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,

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.

The Children of Ephraim got dressed for battle.
They got dressed, probably to appear impressive to unlookers.
They had all they needed to fight & take territories, but, they bailed out at d last minute...at d critical time.

Psalms 78:9 MSG says;
d Ephraimites, armed to d teeth,

ran off when d battle began.
Hmmmmm, what a sad note.

Many 2day, appear dressed up for battles.
Some of us appear dressed up to take territories.
We look as good as warriors.
We speak in tongues, pray d loudest at prayer meetings, attend church d most, yet, lack d real substance

There is a job God has given each of us to do, but, ironically, we focus on the fringe benefits of the kingdom.

There are souls to win, territories to conquer, thrones to dethrone, altars to pull down etc.

Jeremiah 1:10 MSG (spells out our job in clear terms.)👇🏼
See what I've done? I've given you a JOB to do among nations & governments-a red-letter day! Your job is to pull up and tear down, take apart & demolish, & then start over, building and planting." Stand Up & Say Your Piece

What have you done with the job or task God gave you?

It's not just about kingdom benefits.
There is a good fight of faith out there.

We need to get off the milk diet and eat meat like warriors... we cannot do stuffs if we are passive about the things of God..

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,

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,

🔰 *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.

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,

STOP MAKING THE DEVIL FAMOUS
1.
"The Devil is a liar" shouted his wife as she tried to turn on the car.

"How is the Devil a liar? What has the Devil done this time?" He asked his wife as he sat on the passenger seat. She was to drive today.

"Well, we've run out fuel and we need

2.
to get to the Church event quickly. I am preaching today and the Devil is trying to frustrate me. Honey. The Devil is a liar" she said then declared some Bible verses.

He laughed and looked to the side.

"What are you laughing at?" She asked him turning to face him.

3.
"Why are you making the Devil famous?" He asked her.

She looked at him surprised. Giving him that shhhpiritual face.

"Honey, the Devil is not to blame for the low fuel, we are. You forgot to go to the petrol station yesterday after the visit from your mom.

4.
You are giving the Devil too much credit. When things go wrong it is not always the Devil's fault. He is not that powerful. Many times it is just a matter of poor human decisions and laziness" he said.

She looked at him intently.

Silence.

He smiled and continued,

5.
"Yes honey, like the day we were financially struggling. That wasn't the Devil plotting against us. It was just us who were making a mess and not making good financial decisions. We were borrowing too much, spending too much and living above our means. Once we got more

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

2 Chro 20:15 MSG
This is God's war, not yours.

When it's God's war, no weapon is needed.

When it's God's war, the outcome is predictable

2 Chronicles 20:17a MSG
You won't have to lift a hand in this battle; just stand firm, Judah and Jerusalem, and watch God's saving work for

you take shape...

When it's God's War,
He does the fighting, & we carry off the plunder

2 Chronicles 20:25 MSG
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to carry off the plunder they found more loot than they could carry off - equipment, clothing, valuables. It took three days to

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;

1.
A very, very short message on "when God shows up"

The 3 Hebrew boys knew something others did not know. Infact, What they knew influenced their stance. It was, "if we perish, we perish..." Crazy I'd say.

They were resolute in their decision not to bow down to man made gods.

2.
They were indeed defiant and unconsciously playing to the gallery of their enemies, who without a doubt, wanted them dead.

Note, Defiance had consequences at this times.

The consequences of their defiance was death, horrible death, the slow kind of painful death, yet,

3.
they defied the most powerful king on earth.

This brazen act of bravado though, extraordinary, was nonetheless, unacceptable. No one defies the kings decree, least of all, Jews.

The king was duly updated by some "Tatafos" & under Persian law, decrees, once pronounced by the

4.
king and sealed with the royal seal, could not be reversed.

They were subsequently arraigned before the king and with what I call the guts of a meniac, they looked the king in the eye, and told him point blank, that on this issue of bowing to your man made god, we are not

5.
going to bow down. This was no longer a joke.

Daniel 3:16 KJV
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

[17] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning
