We must never entertain the idea of tiredness, giving-up or surrendering to the dictates of d wicked few in Nig

They will DRY UP like leaves in summer.
This is their lot

Isaiah 1:30-31 NIV

🔰 *WORD4TODAY* 🔰

*Acts 16:25 MSG*
Along about midnight, Paul and Silas were at prayer and singing a robust hymn to God. *The other prisoners couldn't believe their ears* .
👇🏼
Yes, they couldn't believe their ears or would you too?

👉🏼They were in prison & they knew what was to *come...death* , yet they kept on singing & praying.

👉🏼It wasn't that they had any reasonable thing to be thankful for, (at least, from human comprehension.)
👇🏼
A " *normal* " person, would be in fear & trepidation in this situation.

👉🏼They did what any child of God in an unpleasant situation should do.. *.Pray & Praise* & just as everyone else was about to write them all off as insane, the unthinkable happened.👇🏼

Acts 16:26 MSG
Then, without warning, a huge earthquake! The jailhouse tottered, every door

flew open, all the prisoners were loose.
👉🏼As you Pray & Praise;
The unthinkable will happen in your life👇🏼
👉🏼Every door shut against you will suddenly open.
👉🏼Everything u were denied, will suddenly find it's way to your doorstep
👉🏼Greater doors for more exploits shall be opened

Are you FED-UP? 2

Acts 16:16 MSG
One day, on our way to the place of prayer, a slave girl ran into us. She was a psychic &, with her fortunetelling, made a lot of money for the people who owned her.

Acts 16:17She started following Paul around, calling everyone's

attention to us by yelling out, "These men are working for the Most High God. They're laying out the road of salvation for you!"

*Acts 16:18*
*She did this for a number of days until Paul, finally fed up with her, turned and commanded the spirit that possessed her, "Out* !

In the name of Jesus Christ, get out of her!" And it was gone, just like that.

👉🏼Sometimes, undue familiarity or sentiments can be our bane.
👇🏼
We hold on to what we should be rid off.
👇🏼
We associate with people we should disassociate from.

👉🏼Abram had this problem and it is still with us to this day.

👉🏼It wasn't until after Abram cut off from Lot, that God spoke to him.

*Genesis 13:14 KJV*
And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes...

*For starters, "Lot" means a veil or a covering*
👇🏼
Now, how can anyone make progress with a heavy " *covering* " upon him or her?
👇🏼
It takes a level of discernment not to allow sentiments get in the way of our walk with God.

*Psalms 1v1 outs it Aptly.* 👇🏼

#The, God No Go Shame Us Slang"

I have often heard this in so many instances, "God No Go Shame Us..."

First thing first, God shames no one, and has never shamed anyone.

The only fellows or gang God ever public shamed was satan and his goons

Colossians 2v15 NIV
And having

disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.e (Col 2:15|NIV-)

Colossians 2:15 MSG
He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets

Colossians 2:15 AMP
[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

It is not in God to shame anyone, rather, poor decisions, poor actions, poor

choices, sin, disobedience, bad association, man's wickedness towards another etc, are some of the stuffs that brings shame.

Sin, however, is the major culprit for a christian. While poor choices, decisions or actions could bring shame, they may not be categorized under sin.

These may have occurred, due to lack of proper or poor information etc

Now, back to the major culprit, SIN

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

Brethren, SIN GROWS. It starts with lustful

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

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

*Your Day* *Part 5*
👇🏼
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*
...then she pulled herself together, slipped away quietly, and entered the sanctuary.
*1 Samuel 1:10* Crushed in soul, Hannah prayed to God and cried and cried - inconsolably.
*1 Samuel 1:12*
It so happened that as she continued in prayer before God, Eli

was watching her closely.
👇🏼
It was going to be her day. Although, she dint know it then, but, God had set things in motion.

*1 Samuel 1:19b MSG* says;
...and God began making the necessary arrangements in response to what she had asked....

A LONG EXHORTATION

THEME - What if...

Woke up this morning with a puzzling question in my spirit. Dint pay much attention to it, but, as I got out of bed to begin my morning & daily drill of 60mins-90mins of Thanksgiving, that question again interrupted my thoughts 💬.

2.
The question was just packaged in two words....WHAT IF?

Before I could process the thoughts, a barrage of other questions began to roll in, and then, I knew I had to UP my game in my daily Thanksgiving drill.

You see, I do this Thanksgiving "drill" every morning before I

3.
progress to praying in the spirit and then in my understanding and with relevant bible passages. (Thanksgiving is key to my relationship with God, because, I Know this for sure...THE UNGRATEFUL CARRIES A MARK OF RESENTMENT)

NOW;

4.
What if you woke up this morning and you began to "knock" on the gates of heaven, and as you did, an angel appeared and told you, "hey, sorry bro/sis, God is still resting. He had a busy day yesterday, and cannot attend to anyone until 4pm...")

5.
What if you knocked on heaven's gate and was denied access because, the accuser of the brethren just used his reggae to spoil your blues the previous night

What if you needed to pour out libations before seeing God?

It's happening in a few hours time.
(PRAYERS FOR BUSINESSES, BUSINESS OWNERS, ENTREPRENEURS)

You will experience something dramatic from this week.

Psalms 107:24 MSG
Out at sea you saw God in action, saw his breathtaking ways with the ocean:

You have seen the breathtaking ways

God turned around the businesses of others 

You have heard the testimonies of others 

This December, it's your time and your turn.

In your business, you will see God' breathtaking ways.

You will see Him in action in mind-blowing ways, in your business

Surely, you will see God in action again...
Psalms 68:3 MSG
When the righteous see God in action they'll laugh, they'll sing, they'll laugh and sing for joy.

Join us tomorrow, live on Facebook, at 8pm as we pray for BUSINESSES, BUSINESS OWNERS & ENTREPRENEURS

Suddenly, Jesus appeared on the scene.

Luke 7v11-17 MSG
Talks about a widow, whose life was filled with losses & misery. She lived in Nain.

She had no name.
Her misery was used to describe her.

Misery had indeed wrapped itself round her like a fitted garment

She had lost her

2.
hubby, probably a few months or years earlier, now, her only son was gone.

Soon, this widow of Nain was going to bury her only son.

There were people there pretending to be mourning, meanwhile, they were gossiping amongst themselves...

3.
When did she lose her husband that we are once again burying her only son?

Are we sure she is not a witch?

Is she the only one in town.

From one tragedy to another.

God must be punishing her for her sins.

By this time too, the grave diggers were waiting.

4.
They had completed the task of digging the sons grave, & only waiting to be paid their balance

The mourners at the graveyard were waiting too, but, suddenly, the Lord saw her...felt her pain & showered her with compassion.

5.
When the Lord was done, they were completely left aghast, with mouth wide open

Luke 7:16 MSG described it perfectly.

They all realized they were in a place of holy mystery, that God was at work among them. They were quietly worshipful - and then noisily grateful,

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
