Bible verse: Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Message
Another month is coming to an end and yet God's children are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
God is asking us to come closer to Him, fellowship with Him, know His will, His laws and His promises for us.
On this planet earth, there is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and no knowledge of God in the land; there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery, breaking of all bounds and bloodshed follows bloodshed in every continent.
Beloveth, at this end time, it is the knowledge of God that must flourish in our hearts if He is going to make us what He wants us to be.

God will make our pastors responsible for His people rejecting knowledge because they failed to feed His people with His Word and His people refusing to hear and obey His word.
Instead they are conformed with the doctrine of churches, busy feeding their individual greed, blindfolding His people, and branding them.
Consequently, His people lack having a real true experience with Him that would save, bring deliverance, and joyful fulfillment.
Brethren, You need not flirt with temptations but need to readily and openly confess your guilt while laying up your treasures in heaven, not on this planet earth.

Prayer
Everlasting Father, kindly share your knowledge with me, making me aware of what is meant to be, permitting my soul to understand it, and wisdom to agree with its outcome.
I pray that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened, so that I will know what is the hope of Your calling, the riches of the Your glory, the surpassing greatness of Your power in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Deuteronomy 15:7
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

Message
Beloveth, you are to have a special place in your heart for the poor, downtrodden, and oppressed.
Your gift must not just be money, it could be training, or a help for a new job, or motivation and encouragement, or your time and advices or sending someone into one of the trailer parks to live.
Yes! you can help even one person change his/her life through your sacrificial gifts believing that whatever is done there will follow a consequence to your action.
Let us, therefore, do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith solely because we love to do the right thing.
When you give to the poor you are giving to our Lord.

Prayer
Father, I thank you that you will never stop doing good to me.
Grant me the spirit to follow Your footstep in doing good to the brethren within my gates.
I pray that You will open my eyes to see all the goodness that surrounds giving in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Message
When we talk like the world, act very worldly in our everyday lives, and do not have much of a testimony of holiness it will be very difficult to successfully spread the word of God and convince those who are not saved.
Your relationship with God, the blessings and favour of the Lord upon your life, supported with the scriptures are your soul-winning instruments.

Greed, flattery, every insidious form and/or living with indwelling sins are things that will not allow you or grant you the confidence of proclaiming the power of God unto salvation.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray that the Holy Spirit will provoke divine recommendations that will change the life of every soul I reach out to in Jesus name.I will souls to your kingdom

Bible verse: Proverbs 29:5
A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

Message
Who doesn't want to hear something nice about himself?
Yes! there is one sinful thing that we all cannot get enough of and that is flattery.
It can almost be an addiction to always want to hear about how great you are.
However, there is a big difference between someone just saying something nice to you and the person who anxiously is waiting to butter you up - flattering.

Flattery is a lie, a deceit, masquerading as encouragement, from a selfish motive to manipulate you in order to achieve the flatterer's covert purpose.
Yes! it is a demonic, hidden trap, foot-ensnaring sin-encumbrance not only for you but for others.
Whosoever engage himself/herself in flattering game is nothing but an agent of the devil because flattering lips are the expression of the corrupt and deceitful heart of man. As you well know, Satan is a specialist for deception.

Beloveth, are there areas where you are allowing yourself to be seduced by flattery because your pride finds it enticing?
Is there any relationship, or perhaps relational habit in your live, where you employ manipulative flattery to grease the wheels of your own advancement or another's discredit?
Are you one of those that even, if you know that flattery is disingenuous but doesn't even matter as long as it enhances your image in the eyes of others or simply gives you a buzz from the fact that someone thinks you important enough to flatter?
Remembder that all flattery will be dealt with by the Lord for it is written, "The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things".

Therefore, meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips and no matter how pleasant it is to hear flattery, look out and get away from him that wants to seduce or manipulate you to do what you should not.

Prayer
Oh gracious God, help me to clothe myself with humility toward others, not to live selfishly looking only to my own interests.
Guide and protect me if I am tempted to be a manipulative flatterer or pathetically vulnerable to being manipulated by flattery in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 1 Thessalonians 2:5
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

Message
The word flattery means to make a favorable impression for a selfish purpose.
It touches such areas as insincere compliments, praise given that we do not mean, using emotional manipulation, and insincerity as a matter of policy.
Going through the scripturs it was clear and by contrast, Paul was a plain-spoken man.
He said what he meant and meant what he said - What about you?
Do people have to wonder of what you did really mean by that which you said or did?
Are you one those who put on a mask to cover up their real intentions?
Are you trying to please people with your words and actions?
Or a specialist in sugar-coating the truth?
Do you refuse to speak hard truth, or do flip-flops on crucial issues, or obedient when convenient and/or say what people want to hear?
Then you are a man-pleaser and shall be compared to an actor wearing a mask.
Beloveth, like an actor wearing a mask, many people appear to be one thing while in fact they are something else entirely.
They say and do things that appear to be generous and even magnanimous to gain a personal advantage.

Beloveth, you are to emulate Paul and be bold to preach the gospel as directed by the Holy Spirit.
His objective was to declare the truth. He did not come to the Thessalonians with a pretext of preaching the gospel in order that he might become wealthy as a result or would win their applause and to obtain the approbation of God whatever people might think of it.
Yes! he did not have a motive of making financial gain like those false pastors and preachers.

Prayer
Oh Lord, grant me a faith, manifesting itself in obedience to Your word, a love which labors and a hope that gives me patience.
As I walk close to You at this time may Your love be like a compass that gives me direction in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ecclesiastes 5:10
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Message
The Bible uses several words for greed. One means, literally, the love of silver.
Greed is not primarily concerned with amount, but rather with attitude and motives.
Greed puts a wrong value on temporal things. It treats temporal things as if they will and we will endure on earth forever.
All is nothing but vanity.
In fact, we could be called back to our God today or all our things could be taken from us instantly.
Glory be unto God for His kindness and mercies for preserving our souls despite our greedy, unfaithful and wicked hearts.
Beloveth, there is no prize for being the richest man in the cemetery the one who dies with the most expensive luxury, jewels, castles or cars doesn't really win - no assurance that he/she will not have eternal life in hell fire.

Therefore, your greed should be running after holiness, godliness, procession of the word of God, the meditation thereon and application of the word in your character and lifestyle.
Remember that those who prefer the broad highway, those who allow themselves to Satan captivity, those who prefer to purchase from those false prophets, those who are self-centered and are transformed to this world, those wicked souls will be left behind for eternal fellowship with Satan in hell fire because the love of silver will not pave way to eternal life.

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, forgive me for the times that I have excused sin instead of repenting and turning back to You.
Forgive and have mercy on me if I have loved silver and wealth and lust of the flesh, of eyes and boastful pride of life than the treasures of heaven in Jesus name.

Bible verse: James 1:2-4
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Message
When all is falling around you and you cannot see the light for the darkness, cast all unto God and believe him.
When troubles and tribulations come your way let your focus be on the almighty Father with thanksgiving.
When you go through a terrible storm where it looks like man is correct and these seems to be no remedy; regroup, refocus, rejoice, give God the final say and have faith in him.
Be careful that you do not allow Satan to distract you from your very purpose in being left in this world.
Beloveth,trials are equal to the testing of your faith and God can use trials to test us in your faith.
But know that the Lord is your greatest assurance and you can confidently live in God's love because he will never fail you.

Prayer
Dear gracious God, remove the garment of lack, and let the testing of my faith produce steadfastness and uncommon favour in Jesus name.
Give me the grace to overcome any immoral fleshly activity in my life and any pride that would cause me to think myself more deserving or better than others.
Fill me with thankfulness instead of jealousy and envy of others or wanting to be like them or having what they have in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Luke 12:13
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

Message
If the grammar of your life has ever been predominately I want, I need, I hope, I achieved, I accomplished, or use things and other people to fill the hole inside you or have a desire that that which is pleasant to the eyes is appealing to your selfish desires then you have worn the garment of greed.
Therefore, take care and be on your guard against all kinds of greed.
Beloveth, when you believe yourself to be deficient, when you lose belief in yourself, when you feel you are not enough, and have the inability to be reconciled to your limits and want more, need more or possess more then you are greedy.
You can also be greedy for intangible things, like prestige, inheritance, pleasure or power.
But greed can also be about time, attention, approval, love, knowledge, control, being right or being in charge.

As a child of God, you have to be very careful and be at alert because greed can turn love into lust, leisure into sloth, hunger into gluttony, honor into pride, righteous indignation into anger and admiration into envy.

Prayer
Dear everlasting Father, grant me be ability to be able to deal with my own feelings of deficit and emptiness.
Create, oh Lord, a red sea between me and any sinful temptation appealing to my selfish desires in Jesus name.
