Bible verse: Exodus 33:14
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Message
Beloveth, we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God and therefore we are inheritance of His presence.
The presence of God will radically change your live, will give power to both your words and your actions.
Imagine the presence of the president of your country at your birthday celebration - it will surely booster a powerful effect. Then how much greater is the impact of the awesome power of the presence of God?
Yes! God’s presence will bring favour and great blessings. Remember when the ark of God was with the family of Obed-Edom for three months, the Lord blessed his household and everything he had.

But because God has promised He will never leave you or forsake you, you can be assured of His constant presence whether you are struggling with a painful situation or just too busy to notice He is near.
Do not allow sin to block your sense of God's presence in your life.
if you walk with the Lord in obedience and faith His presence will sustains you, especially during trials because the joy of the Lord shall be your strength.

Prayer
Father, I pray that You will visit me, and make Your presence known in my life.
Help me to cultivate Your presence in my life and to to live in Your presence in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Psalms 102:13
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

Message
Favor is the supernatural touch of God upon your life and work. It is an incredible blessing from Him.

It is favor that marks ones life as special.
It is favour that causes you and your entire life to be lifted up above the ordinary. Yes! Gods favour will mark your life as special.
When favour locates you, protocols are broken, supernatural things start happening in your life.
Those who saw you yesterday will be baffled to see the glory of God upon your life.
Do not complain, do not murmur and never doubt that your time of favour is knocking.
At the set time, God caused the king not to sleep because it was time to favour Mordecai.
Beloveth, be cool, be calm and be contented. God did note your name in His book of remembrance.
Though it tarry, with God's tender mercies and His divine favour upon your life and according to the degree of your righteousness you will receive from Him at the appointed time.
The only thing you have to know and accept is that God moves in His own time and you have got to be willing to trust God.
It is not over until God says it is over therefore wake up with confidence in the Lord.

Prayer
Oh dearest Father, I open myself to Heaven's rain, every day of my life so my life will be like a watered garden, I ask for Your continuous guidance and unmerited favour in Jesus name.

Bible verse: John 9:18
But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

Message
Beloveth, you have been trying asking God for breakthrough, for divine favour yet it seemed heaven has shut up.
You have tried to survive, tried to get that job or that business but all in vain.
With your frustration you have blame others, or God for your failures. You have the temptation talk and act like the world but Holy spirit has guided you and avert every ungodly temptation.
Yes! you have become the laughing stock of the environment, of friends, of families, of neighbours and many have forsaken you and others have avoided you.

When the manifestation of your requests does not come instantaneously, or at your expected time frame, do not loose hope or be discouraged instead start praising God because God is preparing something special which He will unveil at His own time and when He deems it for you.
When God looks into your issue and grants it a turn around you will be marveled. Eyes have not seen because they thought nothing good will ever come out of you.
That man was blind from birth. He was a cast away and without a rosy future.
But Jesus came and turn everything around.
They cannot believe concerning him, that he had been blind. His parent were dumbfounded.
Yes! No one will believe your miracles when Jesus shall come to your aid and set you free from all obstacles, from financial handicaps, from chains limiting your progress and elevation.
Yes, you will receive favour and protection from above.
But don't forget to give God the glory and do not allow pride to overturn your blessings.

Prayer
Gracious God, put me in the right location where I will be seen and remembered for good by Your divine arrangement in Jesus name.
Thank You Lord, that You are indeed more than enough for me.

Bible verse: John 9:2
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Message
Beloveth, when things happen to you, or when you face calamities, failures etc unnecessary questions start cropping up.
- who did sin?
- what are the roots of what is happening?
- whom have you offended?
- could it be ancestral curses, parental curses or negligence?
The assumption always is that if people suffer, then they must have done something bad to deserve it while some people might attach it to the work of the devil.

Joseph was sold into slavery, falsely accused by his master's wife, thrown into prison, and left there to rot. From that position he rose to become the prime minister of the foreign country.
Beloveth, as Jesus rightly said that these things might happen to you for God to glorify His precious name.
God is powerful enough to take your present suffering that may last several years and use it as fodder to create greater blessing as was the case of Joseph. All you need is endurance.

Yes!, when God turns things around, friends and neighbors will not believe their eyes because they will be stuck in the past, blindfolded at seeing those failures, those shortcomings and/or those disappointments of the past.
They wouldn't see the evidence of God's transforming love in your life.

Beloveth, no matter the circumstances, or whatsoever you are going through, do not lean on your own understanding, on your own power or knowledge because when you think you are are strong, or righteous or you think you have sufficient faith and understanding to make it on your own or the help of man that is when you are sure to come up short.
Put your trust, your hope and understanding on the Lord. He will establish you, reshape your life and make you a special testimony so that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I have no power of my own, without You I will be lost in this cruel world.
Entreat Your favor with my whole heart and let Your grace be sufficient for me and let Your strength make me perfect in all my weakness in the name of Jesus.

Bible verse: John 8:7 contd
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Message
Sin is evil and remember that sin is sin - big or small.
Though God loves you, His holiness is such that He cannot live with evil.
Do not forget that you cannot sin without consequences.
The question is: what are the consequences of sin?
Beloveth, the consequence of sin as it is written is death.
With sin:
- you will be separated from God; as is written in Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
- you will lose your spiritual sharpness.
- you will reap the destruction of your body and soul.
- you will be subjected to catastrophic events because you choose to run your life at your own will separated from God.
Furthermore sin will:
- deprive you of spiritual strength and comfort and will hinder your spiritual walk
- rob you of joy, peace and consolation
- take away excitement and causes you to lose the joy of your salvation.
- rob you of confidence in your prayer life
- delay answer to your prayer and can cause your prayers to be unanswered.
- cause you to be fearful and rob you of your boldness and the anticipation of the end-time and Christ's second coming.
Beloveth, confession is the only thing that can bring you back to God and the open the right path of righteousness.

Prayer
Dear Lord, You have promised that if we will confess our sin, You will forgive us and make us clean again.
Lord, I truly need Your forgiveness. Repentance is on my heart and lips; kindly root out the darkness and light up my life with Your holy presence in Jesus name.

Bible verse: John 8:7 contd
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Message
Sin is the transgression of the Law of God and it is written " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God".
Yes! your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.
Beloveth, your soul cannot change until it is influenced by a healthy spirit and nothing happens until your spirit is first empowered by the life of God.
The good news is that Jesus solved our sin problem by becoming sin for us so that for those who have repented and trusted in Him can be seen as having the same righteousness as Christ does.
There are those other sins you might term small that you needed to deal with - else hell fire is knocking your gate:
- speaking evil of the church and carelessly use the name of God.
- you gaze lustfully on anyone other than your spouse.
- you compare your spouse negatively to others.
- you talk negatively about anyone behind their backs.
- you say things about other people that are not true, or speculate things which you have not verified.
- you been angry and shift blames on others or God because you could not obtain something you wanted.
- you grudge about someone or become jealous because he/she is more fortunate or more successful or influential than you.
- you felt miffed, upset, or angry or envious because someone had something you don’t have
- you have deceitfully taken, confiscate, or used something that was not yours
- you neglect to assemble with the saints, profaning worship service, come to service as you wish and at your convenience, fighting or speaking evil of Christian brothers or sisters and/or using corrupt language.
- how about laziness at work, defrauding, dishonesty, cheating and extortion? and finally
- do your thoughts, plans, hopes, intentions, and actions revolve around something other than God?
Beloveth, there is but one way you can be saved and that is to repent and confess sins and then putting trust in Christ.
Let go your pride, your self-centeredness, take a bold step of repentance and your sins shall be forgiven because the blood of the Lamb of God covers every sin ever committed.

Prayer
Search me, O God, and know my heart and my thoughts and see if there be any grievous way in me then put guilty conscience in my mind, then purge me, cleanse me and lead me in the way of righteousness and everlasting life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: John 8:7
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Message
What is sin and how do you define sin?
Beloveth most believers think that keeping the commandments of the Lord and free of fornication, adultery then you are free of sin.
Yet there are still other sins that can lead one to hell fire.
Two people were caught in the supermarket stealing $10 or $1000 worth of goods respectively. Both are thieves and have committed sin punishable under the law of that land.
Truly, you are neither a fornicator, nor idolater, nor adulterer, nor effeminate, nor abuser of themselves with mankind, nor thief, nor covetous, nor drunkard, nor reviler, nor extortioner, yet you tell lies irrespective of your situation, you murmur, complain, shift blames, gossip, defraud, what comes out of your mouth is mostly discouragement and repetitions of the failures and/or shortcomings of your siblings, of your spouse, of your pastor, of the church or of your environment.
You are unrighteous and have also committed sins and shall not, unless you repent, inherit the kingdom of God. Sin is sin.
Remember what Jesus said "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."
You have also committed a sin when you are in the position to do any of these and you fail to.
For it is written "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."

Beloveth stop throwing stones as there is no man on this planet that is without sin. You are only enjoying the mercy of the Lord.

Prayer
Dear everlasting Father, open my eyes to see my shortcomings and grant me the strength to overcome them in Jesus name.
I repent of my sins and ask forgiveness and mercy in Jesus name.

Bible verse: John 1:46
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Message
Like Nathanael assuming that Nazareth could not produce much of worth let alone the promised one Jesus, so are many people temporarily blinded by their prejudice about you. Many will make judgements about you and your lifestyle, some will look down on you.
Philip's response was nit to argue but simply invite him to Jesus because talking about Jesus is nothing like meeting Him in person.
Beloveth, your Christ-like behaviour, your non-compromising the truth, your sincerity, your character, your integrity will speak for itself. You need not try to convince the world.
You don't have to agree with the world or those around you instead let your lifestyle and the words that proceeds out of your mouth speak for itself in convincing those in the world that something good and marvelous can come out of you.
You need not waste your time and energy with the doubting ones especially those whose thoughts are based on negative stereotype mindset or have formed a probability judgement about you based on generalization or hear say.
Beloveth, there will always be skeptical people yet nothing dispels prejudice and clears misunderstanding like personal investigation, your integrity and your Christ-like character.
Don't forget that a person becomes more attractive not by their look but by their act of kindness, respect, humility, honesty and the loyalty he shows and many suffer their minds to be filled with prejudice.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray not to be blinded with prejudice and I ask that You grant me a right, gracious, loving and patient mind in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 1 Samuel 12:24-25 contd
24 Only fear the Lord , and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

Message
Beloveth, God does not need you to serve him. He is capable of accomplishing anything on His own.
Your service cannot add to what God does; it can only magnify who He is, spread His love to those around us, and express your gratitude for what He has done.
Your ability to serve God comes from Him - your talents, resources, and strength.
When you serve Him, you are just doing what you are designed to do - serve Him, worship Him, praise Him.
Therefore, love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength and you shall receive the rewards attached to serving God.
God has provided wonderful benefits for all His children. He forgiveth all thine iniquities; healeth all thy diseases; redeemeth thy life from destruction; crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.Psalm 103:3-5
Yes, serving God allows you to experience the joy and peace that comes from obedience. It increases your faith and allows you to experience God's presence in new ways

Prayer
Dear Lord, make me an instrument of Your will and please direct my paths to Your ways so I can do Your will to Glorify You.
Help me be motivated by Your love, not my own ego in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 1 Samuel 12:24-25 contd
24 Only fear the Lord , and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

Message
Beloveth, you need to ask yourself - How can I still do wickedly when I serve the Lord in truth with all my heart?
- Do you twist the facts, mislead brethren, avoid taking responsibility, deny reality, make up stories, and withhold information?
- Do you fool others with smooth speech and flattering words?
- Do you use the Scripture to your own advantage but ignore and reject passages that might require self-correction and repentance?
- Do you have delight in gossip, backbiting and evil speaking?
- Do you play on the sympathies of good-willed people?
- Do you demand mercy and forgiveness but give none to those that harm or offend you?
- Have you been masquerading yourself as someone of noble character while you are filled with lustful activities?
- Do you knowingly or unknowingly create confusion and contention among friends, families, churches and church members?
- Do you keep secret secret or stab those who have put their confidence in you?
Beloveth, examine yourself on points stipulated above and if you are affected, come back to God in repentance and ask for mercy.
Do not have the hope and/or understanding that these horrible actions will have no serious or painful consequences if you fail to repent, be transformed and have a renewal of the mind.
It is written above that those who still do wickedly shall be consumed.

Prayer
Dear Lord, when I sin, plant in me that guilty conscience, grant me the ability to repent, and confess with my mouth my wrong doing, and receive the forgiveness so I can serve You with all my heart in Jesus name.
Lord, help me wear the cloak of humility.
