Checking into His Presence... Consistency is the word for every package we may encounter in life! To continue to achieve greatness in life requires absolute consistency with the attributes that put you in the path of stardom in the first place. It does not matter how you look at it, to maintain such position of glamour brings in some essence of continuity in the pursuit of the desires that strengthened us individually and then make us to stay in the spot light. To a very large extent; consistency determines your relationship with everything in life. At home, school, work, community and in the House of God too; being consistent describes your character which can either make or unmake you as a person. The ability to be consistent stems from the word love in the first place; you must stand on love and stay focused with love in order to have intimate and intrinsic drive which ultimately will give you room for genuine relationship in achieving goals every individual may have set for themselves. By every standard, the same ploy will be used to describe your character; to be considered inconsistent at work, relationships, and home and in the presence of God will always have ugly repercussions. It is therefore necessary to "take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;" (Ephesians 6:13-14) Success in life comes from the determination to consistently maintain and be driven by what is good. It does not matter which company you may find yourself; people will always measure you more by what they see and hear from you, not only about paper qualifications, beauty, recommendations, positions, home, wealth and gifts of the spirit. Matthew 5:16 says "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Whatever you leave intentionally for Satan, he will loot and plunder. "Devil cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly." (John 10:10) Lead us Heavenly Father, lead us! We rely on You because we cannot face the Devil without your help. Renew our strength, thoughts and vision. Let them be knitted to Yours. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into His Presence... Today is another meeting with God. To appreciate the level of His grace we have to treat the welcome gift with surprise. God's promises are very sure; even at that He does not give us the guarantee to live forever. Today should not be seen as an entitlement which is a constant method employed by all to denounce how lucky we are to be in it. It is also the cause that many are regarded as Christians only by name but in utterances, deeds and appearances they are eternity away from the commandments of God. Many have successfully usurped the power and the ability to know what will happen tomorrow, a ploy that has incapacitated every knowledge in them to treat each day as a surprise gift from God. Acting and believing in the power to know what will happen tomorrow sets us up on the same level with God. No wonder the world can boast of lots of Christian but genuinely the world also lack true converts. Are you a true converts? Have you jettisoned every uncharitable conduct in your wardrobe? Do you sometimes go back to the same vomit and flagrantly dishonour the true Christian ethics? The ideal thing is to stop acting as if you know what the next seconds can bring, let alone the audacity to see tomorrow. Therefore today "if we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth." (1 John 1: 6) and "behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. (Revelation 22:7) Please also read Revelation 22: 9-14. Give us the wisdom to honour You Oh Lord not by mouth but from the belly of our hearts; it is the only way to have true worship with You; so help us God. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into His Presence... The concept that God controls everything and that no one can do without Him remains poignant and undebatable. Many are still caught wondering why in spite of the preachings, teachings, encouragement and overwhelming display of His might in all His creation, this message has not sunk in yet. Many are quick to claim they have heard about God and quite rightly they are still learning about Him. But do they really know about God? When you have met, learnt and read about Him, it is important to treat Him as per His name because He is God who is faithful and can keep covenant unto many generations to come. The good news is, if you have Him, He can turn the heart of kings to favour you, no matter what! Therefore, when God gives messages, instructions and prophecies, they are meant to strengthen each and every one until the fulfilment of those messages. What happens in between the fulfilment determines who you are before Him. As time goes on, efforts should be made not to allow the potency of the message to wane even where tribulations comes in between the processes. You must remember that God is a covenant keeping God. Doubts and fear belongs to Satan whilst faith belongs to God. All God wants from you is to trust in Him. You may not believe, God is able to do what He said concerning your life and we should not worry about what God has promised concerning our lives. There is always clear evidence that God has delivered on them; only we must be very cheerful in order to receive them. Therefore, "trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me" (Micah 7:5-7). Today, God wants witnesses for His Kingdom and you have to believe in Him, trust in Him and also hope in faithfulness. Would you then give Him a chance so He can deliver on His promises? "The Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:…(Habakkuk 2:2-4) Father, You are the only One who can see the end from the beginning; we do know that Your desire is to make us witnesses unto Your Holy name by the power of the conviction we have received by Your Spirit. Make us today witnesses unto Your Divine Status so that many can be brought to the Feet of Your Cross in Jesus name. Amen Just checking into His Presence...

Checking into His Presence... Is it really true that mankind is totally dependent on the existence of God to live? Is it odd to assume the Spirit of God is the source of life and man would not have been able to come into existence without God's Spirit? Job 33:4. How dependent are you on the Spirit of God? Apart from the spirit of self-justification, does your understanding of God's theory emanate from the true assessment of your achievements, your beauty, your riches or upon your "Calling" and possibly the size of your congregation? If the answer to these is yes, have you truly assessed the declaration of Elihu in Job 32:7-9? These states "Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment". As you embark on another journey today in the presence of the Lord, what will be your inspiration? Is it going to be all about your age? What spirit will operate inside you, the Spirit of God or that of man? I encourage you therefore, to hear my words those who proclaimed to have given their lives unto God because you now have the knowledge of Christ. You must know that both ear and eye tests words as much as the tongue tastes food. Come, taste and know that the Lord is good. Behold God is mighty in strength, understanding and does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous. Job 36:5-33 God "Indeed, will draw us away from the brink of distress to a spacious place without constraints, filling our festive table with bountiful food. Amen (Job 36:16) Just Checking into His Presence...

12th March 2019

Checking into His Presence... Everyday matters but does each day matter anymore? Let us look back to when God began to create the world, He did it with style, precision, enthusiasm and purpose until His accomplishment became a true revelation. There was a pattern which was subsidiary to none in His approach. Indirectly, God seemingly opened up a story book for man to evolve and then dominate His good work. If God knows everything and can achieve all things; then nothing should have stood in obscurity before Him, He must have known beforehand what will happen to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. "For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps." (Job 34:21) Needless to say that God had the option to stop His creation just before the reign of men was introduced. God did not do that because His sole aim of creation is for men and women to honour and praise Him. It does not matter how, when and where they have committed sin; so long they can they can be reconciled back to Him with the hope they will not be found in the path of sinners again. There is therefore an abundance of grace in the story of every day. Such grace empowers you to choose rightly according to the demands of God; but don't forget that the grace also reduces the power of God to the position of an Onlooker when we wilfully and clandestinely choose to dive and swim into the pool of sin-very much like how the Lord looked on as Adam and Eve fell grossly into sin. (Genesis 3) Your mercies are forever new every day, we also know you can do and achieve all things; therefore let Your power brings us to You daily so we can be called Your Own in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking in into His Presence... Today, I would 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 this question, we will also enjoy the daily eruption of God's Grace upon our endeavours 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... 1

Checking into His Presence... Anyone can wear the cross as necklace mainly to signify their religion. It can be in silver or gold and even laced with diamonds. But does that mean you can carry His cross also? The answer no, unless you are prepared to offer as sacrifice unto God your life to be used wholly by Him. 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 are linked to Your Holiness in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

9th March 2019

Checking into His Presence... As we march 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 is 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 a 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 into His Presence...

8th March 2019

Checking into Presence... To really live and dine with God requires a great attitude in faith and righteousness. 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. I pray for the 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 into Presence...

7th March 2019

checking into His Presence... 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 was cantered 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 into His Presence...

6th March 2019

Checking into His Presence... 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 by 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 honour 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 a camouflage of Christianity. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into His Presence... It is so pleasing to see many attending churches and called by the name of Christ; however if only those who attends and worships the Lord under any guise can do so according to His commandments the world will be a better place because "As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love." (2 John 1:6). Aside, responsible service in the presence of God can also be rewarded with greater authority in the realm of the spirit. In that, as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (1 Corinthians 2:9) However, the desire to love God and His commandments requires also some responsibility which must not be taken lightly. Evidently, there are some risks involved and the decision to love cannot be traded with because it is unlike an emotion. To love therefore starts with the power and ability to choose love over any other form of hatred in accordance to the teachings of Christ. "Therefore brethren, there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? (1 John 4:18-20) Finally, to love is an obedience through faith and must be without fear. It involves risk, choices, and decisions and should not be handled with emotions. Such Abraham practiced only for him to be blessed with a Covenanted Child in the name of Isaac. (Genesis 16:19) Father without Your empowerment we cannot love rightly, choose to endow us with Your loving kindness so that the desire to love You will be paramount in every decision we make in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

4th March 2019

Checking into His Presence... Good morning friends and welcome to a new testimony. God is a God of purpose and whatever He does has meaning if truly you are in Him and He is in you. It does not matter if you have been praying for a miracle which appears to be far away, if you have God on your side, you can still be a miracle unto others. We can share testimonies only if we work according to His word. Don't be deceived; the only miracle we have left in the world is when you truly have God as your Father. Absolutely no one has the power over any miracles without you first believing in Him that the miracles abide. Therefore, begin to walk righteously in Him and then aim to be blameless at all fronts; you will begin to experience God like you have never had before, because Great is His faithfulness. What is your position today, blaming God for all that has ever happened to you? Are you blaming the man of God or even the church? What of the prophecies you have received? Is that the reason for not serving God? See, if we do not allow our perceptions to be in accord with God, life will not be meaningful when there is crisis. May we be passionate in every circumstance to serve the Lord so that His miracles in us can be shown for the world to see. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

3rd March 2019

Checking into His Presence... We may be giving glory to God for His steadfast love and care; as well let us check ourselves to see if really we are having a proper relationship with Christ. In that, relationship with Christ must be such that challenged everyone to be upright in their Christian duties. It has a lot to do with our responses to Christ teachings, examples, His laws and the type of love we have towards our neighbours. These attributes alone bear testimony to whether we are dead or alive with/in Christ and under no circumstances be misconstrued as- 1. The display of ornamental crosses worn on different necks. 2. The amount of religious visits to so many churches. 3. Monetary contributions to various projects in any Christian Assemblies. 4. Lucrative positions or otherwise we may have been appointed to or may have usurped under different agendas. 5. Coined or faked spiritual endowment and or endorsement. 6. How big your ministry is 7. Not the size of personal pockets and or church pockets. 8. It is not how well you can speak, write and sing to the Lord's praises. 9. The sort of name we bear or who we are connected with or to. "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Romans 6:12-14 "Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Roman 6:11) Lord, give us your spirit so we can be alive in you. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

2nd March 2019

Checking into His Presence... Let us get out of being a child and begin to adopt the rights to the true ownership of the inheritance of heaven. Apart from the fact that only God can prove who we are within the genuineness of our Christian worship, those who chose to be called Christians can consider themselves free to chase after things that presumably are good. However, they must also note that not all good things are healthy and peaceful for the kind of relationship God requires from us. It does not matter what formula you are using to portray yourself in the Christendom. This can either be as a Pastor, Shepherd, Prophet/Prophetess, Deacon or other men and women of God who are of very high repute. Remember, God knows your works even though their filth can be hidden to other men of God within the Christian race. God has the privilege to see and know everything even before the thoughts are conceived. There may be enough prove that we have listened to the Voice of God, albeit in many ways which should have attracted and affected the most adamant man; quite clearly too and by the same token; many have also refused to follow direct instructions from God which includes among other things-obedience to His Words and true worship. Why then do we remain thirsty in the midst of plenty? Isaiah 55:1-3 says "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Brethren in Christ, coming to church like a Christian cannot give you enough strength to receive salvation. The only sure way to be revived, restored and established as one of the disciples of Christ is by following His precepts and not by leaning on our own understanding. You know your work and what it's worth in the Kingdom race. A time is coming that no amendment can take place in the way we have lived our lives. Therefore, make every second count in God's favour; our salvation in heaven depends so much on it. Lord we have come again, empower us to eat that which is good and let our souls delight itself in fatness. Incline Your ear and come unto us so that we can hear to make our soul live. Also remember Your everlasting covenant with us which are as sure as the mercies given unto David. Amen Just checking into His Presence...
