How to get to a King's heart!

Most times, we make the mistake of thanking God and then making a request.
    After giving praise to a king, when He is elated, He can do anything for you; that is, an automatic blank cheque.

However, I have come to realise that making a request, when given the opportunity, we tend to make limiting requests.
For example, You have been believing God for a spouse, Now, He grants you a blank cheque after praising him by asking "What do you want?", Your answer would just be "Lord, I want a spouse", Finish! Or, if it is a child you are looking for; Your answer would just be "Lord, I need a child, either a boy or a girl" and that's all!

Few months along the line, your spouse surfaces, or there is a record of missed period and a baby is on the way. You are so grateful... God has answered your prayer but Look!, you made a limiting request, you just asked for one thing; When next would you get the opportunity to come before the king?

Another mistake, people make while making a request to a king is asking for material things.
For example: Hectares of lands, A House full of children, Properties and Estates, Job Offers & Promotions, simply amassing a huge amount of wealth.

You might say "but we need all these", Yes, and A king knows that, so you shouldn't ask for that, besides, they all have expiry dates. Instead, you should make a request that would create a greater positive impact on the people around you; In fact, when making a request to a king, Make a request that practically adds nothing to you except the joy emanating from the people you have blessed through your request.

Queen Esther, made a request (Sacrificial at that) to save a whole nation,
King Solomon asked for that which would put the people in peace and security,
Jesus made the greatest request "Send me, not my will but yours, let your will be done ".

    My Final advice to you:
1. When before a king, don't make a request, instead, give him Praise, Thanks and Worship.

2. After giving him thanks, when asked to make a request, tell the king to give you whatever comes from his mind, this is because when a king gives whatever comes from his mind, it would be extremely & exceedingly greater than what you could have asked for and you won't seem greedy and infact, people would be envious of you.
#Tip: Kings love to show off in everything, including giving!

3. If He insists that you should make a request even after he has given you whatever comes from his mind, Make a request that would immensely impact positively on the people, that would just make him fall in love with you.
    When you gain favour in the eyes of a king, you can't imagine what will happen to you and your generations.

So, the next time you give God that quality praise and He blesses you ' yanfu yanfu, yanfu yanfu', remember me in your paradise!

Our God!

Our God is magnificent.
Praise to man is perfume, and anyone who eats perfume will die
However, Praise to God is his food
So,you can never, we can never be God, never, because his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts, as far as the heaven is from the earth, that is the how far we would have to cover to understand His ways and thoughts.

Lessons from Family devotion!!!

1. Any work that would not allow one to rest is a bad work.

2. When we go out of the purpose of our lives, that is, do something else apart from what God assigned us, even if what we do seems right, we are out, we are out; nobody sent John the Baptist to talk to Herod about his infidelity, he was sent to proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, s'est fini.

3. Never make hasty decisions or oaths, Herod did and regretted it.

4. Herodias had an unforgiving spirit, that's bad.

5. Watch what you say, some troubles are really avoidable.
You don't have to talk all the time.

Christ Jesus

According to Luke 1:31, it was the angel that gave the name of Jesus to his mother, from this I learn that all my children (that is, the ones I ll give birth to) already have their names written down in heaven; so, all I an to do is ask God for their names even before their conception.
This tells me God is in charge of my babies even before I got married and this also teaches me that once I hand them over to God even before conception, God takes full control if their lives regardless of what is happening.

From Luke 1:13, Zechariah, the priest had prayed for so long for a child even till his old age but a funny thing happens in verse 20 of Luke 1, when God finally answers his prayers, he can't believe it and I learnt two(2) things:
1. Whether you believe or not, what God has set to do in your life at a certain time, He would do it.
2. Most times, we wait on God regarding an issue, then, when God rises and answers, we don't believe.
For example, you have been asking God for a car, because its too stressful taking a bus, or your mates are riding and you are still using your 'legedi benz', or your family is drumming its necessity in your ears every blessed day.
   Now, this fateful day, you are on your way to work, this really nice car splashes dirty water on you from yesterday remains of the downpour. 'Whaaat, you are about to go haywire when someone steps out of the car, walking towards your direction, in your mind, you are fuming, 'Imagine, because I don't have a car', a very long hiss is heard.
By the time, the person gets close to you, you are about to rain curses, when you discover this is your long lost friend(lost, I mean contacts, forget the social media), instead of the curses, its inexpressible sounds,' Whaaaat, OMG, Ahhhh, Ohhh' and then, you exchange cards, can't be late for work.   
When you meet at your break time, you find out he's the current managing director of one of your dream cars. Glory be to God, he's a generous giver, for apology sake, you are given a new car, you can't believe it, you ask a billion times, 'Are you sure, is it really mine, you must be joking, please, I hope this is not a joke, please stop, we are no longer kids, no pranks... You are practically dumbstruck, you can't believe it,'Abi, Is this 419? Just like that?' You feel like you are in a dream too good to be true.
Well, that's the way God works my brother, my sister, father and mother, just be grateful(however, don't forget to pay your tithes *smiles*)

From Luke 1:5, I discovered that the birth of John popularly known as John the Baptist was a that of different lineages and personalities
His Father, Zechariah: The priestly line of Abijah
His Mother, Elizabeth: The priestly line of Aaron
He would walk under the spirit and Power of Elijah.

Luke 1:6 shows me that 'And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.' How?
Let's not forget the fact that Elizabeth was considered barren, imagine, the mockery, the shame, the accusations, etc., yet, they were said to be blameless and at that time, Jesus had not come, so still the law, how were they labeled to have walked in ALL of God's commandments?

Luke 1:41 Wait o, just by the baby leaping for joy in the mother's womb, the mother was filled with the Holyspirit, #supernatural...

Verse 80 of Chapter 1, The Book of Luke John had the wilderness experience, what Jesus experienced for 40days was probably a lifestyle for John.
Oh, how Blessed is it to be the cousin, fore runner, light bearer, advertisement of the saviour of the world, JESUS!!!
