#We are Gearing Up for April Edition (Bi-Monthly Prayer & Intercession) April 6th to be precise.

Theme -Upstage.

Brethren, there are stuffs that are inimical to your progress and growth. They won't go away because, you wish they do. Everything is provoked by a M.O.V.E.

🔰 *WORD4TODAY* 🔰

*Ezekiel 16:9 MSG*
I gave you a good bath, washing off all that old blood, and anointed you with aromatic oils.
Ezekiel 16:11 I adorned you with jewelry: I placed bracelets on your wrists, fitted you out with a necklace,

Ezekiel 16:13 You were provided with everything precious and beautiful: with exquisite clothes and elegant food, garnished with honey and oil. You were absolutely stunning. You were a queen!👇🏼

It's your time for a major change. A major shift. A new appearance.

👉🏼God will adorn you with extravagant wealth, garment, honour, blessings and Favour💃🏼

👉🏼You will no longer be looked down on.
👉🏼You will no longer be overlooked.
👇🏼
Kings will come to the brightness of your rising.

👉🏼From now on, all men will seek you to do you good.

🔰 *WORD4TODAY* 🔰

*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.👇🏼

Really don't know how to describe this foolish text from an online loan merchant.?.

They sent me this annoying text just now.?

"Debtor with name xxxxxxxx 08162126479 who used you as a referee to get a loan, has been acting fraudulent with a repayment and is hereby wanted by

the company's taskforce. please do inform him that failure to make payment of the loan will result in arrest, and a litigation will be filed against him."

The fellow USED ME as a REFEREE and I am unaware of being USED..

The debtor, I don't even know, probably a random Facebook

friend. I struck out his name, but deliberately left his number for him to see.

This is what you get when you decide to operate with foolishness as one of your core values.

Why I should be involved in loan recovery is what I find extremely difficult to comprehend.

🔰 *PRAYER4NIGERIA* 🔰 Part 2

You and I know things are not alright in Nigeria.

If we don't take this nation back, "they" won't hand it over.

If we don't do what what needs to be done, the hardship will continue.

Enough of our SIDDON LOOK approach..

Enough of blaming those in their 70s & 80s that refuse to retire.....

we need to rise up and be seen to be ready & well equipped to take over Nigeria.

Sulking and social media commentaries are no criteria for winning elections or being called upon to take elective positions.

When the youths of this country refuse to cease or grab opportunities, then we shouldn't complain when incompetent and thieving people step in or cling on to power

Truth be told, we have allowed these crop of politicians to continually DISTRACT us at critical moments.

We either take it back now, or remain "WHERE" we are

"IN"

Judges 8:20 MSG
Then he spoke to Jether, his firstborn: "Get up and kill them." But he couldn't do it, couldn't draw his sword. He was afraid - he was still just a boy.

We could conclude that afterall, he was just a youth, agreed...

David had his chance against Goliath too, he took it & the rest they say is history.

When God reached out to David desiring to use him to save Israel from Goliath, it was up to David to arise.

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.

If no one else chooses to

I sat my husband down one day and asked him; 'what do you really need from me? How can I keep making you happy and satisfied?' Oga said; 'good food and sex'. From a logical standpoint, you might be easily fooled to think that this is all he needs but the truth is that, this

is actually what he feels he is not getting enough of or these might just be his priorities. I had to sit down and think about it, if I satisfy him with good food and sex, his needs might either change to another area I am not covering or he might just be contented. I have seen

so many gender wars and lots of takes from the female folks but most times, those same people make outrageous demands compared to what they are willing to offer. You want a man to pamper you, buy you gifts, be there for you, never cheat, make you the center of his world, etc, but

you have not even done the barest minimum to ask him what he needs? In this life, everything comes with a price, and ironically, we all get to choose the price we are willing to pay. Are you willing to selflessly fulfill the desires of a man that fulfills yours? Just the way you

want that diamond ring, a trip to Dubai, someone to massage your back and call you sweet names while checking up on you regularly without having eyes for another woman and you imagine it as your ideal relationship, that man is imagining a wife that will give him great sex, listen

🔰WORD4TODAY🔰

Isaiah 58:9 MSG
Then when you pray, God will answer. You'll call out for help & I'll say, 'Here I am.'

When God Shows Up-Day 4

Luke 5:2-9 MSG
Peter and his pals were having a very baaaaad day at work😥
👇🏼
They worked their fingers to d bones, yet, no harvest👎🏼

*It was EFFORTS 100% WORK DONE Zero*
👇🏼
Well, let's go home...we try again tomorrow, & as they were washing their nets, Jesus Himself showed up.
👇🏼
He said to Peter, "cast your nets on to the other side." (I can imagine the looks on his face & those of his fishing pals.)😱

Someone asked, who is this guy trying to teach us what we already know? 😡

Another answered, "He is the carpenter's son"

What, Really? Was the response.😡

Peter answered, one more try wouldn't kill anyone...They they gave it one more shot
👇🏼
They had no clue what was coming.

They dint see it coming.

*Luke 5:9 MSG*
When they pulled in that catch of fish, *awe, overwhelmed* Simon and everyone with him.🙆🏽‍♂️
👇🏼
Whenever God Himself shows up, the outcome is usually *UNBELIEVABLE*

*Job 29:24 MSG*
When I smiled at them, they could hardly believe it;

their faces lit up, their troubles took wing!

*IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVOURS THIS MONTH, GOD HIMSELF WILL SHOW UP*

*Isaiah 65:23 KJV*
They shall not labour in vain...

*You will no longer labour in vain.*

*Isaiah 65:23a MSG*
They won't work and have nothing come of it...

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME -WHEN GOD REWRITES THE TEXT OF YOUR LIFE

1 Peter 2:4b MSG
...The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor.

This may indeed be your story.

Experts took one look at you, and said, you were no good.

They took one look at you and concluded you did not deserve that promotion.

Took one look at you and concluded that ailment was terminal.

Took one look at you and concluded this one is barren, that this other one can never get a suitor.

They took one look at that struggling

business of yours and concluded that there is no way under heaven you will make it..

God is about to prove them all wrong.

They may know a lot about so many things, but, they forgot they are not "assistant god"...that, they do not have the final say.

Proverbs 16:33b MSG SAYS
Make your motions and cast your votes, BUT GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY.

God, and not man has the final say.
He can overrule,
He can overturn,
He can reverse the seemingly irreversible.

Your story is about to be rewritten.

Psalms 18:24 MSG
God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

As you cry to God this morning, get ready.
He is rewriting the entire text of your life and setting you in the place of honor.

Things are about to take a new turn.
Many will be

Results of Secret Sin.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, loved practical jokes.
Once he sent a telegram to each of 12 friends.

All were men of great virtue and respected in society.
The telegram said, "Flee at once, your secret is discovered!"

Within 24 hours, the story goes, all twelve had left  the country!
There may be some playful exaggeration here, but the
point is usually true that many people, including
Christians, are not what they seem to be.

James 1:15 "Then after our desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death."

SIN GROWS.
Sin always takes you further than you wanted to go.
Sin Cost you more than you want to pay,
Sin keep you longer than you want to stay.

In a conservative southern church (name withheld) , the pastor's wife found pornography on her husband's computer. After confronting him with the evidence, he admitted downloading d images off d internet, even using d computer in his study which was located in d church itself. .

In another bible-believing church not far from my home, a Christian businessman sought investment capital from other Christian individuals & businesses. He promised to invest d money in new Christian enterprises & promised a high rate of return on their money.  Alas, however,
