What did God do for you in the year 2016???

- He delivered me from the Spirit of depression.
- He broke away the bondages and chains of fear that has held me down for as long as secondary school.
- He always responded when I questioned him, He didn't leave me hanging.
- He revealed to me things to happen so that nothing would catch me unaware.
- He opened my eyes through this scriptures: John 14:27, John 17:17.
- He saved me from the fangs of sickness and the claws of death.
- He surrounded me with a strong support system: from My Lovely Family to my Amazing friends to My Ever Attentive and Discerning Spiritual Mentors.
- He opened up my voice and anointed her.
- He opened my eyes and gave me the grace to learn how to save money.
- He loved me and took care of me like his child, that I am.
- He taught me that life, good health, education, provision, are all miracles that we experience daily, but we take for granted.
- I read so much books, and that increased my knowledge sphere.
- I learnt from Him that when things don't work out, He wants you to learn lessons from it because He's preparing you for something much greater and you will need to apply what you have learnt to sustain you.
- I went through one of the most challenging and silent times of my life with God and I came out victorious because He never left my side, NEVER!

I am blessed, If God did all this for me last year, then, I can say:
Lord, increase my greatness in the
- knowledge of who you are,
- knowledge of what Life is all about

Lord, increase my greatness in my capability to thank you at every moment for the things you have done, you are doing and the things you will do(even though, you have already done it)

Lord, increase my greatness in the area of trusting you and Understanding that I can not always be in control and that is okay because as long as you are in charge, NOTHING can go wrong.

Lord, increase my greatness in my finances corner, more moneyinspirations.

I could write and write but for now, I have decided to drop my pen and continue to thank him for how much He was to me in the last year...He did quite a lot and I didn't notice, probably because I didn't write it down.

I encourage you, today or whenever you are free but as soon as possible, find a spot where you can think...Then, reflect on how the last year went, the things God did for you...As you recall, write down as much as you can.
  When you are through, read through all the points and you would be amazed at all the things the Lord has done for you, that you never took note of...
  Share these testimonies with your friends, family, your Facebook friends, your WhatsApp friends, Church, this is because the more you share, the more God sends more blessings and the Devil is conquered...

"And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their TESTIMONY. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die."Revelations 12:11, NLT.

The Lord bless you and Keep you, in Jesus Mighty name...Amen. Have a lovely day today.#Reflect2016/17

Happy New Year..I am glad you made it!!!

I confess that I consider the entrance into the New Year, a privilege and blessing, not just for me, but for my family, friends, and everyone that has been a part of the family of Christ...
  Today, I might not write much because apart from the fact that I am still in awe of how fast the last year came and went, I am in greater awe on how the Lord saw me through the last year, the lessons He taught me, the bondages and captivities He set me free from and so much more...I do not intend to sound selfish but I intend to reflect on all the past and look forward to the future, not alone but with God on my side, holding my right hand and leading me wherever he intends to take me to...

This year, My Personal theme: To trust the Lord with all that I am and with all I have.
For, I do not know what the future holds, so my only take is to trust the One who knows and is totally in charge. I encourage you to do the same. It is well with You. I pray that the Lord holds your hand in this era of change and grants you clear direction, gives you strenght and enable you to fulfill the plans and promises of God for your life and the grace to continue strong and finish well in this out Christian race.

I am glad you made it into this new year, but you must also realise that with such a great gift as life comes a greater responsibility, to establish the Kingdom of God, here on earth.In this new year, I encourage you to make conscious efforts to expand the kingdom of God here on earth because remember, we are all just passing through this earth...We are all pilgrims, Our final destination is Our Heavenly home and there the full family awaits us all....I can't wait!!!!!

Happy New Year People of God..Happy New Year...It is going to be a great year..Welcome, Once Again..

The Faith Principle!

The Holy Spirit once, No!, more than once, infact, everyday tells me that "What you believe, you get", this is not a prayer.
  He said, "Simply believing is the key", If you believe it, it would work for you.

He said, "Why most Christians don't attain the places & positions God has destined for them or posess the possessions that is rightly theirs is simply because they lack faith."

Most times, we attribute faith like it's a prayer to God but have you really looked at the meaning of Faith.
 FAITH: This is substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Heb. 11:1(KJV),
   In simpler terms:
FAITH: This is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

NOTE: Although, it is God-oriented, there is no mention of God in the definition.
   It is simply believing in your heart that what you want, you get it.

Yes, God works in us to produce faith and helps us to do what pleases him but please realise that Faith is a divine(God-iniated) principle that is 90% dependent on man, 5% dependent on luck and chance(or circumstances) and 5% on God.

Just like other principles that work when you apply them even if you might not know the origin or originator, the same applies with Faith!
  I have never met Issac Newton but that doesn't mean I am not affected by the Law of gravity.
   This is why you can see an atheist or non-believer (of Christ) prospering and expanding, they are simply applying the Faith principle, and it is working for them.

The Faith principle can be applied to every area of your life, How?
  By speaking positive words especially the words of God(biblical scriptures).

Let's take a look at this scenario,
Bisi is having troubles with her finances; eating, transport and taking care of her family is becoming increasingly difficult.

She doesn't give up or get depressed, instead She says,"The Lord shall supply ALL my needs according to his riches in glory, My family and I are living off the bank account of heaven, Lines are falling for me in pleasant places, I can never be stranded, I receive help from strangers", and so on.
  The words start to take effect immediately, Bisi might not feel like she's prospering but she begins to see God's hands in everything she does.
  The Faith principle works for her. The Faith principle can work for you.

All you have to do is BELIEVE & SPEAK IT to reality and It is yours(in Jesus name)!

P.S: I would love your hear your testimonies of how you applied *Faith* and how it worked for you...

Have a lovely day ahead! #Shalom #Inspire me thoughts

November: A Month of .....

When I heard "Begin to thank God for allowing you to see & enter the month of November", I thought I was dreaming or I did not hear well.
   When did November come? It was like this month just sneaked up on me.

How? Wait o, do you mean October is really over? Na wa o..

First, I must say "God, My God, Thank you".
So, you mean next month is December, just like that, the end of the year is here, Christmas, How na?

Hmm, that means increase in market prices, even with the current hike in prices..Kai!!!

Well, Baba God(My Surest Daddy), I stand on your word that says "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
  In this month, up till December, My family and I feed on the riches(*the bank account) of heaven, in Jesus name.

November, November, the preparation month for the "show" in the village that one has arrived....which means the month that records an increase in the rate of money ritual resulting to increase in negative vices like kidnapping, road-sea-air accidents...

Baba God(My 24-7-365 always available Daddy), your word says that "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety".
  Lord, I claim your promises of protection for my family and myself. We shall not entertain any sympathy party, they will Passover the gates of our house, in Jesus name...

Shout out to the month of November: On behalf of my family, my loved ones and myself, the word of the Lord says that "He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases", so we walk in the wholeness of life, we enjoy vitality and good health...

Wait, Please wait o, I hope you have been claiming these promises, for they are not just for me & my family but also for you and your family.
As long as you claim it, It is yours.

Claim it: As for me & my family, in this month, The Lord shall surprise us with THE ELEVENTH HOUR MIRACLE.

Welcome to the month of THE ELEVENTH HOUR BREAKTHROUGH.
Happy New Month!!!

When it feels like NOTHING is Happening...

Have you ever imagined what the Israelites must have felt like, when God told them to enter the Red Sea.
  What must have been going through their minds?
- Joseph: What if the water should fall back when we are in the middle of the sea?

- Mattaniah: Is it me that will enter first, No o, so that I will become the scape goat?

- Joshua: I will enter and I will come out.

- Sarah: I can't wait to enter and laugh at those silly Egyptians.

- Azariah: I will follow Moses with my family, so that anything that happens, we will be in it together.

- Mariam: Is this really happening? Are we really out of Egypt? Our God is mighty.

- Hannaniah: Mummy, Look at that big fish, it's winking at me.

- Terah: Ehn, A whole sea dividing,(hisses). Wonders shall never end, Let us just get in and get out before the Egyptians use their magic to close the water.
  If they could turn water to blood, Maybe, they will turn the whole sea to blood(Ewwww)....

These are just short illustration clips of what must have been going through their minds.
Some were speaking through the eyes of Faith, others through the physical, human eyes and some, through the imaginative eyes of their hearts.

Everyone of them had different perspectives to the breakthrough God had wrought right in front of them.

   As they were back then, so are we right now.

When God gives you a promise and is fulfilling it in a way you don't expect, How do you react?

When God tells you, He's giving you the latest Rangerover model and till this morning, you trekked to Church or you were almost arguing with the conductor over your 50naira change that he did not want to give you.

Perhaps, your case is not a car but a spouse, you ve seen yourself in your wedding attire but No Spouse.

Probably, you are even married, but you are experiencing in-laws problem or financial Wahala and God's promises to you is that you will live in peace and abundance, meanwhile, nothing is happening.

What is your reaction? Through what eyes are you viewing God's promises? Is it through the eyes of Faith or through your physical eyes?

Please Note: Your view determines your level of gratitude and this influences the magnitude of your results and the speed of its delivery.

So, the next time you are experiencing the opposite of God's promises to you,
Remember this: God is with you even in the middle of your Red Sea, whether you feel it or not.

He has promised this,
“I will personally go with you,(insert your name), and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”-Exo. 33:14, NLT

So, instead of feeling down: Start to praise him through the eyes of Faith. It will do you much good. I promise you!

Happy New Month!!!

In this hard times, This is for you!

Jesus: “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear.
   Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?"-Matt. 6:25,NLT

Then, I asked,'If life is more than food and body more than clothing, then, what exactly are we living for?

Jesus: "Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and love righteously, and He'll give you everything you need."-Matt. 6:33, NLT

Then, I asked,'What is the kingdom of God?

Jesus: "For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."-Rom. 14:17,NLT

Then, I pondered and asked,'How do you get all these in the Holyghost(especially in these hard times)?

Jesus: "You need to meet and get to know the Holyghost."

Then, I reflected and asked,'Who is the Holyghost?

Jesus: "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever"-John 14:16, AMP

Hmmmm, Okay, so what does he have to do with me?,'I asked

Jesus: "When the Spirit of truth comes,
-He will guide you into all truth.
-He will tell you about the future.
-He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you."-John 16:13, 14:26, NLT

Then I thought to myself,'So what this means is that if I am close to this Holyspirit, He is the one that will show me how to seek the Kingdom of God by producing righteousness, peace and joy in me...
  Hmmm, this means I wouldn't have to stress myself and at the same time Jesus will give me everything I need, meaning I will not lack anything.
  No wonder!!!! He said I should not bother my head.
  Is there any better deal than this? I DON'T THINK SO.

RECIPE FOR SERVICE

Ingredients
- Prayer
- Thanksgiving
- Giving
- Tithes
- Offering
- Your gifts & abilities
- Study of the word
N.B: 1/2 cup can never bring out the flavour of 1 cup.
God wants your all, the whole 1 cup not 1/2.

Q: In cooking, why is one given a recipe? In maths, why do you make use of formulas?
A: We are given recipes & formulas to produce the desired results of the one who gave us the recipes & formulas.

Once you miss an ingredient or you mix up the measurements, you can be sure that you are not going to produce the desired results.
  This is the same with our lives: In offering a holy & acceptable service to God, you need to meet up with all the requirements, not partial or mixed up or imbalanced or incorrect, it has to be up to standard.

My Dear, God wants your all, He wants to be the driver of your life, of your destiny, not a backseat passenger.
  Jesus loves you deeply and He wants to help you.
He wants to drag you from the miry pit of confusion, blame, guilt, dissatisfaction that you have found yourself in, but He can't pull you out by holding your hair, it will hurt you, instead, He needs to hold your hands, so that it will be easier to pull you out.
  Don't you think that's great?

So, what are you waiting for, All those you thought could render help to you have failed, so why the hesitation?

NOTE OF WARNING:He won't always be around because time is running out!!!
