Making Differences remain a strong key

To God be all the glory, first day of August. The mercies of God led us this far.  The Lord is our shepherd. As a great Shepherd, He leads through every phase of our lives. God is Omniscient, There are many  things  that God is aware of that you are unaware of. All these years  do you think even as a child of God, it is your wisdom that led you through different phases of your life. God Himself taught you the  best  methods  for achieving success in life even when we constantly refused to count on Him.  Even as humans, we can't manage our lives with only our heads.  Consciously or unconsciously, we have been blessed with the Divine Compass of the Lord where He directs and leads us through every stages of our lives.  Ron Williams wrote, "God leads Israel along the hard road because that is the best road for them. God leads Israel along the hard road because Israel belon...

12 days of thanking God, this is amazing.  Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and we thanked God strength.  It is not a coincidence that we are thanking God for the gift of Family and friends  A family is a group of people who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption and live together as a unit. Families can range in size and structure and typically share love, support, and responsibilities. Everyone from the planet earth comes from one family or the other. No ones comes from the sky😂😂😂 These are basic facts 👇👇👇 There is the One who initiated the concept of a family. That person is God. The Bible refer to Him as the BUILDER Yes, there are great Advantages offers a Family. Irrespective of what are passing through, always remember the good tidying attached to your getting connected to a family. Your being in that family is not a coincidence but by Divine Arrangement. There are great Pleasures derived from a Family   There is a blessing in a Family From...

 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn't know where I kept my phone yeterday night. I checked and checked everywhere but I couldn't find it. I called my line it wasn't ringing out because the phone was on vibration. So I heard in the quietness of my heart that, "Go and Sleep." Immediately I went to bed. I woke up this morning to look for it but to no avail. Then, shortly I heard my alarm and I was just laughing because the phone was in a place I can't imagine it to be.  I want to say thank you Lord for ensuring that I didn't stress myself looking for the phone, infact he preserved my strength for today.  Oh what a great way to start this glorious day.  We are constantly faced with Stumbling Blocks but then in diverse ways God turned them into Stepping Stones. It's all of His strength. There were times we failed  Some things drained us emotionally  Sometimes we were weak We had blurred vision  Our dreams were shattered Our visions became blurred Sometimes, our prayer times...

WHO defines mental health as a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. The heat of the present situation around us can drain us mentally.  A  person  with  no  room  for  thankfulness  will  quickly  become  mentally  ill  and  handicapped. One of the ways you can overcome mental instability is to consciously give God thanks. Philippians 4:6&7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Some people have been seen displaying some levels of insanity publicly, do you think they love it even after coming back to their senses? But we have been blessed with high level of Sanity even in an insane World, wh...

Extracted from,   There is a balm in Gilead To make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead To heal the sin-sick soul. Some times I feel discouraged, And think my work’s in vain, But then the Holy Spirit Revives my soul again. Friends; The unchangeable God is still on the throne. Healing rest in his loins.  Divine healing, according to Kydd (1998:XV), means the restoring of health through the direct intervention of God. The products of such an intervention constitute miracles Being alive is something to be thankful for every single day.  It should not be taken for granted at all that you are still alive and well. I don't know what you are going through that makes you sick in your Body, Soul and Spirit. Today, we are looking at the bodily aspect that is Physical. There is indeed a balm in Gilead, our Great Physician is here. All you need ...

While thanking God for the peace he has given me all this while, I was led to read Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. We all encounter situations and chances every day that have the potential to cause concern, anxiety, anguish, and a sense of powerlessness. Most of us pray to God in response to this and ask for His aid, peace, and intervention. We want to exchange our anxiety and concern for His serenity Whitman Ministries in one of her publications wrote As we give God our thanks, He in turn gives us peace. And it is ou...

TOvermiller said, "Here’s what you need to understand. Giving thanks to God is not just a polite thing to do or a habit you need to have to “be a good Christian.” When you know what you’re doing and you do it from the heart, giving thanks to God can be a very powerful moment in your life – every single time." He furter went on to say, "When you give thanks to God, you uncover his greatness and goodness. You expose how good God really is – to yourself and to those who are around you." “And my God will supply [o]all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen” - Philippians 4:19-20. We oftentimes claim these promises of verse 19 of this chapter and then ignore verse 20.  God provides for us in ways we can't explain yet we are never satisfied. We are selfish.  We always have entitlement spirit.  While writing this, the story of the Jesus feeding the five thousand people came to...

Have you thanked Him today? From our previous days, God Himself has really empowered us to be intentional about thanking Him in all circumstances.  Many times we take for granted the miracles we receive when we sleep and wake up, when we go out and come in safely. There are battles we would have faced but God kept us safe from them. Gloria Copeland wrote that, "God’s protection means you are inaccessible to the enemy, no matter what the circumstances. According to the Scriptures, God encircles, encompasses, covers and shields those who make Him their refuge. His presence—the anointing—is a kind of force field of protection making you inaccessible to the enemy no matter what the circumstances." Yes, I'm not perfect but God keeps protecting me.  Psalms 46:1 - God is like a place where we can go, where he will protect us. He will always give us help when troubles come. God will PROTECT us at difficult times! But it only occurs once...

 "Oh No! I keep making the same mistakes everytime." "Why must it be me to make these great mistakes?" "I don't like making mistakes." These and more are words we've said or heard people say. These are common statements.  My eyes was opened to many things even as I keep reading and exposing myself to experiences of life. Now life becomes more simple and easy for me to weary myself.  We have often become really hard on ourselves when we make mistakes. Sometimes we end up not forgiving ourselves. Mistakes will always happen but what are your reactions after making such mistakes. One thing I realise is that I must genuinely thank God for the mistakes I've made in the past. Yes I'm saying it again, I'm thankful to God for my past mistakes cause the lists below are benefits of mistakes. These are my own perspectives. Until we get to a point of being thankful for our mistakes we will keep killing ourselves and then depression starts coming in...

 As I think about the unconditional Love of God for me, I asked myself "What if God was man?" If God was man, honestly we would have died a long time ago cause our attitudes and commitment would have been used to judge our relationship with Him.  As humans, we  may  love  someone  until  they stop loving  us  back  or  stopping  to  make  us  happy. However, God's love for sinners is amazing,  unrelenting, difficult to comprehend, and  unending. In order for us to have everlasting life, know  Him, and enjoy Him, God loved us so much  that He sent His sinless Son to die on the cross in  our place. Despite our Unfaithfulness, God still remains faithful and He loves us.  God is love. God’s love for u...

Imagine if we are to pay for our Salvation. How much would we have made? Ephesians 2: 8 & 9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Saving is all of God's initiative and labour. We simply put our faith in him and let him  handle it. It is entirely a gift from God! We don't have the main part. If we did, we would definitely boast about finishing  the whole thing! No, we don't create ourselves or save ourselves. God is the one who creates and saves. If our works or actions were to be yardsticks for our salvation, we would have been far from being saved, cause we will be struggling to be saved.  What if we were to make sacrifices as desc...

Few years ago, we looked at the story of creation in children church. I asked the children to act out God creating Adam. Hmmmm... What strucked me was the Lifeless Adam. Adam would have been lying down there without doing anything if God had not breath his Breathe into him. I am not sure of the cost of oxygen in some countries but in  certain  hospitals  in  Nigeria, adults are  given  oxygen  at  a  rate of N4,500 per hour, while children receive itat a rate of N3,000 per hour.  From the above,  For adults: In a day, oxygen will cost 108,000 naira In a month, it will cost 3,240,000 naira(for 30 days) In a year, it will cost 38,880,000 naira Now imagine if we are to pay for oxygen to survive. How many of us would have been able to survive?  Oh! How ungrateful we are. At this point we all need to ask God for mercy. We need to ask Him to forgive us.  Haaaaa... you b...

 One thing I have observed is that we have unconsciously ignored this aspect of thanking God for creating us in his image.  Many times, we even tell God he would have made us this way or that way. Be Intentional about this, thank God for creating you in His image.  While thanking God for creating me in His image, I remembered a song we sang as children:                     If I were a butterfly                      I’d thank you, Lord,                      for giving me wings;                    And if I were a robin in a tree,                    I’d thank you Lord,                     that I could sing;                 ...
