LIFE

​What is LIFE*?

To understand life better, you have to go to 3 locations :
*1. Hospital*

*2. Prison* 

*3. Cemetery*
🏥 At the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than HEALTH.
🔐 In the Prison, you’ll see that FREEDOM is the most precious thing.
💐 At the Cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground that we walk today will be our roof tomorrow.
*Sad Truth* :  We all come with *Nothing* and we will go with *Nothing* … Let us, therefore, remain humble and be thankful & grateful to God at all times for everything. Michael Jackson died few years ago they call him late Jackson; Yaradua died few years ago they call him late Yaradua; Mandela died few years ago they call him late Mandela, But since 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ  died and no body not even the devil called him late Christ .. Glory be to God in the highest !.He lives!!! He reigns!!!!! He rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. 

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Is this you ? Do you fall in this category?

Romans 1:28-32

 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they  are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

🙏 Could you please share this with someone else, and let them know that God loves them?

HEAR MY CRY OH LORD.

“I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord , do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord , the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way. Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is  devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread, For Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness. Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord — Your salvation according to Your word. So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in Your ordinances. So shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I love, And I will meditate on Your statutes. Remember the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life. The proud have me in great derision, Yet I do not turn aside from Your law. I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord , And have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold of me Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law. Your statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. I remember Your name in the night, O Lord , And I keep Your law. This has become mine, Because I kept Your precepts. You  are my portion, O Lord ; I have said that I would keep Your words. I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word. I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments. The cords of the wicked have bound me, But I have not forgotten Your law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments”,[Psalms 119:31‭-‬62]

1. My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 

2. That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 

3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 

4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 

5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 

6. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. 

7. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 

8. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 

9. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 

10. Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 

11. And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 

12. And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 

13. And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! 

14. I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. 

15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 

16. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 

17. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee. 

18. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 

19. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 

20. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 

21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. 

22. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. 

23. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

ONLY  GOD’S WAY WORKS

Go God’s Way

Isaiah 55:8-9

 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts  than your thoughts. 

Proverb 3:6 

In all of your ways acknowledge Him (God), and He shall direct your paths. 

•One idea from God is greater than ten thousand ideas from genius men and women. 

•Always go with God’s wisdom in every situation. God is never wrong. 

•Only God’s wisdom can guarantee the results you are looking for and then some. 

•God doesn’t just only answer your questions. He also solves your problems. Go God’s way. 

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you”, {Philippians 4:6‭-‬9}.

GODLY PEACE  WILL MAKE YOU THANKFUL  

“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must  do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful”, {Colossians 3:12‭-‬15}.

DIVINE ABILITY 

​”Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that  is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you “;[2 Peter 1:2‭-‬13 ]

Get to your problems before your problems get to you, and know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper in The Almighty Name of The Lord Jesus Christ!!!

+Problems come to defy (challenge) us, not to define us, or destroy us, but they will expose us. 

+Problems are not of God. The enemy, ignorance and stubbornness causes problems. 

+Whatever the cause may be God is always Merciful and Gracious unto us. 

Romans 8:28 

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called  according to his purpose. 

+Christ is our Wisdom when it comes to resolving problems. Just do what the Lord said to do in HIS WORD and HE will do the rest. 

+And as for the enemy, he is a none-factor. He has been, still is and will always be a defeated enemy. 

+Remember to get the problem before the problem gets to you. 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!

DON’T  COMPROMISE  

“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26).

“This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness”{Ephesians  4:17-24}.

LISTEN  :

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they  are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them”; [Romans 1:18‭-‬32].

SOLUTION:

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded”[James 4:7‭-‬8].

THEREFORE:

“let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one  another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching”;[Hebrews 10:22‭-‬25].

FREEDOM

WHY WORRY

​DON’T WORRY;stop worrying 

Matthew 6:25-34 

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?  Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;  and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

HOW TO COMBAT WORRY, FEAR,DOUBT,ETC.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even so we are Christ’s”{ 2 Corinthians 10:3‭-‬7}

OUR GOD GIVEN AUTHORITY AND POWER.

Authority -vs- Power, The Difference 

Luke 10:19 (AMP)

Behold! I have given unto you AUTHORITY and POWER to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in anyway harm you. 

AUTHORITY: Spiritual Rights delegated to us by God to make decisions, give orders, and to enforce obedience. 

POWER: Supernatural, Spiritual Strength and Ability to do and to carry out the work of the Lord. 

+God is Unlimited and Infinite in Power and Authority. 

+The degree of our God given Authority and Power always corresponds to the level of maturity we demonstrate in Love, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness and Faith in God.

+God is not holding back His Authority and Power from us. 

+Let us do those things that are always pleasing to the Father so that His Authority and Power (the Holy Spirit’s Anointing) can be released and increased upon us for the work of His Ministry. 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
