Bible verse: John 5:19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Message
How is your lifestyle, your commitment, your sincerity, your prayer life your brutality especially in the presence of your children?
What about telling lies, gossiping, backbiting?
Yes! your children will copy whatsoever you are doing and will surely take after you because you are the first contact.
Jesus said "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
An orange tree will not produce mangoes neither will tomatoes be harvested from okra tree.
Your children will copy whatsoever you are doing as you are their Mentor.
What have you inherited from your parents and your Father in heaven?
Do they have any impact in your behaviour and lifestyle?
What legacy are you living behind for your children - a Christ-like lifestyle or worldly lifestyle where emphasis is laid on what you possess in this world?

Prayer
Dear Lord, purge my life completely from lust of the flesh, lust of eyes and boastful pride of life and grant me the grace to accept my limits
and keep me from all unclean thoughts in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 10:6
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked

Message
Violence is defined as strength of emotion - an unjust, unwarranted, or unlawful display of force, especially such as tends to overawe or intimidate.
Brethren, if you will live a good and righteous life as defined by the Scriptures, God will favor your causes and plans with prosperity.
He will open doors and grant you success with unmerited influences and power. You will be protected.

On the other hand, violence is programmed upon the wicked especially those who do not care for God or His ways, those who love the things of the world above God, those who walk in unholiness and killers of their brethren.

The violence that will "covereth the mouth of the wicked" includes economic disaster, health problems, financial failures, professional loss, family dysfunction, mental instability and any other troubles that God is justified to pour out upon such foolish sinners.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I beg for mercy for any wickedness I have knowingly and/or unknowingly committed.
Grant me the confidence, boldness and ability to seek, in every part of my live, to be fair, good, right, and righteous, to hate sin, not to be tormented to sin in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Exodus 19:5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

Message
Beloveth, a treasure is something searched for - wealth such as money, jewels, or precious metals, or other valuable objects stored up or hoarded.
To obtain a treasure you will make great sacrifices and when found is carefully guarded.
It is written: "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
If you will obey God's voice indeed, and keep His covenant, God has promised to make you His peculiar treasure.
Yes! you will be cherished by God. He will take pride and a sense in you as His possession. He will guard you jealously, and spread His arms round you.
God will protect those who trust and obey Him and value them as the apple of His eye.
And when you face storms of life the presence of God will provide a sense of security.

Prayer
Gracious God, thank You for the privilege of being Your possession and Your peculiar treasure.
Grant me the spirit, the strength, the power and the confidence to walk with integrity, to do what You say, to keep Your covenant, do what is right and refuse to be persuaded by others in Jesus name.
Thank You Lord, for cherishing me.

Bible verse: Romans 12:2 contd.
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.

Message
Beloveth, the world that you should not be conformed to is the world system of sin, pride, ambition, pleasure and power that sinful man has built up under Satan and his agencies.
If you are a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of worldly pleasure, intrinsic goods and self-gratification, and fully dependent on lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life or have unforgiving heart and/or unguarded mouth, forsake of godliness you have conformed to this world. You need be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Transformation is understood as an outcome of a person's self-discipline, strong determination, ardent obedience and avoidance of sin.
Therefore to be transformed and renew your mind:
- you need to continually be feeding on the life giving Word of God
- allow the Word of God to dominate and fill your thoughts
- train your brain to concentrate on the things of God by replacing self-focused thinking with a God-focused mindset
- put God's priorities ahead of your priorities and ahead of the world's priorities.
- do not allow your carnal senses to control your mind instead let your mind be focused on doing the will of God
- change your selfish and worldly thoughts
- avoid those materialistic and hedonistic attitudes and spend fewer time and money on your outward appearance because God searches only the mind
- stop thinking like the world and forsake gossiping, back-biting, deceit and evil speaking
- stop counting on your achievements, affluence, appearance and maintain what God say you are.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I ask You to guard and direct my mind, to let me make decisions based on godly convictions, to stop thinking as the world thinks to recognize and overcome the source of self-focusing and self-defeating thoughts in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Romans 12:2
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.

Message
Conformity is creating your own heaven here on earth by pursing fame, power, and wanting to become materially rich no matter by which means - cheating, fraud, devilish sacrifices, lies, manipulation or plotting of evil etc.
Conformity to this world is also virtually the same as to committing spiritual defection and it puts you at variance or enmity with God.
You cannot love the world and love God at the same time, you have to choose between this world or God.
Beloveth, do not forget that whatever thoughts you allow your mind to dwell on will make an impact on your life - as a man thinketh so he is.
You are conformed to this world if you allow people to judge you by your physical features, your personality, your public image, your achievements, your success, the cars you ride, the villas you own and affluence.
If you are conformed to this world and you love the world you thereby displease your God.
Remember that you brought nothing to this world and you shall take nothing along with you when the Lord shall call you back home.

The non-conformity of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refusing to conform to what everyone was doing in front of Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue brought instant attention and reaction from the people and from the king himself.
Whatsoever you are conformed to - back bitting, gossip, evil speaking, filthy talks, bearing of false witnesses will raise the attention of your environment.

Prayer
Dear Father, change me from the inside out, renew and reconstruct my soul, destroy utterly my old habits and let me be transformed by the renewing of my mind while continually feeding on the life-giving Word of God in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 5:21
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord , and he pondereth all his goings.

Message
Beloveth, no man except God is perfect and no man can boldly confirm that he is without sin.
If men do not directly discover your sin, yet God himself is fully aware of it and He will judge accordingly by exposing it or punishing you directly Himself. You have yourself to blame and not the devil.
Do not let others deceive you and do not deceive or lie to yourself about not getting caught in that atrocity you term secret.
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Therefore watch out and do not live on assumptions and over confidence.

Judah privately visited a disguised daughter-in-law as harlot in Timnath (Gen. 38:16-24) and thought he could go away with it.
Likewise David was confident of covering his adultery (2 Sam 12).
Both David and Judah thought they have hidden their atrocities yet they were exposed to the people.

Beloveth, you need to acknowledge your sins and repent and ask God for forgiveness, not playing smart because your sin will find you out and expose you when and where you are not expecting.

Prayer
Dear Lord, blow away the ashes of unbelief and self-centeredness from my mind and let Your presence bless my life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Psalms 112:1-2
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Message
Thank God that because of Jesus Christ, the love, grace and mercy of God you embrace another beautiful weekend of praises and jubilation.
The fact that God is reaching out to you with His love and kindness means that those problems, failures and turbulence have become the things of the past provided you have the fear of the Lord in your blood.
Whatsoever you are undertaking from this moment and in whichever situation let the fear of the Lord reign in your life because the fear of the Lord leads to hatred for sin and a strong desire for holiness and an assurance of walking in the light of God.
Blessings, elevation and victory are the rewards of keeping God's commandments.
Beloveth, let us therefore raise our voices and clap our hands to praise the Lord for He has given to us a brand new day.
Celebrate Him with your dances, for you are one of the generation of the upright to be blessed.

Prayer
Oh everlasting Father, allow me to walk in Your light, to have at all time and in every circumstance the fear of the Lord because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge and the key to heavenly wealth and riches.
