A SHORT EXHORTATION

THE TRUE HELPER

It's a horrible thing to remain defenseless in this wicked world, and that's why we all need Jesus.

There are places your millions will not be able to defend or help you.

Places where the high and mighty you know are not only helpless,

but, unable to defend you.

There are times the best doctors you know are helpless when you are rushed to the hospital.

Places where your security measures even run into hiding and unable to defend you.

The name of Jesus, that name alone is the ultimate defense. The ultimate

name everything and everyone bows down to.

A ready help and helper in time of need.

Others may want to help, but are unavailable or unable.

Others may initially want to help, but, suddenly change their minds in your time of need.

Others may have the capacity to help, but,

choose not to help or offer you help at a cost you are unable to afford.

Jesus is different. He is the real deal.

Always ready
Always available.
Always willing to help.

Psalms 46:1 MSG
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.

Whispering Enemies, the Bible calls them in Hebs 1v13b TPT

"Take your seat next to me at my right hand until I force your whispering enemies to be a rug under your feet.”

These are some of d most potentially hurtful people.

They whisper everytime you record any accomplishment.

They make a mockery of everything God does for you and try to water it down.

They believe, it shouldn't have been you.
They believe, it should have been them.

They abound in the workplace, Family circle, neighbourhood. Infact, they are everywhere.

They are not bold enough to

congratulate you when others are doing so. They are mortally pained and wounded because, God chose you above them
(Hebrew 1v 9 TPT -
For this reason, God, your God, has anointed you and poured out the oil of bliss on you
more than on any of your friends.”)

They are in the same "zip code" with Envy and jealousy

BUT;

They forgot one thing. God does not need their input when He wants to bless you and neither does He take into consideration their appraisal, approval or disapproval of you.

God says to tell you this morning;
"I will

Truly, the heart of man is desperately wicked
1
Jeremiah 17:9 KJV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Honestly, and without prejudice, the passage above deserves further reading and studying.

Studying the passage below this morning,

2.
I kept wondering what manner of wickedness this was, just because, you wanted to disgrace a people, you now want to gouge out everyone's eyes...haba?

V2 of the passage below is the height of wickedness.

3.
1 Samuel 11:1-2 NLT
About a month later, King Nahash of Ammon led his army against the Israelite town of Jabesh-gilead. But all the citizens of Jabesh asked for peace. “Make a treaty with us, and we will be your servants,” they pleaded.

4.
[2]“All right,” Nahash said, “but only on one condition. I will gouge out the right eye of every one of you as a disgrace to all Israel!” 🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

Jeremiah 17:9 KJV asked a valid question about the heart, it asked..." who can know it?"

Honestly, no one.

5.
Only a renewed heart, yes, a renewed heart in Christ, in all it's ramifications can override the wickedness in a man's heart.

When we do some wicked stuffs to fellow humans, "no be today e start...e don tey"

Little wonder then how our world has turned out.

So true what the Bible says..

Proverbs 28:12b NKJV
...But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.

Everyone seem to be in hiding, Killers and their sponsors seem to be on a killing spree and the nation looks helpless. Not anymore in Jesus name.

This is what God says;

Jeremiah 48v28 MSG
"Leave town! Leave! Look for a home in the cliffs...(whether they are foreign killers or locally sponsored killers, the Lord says, "leave town")

Jeremiah 50:25 KJV
The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: (

The Lord has opened His armoury)

They will bare the wrath of God.

They have sown wind.

Hosea 8:7 KJV
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:

Let all those sponsoring terror, bloodshed, banditry, kidnapping reap the whirlwind of God

Zech 10:6b MSG

#Just two questions for you before you go on to the next page....

-When was the last time you made a conscious and consistent effort in checking your spiritual gauge?

-Have you been intentionally monitoring your spiritual life even in and with your busy schedule?

You will

however agree that most of us make very conscious efforts monitoring almost every other thing in life, but our spiritual lives.

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

We monitor our performances

at work and those of our subordinates.
We monitor our health,

we monitor the temperature gauge on the dashboard of our cars, monitor and gauge the air in our tyres.

We monitor virtually everything and take action(s) where necessary to ensure things go on smoothly.

These

action(s) gives us great satisfaction, yet, the most important things are left unmonitored.

Our spiritual gauge may have been reading zero for a longtime unattended to.

Our walk with God may have been crooked, yet little or no attention has been paid to this....

Our desire to

study the Word may have been on the decline for as long as possible because of our seemingly important busy schedules.

Prayer meter keeps dropping daily.

Fellowship with God is now a quickie, done only when convenient and at times during rush hour in the bathroom, toilet or

Yes, we are prepping up for tomorrow's session.

Our Bi-monthly PRAYER & INTERCESSION. 1st Edition in July.

Everyone needs that One Big Break. (O.B.B)

David had just one major O.B.B. and the rest they say is History.

1 Samuel 18:30 MSG
Whenever the Philistine warlords came

out to battle, David was there to meet them - and beat them, upstaging Saul's men. David's name was on everyone's lips.

This was David's 1st major Big Break.

Yes, God made it happen.

God created a platform for that purpose.

No one else could fit in.

All others that even

tried to could not.

The strongest and most qualified warrior in kings Saul's army could not fit in.

Even the high and mighty like king Saul too Couldn't not fit in.

Then came along the young lad, david.
It was his time & his turn.

The platform to shine was tailor made for him

He mounted the platform, killed Goliath and boom, he became famous.

Your platform is ready.

Your platform for that O.B.B. is ready.

God Himself will put you on it.

You are getting your O.B.B this weekend.

Join us tomorrow, Sunday, 4th July, at 8pm live in Facebook.

There is something SINISTER about this picture...

I have often found this pix very intriguing.

Trust me, I am 150% in agreement, but, somehow, I have some reservations with d 1st statement... "It doesn't matter what she did"

I feel this isn't balanced in the real sense of it.

2.
I have witnessed a woman slap her husband while trying to mediate in a domestic issue, yet, the man kept his cool and honoured those of us there by not matching the slap with a corresponding slap or blow...not all men are this patient...

I have witnessed a woman break the

3.
windscreen of her husbands car because he came home late from work the previous night.

I once mediated in domestic violence where the wife hit her mother inlaw because, she (wife) could not stand the attention her hubby was giving his mum...

I have also seen several extreme

4.
cases too. While some kept their cool, others matched it "fire for fire"

#I believe women too should be patient and encouraged to have self control just like we all expect the same from men.

Take it or leave it, it takes grace & a full dose of selfcontrol to b patient

5.
with a violent spouse

Men and women both need to be reminded of the importance of patience, longsuffering, self-control and most importantly, how to bridle the tongue which is the major culprit in most domestic violence..

How balanced it would have been if that 1st statement

A SHORT EXHORTATION

They wanted to make sure He remained dead, but...

Matthew 27:63 MSG
They said, "Sir, we just remembered that that liar announced while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be raised.'

Matthew 27:64 MSG
We've got to get that tomb sealed until the

third day. There's a good chance his disciples will come and steal the corpse and then go around saying, 'He's risen from the dead.' Then we'll be worse off than before, the final deceit surpassing the first."

Matthew 27:65 MSG
Pilate told them, "You will have a guard. Go ahead and secure it the best you can."

Matthew 27:66 MSG
So they went out and secured the tomb, sealing the stone and posting guards.

Men were assigned to the tomb Jesus was buried. They were not mere men...

they were trained soldiers. They wanted to make sure He remained dead.

His adversaries had so much hatred for him, yet, they feared every word He spoke about resurrecting again on the third day.

Even if He arose, He would not be able to get out of the tomb, they said to

themselves, but, they were soooo wrong. His purpose must be accomplished.

I don't know what or who has been assigned to keep you down.

Keep you down from achieving your purpose.

Jesus broke through. You will break through that hindrance.

They could not keep Jesus from coming

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME- KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED

You see, With God, keeping our fingers crossed connotes probability.

God doesn't make predictions. He makes promises and He keeps them. We must believe in order to receive.

Habakkuk 2v3 AMP
For the vision is yet for AN APPOINTED TIME and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it, because it will SURELY come; it will not be behindhand on ITS APPOINTED DAY.

3.
I deliberately changed some very key words in the passage to CAPITAL LETTERS to really drive home what God requires.

1. AN APPOINTED TIME.
Yes, there is an APPOINTED TIME. It may look like your "time" has passed in your eyes and in the eyes of everyone around you,

Hannah's story began on a happy note. She married the man of her dream.💃🏼 Soon, things began to get awry. Her hubby took a second wife. We are not told why Elkanah, her husband took a second wife, however, It could probably be because

she had delays in conception.
👇🏼
This second wife, Penninah became a nightmare to Hannah. She reminded her daily that she was just a barren & fruitless woman.

*1 Samuel 1:7b MSG*
This went on year after year. Every time she went to the sanctuary of God she could expect to be

taunted. Hannah was reduced to tears and had no appetite.😭
👉🏼
She found solace in going to God's sanctuary, yet nothing happened the way she had thought it would. Depression now gave way to Panic-attack & delirium😥

*Suddenly, she pulled herself together* .

*1 Samuel 1:9 MSG*

*1 Samuel 1:10* Crushed in soul, Hannah prayed to God and cried and cried - inconsolably.

was watching her closely.

When men speak like God

Exodus 15:9 KJV
The enemy said,
"I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

You see, when some people speak this way, they forget one very vital thing

...THEY ARE NOT GOD.

Lam 3v37 NIV
Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? (No one, no matter how "powerful" he or she is)

When you hear such, do not panic...you are the son/daughter of the most High, the apple of His eyes for that matter. The child of

the all powerful God. He is for you, and if He is for you, who then can successful be against you?

In my young life, I have heard stuffs like;

"Over my dead body will you get this or that"
"Over my dead body will this document be signed"
"I will ensure you don't get that

promotion" etc

What did I do? I laughed, went into my closet, dragged the matter to my altar of prayer and consequently reported the issue to my Father

Exo 17v12
But Moses' hands were heavy;& they took a stone,& put it under him,& he sat thereon;& Aaron & Hur stayed up his hands,d one on d one side,& d other on d other side;& his hands were steady until d goin down of d sun

2.
They each located their places of assignments.
*Joshua* was at the valley fighting.
*Moses* on the mountain praying.
*Aaron* and *Hur* lifting Moses' hands. One on the left and the other, on the right.

Judges 7:21 KJV*
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

They were where God wanted and the enemy fled.

There is a right place to be.
There is a right place to cast your net.
There is a right place to invest.

4.
There is a right place to plant and be planted.

Life however, becomes miserable when we invest our speed in the wrong direction. It takes one further away from fulfilment.

Speed therefore, becomes meaningless doing the wrong thing.

5.
Some are persistent in things God has not commissioned.

Many persist in things God has not blessed

Brethren, It is fruitless to invest in what God has left.
In this New Year, pray,
I will locate my right place, my place of assignment.

Secret Sin -3
The 5 principles on sin.

A. A Holy God cannot tolerate sin.
1) One sin can make all d difference in the world.
a) It made a difference for Israel.      (defeat)  
b) It made a difference for Achan.       (death)
c) It can make a difference for you.     (damnation)

2) God does not "grade on curve," but on absolutes.

B. Sin is never purely private.
1) ISRAEL has sinned, THEY have stolen, THEY have lied.Josh 7:11
a) Yet Achan is only one to be revealed
2) One bad apple ruins the barrel.
a) Reason - toxic gas is given off, encouraging rot

b) Same in churches.
c) Unchecked sin by one person can pull everyone down.

3) Private sin off-limits?  Not to God.                  
There is the story of a Lonely woman who met a widower in a church and had an affair She had no guilt or remorse.

She confided in her Christian friend Tony Campolo, "He makes me feel wonderful about myself & I help to meet some of his needs.Nobody's hurt.Nobody suffers she said" "What about Jesus?" Campolo responded.

James Dobson said-the problem is all of us, Our standards have slipped, we are unshockable.

Secret sin is still sin.
1) What are you hiding from others?

2) What are you hiding from God?

Sin will be found out.

JUDAS -Part 1

Mark 14:10-11
Our text today deals with a man named Judas Iscariot.

He is, without a doubt, d most notorious & most vilified of all d disciples.

His name appears last in every list of d disciples, except in Acts 1, where his name does not appear at all.

2. Every time he is mentioned in the Bible, the Word of God reminds us that he betrayed Jesus .

Judas was a failure as a disciple, and this why...
- He was exposed to the same teaching d others heard.
- He saw d same miracles & was involved in the same ministries.

3. Yet, Judas never came to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Judas spent 3 years with d Jesus & he died lost.
- The others were converted during their time with d Lord; Judas only became spiritually hard, calloused & hateful.

4.
1. The other eleven disciples were used of God in amazing ways.
2. Their lives demonstrate the truth that common, ordinary people can be used of the Lord in extraordinary ways.
3. Judas, on the other hand, stands as a stark warning about the dangers of wasted opportunities,

5. hardness of heart, wicked lusts, and spiritual carelessness.
While Judas could be considered a failure as a disciple, he was the most successful hypocrite of all time.
1. He played his part so well that no one but Jesus Himself knew that Judas was a fraud and a pretender.
