Tomorrow's Prayer & Intercession will be very "LOUD..." like we say in our popular parlance, "Oma Loud Gaan"

Theme - EASY VICTORY.

1 Kings 22:15b MSG
"An easy victory. God's gift to the king."
God is about to gift you an EASY VICTORY.
God has taken over that battle

#It's appearing 2023 is the most "pressing need" now amongst politicans.

While we demand for better & best from Government, let us not forget 2023 is just "FEW WEEKS AWAY.."

PDP&APC, daily in the news... PLOTTING & PLANNING. Now, I ask, where are the other political parties

that "SUDDENLY" showed up in 2019?

What are their strategies?
Where are the youths in all these?
Where are those clamouring for a better Nigeria or are we going to pour New Wine in Old Wine Skins?

Are these silent political parties going to suddenly emerge again in November of 2022 to get grants from Government and then go back into oblivion?

It's beginning to look like we are walking the same ropes of 2019 elections, making the same errors or believing the unbelievable

about these politicans being foolish...

Time,. ofcourse, will tell who is wise and who is not.

"Siddon look" is no longer fashionable, if we want a REAL CHANGE.

We must start now and indeed start now for real of we are to make any meaningful impact, come 2023.

We must not

allow these current crop of politicans make us look unwise again in 2023.

The #EndSARS protest, was indeed an eye opener that when we stand together as a formidable team, we will reach out goal.

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂

Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
📌

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
📍
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our 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,

#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

A SHORT EXHORTATION

Theme -Never get to this point
1 Kings 11:11b KJV
...I will surely rend d kingdom from thee, & will give it to thy servant

Rending d kingdom from an individual cld mean a ship load of things

It cld mean taking away, a source of wealth, influence, affluence,

strength etc

It is never a thing of joy or something to be celebrated.

English dictionary defines
rend (plural rends) As a violent separation of parts

When God did some kingdom rending from kings in the Bible, it was because, they obviously crossed some red lines.

When Adam & Eve crossed the red line, (Garden of Eden) they experienced a rending.

Many kings too suffered the same fate.
King Saul had his kingdom rend from him. His disobedience not only cost him his kingdom, he "lost" his God.

1 Kings 11:11 KJV
Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

You see, there is nothing more

painful than seeing what made you great being taken over or bestowed upon you considered "lowly"... That is a recipe for high blood pressure.

Rending is COSTLY.
Rending is PAINFUL
Rending is SHAMEFUL.

What God has blessed you with to glorify Him and benefit mankind, must never

A SHORT EXHORTATION

The Holy Spirit Helps in many ways and in every way

This is just a very brief testimony.of how I lost something valuable yesterday and later found it this morning.

Woke up to the news that my wallet was missing... missing ke? How, where? My biggest concerns

were all my ATM cards therein etc.

My son and I began turning the entire house up side down with no comforting result.

Afterall, I only stepped up briefly yesterday to get some fruits and it was a distance of about 200mtrs.

I said to myself, this cannot happen. I have never

lost anything and not recover it, not even when one of my staff defrauded the branch of a bank I was managing some years ago.

I said a short prayer. Holy Spirit, thank you for covering my wallet wherever it's been since yesterday. Thank you for leading me to wherever it is. As I

step out in search of it, let me come back home with it.

I stepped out in faith and viola, as I got to the fruit seller's shop, everyone was gazing at me in a funny and unusual way. Suddenly and in one accord, they all asked me "what are you looking for?

There and then, I knew

my wallet was in safe hand. Infact, the elderly woman said, someone found it on the floor and since the fellow knew I was a regular customer here, dropped it at her shop. Infact, she said, she was about sending her daughter to bring it to my house. Long and short of it, I came

Eze 34:15 MSG
"'Therefore, God, the Master, says: *I myself am stepping in* & making things right.

❤️I love that part, "I myself, am stepping in."

👉🏼When God says, He Himself is stepping in, then, something never before seen is about to happen

👉🏼
He is about to give that situation a complete "KNOCKOUT"

👉🏼IN *Exo 14:13 KJV
And Moses said unto d pple, Fear ye not, stand still, & see d salvation of d Lord, which he will shew to u to day: *for d Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever

When God Himself takes on a situation, that situation will never be seen again.
👇🏼
May God Himself step 🐾 into that *long standing battle, seasonal battle and awaiting battle* and give a permanent solution to their harassment in Jesus name.

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.

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

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,
