THE LORD GIVES GOOD THINGS 2

THE LORD GIVES GOOD THINGS 2 MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 85:12 - "Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase." How could and why should a child of God ever think of God of glory, the good God, a loving and caring Father as One who gives what is bad to him or her. It is an error. The reason why such persons are where they are in life, it's as a result of this error. And this error is from the enemy (Satan the devil) of their glory. He knows the power of believing, he knows that what you believe in, is what you will experience in life. Listen, if you would dare to believe that God gives what is good, oh, how awesome your life will be because goodness will surround you. But if you believe that nothing good comes from God, except bad omen, evil, sickness, lack and want, well, it's a pity, that is what will be happening around you. But if you are in a situation and you refuse to see the situation rather you fix your eyes of faith on the goodness of

THE LORD GIVES GOOD THINGS MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 85:12 - "Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase." God is a good God and He is a giver of good things. It's a pity that some believers do not see God as the giver of good things but only see Him as the one who causes bad things to happen to them. They see Him as the one who puts sicknesses and deceases on them, they see Him as the giver of calamities, shame and mockery. Some see Him as the One who gives what is evil and the One who takes pleasure in their failures and poverty. But as I look into God's Word, I still saw it saying that "the Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children" (Psalm 35:27). He rejoices when His children succeeds, excel and prosper in life. He earnestly desires to see His goodness in the life of His children. He wants to see them taking leadership positions in this world so that they may execute judgment in righteousness and set up a standard th

BUILDING UP YOURSELF

BUILDING UP YOURSELF MEMORY VERSE: Jude 1:20 - “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. Every believer needs to assume responsibility for their own spiritual growth. Everyone must put in efforts for personal growth and development. Wherefore, Jude made us to understand the importance of growing our spiritual life, he said we are to build on faith.  To build something is to raise a structure, it is to construct something by putting parts or material together. It is to make something stronger or more intense. So, for us to build up ourselves, we need use some construction materials. Our beloved apostle Jude gave us some secret keys to our building. 1. FAITH He said, to build on your most holy faith. Jude made us to see how precious our faith is to the project of spiritual growth. He said it is 'most holy'. Our faith is a treasure, a virtue, it is something of great value and we must make proper use of it to build up the structu

FINISHING THE GOOD WORK

  FINISHING THE GOOD WORK MEMORY VERSE: Philippians 1:6 - “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Confidence means feeling sure of oneself and abilities. It is having no uncertainty about one's own abilities, having strong belief or full assurance. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable.  However, we are not dealing with self confidence here but our confidence in God's ability to finish the good work he has begun to do in our lives.  Paul the apostle says he was "Confident of one thing" In order word, he was very sure, he was certain, he had strong belief or full assurance, about the performance of God.  There were no uncertainty about God's abilities, correctness, and capability to complete that project He has started doing in their life and bring it to perfection. God hasn't brought you this far to abandon you. He will not let the enemy put a sto

GOD IS WITH US

GOD IS WITH US MEMORY VERSE: Zephaniah 3:17 - “For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs."    Hearing words like this one in our memory verse today gladdens my heart, knowing that God is with us, gives me a new strength, vigour, and enthusiasm to keep pushing and pressing forward in life. In spite of all that the enemy has planned, in all their evil schemes, in the midst of challenges and tribulations, yet we are not shaken because we know that we are not alone for God is with us. Certainly, our heavenly Father has not forsaken nor abandoned us, He is ever with us. And because he is with us, nothing shall by any means hurt us. No purpose of the wicked shall prosper in our lives and family. Wherefore, the scripture says, ".... If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). Surely, none can be against us because the

LIVING OUT THE WORD

LIVING OUT THE WORD MEMORY VERSE: - James 1:22 - “Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only” It is good to know what God has written about you in His Word, but knowing the truth without applying its principles in your life makes it irrelevant to you. We must put that which we know to work, thus we will experience the blessings that goes with the truth. It is one thing to know the truth, and another thing to live in the reality of the truth and make the truth relevant to your life. It is good to know but it is much better to apply what you know into your life: for what is the essence of knowing if not to build and make our lives to line up as ordained by God.  It is the doers that are made perfect. Paul made us to understand this in Romans 2:13. “Not the hearers of the law (Word) are just before God, but the doers of the law (Word) are justified”. The truth you know and put to practice will bring about true freedom in your life, it will bring about living the Victorious life and enj

BE STILL 2

BE STILL 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 46:10 - “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” One thing we must never forget is that God is the sovereign One, He is the controller of the whole universe and He is with us, He is in the center of all that concerns us. Therefore, as we pray in the midst of challenges, we need to hold our peace in faith and His word knowing that our God is a prayer answering God. Even though everything around us may seem to be falling apart, we are to be still and hold on to the word and stay in faith thus we will be pleasing God with our right attitude of faith, "for without faith it is impossible to please GOD" Hebrews 11:6. God is greater than any situation for He is above all, hence, He tells you and I to, 'Be still'  This is because only in this place of stillness that we can meditate, and be in faith that will cause Him to arise and bring about change. Thus, we will experience His
