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

#Shouldn't you rather thank God first, than start with Prayer Points?

God frowns at ingratitude.

Make no mistakes, no one makes progress with ingratitude

The passage below is proof that God frowns at it👇🏼

2.
Luke 17:16 MSG
He kneeled at Jesus' feet, so grateful. He couldn't thank him enough - and he was a Samaritan.
Luke 17:17 Jesus said, "Were not 10 healed? Where are d 9?

V17 is the PUNCHLINE.
Yes, to many, d New Year is just like any other day & to others, it's a special time.

3.
Be that as it may, it would be a great deed to start with Thanksgiving and then follow-up with directions for the year.

*Let me tell you what I do daily.

When I wake up each morning, I am deliberate about Thanksgiving. I thank God for at least One Hour without interrupting

4.
the session with Prayer Points. After the One Hour Thanksgiving Session, I can then switch to prayer points etc.

God has never stopped being good, we've just stopped being grateful.

Thanksgiving never cease because, blessings never cease

You must realize that Ingratitude

5.
stinks and It is easily noticed & conspicuous. It makes the one who is behind your smile to withdraw.

It's been God through the years and Apostle Paul wrote in
Acts 26v22a GNB
But to this very day I have been helped by God.

#It's difficult to describe this book in one sentence. Reading through it feels like a devotional more than a book on prayer. And then it feels like a motivational text also. Emerge will get you to pray even as you read the book.
This is one book that

a reader is sure to read more than once. It's very rich in scriptural illustrations and practical in its application

🔰 *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.👇🏼

What is right about going to your boyfriend's house to cook his meals.

When I hear guys invite women to their houses to help them cook, I get irked. Without gainsaying, I get pissed because I feel like it's a play down on my maturity as an adult that I can't cook d food I eat

2.
While I was a bachelor & staying alone, I never had any girl come to my apartment to cook for me, and even when some offered to give their culinary services, I rejected it.

Though, that's personal.

3.
But my aim of writing this RANT is to remind a lot of men reading this post that, it is not your girlfriend's job to cook for you!

A lady said to me sometime ago, that her boyfriend slapped her because she was a bit behind schedule to come cook for him.

4.
Imagine the guts!

To slap a lady because she wasn't at your place on time to cook for you?

I keep wondering how women put up with all these rubbish in relationships. Honestly, if I were a woman, many men will avoid me. I will take nothing less than a sensible man.

5.
I've always said that any man who cannot cook as a bachelor is probably or likely to fit into this category. Any man who cannot do home chores is not ready for marriage.

Many men marry because of their inability to cook, wash and do home chores.

Have you prayed at least 5mins for NIGERIA today?
It's the least we can all do.

Psalms 83:17 MSG
Bring them to the end of their rope, and leave them there dangling, helpless.

Wickedness will no longer reign in NIGERIA.

And to all perpetuating and sponsoring bloodshed, stealing

from our common wealth, Father, bring them to the end of their ropes.

Break the pride of their power Lord.

Leviticus 26:19-21 KJV
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

#Let their entire strength be continually

spent in vain.

[20] And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. .

#With your help, leaders will rule well.

Prov 8:15 MSG
With my help, leaders rule, & lawmakers legislate fairly;

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

You are more than what "men" can see or would ever see..

This is a SHORT EXHORTATION

Let me start with this Mantra from Guinness Nigeria Ltd.

They have this brand of stout, and at the end of the advert, I usually hear these words..."You are made for more..."

2.
Yes, we are all indeed made for more, but, sadly, many never attain unto what God has called them to be, either through spiritual laziness, ignorance, nonchalance etc.

Many have allowed their background keep their "backs" perpetually on the ground. In the beginning,

3.
it was not meant to be so.

You see, You are more than what "men" can see or would ever see. You are even more than what you see. There is always more.

While Pastoring at the RCCG many years ago, I heard these words by the General Overseer, Pst. E.A. Adeboye, over a zillion

4.
times.. "I have not even scratched the surface..".

Each time he reached what we all considered to be a major milestone, he would be quick to tell us, "I have not even started".

I recall the inconceivable idea of gathering over
6m people at lekki '98 Holy Ghost service.

5.
It was crazy at the beginning and many were full of unbelief at the time, but, the rest, they say is history. CNN even confirmed we were over 6m that gathered at lekki.
Fast forward to when the RCCG built the largest camp ground auditorium in the world, measuring 3km by 3km,

*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....
*1 Samuel 1:20a MSG*
