Jeremiah 31:13 MSG
.. I'll convert their weeping into laughter, lavishing comfort, invading their grief with joy.👇🏼

*Isaiah 51:2b MSG*
... *but once I blessed him, he multiplied.*

This was the Lord talking about Abraham & Sarah.

*Note* -👇🏼
He said, "but once I blessed him, he multiplied".

*This is very profound.* 👇🏼
God's blessing, provokes multiplication.

We see the same sequence in👇🏼
*Matthew 14:19-20 KJV*
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, *He blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude

20] *And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that* *remained twelve baskets full* .

Just 5 loaves and 2 fishes were presented to Jesus to feed over 5k people. He blessed the bread & fish and the rest they say is history.
👇🏼
His blessing upon the

meagre food provoked multiplication and even had leftovers. Wow😱

His blessing provoked the multiplication. *Let that sink in*

👉🏼God bless your home.
👉🏼God bless your business.
👉🏼God bless your ministry.
👉🏼God bless you in your workplace.
👉🏼God bless the ground you walk on.👇🏼

Anytime God is involved..

Of a truth, everytime d Almighty God steps in, d outcome is predictable. Here I am studying once again, d book of Exo 14....it must have been a time of fear & trepidation for d israelites. they were indeed stuck
b/w d red sea & Pharaoh's merciless army

There was obviously no way of escape. The predictable end of that situation was either death for the Israelites or a journey back into slavery. Unknown to anyone at that time, God was setting the stage up to display His awesomeness & power again. Pharaoh must have felt real good

Having the advantage, but, he could only see as "far" as his eyes could see.
He thought to himself, "I have closed them in...
Exo 14:3 "Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are lost; they're confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
And here was God laughing there in heaven

Seeing how a mere man was acting like the aloha & omega.
The pressure was now in Moses to do something...only God knows what was going thru Moses' mind at that time, & while he was waiting in God, he heard God speaking again in

"don't wait in Me anymore, Move.. the deed is done."
Exodus 14:13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you're never going to see them again.
What reassuring words

#Do you know God reads "letters?"
1.
There are some things we often think are beneath God to bother Him with.

We assume some mundane stuffs are to small to bother Him with. We panic because, we believe, God shouldn't be bother with small, inconsequential stuffs

once received a letter from a king with a history of destroying anything and anyone that caught his fancy.

The king was greatly feared by all. There was no exception. He had conquered all known powerful kingdoms, their kings and their gods.

The letter brought fear and

3.
trepidation upon king Hezekiah and his subjects.
It brought panic.
It was a joy killer. Even the bravest of men trembled.
The letter turned everything upside down.
Everything was now at a standstill.
Hezekiah and his subjects were under siege.
The king did not know what to do

4.
out of the confusion that arose, but, he knew where to go.

Hezekiah did the unthinkable. He took the letter to the altar of prayer and spread it before God.

It seemed ridiculous to do such a thing.
It looked like something a confused man would do.

5.
It looked laughable, but, he did it anyways.

2Kings 19:14-15,20 KJV
And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.

#Are will still blaming the Church?

Got several messages, comments and the likes from people who still have this belief that the Church should cease from praying and "diversify" into providing roads, stable electricity, good health care, etc

Well, for starters, the Church of

Christ cannot be held responsible for the failure of Government to provide basic, very basic amenities. Those ruling NIGERIA, from the federal level to the LG level, were either voted in or imposed on us by other means possible to do these things.

Elected officials the world over, have a minimum standard vis-a-vis citizen's expectations.

Therefore, the church cannot be held responsible for government's ineptitude.

The church cannot and should not be held responsible for poor educational facilities, poor electricity, poor

roads, poor health care, poorly equipped Hospitals and dispensaries.

The church cannot and should not be held responsible for the state of insecurity.

Many are quick to say, "with all our prayers, wat has changed?" Well, will all our prayers, God has shown so much mercy to this

country. It is our prayers and the mercies of God still upholding us inspite of how unpalatable the situation is.

We are quick to say, there are countries the world over doing well, who are not as prayerful as we are, yes, countries like China, Singapore, etc. But, we forget to

Prayer & Intercession, tonight@8pm

Brethren, we all need a connection.

There are no self-made men or women.

Everyone was helped.

It was connection that got Joseph into the palace.

It was connection that got David into the palace

God used "mere servants" in the palace.

He can use anyone.

Daniel 1:3 KJV
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

Ashpenaz was a master servant In the king's palace.

He represents men that are

strategically positioned.

1. Ashpenaz, was a eunuch and a scout too
2 . He had access to the corridors of power.
3. He had the king's ears.
4. His job was to identify talents, groom talents and then, open doors for them.
5. If you found favour in the eyes of Ashpenaz, you were

almost 100% certain, you will find favour before the king.
6. Ashpenaz's are major players.
7. Gifts and callings aren't enough, your need a SAMUEL, an ASHPENAZ.
8. You will meet your Ashpenaz and your Samuel this week
9. . Some have been playing at the rung of the ladder,

because, there was no man to connect them. (1 Samuel 9:17 The moment Samuel laid eyes on Saul...)

God will bring people into your life that will bring you into the palace

God will bring people into your space, that will turn your life around.

God will do it.

The Children of Ephraim got dressed for battle.
They got dressed, probably to appear impressive to unlookers.
They had all they needed to fight & take territories, but, they bailed out at d last minute...at d critical time.

Psalms 78:9 MSG says;
d Ephraimites, armed to d teeth,

ran off when d battle began.
Hmmmmm, what a sad note.

Many 2day, appear dressed up for battles.
Some of us appear dressed up to take territories.
We look as good as warriors.
We speak in tongues, pray d loudest at prayer meetings, attend church d most, yet, lack d real substance

There is a job God has given each of us to do, but, ironically, we focus on the fringe benefits of the kingdom.

There are souls to win, territories to conquer, thrones to dethrone, altars to pull down etc.

Jeremiah 1:10 MSG (spells out our job in clear terms.)👇🏼
See what I've done? I've given you a JOB to do among nations & governments-a red-letter day! Your job is to pull up and tear down, take apart & demolish, & then start over, building and planting." Stand Up & Say Your Piece

What have you done with the job or task God gave you?

It's not just about kingdom benefits.
There is a good fight of faith out there.

We need to get off the milk diet and eat meat like warriors... we cannot do stuffs if we are passive about the things of God..

One thing we are all agreed on, is that insecurity does not favour a mass majority of the populace, save for those benefitting from it.

As part of the majority, we MUST all be concerned about peace in our land. Nothing thrives, flourishes or blossoms in times of crises...

If

only we can all spare at least 5mins to pray for our nation...

To those benefitting from insecurity; God says..

Still on this lateness issue on wedding day.

I recall sometime in 2013 or there about, on my way to Sango-OTa to conduct a wedding slated for 10am, I had left Abeokuta, where I was and still resident at 7am for Sango-Ota which is just about 1hr 30mins drive. At 9.30am,

I was not even near my destination. What I'm I going to do all decked up in an expensive suit, white shirt and a bow tie to match, I asked myself..."I don't arrive late for ministry assignment I said... it's still a guiding rule for me.

Without much ado, I asked my wife to get behind the wheels while I hopped on a bike. To cut the long story short, I got to the church at exactly 9.55am.

I had pastored the intending couple for about 4 years and they very well knew I was a stickler to time, particularly,

"church runs."

During counselling sessions, the intending couple had been reminded over and over again not to come late to the church on their wedding day, but alas, one of them came late. (You guessed right)

I got to the church and met the groom who was at this time on the

talking to his wife angrily.

To cut the long story short, at the strike of 10am, I gave instructions that the service should commence.

We proceeded accordingly and just at the moment I asked, "who brings in the bride?" I saw the bride running in at 10.35am into the church, wow,
