TOPIC :  GOD WILL SORT THEM OUT

TEXT  ISAIAH 49:26.

"And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

There are times when we are in the waters of life.

Overwhelmed by troubles and taunted by the your oppressor.

At times like this, it begins to look as if the enemy has received a legal certificate to buffet you.

Beloved, no matter what you face, realize that God is for you.

He has sworn that He will never leave nor forsake you.

He will soon sort them out.

Beloved, even if your pains are the result of your error, our God is faithful to His word.

He has declared that He will decimate your enemies and feed them with their own flesh.

I trust the scriptures, they never fail.

God will fight this present battle and you will have your rest.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.

May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 

Your Victory is already guaranteed

 TOPIC :  GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL

TEXT    LUKE 5:1-6

[1]And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

[2]And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

[3]And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

[4]Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

[5]And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

[6]And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

Like Peter, many have started washing their nets with disappoinment.

Many have given up on the year, but God is not done with you yet.

God can start a miracle that the next ten years of your life cannot contain.

Jesus told peter to do exactly the same thing he had done and failed but this time around, it turned out a huge success.

Beloved, a net breaking catch is on your way in Jesus mighty name.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

TOPIC :  GOD WILL NEVER STAND AGAINST YOU

TEXT :HEBREWS 13:5-6

" Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."

Beloved, there are situations that you go through and you definitely begin to believe that God is against you.

Satan pushes you to remember all your passed sins and errors and convinces you that God is judging you because of them.

When this begins to happen, remind Satan that God does not keep achieves of forgiven sins.

Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they failed God, yet God was out in garden in the quiet of the day, searching for them.

When they said they were naked, He slaughtered an animal and made a covering for them.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.

The world here refers to the world of men.

He who did not spare His only begotten son, is there anything He would withhold from us?

Trust God, fight the good fight of faith, God is on your side.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.

TOPIC : YOU CAN DO IT

TEXT : 2 SAMUEL 23:15-16.

 "And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD."

It is time to begin to see only possibilities.

If men would risk their lives and cross over to the enemy side to fetch water for their king, there is nothing that you cannot do.

It was a life threatening risk that they took.

David took a risk with his life to end the reign of terror from the giant harassing Israel.

It's time to end the excuses, can you see that those things that you thought that no one could do, many people have ventured it and are succeeding.

Beloved, the only thing you need is hunger.

If your hunger for what you longed for is very strong, you would soon win.

The King was thirsty, that was why he got the water of Bethlehem.

What are you hungry for?

Keep on developing your hunger, very soon, it will drive you to achieve the impossible.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

TOPIC : THE PASTOR'S BURDEN

TEXT : PHILIPPIANS 2:26-28

 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful."

Epaphroditus a coworker and son to apostle Paul was terribly sick.

When he was finally restored, Paul said that his restoration was  more of a gift of Mercy to him.

Why did Paul say that?

Because the leader is the biggest looser in the event of any loss.

The loss of a team member is something that many pastors do not fully survive.

They may look as if they have survived, but they often still need healing.

They are often seen as having not done enough to prevent the occurrence.

While they weep inside, they pretend to be strong outside.

Some of their members who should comfort them even abandon them at such tragic moments.

Recently our nation lost a great man with his wife and son.

His father has been a pastor for decades.

He had worked with the General overseer for many years.

Beloved, I can assure you that it is not only that family that is mourning.

The General overseer is mourning and in serious pains.

Pray for your pastors, you may not know what they are going through.

Some of them are practically crawling out of pains of broken hearts and abandonments.

As God to restore and heal your pastors, they are after all vessels in earthen clay.

God bless you.

TOPIC : HEAVEN'S BURDEN BEARERS

TEXT : 2 TIMOTHY 4 :  10 - 11

10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

These were the words of apostle Paul at a very difficult time in his ministerial life.

He said, " Demas has forsaken me" meaning that Demas has deserted him.

He said that Demas deserted him for the love of this present world and it's vanishing nature.

But in verse ten apostle paul said, but Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you for he is very profitable in ministry.

ARE YOU A BURDEN  OR ARE YOU A BURDEN BEARER?

ARE YOU PROFITABLE OR PROBLEMATIC.

WOULD YOUR PASTOR BE ABLE TO SAY, THIS ONE IS PROFITABLE FOR ME, FOR MINISTRY.

If you are not lifting his burden, you are adding to his burden.

Remember, every child of God is called to be a burden lifter to his pastor.

If you are doing nothing to help your pastor, you are doing nothing to help God.

How does your pastor feel when he remembers you?

Does he feel pleasured or pained?

It's not too late to change.

When you start to bear kingdom burdens, the list of your problems goes on a reduction mode.

Beloved , diligently begin to search until you locate your area for service for the resurrected Jesus.

God bless you.

TEXT 2 SAMUEL 9:6-7

TOPIC : YOU ARE BEING POSITIONED FOR THE CENTER STAGE

" Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!

And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually."

Mephibosheth was forgotten in Lodebar, a land of the forsaken.

He was mocked and laughed at, they believed that nothing good would come out of his life.

They had concluded on his destiny, he was finished they thought.

That's how it is with many of the people around you, they conclude so quickly.

They do not understand that when it has to do with a child of God, no human arithmetic can compute it correctly.

King David said to Mephibosheth, from now, you will be eating at the kings table.

Someone out there is changing position for good, I think that you are the one.

God bless you.

 "Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these."

"And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. *And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither."

And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he."

Beloved, if you would agree to serve the Lord, you would never miss the center stage.

Everything had to wait for David, a little Sheppard boy to be enthroned.

In the same way, many things are being suspended for you to be positioned.

Uzziah, a little boy of sixteen years became king, as long as he sought the Lord, Uzziah was prosperous.

He created wonders in technology, agriculture and armaments.

If you would dare seek God, you would be shocked at where God would position you, it will definitely be at the center stage.

TEXT 1 PETER 4: 12-13

TOPIC : BECOMING STRONG THROUGH ADVERSITIES.

[12]Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

[13]But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Adversity is simply a difficult or painful situation.

Beloved in this world difficult and painful situations do occur, sometimes even to good people.

The bible talks about a day of adversity, a day when Satan pays you a visit.

That day happens once in a while to different people but surely they do occur.

In Proverbs 24:10, the bible encourages you to stand firm on our day of adversity.

"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small."

We have different types of adversities, it could come as a major failure, loss of a job, a precious property, a valued relationship or even a loved one.

These attacks are ochestrated by hell to test your confidence in your God.

They are arranged to know how rooted your trust is in God.

These attacks are not from God, they are made to look as if they are from our God.

Beloved, no matter how hell packages the adversity, ensure that it does not drive you away from God.

God is the only one that can help you in times of trouble.

The hopes and  plans of Satan will be achieved once the adversity succeeds in driving you away from your only true helper, God.

I pray for you, that God will strengthen you in your periods of adversity.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.

 THIS SET BACK WILL WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

  "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."

Beloved, God has only one plan for us.

He called it a good plan.

That plan is intended to give us a future and  our expectations.

It may not always go in a straight forward way, the reason is because we are in a war.

The enemy of our God will certainly continue to wage war against His kids.

The good news here is that God did not abandon you in the ring with the ancient devil.

He promised that He will never leave nor forsake you.

He called you more than conqueror because no matter the enemies strategy, the victory is your.

Our Daddy finally declared that all things will work together for our good.

Your future is surely not in the hand of Satan.

You are a winner always,hallelujah.

THAT SET BACK IS FOR A BOUNCE BACK

'But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. "

The graph 📉 of life is not a straight line.

There are some ups and downs.

These downs are not meant to put you down.

They are pull backs for more powerful bounce backs.

The story of Ruth was full of set backs, but she never remained at any of those painful positions.

She kept on pushing until her glorious day.

THE GREATER ONE LIVES IN YOU.

‭

"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."

Beloved, you have enough power in you to tame any situation that Satan will confront you with throughout your lifetime.

God demonstrated the highest dimension of power when He raised Jesus from the dead.

The power generated to achieve this feat was enormous and mind burgling.

I was so shocked the day I saw in the scriptures that this dimension of power could be housed in a human body.

Our anchor scriptures says, " But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."

What the Holy Spirit is saying is that you are a moving power house.

That if the spirit of that one that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He declared that that spirit will tame any battle that rises up in your life, Glory!

The good news is that you have received the Holy Spirit so that power lives inside of you.

This month, "No gree for any spiritual intimidation".

God bless you.

YOU ARE BORN TO OVERCOME

      

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

Beloved, when you are born of God, you are a world overcomer.

Overcometh is a present continuous tense.

It means that you are constantly overcoming.

In the first Adam, whatever runs in the family, runs down, the same way in the second Adam, whatever runs in the family runs down also.

The second Adam is a life giving spirit so whatever runs in Him, runs in you.

We are a family of winners, we don't lose in anything.

We are not redeemed to fail, no way, our father is a winner and we carry His DNA.

Generational curses of my former family cannot limit me, I am no longer in that family, I am born of God.

TEXT COLOSSIANS 3:1-3

RISEN TO KEEP RISING

  

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."

Christ arose so you can rise and keep rising.

Jesse Christ fought a vicious battle in hell for two days.

It was the final battle for our salvation.

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it(Colossians 2:15).

He made a public show of their defeat and made us to sit together in Him in heavenly places.

Where we are positioned, we can only rise.

Our rising is the result of what He has done for us, it's not about what we can do for ourselves.

Satan and his cohorts have already made that error, it cannot be reversed.

Had they known that the cross was a portal  for the production of millions and billions of sons of God on the earth, they wouldn't have brought Jesus near it.

Satan surely is not omniscience, only God is.

Child of God, fear not, we are in charge because our Lord is risen.

Happy Easter.
