Checking into Gods Presence... 

In my reminiscent as a young boy, I grew up in an environment where you can only put your arguments into words. Not where siblings slapped each other around. My parents were also very reluctant in using physical abuse to train us. 

During this period, each time when I was naughty, my sister would say the Lord sees me just to make sure she kept to the ground rules. A voice inside me would then say go inside the house to hide yourself so you can free from the effectiveness of this phrase. 

Unknowing to me then, I was deceiving myself. The Lord knows our beginning from the end (Isaiah 46:10) and nothing is hidden before Him. Are you with the same thought? Do you think you can escape from Him? What are your views in your present mode of worship in relation to your God?

Let me say without any doubt that you cannot hide from His Presence. He is the Silent Listener to every conversation and the Unseen Guest with every life. He comes quickly; His rewards are with Him to give unto every one according to his/her work. Revelation 22:12

Here is wishing you a happy new month of December. And l pray for the glory of God to lead us into the new year. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Congratulations! Yes, we made it! Not by our standard, or by our might. Or quite simply, it is not because of our look, riches, prayers, positions or influence, but because the Lord approved our desire to see this day. 

There is no immunity against death, even Christ died for us whilst we are still sinners (Roman 5:8) truly, and He is our friend. What a privilege to be associated with Him.

And on this day, as we go through with prayers unto our Lord God, choose to be His true friend. Not only by association with the Name, or through prayers but also in our conducts and in thoughts. Eschew anger, hatred and lust. 

Rather, embrace peace, love and seek righteousness. You will be offering a seat to God in your heart without knowing, thereby achieving the most elusive peace that many desire. Get real! And get connected to Christ. 

We can be in His presence without being connected to the throne of Grace. That offers no reward in live and in heaven. Let today be your turning point. The Lord is waiting for your call. It can only be to our advantage.

May the Lord lead us into His presence today. He will rekindle the Spirit to serve Him righteously iand establish His peace upon us now and always. Do have a fulfilling day in His Presence. Amen

It is another time to witness the glorious grace of our Lord and saviour. And now we are at liberty to enjoy the fullness of His grace in His Presence. The only snag is that it must be according to His Will and Purposes. 

In examining His Will and Purposes, a breakfast menu is brought before me to share within the knowledge of Christ and I am amazed about what stands out among the choices we have.

Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:30-32 gave a clearer explanation to the issue of Time and many finds the discussion filled with ambiguities. According to some noble thoughts, it is the world that grows old, not the people therein. 

Let it be known therefore that “we die daily” and must treat the time we share in this world with the knowledge of Christ even though many are being led astray by man's opinion of what the end time would be like. This confusion is working well for Satan as it also did some 2000 years ago when Christ was crucified for our sins whilst we are still sinners.

Christians know about the prophecies that say Satan will impersonate Christ and act as if he has come to bring peace to the world. (Isaiah 14:12-14, Matthew 24:23-27 and Revelation 16:14). Therefore the deceptions of the last days will surpass any that have come before, giving power to the antichrist which is sublimed in nature but potent enough to make the REAL CHRIST an antichrist. 

The “man of sin” “sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”  (2 Thessalonian 2:3-4)  In order to put himself in the place of God, who is righteous and holy, the man of sin must claim to be righteous and holy while in reality opposed to righteousness”.

Within the time that you share in the presence of God daily, make a wise decision and allow the Christ to be in it. May Christ continue to lead us in His Presence. I pray we will all have a midweek that is filled with God’s plan, purpose and achievement in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

It is all about an open invitation to worship the Lord this morning. (Jeremiah 29:13). He gave so much to prove His Love by giving us a platform to seek redemption for our sins through His Son Jesus Christ who died on the cross. 

All that is required is to believe in Him as stated in John 3:15 "That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life". Why then do we allow the world problems which are of Satan to bamboozle us? 

Where is the little faith that is required of you? Have you deposited them in brothels, pubs or with men and women of this world?  Is your alliance with any secret societies? Here is an open invitation to think about your present position with Christ, even when we enjoy faith as small as a mustard seed. 

Our presence before Him must be so aligned with His Purpose. Today therefore, begin to fear and keep His commandments. The rewards are GREAT! The expression of the gains cannot be clearer enough. 

Colossians 3:24" says it all "Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Know you therefore, that as much as there are gains to enjoy, eternal judgement also awaits all. 

I am imploring you today to choose life by adhering to His precepts because His Laws are pure and simple (Psalm 19:7) and all hidden works will be brought to judgement, whether good or bad.(Ecclesiastes 12:14)

I pray for you all to have a great day filled the Lord's Purpose and success. Amen

In Matthew 28:18 we learnt “Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”. And in (Isaiah 9:6), we also have in Christ a child that is born with a government placed on His shoulders. 

“He will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace”. This day, I am led to encourage you all to believe in His government so as to lead a meaningful life in the world of today.

Do you believe in His government? Do you believe Christ has a close knitted relationship with God the Father to make things happen for real? Matthew 3:17 describes the passion between their relationship - “And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased”. 

Do you also know that a government is placed on His shoulders to take charge of our affairs? And that we have His government placed on us to listen, work and walk with Him. What we may not consider is when our responsibilities are diminished adhering to His principles, we reduce the fringe benefits attached to the Throne of Grace and we suffer as result.

In retrospect, we would have handed over the key to life unto Satan who then will begin to toy with our existence. Now is your chance to have a stable relationship with His government. If you can use your vote to get a Political Party of your choice to get into power and rule by all means, by all means serve a Living Father who can give rest to your soul and  I wish you “above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”(3 John 1:2)

Do have a week that is filled with the Lord’s Mercy. Amen

The passage that came to mind today is 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 which states " This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful".

How well do we measure in the true value of follower-ship of Christ? Whatever answer you have in your minds, let it resemble that which is stated in Matthew 5:16

And it states “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"

I suppose we all know what our failings are. We also know the ruins many have delivered in the name of Christ. 

Many have claimed/claiming to be Christ, a Prophet of His and an Apostle of Him. But only God alone knows who His true followers are. Let it be known that the same way Christ was sent to the world, so also we have all been sent to lead our lives with Christ in it. 

John 17:18 as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world"). 1 Timothy 3:1 states "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work" Therefore, It is not so much about the office/your office, but about who you truly represent-a servant of Christ, an Apostle of Christ who stands to explain the mysteries surrounding the Works/Words of God through His divine inspiration. 

We must therefore be faithful unto man and God to get to that position/maintain the position.

It is not too late to seek the Lord. He comes knocking on your door all the time and only you can open the door. Without any doubt, a lot has to do with His personal invitation into your lives.

May the Grace of God lead us to invite Him today into our lives in Jesus name. Here is wishing you a happy Sunday and a day that is filled with the Lord’s testimonies in Jesus Name. Amen

With joy and a heart full of praise unto the Greatness of the Lord, I congratulate everyone for the blessing we have received through the presence of a new dawn. 

Whatever your beliefs are, please note that God is in every second we spend in this world and there is absolutely nothing He does not know about us. 

“Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Psalm 139:2-4

We are encouraged to be mindful of what we bear in our minds because we are always guided by the fruits of our thoughts. And if God is in our lives, He must also have the power to decipher which of our thoughts are worthless. 

“The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.” Psalm 94:11-14

Let it be known again and again that our thoughts determine whether we are of God or of Satan and we all know when we fall foul to our thoughts. Consequently, I am encouraging you to invite God into your hearts; make Him the owner of your souls and minds, think of His kingdom and things that are noble. 

Make Him supreme over your thoughts and emotions to ratify His faith in every dimension. Without knowing, you will give Satan and his henchmen stampede and they will worry you no more. Amen

Lord we give you praise, we acknowledge your greatness in our existence from day to days. And today, we invite you to take possession of our thoughts, guide our souls and minds and give our hearts peace. 

Draw them to you and give us the power to worship you in truth and holiness. As we go about today, let us be able to testify to your greatness in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

If the Lord decides to answer your prayer today, like He did to Hannah in Shiloh, are you in a position perfectly placed for this to happen? Know that God answers prayer, the only problem is we constantly change our position and this has so much to do with the guilt we suffer as a result of our sins. 

“Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.”Isaiah 59:1-2

Today was the tomorrow that was promised yesterday and it is full of His Grace, but without God Presence in it, we will have laboured in vain. 

Know that God can still meet you at your position, only in your position and wherever you call Him must be very conducive for His Presence. The choice is yours. Ask therefore but don't ask amiss (James 4:3). Pray but with a holy mind and in a holy ground (Act 14:9-11) and you will continue to enjoy the Presence of the Lord.

May the Hand of God reach out unto us today and cast away all uncertainties in our life. May His Power redeem us from the antics of Satan and the pangs of death in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

It is my birthday today and l give glory to God for all that l have achieved through Him, by Him and for Him. In part, l have seen the time change so often in different parts of the world. 

But let me assure you that it does not matter what sort of change we may have experienced, the Lord’s motive for creating us remains the same. Malachi 3:6 states “I the LORD does not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed" 

Even if the tasks ahead are daunting, and the level of people worshipping with their feelings and emotions increase, there are rewards for every effort in the Lord’s Presence. “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Ecclesiastes 12:14

I pray to God to inspire us with the Holy Spirit, and grant us the privilege to worship Him in truth faith and Holiness in Jesus Name. Amen

The year is withering and so is everything on this planet. If indeed this happens to us, very sadly and without admitting, we die daily! 1 Corinthians 15:31 states “I face death every day yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord”.

So, what are we doing with time? We must note in all of our whims, there is no easy access to the Throne of Grace without fighting against the temptations of the devil summed up within the distractions of this world. 

Joseph did not have it easy to receive the fulfilment of his destiny. He had to pass through the pit, to prison and then to palace. During that period he walked righteously with God and the Lord showed him mercy causing his dreams to come to fulfilment. 

Furthermore, there would have been no Israel if Jacob had been lenient with the Angel of the Lord in Genesis 32:22-32. And very clearly, Goliath would not have been defeated if David stood aloof and did nothing.

What would this life be if all you do is stare? The only constant thing is the Word of God which will last forever, so why not put your trust in Him? The evidences are He would not change/change position and that He fulfils what He had spoken. 

Hebrews 6:17 (http://biblehub.com/hebrews/6-17.htm) states “because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath”. 

So why do we need to put our trust in things of this world that would fly away? God is not a man that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfil? (Numbers 23:19 (http://biblehub.com/numbers/23-19.htm))

May the Lord grant us the desire to seek and also embrace what is noble. This mid week will usher us in to the realm of His riches in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Praise Him without any limitations and irrespective of your condition! There must be no limitation in our standards of praise. This is because of the standard of grace we all enjoy. 

The only “standard limitation” set are in the area of our choices because whoever is born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God (1 John 3:9).

And this morning, what are your choices in His Presence taking into account the standard limitations of God? Remember, Cain was given limitations by God just like everyone else. He had the same power like us to choose between being hearer and doer of the Word. 

I am sure we marvelled as we read about his conduct. Directly or indirectly, it can be likened to that of a man who observes his natural face in a mirror, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was (James 1:24) as a result, he killed Abel! 

Genesis 4:8. Do we not follow the same principles of Cain? Let me reaffirm,  we don’t have to kill to be convicted of the same offence, even when we follow the standard common law test in the world today to examine most of our motives, using men’s rea or actus rea to determine the degree of guilt.

May the gracefulness attached to God’s name overwhelm our hearts and make us productive in  the service to man through His Name. Amen

1 Corinthians 8:6 states “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him”.

1 Timothy 2:5 also reaffirms this knowledge “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”. As Christians therefore, I am very sure we practice our beliefs based on the assurance that we have One God and Jesus Christ is our mediator.

These are some of the mysteries surrounding the Works of God who must consider over a billion prayer requests at the same time. Give Him praise when you go through any condition. Move away from the complaining camps because you are not the only one with the direct link to His Throne of Mercy.

Why? We have seen righteous men and women fallen in sickness and in death, how much more you that constantly roam at the door of mercy without going into His Throne of Grace. You are neither here nor there, making the service unto Him as part of a fashion show, a ritual filled with lip service without any penitence from our guilty paths.

Today, make your choice wisely. The Lord is always waiting for you and we have His inheritance to gain. 1 John 1:9 states “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

In this new week, may the Lord lead us with His Grace and give us the confidence to rely on His Words. Amen

It is a great day already; irrespective of our conditions we can feel the greatness of God as a new day is ushered in through His works. The amazing thing is that no one has the power to stop Him in His strides! 

Therefore, when we see the morning drifting into afternoon and within our full glare, the evening takes over and separate the day from the night, we are forced to enjoy the Greatness of His kindness. 

These are all controlled by the Presence of only One God and so shall it be until eternity. “For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end”. Psalm 48:14

This Sunday, I will encourage you all to bring your concerns to Him through prayers and also maintain your divine status with Him as you respond to the challenges of unanswered prayers. 

Always remember His assurances in Psalm 23, particularly verse 3 which states “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake” because the Lord cherishes His name 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 (Romans 8:28)

Who can fight for God? James 4 enlightens “Why do you fight and argue among yourselves? Isn’t it because of your sinful longings? They fight inside you. Do you remember what Scripture says? The spirit that God caused to live in us wants us to belong only to God. Don’t you think Scripture has a reason for saying that? James 4:1&5

Yes! Because “God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are not.” (Proverbs 3:34). You now have the choice to make amends today. Start by maintaining your divine relationship and His Grace will abound.

I pray for His presence in our lives to give us the power to outwit the power of Satan in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

This morning, it is all about praising God. Therefore, let us know that “God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding” (Jeremiah 10:12). 

Although we may feel our prayers go nowhere; I can confirm they all go to the throne of Grace. As stated by Apostle John in Revelation 8:3 which states: “Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.”

Please also note that we have gone this far because of God’s grace and not by our strength!

May the Lord uplift our strength today through His Grace and grant us the benefits of those that diligently seek Him in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Our time in His presence can be regarded as a plot of land called the Lord’s garden which we must learn to cultivate plant and nurture to the glory of the Lord. 

The common denominator is the time we are given, and according to many interpretation, this time is shrouded in mysteries because no one can determine for how long he/she have been given within this time to attend to the Lord’s Garden. 

This is one of the areas that show God as a Superior Being and we must all marvel at His Presence. What goes from you into the Lord’s Garden is of immense importance. 

For whatever you plant you will harvest and the harvest is not of this world. Genesis 8:22 states, “while the earth remained, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease”. 

Consider also John 4:35 which say “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest”. 

So if the harvest is here all of the time and we reap what we sow into the Lord’s Garden with pleasure, and within the time allocated to us, so also our conduct before God will be harvested when our time is up in this world.

I therefore charge you to make a difference today, for the harvest is ripe already. The Harvest is nigh and the Lord is ready to give unto everyone according to his/her conducts, whether it is good or bad. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

May the Lord increase our spiritual strength, knowledge, wisdom and give us the ability to follow Him greatly in His footsteps. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

Let’s consider Cain in Genesis 4:16, who ran away from the presence of the Lord having killed his brother Abel. From that day God placed a 'mark' which symbolizes dishonour upon him and branded him a sinner for murdering his brother. 

Indirectly and against popular beliefs, the mark was supposed to be a curse upon Cain but it was nothing of the sort because God only cursed the ground so Cain could never farm again but rather to be a fugitive and a wanderer upon the earth.

Judging by Cain's actions, it was evidenced that God noticed Cain's anger beforehand and did nothing to stop him. Rather He advised, "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it." 

God therefore left the decision up to the simple minded Cain to interpret what the instructions were. Cain then chose to kill his brother and God pronounced some punishment.

In actuality, these so-called punishments improved his life. Cain didn't wander at all. Instead he settled in the east in the land of Nod, married, prospered, had one son and founded a city. 

The mark also signified an act of protection that meant whosoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance. These happened just because Cain complained against the Lord’s punishment. 

I pray, as we go about today in His Presence, may the Lord show His mercies upon us now and always. His mark will lead us to where we will enjoy our possessions through Christ our Saviour.   Amen

When we look around us, what can we say about the Lord's greatness? Do you realize there must be something in His name that draws the whole earth unto Him, and His name we can boldly confess to even by association? 

We must also note that with His Name no one can fault us and the rewards to those who follow Him are immense. For “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.” Psalm 145:3

Therefore, put your trust in Him today. He is waiting…May the power of the Lord feed us with His wisdom so that our choices will always be labelled God’s own in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Christ Beloved, do you know there are something’s that are not just worth fighting for? Do you also know that it is our inability to decipher between which and what to fight for that is responsible for at least 75% of the world problems?

Today, I want you consider all that we strive for under the name of peace. Are they synonymous to Philippians 4:8?which states: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things". 

And are they paramount to the sacrifice of peace and for peace?

May the Lord's Grace teach us to accept things we cannot change, grant us peace and make us to live above sin in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

We must work very hard to follow Christ’s examples. The thoughts of them alone can be very gratifying and the practice will surely lead us to our peace. (Ephesian 2:14-15 

“For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace”) 

Therefore, as we share in His pain, let us remember His messages that will guarantee our peace and also lead us to reign with Him in heaven.

May the Lord anoint us with the oil of favour and make our souls to prosper through Christ our redeemer. Amen

Christ did all He could to show us His love, preaching; we have a great adversary in the name of Satan who works against us constantly but portrays himself as an angel of God, a position he once enjoyed- “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light” 2 Corinthians 11:14. 

As Christians therefore, we ought to remember if any doctrine is preached that is contrary to that of Christ which embraces love, peace, unity and any other slogan for charity, please note that they are of antichrist and should be denounced straightaway. 

Galatians 1:8 states “but even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!”

Let us use this period therefore to start preaching the gospel of God, anything short of this principle brings about difficulties emanating from Satan and his cohorts, but sadly can also be endorsed by God even where we know His mercies are infinite as in the life of Job in Job 1:8.

May the grace of the Lord uproot all satanic influences in our live and we shall continue to enjoy the Presence of the Lord in all we do. Amen

Through the fulfilment of His covenant, the first Church sprang up in Antioch (Acts 11:19-26) and from then on various Ministries came about. In testament to God’s covenant, the Holy Spirit also began His work, leading many Christians unto the path of Christ.

In part, Christ was preparing us for the “Finishing Line” so much so that, some 2000 years ago He laid down His life so that we can all receive the Grace of the Father. From then on, the Holy Spirit took control and those who are constantly led by the Spirit continually enjoy the Grace of God. 

Romans 8:14 states “for those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Therefore, to get acquainted with the “Finishing Line” we in return must be prepared to lay down things of this world at the feet of Jesus. 

This is because they can cause unnecessary distraction. We must remember everything about Christ is humbleness; He was not at any time extravagant during His lifetime, both in deeds, utterances and submissiveness. 

For instance, He was delivered in a Manger, rode on a colt instead of a horse and also favoured moving around performing His Fathers Work as against sharing in the comfort of any home.

Please note, there will be trials and temptations, but we have to leave them at the feet of Jesus. Christ has appointed people to remind us about what He has promised through His Grace, and this medium is one of them. 

I therefore pray, as we go about today, we shall dig and find water, we shall sow and reap plenty and the Lord testimonies in our lives will continue in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Who is your pillar of faith? What do you hold unto that constantly reduce your appetite to serve God? Could it be trials? 

Let it be known that we cannot remain untouchable from the effects of trials and temptations; they will surely come inasmuch that the world remains. 

And some may have been apportioned by satanic influences, all we need is a very strong faith in who we believe in and we shall be an overcomer. Please remember this:

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:27-28

If Christ is the key, maintain your faith in Him and He will whet your appetite in your desire to serve Him.

May the love of Christ favour us today and always. Amen

Christ indeed died some 2000 years ago but there is little doubt that the death of Judas Iscariot occurred before that of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 27:5). 

Let it be known that Judas' act of betrayal was recorded as part of God's sovereign plan upon the Son of Man. It served as a means of bringing redemption back to the world so we can be reinstated back to the position of grace we once enjoyed before the fall of Adam and Eve. (Psalm 41:9, Zechariah 11:12-13)

In Isaiah 53:12, we can then deduce that the only sin Christ committed was His unfailing Love, not only that, it also casts serious failings upon the character of Judas Iscariot who above all other things allowed his faith in Jesus Christ to fail him. 

In that, Judas worked with Christ throughout His Ministry just like other disciples. He was privileged in his position within the group and was opportuned to witness all the mind blowing miracles Christ performed. 

As a treasurer, he became a thief having been stealing from the group's money bag and Christ knew his disloyalty was to the point of no redemption. Other apostles may have deserted Him and Peter may have also denied Jesus but Judas made the greatest error in history by leading the temple guards to Christ at Gethsemane and also identified Jesus by kissing Him.

Today, I want us to start to work on our faith and we must not at any point allow our faith in God to fail us. Judas Iscariot started with a little crime but Satan took advantage of his vulnerability and the greed in him was escalated to the point of no redemption. 

As a result, he delivered an innocent Man to the vipers of this world, who crucified Him.

May the death of Christ bring redemption upon our souls and His ascension to heaven will give us His grace to be able to walk in His way in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Christ life and death has become living testimonies so that all those who believe in Him, even when they are dead, they will still enjoy perpetual life in His Kingdom. Some amount of faith is needed to believe in the theory that indeed there is life after death (Isaiah 26:19). 

However, we all know about the celebration of the name Jesus whilst we are still in this world and that is enough testimony for us to believe He also reigns in heaven dead or alive.

For every situation we encounter, let us remember His unfailing love, Promises and Covenants and draw nearer to Him more than ever before and He will be kind towards us. 

Please note, when we live our lives away from Christ, irrespective of the position we enjoy there is bound to be some repercussions (Isaiah 26:21). For if Christ can choose to die on the cross for our sake, then we must have known between what is good from what is bad, therefore we have no excuse.

As a result, begin to fear the Lord and work in His demands so that we can have rest for our souls. 

In this new week, I pray for the joy surrounding the resurrection of Jesus Christ to remove all satanic stains from us and endow us with the privilege to choose to serve Christ- a living Father who bore our guilt so that we can all be saved. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

Today, it is all about thanking God for His faithfulness. Indeed, His mercies reigneth forever. 

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun” Psalm 19:1-4

Therefore, let the world marvel at His greatness Halleluyah. May the Love of Christ embrace us and lead us to our position of peace in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Dearly Beloved, today's message has to do with the Love of God. Please note that God is Love and you have to love God to claim any inheritance from Him. “

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:8

Ironically, to love God means we have to love ourselves. Those who do not love one another are those that will do away with the Love of God.

May the Power of God strengthens our desire to love Him through the perfect love we share with our neighbours in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

Have you become an institution unto yourself in every form that cannot be associated with Christ? Brethren in Christ, I want us to remember that David’s life was a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows as a king of Israel but still managed to leave us an example of passionate love affair with God. 

In 1 Samuel 13: 14 and Acts 13:22, He was described as a man after God’s own Heart and became an institution to all Christians until this day.

What institution have you built so far and which one do you intend to build? Running away from the presence of God would lead no one anywhere. 

I pray for the mercy of the Lord to overwhelm our endeavours and establish in us the desire to walk always in righteousness. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

Do you always think about basking in the glory of God? Then you must admit the privileges, and continue to praise Him. You must believe in Him, worship Him irrespective of your condition and desire to act on His commandments, all of the time. 

You will then discover there is nothing as peaceful as working within His Reigns. Therefore use today to check into His Presence, the Lord is waiting for your call.

Please remember Psalm 37:4, and it states: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

May the Lord remove the stronghold of Satan in our lives and fortify us with divine peace, comfort, joy and good health in Jesus Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

Christ Beloved, let us know that in our Presence before God, we have to constantly upgrade and update our statused just like Prophet Isaiah suggested in Isaiah 6:6-8

“Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”

And perhaps our presence before Him had been filled with illicit conducts; it is never too late to reprocess our behaviour before God, just like the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32.

We can start by running the reigns of heaven from this world, and by introducing Christ like influence into our endeavors. 

And by doing so, I strongly believe we will not be heavenly conscious to the detriment of our earthly responsibilities because that may be the only Bible the people of this world will ever come into contact with.

I pray in this new month that the grace of God will satisfy our needs and propel us into comfort, joy, peace, divine riches, long life and good health in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen 

Here is wishing you all a happy New Month of November.
