DILIGENT

DATE 📅 30th September, 2022 TOPIC Diligent  LIVING SCRIPTURE Proverbs 22:29 KJV Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. The life of father Abraham speaks volumes in terms of a diligent man that onced walked the surface of the earth with the maker of the Heavens and the earth. He was very focused and resourceful, his movements was like a geographer paying close detail to every tasks and work he found to engage in. God walked with him on his journey through the earth and saw that he was a man to work with! God does not work with lazy or idle men but He seeks men who are diligent with even a little. Abraham was committed to the things of God, he never murmured nor disrespected the LORD but rather he said yes to God's every will. He left his father's country in Genesis 12 to a place God has prepared for him. Father Abraham built a trust system with God that made him seat with kings and was blessed wit

GREAT

Date 📅 29th SEPTEMBER, 2022 Topic GREAT Living Scripture Job 37:14 KJV Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. A certain man long ago was very wealthy and he had great possessions. He loved God and had the fear of God in him. But something happened along the way, he lost everything in a day, sad news and bad news kept hitting him hard! All his children died, his status crumbled before his eyes, businesses washed away, he became a reject in the community. But in a time when God's hand is involved, greatness is assured at the end of the road. This man thought of many things and lamented over his entire life. His wife told him to willfully blame God, sin against the LORD and curse the maker of the universe in order to end his life and suffering and shame. But he endured the hardship process and the LORD restored him greatly more than before. True greatness comes from the LORD and not men. Job acknowledged how great our God is.  Men became Great

GLORIOUS GOD

Date 📅 28th SEPTEMBER, 2022 Topic GLORIOUS GOD Living Scripture Ephesians 1:20-21 KJV Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, [21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: Our Heavenly Father is a glorious God. He raised Christ Jesus from the dead and gave him eternal dominion when he set him at His own right hand in heavenly places. Christ Jesus pleased the Father in his assignment here on earth and received of the glory of God. This is what we share in Christ Jesus when we receive him, follow him and live for him.  There were but a few men in the bible who saw Jesus in the flesh but left him because of the lust of flesh and self. The rich young ruler failed to leave his earthly treasures to follow Jesus and he never tasted of the glory of God that Christ Jesus received from the Fat

THE SON OF GOD

DATE 📅 27th September, 2022 TOPIC The Son of God LIVING SCRIPTURE John 6:69 KJV And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Glory to the LORD our God the creator of the heavens and the earth and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. A certain man lived here on earth not for himself but for the world. He was a carpenter's son and he loved what he did. He faced many temptations but sinned not because of the fear of the LORD, his words were few and yet it left many puzzled and thinking! His true identity was hidden from the natural eyes because of man's carnal desires and expectations. He was a loving man both to his mother and siblings, he showed them love and care. He was never careless with anything or anyone. He lived a life of peace, filled with spiritual lessons. When he clocked 30years he began his ministry and was baptized with the Holy Ghost after the Baptism of repentance. He moved by the leading of the Holy Spirit, full

REJOICE AGAIN

DATE 📅 26th SEPTEMBER, 2022 TOPIC REJOICE AGAIN LIVING SCRIPTURE Philippians 4:4 KJV Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. A heart of Thanksgiving is a heart full of Joy. And it takes the baptism of the Holy Spirit to have a free spirit that can remember the name of the LORD. Romans 14:17 KJV - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. It was the coming of Christ Jesus that brought about hope and glory to mankind. Satan had robbed many of their joy but the first thing Christ restored was the joy of salvation. Rejoice that you are saved from sin and death. Worship and praise the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness, whether in good times or sour times, He remains God no matter what comes our way, Ephesians 5:19 KJV Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; A joyful heart holds no grudge, no malice kept, forgives easily and ste

GIVE TO THE LORD

Date 📅 24th September, 2022 Topic Give to the LORD  Living Scripture Psalm 29:1-2 KJV Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. [2] Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. The psalmist spent most of His fellowship and worship in thanksgiving, he developed the art of worship with instruments of grace. King David was a radical thanksgiver, he never stopped glorifying the Lord, he acknowledged that it was God who brought him out from the bush and took him to the throne of Judah and Israel. He gave God his best and God made him most blessed. Every true worshipper here on earth must search deeply to give to God what is due! As children of God, what have we given to the LORD? Our money is not enough, material things can't equate to His greatness. Jesus Christ taught his sheep that our love, strength, soul and all that makes us who we are should be unto the LORD. God is the reason Christ Jesus c

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in

LIGHT

Date 📅 22nd September, 2022 Topic LIGHT  Living Scripture Matthew 5:16 KJV Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Every true child of God belongs to the one true Light Himself, our Heavenly Father. James 1:17 KJV - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Isn't that wonderful? To carry more than just our human nature and organs about, but to carry the presence of the Living God everywhere is a rare privilege.  Our Lord Jesus Christ taught in this wise that we should let our lights shine brightly as a testimony for others to see that we are truly transformed from darkness into His marvelous Light. The Light of God in is drives away darkness; John 1:5 KJV - And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. When God's light dwells in us and we let it shine th

YOUR CROSS

DATE 📅 21st September, 2022 TOPIC Your Cross LIVING SCRIPTURE Luke 9:23 KJV And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. The christian race needs total concentration and each believer must take their track. No one can run your race for you neither can they carry your cross for you. Your Cross is your portion in the journey of life and only true christians finish well with theirs. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught the people and as many that will believe in Him the importance of the cross. He puts it as a choice before us; if any man will follow me, let him deny the flesh (carnal desires and strong lust) and take his or her portion of assignments and tasks everyday and follow in (Christ's) footsteps. Your Cross as a believer requires determination, because a little distraction can lead to failure and losing direction. Demas was serving under Apostle Paul but after a while, he went astray - 2 Timoth

Reign With Him

Date 📅 20th September, 2022 Topic   Reign With Him Living Scripture 2 Timothy 2:12 KJV If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: The Life of our Lord Jesus Christ here on earth was a perfect kind, filled with spiritual and physical works (proofs). He is the head of everything but all these came as a result of a finished work and now He sits and reigns with God Almighty. As children of God we need to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, it is necessary for every believer to finish well. Many have reigned with Christ and many will reign with Him here on earth and also in heaven at the right hand of our Heavenly Father. To reign with Christ Jesus here on earth is to live a life of faith, righteousness, holiness and grace, void of sin. We have dominion in Christ Jesus, that's the believer's authority over everything. It is not until death hits man before he can partake in the reign of Christ, but right here and now.

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati

Not my Feet Only

Date 📅 17th September, 2022 Topic Not my Feet Only  Living Scripture   John 13:8-9 KJV Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. [9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Feet Washing is very scriptural and spiritual, it should be done with a pure heart, clean hands by a willing heart ready to serve God's children just as our Lord Jesus did with the twelve. It is not a job for the prideful but for servant-leaders and disciples. It signifies both spiritual and physical acceptance into the body of Christ, a lawful entrance into Him to partake of His glory and power. Physically washing your feet shows cleanliness, and readiness to enter new grounds. In the Jewish tradition it also serves as acceptance into one's home.  Simon Peter felt he was honoring the Lord by refusing Christ Jesus to wash his feet. Which meant he was not willing to enter into

THE POTTER'S WORK

Date 📅 16th September, 2022 Topic The Potter's Work Living Scripture Isaiah 64:8 KJV But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.  Study also (Jeremiah 18:1-6) King David was a special man, he understood the ways of the LORD and prospered by it. He observed the heavens and the earth then began meditating on the works of God - Psalm 19:1 KJV: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Also he went further to worship God in Psalm 8:3-4 KJV - When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; [4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? David knew his place and frame that's why he surrendered all he had to serving the LORD. How great are the works of the LORD God, nothing was made without Him, The creator of creation. The potter plays the most important role in the li

PERFECT IN HEART

Date 📅 15th September, 2022 Topic PERFECT IN HEART Living Scripture Matthew 5:48 KJV Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. The nature of God and ways are perfect, He doesn't bend for anyone or anything. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Perfect when it comes to holiness, faithful to all who seeks Him. Indeed our God is a perfect example of a model design our hearts should be constructed after. Many think it's impossible to be perfect in heart and deny themselves the privilege of serving the Lord in faith that pleases our Heavenly Father. Adam was the first man and he was perfect before the LORD until his disobedience and fall. But that was not the end of maturity, men of old, Noah served God in a time of disobedience and deep sin, Father Abraham was perfect in service, King David, Daniel, and until the time of Jesus Christ. He pleased God with His life even to the cross. Perfect in worship, perfect in forgiveness,

STUCK BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS

Date 📅 14th September, 2022 Topic Stuck Between Two Opinions? Living Scripture 1 Kings 18:21 KJV And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught in the Holy scripture that our focus and concentration should be on God the Heavenly Father and He said also in Matthew 6:22 KJV -The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. The children of Israel were confused of whom to worship because of their lusts and unstable heart's conditions. They belonged to God the Most High but their eyes and hearts where far from God. No one can divide his or her vision to concentrate on two opinions when it comes to worship.  Many believers today want to be called christians and still be free to serve other things such as cultural beliefs tied to idolatry, traditional

A Sign of Relief

Date 📅 13th September, 2022 Topic A Sign of Relief Living Scripture 1 Kings 18:44 KJV And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. The children of Israel were under punishment for their disobedience and Shakey hearts. At the word of LORD via the mouth of Prophet Elijah the punishment was pronounced and until they repented before God sent them a sign of relief. It was very difficult and impossible to obtain water as there was no rain for three and the half years. The Streams dried up, springs and rivers too and every fresh water means that man could drink from was licked dry. King Ahab was chosen by God to reign over Israel but his heart was turned away and towards Baal the god of his wife Queen Jezebel the terrible. Our decisions matters a lot, whom we marry, communicate secrets to, di

DAILY WITH GOD

Date 📅 9th September, 2022 Topic DAILY WITH GOD Living Scripture Psalm 1:2 KJV But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Our Lord Jesus Christ set a standard for us His children to daily walk and be with the Father. Fellowship and worship is not only on selected days either Sunday or Saturday or any day of the week. But every blessed day of our lives we are to acknowledge God by meditating on His Words of victory and living daily in God's presence. Consistent walking with the Lord gave Apostle Paul the manifold revelations he had during his days of ministry. It is a choice to either live daily with the Lord or occasionally fellowship with God. The outcome of true worship and daily fellowship with God brings about constant testimony in the live of God's children. Only true worshippers who seek after the LORD that can access His Presence. In Joshua 1:8 we are instructed to make use of God's word day and night, whi

FAITH

Date 📅 8th September, 2022 Topic Faith Living Scripture Hebrews 10:38 KJV Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. There is a language that pleases our Heavenly Father, and it is the language of faith. Every profitable child of God from the beginning of time spoke and lived by faith. They accomplished much because they pleased God. We are meant for greatness and only through faith therein lies our achievements. Faith comes alive when we listen to the voice of Christ Jesus through the Holy scripture and also when we believe what God's word says. Our anchor scripture reads that an upright man i.e. a man that fears God and lives in righteousness is sustained through life by faith but a backsliding christian or a lukewarm believer irritates the soul of Jesus. Faith is the pillar of both spiritual and physical foundations. God spoke by faith and created the Sun, the Moon and the stars, which till date are still stan

PREVENTING DESPERATION

DATE 📅 7th September, 2022 TOPIC Preventing Desperation LIVING SCRIPTURE Job 6:26 KJV Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind? As children of God we must not lose hope because the absence of hope in a man's life is the invitation to desperation. And a desperate man is a hopeless man, anything goes for such an individual. God's word must find rest within our hearts to increase our faith and build our belief system and hope. Any desperate act made by a child of God will eventually lead to ruin and losses. Desperation can lead to grave mistakes that can affect generations to come if not properly handled and cured. The children of Israel were desperate (hopeless) and filled with lustful desires because they focused more on the government of neighboring countries. They lost all confidence in the reign of the Living God and their desperation led to the first king in Israel. Due to desperation Israel committed both phy

Living Single

Date 📅 6th September, 2022 Topic Living Single  Living Scripture Matthew 6:22 KJV The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. The most single lifestyle which is diverse in God is the desire of the heart which is fully focused on Jesus Christ, the author and the finisher of our faith. Our Lord Jesus Christ lived a successful single life of faith. Many are living outside of faith because any idea or thought or words outside of Christ is not rooted to the spiritual life of faith that our Heavenly Father seeks.  Only few believers actually follow this precept of God which governs our relationship with God. The Father seeks men of light as He is the Father of Lights. When our source remains constant then our outcomes will be manifestations. Many christians are too exposed to the corruption of science and discoveries that they tend to have mixed beliefs and some often contradict the gospel of Christ. Every true spir

GROWING UP

Date 📅 5th September, 2022 Topic Growing Up Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:1-2 KJV Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, [2] As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: A true Christian is meant to grow just like an infant does; who grows into a child, then a teenager, a youth and a fully grown adult. But to get to all these stages a process occurs which is called Growing Up. The grace of God that covers us as children under our parents is for while, we need to develope ourselves in Christ. We are not meant to remain spiritual infants forever but meant to desire the sincere milk (nourishment filled with spiritual vitamins and minerals) of the Word of God. We are meant to feed on the vitality of what Christ Jesus gives to the church. Without the express word of God at work in us, deception and all kinds of sins will set in and ruin our lives. To do away with our old man (old w

GRACE

DATE 📅 3rd SEPTEMBER, 2022 TOPIC GRACE LIVING SCRIPTURE Ephesians 2:8 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Man is nothing without the express grace of our LORD Jesus Christ. The introduction of Christ Jesus to this world brought about grace and truth (John 1:14). The anchor scripture reads "for it is by grace (undeserved favor and help) from God to man that we are saved. This morning, God wants us to know and understand that we are His workmanship and a work in progress. We should not leave God's workshop and think we can fend for ourselves but wholly lean on God.  God's grace is man's sustainability and capacity to live both life and destiny in the spiritual and in the physical. Our LORD Jesus Christ walked by the grace of Our Heavenly Father, and totally depended on Him for everything and anything. In our strength let Jesus Christ be our help, and in our weaknesses let Him be our strength. For b
