“18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” 

Jesus, after resurrecting, sent message to his disciples to meet Him 

Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Matthew 28:10.

This was the final meeting of Jesus with His disciples before his departure to Heaven. All eyes saw Him, not just his disciples alone but others who came with disciple and want to prove His existence. Jesus said, “All Power is given to Him in Heaven and Earth” meaning He rules over all power, He is in-charge, the devil has been subdued forever. This same power, He has given to us when we accepted Him as our Lord and Saviour, so we are empowered. He never left us powerless when He was leaving. So, what’s this power for? The first use of this power is to make Christ known to as many as we can reach out to. To speak of Him to those who knew Him not, to the lost soul and the burdened. We are to use this power to teach others about Him and draw them back to God. 

May I ask you this morning, when last did you speak to someone about Christ? Have you ever spoken to someone that Jesus is the saviour of the world? This is the last and greatest commandment of our Lord Jesus after resurrection. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:.” Do you know that, until this is done, He might not be with us all along the way? According to, Matthew 28:20.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Preaching His messages is the prove of His presence around us.

Good day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

“1. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.”

Jesus Christ, the Rock of ages, the Everlasting Rock who came in human form. He lives before the ages and reigns forever more. Never did His enemies knew who He was, That He is the Rock that’s in-charge of all rocks, Hallelujah. They hid, (thinking they buried Him), the commander of rock in the rock, Laugh. Glory to God. All He needed to do was to command the rock to let Him go. The rock hid him for three days to complete the victory over the sting of death and grave, then the rock answered to Him, Hallelujah. He is alive forever more. Nothing was able to stop Him. Neither the stone rolled at the entrance or the soldiers at the entrance, He walked out of the Rock to bring life to us, Hallelujah!

Today, we are celebrating He’s rising that made our lives meaningful. He did it for once and we keep enjoying it till date and eternity. Let’s worship His majesty today as we give to him the due Praise for bringing us life eternal. 

Good day and God bless you.

“12. And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13. And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

14. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

Today, as we conclude on our teaching, “Price For Peace”, the final price to pay for Peace is to be concerned about your Peace Troubler, even after they left you. Your peace troubler is not separated from you so you can forget them, but for you to enjoy your peace. To be able to have time for what God as assigned you to do, not the other way round. That God separated you from your peace troubler doesn’t make them your enemies, No, they are still under your care but you just have to create a space between you and them.

Lot was separated from Abraham to a far country but he wasn’t separated from his heart of care. When Lot was captured in the land of Sodom and taken as captive, Abraham didn’t sit back to watch or laughed at him.

Abraham rose to rescue Lot from the kings who held him captive and brought his family back home. He wasn’t mocking him neither was he laughing at him, he went with over three hundred soldiers in his home to rescue him. You’re not to mock your peace troubler because of their predicament. You’re to show them that God has placed you above them and extending the hand of love when necessary. You can’t back out from helping them. Feel concern for your peace troubler, don’t abandon them when they need your assistance especially when they’ve come to realize (because God will always make them know) you are above them. 

Good day and God bless you.

“17. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

18. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

*HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY*

Today, signifies a day our Lord Jesus Christ, started the journey that brought the peace we now enjoyed today. He went to the cross with His life and came down with Peace, May His name be Praise forever more, Amen.

As we continue on our teachings today, when we’ve paid the price for peace, what next is to be in charge and exhibits our ownership all around. Every dream that were unachievable should kick start because we have been freed to showcase God in all capacity. After the departure of Lot, God told Abraham to Arise and walk through all the land, limitations and oppositions has been removed, so enough rooms for expansion has been created. Fear in any forms has been remove, price for peace has been settled, it’s our duty to raise and utilize the peace we’ve paid for. From then on, Abraham begin to build altars in every location to signifies his possession.

You need to show the reason for that peace you sacrificed for. You need to prove to others why the peace was worth those sacrifices by acting in the direction you’ve been limited of. Taking giant steps to God’s purpose over your life. May we receive the inspiration to take over in Jesus name, Amen.

Good day and God bless you.

“12. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.”

Many times we when take right decision, we feel we’re foolish or stupid, but we are right in doing that because that’s what God wanted from us. Letting go off anything that will stop you from enjoying your peace and having time for God is always the best decision. What you do for the sake of peace is not a waste but a seed of rest. Abraham felt fulfilled after letting Lot have where he desired and he dwell in the land of Canaan in peace of mind without trouble from any herds men. Abraham was able to concentrate on God better. It was after Lot Left that God reconfirm His promises with Abraham to give him the land of Canaan.

Your decision to let peace reign doesn’t make you a fool but a peace lover and a child of God. It also gives you room to enjoy peace and God consistently. Appreciate your decisions to let peace reign, don’t be carried away by what you sacrifice for peace because you have more of it ahead. Celebrate your separation from your peace troubler and let God take over from there.

Good day and God bless you.

10. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

11. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

Out Third Price for peace is to “Sacrifice All You can For Peace” Yes. Release what you can to get your peace back. Nothing loose for peace will not be gotten back. Abraham asked his nephew, a boy he fed, trained and made, to choose a place for himself and he chose the best land for himself, meaning, I don’t care how you will survive uncle, let me enjoy the better place. Come to think of it, if Abraham never taught of separating from him, with this his action, Lot could find mains of getting rid of Abraham because of this herds issue? Whoever is after your peace of mind can take away the source of your income. Sacrifice what you can to enjoy peace of mind from your enemies.

Abraham never questioned his request because he must have known him with greed so he let him have it. Can you think of that thing you can sacrifice for peace of mind of your family, business, work and life? The prodigal son would have done worst if his father hadn’t release the portion of his will for him. Think of what you can sacrifice to enjoy peace of mind by wisdom, and you will be glad you did.

Good day and God bless you.

“8. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

9. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

Yesterday, we saw how Abraham identify the source of his problem, which is Lot. Abraham would have used his seniority over lot and his herds men, but he applied wisdom in handling the issue. He called Lot and separated from him wisely. He showed him all the land before them and gave him the honour to select a place in order to separate from him. He never choose a place for him to reside but made him select a place. The price to pay for peace involves the application of wisdom.

To enjoy peace with your in-laws, parent, spouse, co-workers or enemies takes wisdom not fight nor quarrel. Confrontation may not be needed to enjoy peace, just wisdom from God. Sit back and ask God for the right wisdom to handle those troubling your peace. What sacrifice do you need to make for peace to reign? What do you need to let go? Search around and pay the price for your peace, you don’t need to create more troubles while handling your peace troubler. Seeks for God’s wisdom.

Good day and God bless you.

5. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

8. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

Welcome to this wonderful week in the month of April, May this month yield as we follow His Direction in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. This week, we are studying, “Price For Peace”, what does it entails to enjoy peace in one’s life and environ. Our case study for the week is Father Abraham.I Have come to discovered that, there are many lessons to learn from this Man that can’t be quantified. Let’s learn from Him what he did to enjoy peace. 

When God called Abraham to leave his country and family, he left with his nephew, lot, and they both increased as God increased Abraham. A time came when there was strive between their herdsmen, which could have affected the family tree but Abraham handled it wisely by identifying the source of the trouble. Abraham called Lot his brother and not the herdsmen. He spoke with him as a brother not as a troubler. The herdsmen weren’t the source of the problem but lot.

Many time, we over react when we need to handle our peace troubler. We attack the wrong person, focus on the wrong side and end up becoming guilty. When we are faced with issues, we are afraid of speaking directly to the origin of it In our lives, we see men as our problem instead of the devil. We belief others that are working diligent as our troubler instead of working on ourselves in our places of work. We tackled the wrong person without diligent search. Let me ask you this morning, who is your Peace troubler? Can you identify the person or the spirit? Then, know who to face to restore your peace back. You need to identify the source of your problems and not just the channel.

Good day and God bless you.

“34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

37. For with God nothing shall be impossible.

38. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Our final case study for this week is Mary, the mother of Jesus. We shall be studying how Mary handled a doubtable situation. She wasn’t married, never attempted pre-marital sex then, how can she accept the prophecy of having a child? But indeed, she never doubted but received the promises when the angel visited her. Her response was so positive despite the possibility of the prophecy, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” This is a greater Faith if you will ask me. She never argued with the angel nor doubted the prophesy, why? Because He that says it has the power to do it. She would have ask the angel, “what will my husband to be say?” “How will he react to this news?” But all these thought were subdued because she left everything to God to perfect it.

“Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.”

Can we inculcate this ability concerning those promises of God? This response of Mary gave the Angel a go ahead to meet Joseph and settle the matter with him but if she had doubted, it would have become difficult for Joseph to also accept the prophecy. Learn to accept it as it’s been said. You have nothing to loose, just act according to the instructions and you will be above doubt.

Good day and God bless you.
