AN EYE FOR NOTHING

 Text: Romans 12:9-21 KJV  Key Verse: Romans12:17 KJV; Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men . We declare our day is good in Jesus name. Amen. I magnify the Almighty for His faithfulness which is backed up by His integrity and unfailing ability. I pray His Word transforms our life through the help of the Holy Spirit. Amen. In becoming like Christ daily, we have to abide in Him and trust the Father to prune us to produce the fruit of the Spirit. Today we will study a little bit of longsuffering, temperance, peace, and patience through this topic. An eye for nothing , which is directly implying that we stay void of vengeance and leave it to God no matter how hurt we feel. We cannot overcome evil with evil, but we can overcome darkness with light, so when the people of the world show their dark sides, as children of Light, we manifest this light, and Glorify the Father through our works. Ask God to put in you the fruit of the Spirit so that you

YOUR ACCOUNT PLEASE!

 Text: Romans 14:5-13 KJV  Key Verse: Romans 14:12 KJV; So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God .    Glory and Worship to the eternal, invisible, immortal and only wise God who reigns on high forever. Amen.    As the close of the day draws nearer than we can imagine, how do you live your life now knowing that when you finally stand before your maker you have to and must give account of yourself. All men and women, both small and great, will give account of the life they lived on earth, whether it was pleasing in the sight of the Father or the otherwise. It's still your choice to make now, accept Jesus , so that all your former account of sin can be destroyed and a new page is opened on your behalf. If the Spirit of God bears you witness that you're in Christ and a child of God, remain steadfast , and do more for God. Your account on earth will determine your eternity whether in Heaven or in hell.  Tell God to blot out your iniquities with the precious blood

CALL UPON GOD, BE SAVED

 Text: Romans 10:6-14 KJV  Key Verse: Romans 10:13 KJV; For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved . Salvation is for all, including me and including you ( WHOSOVER ) . We thank God our Father, Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Ghost our Comforter and Teacher. I pray the Word of God will be quick and effective to transformation in our lives in Jesus name. [Amen]. Salvation is through Faith in Jesus, calling upon His name and becoming saved. So near and easy once you're willing to live a life consecrated unto Him, knowing He has paid the price for your salvation. It's okay if we know that we cannot call on somebody we do not believe. We must first believe that He is the eternal begotten son of God, and that He died for us, and was raised from the dead on the third day by the Father. After believing so in our hearts, then we confess it. This is the confession made unto Salvation. Believe today and confess Him, He is waiting to save you. Call upon Jesus

PAID FOR AND GIFTED

 Text: Romans 6:15-23 KJV.  Key Verse: Romans 6:23; For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.     With a joyful heart, we bless the Lord and magnify His son Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit through His innumerable help continues to guide us, we adore Him.      The Bible makes us know that the punishment for sin is death, no other penalty . Eternal death and damnation had reigned on men right from Adam through his sin. But the good news which I bring you is JESUS; that he might destroy the works of the devil which is sin, and so he could have dominion over death to give us Life, He was manifested and went through the death of the cross, was buried, and was resurrected on the third day by the Father. If we were to pay the price for our sins, our souls will be damned in hell, but Jesus has paid the price and now God has made available a very precious gift through Jesus Christ. All we have to do is to believe in Him, come with a repentan

THE HAND OF GOD

Text: I Kings 18:41-46 KJV Key Verse: I Kings 18:46 KJV; And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah ; and He girded up His loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel . If you know our God is 'Olowogbogboro', say Alleluia. Amen. The Holy Spirit is willing to touch you and transform you, allow Him. The Hand of the Lord works either against the wicked or for the righteous . In our text, we saw that Ahab had already began to go to Jezreel, even with a chariot. Meanwhile, the man of God, Elijah, had no chariot for himself. But suddenly, when the Hand of the LORD came upon him, he moved faster on foot than Ahab on a chariot, and it was recorded that he ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. This is the Hand of the Lord for divine speed that even human knowledge cannot phantom. What journey are you just starting when it seems everyone has gone ahead of you?, What have you lost? is it years(time wasted), resources or whatever, our God is capable of restoring them back to yo

MANIFESTING FRUITS OF REPENTANCE

 Text: Matthew 3:7-12 KJV.  Key Verse: Matthew 3:8 KJV; Bring therefore fruits meet for repentance .  Alleluia someone!. Amen. Silently say 'Holy Spirit, please minister to my soul'. In the gospel according to St. John, fifteenth chapter, Jesus talked about us not being able to bear fruit of ourselves, just as the branch cannot bear fruit on its own except it abides in the vine. Fruits meet for repentance is only manifested through Christ and in Christ, when one has taken the steps for salvation; that is, when one has repented of his/her sins. Its a new life experience in such sense that the unpleasing things to God that you did before you do not do them again, but you in place of those things do the right and acceptable in the sight of God. Please carefully take note;  observing the law without repenting and turning to God through Christ Jesus is vain. Also, being saved by grace and through faith in Christ doesn't now give us the liberty to nullify the law, but that throug

WAITING WITH EXPECTATIONS

 Text: Psalm 62:5-8 KJV  Key Verse: Psalm 62:5; My soul, wait thou only upon God ; for my expectation is from Him .    My soul blesses the creator of the Heavens and the earth, my mouth praises Him. I pray that the Holy Spirit illuminates our mind, and that the life through the Word of God ministers to our soul. Amen.    Some truths that should be on our hearts as our daily meditations as we are in earnest expectation from God are these: God exists and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him . After pouring out our hearts to the Father (If He is not your Father, you're missing out, come to Him today.), we should learn to also wait only upon God because our expectations are from Him. Are you afflicted, down-casted, in dire need and have you been praying, truthfully seeking Him; Cheer up Joy awaits you. No man can give you the best, only God can, so once again I say wait diligently upon the Lord.  Pray and tell God that your soul waits upon Him and that you know He is hearing

FOR ALL HAVE SINNED

 Text: Romans 3:21-31 KJV  Key Verse: Romans 3:23 KJV; For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God . Jehovah Tsidkenu be praised in the Highest. Amen. I give the Holy Spirit Chance to illuminate our lives by Himself. Amen. This message isn't one with the purpose of encouraging you to continue in sin or to live in condemnation, but with the sole aim of showing you to who can make you free and totally free; JESUS. With our conception, we were born with the nature of sin, that adamic nature; that is why some forms of sin don't have to be taught before a child tries to do them. The Bible says if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us , but that  if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness .  If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us . The Bible makes us understand Christ the Son of God was manifested to destroy the sinful works of t

CONTINUING IN CHRIST

 Text: Acts 2:38-47 KJV  Key Verse: Acts 2:42 KJV; And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers . Alleluia!. We thank God for the salvation of our souls, Jesus be glorified, Amen. Be calm and let the Holy spirit speak to you, He's willing to help us. Our Salvation doesn't just end at repentance , although this is the first vital step in our walk with Christ. Continuing is Christ is very paramount; this is why we need the Holy Spirit, grace, strength and mercy. How do we continue? , STEADFASTLY , renewing our strength in prayers, not forsaking fellowship first with God and second with the children of God. When we do this, we allow God in our lives, abound more and more, so much that other souls come to Christ. There should be no excuse for not being steadfast. Without God we can do nothing , He's our help and stay. Let's seek Him. Pray and ask God to give you the grace to be steadfast and unmovable

BY WHAT NAME?

 Text: Acts 4:7-12 KJV  Key Verse: Acts 4:12 KJV; Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved .  Although so many of us have lived as Christians with fear even until now, not because we don't know the power in the name of Jesus, but because our Faith in this name isn't strong. Therefore, through the help of the Holy Spirit, and fresh supply from Heaven, things will turn round. Amen. SALVATION  cannot and will never be found in any other name ,  except the name of JESUS .  It is by this name all men must be saved . Hence, to get victory through this name, the first step is salvation through His name. Are you saved?, do you desire victory?. Lastly, situations of life might try to come, and then they don't get a chance because you have been renewed. Then they decide to ask; BY WHAT NAME have you overcome us ? , there are no two answers: The name of JESUS CHRIST. A strong, persuaded faith in His

POWER OF THE TONGUE

 Text: Proverbs 18:20-21 KJV  Key Verse: Proverbs 18:21 KJV; Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof . Glory and Alleluia to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. The Holy Spirit will by His grace minister unto us, trust Him and give yourself to His help. This organ in our mouth called tongue might be considered by most a sense organ for taste, and an important tool for talking. As it is so, also is our Key Verse; Life and death are in the power of this tongue. Guarding our mouth and trusting the Holy Spirit to guide what we say is important. You can minister a possibility or problem to lives; either yours or others. It all depends on what we say. But don't be surprised, Jesus said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks . If your heart is all bad, then the fruits will show forth from your mouth. If your heart becomes cleansed today, then you can trust God for sanctification , and hence your words can be g

GOD'S INFINITE ABILITY

 Text: Ephesians 3:14-21 KJV;  Key Verse: Ephesians 3:20; Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us ,  Our  great God, the only true One and righteous King cannot be compared to anyone. Alleluia to the Most High. Today's study about God's infinite ability will encourage you more to have faith in God's faithfulness. Trust the Holy Spirit to bless you through it. In times before now, situations might have us almost or probably lose courage in God; here is a word for you, this morning you regain that courage in Jesus mighty name. God's infinite ability cannot be limited; in fact our minds cannot encompass the glory of His ability ; but today even if you think all He can do is what you ask for, praise the Lord. His word says HE IS ABLE to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think. I tell you don't lose faith, hold His word tight and pray with strong belief, HE CAN DO ALL THIN

FEAR YOUR MAKER

 Text: Proverbs 9:9-12 KJV  Key Verse: Proverbs 9:10 KJV; The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom : and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding .   YAHWEH is our God; His name be praised forever. It's a beautiful day again and we are here to learn, I pray the Holy Spirit speaks to us, shine light on our dark areas, and transform our life, that we may be acceptable in the sight of the Father. Amen. When it is said to fear the Lord, the Bible really extensively talks about it, because this is how we reverence the Father and this is one of our keys to assured life. To fear the Lord in summary is to depart from evil and do only pleasing things in His sight . In all we do, the fear of God will restrict us from certain lines we should not cross, keep us abided in Him and His words. There are blessings for the righteous that fear God; our key verse made us know this is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord according to scriptures prolongs days, gives room for divine pro

GOD'S THOUGHTS

 Text: Isaiah 55:6-13 KJV  Key Verse: Isaiah 55:8 KJV; For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD . God's faithfulness can never be likened or compared to any other: great is His faithfulness. his name be praised for ever. Amen. I pray that the Holy Spirit of the living God, creates in us a new depth of trust, faith in God and His faithfulness. Looking at the title "God's thoughts" , who knows exactly what His fellow man is thinking, not to talk of God our creator. We do not know what His thoughts are; neither do we think what He thinks, but He made us know in Jeremiah 29:11 KJV; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace , and not of evil, to give you an expected end . This passage are for those that key into Him and are abiding in Him and His words. His thoughts for us are good, and He will bring it to pass; so when we see an unfavorable situation, let's come to Him, approaching

THE NARROW WAY

 Text: Luke 13:22-30 KJV  Key Verse: Luke 13:24 KJV; Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able . The way to the Kingdom of God is very narrow, but broad is the road that leads to destruction. In the earlier verses before our text Jesus put a point blank statement; He said except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish . This is the first way to decide your journey through the narrow gate; repentance. After one have confessed his/her sins and has totally forsaken them, then the next part comes: Jesus said, we should strive(wrestle, do all we can) to enter in at the strait gate . Live and abide by the Word of God , and seek for the Holy Spirit to guide you and Hold you through out your stay on earth. Since the time of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Follow peace with all men, love like Christ, do only what is pleasing to the Father and do all things to glorify

GOD OF ALL POSSIBLITIES

 Text: Matthew 19:16-26 KJV  Key Verse: Matthew 19:26 KJV; But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible . We bless the Lord for His mercies; they are new every morning and they endure for ever. Wherever you're seeing this, shout Alleluia!. Amen. Jesus has made us know that the things which are impossible with men are possible with the Father. There is no impossibility with the Almighty . We should encourage and build up our Faith with these words, knowing fully that the same Christ whom we have given our life to, is able to do all and even more than we ask or think. It is important that our requests and petitions are according to His will so as to get answers from Him . What is that thing that looks so impossible?, we've been looking at it from man's perspective, now lets look at it from the ability of God. Are they still impossible?, NO. Let's press further in our Faith, fully persuaded that YAH is the GO

SEEKING HIM

 Text: Jeremiah 29:11-14 KJV  Key Verse: Jeremiah 29:13 KJV; And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart .  Alleluia!. The days and weeks come and go, but our God still remains the same, He never changes. The jealousy of God is one of the proofs of His Love towards us. But we don't need to provoke him to jealousy, knowing He is a jealous God. Seeking God requires we do so with all our heart, it shows we truly yearn for Him and we want Him. He has made His promise, but on a condition; He said when we seek Him, we will find Him, on the basis that we seek Him with all our heart, dearly. The Word of God says seek and ye shall find . When we draw nearer to God by seeking Him in prayers, purposeful and non-religious study of His Word , assuredly, He'll also draw nearer to us. Seeking Him early is Key , we shouldn't wait till the going gets rough and tough, as early as now is the time to seek Him. He is a merciful God, so whatever situatio

ABIDING IN HIM

 Text: John 15:1-7 KJV  Key Verse: John 15:4 KJV; Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me . Just like we live in a house and we do not let strangers in for any reason, the same way our body which is the temple of the Holy Ghost should be kept clean and made an abode for God and not sin. If we have accepted Him into us, and have forsaken our old ways, then we are made righteous; but abiding in this His righteousness is the Key to abiding in Him . If we say we abide in Him, then we should walk even as He also walked. We cannot bear fruit of righteousness, fruit of Holiness, fruit of the Spirit unless we abide in Him. Without Him we can do nothing . vs7 of our text says; If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it will be done unto you . This is the blessing for abiding, but the conditions are a must. The danger for not abiding is being withered, unfruitful,

PLEASING GOD

  Text: Romans 8:5-10 KJV   Key Verse: Romans 8:8 KJV; So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God .   Pleasing God is our ultimate goal and should be our ultimate goal as sojourners on earth . In all aspect of our life, doing is will is the right thing to do, not leaving any part out. He created us, and He owns us, we should therefore live for Him. Some people might find it difficult to please Him or some people are sinners and think their works are pleasing unto Him; The Bible made us know that those that live in and according to the flesh cannot please God. Salvation and Faith in God, are one of the keys to pleasing Him. With the Spirit of God and His leading, pleasing God is made easier. In everything we do, we should ask ourselves; is it pleasing unto God? All our ways must please Him, glorify Him and be to His glory. Proverbs 16:7 KJV says When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with Him . This is one among many benefits of pleasi

AND WHOSOEVER

Text: Revelation 20:11-15 KJV Key Verse: Revelation 20:15 KJV; And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire .  So on that day, the day of the great white throne judgement, all men shall stand, stand to the judged by God. We have come to remind ourselves that the end of this world is fast approaching, but before this day, the rapture must take place, that is the catching up of saints to meet with Christ in the air. The Bible has opened this up for us, and so there will not be any excuse for not harkening to it. Both the small and great, rich and poor, young and old, ( no one is left out ) shall be judged, every man according to His works .  AND WHOSOEVER was not found written in the precious book of life was cast into the lake of fire, to burn and not die, forever and ever and ever, for eternity. It'll be a dreadful choice not to pick the Kingdom of God. But to pick the kingdom of God is not just by saying it, first you have to accept Jesu

ABOVE EVERY OTHER

 Text: Philippians 2:8-11  Key Verse: Philippians 2:9; Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name . I praise God for this beautiful morning, and I thank Him because we are all going to be blessed. Amen. Today's devotional is going to lift your soul, encourage you, and transform you, by the divine help of the Holy Ghost. Amen. If we were to go round the whole earth and take record of names, we will have recorded just a few in a decade, implying there are billion of names on earth. But I bring to you a name that is above every name, I don't just mean distinct, or unique, I'm saying ABOVE EVERY OTHER ; The name of JESUS . Now mention any other name, and let me boldly tell you they don't carry any weight beside this name. Is it the name of a disease, a personality, a power or charm, just any name, they can't stand this most beautiful name . vs10 of our text says That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things i

IN ALL YOU DO

 Text: I Corinthians 10:31-33 KJV  Key Verse: I Corinthians 10:31 KJV; Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God . I bless God for His grace for us to live by His Word daily. I pray that the Holy Spirit of God brings these words of Christ to our remembrance, and guide every of our steps. Amen. Living is and must not be for ourselves, but for God and to His Glory. Some issues and matters might be so tiny that we just want to have our way, or we might be at crossroads and it looks life-determining, I tell you that God determines our life {and not any situation} if you have totally given it to Him . Let's talk about Beatrice, who has been without job for quite a while and is called for an interview, finally set to resume. A few days at work, she is told to sign papers falsely, oh! yes, she is in the position to do so, but the question pops up: does this untruthfulness glorify God?, obviously NO. Beatrice is forced to drop her resignation le

NOT TO BE DELAYED

 Text: Acts 2:18-26 KJV    Key Verse: Acts 2:19 KJV; Repent ye therefore, and be ye converted , that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord .  Its a beautiful day today by the Grace of God and I thank God and the Holy Spirit always. Alleluia!. If anything on earth should be delayed, I do not think it's our salvation, our repentance, and our conversion. When Jesus said ...... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, He cannot see the Kingdom of God , our salvation was what He was talking about. And this must not be delayed because; the Kingdom of God is nigh and is at hand. To be born again is to forsake the life of sin that one once lived in, die to that life and choose to live a new life by coming to Jesus; confessing the old ways, repenting from them, and becoming converted. This is what will determine where we spend our entire life, our eternity. Our life on this earth is to please God in holiness,

JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD

 Text: John 10:11-18 KJV  Key Verse: John 10:11; I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep .  As every sheep should have a shepherd; we have Jesus, because He is not just a shepherd, but a good shepherd. From our key verse, we see a good shepherd gives His life for the sheep, and therefore, they are safe. The bible also makes us know that The Lord is our Shepherd, hence, we shall not want or lack any good thing. Jesus our good shepherd has died for us His sheep , that we may have life and have it more abundantly. There are many more benefits and covenant for being His sheep, but the question is; are we in the fold? , have we left the covenant of protection and life? . The good shepherd knows His sheep and His sheep knows Him. Jesus further made us know characteristics of His true sheep. He said in John 10:27 KJV: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me . If we don't follow after the shepherd and are stubborn to his voice, then we a

JESUS: THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.

 Text: John 14:1-7 KJV  Key Verse: John 14:6 KJV; Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life : no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  A way is a path you thread on, hoping you will get to your appropriate destination. But The Way; is the only sure and secure way of reaching your destination. Jesus is the final and true revelation of the Father, came in the form of flesh to the earth; and on His stay on earth, He told us how to reach the Father, commune with Him, ask and receive of Him. He made us know that He is the only way to God, no man can come to the Father, except through Jesus Christ . If we don't have Jesus and pass through Him, getting to the Father will forever be in vain. Jesus also revealed that He is the truth; the truth that sets free. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free . If Jesus is that truth, and we know Him and believe on Him, He'll set us free. Free from sin, from all sickness, evil spirits and demonic attack
