FOCUS

Spend Sometime to study the life of Apostle Paul, you'll find that he flourished in his business with God. But one little secret I've discovered from study is that he did not desire to be what God did not make him. He did not leave his duty call to chase after other luxurious ambitions or duties.


"For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect"
-1Corinthians 1:17

He knew exactly what he was called to do and never accepted to be lured into other administrations for whatsoever.

Recall in Acts 9: 6; 16-20
"And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do"
"And Ananias went his way, and entered into his house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God"

God called him to preach the gospel and he never deviated from it, so he flourished. Many persons today have been called to do one thing, yet they feel the other is in trend and they move headlong with it and end up with a  great crash. God help us!

"And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it"
-Colossians 4:17

Let us focus on our call that we may fulfill it.
If you don't know what God has called you to do in this world, now is a good time to ask him in the place of prayer.

Have a nice day,
God bless you!

CONTENTMENT

1 Timothy 6:6-10

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

It is self explanatory, just be CONTENT!

Hope you're enjoying your day?

SMILE

Smile is a virtue,
Its a gift you could give to the confused and depressed world.
Its a sign God is working in your life,
Its an answer to the devil's question of whether God is on your side,
Its a big YES!

Smile seasons our expressions even in depression,
No matter how wrinkled your face is,
There is a twinkle sparked on it by a smile.
The earnest prayer of every man even if  only a few know is for God to put a smile on his face.
Many however who smile without stress might not know its value,
Until its stiffened by harmattan.

Smile is a thing of the heart, its a decision taken at heart before it manifests outwardly.
You smile in your heart before you smile on your face.
So learn to be joyous always,
For only then would you have a smile to give.

The joy if the Lord is all we need,
We get this at salvation.

Get saved, get the joy of the Lord, then you'll get a smile!

Have a nice day!

SHUT THE DEVIL UP!!!

When you speak the gospel and the devil asks you: "Have you finished preaching to yourself first?", trying to instill condemnation and guilt into you. Just look boldly as a son of God into his eyes and say: "I have not finished preaching to myself, I preach to myself everyday, I put my flesh under everyday, I die to sin in Christ everyday, I have not finished. But be it known to you that I will not keep quiet while you lord these ones, I will interfere and bring the gospel to them, I will not relent in disrupting your evil agenda against them. Have you gotten it?".
After saying this, just turn about and go your way into the place where you were to preach the gospel. Don't forget also to tell him you're aware the Bible says:"Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he falls" and that God's grace has been keeping and will continue to keep you from falling.

Preach the gospel without fear!!!

Good morning.

TWO SIDES OF A COIN

 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”

- Ecclesiastes 12:13

The summary of man’s duty is:

1.    Fear God
2.  Keep His Commandment       

We are going to establish in simple terms what this really means. Remember the bible says in John 14:15- If you love me, keep my commandments. So we can accept that keeping God’s commandment is relative to loving him.

So the conclusion of the whole matter is: fear God and Love him. FEAR|LOVE.

These are two sides of a coin. They are inseparable. You cannot fear God and not love him; also you cannot love God and not fear him. They go hands in hands.

Fear in this context refers to reverence and respect. In as much as we say we love God, our love is not complete until we do his commandments and fear him.

Let us not slack in our duty as we continue in our race.

God bless you!

127SAM3>5

I'll start by saying the title of this article is ciphered somehow, so have fun deciphering it!

"Lo Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies at the gate"

Childhood! What a lovely stage of life.
Children! What a beautiful set to have.

Their conscience is as white as snow,
Their love is as strong as diamond,
Their vision is as high as the mountains,
Their hope is as stable as a rock.

Go to the children and learn of faith towards God.
Go to the children and they'll change your heart.

They are respected even by the wicked,
They are cherished by the weak and strong alike,
They are the light and salt of the earth,
They are heavily defended by God.

Anyone who is not like these ones, the scripture says shall not get into the kingdom,
Oh! what a noble stage of life.

Their smiles can change the heart of a King,
Their tears can get God standing from his throne,
Their heart is most terrifying to the devil,
Their enemies are dead men walking!

Wow! How I wish I were a child.... wait a minute, I still am.
I am a child of heaven, of the kingdom, of God!
Childhood is a state of the heart...God wants us to be as sincere and harmless as they could be.

I am a SON, and that of the KING!

Good morning,
Have a blissful day.

SCRIPTURE MOST POPULAR

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" - John 3:16

As far as I can remember, this has been the first verse of the bible every child learns and memorises while growing.
The truth remains that so many spend a lifetime on earth without living in the reality of this verse. It is as simple as stated, but only a heart ready to understand will grasp the breadth, length and depth of this scripture. Jesus died to save mankind from what? From Sin!
The problem with the world today is not corruption, not hatred, not wars. All these are just symptoms. The real problem with the world is Sin, and until sin is dealt with, the earth will keep on groaning and getting unbalanced.
Jesus died to deal with this problem, which has given birth to several  symptoms.
As many as believe in him would be saved and as many as are saved would be free from this problem; sin.
Let us start living in the reality of the most popular verse: John 3:16.

God bless you!
