and
every other necessary physical arrangements already made for him.

But while he drove cross-country and kept on praying in the Spirit, he consistently lost his
peace concerning going for the program. After a while, he called those who invited him and
told them that he was sorry as he won't be able to come anymore.

The people were like "But we have made every necessary arrangements for you, and the
people are already anticipating your arrival". But he insisted that he won't come. Several
hours later, he got a shocking news that the flight he was meant to board crashed and
everyone onboard died.

If he wasn't sensitive enough or if he wasn't wise enough to obey the promptings of the
Spirit, he could have died like others and many people would have concluded that it was the
will of God.

There are times that God shows up to deliver people from danger like in the case of Daniel in
the Lions' den, and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the furnace of fire; but there are
other times He guides people away from danger like in the case of Prophet Elijah who was
instructed to go and hide himself from Ahab and Jezebel for a season (1 Kings 17:3), and like
in the case of Joseph who was instructed in a dream to run to Egypt with the baby Jesus,
when Herod wanted to kill Him.(Matthew 2:13-15).

And so, it is very necessary to always be sensitive to the promptings and guidance of the
Holy Spirit. It will save you from lots of unnecessary and avoidable harm or danger.
Please never go ahead to do anything or to go anywhere you don't have PEACE in your heart
about. The loss of PEACE is usually a WAIT signal, a NO signal, a RED light, or a DANGER
signal; while the presence of PEACE is usually a YES signal, a GO-AHEAD signal or a GREEN
light.

And please note that the promptings or the leading of the Spirit should be prioritized above
your human senses, wisdom or calculations. The fact that everything appears good, normal
or calm humanly speaking is not always a guarantee that all is well or will be well.

Proverbs 16:25 says "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are
the ways of death". Learn to always check how you feel deep inside and whether there is
peace deep down your heart, and not just judge/conclude by physical or external factors or
conditions alone.

Learn to always pray abundantly and extensively in the Spirit as it helps to increase spiritual
sensitivity and perception. And please beware of false peace or temporary excitement which
usually appears like true peace; but the difference is that it usually fizzles or evaporates
away after a while, most especially as you persist in prayers, while the true peace stands the
test of time, and remains, despite  discouraging or contradicting external circumstances.
SHALOM.

TOPIC: YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS AND YOUR RESULTS

TEXT: PROVERBS 23:7a KJV

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..."

MESSAGE:
There is a connection between a person's mind/thought and his or her results or outcomes
in life.

A person's mind/thought can consciously or unconsciously affect his or her actions. I for
instance have had several experiences when I wanted to type something on the phone, and
then suddenly realized that I was subconsciously typing the current thought on mind at that
point in time and not what I actually needed to type. The thought on my mind at that point
in time unconsciously influenced my action.

It could also happen consciously or intentionally. The things that most people do and the
actions that they take are usually the products of their thoughts, mindsets, convictions etc.
For instance, Matthew 9:20-21 says concerning the woman with the issue of blood;

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came
behind Him, and touched the hem of His garment: 

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.

It was the woman's thoughts, mentality and hearts conviction that moved her to take that
action of faith of touching the garment of the Master Jesus, and as she did so, she was
instantly healed of her twelve years affliction.
Her mindset influenced her actions, and her actions determined her results. And so, we can
see that a person's mind can affect his or her actions, and then those actions can determine
his or her results or outcomes in life.

So please, beware of the kind of thoughts you allow to linger in your heart, and the kind of
people or things you watch/listen to or allow to influence/determine your mindset,
conviction or mentality.

This is because they will consciously or unconsciously influence your actions, and your
actions over time will determine your results or outcomes in life. SHALOM.

TOPIC: THERE IS NO BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO GOD

TEXT: JOHN 6:66-68 KJV 

66 From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him im.  

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 

68 Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of
eternal life.

MESSAGE:
Many times, Believers get offended and bitter with God and make statements like "I won't
pray again", "I won't go to Church again", "I won't live a holy life again", "I won't serve or
follow God again etc; in an attempt to get back at God or to express their
displeasure/dissatisfaction with Him; or with the intention of putting God under pressure to
answer their prayers, do their biddings or stick to their terms.

But such kind of negative attitudes towards God are childish, foolish and unnecessary; and
usually does more harm than good.

The fact is that you need God more than you actually think that He needs you. God can very
much do without you, but you cannot do without Him. God without you will still be God, but
you without Him is nothing.

God is the only one that has a true and lasting solution to those needs and problems of
yours that is making you to get bitter with Him or want to stop following, serving or living for
Him; if you leave Him, what will then become your fate? Who then will solve those problems
for you?

There is no other better alternative to God anywhere in the world. If you ever think that
serving, following or living for the devil is a better alternative to God, then you are to be
most pitied among men. I bet you won't want to spend even one second in the Lake of Fire
where the devil and all those who follow him and live for him are destined to end.

Please stop wasting your time giving God negative attitudes. Such kind of attitudes do not
move Him nor put Him under pressure to show up for you. It is your Faith, Praise, Prayer
and Service to God that can easily move Him to show up for you more quickly.
And stop considering any other alternative other than God, as there is no other better
alternative to Him anywhere. Any alternative you choose other than God will always do you
more harm than good. SHALOM.

TOPIC: NO EXCUSES

TEXT: JOHN 5:7 KJV 

"The impotent man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me
into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me"

MESSAGE:
One of the reason why many people remain stagnated and frustrated in life is because they
always try to find or give excuses for their mistakes, irresponsibility etc.

And the fact is that as long as you wish to find an excuse for your failures, you will always
find plenty of them; but unfortunately, those excuses don't usually change anything.

If for instance,you want to find an excuse why you should go to hell, you will find so many of
them; seductions, distractions and temptations everywhere etc. But unfortunately, when you
stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, those excuses won't count at all.

For every excuse you try to give, there are lots of others who found themselves in similar or
even worst situation/condition you find yourself and still succeeded.

Excuses are great enemies of lives and destinies. Please stop finding them because you will
definitely find a lot of them, and yet the excuses won't make a difference.

Please learn to take responsibility for your failures and limitations, and trust God to help you
overcome them. But trying to find or give excuses for them will only do you more harm than
good. SHALOM.

SUNDAY 13TH NOVEMBER, 2022

TOPIC: DON'T PLAY AROUND WITH SIN

TEXT: PROVERBS  6:28 KJV 

"Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?"

MESSAGE:
One of the reasons people take God's Grace and Mercy for granted by deliberately or wilfully
living in sin is because they believe that God will always forgive them whenever they repent
or ask Him for forgiveness.

But what such people fail to understand is that even though God will always forgive you
whenever you ask Him for forgiveness; His mercy or forgiveness does not always totally nor
immediately exempt you from some of the consequences of your sinful actions.
King David for instance committed adultery with Uriah's wife Bathsheba, and in an attempt
to cover up his sins, he got Uriah killed.

And when Prophet Nathan reprimanded him of his sins and enumerated the punishments
he would face as a result of what he did; King David immediately repented and asked God
for mercy.

And then Prophet Nathan told him that God had forgiven him and that he would not die as a
result of his sins, but that the child born from that immoral affair would die. But amazingly,
the child did not only die, but David still faced those other consequences that were
enumerated for him.

If a lady for instance commits abortion and her womb gets damaged in the process, the fact
that she has repented or that God has forgiven her does not necessarily mean that the
damaged womb will be immediately restored/healed. She might remain barren or childless
for years and go through lots of emotional traumas until God further shows her mercy and
restores her womb.

If a young man smokes cigarettes for a long time and his lungs gets damaged for instance;
the fact that he has repented or asked God for forgiveness does not guarantee that the
damaged lungs will immediately be healed. He may still die prematurely as a result of those
damaged lungs, and yet end in Heaven, because God has forgiven him. Except God further
shows him mercy and restores his lungs, which does not always happen automatically or
immediately.

Galatians 6:7-8 says;

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Don't think that you can sow seeds of wickedness in the lives of others and then reap only
harvests of goodness simply because you repented or asked for forgiveness. Apostle Paul
who was initially named Saul, persecuted the Church severely, and when he got converted
and became an Apostle/Evangelist, God said "I will show him the things he would suffer for
my name sake"(Acts 9:16). The same way he stoned others, he was stoned. The same way he
locked up others in prison, he was also imprisoned. And eventually he was beheaded for the
sake of the Gospel.

Please, in your own best interest, stop taking God's Mercy and Grace for granted by playing
around with sin. As implied by our anchor Scripture above, playing with sin is like playing
with hot coals or fire, which will always do you more harm than good.

There are so many consequences of your sins that you cannot immediately escape
irrespective of your repentance or God's forgiveness. To be on a safe side, continually trust
God for the Grace to completely avoid anything called SIN. SHALOM.

TOPIC: THE LAKE OF FIRE

TEXT: REVELATION 21:8 KJV

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the LAKE which burneth
with FIRE and brimstone: which is the second death"

MESSAGE:
The worst thing that can happen to anyone born in this world is to pass through this life, and
then spend eternity in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. It would have been a
billion times better if the person was never born nor created in the first place.

If only people understood the kind of pain and suffering that awaits people that will end
there, they won't even wish their worst enemy to end there.

In Luke 16:24, the rich man in hell was pleading that Lazarus should be sent to dip the tip of
his finger in water and drop it on his tongue, just for him to have a temporary relief; yet that
request was not granted.

It is a place of unimaginable, unquantifiable and unending pain, agony and sorrow. Nothing
in this passing world is worth going there for.

The Master Jesus asked in Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?". And in Mark  9:47-48, He said;

47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of
God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 

48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Please be careful with the way you live your life. It is how you live on earth right now that will
determine where you will end in eternity.

Please trust God for the Grace to deal with every sinful habit, lifestyle or weakness in your
life immediately. This is because every sinful habit you don't deal with today, can land you in
the Lake of Fire tomorrow.

And please never let the guilt of sin to linger in your heart. Always ensure that you repent
and reconcile with God as soon as you sin. This is very necessary so that death or rapture
does not take you unawares. SHALOM.

TOPIC: WHY GOD DOESN'T ALWAYS GIVE US PERFECT CONDITIONS

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 32:14-15 NLT

 
[14] He fed them yogurt from the herd
and milk from the flock,
together with the fat of lambs.
He gave them choice rams from Bashan, and goats,
together with the choicest wheat.
You drank the finest wine,
made from the juice of grapes.

[15] “But Israel soon became fat and unruly;

the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!
Then they abandoned the God who had made them;
they made light of the Rock of their salvation.

MESSAGE:
It is in God's Power and Ability to give us all-round comfort, perfect conditions and every
good things we desire in life. Ephesians 3:20 says that God is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think.

But most times, in His wisdom and love, He chooses not to do or give us some of those
things, either temporary or permanently because of the human tendency to become proud
and independent of God under certain conditions of maximum comfort.

Most people in the Western world today don't believe that God exist or see no need to pray,
go to Church etc because of the maximum level of comfort and ease of life they have
attained to, to a great extent, through technology and so on.

But what they fail to understand is that it was God who gave them the wisdom and the
power to do and to get everything they have been able to do or get. I believe that one of the
reasons why God permitted the Corona Virus pandemic and still permit certain natural
disasters an incurable diseases is to humble them and to let them know how helpless and
limited they can be under certain conditions.

God never wants us to get to a point in our lives when we no longer see/have the need to
seek Him, pray to Him and depend on Him.

And that's why He limits us, makes most things to be beyond our control or allow certain
negative situations to remain at times, despite all our prayers and efforts.

This is so that we can continually seek Him and depend on Him; thereby avoiding the
tragedies/consequences of abandoning Him or living independent of Him.

But we can also come to points in our lives where God can be sure that no matter what He
gives to us or does for us per time, we will still remain committed, devoted and dedicated to
Him. At such a point, God can literary give us anything we need or ask for. Can God trust you
that much?. SHALOM.

THURSDAY 17TH NOVEMBER, 2022

TOPIC: TRUST GOD EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM

TEXT: JOB 13:15 KJV

"Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him: but I will maintain mine own ways before Him"

MESSAGE:
God made it clear in Scriptures that His thoughts/ways are different from and are higher
than our thoughts/ways.(Isaiah 55:8-9). And in 1 Samuel 16:7, God spoke to Samuel
concerning Eliab saying;
"Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him:
for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the
LORD looketh on the heart".

This implies that there are certain things that God does or allows that we can't immediately
understand because of the limitations of our human senses and knowledge. In John 13:7
NLT, the Master Jesus said to Simon Peter;

“You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” That "someday" can
either be in this present life or in eternity.

Whenever we find ourselves in such a situation where we don't seem to understand God or
what He is doing, and when certain things are yet to work out as we expect, despite all our
efforts and prayers; the best thing to do at that point in time is to TRUST God.

The reason why we need to trust God is because God always knows what is right and best
for us per time much more than we think we know for ourselves. And He has the Power and
the Ability to change or turn things around whenever He wishes.

A man of God rightly wrote "Whenever you see the least and feel the least, that's often when
God is doing the most. Just keep on praying and believe that God is working". 

God is a faithful and a loving Father, and He always knows and does what is best for us per
time. Please learn to always trust His HEART even when you can't see His HAND. When you
have done the BEST you know and ought to do or to be doing per time, please learn to leave
the REST to Him, as you patiently wait and trust Him for intervention. SHALOM.

FRIDAY 18TH NOVEMBER, 2022

TOPIC: APPRECIATION- KEY TO MULTIPLICATION

TEXT: JEREMIAH 30:19 KJV

"And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I
will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be
small"

MESSAGE:
One of the reasons why many people remain small, stagnated and limited in life is because
they have not cultivated the habit of consistent appreciation and thanksgiving to God.

It was God's servant Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche who rightly said that APPRECIATION to God is
an APPLICATION for more. He also said that whenever you thank God for His FINGER, He
manifests His HAND.

In John chapter 6, when the Master Jesus had only five loaves of bread and two fishes, with
which to feed five thousand plus people, He appreciated God for the little available, and they
multiplied, until all the people were fed, and they still had remnants.

In any area of life where you need increase, addition or multiplication, do well to consistently
praise, thank and appreciate God for the little you already have or that He has already
giving. As you do so, you move Him to do much more.

But when you begin to murmur and complain for the little you have or for the current level
you are at, you remain stagnated, and worst of all, the little you already have will begin to
diminish. SHALOM.

TOPIC: THERE ARE USUALLY DEMONIC SPIRITS BEHIND CHRONIC NEGATIVE CONDITIONS

TEXT: LUKE  13:11 KJV 

"And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was
bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself"

MESSAGE:
It's not every negative thing or situation that is demonic or caused by demons; but most
chronic, complicated, inexplicable, persistent and humanly impossible negative situations
are usually caused by them.

One of the signs that spirits are behind certain human conditions or situations is the unusual
amplification and magnification of those conditions or situations to an extreme or
uncontrollable level.

For instance, when a person starts indulging in a sinful habit, a demon may not be involved
or may not have been the one that made the person to indulge in it, but if the person
becomes consistent in indulging in that sinful habit, a demonic spirit will get attracted to
that person and will get involved in that act; and when this becomes the case, it becomes
much more difficult or even humanly impossible for that person to stop indulging in that
sinful habit by just human will, energy or determination alone, except by the Power of God.

It is a normal thing for a person to get afraid or discouraged once in a while under certain
conditions for instance, but if the fear and the discouragement becomes too frequent,
extreme, overwhelming, life-threatening or uncontrollable; then it is very possible that a
demonic spirit is involved or is responsible for such a condition.

So please, whenever you are dealing with chronic, extreme, inexplicable, overwhelming and
humanly impossible situations, know that in all probability, a demonic spirit is involved.

And when you have been able to discern or diagnosed that a demonic spirit is involved, you
don't just confront the situation casually, physically, scientifically or mechanically, but
spiritually or prayerfully.

This is because trying to handle a demonic situation just physically or scientifically may
amount to a total waste of time, energy and effort. Until the demonic spirits behind those
negative situations are well handled spiritually, those situations may not change. SHALOM.

TOPIC: MOST RESISTANCES ONLY BOW TO PERSISTENCE

TEXT: LUKE 11:8-9 AMP

[8]I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet
because of his shameless persistence and insistence he will get up and give him as much as
he needs.

[9]So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on
seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to
you.

MESSAGE:
One of the reasons why many people do not get their desired results in God, in prayers or in
life is because they give up too easily.

For instance, after praying or making declarations for a while without seeing results, most
people conclude that the prayer or declaration is not working or that God is not answering
the prayer; and then, they stop praying. But this ought not to be so.

In Luke chapter 18, the Master Jesus taught us that men ought always to pray and not faint
or give up. In our anchor Scripture above, He said that we should learn to ask/pray and keep
on asking/praying until we receive.

Isaiah 62:6-7 says "I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold
their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,  And give
Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth".

Most times, it is only consistency and persistence in prayers that brings about desired
results, facilitates quicker manifestations and wearies out enemy oppositions and
resistances.

James 4:7 says "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you". One reason why that devil, affliction, negative situation etc is still there is because you
have not resisted them well and long enough.

If you do not stop resisting them through prayers, they will eventually flee or leave you
alone. But when you give up and stop resisting them, they can remain. SHALOM.

TOPIC: TOO LATE

TEXT: HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"

MESSAGE:
One day I came across the obituary picture of a young boy who was murdered; and I was
like "I hope and pray that this young boy made it to Heaven". And the impression I got in my
spirit was "Too late".

That is to say that he didn't make it, and that my hope and prayer was a waste of time, as it
was now too late to make amends or to reverse his fate. What a tragedy.
A time usually comes in the life of a person when he/she dies and crosses over into eternity,
and it becomes too late to repent or to make amends.

Now that you are still alive is the best time to repent of every sinful habit or lifestyle, and
reconcile with God. Now that you are still alive is the best time to accept Jesus as your
personal Lord and Saviour, if you have not yet done so.

Tomorrow or even the next minute might become "too late". This is because death can come
at a time one least expect.

Please repent now for your own good. And never allow the guilt of sin to linger in your heart.
Always be quick to repent and reconcile with God as soon as you sin, so as to avoid the
tragedy of "Too late" to repent. There is no repentance, second chance nor mercy in the
grave.

And be prayerful as you continually trust God for the Grace to live a holy life and in victory
over sin and the flesh. God's Grace is sufficient for us. SHALOM.

TOPIC: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO? (Part 1)

TEXT: JOHN 6:5-6 KJV

5 When Jesus then lifted up His eyes, and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith
unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?  

6 And this He said to prove him: for

He Himself knew what He would do.

MESSAGE:
One of the worst things that can happen to anyone is to find him/herself in a critical
condition or situation that need urgent Divine or human intervention or remedy, and do not
know what to do.

And most situations of life needs urgent and immediate intervention, and may not give you
the time or the opportunity to go and know what to do, and then return to handle it. By
then, it might have become too late to be remedied.This is why you need to always be handy
with the required knowledge of what to do per time.

And knowing what to do is not just to generally say that "I know that I will/should pray".
Prayer is good and necessary, and is part of the first things to always do as it is key to
provoking Divine Intervention; but if after praying and there is no immediate intervention,
do you know other things you can do as well?

At times, Prayer alone will not give you the kind of urgent Divine Intervention that you need.
For instance, our anchor Scripture above said that Jesus knew what to do, but that which we
were told He knew to do was not to pray, but to rather thank God for the little loaves and
few fishes available, which led to their multiplication.

From this instance above, we can see that one of the things to do when you need increase or
multiplication is not just to pray for Increase/multiplication, but to thank and praise God for
the little you have already. Appreciation is a major key/secret to Multiplication. 

Now you know one of the things you should/can do when you need Increase or
Multiplication. However, there are still so many other things you ought to know to do that
you probably do not yet know. So press for more knowledge. SHALOM.

TOPIC: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO? (Part 2)

TEXT: JOHN 6:5-6 KJV

5 When Jesus then lifted up His eyes, and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith
unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?  

6 And this He said to prove him: for He Himself knew what He would do.

MESSAGE:
One of the surest and most comprehensive source of information or knowledge on what to
do per time in the face of life's challenges is the written Word of God or the Bible.

The Bible contains stories of what people did at certain times in their lives to get the kind of
results they got; and knowing what they did and doing same can guarantee a similar kind of
results in our own lives.

For instance, in Acts chapter 16,  Paul and Silas were locked up in the prison; and in verses
25-26, they started to pray and sing praise to God, and God showed up in the prison to
deliver them. And so we can see that midnight praise and prayers are vital tools for
immediate or drastic Divine Deliverance or Intervention. Doing what Paul and Silas did, with
revelation, faith and understanding can also give you the kind of results they got.

The Bible also contains secrets, keys, principles or conditions of certain things to do in order
to see certain kind of results. Knowing those things and engaging/practicing them with
revelation can give you the promised rewards/results.

And remember that we already noted that most situations of life will not give you the time or
the opportunity to go and search for those knowledge or information, and then return to
engage them.

And so it is always advisable to have those knowledge handy in case of emergencies. But if
the situation gives you the opportunity to go and get the knowledge and then return to
engage it, good and fine.

So please, consistently study/listen to the Written Word of God and other Biblical materials
such as Preached Sermons or CDs from Servants of God, Spiritual books etc, so that you can
consistently arm yourself with the relevant knowledge/informations on what to do in the
face of life's confrontations. SHALOM.

TOPIC: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO? (Part 3 Final)

TEXT: JOHN 6:5-6 KJV

5 When Jesus then lifted up His eyes, and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith
unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?  

6 And this He said to prove Him: for He Himself knew what He would do.

MESSAGE:
The greatest, surest and most efficient source of knowledge or information on what to do
per time when faced with life situations is the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit being Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, always knows the RIGHT
and the BEST thing a Believer ought to do per time in every given situation.

The Holy Spirit was the greatest secret of the Master Jesus' success in life and ministry while
He was on earth as a man.

I sincerely believe that it was the Holy Spirit that whispered to Him or that led Him to give
thanks to the Father for the little loaves and few fishes in John chapter 6, which led to their
multiplication.

There are so many other things the Master Jesus could have done at that point in time like
Prayer and the rest, but the Holy Spirit knew the RIGHT KEY that will produce that desired
result at that point in time.

In the healing ministry of Jesus while on earth as a man, He used diverse methods of
healing. At times, He would just touch the eyes of a blind person and the person would
begin to see. At other times, He would spit on the ground and use the spittle to make clay,
and then use the clay to anoint the person's eyes and then ask the person to go and wash
his face in a particular pool, and the person would begin to see.

Mind you, the Master Jesus never read those methods in a book or in the Old Testament,
neither did He learn it from anyone else. But because He was very sensitive to the Holy
Spirit, He always knew the RIGHT method to use per time, and they always did produce
desired results.

Whenever the Pharisees set traps for the Master Jesus through questions that both YES and
NO would put Him in trouble, like when they asked Him if they should pay tax to Caesar or
not; and like when they asked Him if they should stone the woman that was caught in
adultery as dictated by Moses, or not; He always gave them responses that completely took
them by surprise and frustrated their plans/traps, by the leading, inspiration and wisdom of
the Holy Spirit.

You really can't afford to depend on your human wisdom/knowledge alone in all of life's
situations. You can't depend on just what you read in the Bible or in other books or what you
learnt in school alone to handle some of life's challenges.
You need to always be sensitive to the leadings, inspirations or instructions of the Holy Spirit
as well. What He leads you to do at times may not make sense nor sound logical, like God
asking the Israelites to match round Jericho and to shout for the walls to collapse; but if you
follow it, you will be glad you did eventually, as it will produce supernatural and
extraordinary results. SHALOM.

TOPIC: THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME WAY THEY APPEAR TO BE INITIALLY

TEXT: MARK 9:25-27 NLT

[25]When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, He rebuked the evil spirit.
“Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak,” He said. “I command you to
come out of this child and never enter him again!”

[26]Then the spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him.
The boy APPEARED to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said, “He’s dead.”

[27]But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

MESSAGE:
One of the reasons why we should never be too quick to conclude on
issues/situations/people judging by our human wisdom, knowledge or senses alone is
because things or people are not usually the same way they appear to be initially.

Proverbs 14:12 says "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death". This implies that most things are not usually the same way they
appear to be physically or initially.

And so we need to learn to avoid hasty conclusions. And we need to learn to rely much more
on the Holy Spirit for Divine guidance and direction rather than on our limited human
senses, wisdom or knowledge alone.

We also need to learn to allow TIME to prove the real/true state of people or things, as TIME
is usually the best REVEALER of people, things or situations.

So please, always avoid hasty conclusions, and allow the true state of people or things to be
revealed with/by TIME, before you make your conclusions. And always learn to rely more on
the leading or guidance of the Holy Spirit in your choices and decisions in life. SHALOM.

WEDNESDAY 30TH NOVEMBER, 2022

TOPIC: STOP COMPLAINING OR WORRYING; AND START PRAISING AND PRAYING

TEXT: ACTS 16:25-26 KJV

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners
heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were
shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

MESSAGE:
One of the reasons why many people's negative situation do not change is because of their
wrong approaches or responses to those negative situations.

In 1 Samuel chapter 30, after David's wife and children with those of his men were taken
captives by the Amalekites; they cried until they no longer had the strength to cry, yet the
negative situation did not change. It was only after David sought the face of God and went
ahead to pursue after them that he was able to recover all that the Amalekites took from
them.

And so, we can see that our approaches and responses to life's situations determines the
kind of results we will see.

In our anchor Scripture above, when Paul and Silas were locked up in the prison, they didn't
cry, worry nor complain; rather, they started to pray and to sing praises unto God, and there
was a drastic and an instant Divine Intervention.

The approach or response of Paul and Silas in our anchor Scripture above is one of the best
approaches or responses to life's situations.

You can praise your way out of any negative situation in life, no matter how serious, bad,
difficult or impossible it seems.

In 2 Chronicles chapter 20, when King Jehoshaphat was being confronted by three other
enemy kings, he engaged the principle of Praise and Worship to God, and God stepped in,
and caused the enemy kings to finish one another, without Jehoshaphat having to fight
against them.

Please, learn to stop wasting your time, effort and energy crying, complaining or worrying in
the face of life's challenges or negative situations. Rather, learn to always pray and praise
your way out of those situations. Even if Prayer fails, Praise will not fail. SHALOM.
