What are some lessons that life teaches you?

1. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

2. If you are happy in real life, you don’t need to prove it on social media.

3. Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.

4. The signs you ignore in the beginning just end up being the reason you leave later.

5. A toxic partner makes you drained entirely. Find the right one on this platform.

6. Stop catching strong feelings for people with weak communication.

7. Don’t let people who do so little for you define so much of your life.

8. Your gut knows what your heart doesn’t. Listen to it.

9. Stop expecting people to be mind readers and tell them clearly what you want.

10. Make your happiness your main priority.

FRY THE EGGS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

A friend told me a STORY of how her MOTHER called her around 10pm and ASKED her to quickly fry eggs for HER.
She said she TOLD her mother she was too TIRED and pleaded with her to ALLOW her fry it in the MORNING.
The MOTHER insisted on EATING the egg that night but the lady PREVAILED and the mother kept QUIET over the matter and went to SLEEP.
Early the following MORNING, the lady went into the KITCHEN and fried few eggs, well GARNISHED and with FRESH fish.
She KNOCKED her mother's DOOR to serve her the SCRAMBLED egg; with HOT tea. There was no ANSWER.
She forcefully OPENED the door and WOKE the mother up to EAT her egg, but the mother was DEAD!!!
She screamed !
She shook her !
She shouted, " MUMMY!MUMMY !, Stand up and EAT your egg. I even MADE hot tea for you with it, MUMMY I am SORRY," Hot tears rolled down her CHEEKS like a mighty TORRENTIAL rain. It was too late !
Her MUM was gone!
She said, that SCENE of that NIGTH when her mum was PRACTICALLY begging HER to fry egg for her kept HAUNTING her MEMORY for a long time and she ALWAYS felt she WAS the cause of her MOTHER'S death.
If she had KNOWN that it would be the LAST meal her MUM would ask for and EAT from her, she WOULD never have DELAYED frying it for her that night !
Friends, what "eggs" are you ASKED to fry and you are SAYING you will "fry"it tomorrow ?.

Who do you need to call now?
Text now?
Chat with, or make peace with?
AND you are still saying," No.
I will do it tomorrow.
NEXT week.
WHEN he/she apologises first,etc"?
WHAT if you wake up TOMORROW and that person is GONE ?
Or what if you never woke up tomorrow ?
IS your spouse/love, dad, mum, partners, children, neighbours CALLING you for HELP / FORGIVENESS right now and you want to DELAY till tomorrow BEFORE 'frying the egg' for him / her / them.
AND you're still insisting that "until the Lord comes"?
What if the OPPORTUNITY is no more there TOMORROW ?

Brothers and Sisters, gather YOURSELF..

Peter lied to Jesus and denied knowing him. What did Jesus do to Peter? Jesus died for him, conquered the grave and rose from the dead, then came looking for him. You’d think Jesus would mention Peter’s denial of him, but he didn’t. He met him where he was and affirmed his calling. Jesus will do the same for you.

If you feel like you’ve grown distant from God in your heart, I can assure you, God has not grown distant toward you. God’s affection for you is not affected by yours for him.

A Lesson from Peter

John 21:15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My lambs.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep.

You don’t catch it in the English translation, but Jesus and Peter are using two different words for love. Jesus is using agape, which is a self-sacrificial love. But Peter is using phileo, which is a brotherly kind of love. Jesus is asking Peter if he is willing to lay down his life for him, and Peter pretty much says they’re good friends.

Peter is probably feeling ashamed since he denied Jesus. He’s probably thinking he isn’t worthy to follow Jesus since he made such a huge mistake. But Jesus sees it differently. Jesus doesn’t changes his mind toward Peter and what he wants him to do for him.

Does this sound familiar? Have you ever failed Jesus and felt ashamed? Maybe even to the point of thinking you aren’t worthy to do something for God? I’m here to tell you, Jesus hasn’t given up on you.

My name is Donald J Trump

Before I came to POWER, there was a lot of wickedness going on AGAINST America my country.
As a billionaire, I decided to run for the president to Change the status quo.

I later won the election and since the Inception of my leadership, all my salaries do go to the less privilege in America.

I brought my best team to rebrand the American Economy and to do that which Democrats couldn't do.

America became the best Economy in the world.

Since I took over power, all the MEDIA houses turned against me. From one false news to another just to destroy me...
The reason they hate me was because I recognized Jerusalem as the capital of israel and failed to Join in their Illuminati cult.

I was planning that in my second term in office, I will look towards Africa and liberate them from the bo***ge they are in from the Europeans.

I never knew that China was planning to recolonize Africa. They brought a disease CALLED CORONA VIRUS and hid it away from the rest of the world.

Today it has shattered my country and still raking havoc

I am perplexed. I love my citizens and hate to see them dying as it is happening today.

We have spent trillions of dollars just because of what China caused. I would have used this money to liberate Africa especially those trapped in Nigeria and stop the killing of Christians.

I am in a very sad mood now.

If you see this statement, say a word of prayers for me...

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

God bless you.

Morning, July 25

He left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
- Gen 39:12

In contending with certain sins, there remains no mode of victory but by flight. The ancient naturalists wrote much of basilisks, whose eyes fascinated their victims and rendered them easy victims. Just so—the mere gaze of wickedness puts us in solemn danger. He who would be safe from acts of evil—must hasten away from occasions of it. A covenant must be made with our eyes—not even to look upon the cause of temptation, for such sins only need a spark to begin with and a blaze follows in an instant!

Who would wantonly enter the leper’s hut and sleep amid its horrible corruption? He alone who desires to be leprous himself—would thus court contagion. If the mariner knew how to avoid a storm, he would do anything rather than run the risk of weathering it. Cautious pilots have no desire to try how near the quicksand they can sail, or how often they may touch a rock without springing a leak; their aim is to keep as nearly as possible in the midst of a safe channel.

This day I may be exposed to great peril—let me have wisdom to keep out of it and avoid it. The wings of a dove may be of more use to me today than the jaws of a lion. It is true I may be an apparent loser by declining evil company but I had better leave my cloak—than lose my character! It is not needful that I should be rich but it is imperative upon me to be pure. No ties of friendship, no chains of beauty, no flashings of talent, no shafts of ridicule—must turn me from the wise resolve to flee from sin. I am to resist the devil and he will flee from me but the lusts of the flesh, I must flee, or they will surely overcome me! O God of holiness, preserve your Josephs—that Madam Bubble bewitch them not with her vile suggestions. May the horrible trinity of the world, the flesh, and the devil—never overcome us!

Introduction:
Eden has been a place where God planted the first man Adam so as to rule over the Earth before the fall; and it has always been a place where God met with man for fellowship. I believe today every man need to connect to that Eden experience where they can clearly hear the voice of God and stay in the place of fellowship. Nothing put a man on track like such experience... May you have such Echo that will keep you in such Eden experience. We don't make a quick fix, we believe in scriptural principle. Discard any post that want you to get rich over night. God bless!

Faith that is Alive
..faith without works is dead.
(James 2:20, NKJV)

Did you know that faith can be alive or dead? Dead faith doesn’t do anything. There are a lot of people who love God, but they aren’t overcoming obstacles or accomplishing their God-given dreams simply because they are not putting any action behind their faith. Their faith is simply dead.

What can you do today to keep your faith alive? It doesn’t have to be something big. By simply obeying God’s Word and doing your best, you are keeping your faith alive. When you go to work every day and give it 100%, you are demonstrating your faith. Sometimes just putting a smile on your face when you feel discouraged is putting action behind your faith. Taking time to go to church—that’s faith that is alive. That’s faith that activates God’s power. That’s faith that opens the door for God to move on your behalf! With faith that is alive, you’ll rise up higher. You’ll overcome obstacles, and you’ll move forward into the blessing and victory God has in store for you!

Prayer/Meditation
Father, thank You for Your Word which is life to my soul. Show me ways to put my faith into action. Guide my steps and keep me close to You so that everything I do brings honor to You in Jesus name. Amen.

Lean on the Rock

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

When you become a christian, it doesn’t mean that you will live on a perpetual “high.” The Psalmist David went down to the very depths, and so did the Apostle Paul. But in the midst of all circumstances God’s grace, peace, and joy are there. The tears will still come, the pressures will be felt, and so will the temptations. But there is a new dimension, a new direction, and a new power in life to face the circumstances in which you live.

David and Paul have given me the example of trusting You, Lord, even in the excruciating valleys of life. Like them, I praise You

A Voice Of Praise

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits (Psalm 103:2)

The popular saying that “a person who knows how to show appreciation for a previous favour will receive another”, instructively guides us into our discussion today. It is doubtful if there is any culture the world over where good gestures are not appreciated. And there is no individual anywhere who does not understand what it means to express gratitude for favours and kindness received from a benefactor.

David, the great psalmist, here calls our attention to who and what God is, His attributes and actions; who and what we are in the light of His omnipotence and lavished blessings upon us. It is not unlikely that we often take all that we are enjoying for granted and never meditate on the source of our blessings and favour. How often do we praise God in appreciation of His goodness?

The passage outlines the attributes of God as they touch on human frailty and our need of divine power to survive the challenges of our world. God is righteous and just, merciful and gracious, loving and faithful. He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, protects us from death, surrounds us with tender mercies and satisfies us with the good things of life. What a good God we have!

We are challenged never to forget all His benefits. In our daily activities, the hustling and bustling of our cities and engagements in Christian service, we must always remember to praise God for all the wonderful blessings and mercies we receive from Him.

PRAYER/MEDITATION
A gush of gratitude to God provokes further blessings from Him.

Costly Assumption

Many people are so stubbornly set in their ways that they refuse to acknowledge that they are on the wrong path. They would not seek help, nor change their ways. They thrive on the false assumption that no harm can come their way. Many continue on this path until it is too late, and the consequences are upon them.

This was the lot of the children of Israel. The prophet here complains of the wretched stubbornness of these people. They were incorrigible and rejected the means of grace available to them. They continued to live to satisfy their selfish aspirations. Their mistakes were not rectified, their hearts not renewed, nor their lives reformed. Their prophets taught them the knowledge of God and His will, and sought to make them understand the mind of God. This was God’s way of dealing with men, to enlighten their minds first with the knowledge of His truth, and thus, gain their affection, and bring their will in compliance with His laws.

But, the people were unwilling to learn, just as it was impossible for them to deeply imbibe any knowledge passed to them. They had no capacity to receive what is taught them, having made up their minds about how they wanted to live. Therefore, all the noble efforts of their prophets fell on deaf ears.

Those who would not hear the comfortable voice of God’s word shall be made to hear and experience the dreadful voice of His rod when He brings utter ruin upon them. It is indeed a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. No power in the universe can deliver out of His hands. The only way to escape is through total repentance and continual obedience to all of His will as revealed in the Holy Scriptures and taught by His ministers.

Meditation
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear (Isaiah 28:12).

17/01/2020

What Manner Of Love?

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another (John 13:34)

The Apostle Peter along with other disciples discovered to their shame when they forsook their Lord in His moment of need that the love He taught them was infinitely superior to the world’s. They could not project their love sacrificially as Peter boasted he would. In his case, he even denied His Saviour in order to escape persecution.

The love Christ endorses is called agape in Greek. It is different from the sensual one the world celebrates every day. Agape is a self- surrendering love that seeks the good of others. It marks the Christian out as a distinct and consecrated follower of Christ who Himself lived what He preached and taught. Relationship among believers must be characterized by a devoted concern that sacrificially seeks to promote the highest good of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Our Lord says, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

Yet, there is a caveat: in loving all Christians, even those who do not belong to our denomination, we must not compromise or surrender Bible-based doctrines of purity and holiness. We must not go for so-called ecumenical unity or oneness that leads to compromise and apostasy.

The love Jesus teaches is not a one-off affair which we celebrate once a year. It is that which we put on as a garment all the time and allow to influence our dealings with other people irrespective of their tribe, colour or culture.

We must remember, however, that loving others does not amount to dropping holiness, righteousness and other biblical truths. Instead, love for God and His word must always come first. That is the essence of agape love which God wants us to celebrate every day.

Prayer/Meditation
Loving others like Christ is a daily affair, not a showy yearly ritual.

A Thousand Anxieties

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4

Man has always been beset by worry, and the pressures of modern life have aggravated the problem. To men of all time Jesus said, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow . . . but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33-34). Many of you are filled with a thousand anxieties. Bring them to Jesus Christ by faith. He will bring peace to your soul and your mind.

Prayer/Meditation
Knowing You hear me, Lord, as I talk with You brings me peace in the midst of any storm.

In an Instant

Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land. (Leviticus 26:5, NLT)

I believe we are living in a day and age when God is accelerating His work in our lives! I believe that what used to take days, weeks and even years in times past, God will do in an instant in this day and age. In an instant, you can receive your breakthrough. In an instant, you can be promoted on your job. In an instant, you can receive your healing. In an instant, your relationship can be restored. In an instant, that child can change their ways.

Today, believe that God will take you further than you ever thought possible, faster than you ever thought possible. Trust that your times are in His hands. Know that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Just like in the days of old, God will accelerate your seasons and thrust you into the blessing He has prepared for you!

Prayer /Meditation
Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. I trust that my times are in Your hands. I know that You have a good plan for my future, so I open my heart and put my faith and trust totally in You in Jesus name. Amen

20/11/2019

Remain in Him

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5, NIV)

Have you ever really thought about the relationship between a branch and the vine? We don’t use these kinds of word pictures much these days, but think about it—if the branch is not attached to the vine, it withers and dies. The very life of the branch depends on it being attached to the vine. The same thing happens if we try to operate in this life without Jesus. Without Him, we can do nothing. We are cut from our life source. But when you remain in Him by daily connecting with Him through prayer, worship and study of the Word, then your life will be fruitful. You’ll walk in joy and blessing. Notice that this verse says “much fruit.” It’s saying that you will have an abundant harvest in your life.

Remember, God doesn’t want you to just barely get by. He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness! Choose to make Him your top priority, and you’ll see His hand of blessing as you remain in Him!

PRAYER/MEDITATION
Father, thank You for being my source of life. Thank You for Your hand of blessing that is leading and guiding me. I choose to make You my number one priority. Help me to remain strong and connected in you in Jesus' name! Amen.

08/11/2019

True Success
.. Freely you have received; freely give. (Matthew 10:8, NIV)

There are a lot of people who are successful in this world. They’ve accomplished their goals in the public eye. But being successful isn’t just about what you make happen for yourself, it’s about what you make happen for others. It’s when you realize, “God has blessed me not to just sit on my throne and let everybody see my accomplishments; God has blessed me to be a blessing to others. God has helped me to win so I can help somebody else win.” In other words, it’s when you realize, “God helped me overcome this addiction, now I’m going to find somebody and help them overcome.” Or, “God has blessed me with a happy family. I’m going to go find a family who is struggling and help them get back on track.” That’s what being successful is really all about.

Today, look for ways to help others succeed. Reach back and give freely of the talents and abilities you’ve been given. As you do, you’ll rise up higher and live in the fullness of the blessing God has prepared for you!

PRAYER/MEDITATION
Father, thank You for giving me so much. Thank You for blessing me with talents and abilities and the desire to bless others. Show me ways to reach out and help others move forward and be successful so we can all rise higher together in Jesus name. Amen.

Be Sensitive

If a person isn't loving and kind, it shows that he doesn't know God for God is love. 1 John 4:8 (TLB)

Jesus wept tears of compassion at the graveside of a friend. He mourned over Jerusalem because as a city it had lost its appreciation of the things of the Spirit. His great heart was sensitive to the needs of others. To emphasize the importance of man’s love for men, He revised an old commandment to make it read, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart . . . and thy neighbor as thyself.” This generation is rough and tough. I heard a little boy boasting one day about how tough he was. He said, “On the street I live on, the farther out you go the tougher they get, and I live in the last house.” Until you have learned the value of compassionately sharing others’ sorrow, distress, and misfortune, you cannot know real happiness.

PRAYER/MEDITATION
Lord Jesus, sensitize my heart with Your compassion so that I may truly love.

28/10/2019

Jesus Never Changes

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8

The Bible says, “It is appointed unto men once to die,” and to the average person this seems a stark and hopeless situation. Hundreds of philosophies and scores of religions have been invented to circumvent the Word of God. Modern philosophers and psychologists are still trying to make it appear that there is some way out other than the path of Jesus. But people have tried them all, and none of them leads anywhere but down. Christ came to give us the answers to the three enduring problems of sin, sorrow, and death. It is Jesus Christ, and He alone, who is also enduring and unchanging, “the same yesterday, today, and forever.” All other things may change, but Christ remains unchangeable.

In the restless sea of human passions Christ stands steadfast and calm, ready to welcome all who will turn to Him and accept the blessings of safety and peace. For we are living in an age of grace, in which God promises that “whosoever will” may come and receive His Son. But this period of grace will not go on indefinitely. We are even now living on borrowed time.

PRAYER/MEDITATION
Jesus, even if loved ones, friends, acquaintances change, You are always the same. Thank You for Your unchanging love.

14/10/2019

Not Good Enough
.. not having mine own righteousness... Philippians 3:9

People go through many doors which do not lead to the Kingdom of God. Some try the door of good works. They say, “I can get to heaven if I only do enough good things, because God will honor all the good things I do.” It’s wonderful to do good things, but we cannot do enough good things to satisfy God. God demands perfection, and we’re not perfect. If we’re going to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we have to be absolutely perfect. You ask, “Well, how will I ever be perfect?” We need to be clothed in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus. There is one door to the Kingdom and it’s Jesus. And we will never get to heaven unless we go His way.

PRAYER/MEDITATION
Almighty God, there is nothing I can do to be worthy of Your love, and yet You have given me Jesus my Savior and Lord!

12/10/2019

RECOVER YOUR STOLEN BLESSINGS

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Psalm 103:13

Time and time again, we have seen God dealing with us as a father deals with his children. This is because we are His children and He is our father. God has been so gracious to us on many occasions. He will not always punish us without showing mercy, even when it is glaring that we deserve condemnation. There are many of us who have lost many precious things due to our rebellion, negligence and carelessness, but our Father is always there to show us mercy and grace. If things are bad and you want a positive turn around, there are steps you must be willing to take to recover all your stolen blessings. God does not want His children to be at the mercy of Satan; the Almighty God is willing and eager to deliver us. You have to first of all acknowledge the areas in which you have given room to the devil, find out that specific area in which you have given room to the devil, find out the specific area you missed it and seek the face of the Almighty God for restoration. God wants you to recover your lost lands, your lost status and all the beautiful accomplishments that you have lost to the devil. The moment you recover these lost grounds, you must say to yourself that you will never be a victim again. The only way to guarantee this is to keep in constant touch with your creator and the restorer of your blessings. You need to love the Lord like never before.

“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy might” Deuteronomy 6:5

You should make up your mind to obey His voice alone in every area of life. Obedience to the Word of God will lead you into a life of fruitfulness. There are many people who look for God when the devil is dealing with them, but as soon as they are fully delivered from the hands of the devil, they stop doing the will of God.

DEFENDER OF THE DEFENCELESS

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy
life: as I was with Moses, So I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5

God is worthy to be praised at every moment of our lives. He is our strength, our rock, our fortress, our shield and high tower. Proverbs 18:10 tells us that the name of the Lord is a strong tower that the righteous can always run to at any time and remain secure. The Almighty God is the security upon which one should base his life. These days when there is no nation that does not have its own share of the global security crises, it is certain that unless the Lord watches over you, you become vulnerable to the evil events flying around. God is the only guarantee and assurance of our faith; hence, you can be confident that you will always be delivered even in extreme circumstances. Sometimes, God will allow us to fall into a great calamity before He comes visiting. He does this just to reassure you that nothing is over until He says so. He wants us to have an evidence of His deliverance in our lives for future purposes.

08/10/2019

A Heart of Belief

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

The heart is the blood-pump of the body. It is also used metaphorically when we speak of affections and feelings. Since it is the central organ of the body and one of the most vital, the Bible speaks of it as the wellspring of life. Hence, it is used synonymously with “life.” When the Bible says, “Son, give me thine heart,” it doesn’t mean that we are to cut out our actual hearts and give them to God. It means that we are to give Him our lives, our all. When we come to Christ, we are not only to give intellectual assent with our minds, we are to “believe in our hearts.” We can believe in the historic Jesus, but if we have “saving faith” our belief must involve our whole being. When we believe with all our hearts, the will, the emotions, and the intellect are surrendered to Christ.

PRAYER
Lord, I believe and rejoice in the knowledge that You are alive and my Redeemer!

06/10/2019

The Life of a Servant

So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord... 1 Kings 17:5

As messengers of God, we will often lead lonely lives. “All men forsook me,” said Paul. It is a price we have to pay; there is a loneliness in the Gospel. Yet you will not be alone, because you will be ministered to by the Spirit of God, as Elijah was ministered to at the brook Cherith. A true messenger lives a burdened life. If he is the Lord’s vessel, he carries in his heart a burden for souls none can share but those who know it firsthand.

PRAYER/MEDITATION
Just as Your Spirit took care of Elijah, I know I am not alone in Your service, almighty God.
