Still on this lateness issue on wedding day.

I recall sometime in 2013 or there about, on my way to Sango-OTa to conduct a wedding slated for 10am, I had left Abeokuta, where I was and still resident at 7am for Sango-Ota which is just about 1hr 30mins drive. At 9.30am,

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.

WHY SHOOT OUR WOUNDED? - Ps. 109:21-31

A Detroit newspaper reportd that a patient in a local hospital was shot and killed as he lay in his bed recovering from a previous gunshot wound. The victim had been listed in fair condition prior to the shooting and was looking forward to

going home. Hospital patients and employees were stunned. A spokesperson said that nothing like this had happened in the 50yrs of the hospital's existence.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say the same for our churches?

Wouldn't it be encouraging if we were able to say

that in 50yrs of meeting together for worship, fellowship and spiritual healing, we had not had a single instance of a wounded member being cut down by the unkindness of a fellow Christian?

Many among us have experienced the pain that David expressed in Psalm 109.

When he was hurt and vulnerable, insensitive people took advantage of him. Certainly, if he had sinned, he needed their loving correction. what he didn't need was their scorn, gossip, and selfish neglect. Who shoots his foot after stubbing his toe? No one in his right mind,

neither should anyone with the mind of Christ act unmercifully toward a wounded brother or sister in the body of Christ. Rather, we must "show mercy" (v.16).

Give me, Lord, a lot of mercy
For my fellow men each day,
Mercy in their many failures
As they struggle on their way.

🔰 *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.

Secret Sin -3
The 5 principles on sin.

A. A Holy God cannot tolerate sin.
1) One sin can make all d difference in the world.
a) It made a difference for Israel.      (defeat)  
b) It made a difference for Achan.       (death)
c) It can make a difference for you.     (damnation)

2) God does not "grade on curve," but on absolutes.

B. Sin is never purely private.
1) ISRAEL has sinned, THEY have stolen, THEY have lied.Josh 7:11
a) Yet Achan is only one to be revealed
2) One bad apple ruins the barrel.
a) Reason - toxic gas is given off, encouraging rot

b) Same in churches.
c) Unchecked sin by one person can pull everyone down.

3) Private sin off-limits?  Not to God.                  
There is the story of a Lonely woman who met a widower in a church and had an affair She had no guilt or remorse.

She confided in her Christian friend Tony Campolo, "He makes me feel wonderful about myself & I help to meet some of his needs.Nobody's hurt.Nobody suffers she said" "What about Jesus?" Campolo responded.

James Dobson said-the problem is all of us, Our standards have slipped, we are unshockable.

Secret sin is still sin.
1) What are you hiding from others?

2) What are you hiding from God?

Sin will be found out.

JUDAS -Part 1

Mark 14:10-11
Our text today deals with a man named Judas Iscariot.

He is, without a doubt, d most notorious & most vilified of all d disciples.

His name appears last in every list of d disciples, except in Acts 1, where his name does not appear at all.

2. Every time he is mentioned in the Bible, the Word of God reminds us that he betrayed Jesus .

Judas was a failure as a disciple, and this why...
- He was exposed to the same teaching d others heard.
- He saw d same miracles & was involved in the same ministries.

3. Yet, Judas never came to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Judas spent 3 years with d Jesus & he died lost.
- The others were converted during their time with d Lord; Judas only became spiritually hard, calloused & hateful.

4.
1. The other eleven disciples were used of God in amazing ways.
2. Their lives demonstrate the truth that common, ordinary people can be used of the Lord in extraordinary ways.
3. Judas, on the other hand, stands as a stark warning about the dangers of wasted opportunities,

5. hardness of heart, wicked lusts, and spiritual carelessness.
While Judas could be considered a failure as a disciple, he was the most successful hypocrite of all time.
1. He played his part so well that no one but Jesus Himself knew that Judas was a fraud and a pretender.

*Acts 9:40 MSG*
Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: "Tabitha, get up."
👇🏼
It's an entirely different ballgame when you speak directly to a situation.
👇🏼
There is tremendous power backing up the

Word of God when spoken directly at Anything tangible or intangible .

👉🏼Peter had nothing to offer the man by the beautiful game... He only had the Word and that made all the difference to the crippled beggar..

👉🏼 Ezekiel spoke to very dry bones & the bones were restored &

eventually became an exceeding great army. ( *Just think about it for a second* )

👉🏼With Elijah's word, the impossible happened. The sunk iron axe-head floated from the bottom of the river, while the wooden handle sank.

👉🏼By the spoken Word of Jesus, a gold coin was found in

the mouth of a fish to pay tax

👉🏼By His spoken Word directly to Lazarus, He commanded him to come forth, and, he who had been dead for four days came back to life.
👇🏼
Here's the catch...God has exalted His Word even above His name & He backs it up with His integrity.💪🏻

*Speak directly to;*

👉🏼Your marriage
👉🏼Your health
👉🏼Your FINANCES
👉🏼Your Womb

#Just two questions for you before you go on to the next page....

-When was the last time you made a conscious and consistent effort in checking your spiritual gauge?

-Have you been intentionally monitoring your spiritual life even in and with your busy schedule?

You will

however agree that most of us make very conscious efforts monitoring almost every other thing in life, but our spiritual 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,

we monitor the temperature gauge on the dashboard of our cars, monitor and gauge the air in our tyres.

We monitor virtually everything and take action(s) where necessary to ensure things go on smoothly.

These

action(s) gives us great satisfaction, yet, the most important things are left unmonitored.

Our spiritual gauge may have been reading zero for a longtime unattended to.

Our walk with God may have been crooked, yet little or no attention has been paid to this....

Our desire to

study the Word may have been on the decline for as long as possible because of our seemingly important busy schedules.

Prayer meter keeps dropping daily.

Fellowship with God is now a quickie, done only when convenient and at times during rush hour in the bathroom, toilet or
