Month: May 2023

“35. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

36. And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.”

We shall be asking God for favour today just according to the instructions of God to the Israelite on their last day in the land of Egypt. When the expiring date of the children of Israel was come in Egypt, God instructed them to borrow and ask the Egyptian, who were mourning thier children, for favour before leaving the land and every of their request were granted. 

Today, being the last day of the month of May, we shall be asking God to grant us favour and restoration, both spiritual and physical favour. We will be requesting human for favour and God’s favour in all areas of life. The same God that granted the Israelite will do the same for us in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Father, grant me favour in the sight of men today, in my place of work, environment and ministry, let men favour me today by restoring all my pending blessing before the month ends, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. 

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.

“10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Today, we shall be asking for the Spirit Of Grace and Supplication from the Lord. He promise to pour it upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we belong to this linage. What is the spirit of Grace? It’s the heart of repentance. A Heart that longs for God. A heart that makes God the focus in all situations. When this spirit rest upon a man, he craves for God the more, He seek to do His will, he finds time out of no time to be sober in order to please God.

The Spirit of Grace and Supplication helps you walk in the will of the father, run from sin and cleave unto righteousness. It makes you create time to pray wholeheartedly and enjoy God’s presence. When we have this Spirit, we will see things with the eyes of faith not with doubt. 

Father, give to me the Spirit of Grace and Supplication, to be closer to you than ever, to walk in your fear and live with your reverence in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Good day and God Bless you.

“1. The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”

Today, we will be praying concerning our leaders in all sphere of life. When the leaders have the fear of God, God’s will be established across the nations. When they rule according to God’s will, God desire will be enforced and God will be glorified.

Some leaders hardly receive prayers from the follower because of their behaviour and attitude towards their subordinates. We hardly pray for them but criticized them often. Let’s hand them over to God almighty, pray for the rule of God over their lives. They keep encountering oppositions to do the right and good things, but with our prayers we can be of help to them. Solomon said, 

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”

God owns their heart and can control it the way He desire. Let’s speak to God to direct their heart to do right and justice to the nation. Speak a word of prayer concerning every leaders you serve, from spiritual to physical, and the Lord will hear our prayers.

Good day and God Bless you.

Give thanks, with a grateful heart,

Give thanks, to the Holy one,

Give thanks, because He’s given Jesus Christ, His son,

And Now, Let the Weak say, I am Strong,

Let the poor say, I am Rich,

Because of what, The Lord has done,

For us, Give Thanks.

One of the reasons we know we have problem is because we are alive. A dead man cannot cry for any situation. Being alive is worth being grateful for and this can only be shown by appreciating God everyday without complain. Above All, we need to thank Him for everything He made available to sustain, preserved, protect and helped us. No matter the opposition, we still need to tell Him “Thank You”.

Today, being the last Sunday of May, He’s Faithfulness can’t be counted. As the song we sang earlier said, declare the opposite of your challenges not your present situation. Say, 

“Lord, Thank you For I am Rich.” “Thank you for I am free from debt.” “I am carrying my children.” “I Have gotten the Job.” “I’m above every form of sickness, because you have taken them away from me.” 

Tell Him thank you today to insure your tomorrow.

Good day and God Bless you.

“35. And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36. And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.”

Beloved, it’s good to know that our action is what determines our freedom in life. Many responsibility has been pushed to God which is meant for us. Being jobless might not mean disturbing God for job but rather doing something to make a difference. Being single and praying for partner without preparing oneself for marriage can bring depression. Many situations doesn’t warrant us waiting for God’s to speak to us but acting against the situation.

According to our study this week, there was no time when Apostle Paul and Silas asked for direction or wait for God’s response, but they acted in service even in the prison. They weren’t idle or waiting for God, rather they attracted God’s presence. At the end of it all, they were freed before being declared Free by their captures. They weren’t under chains and shackles anymore when they were pronounce freed. We can be freed within that situation. We can use that situation as our stepping stone to victory. All we need is to be positive about the situation, acting positively with pleasing God in mind. Freedom is within your reach, act sensitively.

Good day and God Bless you.

“33. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; ….”

Brethren, challenging time has in it, opportunities. Until we loose ourselves up to see things the other way we might be in depression for long. In our challenges, help lies around, waiting for us to enjoy but this depends on how we are reacting to our situation. When we are too burdened with our circumstances, we won’t be able to enjoy the available Help.

Apostle Paul and Silas were always above their circumstances. They were never controlled or subjected to their situation. The same prison guard who was to inflict wounds on them should they misbehave, became the helper who washed their wounds and cared for them. He helped them get better, while they were still prisoners which was against his duty. If we can see thing differently, we will enjoy all the good benefits during our challenging time. Always think about showing love and care regardless of what the situation around you is saying. Our attitude is what determine the impact of our challenges. We give room to oppositions when we feel dejected and rejected. It’s time to turn thing around. Helps are available but we need to see things differently around us.

Good day and God Bless you.

“29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.”

If we are familiar with this story, we will discovered that, it was a mystery how this prison guard was saved without introducing the gospel to him first. We are in a season where we don’t need the bible or shout before men ask the question, “What must i do to be save?” No prior introduction of the scripture to him, no Evangelism or morning cry but miracle and the preservation of his life.

I like us to know that, our acton in challenging time is enough to win a soul for Christ if managed well. Our way of attending to situation, responding to attitude of men regardless of present challenges can bring lost soul to God. In that situation of ours, God must be glorified. We need to use every opportunity to reach out to soul through our response during difficulties. I pray today, that the faithful God will give us the grace and courage to handle situations in a better way for the Glory of God in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Use every opportunity to point others to God no matter what you’re faced with it.

Good day and God Bless you.

“27. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.”

Things are bad and rough are not enough reason to avenge yourself. Challenging time is not a time to seek for revenge or cause the death of others around you, No. Permit me to say, it’s not a time to pray for the death of your enemy but a time to rescue their lives from destruction and death. You don’t make yourself happy through other’s calamity. 

Miracle happen and the prison warder thought of taking his own life but Apostle Paul stopped him, and shouted, 

“Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.”

His death wouldn’t have profited Him but will rather put more issues on them. With this act, the live of the prison warder was saved. You’re not down to bring others down. You’re not facing oppositions to oppose others, all you need to do is to save as many lives you can save from that challenging time of yours. I remember few years ago, a man of God was sent to prison for a fraud there about. While in the prison, he helped over fifty awaiting trial prisoners out with his lawyer. Either he was set up or he committed the crime, he was able to help the forgotten out of the prison. Don’t be selfish and self centered. Use your time and save lives as many as we can. Look around you, which lives can you save despite your present challenges? You are not just there by coincidence, you have a purpose to fulfill.

Good day and God Bless you.

“26. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

Predicament hasn’t come to stay, but come and will leave, so, it all depends on our attitude to it. Our reaction either welcomes it or send it packing. When you are going through any challenges in life, we said the first thing to do is to Pray about it. Secondly, Praise about it, mind you, you are praising God to manifest Himself. Thirdly, expect miracles because God always come during challenges to show Himself powerful. Anytime men pray and praise, miracle follows. Don’t pray and praise then lack expectations of His act. Challenging period has always been a season of Miracle expectations, remember, expectation enhances miracle.

Paul and Silas prayed, Praise and their expectations weren’t cut short. Complaining of pains or harassing the cause does not bring miracle, Not at all, but they were in expectation of another miracle and it did came. Forget how the challenges came, whose fault it is, what would have been done better, rather face God with expectations, it’s a way of utilizing opportunities in challenging times. God doesn’t attend to blames but a prepared heart for Miracles.

Good day and God Bless you.
