Checking into Gods Presence... 

Happy Easter Sunday to everyone, would you all believe that Christ popularity rose even more in resurrection than all the plot that led to His crucifixion? 

So, where is Judas today and what happened to Pilate and his henchmen? I therefore wants to congratulate us for the victory of His resurrection because it is those that the Lord had restored that can only be empowered to see the beauty of this day (Psalm 145:20). 

Isaiah 46:6 says "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles". 

Today should therefore be seen as a Covenant, specially wrapped and delivered as a gift by God. Certainly, it has become an empowerment for us to continue to be the light unto the Gentiles. The Gentiles however represent a group of non–Jew who claims from Israelite heritage. 

It is also a term that is often used to describe outsiders. Although people see you as a Child of God, are you still an outsider in His Presence? And how do you see this Easter Sunday in terms of your presence before God? 

What does today represent as a gift to you? Does it remind you about His Covenant or is it another ploy to cast your vote on the illicit gain of yesterday? 

If indeed you have been restored through His death and resurrection so much that you can be a light in the camp of unbelievers, then you have the empowerment to do just that, nothing less! 

Any acts that violates this conduct makes one susceptible to the whims and caprices of the antichrist, and such person would be spiritually dead; he/she would then have been filled with unclean spirits. 

In Mark 1: 21-28, Jesus looked deeper into the issues with unclean spirit more than the outward rules. He identified them and cast out "spirits of uncleanliness" that have haunted their victims, spirits that have stunted or destroyed people’s relationships with one another and with God. 

“Do we have such "spirits of uncleanliness" among us today? Of course! Do we need to exorcise them from our midst if we are to be proclaimers of the Gospel of God? Definitely! No church can survive if these spirits remain healthy and strong in our midst because they will always bring confusion in their reign. 

These can only happen when you drop your armour as a Soldier of Christ. It starts by taking each day as a pinch of salt and by abandoning the Commandments of God. As a result, such a person would then begin to live in the camps of outsiders. 

On this much acclaimed Easter Sunday, I pray that we will begin to see Christ as our leading light and His glory will be our portion in Jesus name. As Christians, we will continue to live according to the rules and ordinances of our Lord through Christ who alone can strengthen us. Amen

Happy Easter Day celebration to everyone and may His journey in this Lenten Season link us back to Him. Amen

The 2024 Lenten Season is bringing us within the touching distance of Easter Day celebration and we can talk about Christ resurrection amidst the furore of His arrest, crucifixion and death.

And like every other passage in time, life itself has a beginning and an end whether we like it or not. If we now consider time to be passage, what method can we adopt in the practice of Christianity which can link us to the Creator of Time, other than such that will not nail Christ on the cross once again?

Are you marketing your flesh, cheating, or misusing the gifts of prophesies or position? Do the very standard of God you profess to keep and honour remain short in your life? Do people see Christ in you? Please note that if what you wear, profess and represent does not show Christ in you, you are merely a counterfeit and a caricature of Christianity.

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Romans 12:2-3

Lord, we pray that you will help us to be true replicas of Christ and not counterfeits. Let our journey with you from this day henceforth brings out a true identity in Christ in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Do have a marvelous Easter Day celebration in Jesus Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

A poem...

We have walked into another day and the night may simply be over weaved in the days presence, set standards, set from time but sweetened by the branches of days spent in Christ. 

Now that the day is here, sadly, the time is constantly set for the rise and fall... of sunshine but against the glory of another night. We call it a new day...now a very popular routine; good enough to make and unmake, a man set for the Lord's standard. 

Remember, how the night was here, but now the day is here. Very much like the sun; he could not stay, moving constantly! Time has simply taken over... Not according to the set standards, made by God from the beginning but we still call it a day, a very popular routine, often used to take God away from the equation. 

Until we become undressed purposely before His pleas, the Blood on the Cross, gleefully taken for granted, no longer able to remove, the most common stain grafted into the position of our heart. 

Craftily weaved in between, is time! Set, not for the sun this time, also not for the night and purposely not for the day... but for sons of man. The night falls and the sun rises, the night also comes enchantingly, and soon will fall on its back. 

The day goes in between them only to go as it had come. Yet, men are caught sleeping, still waiting for the unborn sun.

Today, you have a new day and a new opportunity to walk according to the Son, only you must work in His Right.

In this Passion Week we plead unto You oh Lord to fortify our faith in You, let our desires yearn towards the fulfillment of your precepts in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

We may have passed through the perils of the night, let me assure everyone today that we have simply become a new product of the Lord's investment. 

Ecclesiastes 4:9 suggests that God has already made provisions for the release of New Oil and New Grace into this New Day of Mercy. What we can do is to lend our endorsement to His Manner of approach and very truly become the symbols of what the Lord wants us to represent. 

That can only be occasioned if we allow the egos in us to die so that we can begin to follow His Rules and Commandments. (Deuteronomy 5:4-32 & Exodus 20: 1-17) But when can this be achievable? 

You must therefore be concerned if you have not given your life to Christ and you have a son or daughter who has suddenly turned 21. Has any of your children been married and started having children. Have you started noticing wrinkles on your once radiant face? 

Is your chest filled with unwanted grey hairs that show wisdom and evidence of what journey you have been through. When you start seeing this signs, please know that time is drawing close. But before you get to that conclusion, is there anything that you are doing today that 25years ago would not have bothered you? 

And or, is there anything you can die for now but will not make a difference in 25years time? Deuteronomy 6:1 encourages us to have a wholehearted commitment in the rules, service and believe in God. 

Therefore we must carefully access our stance on certain issues that brings us into conflict against our Christian Virtues. In that, there are some battles we engage in today which are of no importance to our Kingdom. 

Consequently, we should constantly measure our achievement not so much about what we thought we have lost and or what position we think we should be, but upon the gifts God has given us and where God is still willing to take us. 

You are more than our beginning and we do know that you extend beyond our end. Therefore Lord, we want you to be pleased and inhabit the spirit of our worship. Let Your Virtues be evidenced not only by our declaration but also in practice. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Learning about God’s kindness always requires reading and listening to the Words of God. However, any method you choose must not be without the necessity to believe and receive them with an act of obedience through faith. 

Otherwise, such efforts will ultimately produce no results. Believers can only be saved through messages of salvation if they do not allow their hearts to be hardened through unscrupulous desires. 

Strong faith must also be applied in relation to the manifestation of the miraculous power, signs, wonders and the gifts of the Spirit as promised by God. Any act that violates these tendencies can only see the overflow of the miracles of God in their lives to be significantly abated. 

Hebrews 4:1-2 states "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it". 

Let me therefore ask of what faith do you mix your Christian Faith with? Are you in the habit of doubting all messages of hope that will give you salvation? How do you feel when you hear the message of truth? Have you ever made any effort to leave your sinful ways? 

In this Lenten Season, Who would you like to dictate your pace in Christ, Satan or the Precepts of God? Christ needs you, His Promises to you are forever sure and all you need do is to believe in His Supremacy and you can be sure to enter into His Rest. 

So shall it be in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Today let me remind you that God sees your heart (Psalm 139:7). He knows exactly what we are capable of doing and there is no hiding place in His Presence. 

If God therefore takes into account every record before Him whether good or bad, why must we be so nonchalant in the way we handle our affairs before Him. 

And in this passion week, the choice between life and death is further explained in Deuteronomy 30:11-20. “This command I am giving you today is not too difficult for you, and it is not beyond your reach. It is not kept in heaven, so distant that you must ask, ‘Who will go up to heaven and bring it down so we can hear it and obey?’ 

It is not kept beyond the sea, so far away that you must ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to bring it to us so we can hear it and obey?’ No, the message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can obey it. 

Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster. For I command you this day to love the Lord your God and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in his ways. 

If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy. “But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods, then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. 

You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. 

Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. 

And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Amen

Testimony Time Teasers Today:- 

On this Palm Sunday and during this 2024 Lenten Season, l want to encourage you all to worship the Lord following the principles of: 

“Come, See, Go, Tell.

Do you know that:

What we hear affects what we know?

What we know influences what we believe?

What we believe impacts what we do?

That’s why it is so important to listen to God’s truth. 

“So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

And throughout the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), we see Jesus inviting His followers to “come and see,” to “go and tell,” and to “listen and understand.”

Paul explains why “going and telling” matters in his letter to the Romans:

“For ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? 

And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? 

That is why the Scriptures say, ‘How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!’” Romans‬ ‭10:13-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

So what is this “Good News”?

To truly understand it, let’s first look at the bad news: we’ve all messed up. Our sin separates us from a good and holy God, and there’s nothing we can do to bridge that gap.

Now, the good news: God loves us so much that He has already made a way for us. He put on skin, paid the ultimate price by dying a criminal’s death (even though He was innocent), and has conquered the grave by rising again. He has granted us the right to become His!

This is why “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

So right now, take a moment and thank God for the gift of His Word, and the ability to receive His Good News. Then, ask Him to strengthen your faith by showing you how to share your hope with others.”

I pray that Christ reasons for His persecution, crucifixion and resurrection will not be in vain upon us and His glory will forever shine upon us in Jesus Name. Amen
