SEEING THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD

SEEING THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 27:13 - "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living." (NASB). To be despaired in our text is to be wearied, to faint, to loss hope or to give up. In Christ Jesus, giving up is never an option. No matter what one may be facing, it is expected of him or her to stand in faith and hope for the best.  The psalmist said, the reason why he didn't go into despair was because he believed that he will see the goodness of the Lord. This showed that he went through some difficult times that could have made him to faint in heart and maybe go into depression. But he refused to be negative rather he saw good in the midst of all the bad things around him. He saw the capability of his Father in heaven that can bring about a change in any situation, wherefore, he channeled his focus on the goodness of the Lord. In the place of struggle he saw favour. In rejection he

POWER OF MEDITATION

POWER OF MEDITATION MEMORY VERSE: - Joshua 1:8 - "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." Meditation for the believer denote to reflecting, thinking deeply or dwelling on God’s Word (Psalm 1:2) , it is setting the mind on things above (Colossians 3:2). Meditation is a very powerful thing given to the believer. And like our text says, it is a secret key to all good success.  We are to set our minds, thoughts, stayed on God's word that is true and in doing so, the Spirit of the Word will give us ideas that will bring about uncommon success. Success comes from the Lord and the way to receiving His success is by meditating on His Word. We are to meditate on God's goodness, on His favor, on His abundance for us.  Moreover, if we want to enjoy sound health, we mu

BECOMING WHAT YOU OUGHT TO BE

BECOMING WHAT YOU OUGHT TO BE!! MEMORY VERSE: - 1 Peter 5:10 - "After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be] (AMP). God has designed you for his eternal glory. Eternal means forever, ageless, without end, ceaseless, and always existing.  However, the last line of our text is my focus and it says says, "Making you what you ought to be". There's a way our heavenly Father has designed for us to be and live as His beloved children. But many are living below His standard for them. Living in the way of the fallen man has become a way of life for many. The enemy has altered and twisted many's life spiritually that instead of living as God ordained, they are living in the shadow of the enemy's scheme. Listen, in Christ, you and I are to live here in this world a l

HEARTFELT PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS 3

HEARTFELT PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS 3 MEMORY VERSE: - James 5:16 - "..... The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Today, we are continuing with Point #2: "PERSISTENT PRAYER". As children of the Most High God, we don't turn back from the battle until the victory is taken.  We were told that there was a situation in heaven and the Angels of God fought and the devil with his own group also fought but the Angels didn't give up, they fought until they chased the devil and his fellow rebellion angels out of heaven. (See Revelation 12:7-9) . We don't turn back because the enemy is heating up the fire of challenges more than before, we fight to the end and we fight to win.  The truth is that we've already won the victory in Christ before the battle started. And because Christ has already gotten the victory for us, we fight from the winner's place (See John 16:33) . In Luke 11:5-13 , Jesus told a story about a friend who goes to ano

TROUBLE FOR TROUBLERS

TROUBLE FOR TROUBLERS MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Thessalonians 1:6 - "[It is a fair decision] since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with distress and affliction those who distress and afflict you" Seeing scriptures like 2 Thessalonians 1:6 gladdens my heart, it encourages me and brings relieve knowing that it is a good thing, a righteous thing, a just thing for our heavenly Father to pay back those who trouble us with trouble. God is faithful in making sure that you have peace from the troublers of your peace and He is faithful in returning back their evil to them. Assuredly, He will Repay them according to their deeds; and do to them as they have done to you and even give them double. The Lord wants you to know that He sees your affliction, He knows your pains, He sees your tears and sorrows which comes from the enemies of your peace and He will certainly reward them accordingly. Child of God, be of good cheer for the Lord your God who is your father and who rules and rei

KEEP YOUR PRAYER FLAME BURNING 3

  KEEP YOUR PRAYER FLAME BURNING 3 MEMORY VERSE: - Leviticus 6:12 - "The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out....." Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6 “Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands” (KJV) . One of the ways we can keep the flame burning is by stirring up our inner man through praying in the spirit or praying in the heavenly language or as it is popularly known, praying in tongues. In 1 Corinthians 14:2 Paul made us to understand that when we are praying in the spirit, we are speaking mysteries in the spirit. "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." Certainly, the devil doesn't understand this our heavenly language, and so, it takes him off balance. Wherefore, knowing the power of praying in the spirit, Paul was determined to pray and sing in the spir

KEEP YOUR PRAYER FLAME BURNING 2 MEMORY VERS E: - Leviticus 6:12 - "The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it m ust not go out....." For anyone to keep the flame burning, they must be consistent in prayer, praying at all times and like Paul wrote it in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray without ceasing" A believer who prays unceasingly cannot be a prey for the enemy because they will be too hot to touch or even come near.  Prayer is a great weapon believers can use against the enemy and also a defensive shield for them. Prayer builds a wall of fire around us that makes it difficult for the enemy to come in and harm us. If you are an easy prey for the enemy's attack, then check your prayer life. And so, our text in Leviticus 6:12 tells us that "The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out....." And because of the importance of prayer, verse 13 further re-emphasis on it. "Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually; it mus
