Apostles Messages

REASON WHY ARE HERE ON EARTH MATT 9: 35-38, TO DO HIS WILL (1054) A) B) C) D) E)

HARVEST ARE PLENTIFUL – SICK PEOPLE, UNBELIEVER HE NEEDS OUR SUPPORT FOR THE HARVEST. ADAM BROUGHT IN SIN & DEATH JESUS BROUGHT LIGHT – LIFE FROM THE DEAD THE SICK NEEDS A DOCTOR, A MAD MAN DOESN’T KNOW HE IS SICK BUT THINKS OTHERS ARE.

2. WHAT POWER DO WE HAVE TO HEAL THE SICK? IT’S (THE HOLY SPIRIT) JESUS IN US. 3. NO EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED FOR THE JOURNEY. MATT 10: 5 -28

WE NEED TO BE BUSY BEFORE HE COMES BACK MATT 25: 19 -30 PARABLE OF TALENT – SERVANT (1077) WHY DO YOU ASK GOD TO FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT? IS IT FOR POWER, STRENGTH, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM TO GO TO CHURCH, TO SPEAK IN TONGUES, TO ASK FOR MATERIAL THINGS; HOUSE, CAR, AEROPLANE, CLOTHES, WIFE, HUSBAND, ETC. ‘NO’ BUT TO USE IT TO DO HIS WILL – EVANGELISE TO PEOPLE, PREACH, HELP TO BUILD CHURCH, SCHOOLS, CHURCH HOSPITALS, BUSES FOR CHURCH, HELP TO MEET THE NEED OF PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY. TODAY’S BELIEVERS ARE PLANNING ON HOW BUILD MANSIONS, COMPANY AEROPLANE, HAVING BILLIONS OF CURRENCY IN ACCOUNT BUT THE CHURCH IS STAGNANT. THE CHURCH HAS NO BUS, NO CAR, NO INSTRUMENT, LOOK INTO YOUR HEART SINCE YOU RECIEVED CHRIST, WHAT HAVE YOU SOWN INTO GOD’S HOUSE? ITS GOD’S HOUSE......NO MAN OF GOD WILL TAKE THE CHURCH BUILDING TO HEAVEN. WHEN YOU ARE BUILDING AN INHERITANCE, LET GENERATIONS TO COME PARTAKE OF IT. MATT 25:24 – 36 (1077) WHEN YOU CARE FOR CHILDREN OF GOD, YOU ARE ACTUALLY CARING FOR GOD AND HE WILL CARE FOR YOU IN RETURN AND YOUR ASSIGNMENT WILL BE COMPLETED BY GOD. JEHOVAH’S WITNESS NEVER STOPS PREACHING UNTIL GOD COMES THAT HERE IS NOT FOR YOU--- AS YOU SOW INTO GOD’S HOUSE, GOD WILL BUILD YOUR HOUSE IN PARADISE, WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT YOU GET, THE LAZY SERVANT REAPS WHATSOEVER HE SOWS. GOD BLESS YOU, AMEN

GOD HAS THE KEY TO YOUR LIFE ISAIAH 55:8 – 11(794) HIS THOUGHTS, WAYS AND PLANS DIFFERS FROM OURS. TO BE TRAINED FOR A TRADE IS GOOD, BUT TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT TRADE MATTERS.

1. DAVID WAS TRINED TO CARE FOR HIS FATHER’S SHEEP – (KING) 1SAM 16:7-13(305) 2. PETER, ANDREW, JOHN, JAMES AS FISHERS OF FISH – (FISHERS OF MEN) MATT 4:18 – 23(1046) 3. PROV 16:3 COMMIT YOUR PLANS TO GOD. ISIAIH 49:15(783) SOME ARE TRAINED AS DOCTORS, LAWYERS, CARPENTERS, SHOE MAKERS, TEACHERS, COOKS, NURSES, ETC ISAIAH 54:2 – 8 (ENLARGE YOUR TENT) MATT 6: 25 – 34 DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW(1050) ITS NOT HOW FAR BUT HOW WELL. RICHNESS DOES NOT COME BY HOW MUCH YOUR WORK IS BUT BY HIS GRACE. GOD PROVIDED FOR ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, MOSES, SOLOMON ETC ISA 55: 6 -12, JER 1: 5, 1SAM 16:7 -13, EX 2: 1-3, 9 – 12, MATT 4:18 – 23.

AN ATTEMPT TO GET ANYTHING DOES NOT MEAN YOU ACHIEVE IT 1) AN ATEMPT TO READ THE BIBLE OR LISTEN THE PREACHER IN CHURCH DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU AS A DEVOTED CHRISTIAN UNTIL WE FULFILL ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IN THE BIBLE 2) AN ATTEMPT TO SHOOT ANIMALS OR BIRDS DOES NOT MEAN ITS YOURS UNTIL YOU HAVE IT IN YOURS. ‘PRACTICALITY’ IS IMPORTANT...NEARLY CANNOT KILL A BIRD. 3) AN ATTEMPT TO BUY ANYTHING IN THE MARKET IS NOT YOURS UNTIL YOU PAY FOR IT. 4) AN ATTEMPT TO GO TO THE EMBASSY MANY TIMES IS NOT THE ISSUE, UNTIL YOU HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS, THE VISA CANNOT BE ISSUED TO YOU. 5) MOSES ATTEMPTED TO LEAD THE ISRAELITES BUT HE DID NOT ENTER THE PROMISE LAND. HE LISTENED TO GOD BUT HE DID NOT OBEY HIM. 6) AN ATTEMPT TO BUILD A HOUSE DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU TO BE A LANDLORD UNTIL YOU PURCHASE THE LAND AND COMPLETE THAT BUILDING, YOU CANT BE PART OF THE LANDLORD’S ASSOCIATION. 7) AN ATTEMPT TO LIVE IN A PARTICULAR COUNTRY DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU AS A CITIZEN OF THAT COUNTRY UNTIL YOU HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY YOU. 8) AN ATTEMPT TO GO TO A MEDICAL SCHOOL DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU TO BE A DOCTOR UNTIL YOU HAVE SATISFIED THE EXAMINATION BOARD AND DECLARED SUCCESSFUL. 9) AN ATTEMPT TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU UNTIL YOU ARE CALLED TO BAR. 10)AN ATTEMPT TO EMBARK ON A JOURNEY IS NOT THE ISSUE UNTIL YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION.

11)AN ATTEMPT TO DATE OR LIVE WITH YOUR FIANCEE DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU AS HUSBAND AND WIFE UNTIL YOU ARE JOINED TOGETHER IN HOLY MATRIMONY. 12)AN ATTEMPT FOR THE EGYPTIAN ARMIES TO PURSUE THE ISRAELITES WASN’T THE ISSUE UNTIL THEY WERE DROWNED AND DIED IN THE RED SEA. 13)AN ATTEMPT TO GO TO THE TEACHER’S TRAINING COLLEGE IS NOT ENOUGH UNTIL YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE FINAL EXAMS AND SATISFIED THE STATE BOARD. THE SAME GOES FOR GOING TO THE RIVER IS NOT ENOUGH UNTIL YOU BRING WATER HOME. 14)AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL OR TO ROB IS NOT CONFIRMED. UNTIL CAUGHT IN THE ACT, YOU REMAIN A SUSPECT BY THE POLICE. 15)AN ATTEMPT COMING TO CHURCH DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU AS A PASTOR, LEADER, TEACHER OR A CHRISTIAN UNTIL YOU OBEY THE BIBLE, ONE WHO TITHES, EVANGELISE, IS BAPTISED, FULFIL YOUR VOWS, ETC.

NO PERSON, COMMUNITY OR NATION HAS THE POWER TO STOP THE CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS JER 1: 5 – 10 OVER 2000YRS AGO UNTIL NOW, NO PERSON, PRESIDENT OR NATION HAS THE POWER TO STOP THE CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS. THE BEST THEY COULD DO IS TO MAKE HIS BIRTHDAY TO A HAPPY HOLIDAY, PRAISE GOD. I AM ENCOURAGING CHRISTIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO STAND FIRM NO MATTER WHAT THE REPORT OF THE ENEMY IS AS REGARDS THE BIRTH OF JESUS. REMEMBER THAT BEFORE HE WAS BORN, THE ENEMY’S PLAN WAS TO KILL HIM AND TERMINATE GOD’S PLAN. MATT 2:1 – 9 KING HEROD AND HIS PEOPLE PRETENDING TO SEARCH FOR HIM IN ORDER TO WORSHIP HIM BUT THIER INTENTION WAS TO KILL HIM AND HIS VISION BUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T SUCCEED, THEY DEVICED ANOTHER PLAN TO KILL ALL THE MALE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF TWO AND BECAUSE GOD WAS WITH JOSEPH AND MARY, HE CAME TO THIER RESCUE BY DIRECTING THEM TO RECOLATE TO ANOTHER CITY QUIETLY . NO ENEMY CAN TERMINATE GOD’S DREAM, HE WILL ALWAYS DIRECT US. 1COR 2:9

NO SIN IS ABOVE FORGIVENESS (STORY OF JOSEPH & HIS BROTHERS) GEN 37: 28 – 36 FROM THE PIT TO POTIPHAR’S HOUSE AND TO CAPTAIN. GEN 50: 15- 21 BLOOD OF GOAT AS JOSEPH

2SAM 12: 9 & 13 ESAU & JACOB. THIER MOTHER CONSPIRED WITH JACOB. DAVID DECIEVED URRIAH’S WIFE AND ALSO KILLED URRIAH. MANY PEOPLE FEEL THIER SINS ARE TOO MUCH THAT GOD CANNOT FORGIVE. WE WERE STILL SINNERS WHEN GOD SENT JESUS AS A PERFECT LAMB TO COME AND DIE FOR US WE HAVE A SINFUL NATURE AND WE ARE BOUND TO SIN BUT WHOEVER BELIEVES IS FORGIVEN AND HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. HOW CAN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SINNED? – – –

THE WAY YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE YOU GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE YOU TELL LITTLE LIES TO GET ONE THING OR THE OTHER

A SINNER IS A SINNER. THERE’S NO GREATER SIN THAN THE OTHER..... A MURDERER, A ROBBER, A THIEF, STEALING BY PEN(419), EMBESSLEMENT,FALSE WITNESS, CHEATING YOUR EMPLOYERS, ENSLAVING OTHERS, PASTORS FALSE DOCTRINES, FAKE MARRIAGE CONTRACTS, ETC NOW THAT WE KNOW THESE THINGS ARE SIN, WE CAN AGREE THAT WE ARE SINNERS, NONE OF US ARE EXEMPTED. GOD SAW ALL OF THESE AND SENT JESUS TO FORGIVE US BY DIEING ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SIN. JN 8: 3 -11, ISAIAH 43:1- 6.

GOD’S JUDGEMENT IS BASED ON OUR PRESENT ATTITUDE AND NOT THE PAST. WHY? EVERY PASS MARK/ PROMOTION IS BASED ON THE PRESENT ANSWER TO A QUESTION. EXAMPLE: PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION:

PARABLE OF TWO SONS.

IT’S ONE THING TO LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION AND ITS ANOTHER TO CHANGE. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP DOING GOOD BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHEN CHRIST WILL COME. THE PARABLE OF THE WORKER IN THE VINEYARD: THE LAST WILL BE THE FIRST(MATT 20: 1- 16) WE HAVE TO WATCH AND PRAY AT ALL TIMES. WE SHOULD ALSO LEARN FROM THE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PRESENT AND PAST TROUBLES ROB YOU OF TOMORROW’S BLESSINGS JN 8: 1 -11 UNTIL WE FORGET OUR PAST MISTAKES, DISAPPOINTMENTS, TROUBLES, FAILURES, DELAYED EFFORTS,SINS, AFFLICTIONS, HUMILIATIONS ETC, WE CAN’T MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE BECAUSE THE DEVIL NEVER WANTS ANYTHING GOOD FOR US. HE WANTS TO DO EVERYTHING TO STOP US FROM WORSHIPPING OUR FATHER BY BRINGING OUR PAST TO MEMORY BUT WHAT HE DOESN’T KNOW IS THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR US. PS 37:23, ISA 65: 17 – 20 JESUS IN YOUR LIFE IS YOUR SPIRITUAL ADJUSTMENT. ONLY GOD CAN HELP YOU. PHIL 3: 12 -13 PEOPLE WHO FORGOT THIER PAST: 1. GOD HIMSELF GAVE ROOM FOR REPENTANCE TO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN CHRIST 2. JESUS FORGOT THE PAST OF WHAT THE PEOPLE DID TO HIMAND STILL FORGAVE THEM 3. NELSON MANDELA FORGOT THE PAST IN THE PRISON 4. THE APOSTLES FORGOT THE PAST AND FORGAVE THE PEOPLE WHO JAILED THEM IN PRISON 5. JOSEPH FORGOT THE PAST HUMILIATION BY HIS BROTHERS AND FORGAVE THEM 6. ESAU FORGOT THE PAST ABOUT HIS BROTHER JACOB WHO RECIEVED HIS BLESSINGS 7. THE FATHER OF THE PRODIGAL SON FORGOT THE PAST ABOUT HIS SON’S BEHAVIOR 8. MARTIN LUTHER KING FORGOT HIS PAST 9. DISAPPOINTMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP SHOULD NOT STOP US FROM ENTERING A NEW ONE. FOR EVERYONE WHO FORGETS THE PAST, GOD PROMISES A NEW THING, LIFE, HOPE, POWER ETC. ISA 43:18 – 21 FIX YOUR EYES ON WHAT IS UNSEEN BECAUSE IT IS PERMANENT AND WHAT IS SEEN IS TEMPORAL. 2 COR 4: 16 – 18.

STORY OF WHAT GOD CAN DO: A YOUNG MAN GODWIN WAS ARRESTED BECAUSE HE TRIED TO HELP MR. JOHN WHO WAS MUDERED BY SOME GUN MEN. GODWIN WAS AT THE SCENE WHEN THE POLICE ARRIVED AND HE BECAME THE POLICE SUSPECT NUMBER 1 AND WAS CHARGED TO COURT FOR MURDER.(HIS STEP MUM WAS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE SPIRITUALLY) SHE MADE IT POSSILBLE THAT EVERY GOOD THING THAT GODWIN DOES BECOMES A BAD THING IN THE SIGHT OF MAN. SHE ALSO

CAUSED HIS ELDER BROTHER OSAMAGBE TO BECOME MENTAL BUT GOD REVERSED THE SITUATION FOR HIS GLORY WHEN MRS MERCY AND HER HUSBAND, JOHN WENT FOR A SEVEN DAYS PRAYERS WITH A MAN OF GOD.

NO FORGIVENESS AND TRANSFORMATION IN HEAVEN THE STORY OF A RICH MAN AND POOR LAZARUS LK 16:19 – 31 FOR THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR FORGIVENESS & REPENTANCE IN HEAVEN, GOD GAVE US ENOUGH OF THAT OPPORTUNITY HERE ON EARTH. HE ORDAINED, LEADERS, PASTORS, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, ETC TO TEACH US HIS ORDINANCES AND COMMANDMENT TO ENABLE US GET A BETTER CHANCE ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT. EX 20: 1- 17, ISA 34: 8 – 10 ITS LIKE SETTING UP A COMPANY OR A BUSINESS, ALL NECESSARY EQUIPMENT MUST BE PROVIDED FOR THE WORKERS SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSE THAT THE WORK IS NOT DONE. SINCE GOD HAS ELLECTED HIS MINISTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO PREACH TO US ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, WE HAVE NO EXCUSE ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT. TO GUARANTEE OUR SAFE ARRIVAL TO OUR FINAL DESTINATION, WE HAVE TO FUEL OUR VEHICLES.

GOD HAS MADE FOUR PLANNETS 1) EARTH: FOR BOTH THE GOOD AND THE BAD TO LIVE FOR FORGIVENESS & TRANSFORMATION. 2) INTER-MIDDLE STATE: FOR BOTH GOOD AND BAD THAT HAVE DIED AND WAITING FOR JUDGEMENT. REV 20:11-15, EZEK 37:1-14[EZEKIEL THE PROPHET AND DRY BONES AS AN ARMY OFFICER WHILE ON EARTH] 3) WEDDING PLACE: THIS IS HEAVEN, FULL OF JOY, HAPPINESS, SALVATION, NO PREACHING, NO PASTOR, NO SICKNESS. 4) HELL: MEANT FOR THE WICKED. ITS LIKE A PRISON WITH DIFFERENT DIVISIONS ACCORDING TO THE OFFENCE COMMITTED.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD WILL PLUG YOU INTO YOUR PROSPERITY/ BREAKTHROUGH THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS TO KEEP TO HIS WORD OF COMMAND. ANYTIME, WE DEVIATE FROM HIS WORD, WE MISS IT. OUR BREAK THROUGHS MAY BE

DELAYED. IT JUST LIKE A FATHER WHO HAS MANY CHILDREN, ANYONE OF THEM WHO IS DISOBEDIENT AND STUBORN WILL NOT GET A COMPLETE PACKAGE FROM DADDY. – – – – – –

DON’T USE THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN EX 20:7 SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS EX 20:1-21 DO NOT MOCK THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED PEOPLE LEV 11:18 DO NOT AID AND ABET WRONG DOINGS DO NOT MAKE A VOW THAT YOU CANNOT REDEEM FEAR THE LORD PROV 1:7, DEUT 10:12-131

LOOKING UNTO JESUS 1) MATT 14:25-32. PETER BECAME AFRAID BECAUSE HE REMOVED HIS EYES FROM JESUS. JESUS REACHED OUT HIS HAND FROM THE WATER. NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE AT, HE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH. 2) 1KINGS 3:23-26. KING SOLOMON AND THE TWO WOMEN- ONE WISE AND ONE FOOLISH. 3) 2KINGS 4:38-41. A GROUP OF PROPHETS MEET ELIJAH AND ONE WANTED TO POISON HIS FOOD BUT GOD DIS-HARMED IT. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE FAILED, LOOK UNTO JESUS. HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WAITING TO HELP YOU.

YOKE. (DESTROYING OF COVENANT) 1) SPIRIT OF SET BACK 2) COVENANT OF MARRIAGE 3) BLOOD COVENANT AND CURSES THROUGH IDOLS 4) SPIRIT OF WITCHCRAFT 5) CURSES THROUGH ABORTION 6) SPIRIT POVERTY OR SPIRITUAL DEATH 7) BARRENESS COVENANT 8) SPIRIT WFE& HUSBAND 9) PERSONAL COVENANT AND DEDICATION 10)SPIRIT OF LESBIANISM & HOMOSEXUALITY 11)FIRST SON & DAUGHTER

GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU IS MORE THAN YOUR THOUGHTS JER 29:11-13MANY PEOPLE FEEL DISAPPOINTED IN GOD BECAUSE THIER IMMEDIATE PLANS HAVE NOT UNFOLDED YET BUT GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU IS MORE THAN WHAT THE ENEMY THINKS.

2COR 4:16-18 DON’T GIVE UP BECAUSE OF THE TROUBLE YOU ARE FACING PRESENTLY. WORK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT – I AM NOT MOVED BY WHAT I SEE BUT BY THE WORD OF God. IF THERE IS A WAY INTO ANY SITUATION, THERE IS ALSO ALWAYS A WAY OUT. WHETHER IT’S IN PRISON, HOSPITAL, COURT, SICKNESS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF SITUATION. PS 37:23 ILLUSTRATION: A YOUNG GIRL WAS TO GO ON A HOLIDAY AND RETURN BACK HOME. SHE WENT TO A PASTOR FOR PRAYERS AND THE PASTOR SAID I SEE YOU HOLDING A SPOON AND A BIG POT IS BEFORE YOU. YOUR HOLIDAY WILL BE GOOD BUT YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT. HER HOME CHANGED TO HOLIDAY AND HER HOLIDAY CHANGED TO HER HOME. 1COR 2:9 SOME EUROPEANS AND AMERICANS LEFT THIER COUNTRY FOR HOLIDAY IN AFRICA TO SEE IF PEOPLE TRULLY LIVE ON TREES BUT GOD TURNS THINGS AROUND FOR THEM AND THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH THE AFRICANS AND RELOCATE BACK TO AFRICA WITH THIER WEALTH BECAUSE GOD HAS CHANGE THEIR WRONG IMPRESSION FOR GOOD AND VICE VERSA SOME AFRICANS. YOUR NATIONALITY OR BACKGROUND CANNOT DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE. GOD’S PLAN SUPERCEEDS ALL HUMAN ENDAVOURS. ISA 65:17-20, 43:18-21. THE WOORST THE ENEMY CAN DO IS TO TRY AND STOP YOU FROM TRUSTING GOD. MOSES WAS BORN IN THE TIME WHEN PHARAOH GAVE AN ORDER THAT ALL MALE BORN CHILDREN SHOULD BE KILLED BUT GOD PROTECTECTED MOSES AND KEPT HIM IN PHARAOH’S PALACE.

GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN OUR FAILURE BUT OUR SUCCESS. MATT 26:69-73, 14:28,32 TODAY, CHRISTIANS BLAME GOD FOR THIER FAILURES INSTEAD OF FINDING OUT HOW TO SUCCEED. AILURE IS DELAY AND NOT DEFEAT. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU FAIL, GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES A WAY OF ESCAPE. JUDGES6:12-13 . DO NOT GIVE GOD ANY REST UNTIL HE ESTABLISHES YOU. THE SPIRIT OF DOUBT CAN MAKE ONE TO FAIL. IT CAN MAKE A JOURNE OF ONE DAY TO LAST FOR 12DAYS AND SCHOOL OF 6YRS TO LAST FOR 12YEARS. WHICH WILL COST EXTRA TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY. SOME PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE EXPERIENCED SUCH. THE LIKES OF PETER, JUDAS ISCARIOT, SAUL, LOT’S WIFE,JONAH ETC. PS 37:28-29, JER31:3-5, ISA43:2, 49:15. GOD IS STILL THERE IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLES. HAB1:1-4, HEB2:1-3, JUDGES6:13 HAGAR DESPISED SARAH AND SHE WAS SENT AWAY BUT GOD STILL CAME TO HER RESCUE. GEN16:3-4,6-9, MATT19:26

BREAKTHROUGH IS BASED ON OUR EXTRA PATIENCE IN THE LORD. (SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST) GEN3:1-7, MATT 16:19. THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS BASED ON OUR EXTRA PATIENCE IN GOD.(IMPATIENCE LEADS TO SORROW) E.G ADAM&EVE. MATT 6:25-33 DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ALL HIS RIGHTOUSNESS. MATT 7:7 ASK, SEEK, KNOCK. IF PEOPLE FORSAKE YOU, GOD WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU. ISA 43:1-7. ISA 43:18-21, 30:18-19, 21-22 HE WILL CHANGE YOUR SITUATION. GEN 2:24, MATT 22:30, DEUT 24:4, GEN 49:4, MAL2:14, EPH 5:21-32

WE MUST RELEASE WHAT IS IN OUR HANDS IN ORDER TO GET WHAT WE NEED. 2SAM 24:24-25. DAVID SAID I WILL NOT OFFER UNTO GOD THAT WHICH COST ME NOTHING. GIVE YOUR TIME, STRENGTH, SKILLS,EFFORT, MONEY TO GOD. 2KINGS 4:1-7. THE WIDOW’S OIL. 2COR 9:1-10. SOWING & REAPING LK 1:26-28, 1KGS 3:20-27 AS YOU RELEASE WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS, GOD WILL RELEASE WHAT IS IN HIS HANDS AND WHAT HE HOLDS IN HIS HANDS IS FAR MORE GREATER THAN YOURS. WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR LITTLE IN HIS HANDS, IT BECOMES MUCH. GOD GAVE HIS BEST SO HE COULD OVERCOME THE SINS OF THE WORLD BY GIVING JESUS AS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB. A) B) C) D) E) F) G) H) I) J) K) L) M) N)

ABRAHAM GAVE ISAAC. BY FAITH, SHEDRACH, MESHACH & ABEDNEGO SURRENDERED. ONE OF THE PROSTITUTES GAVE HER SON FOR THE OTHER WIDOW WOMAN (ELIJAH) DANIEL ABRAHAM GAVE SARAH NELSON MANDELA SURRENDEREDISAAC GAVE REBECCA PETER AND THE OTHER DISCIPLES IN PRISON FASTING FOR SOMETHING INVESTING LITTLE FOR MULTIPLICATION DAVID REFUSED TO SLEEP UNTIL HE FOUND A PLACE FOR GOD SOWING A SEED FOR THE SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM TITHING HANNAH GAVE SAMUEL

O) PAUL CHOSE NOT TO MARRY ECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR GOD

IDENTIFYING THE MIXED MULTITUDE AMONG US. EX 12:37-38 WHO IS THE MIXED MULTITUDE? THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MOVE WITH THE SAVED BUT ARE NOT SAVED THEMSELVES. IN EGYPT, THEY MOVED WITH THE ISRAELITES WITHOUT GOALS. THEY AVOID LABOUR, PUNISHMENT, ETC. 1COR 10: 1-6 CHARACTERISTICS OF MIXED MULTITUDES 2COR 10:1-12 1) MUMURING, COMPLAINING, GRUMBLING AT ANY SLIGHTEST DIS COMFORT NUMB 11:4-5 2) MISPLACED VALUES: THE LAY MORE EMPHASIS AND PLACE VALUES ON PHYSICAL THINGS THAN SPIRITUAL THINGS. 3) THEY PRETEND TO BE BORN AGAIN BUT NOT TRUTHFUL OF FAITHFUL. 4) APART FROM THE CHURCH, THEY ARE IN THE GOVT, WORKING PLACE, POLITICAL GATHERINGS, PARTIES ETC. THEY STARTED COMPLAINING IN THE WILDERNES. BECAUSE OR THEIR MOUTH, MOSES MADE A MISTAKE.... DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM, THEY GOSSIP ABOUT THE PASTOR, CHURCH ACCOUNT, CRITISIZE STRONG CHRISTIANS, DISCOURAGE GOOD THINGS COMING TO YOU AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THEM SO YOU ARE NOT MISLED.. JN 8:33 – 39

ASSOCIATION WITHOUT TRANSFORMATION MK14:18-20 JAMES 1:22. THIS IS A RESULT OF HEARING THE WORD AND NOT DOING IT. PARTICIPATING IN ALL THE CHURCH ACTIVITIES DOESN’T MEAN TRANSFORMATION IN YOUR LIFE. UNTIL WE ARE SURRENDERED TO GOD AND WE REPENT IN OUR HEARTS, WE CAN’T ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE IS SAMUEL AND HIS SONS: 1SAM 8:1-3. THEY GO TO CHURCH WITH THIER FATHER BUT THEY WEREN’T CHANGED. IF YOUR MOTIVE IS WRONG, YOU MAY ASSOCIATE WITH A PERSON OF GOOD CHARACTER, IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU CHANGED UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW CHRIST INDEED. ELISHA AS A SERVANT TO PROPHET ELIJAH, SERVED WITH A GOOD HEART AND RECIEVED A DOUBLE PORTION OF HIS ANOINTING. GEHAZI AS A SERVANT OF ELISHA DID NOT SERVE WITH A GOOD AND SINCERE HEART SO HE RECIEVED LEPROSY INSTEAD OF ANOINTING. 2KGSB5:20-27, 2:9-16 & 39, MK 14:18-20, 43-45. JUDAS(A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST) SERVED JESUS WITH A BAC HEART. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CARRY OUT SPIRITUA SANITATION ON YOUR LIFE FROM TIME TO TIME NO MATTER WHAT POSITION YOU OCCUPY.

PHILEMON 1:10-12. AFTER ONESIMUS STOLE, INSTEAD OF REPENTING WITH GOD, HE STARTED RUNNING AWAY FROM PHILEMON. IT’S BETTER TO SETTLE WITH GOD AND RECIEVE DELIVERANCE NO MATTER THE SITUATION INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY WITHOUT TRANSFORMATION BECAUSE WHEREVER YOU GO, THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS THERE. PROB 28:13-14, HEB 13:9, 3:7-12.

OUR STARTING AND OUR STOP POINTS (MILE STONES) ARE ORDERED BY GOD GOD HAS HIS OWN WAYS AND STRATEGIES IN TAKING US TO OUR NEXT LEVEL AND MAN IS TOTALLY OUT OF THE PICTURE. EX 1:15-17. THE KING GAVE HIS COMMANDS BUT IT WAS GOD’S STRATEGY TO TURN THINGS AROUND. PROV 16:1 & 9, JER 1:1-5, EX 2:1-10, 3:4-8 ENGR. BRIGHT WAS BORN AND BREAD IN AMERICA. AFTER HIS FIRST DEGREE, HE WAS JOB HUNTING FOR ONE YEAR AND GOT A JOB BUT HE LOST THAT JOB AFTER SIX MONTHS SO HE BECAME WORRIED ABOUT LIFE ‘’MATT 6:25-34’’ HE THOUGHT HIS DEGREE WAS TOO LITTLE TO GET HIM AN EXECUTIVE JOB SO HE TOOK A BANK LOAN AND ADDED THE LITTLE MONEY HE HAD TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL FOR A MASTERS DEGREE. SIX MONTHS INTO HIS SCHOOLING, HE GOT A JOB WITH A FRIEND’S HELP AND LATER WENT FOR A P.HD AND GOOD JOBS KEPT COMING IN BUT THE COMPANIES WERE UNABLE TO PAY HIM. SO AFTER MANY YEARS, GOD ANSWERED HIS PRAYERS: HE GOT A JOB INTERVIEW IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WHEN HE GOT TO THERE, HE TOOK A CAB AND ON THE WAY, THE CAB DEVELOPED A FAULT AND WHILE SEEKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP, TWO YOUNG GUYS CAME OUT OF THE BUSH AND ASKED HIM TO PLEASE COME WITH THEM TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED. ON GETTING THERE, HE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CRUDE OIL & GAS FROM AN OLD SHELL LINE. GOD WHO DIRECTED HIM TO AFRICA ALL THE WAY FROM AMERICA HAD A PLAN FOR HIM. JER 1: 5. THERE IS ANOTHER STORY OF A LADY WHO WAS GIVEN A PROPHECY THAT SHR DWELLING PLACE WAS IN AMERICA AND A DAY CAME THAT SHE WAS TO BE DEPORTED TO AFRICA. WITH ALL HOPE LOST, SHE HAD TO GO BACK HOME WITHOUT ACHIEVEING HER GOALS. ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS THIS RICH & GENTLE BUSINESS MAN WHO WAS BELIEVING GOD FOR A WIFE AND ALSO RECIEVED A PROPHECY THAT HE WOULD GET MARRIED SOON THAT GOD HAD PREPARED HIS WIFE FOR HIM. SO GOD INSTRUCTED HIM TO BUY A TICKET TO NIGERIA FOR A HOLIDAY TRIP. SO HE DID. ON GETTING TO NIGERIA, HE LEFT HIS WALLET ON HIS SIT IN THE BUSINESS CLASS. IT HAPPENED THAT THIS HOPELESS LADY WAS ON THE SAME FLIGHT. ON HER WAY OUT, SHE WAS DEJECTED AND THINKING WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT PROPHECY AND WHAT WOULD BECOME OF

HER BACK HOME, THEN SHE FOUND THE MISSING WALLET AND SHE GAVE IT TO THE HOSTESSES AND LEFT HER DETAILS INCASE SHE NEEDED TO BE CONTACTED. WHEN THE GENTLE MAN RECIEVED HIS MISSING WALLET, HE CONTACTED THE LADY TO THANK HER AND THAT WAS WHERE GOD MET BOTH OF THEM AT THE POINT OF THIER NEEDS.... THEY FINALLY GOT MARRIED IN NIGERIA RIGHT THERE AND BOTH CAME BACK TO THE STATES. HE WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR PLACE OF SETTLEMENT. 1CR 2:9, JER 29:11-13, ISA 55:8-12 NELSON MANDELA WAS TRAINED AS A LAWYER AND NOT A POLITICIAN BUT GOD TRAINED HIM AS A PRESIDENT AND THAT DID NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL HE GOT TO THE PRISON. SAME GOES FOR: MOSES....TRAINED AS A SHEPHERD OVER LIVE STOCK DAVID.....AS A SHEPERD BOY AND SO ON BUT GOD HAD A DIFFERENT PLAN FOR THIER LIVES. WHEN THERE IS A DELAY IN YOUR LIFE OR THINGS ARE NOT WORKING THE WAY YOU DESIRE, DO NOT FRET BECAUSE GOD IS WORKING THINGS OUT FOR YOUR GOOD.

FAITH WITHOUT COMPASSION IS DEAD ITS JUST LIKE A BEAUTIFUL CAR WITH A BAD ENGINE. MK 8:1-8, MATT 9:36-37, LK15:11, 20-24 COMPASSION MEANS TO BE MERCIFUL TOWARDS PEOPLE, HAVE PITY AND FEELINGS TOWARD OTHERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT, WEAK AND IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. ROM 9:15 GOD LOVES US SO MUCH AND HE HAS GREAT COMPASSION FOR US THAT’S WHY HE SENT JESUS TO PREACH, HEAL, FEED US AND TO DIE FOR US. MAT 14:14, 1: 40-42, 20:30-34, JN 3:16, EX 2:6, 1SAM 24:6-7, 2KGS 13:23, LK 10:33.

TIME OF RESTORATION EZEK 36:24-36, 34:23-34 JESUS CAME AS A SHEPERD BECAUSE WE WERE A SHEEP WITHOUT ANY SHEPERD. WE HAD NO ONE TO CARE FOR US. EZEK 34:1-22, 32:1-10 BY FAITH, BELIEVERS ARE NOT DEAD JN 3:16-21 GOD’S LOVE GIVES US ETERNAL LIFE IF WE BELIEVE IN HIM. GOD HIMSELF IS THAT ETERNAL LIFE. HE HAS NO BEGINNING OR END..THAT IS THE LIFE HE PUT IN MAN (ADAM) FROM THE BEGINNING. ETERNITY HAS NO PERIOD OT TIME. IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD IN US.

PHYSICAL DEATH DOES NOT MEAN DEATH FOREVER BECAUSE THE SAME POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS LIVING IN YOU. JN 11:1-4, 17-44, MK 16:1-4 & 8, LK 24:1-53 GOD SENT JESUS TOSUFFER FOR US AND TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS ANSLO TO DIE FOR US SO THAT WE MIGHT LIVE. EZEK 37:1-14, JOB 19:25-27 , JN 3:16-21, 1 COR 15:37-54, JN 1:12-13. DEATH IS LIKE A DREAM. BECAUSE THE PHYSICAL BODY CAME FROM DUST, IT HAS TO RETURN TO DUST BUT OUR SPIRITS CAN NEVER DIE SO IT CANNOT REMAIN IN THE GRAVE. IT HAS TO RETURN TO OUR MAKER. THERE IS A TESTIMONY OF A MAN OF GOD WHO WAS CERTIFIED DEAD BY THE DOCTORS IN THE EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA AND GOD RAISED HIM BACK TO LIFE BY HIS POWER. NO DEATH IS ABOVE RESSURECTION NO SICKNESS IS ABOVE HEALING NO TROUBLE IS ABOVE SOLUTION NO MATTER HOW LONG YOUR SITUATION HAS LASTED FOR, 1,000YRS IS LIKE 1 DAY BEFORE GOD. YOUR MARRIAGE, FINANCES,HEALTH, ETC WILL SURELY RESSURECT. LOOK UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH.

THE ABILITY TO TAKE DANGER WITHOUT FEAR (SPIRIT OF COURAGE) MOSES AND AARON HAVING THE COURAGE TO APPROACH PHARAOH AS A KING MANY TIMES TO ALLOW HIS PEOPLE GO. MOSES WAS NOT AFRAID OF PHARAOH. EX 14:10-16 HE TOLD THE ISRAELITES NOT TO BE AFRAID THAT GOD WILL GIVE THEM VICTORY. SOURCE OF COURAGE COMES FROM GOD HIMSELF, JESUS& THE HOLY SPIRIT. DT 31:5-8, JOSH 10:25-26, 1COR 16:13, JOSH 1:6-9, MATT 4:1-10, 12-14 WHEN JOHN WAS KILLED, JESUS CONTINUED HIS PREACHING...ABILITY TO FACE DANGER.

1 SAM 17:26-50. DAVID AND GOLIATH DAN 6:10-12 DANIEL ACTS 4:8-13 PETER

JESUS IS THE GOOD SAMARITAN LK 10:25-37,JN 10:1-12.WE MUST PUT ON THE SPIRIT OF A GOOD SAMARITAN LIKE JESUS SO AS TO ENABLE US ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. NO SITUATION EITHER GOOD OR BAD, SHOULD STOP US JN 10:1-21 WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD TO PEOPLE THAT WILL BRING ABOUT CHANGES IN THIER LIVES NO MATTER THIER SITAUATIONS BECAUSE WE WRE ONCE LIKE THEM FOR OUR SINS, JESUS GAVE US FORGIVENESS FOR OUR HATE, HE GAVE US LOVE FOR OUR DESPAIR, HE GAVE US HOPE FOR OUR DOUBT, HE GAVE US FAITH FOR OUR SADNESS, HE GAVE US JOY FOR OUR DISEASES, HE GAVE US HEALTH FOR OUR POVERTY, HE GAVE US WEALTH WE CAN TESTIFY THAT JESUS HAS SET US FREE INDEED. MATT 9:35-38

APPRECIATION + THANKSGIVING = OPEN DOORS NOT UNTIL CHRISTIANS LEARN HOW TO APPRECIATE THE LITTLE WE HAVE AND THANK GOD FOR IT, THERE WILL BE NO MORE OPEN DOORS. ROM 1:21-25 IF WE CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT A PARTICULAR SITUATION, WE SHOULD ALSO BE A BLE TO BE THANKFUL FOR ALL GOD HAS DONE IN THE PAST AND IS CURRENTLY DOING IN THE PRESENT. THE PRESENCE OF TROUBLE DOE NOT MEAN THE ABSENCE OF GOD. JN 6:11 JESUS TAUGHT US HOW TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD. WHEN YOU RECIEVE MONEY, YOU DO NOT THINK OF TESTIFYING BUT WHEN YOU LOSE MONEY, YOU START TO CALL EVERYONE, YOU MISS SERVICE AND SO ON. LEARN HOW TO APPRECIATE GOD AND HE WILL DO MUCH MORE FOR YOU.

REASONS FOR APPRECIATION IS THAT GOD PLACED YOU IN A POSITION WHERE YOU CAN BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS. WHATEVER YOU HAVE THAT YOU THINK IS LITTLE (CLOTHING, FOOD, SHELTER,BUSINESS), A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STILL STRIVING TO GET IT. PS 100, 50:14-15, 95:2, REV 19:10, ROM 6 ALL CREATION GIVE HIM THANKS INCLUDING THE ANIMALS AND TREES. IN EVERY SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF IN AN AIRCRAT, SCHOOL, SICK BED, MARKET PLACE, ON THE TRAIN, BUS, CAR ANYWHERE, JUST GIVE HIM THANKS BECAUSE HE IS THE GIVER OF LIFE AND HE ALONE IS WORTHY.

THE EVEIL PLAN OF THE ENEMY WILL TURN AGAINST THEM IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER, HAMMAN WAS PLACED IN A HIGHER POSITION OVER THE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE JEWS. HAMAN PLANNED TO KILL THE JEWS BUT IN THE END, HIS PLAN BACK FIRED AGAINST HIM. ESTHER 3:8-11 HAMMAN PROMISED A HANDSOME REWARD TO WHO WOULD CARRY OUT THE ACTION. WHEN ESTHER LEARNT ABOUT IT, SHE DIDN’T HURRY TO THE KING RATHER SHE DECLARED A DRY FAST FOR ALL THE JEWS AND HER MAIDS TOO. ESTHER 8:1-2, 7-8 AND GOD BEGAN TO TURN THINGS AROUND FOR GOOD FOR THE JEWS. HAMMAN WAS HANGED ON THE GALLOWS HE SET FOR MORDECAI AND HIS POSITION WAS GIVEN TO MODECAI AND THE JEWS WERE SET FREE. JUDAS HUNG HIMSELF BEFORE JESUS SAUL HUNG HIMSELF BEFORE DAVID. GOD ALWAYS FIGHTS FOR HIS CHILDREN.

DO NOT PUT AN OLD WINE INTO AN OLD WINE SKIN. THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO LAY ASIDE EVERY SIN THAT SO EASILY ENTANGLES US. HEB 12:1-3. THE LOADS AND BURDENS WE CARRY ARE TO HEAVY TO TAKE US TO OUR NEXT LEVEL SO WE HAVE TO DROP THEM IN ORDER TO RUN OUR RACE PERFECTLY WELL AND GET OUR BREAKTHROUGHS. MATT 5:23-26, 29-30 REV 4:1-2, COL 3:1-17 WE HAVE TO PUT TO DEATH THE FOLLOWING EARTHLY THINGS IN ORDER TO SEE GOD. 1) HATRED 2) BITTERNESS 3) UNFORGIVENESS

4) IDOLATRY 5) SOCERY 6) UNBELIEVING FRIENDS 7) UNNECESSARY SHOPPING AND EATING 8) UNGODLY T.V PROGRAMMES 9) FORSAKING THE GATHERING OF THE SAINTS 10)NOT TITHING 11)BEING FRAUDULENT 12)MARINE SPIRIT 13)ABORTION 14)JEALOUSY 15)IDOL WORSHIP 16)SELFISHNESS 17)ANGER 18)HIPOCRACY 19)INGRATITUDE AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS OF THE FLESS THAT IS AGAINST GOD’S PRINCIPLES. NOBODY WILL TAKE A BITTER PILL OR RECIEVE INJECTION ON BEHALF OF A SICK PERSON NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE A PERSON, YOU CANNOT TAKE HIS/HER BITTER PILL WHEN HE/SHE IS ILL. PS 37:23-26 SERVING GOD IS BASED ON A PERSONAL CHOICE OR DECISION. PROV 16:1, 27:1&9. DO NOT BOAST ABOUT TOMORROW. ALWAYS ALLOW YOUR CHOICES TO BE RULED BY GOD’S PLANS SO THEY DO NOT BECOME HARMFULTO YOU. EX 20:1-11 GEN 3:9-19. DO NOT MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR PRESENT SITUATION BY REFUSING TO SERVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. ANANIAS AND SAPHIRA ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES IN THE BOOK OF ACTS IF A MAN BECOMES A HOMO TODAY, ITS HIS CHOICE AND IF A WOMAN ALSO BECOMES A LESBIAN, ITS HER CHOICE. WHATEVER YOU ARE TODAY IS AS A RESULT OF THE CHOICES YOU HAVE MADE IN LIFE. ITS GOOD TO MAKE A CHOICE BUT ITS BETTER TO STAY ON GODBY – – – – – –

OUR BOLDNESS AND FAITH WILL LEAD US TO BREAKTHROUGH WHEN WE DO NOT MIX OUR BOLNESS WITH FAITH, WE WILL NOT GET OUR DESIRED RESULTS. 2 TIM 1:7 MK5:24-34 THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD MIXED HER BOLDNESS WITH FAITH AND SHE GOT HEALED LK 8:1-8. THE WICKED JUDGE HAD TO RESPOND TO HER BOLDNESS MIXED WITH FAITH. DAN 3:13-30. THESTORY OF SHEDRACH, MESHACH & ABEDNEGO. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THROUGH THE CROWD FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH.

BELIEVERS BREAKTHROUGH WILL BRING CONFUSSION INTO THIER ENEMY’S LIFE. YOUR ENEMY IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT YOUR BREAKTHROUGH. HIS INTENTION IS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE IN BONDAGE AND NEVER TO HAVE JOY OR PEACE OF MIND. A CHILD IN HER MOTHER’S WOMB IS HATED BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT DESTINY. SO THE ENEMY TRIES TO SLOW HIS GROWTH. THE SAME GOES FOR CHILDREN OF GOD WITH GREAT PURPOSE AND DESTINY IN GOD. GEN 26:12-22, MT 13:24-29, 36-43. A MAN SOWS A SEED AND THE ENEMY COMES BEHIND TO SOW WEED AMONG THE SEED SOWN.

BELIEVERS ARE TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH GOD’S WORK. JN 14:1-27. UNTIL ALL BELIEVERS IDENTIFY THEMSELVES WITH CHRIST, IT IS MOST UNLIKELY TO HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH TO THE KNIGDOM OF GOD. JESUS SAID HE WILL BE BACK TO TAKE US HOMENWITH HIM BUT THAT IS IF HE FINDS FAITH WITH US AND HE CAN SAY WELLDONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

MT 25:14-30 PARABLE OF THE TALENTS. THIS STORY TEACHES US TO USE THE GIFTS WE HAVE BEEN ENDOWED WITH TO ENRICH THE KINGDOM BY USING IT TO SERVE OTHERS AND EXPANDING THE KINGDOM. WE MUST ALSO BE PREPARED FOR THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD AND MASTER. IF YOU WERE TO EMBARK ON A JOURNEY, YOU HAVE TO PREPARE PROPERLY FOR THAT JOURNEY, MAKING SURE YOUR TICKET IS READY, IF ITS INTERNATIONAL, YOU HAVE TO GET THE NECESSARY VISA TO ENTER THAT COUNTRY WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT, YOU SHOULD HAVE MONEY IN THAT COUNTRY’S CURRENCY TO SPEND, YOU SHOULD HAVE THE NECESSARY THINGS TO USE IN YOUR LUGGAGE AND SO ON. IF THESE NECESSARY THINGS ARE NOT READY, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED TO TRAVEL OR REFUSED TO ENTER THAT COUNTRY. THIS IS THE SAME PRINCIPLE THAT CHRIST WILL USE WHEN HE RETURNS AS THE MASTER WHO SHARED THE TALENTS CAME BACK AND REQUESTED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. JESUS SAID, WHEN I COME, WILL I STILL FIND FAITH ON EARTH? IDENTIFY WITH GOD’S WORK.

WHAT IS DILIVERANCE? IT IS THE UNIQUE POWER OF GOD TO SET PEOPLE IN BONDAGE AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HELD CAPIVEBY THE DEVIL FREE. EXAMPLE; – – – – –

WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM –

COMMITMENT: CHALLENGES ARE A PART OF RELATIONSHIPS BUT THERE HAS TO BE COMMITMENT ON BOTH PARTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUES OF TRUST, LOVE, STRENGTH, POWER, WISDOM, ETC. A COUPLE HAVE GOT TO STRUGGLE THROUGH THE THICK AND THIN.

–

CONSIDERATION: YOU SHOULD NOT SEEK YOUR OWN. DO NOT BE SELFISH.

–

CLEARITY: THERE MUST BE A VISION AND A DIRECTION AS TO THE WAY FORWARD FOR THE TEAM. THEY MUST DREAM TOGETHER.

–

COMMUNICATION: THERE MUST BE CONSTANT COMMUNICATION IN EVERY SITUATION. IT’S FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE TILL DEATH KNOCKS AT THE DOOR. COMMUNICATION IS THE LIFE WIRE OF ANY GOOD RELATIONSHIP.

–

CO – ORDINATION: YOU MUST BOTH MAP OUT YOUR OWN STRATEGIES ON HOW TO WORK TOGETHER THAT WILL BE PLEASING TO BOTH OF YOU.

START TO DO HIS WILL TODAY, TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE. ECCL 3:1-12 .TIME IS VERY ESSENTIAL IN OUR WORK WITH GOD. THERE IS TIME FOR EVERYTHING.GOD WORKS IN TIMES AND SEASONS. YOU MUST IDENTIFY GOD’S TIMING IN YOUR LIFE AND MAKE USE OF IT WISELY. SHOW ME A TIME CONSCIOUS PERSON AND I WILL SHOW YOU A SUCCESSFUL PERSON. WE MUST LEARN HOW TO MANAGE OUR TIME PROPERLY AS INDIVIDUALS, FOR OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES: BATHING, EATING, LISTENING TO NEWS, WORKING, SOCIALISING, ETC.

AND AS PEOPLE OF GOD, OUR GODLY ACTIVITIES: PRAYING, STUDYING, WINNING SOULS, WORSHIPING, FASTING, DEVELOPING YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS, VISITATION, CHURCH ACTIVITIES ETC. MT 6:25-33 WE WILL STAND BEFORE GOD ONE DAY AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR TIME HERE ON EARTH.

TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE. 1 SAM15:16-22, 22-24, 35 SAUL DISOBEYED THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM GOD BY SAMUEL. IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU WILL NOT DISOBEY HIM. 1JN 2:3-7 JONAH DISOBEYED PEOPLE OF SODOM & GOMORRAH MOSES DISOBEYED ANANIAS & SAPHIRA DISOBEYED ACTS 5:1-10, GEN 19: 26, EZEK 20:11-13, EVERYONE WHO DISOBEYS ALWAYS GETS A PUNISHMENT AS A REWARD.

WHAT KIND OF SOIL ARE YOU? JESUS IS THE FERTILIZER. THE HERT THAT HEARS HIS WORD AND KEEPS IT IS THE GOOD SOIL THAT PRODUCES HARVESTABLE CROPS. MK 4:12-20, LK 8:9-15, MT13:36-43. ALWAYS KEEP TO HIS WORD IN ORDER TO REMAIN A GOOD SOIL. E.G, JOSEPH, ABRAHAM & SARAH, JACOB, ISSAC, REBECCA, DANIEL,DAVID, ETC WHEN A WORD IS SPOKEN INTO YOUR LIFE, JUST WAIT PATIENTLY FOR IT...
