How much pain do you bear for Him?


Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of the Most High God. I congratulate you for His Grace that confirmed/conformed you to the image of His Son so we can be first born among many brethren. Romans 8: 29

Within the time left to bear His image, how much of it have you successfully worn? Have you become an ocean that will not receive the dew drop or drops of the rain water? Or are you filled with pride to such an extent that you consider yourself to be beyond teaching?

What pain can you bear for Christ in humility? How much of His love can you show for things to work together for good to those who claimed to love God like you do?

Christ bore the guilt of our sins. He chose to die even though He was blameless so that we can live according to His purpose and by so doing to continue to have access to His Grace.

Are you living a life that makes His efforts to be in vain? Remember, the examples were set for us so that we can continue to do likewise, although for His sake but you will find out that it has so much to do with our own gains.

Lord we pray for our lives to be transformed so that our wills and desires will not run contrary to the images of firstborn among many brethren You gave us in Your name. Amen

Mere dust called to glory, but

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends and welcome to another glory of God. We are already part of the glory but He went further by giving us an open invitation to share in its success, image and fruitfulness when He created us in His likelihood.

In return, all He ever wanted is for all to praise Him for this opportunity. But how much of His genes do you carry? How much of His Praise do you give? Don't we walk around like God with the little success we have instead of giving those glory back to Him?

Beware and know that it is the beginning of limitations we experience as human. Can a clay know more than the potter?

Begin to glorify Him today, show you are nothing before His Supremacy and begin to see everything turning around in your favour.

And so shall it be. Do have a delightful day ahead in Jesus name. Amen

Search me oh God

Testimony Time:-Good morning brethren in Christ and welcome to His providence.
Today's Testimony Time relates to lyrics from James E Orr. Please digest by reading or singing along as you invite the Lord into your presence today:-

Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy word and make me pure within;
Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.

Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.

O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.

May the power associated with the creation of heaven and earth search each of our needs and redeem us from their tendencies in Jesus name. Amen

Life is a gift but how real is your gift?

Testimony Time:-This touched me, please read to the end. I do hope we can all learn from the message. So sorry I have to say good morning in this manner. I have to edit the true nature of the message before sharing.

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her,’ Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who died too young.
Before you complain about your children -
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another -
Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one MAKER.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you're alive and still around.
And before you think of signing out, know that life is a complete cycle which began in heaven and must surely end in heaven.

Lord we pray for the spirit of gratitude and perseverance. Let us know that when things are not great, we must not be overwhelmed with any thought of abandonment but to believe that You can still raise us up from the dust. Just like Joseph, from pit to prison and then to palace. Amen

Unquestionable God

Testimony Time:- Good morning once again, it is the beginning of another day. For as long as night rolls into a new dawn there will always be a new day to celebrate to those who the Lord decides to keep.
There is also something unique about the Lord we serve, He is full of surprises to those who waits patiently for His Promises.
Are you in a rush? Do you question His abilities? Are you considered a finished product or a dead duck? Please note, with God there are no limitations. Often He comes in different guises to confuse the enemies and your stories will change just like Joseph in Genesis 37.
All limitations in our journeys will cease from today and we will begin to experience His fullness in Jesus name. Amen

November bliss

Testimony Time:-Good evening Children of God and welcome to another day in a new month.

I congratulate you all for the privileges bestowed upon us and He will continue to do a new thing in our lives in Jesus name. Amen
The month may be new; the Lord has already started a new thing upon our lives.

 He searched our hearts and decided to put a new song in our mouth. All to His glory and within the confines of His Presence. Surely those who wait unto the Lord will always reach their destination.

Lord we ask that you will preserve your new joy in us and also overwhelm us with your greatness in Jesus name. Amen

Still questioning the Lord?

Testimony Time:- Good morning once again, it is the beginning of another day. For as long as night rolls into a new dawn there will always be a new day to celebrate to those who the Lord decides to keep.

There is also something unique about the Lord we serve, He is full of surprises to those who waits patiently for His Promises.
Are you in a rush? Do you question His abilities?Are you considered a good for nothing or a dead duck? Please note, with God there are no limitations. Often He comes in different guises to confuse the enemies and your stories will change just like Joseph in Genesis 37

All limitations in our journeys will cease from today and we will begin to experience His fullness in Jesus name. Amen

Search me God, you already knew my heart...

Testimony Time:-Good evening Children of God and welcome to another day in a new month.
I congratulate you all for the privileges bestowed upon us and He will continue to do a new thing in our lives in Jesus name. Amen
The month may be new, the Lord has already started a new thing upon our lives. He searched our hearts and decided to put a new song in our mouth. All to His glory and within the confines of His Presence. Surely those who wait unto the Lord will always reach their destination.
Lord we ask that you will preserve your new joy in us and also overwhelm us with your greatness in Jesus name. Amen

Titus versus Crete, you choose!

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends and welcome to His transformation.

Paul in the Book of Titus encourages those who have believed in God should also be careful to maintain good works. This is so because we live to earn our salvation, as a result what we exhibit as actions matter. This is because Salvation in itself is not conferred as a title nor by any means automatically achievable.

Crete according to Titus was synonymous to troubles and Titus was willing to serve in the place to bring strength and vitality without promoting his own agenda.
How much of divine service are you willing to give unto Christ? Do remember that causing trouble is the only knowledge you don't acquire in the university.

Lord we ask that you will initiate us constantly with your Spirit like you did unto Titus. Give us the ability to add strength, vigour and vitality to your Church instead of causing trouble to dent your image. Amen

Trouble Shooting for Christ?

Testimony Time:-Good day to you all and welcome to another means of expressing what the Ministry of Jesus Christ entails.

Christ Ministries requires trouble shooters to assist in edifying His name by way of preaching, counselling, and charity and prophesy through His Grace.
Are you a divine trouble shooter putting out fires in Christ Ministries or one that causes fire in the House of God?

Life in itself is described as troublesome in Job 14:14. Do you still consummate trouble in your spiritual DNA with your soul hungry and thirsty without the fullness of Christ in them? Psalm 107: 4-5
In the Book of Genesis, God set out from the onset and described the differences between good and bad and the profits attached to them.

By the same token, I will advise you to be a divine trouble shooter for Christ, be a problem solver and not part of the problem.

Lord God of mercy, make us your own and allow us to work for the redemption of our souls in Jesus name. Amen

Where is the power?

A message worth sharing but also amended from a Christian Conference. Just to serve as your afternoon delight-
Where is The Power?
Acts 4:1-8 
When you are filled with the Holy Ghost you should have a desire to see people saved. If not, your filling is questionable.
John 16:14
The Holy Ghost isn't busy. The Holy Ghost isn't studying at the university. The Holy Spirit is not by word of mouth or using the ephemeral spirit.
You should not come to worship for others because of the spirit but rather because the Holy Spirit is inside you.
John 15:26
Why are you not a witness? The Holy Spirit inspires us to do this and that is why Elisha asked for the double portion of the spirit that was bestowed upon Elijah so He can become a witness unto the Ministry of Christ.
In the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is the most neglected and also abused when many can claim they are led by the spirit when they are not. The bible says without the Spirit men are like an empty carcass and to lie under the guise of the spirit often leads to destruction in the end.
Romans 8:26
You are mastered by a stronger law when you get filled with the Holy Spirit.
When we compare ourselves to the New Testament church, we look like we are backsliding.
The bible says let no corrupt communication come out of your mouth.
The Holy Ghost is not an option or an accessory but a necessity.
You need a fresh filling of the Spirit everyday. Even before Jesus started the ministry, He went and got filled with the Holy Spirit.
Just wanting you all to check in into His Presence...

A roadside Christian?

Testimony Time:-Good morning to the Chosen Ones of Christ and welcome to His Grace.
As bright as the day may be, please remember we are walking towards the end of the journey in the world where simply truth has been slaughtered.

It does not matter where you are. Whether in a church, home or a work place, except you become a branch of His righteousness, salvation is at stake. Jeremiah 23:5

Are you His Branch, a makeshift branch or simply a road side Christian? Hypocrisy in worship will not make your prayer go far but your rightful stewardship in His Presence.

Lord as we claim to be a branch unto Thee, do make us a rightful branch so that through us many can come to testify unto Your Greatness. Amen

Love is stronger than death

Testimony Time:-Good morning to you all and welcome to another Love of Christ who died so that we can live and have the eternal Kingdom as our rewards.

Do you know that love is stronger than death, stronger than any grave or sins? Such was the Love Christ had for us to have laid His life down for humanity.

By so doing, Christ ensures He will continue to live forever in our hearts based upon the love we have for each other. (Song of Solomon 8:6) "Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; its flashes are flashes of fire. The very flame of the LORD".

Love is of God, guide it jealously, jealousy can be divine and can also quench the Love of Christ if it comes out of despise, eschew the tendencies.

God we beseech You to give us the grace to understand and experience the power behind your love through which You will continue live in our hearts in Jesus name. Amen

Appraise your style!

Testimony Time:-Good morning again and welcome to another testimony of God over the gift of another week.
Please tread carefully, knowing that your strides are already overwhelmed with the battle of styles between what is of God and that of Satan.
Who are you going to play for this new week? You may pretend not to know but it is the battle of styles that holds the fulcrum of every lives.
Are you going to allow your style which encompasses your thoughts, deeds, beliefs, faith and worship to fade and then be encamped with the styles noted mainly for Satan?
You have your life in your hands, therefore the onus is on you to appraise your style and ensure it matches the Lord's.
Lord as we choose to follow you today, let our styles be fit for the purpose of our creation so that your glory will shine upon us according to your covenant. Amen

Are you stylish in your worship of Him

Testimony Time:-Good morning Christ Beloved, it is another time in His Presence. The time may have been moved up or down by the human knowledge, it has no bearing on the original time given unto us by God.

Out of all the time we have enjoyed through the popular claim "I am a born again" we should be worshiping Him stylishly.

In the depth of your knowledge, what you have seen, heard known and believe about Him, are you that close to His dictate?

Today is another time to make amends, do so stylishly in His Presence. It makes sense and the world would be a better place.

Lord we pray that upon what we have learnt about You, we will exhibit such standard in order to worship You stylishly. Amen
