Talk of Unknown Grace
Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of Grace and welcome to another display of the wonders of God.
Let us think for a moment about how the night rolled into another day, albeit with a very smooth passage. There was no fuss, no earthquake, and no pandemonium, but a great thing happened in the course of the change. A change from stark darkness to the brightness of the day and God is the change.
God is capable of doing a new thing that will be witnessed by all at the same time. The effects are always phenomenal, compared to the little ego we earn when we record and achieve success in any of our fields.
The failure of the human race stems from our inability to recognize the Supremacy of God, where we do, we tend to ignore or simply forget. Rather, we go about empowering our self proclaimed status, at the expense of the Lord's who only knows everything and can do anything.
We have all witnessed another change from the night to another day. God is in it, but are you? If God is not in your life fully, there is danger ahead.
We give You all the Praise, we honour you and adore Your Greatness Father, give us a heart that is willing to live under your Canopy of Love so that we will not be lost even when we enjoy your presence. Amen

Each day brings unbroken Communion with God.
Testimony Time:-Good morning to you all and welcome to another Greatness of the Lord. The truth we must know in the presence of another day is that God uses it to remind us about Who He is and by so doing to recognize His Supremacy. The presence of the new day therefore invites everyone to form a lasting relationship with God so that relationship can then be everlastingly proven, if only we can work and walk with Him.
From the beginning however, God has longed for a working and walking partner. That privilege was bestowed unto Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:8. It is so true that Satan came and destroyed what should have been a long lasting relationship that borders on companionship with the Alpha and Omega.
Today, I want you to know that this perfect trend may have been broken by Satan, God still uses each day like a arm to pull us away from Satan and into His unbroken communion, first as a Friend, a Father and our Lord and Maker.
You may have called on the name of God severally, at vigils, through fasting and in beliefs. But how much have you uncovered in the true delight of walking and working with God? Of all the "pray and run existence" and "worship and go" syndrome, what can we say about you?
Also, with your smoke screen revival catalogs and idiosyncrasies in prophecies, of what use have they been? Remember, Adam did not find any delight in his relationship with God. Enoch on the other proved otherwise and so in Genesis 4:26 and 5:22-24 we can see the result of men in the early days who chose to call on the name of God without running in and running out.
Adam and Eve did, they suffered the consequences and the effects goes on till today. But Enoch had more intense spiritual pursuit than Adam and God took him up in glory. God is again using the same principle to draw you for Himself today within the newness of the day, what will your response be?
God we ask you to blot out the tendency to run in and run out of your Presence. Let our walk with You be more Spiritually intense in Jesus name. Amen

Of what Seed are you?
Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of Grace and welcome to a New Plantation of God. Only today and this new week, the Lord has chosen to plant you as a Seed into His Beautiful Garden. But of what use as a Seed will you be for this purpose, knowing a seed must germinate first to bring out good fruits today? What seed will come out of your mouths, your thoughts and actions?. Are your attributes seasoned enough and fit for all seasons? (Colossians 3:16)
Today, I pray to God to sanctify our actions so that we can be considered righteous before Him in Jesus name. Amen

The power of choice is an enslavement.
Testimony Time:-Good morning to you all and welcome to another Lord's Day with number plate 10/5/15.
Today's registration is in itself very conspicuous and it is very much like the Unseen Presence of God. The only difference being there is so much Presence of God in the stench of the Day than the actual day.
This is because the day will always outlive itself and very soon too, today will simply be on its back and we shall be left with nothing but with the unadulterated feelings of God's Presence, come rain on shine!
Are you going to be a slave to the day? Will you very much allow the day to control you and then renounce the Presence of God in it?
Remember, you were so much in control of 9/5/15. Today, that same day you relied on proved very elusive. It has suddenly become yesterday and now you have a new day called 10/5/15. In all its characteristics, the only constant THING is the Presence of God.
You can still choose to hang unto your prominence today. I want to assure you that that also will prove very elusive one day. In doing so, please consider Romans 6:16. This is because you will have enslaved your status to whatever has control over your inner most being.
This could be lies, anger, lack of forgiveness, lasciviousness, greed, mockery, fornication and adultery, fighting, blasphemy, evil plot etc etc. Please also note, that the repercussions are greater even when you preach against such things.
"God only moves with those who move with Him" Are you moving with God? Can you feel His Groove? What music are you dancing to? Is it of deceit in His Presence?. You are not here forever but God is! Circumstances come and go but God remains forever.
Therefore, let your choice be God's. If God is in it you will always have peace in the end.
Lord, you have been so kind to give us a new day today. Please give us the courage to turn a new leaf so that we will allow our innermost thoughts to be enslaved by You, all for Your Glory in Jesus name. Amen

Are you blameless before God?
Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of God and welcome to a new glory in the Lord. For you to enjoy the newness of this Glory, you must have the desire to work and be on the Lord's Side so that He too can be on your side.
Psalm 119:1 says "blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walks according to the law of the Lord". Little wonder that in Genesis 17:1-16, God still chose to appear to Abram even when he was ninety nine years old to reaffirm His wishes upon him, so that He can fulfill His Covenant upon Him.
Does that mean Abram had not been walking with God before? No! only this time, the emphasis of God was for him to "be blameless" before Him. Do you not carry the logo of a saint around, destroying all the good works of God in the process?
And no matter how righteous you may consider yourself to be, are you blameless before Him? Have you not allowed the issues with self righteousness to dwarf your Christian Virtues? And very carelessly, you may not know the drunken effect the popularity of your services within the Christian Fold may have had on you.
Know you therefore that for you to receive any blessings from God, the Lord must consider you blameless. There is no one in this world who can either give or renounce that status in you. It is not a show off matter and has nothing to do with how high people think you are spiritually or indeed how closely connected you are to people in the corridors of power.
May we continue to walk on the Lord's Side so that His Covenant upon us can be fulfilled in Jesus name. Amen

It's a case of dual expectations.
Testimony Time:-Good morning as I welcome you all to the first of the day's Grace. As always, the Lord's Mission is very clear, and that was to separate the night from the day.
However, this issue of darkness and brightness resonates in every encounter in His Presence. The overall attributes of each and everyone now determines who we are in His Presence.
Staying on the same course with God by following His commandment, puts us in a powerful position as Children of Light to share from His Glory. (1 Peter 1:4)
God will continue to show His generosity to us with high level of consistency owing to the above. And the rise and fall of the night in favour of the day should encourage us to be generous in our approach to His Demands.
2 Corinthians 8: 1-5 was also quite generous to describe God's given Grace to the Macedonian churches and what sort of relationship was expected from them to God and to those in The Service of God.
By the same token, I also plead with you all, to continue to exceed and excel in the expectations of the generosity of God for each day we are kept alive by walking rightly in His Presence.
Lord, you have been generous again to have given us the Grace to meet with today, please give us the privilege to return the favour as we claim to serve in your presence. Amen

Running's with Grace?
Testimony Time:-Good morning friends and welcome to another Testimony Time.
Jeremiah 29:11 confirms that God had already deposited His Grace in you. But to activate His Grace in you, you have to do your running's within His Grace, simply by walking according to His Commandments.
Let us remember the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48 who had suffered for twelve years with her sickness. Even with her health issue, she was still found among the faithful, walking within the Grace that God had deposited in her. As a result, she became healed of her condition when the Grace in her met with the Grace of God.
It then means, when you don't have any running with Grace, it takes the Special Grace of God to remedify the situation. And that may be too late before the omission on your part is discovered.
This would be quite unlike Jonah who out of nonchalance decided to abandon the Grace of God in him and refused to embark on a mission by God to go and preach in Nineveh. Instead Jonah began to make his way to Tarshish (Jonah 1) where God did not send him. It took the intervention of the Special Grace of God for the situation to be rectified. And this brought him in line to where he was destined to be, in the presence of the Lord.
The point is you may not also carry the same anointing like Jonah and that is where the danger is. Why don't you always seek and do your runs with the Grace in you? Remember, the woman with the issue of blood did not allow her circumstances to deprive her of working within His Grace for twelve solid years. Eventually, Grace met with Grace and her story changed for life as she became a constant reference point, also in prayers even till this day.
Today, make a decision and begin to do all your runs within the confine of His Grace and that is irrespective of your situation. And very surely, there must be transformation because the Grace deposited in you must meet with His Grace and that is the truth of the matter.
May the deposit of His Grace in us link us with His Special Grace in Jesus name. Amen
