The story of One day

Testimony Time:-Good afternoon and welcome to another day in the presence of the Lord. The key thing today is, one day is enough to make the change you have always promised yourself and you don't need to look any further. The day may have proven to be elusive in nature to many, please know that once you have it in your possession, it can create opportunities whereby you can begin to amend, reshape, restart, revive and re ignite the passion God built in you and then begin to walk towards where He wants you to be. So where are you presently? Are you walking righteously before the Lord? Or are you still waiting for another day before you can make the important decision and then begin to walk with God? How many days do you think you have left? Remember, everything in life depends so much on the story of one day. Therefore make today count in your favor. Let it be a blessing so you can shine in it. Do decide to make it a day worthy to be remembered, even when you ceases to be part of it. The story of each life also starts and ends with one day. And so is the story of the intervals between the start and the end of each life. May we have the grace to spend each day wisely so that the stories of our life surrounded by each day will be counted as gain for us in the Kingdom of God. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Love cannot be redifined

Testimony Time:-A very good day to you all and welcome to another week in the month of August. It is a very rare privilege to be alive today among the equals. It is also a good time to reiterate that loving each other as Christ loved us would go a long way to satisfy one of the commandments of God. In considering love this morning - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 comes to mind- "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away". The amazing thing is, this passage does not qualify or prescribe such love to a specific person or group of persons, but to all without any discrimination. If you have been showing love mainly to those in your household and then find a way to denounce others (vice/versa), you are likely to be one of those who tolerates pest like cockroaches, mouse and wall geckos in your homes but exhibits a very high degree of intolerance towards your fellow man. Love and respect goes together and both has to be given unconditionally according to Paul in this Book of 1 Corinthians 13. The failure on our part to go through this simple process can only bring tears, which many are capable to share from. Therefore, we pray for your help O God, we beseech You to give us the Spirit to love ourselves genuinely according to Your Word in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Breakfast with Christ

Testimony Time:-Good morning to everyone in the house and it is another welcome to Breakfast based upon the Words of God. But is it not the case that we are very quick to call ourselves Christians? Are we not proud to wear colorful robes denoting us as men and women of God? What about titles? Those titles we answer to which brings honor in high places, signifying where we sit and what treatment we are accorded with. Have you been paid rather unduly as men and women of God where you only represent yourself? Do you know if you have failed the criteria for those who were genuinely called. If you do, have you been pretending to be one, thereby deceiving people as you go on empty tank in the spiritual domain? Being in Christ means you have been restored and that should have replaced spiritual death to spiritual life because you are now dead to sins (Romans 6:11). In order words, you must grow daily in your quality of life as a Child of God because God continues to perfect His Work which He began in us at salvation (Joel 2:28) May the joy of today link us to His Grace and perfect all that concerns us in the Spiritual Realm. Amen Just checking into His Presence...

Proverbs 16: 23-33 examines

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends and welcome to another opportunity to please the Lord. If we constantly commit our way unto the Lord in prayer, if we walk with Him, seeking His guidance and then obey His Word, opportunities that open and shut doors will be controlled by God through people's decision about us. And they are summed up in the Holy Bible. Proverbs 16: 23-33 throws light on the argument- 23" The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. 24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. 27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. 28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. 31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord." Every particular verse has meaning which are very compelling. They relate to the way we conduct ourselves including our tongue, owing to the conflict we cause through gossips capable of tearing friends apart. Your thoughts represent the way to your God. It determines what favor you receive from God, also through men. May we be cleansed spiritually in our heart so that we can experience the blessings of the Lord first hand. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

His Endless Love

Testimony Time:- A very good day to you all as we welcome a new day in the history of life. It is very possible that we don't know that our help resides in His Holy name and that is because God loves us very endlessly. Today, I want to charge everyone to be the agents of His love as we carry on in His presence. Let His grace hold us in His hands and keeps us all on His sight without any deviation, so that we can continue to receive His love and Spirit. As Usual, I want to welcome you to another Lord's table today, I would like to remind you that His body was broken so that we can be made whole and He became accursed so that we can enter into a perfect relationship with Him. At the brake of this new day, we have all come to God living within the grace of the harvest of our previous sowing. Let us therefore see everyday as a seed in our relationship with Him. Set your mind to recognize the Lord's mercy and begin to live a life that is full of peace and joy and your weapon of choice should be love. May the Lord bless us with His presence today and always. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Thursday 20 August 2015

Heart of worship?

Testimony Time:-Good afternoon and welcome to another acceptable day of the Lord. You may have the day in your possession but do you have with it a heart of worship? I present to you Revelation 14:7 "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters". Through your spirit of worship, can you answer just as we have in Revelation 7:14? Which says "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb" Having a heart of worship depends so much on the above provisions and without saying, your response too determines who you are when it comes to apportioning His overwhelming Grace. What you put in is what you get! We beseech You God to erase the spirit that "journey" away from your Grace in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Another promise

Testimony Time:-Good morning and welcome to another Promise of God. Whatever end you may have come across the day, please be rest assured that you cannot exonerate the numerous blessings God promised would be that of the Israelites, if indeed they carefully obey and follow His Commandments. (Deuteronomy 28:1) So, how have you started your day and at what point did you come on board? Are you still in a state of disbelief to the clarities within the instructions of the Lord or are you just a risk taker? Surely, there are provisions for those who flagrantly disobey the injunctions of the Lord. And undoubtedly, this pattern invites fear into their ways because of the repercussions which are necessarily attached to fear. Fear, again and without saying reduces the potency in faith as it clearly state the complete opposite of what the Words of the Lord stands for. (Proverbs 29:25) Today, I encourage you to seek the Lord so you can stay alive in this world and beyond (Deuteronomy 4:4). Going after the mundane things of this world invariably brings conflicts in all our ways thereby causing confusion which sends erring member to the cross roads and then point of no return. The Grace of God will cast off all desires that sends us to the path of unwanted cross roads, His Power will realign our position with Him so that we will faithfully desire His attributes in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

An encounter with Christ.

Testimony Time:-Good morning and welcome to a new beginning. I do know it is rather too early today as I looked at the time, it is 00:55. For some reasons I could not sleep and quite simply, I got the inspiration to write and declare the Greatness of the Lord at this unsocial hour. And unless you read to the end, you will not be able to share in the experience of my personal encounter with God. What you may learn from this story can rebuild your relationship with God, and that is if indeed it had been faltering. You must also note that the whole experience stems from a very queer fire incident that engulfed the Church earlier on in March 2015 when Satan thought it was all over for us. An experience I do not wish for any of my adversaries, if any! And so earlier on yesterday (17/08/15) at 12:24pm I received an anonymous text which reads- "Good morning my Father in the Lord. I recently heard about the fire incident in your church and saw some of the photos from your harvest programme. I was greatly moved and the Holy Spirit laid it in my heart that me and my family should contribute to the re-building of the church and musical instruments. Can you send me account details that me and my family can contribute to. God bless and uphold you and His Church. Yours Sincerely- A Fellow Brethren in Christ." Shocked about the anonymity but very sure of what the Lord has done since the fire incident. Raising unsolicited support where I could never have imagined, thereby rebuilding His Temple by turning all ashes to beauty-without any levy on the parishioners, albeit with little or no fuss at all. My response one hour later when I came across the message was-"Waoh! I can only shout Halleluyah because this is another Testimony unto the Lord. I pray for the mercies of the Lord upon you and yours. For this text alone, you have received your breakthrough and even your greatness shall be multiplied beyond limitations for every seed sown in Jesus name. Amen (details of the account removed lest the Testimony be misconstrued) And at 14:18, this followed- Amen in Christ's name. Our covenant has now been paid into the accnt. God bless. Amen. Stunned and very grateful to God for this uncommon favor, I wrote- "Waoh! To God be the glory and I rejoice with the name of the Lord uppermost in my heart for the gifts of His blessings through you with the level of affection, considerations and love you showed to us. As a Parish, you have displayed and taught us what the Lord is capable of doing in our midst, and that is if we faint not. Today's gesture has also become part of our testimonies. We therefore give glory to God for the privileges He extended to you by putting you in a position to help us where help is greatly needed. I pray through the power of His Grace that you will be progressive and shall continue to multiply. You will live long to reap the fruits of your labour. Amen On behalf of Christ Royal Parish, I say a very big thank you to you and your family for your help at this time. It means a lot to us. May the Lord bless you all. Amen The mystery for the time being was concluded with this short reply from the donor- "Amen and Thank you for your prayers. As a matter of choice, I have no access to the account and so I had to wait for the Secretary to furnish me the details of the account. That did not occur until 23:21 after the youth meeting and the figures beggars belief. A deposit of £1000:00 was credited to the church account and the donor wanted it so much to be anonymous. It sets my mind ablaze and that is to remind me about how great God can choose to be to those who are prepared to walk Him, work with Him and also diligently serve Him. For this reasons I cannot sleep and so I implore all those who come into contact with this message to pray for this family who the Lord have used anonymously to support us at this austere times. Please include all Church members and those who have rendered their unsolicited support in order for us to be able to rebuild The Church of God in no time. I can categorically say the support had been immense, unprecedented and by our standard, unrivaled! I conclude by saying the Lord at work in the life of the Parish will transform your lives, rebuild your hope in Him where you may be nursing doubts and engrave Himself in your ways so that the fire of the evil one will not burn you in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Enriching your souls with Christ brings prosperity

Testimony Time:-Happy New Week to everyone and welcome to another invincible presence of the Lord's mercy. God wants the best for everyone as much as we all want to succeed in life. Without saying, God also wants the prosperity of our souls that brings about very good quality to our inner self. This invariably comes under dedication and commitment to fruits of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 These process undoubtedly brings about divine prosperity which is not momentary in itself but can still be experienced both in the physical and the spiritual realm. Therefore, in understanding the newness of the Grace God, albeit forever renewed daily, we must also note that what goes with His Special Grace is spiritual warfare which constantly work against the souls of men and women. Occasions will therefore arise where blessings meant for the Children of God may be hindered where steadfastness to His Holy name can be viewed as nil or lame. Are you in need of His prosperity both in soul and body? If truly you are hungry for God, you will be filled mainly through His Covenant of peace upon us. (Jeremiah 29:11) And also, if truly you lack anything spiritually, you shall be satisfied. Challenges stems from being a part Christian and that is by following mainly the ideals of the world. (Ecclesiastes 12:14) May the joy of the Lord keep us this week and beyond and we shall continuously proper in growth, age, wisdom, health and in soul through Christ that strengthens us. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

God is everyday

Testimony Time:-Another day comes, although in a different format, it is still part of the daily grace of the Lord. We must see today as a privileged and therefore should be joyous in the fulfillment of His Covenant through the gift of the day. I welcome you to His fullness today. Do you believe God resides in everyday that is born? And are you part of the day? Let us with a gladsome mind, praise the Lord for His Kindness, may His Grace lead us to the everlasting grace. Amen Just checking in into His Presence

Endless cycle of His Grace.

Testimony Time:-Good morning and welcome to another endless cycle of His Grace which undoubtedly puts everyone on a mission to succeed in life, no matter what. But for you to have any meaningful presence in life, you must have been viewed to have a great presence in the Endless Cycle of His Grace. Which must include living victoriously over and above the invisible power of darkness, capable of seducing our thoughts, to draw us deeper into sins. Let it be known that you are recognized as a true Christian not by what you say, write, wear, the gifts you possess or by the virtue of your positioning in life. We can only become full time Christians when we truly live as Citizens of His Kingdom, who works tirelessly mainly to move the Heavenly Kingdom forward, and that is whilst still on earth. (Acts 3:6) We, as a result must be geared towards developing holiness in hearts, manifesting through the heartbeat of integrity, dignity and high moral standards. Being righteous in Christ should therefore not be misconstrued as an empowerment to link or view the heritage of God's Kingdom with selfish desires; overwhelmingly found in unholy camps. If your alliance therefore is with and in Christ, you are reconciled with Him. And if your wicked works prove you otherwise, you must from now seek to be blameless and above reproach in the sight God. (Colossians 1:19-22) Take our lives, let them be for You. Take our hearts, fill them with Your Thoughts, take our eyes, use them as Yours and reconcile our ways with Yours, let us walk together in them with You. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

The passage in time.

Testimony Time:-Good morning to you all and welcome to another passage in time. Like every other passages in time, life itself does has a beginning and very surely, the end will also be occasioned, whether we like it or not. If time is a passage therefore, what method have you adopted in the practice of Christianity which can only link you to the Creator of Time? Fleshy marketing in a Godly environment? Cheating, using the gifts of prophesies? Abuse of all sorts from the use of power and positions? Deceit by every standard and or dishonoring every peaceful attempt only to prove a point? Does the very Standard of God you profess to keep and honor remain short in your drive? Do people see in you an unchanged Christian? Please note, if what you wear, profess and represent does not advertise you spiritually, you are just an ordinary camouflage of Christianity. We are Yours Father, we beseech You to make us Yours in deeds as well as in person. And let us be a true replica of Christ and not s camouflage of Christianity. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Kept alive at Christ expense!

Testimony Time:-A very good day to you all and welcome to another time in His Presence. You may not know, you may have simply forgotten or just having the highest disregard to the fact that you are kept alive today at the expense of Christ. But for Him, where do you think you would be? In Christ, there is complete manifestation of God's requirement which were carefully presented through the Gospel of Christ in the Bible. And it is by following Christ examples with wisdom and the knowledge of God that salvation can be assured by the virtue of our faith in Him. As always, you are again being called for the acceptance of the completed Work of Jesus Christ which were centered on His death and resurrection. Those who believe in Christ however, are bound to triumph over sins through the righteousness in Christ Jesus. What have you given up for Christ to reign in your life? What draws you away from His Mercy Gate and what sin are you finding difficult to jettison in His favor? Remember, in Christ is the complete manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven requirements on earth. And they must be strictly adhered to for us to have a meaningful relationship with God. Let our love in You strengthen us, our faith in You keep us and believe in You order our steps so that we do not falter in Your presence. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Are you conversant with God's attitude?

Testimony Time:-Good morning again members of Christ family. I welcome you very greatly to another attitude of God which is constant, forever new and great in His faithfulness. To really live and dine with God requires a great attitude in faith, believe and righteousness. And without saying, it incorporates and also have the attachment of every breakthrough one needs to excel in life. Attitude proved very elusive in the case of a young girl traveling on the overground today. The inspectors suspected impersonation because she presented a child's pass. Even at that point, the inspector was very unsure of her stand and was ready and willing to let everything go and walked away. This young girl now launch a sarcastic comment on the inspector, reducing her status to mediocrity. Hearing such comment, the inspector was compelled to make a note of the encounter. On closer scrutiny, it turned out that the young girl did not live in the country to be able to procure such concession in her mode of travel, she is not 15 and that she is simply impersonating. What a dilemma as the whole family were now hoisted off the train to ascertain every claim the young girl made. Where will your attitude take you? The unchecked provision of Grace by God without the right attitude often brings disaster. Very much like the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15: 11-32. So today, I implore you to check your attitude before it becomes swollen. Bring your attitude back if it is running unchecked and away from you. That young girl, like the Prodigal Son lost her position of grace and now she is facing the music. I pray for the unchecked grace of God to rebuild the right attitude in us. Let His strength sustain our attitude where it is necessary so that we do not fall from our position of Grace. Amen Just checking in into Presence...

Everyday is a living library.

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends in very high place of God. You are all welcome to another history in the palace of the Most High God. As we match within His daily Grace, I encourage you to see each day as a living library. Only in this case, I am not talking about a building where you have access to a collection of books, films and periodicals. But a day where we all have access to a collection of the Lord's Grace which are richly reserved for only those whose ethos matches that of His Righteousness according to Deuteronomy 4:4 And so, today is another library opened for the dispensation of His Grace. What you earn as s result depends very largely upon how well you can hold unto God in this perilous time. (1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 3:1 and Jude 1:18) Now that the Library is opened, what do you intend to search for? Unlimited Grace or the mundane things of this world which can be classified as vanity? (Ecclesiastes 1:14, 17) Our Father Who art in Heaven, give us this day with all its benefits. Also make it an inheritance for us in Your Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

What is wearing a cross as a necklace?

Testimony Time:-A very good evening to you all and welcome to checking into His Presence on another wonderful day. So sorry for taking time to be in your presence today, the rigors at work although may be very pleasant but can also be unkind in terms of my routine most of the time. No matter what, it does not matter how, when and where you receive the message of Christ, but how well you are in tune with the message of the Holy One is what that really matter. I also want you to believe that anyone can wear the cross as necklace mainly to signify their true religion. It can be in silver, gold or diamond. But does that mean you can carry His cross also? The answer to me is no except you are prepared to offer as sacrifice unto God your sinful nature. That is the only method that can testify to the way you wear your Christ and not through any emblem of Christ. O Lord our Redeemer, we pray for Your Kindness upon us. Let what we do before you be linked to Your Holiness in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Welcome

Testimony Time:-Good day to you all and welcome to the Lord's Day. Just to assure you that God is not tired about us and will continue to build our faith in Him in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Can you be wise than your thoughts?

Testimony Time:-Good morning and welcome to the eight day in the eighth month of the year 2015. This is a very special grace given to us and only made possible by the Everlasting Arms of the Lord's Favor upon His creation. This morning, I will also like to intimate you with a statement I found on my daughter's wall which caught my attention-'Our acts can be no wiser than our thoughts. Our thinking can be no wiser than our understanding'. It made me ponder and ask if indeed our acts can be wiser than our thoughts and or our thinking wiser than our understanding? I came to the conclusion that if only we can decipher meaningful answers to these question, we will also enjoy the daily eruption of God's Grace upon our endeavors according to Lamentation 3: 19-23 Make today count therefore in your Kingdom race. Let your thoughts take control of your actions by allowing your understanding to reign over your thoughts and not the other way round. It is the only way we can be able to build a wall of righteousness around us. And so shall it be. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Boundaries, yes boundaries!

Testimony Time:-Good day to you all and welcome to another gift of the Lord in the presence of today. Although a bit late today, I want is to consider today as a gift because we have been powered to check into His Presence despite all the shortcomings we enjoy in the face of His righteousness. Now that you have the gift in your custody, what gift do you have for God in return for this special favor? Do you know you can keep the Spirit of His righteousness by remaining faithful to the pledges surrounding His Covenant? Do you also know that this attribute can unfold the promises of His heavenly Grace, mainly to those who chose to walk and stand by His Words? God has given you the gift to life, you must stay within the confines of His Promises for you to enjoy godly riches both on earth and in heaven. Our dear God who has lived from ages past, you remain our hope in life for the future. We beseech You to grant us Your Spirit so that we can lead a faithful life for Your peace to be assured upon the gift of your promise which is shared by all today. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Are cracks in your structures?

Testimony Time:-Good morning to all members in the Kingdom Race. I want to welcome you specially to another expression of the Lord's Mercy geared significantly towards giving us a renewed opportunity of building our Kingdom in heaven from this earth. The daily expression of God's Love to those He kept alive, avails every willing hearts the chance to rebuild where necessary, if there had been cracks in the structures they may have on earth in the Christendom as we all aim towards the heavenly goal. Are you prepared for the Kingdom Call? Have you reduced your errands in life to the state of panic on earth even when you are very popular in the corridor of many churches? Is your faith leakages proven? Do you shunt from churches to churches, from Pastors to Pastors and or from Prophets to Prophets. Please note that your walks of faith with God, through living and believing in His Righteousness supersedes any pilgrimages you may make to these earthly being. God can still perform His miracles wherever you are if you carefully follow the conditions of your faith in Him. Father, we want to donate for Your Sake all fleshy thoughts capable of drawing us away from Your Kingdom today, instead equip us with the pride to worship You perfectly, according to Your Ordinances. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

In Christ but still searching for the truth?

Testimony Time:-Good afternoon my fellow Children of His Grace. I am privileged to welcome you to His presence and to write like Apostle Paul to remind us about the truthfulness in God's word which we may not understand. Today, I want to ask if you are in Christ and still searching for the truth in the Christendom? Can you recognize the truth even when you find it? Do you know if God's Word are very true to you? This is because the concept surrounding truthfulness in God's Word are not based upon how good it sounds but the fruits that it's practice produces. And so in practice, how truthful are you to your church, friends and your spouse? Are the words you considered truthful ready/capable to destroy and bring death? We must know that practicing the truth in God's Word must be able to build, produces joy and also life to those who hears and receives it. Yes! You are always right, what Avalanche have you caused in its wake? And you want to be right, just how many people have you destroyed? Very simply, the truth is in God's Word and it is all about peace. Anything short of that is all about "Me syndrome", nothing more! We want to be led by the truth in Your Words Father, let our desires in this world match the steps we are to take to Your Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

How are you today?

Testimony Time:-Good morning to everyone and welcome to the beauty of another day through the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This morning, let the wise among us consider this statement in Matthew 15:11-"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." From the heart comes anger, pride, jealousies, hatred, murder and love, to mention a few. Apart from love, all other attributes bring so much unholiness into the method we choose to lead our lives. We therefore have as gain an avalanche of unsettlement in the ordained process of peace given as a covenant by God. Jeremiah 11:29. How are you today? This is in terms of what resides in your heart. If you know the answer, then where do you go from here? Let what you feed the world with through your mouth be from the fruits of love. This is another time of our lives Father, we beseech You to give us the Grace to live according to Your precepts. Let us be able to give back unhindered love to our neighbors, like the way you taught us in Christ Jesus. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

The history in everyday

Testimony Time:-Good day to my fellow Christians and welcome to the history of another day. Time flies and a lot goes in its wake. The interesting thing is we are all part of what makes the history of time. Very sadly though, we may have also witnessed the sour nature in time history as caused by people like us. They have become armchair critics in various camps, sending/putting forward different ideas that they think can serve as the best option to the orthodox ways of doing things. What are the state of affairs now that you have been put in charge? Are they getting any better? Would your efforts have been better served in a supporting role than actually being in charge? Do you need to pull him/her down to achieve your goals in the history of time? It is another history made today. Where will the pendulum swings, to the left, to cripple the standards of God? Or to the right, to maintain the ordinances of Gods righteousness in us? Father, we beseech you to look on this day in the history of time. Please support us so we can leave peaceful marks upon the sands of time in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Righteousness as a concept

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends and welcome to the Righteousness of God through which Christ once died for us even when He was considered sinless. 1 Corinthians 5: 21 states "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." This statement clearly classifies righteousness as a concept, what comes with it is the attributes in leading a life of holiness. What is very alarming which we may not know is that sin enjoys as much of conceptual notions which are very much like what we can find in Holiness and Righteousness. It is therefore safe to conclude that righteousness came through Christ and very simply Christ automatically becomes our righteousness. Consequently, Christ have earned the status of being righteous in God. We then have the right to see Righteousness as a gift given by Christ. To be in Christ you have to earn the status of Holiness but the concept of sin is also a status we can acquire. You may pretend not to know that it stands very much against the Righteousness of God in Christ through our ability to lead a life of holiness. What fruits are from your produce? What steps will you take to rectify the acquisition of the concept of sin overwhelmingly at work in your heart? Today, I encourage you not to deviate from the concept of holiness upon which Christ chose to lose His life in honor of His Righteousness to the Almighty God. Lord of mercy, we thank You for bearing the guilt of our sins. We beseech You not to count this exercise as vain upon us in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Operating the real Christian values

Testimony Time:-A very good morning to you all as we jointly share in the Grace that surrounds the very last day of the month of July. Very conspicuously too, July occupies the 7th position in the year 2015. It is all about Christian Values and living a good Christian life today. Historically, Christian Values are based on the teachings of Christ. The most important one can be found in Mark 12:28-30 and not on the number of times we make pilgrimages to Jerusalem coupled with excessive devotion to worldly values that promotes jealousies, resentments and conflicts among people in accordance with the purposes of Satan (1 John 3: 8-10, Roman 16: 17-20 and John 8:44) to mention a few. Many are particular about their visits to Churches. Some on the gifts of prophesies/the power to write and of preaching. Other categories are those who relies on the success of their reigns as Pastors, Shepherds and other Ministers of God. We very often have conflicting ideas of what can be classified as Godly lives and the issues relating to self righteousness destroys and set Christians wildly apart from each other, giving Satan the power to inherit what God had and purposely built for Himself. If what we know in the Bible are not mainly our problems but the causes of all challenges, then let us pause and consider what we do know and reflect on them so that we can begin to lead a righteous life. . What does God require of us? . How can I obey the Word of God? . How can I be faithful to God in my everyday life? Philippians 4:8 sums up the virtues and values of what we do know and we must greatly seek after them. And only if, we can prize our desires after them, we will be very close to what the Lord intended us to be, and so shall it be in Jesus name. Amen All we need from you today Father, is your empowerment to be able to lead a worthy Christian life and the ability to sustain the desires to live righteously before You in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Standing in the gap!

Testimony Time:-Good morning to everyone in the House. Let me welcome you very warmly to the Presence of God. Although, many people may not share in this belief that each time, we operate outside the Opened Doors of The Grace of His Mercies. And that is whether we like it or not, but the powers of ascension into His Holy Throne depends so much on our relationship with Him who created the heavens and the earth. Let us therefore take a cue from this Bible Passage-(2 Corinthians 6:14-18) "14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." And so Brethren in Christ, let all those who fear God unite to promote His truth and righteousness. It is certain that in your journeys you will come across wicked men of every rank and profession. Their overall aim is to plot in high places with the intention to run the works of God down at all cost. Please be aware that even though these wicked men may have succeeded in breaking the spirit of prayer, God is still seeking for that particular somebody who will stand in the gap and rebuild the walls of righteousness. (Ezekiel 22:30) May God see the attributes in us to be enough and therefore enlist us as one of the builders of the walls of righteousness in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...
