2Kings 6:2,5-7
Let’s go down to the Jordan River, where there are plenty of logs. There we can build a new place for us to meet.”“All right,” he told them, “go ahead.”
[ *5* ]But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!”

he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!”
👇🏼
👉🏼They wanted to expand.
👉🏼They wanted to grow..
👇🏼
They therefore, matched their words with action by borrowing Instruments of expansion.💪🏻
👇🏼
They got to work, but, encountered a major setback. That which they borrowed to enhance their

expansion "FELL"🙆🏽‍♂️
👇🏼
That which you borrowed for expansion may have " *fallen* "😢

👉🏼That which you borrowed, to enhance your business, ministry, marriage may have " *FALLEN* ," but, God will pick it up.

👉🏼God will pick up your business again.
👉🏼God will pick up your marriage

again.
👉🏼God will pick up that ministry again👇🏼
Whatever has fallen, shall be picked up.
👇🏼
You will take God where it fell, and the unfathomable will happen.👇🏼
[ *6* ]“Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into

the water at that spot. Then the ax head floated to the surface.
👇🏼
What happened, defied the law of gravity. The reverse happened.
Iron floated, while the wood sank.😱

👉🏼This year, you will have solutions that defy human comprehension.

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
"set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah." MSG

Truly, He raised us up. Truly, He picked us up.
Truly, He made us sit 2geda in heavenly places with Christ.
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?

When was the last time we brought out out "Monitor Guage?"

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in life;
From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

It was said of you;

It's not possible...
No "Nau," It can't be him/her
He/she lacks the requisite qualifications..
How come? He/she is just an ordinary fellow...who does he/she know?

That's what "SEE FINISH" causes

1 Samuel 10:11 MSG
When those who had previously known Saul

saw him prophesying with the prophets, they were totally surprised. "What's going on here? What's come over the son of Kish? How on earth did Saul get to be a prophet?"

What they never thought you could attain unto,
What good they never imagined Could befall you,
What blessings

they never thought could be yours, God will make it happen for you.

He hasn't changed. He still makes stuffs happen for the "underdogs"

Psalms 77:14 MSG
You're the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do -

Through you, God will show the world that

it's at His discretion to make anyone great.

You will move from "HERE to THERE" in Jesus name.

It's a nice that will shut everyone up.

It's your time for that O.B.B.
it's your time and your turn for that Major ONE BIG BREAK (O.B.B.) in Jesus name.

Join us this Sunday,

It's T.O.N.I.G.H.T. live on Facebook. 8pm

Acts 13:17 MSG
God took a special interest in our ancestors, pulled our people who were beaten down in Egyptian exile to their feet, and led them out of there in grand style.

God has always had SPECIAL INTEREST IN YOU.

He did it

before, He will do it again tonight upon this Altar of Prayer.

You may have been beaten blueblack by the economic weather.

You may have been beaten down by circumstances.

You were only down. You are not out.

The Enemies rejoiced too quickly.

Micah 7:8 MSG
Don't, enemy, crow

over me. I'm down, but I'm not out. I'm sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light.

You are coming out in grand style.

You are rising up in grand style.

The Lord will make it happen.

You are not coming out empty.

WHY SHOOT OUR WOUNDED?
Yes, read that again...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 ad 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

Yes, we are prepping up for tomorrow's session.

Our Bi-monthly PRAYER & INTERCESSION. 1st Edition in July.

Everyone needs that One Big Break. (O.B.B)

David had just one major O.B.B. and the rest they say is History.

1 Samuel 18:30 MSG
Whenever the Philistine warlords came

out to battle, David was there to meet them - and beat them, upstaging Saul's men. David's name was on everyone's lips.

This was David's 1st major Big Break.

Yes, God made it happen.

God created a platform for that purpose.

No one else could fit in.

All others that even

tried to could not.

The strongest and most qualified warrior in kings Saul's army could not fit in.

Even the high and mighty like king Saul too Couldn't not fit in.

Then came along the young lad, david.
It was his time & his turn.

The platform to shine was tailor made for him

He mounted the platform, killed Goliath and boom, he became famous.

Your platform is ready.

Your platform for that O.B.B. is ready.

God Himself will put you on it.

You are getting your O.B.B this weekend.

Join us tomorrow, Sunday, 4th July, at 8pm live in Facebook.

Anywhere

As a business man or woman, You need people who have the ears of the great and mighty in our midst.

People who are strategically positioned to put in a word or two on your behalf

It's time to pray for such people to come into our lives and business.

Daniel 1:3 KJV
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of d children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

An unpopular name in d bible.(ASHPENAZ)

Mentioned just once.

He was a master servant In d king's palace

ASHPENAZ represents men that are strategically positioned.

1. ASHPENAZ was a eunuch and a scout too
2. He had access to the corridors of power.
3. He had the king's ears.
4. His job was to identify talents, groom talents and then, open doors for them.
5. If you found favour in

the eyes of Ashpenaz, you were almost 100% certain, you will find favour before the king.

Ashpenazs' are major players.

Gifts and callings aren't enough, you need an ASHPENAZ.

You need people who have the ears of d great & mighty in our midst.

One man or woman can come into

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)

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.

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME- KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED
📌
You see, With God, keeping our fingers crossed connotes probability.

God doesn't make predictions. He makes promises and He keeps them. We must believe in order to receive.

2.
Habakkuk 2v3 AMP
For the vision is yet for AN APPOINTED TIME and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it, because it will SURELY come; it will not be behindhand on ITS APPOINTED DAY.

3.
I deliberately changed some very key words in the passage to CAPITAL LETTERS to really drive home what God requires.

1. AN APPOINTED TIME.
Yes, there is an APPOINTED TIME. It may look like your "time" has passed in your eyes and in the eyes of everyone around you,

4.
but, the truth is, who set the time, you or God?
Time may have passed, but, your SET TIME has not.

2. IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT.
God's word neither deceives nor disappoint.

Joshua 21:45 MSG
Not one word failed from all d good words God spoke to the house of Israel

5.
Everything came out right.

At your SET TIME, everything will come out right. All the discouraging stuffs you are seeing now are all working for your good. You will see clearly at the end.

#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

Jesus, this is above your "Pay grade"

Luke 8:49b KJV
"...Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master."

I wouldn't blame them for this piece of advice to those who were troubling the Master. Afterall, it was obvious to all, the child was dead

1. They probably didn't really

""KNOW" Jesus.
2. They probably knew or heard He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, healed one or two crippled folks, and the best they probably heard of Jesus was that, when He showed up at Peter's workplace, He did what could be termed as an exceptional miracle. Well,

Elijah did similar stuffs anyways, they said.
3. The knew Jesus to be a gentle and easy going and probably did not show any sign of someone that could raise the dead, someone in the semblance of Elijah who called down fire or Elisha who was a bit temperamental and performed some

very powerful miracles.
4. Jesus? Oh pleaseeeeee. Raising a child is above His "pay grade" He doesn't have the pedigree or looks, they said.

Nkw, imagine Jesus coming in and making them look stupid by saying in V52

Luke 8:52 MSG
Everyone was crying and carrying on over her.

Jesus said, "Don't cry. She didn't die; she's sleeping."

Like seriously?
Jesus, You must really have some nerve coming in here and telling us we dint know the difference between a chil sleeping & a child that is stone cold dead.

Luke 8:53 MSG
They laughed at him. They knew she

*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* )

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

Whispering Enemies, the Bible calls them in Hebs 1v13b TPT

"Take your seat next to me at my right hand until I force your whispering enemies to be a rug under your feet.”

These are some of d most potentially hurtful people.

They whisper everytime you record any accomplishment.

They make a mockery of everything God does for you and try to water it down.

They believe, it shouldn't have been you.
They believe, it should have been them.

They abound in the workplace, Family circle, neighbourhood. Infact, they are everywhere.

They are not bold enough to

congratulate you when others are doing so. They are mortally pained and wounded because, God chose you above them
(Hebrew 1v 9 TPT -
For this reason, God, your God, has anointed you and poured out the oil of bliss on you
more than on any of your friends.”)

They are in the same "zip code" with Envy and jealousy

BUT;

They forgot one thing. God does not need their input when He wants to bless you and neither does He take into consideration their appraisal, approval or disapproval of you.

God says to tell you this morning;

A SHORT EXHORTATION...

Don't kid yourself, satan is well organized...

As ridiculous as it sounds, it's true.

When Jesus asked , what is your name in Mark 5:9 KJV
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

2.
They were saying, we are a Regiment, we match together, we are orderly.

Believe it or not, Satan has a "highly organized and effective army" and this is because, his agents or demons are not disorganized as we erroneously think when they come against you and I.

3.
When Satan matches with his demons they all match with a "spirit" of unity.

They accused Jesus of casting out Satan in Satan's name..Luke 11:17-18 KJV
But He, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house

4.
divided against a house falleth. [18] If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

Jesus was saying that Satan's kingdom is not divided against itself.

5.
I will also like to remind you that from Genesis-Revelations you will never find demons fighting demons, principalities fighting principalities, witches fighting witches, its only when we take a look inside the church that we see so much of royal rumble. Ministers of d Gospel

A very BLESSED morning to you.

"Living on Lori Iro"

Was studying a few verses in the book of 1Sam. Chapter 4, and I am struck by a few occurrences which are still common in today's world, even as we continually live on self denial. The Lori Iro kind of thing. Nothing thrives

when we live in self denial. There is no fresh start without doing the needful.

Let's take a look at;
1 Samuel 4:2 MSG
The Philistines marched out to meet Israel, the fighting spread, and Israel was badly beaten - about 4,000 soldiers left dead on the field.
1 Samuel 4:3 When

the troops returned to camp, Israel's elders said, "Why has God given us such a beating today by the Philistines? Let's go to Shiloh and get the Chest of God's Covenant. It will accompany us and save us from the grip of our enemies."

The catch here for me is this;

The elders

were quick to blame God for the overwhelming defeat and shame at the hands of the "godless" philistines, and as if that was not enough, they tried to "USE" God, like, He, God, was in their pockets, ready to be used at all times and for whatever purpose. It did not matter if God

was "busy, asleep, playing etc-(just used those catch phrases literally. We know God cannot be caught in any of those)

The point here is that, defeat started for them early, even before the battle.

God had expressed His anger against the prophet over israel (Eli) and his 2

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.
