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,

I was not even near my destination. What I'm I going to do all decked up in an expensive suit, white shirt and a bow tie to match, I asked myself..."I don't arrive late for ministry assignment I said... it's still a guiding rule for me.

Without much ado, I asked my wife to get behind the wheels while I hopped on a bike. To cut the long story short, I got to the church at exactly 9.55am.

I had pastored the intending couple for about 4 years and they very well knew I was a stickler to time, particularly,

"church runs."

During counselling sessions, the intending couple had been reminded over and over again not to come late to the church on their wedding day, but alas, one of them came late. (You guessed right)

I got to the church and met the groom who was at this time on the

talking to his wife angrily.

To cut the long story short, at the strike of 10am, I gave instructions that the service should commence.

We proceeded accordingly and just at the moment I asked, "who brings in the bride?" I saw the bride running in at 10.35am into the church, wow,

#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.

A SHORT EXHORTATION, this 1st Day of August.

Theme -A FRESH START.

Today can mark the day God gave you a fresh start..

It can mark the day you had a new beginning and have you celebrating this 1st day of August as a memorial for the rest of your life.

For sure, everyone desires a break from 1 thing or d other, a respite from disappointments, setbacks. That break is called a FRESH START.

We all desire a fresh lease of life from all that has been unpleasant.

1 Sam 7:12b MSG
saying,"This marks d place where God helped us."

This day too can mark d day God Indeed MARVELOUSLY HELPED you

1st STEP

1. Psalms 18:20 God made my life complete WHEN I PLACED ALL d PIECES b4 HIM.WHEN I GOT MY ACT TOGETHER,He gave me a fresh start

A. Place all d pieces b4 Him
B. Get your acts 2geda & quit sulking & whinning

2.
Psalms 32:1 MSG
Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be - you get a fresh start, your slate's wiped clean.

A. After a fresh start, your slate is automatically wiped clean. Nothing to bring you bad memories again. If it's God, then, it is indeed a fresh start, no scars.

3.
Psalms 51:10 MSG
God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis wk from d chaos of my life.

A. Bc, u have a fresh start,it's a GENESIS WK from d past chaos of your life

Hosea 14:5a MSG
I will make a fresh start with Israel. He'll burst into bloom like a crocus in d spring

From my Church mind

A SHORT EXHORTATION

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. D 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

I gave you a good bath, washing off all that old blood, and anointed you with aromatic oils.

Ezekiel 16:13 You were provided with everything precious and beautiful: with exquisite clothes and elegant food, garnished with honey and oil. You were absolutely stunning. You were a queen!👇🏼

This scripture is not only deep, but, also very profound.

Ephesians 2:6 KJV
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 2:6 MSG
Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.

1. "He hath Raised us up..." KJV
"HE picked us up. MSG

2. "...and made us sit together" KJV
"...and set us down" MSG

3. "sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" KJV

Truly, He set us down in highest heaven with Jesus

These quests. thus arise.

Are we still seated?
Or
Have we walked away because, our ways are at cross-purposes with His

If we are truly seated, we will always carry His fire everywhere we go.
1. Worship wouldn't be a burden.
2. Praise wouldn't be a burden.
3. Gratitude wouldn't be a burden.
4. A lot of stuffs wouldn't throw us under the bus and make us look helpless.

Now, when was the last time we had a daily, weekly or monthly review of where we are?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

*Luke 1:46 MSG*
And Mary said, I'm bursting with *God-news* ;
👇🏼
*Note* , she wasn't bursting with *Good news,* but with *God news.* 💃🏼
👇🏼
Sometimes, when God blesses one, it is difficult to describe the blessing or the feeling.🤔

👉🏼No name or nomenclature would adequately describe the blessing or feeling.🤔
👇🏼
Mary was in that state. She did not know how to describe the blessing God just bestowed on her, hence, she called it *God News* instead of *Good News* .

*This week* 👇🏼
The kind of blessings you will receive from God, will be too difficult to describe...like Mary, you will label it *God News* in Jesus name💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

*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

So true what the Bible says..

Proverbs 28:12b NKJV
...But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.

Everyone seem to be in hiding, Killers and their sponsors seem to be on a killing spree and the nation looks helpless. Not anymore in Jesus name.

This is what God says;

Jeremiah 48v28 MSG
"Leave town! Leave! Look for a home in the cliffs...(whether they are foreign killers or locally sponsored killers, the Lord says, "leave town")

Jeremiah 50:25 KJV
The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: (

The Lord has opened His armoury)

They will bare the wrath of God.

They have sown wind.

Hosea 8:7 KJV
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:

Let all those sponsoring terror, bloodshed, banditry, kidnapping reap the whirlwind of God

Zech 10:6b MSG

Because I am their very own God, I'll do what needs to be done for them.

God will do whatever needs to be done in this country.

We have a lot to pray about. For our nation and for ourselves, this Sunday night at 8pm. (Live on Facebook and Instagram)
