Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE!
FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART (1)
MATTHEW 25: 24 -30

Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed" Matthew 25:24.

As you you advance, declare to yourself that 'it shall be well with me.

The scripture says that "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45).

From our text today, the man who was given one talent was completely unprofitable for the Kingdom because of how he wrongly perceived his master.

The way he wrongly perceived his master naturally affected his attitude towards his work, which invariably influenced his lack of profitability.

He never realized that he had a wrong perspective of his master, yet, all his actions was hinged upon his perspective.

In this story told by our Lord Jesus, the servant saw his master in such a negative light, this make his attitude towards him very negative, leading him to bury his talents and gifts, instead of utilizing it profitably.

How you see God will affect how you serve or praise Him.

If you wrongly see Him as a wicked taskmaster, then you will not serve Him wholeheartedly with joy.

If you see Him as a generous and caring King, then your service to Him will be praise-filled and motivated by love.

Our God is exceedingly loving and kind, and His generosity to us far exceeds our net worth.

For this reason, we must serve Him wholeheartedly and lovingly because His heart is true, genuine, and complete; ever-loving and most Merciful.

In your dispositions, always ensure that you deal with the state of your heart.

Identify how you genuinely see God so that you can praise Him wholeheartedly and ceaselessly.

PRAYER: By Your Grace Lord, I choose to love and serve You because You have overwhelmed me with Your loving generosity and kindness. Thank You, Jesus.AMEN.
SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE!
THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD..

I have come to understand that the difference between the right and the left hand is more than their positioning on our bodies. For example, in Matthew 5:30 when Jesus was talking about everything you must do to make sure you don’t miss heaven, He said, “If thy right hand offend thee…” He could easily have said, “If thy hand,” but He obviously emphasised the right hand because of its importance.

In Genesis 48:8-20 when Jacob was to bless Joseph’s two sons, he deliberately placed his right hand on the younger son and the left on the older son. As a result of this, the younger son became more blessed than his elder brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).
Now, if the right hand of a man is that powerful, then you can imagine how powerful God’s right hand is since we were made in His image (Genesis 1:26).

Psalm 17:7 says that God saves by His right hand. In other words, when a sinner is snatched from the jaws of hell, it is God’s right hand at work. This is why you must pray for God to raise His right hand on behalf of all your family members that are not saved. Furthermore, Psalm 139:10 says that He leads by His right hand. Isaiah 41:10 says that God also upholds with His right hand. After He has saved you and led you with His right hand, He will also keep you standing with the same right hand.

In Exodus 15:6, the Bible says that His right hand is not just powerful, but also glorious in power. This tells us that God fights with His right hand. In Exodus 15:11-12, the Bible says that His right hand swallowed the enemy. In Mark 14:62, the Bible tells us that the right hand of God is the right hand of power. The right hand of God is also where you will find joy and everlasting pleasures (Psalm 16:11).

Beloved, you should note, however, that only the redeemed can be at the right hand of God (Matthew 25:34).
If you are not yet born again, you better surrender your life to Christ now because those who are at God’s left hand suffer greatly. They are the ones who weep and gnash their teeth because of the evils they experience. Give your life to Christ today and get on the right-hand side of God.
HALLELUJAH, SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

02/12/2025

This is why as Christians, thanksgiving is our lifestyle.
The Psalmists by revelation says " This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it"

See, your joy is just starting! HALLELUJAH.
SHALOM! SHALOM!!.
Happy New Month.

Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE!
More Than A Conqueror!

Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!"
(Romans 8:37 )

we are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!
What does it mean?

It means we already have victory over everything on earth through Christ! Jesus won the battle on our behalf
But we MUST manifest the victory.
work out your salvation"

To this end, always have a song of victory, a song of joy. Isaiah 30:29 says You shall have a song
Through that song of victory, song of joy, "The LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard" (Vs. 30)

Once the voice of God is heard in your spirit man over any issue, the matter is closed!
Melodious songs of joy enables you to be filled with the Spirit. Joy is even the simplest and most practical way to resist Satan! Resist him.
Prophetically declare your victory over all issues of life.

Go and be fruitful. It's God's order! Go and increase, prosper, multiply, do the work of an evangelist. Nothing can stop you. You're more than a conqueror.
HAPPY New Month.

SPEAK INTO YOUR DAY POSITIVELY
JOB 38:12

When you command your morning as the day begins, it will work for you as you have commanded it. If you close your mouth and not speak to your day, it will not speak favour to your life. It is what you speak to your day that it will give you because the day has ears.

In the spiritual realm, some people’s, day has turned into darkness Psalm 74:16. When a man’s day bring light, things become easy for him. When a man’s day is darkened, he doesn’t see opportunity; but he sees opportunity when light comes.

Morning prayers are very important. Many believers don’t know the value of morning prayers. Most people that God blessed especially in the scriptures had encounters with God in the early morning.

Some people go out and their day spoke evil and they never came back, their career ended; their day ate them raw because they never commanded their day.

When they deposit evil into a man’s life, it will not allow good things come to pass in his life. Evil deposit can be in form of tiredness, laziness, sickness just to stop a man from receiving the good things God has prepared for him. Sometimes, spirits divert the attention of believers from locating their helpers that would have helped them.

Devils can write evil but the hand of God can wipe it off. If you a man does not speak to his day, spiritual wall will stand before his visitation because they have already spoke about your victory over the night and so if you don’t speak, they may hinder you. SO SPEAK INTO Your DAY and Teach your children how to speak into their days every morning. HALLELUJAH. SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE!
I AM DOING A NEW THING! (lsaiah 43:19;)

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Friends when God is doing a new thing no one, absolutely no one can stop God. I don’t know about you but I have learnt this in my own personal life experiences that I can’t stop God from doing what God wants to do, and no one can stop God from doing what God wants me to do, if I am willing to follow him in obedience and trust.

When God wanted to take his people out of Egypt no one, not Pharaoh, his army or the sea could prevent their exodus. God did a miracle by dividing the waters to set his people free. You can’t stop God.

When God called Nehemiah to go and build the wall around Jerusalem there was huge opposition but Nehemiah built that wall to protect Israel. Why? Because you can’t stop God!

When God wanted to save Nineveh no one could stop that. Not even a reluctant and sulking prophet Jonah whose heart was not in the message he preached. All of Nineveh was saved. Why? Because you can’t stop God!

When the Wisemen did not return to tell King Herod about the baby Jesus, Herod out of fear and jealously ordered the ex*****on of all male children under the age of two but did not succeed in killing Jesus. Why? Because you can’t stop God!

When God is doing a new thing it cannot be business as usual. JUST TRUST HIS PROCESS. HMMM. HALLELUJAH. SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

HINDRANCE TO WINNING
PHILIPPIANS 2: 10-16

As you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain" Philippians 2:16.
Hindrance is defined as anything that provides resistance, delay, or obstruction to something or someone expected goal, success or achievements.

Now let's talks about what causes delay or obstructs us in the Christian walk /race from winning and attaining expected success.
Believers are expected to run with fresh instructions as the veil of His words is removed unto us daily in our walk with Christ Jesus.
Running with fresh instructions and guidelines aids our Christian walk to be smooth without hindrance.

Paul encourages Philippians in this text and all believers today, that salvation must express itself in progressive Christian living and upright character that impacts lives.
The life of every believer must shine out the light of Christ in a new and complete way of life to eliminate the moral darkness that has engulfed the world.

However, some believers are compromising the Holy Spirit teaching by causing a hindrance in running with God's messages in the present world by their adulterated teaching to suite their selfish desires and fame.
If you consider the teachings of Christ too hard and disallow Christ to live His life and wills through you, and therefore opts for adulterated teachings, this will cause a great hindrance to your Christian walk.

The act of considering that Christ life cannot be lived in certain locations or continents of the world would cause hindrance to shining out the life of Christ wherever you are located.
God permits us to move from one location to another to allow us illuminate others with Christ-like-living.
Are you washed with the blood of the lamb?
Is your garment white as snow?

Then go out each day to lighten up your environment and those that come in contact with you, in doing these, you impact your world, reduced the grip of darkness and demonic power, expand God's Kingdom and attracts Divine delights with a life that pleases God - This is your purpose for living.

PRAYER: Father, help me to see as You see; remove every hindrance and stubbornness that is delaying my running in Your will for my life in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE!

GOD IS ABLE!
Ephesians 3:20 - Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all

that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
If someone said to you, God is able! That would be a great statement. But it goes on,

God is able to do and not just able to do. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all. And not only able to do exceedingly abundantly above all but able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.

Job 42:2 – I know that you can do anything. And that no purpose of yours can’t be stopped. What test or trial are you facing? Do you believe God can do anything, and that nothing can stop His purposes from being fulfilled? It’s one thing to believe in God’s ability when all is well, but quite another when, like Job, you’ve lost everything and your world is falling apart.

Jeremiah 32:17 – There is nothing to hard for you. (Almighty God, you have made the heavens and the earth by your almighty power)

God is omnipotent (All powerful) and is able to do anything. No matter what you are going through our God is able to make a way and deliver you. It may seem impossible in the natural, but let me assure you on the authority of God’s Word, He is able.

GOD IS ABLE TO SAVE Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him… The word “uttermost” means completely and forever.” God is able to save us completely and forever. God can save anybody. 1 Tim. 1:15 – Paul called himself Chief of Sinners GOD CAN SAVE FROM THE GUTTERMOST TO THE UTTERMOST! HALLELUJAH! SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

God Is The Secret Of Breakthrough
2 Samuel 5: 19 : 20.

With new levels come new devils. All hell has been breaking loose in your life because the enemy recognizes the oil of the anointing on your life. The anointing attracts trouble, but the devil is no match for the power of God.

Go down to the stronghold. The stronghold represents the place of prayer. Every time David encountered a battle, he got down on his knees and sought God’s guidance.

And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand” (2 Samuel 5:19

God gave David a mighty breakthrough, and David said, “The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters (verse20).

The weapon may be formed against you, but it will not prosper. The curse is broken.

God does not change, but his methods change, and you have to tap into what God is saying and doing now. He will often tell us to do things out of our routine and comfort zone, so we can learn to trust in him and not merely his method.

And by running to the secret place, seeking the Lord’s specific guidance, and staying in tune with what God was speaking, David continued to live a life of victory. And as we apply these spiritual strategies to our lives, we too will continue to experience success and breakthroughs. Hallelujah. SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE!
Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13 )

When it was time for the children of Israel to cross over the Jordan River to possess their inheritance, the Promised Land, God gave specific instructions to Joshua.
Joshua 3:7-8.

According to God’s instruction, the children of Israel set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan with the priests bearing the Ark of the Covenant before them.

As soon as the priests’ feet who bore the Ark of the Covenant dipped into the edge of Jordan, the waters were cut off for the people to cross over.

Joshua 3:14-16
However, for all the people to cross over the Jordan, the priests who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD had to stand firm on the dry ground amid the Jordan.
Joshua 3:17

God’s mighty presence rested upon the Jordan that parted the Jordan River for God’s people to cross over on dry ground into their inheritance (the Promised Land).
The Psalmist reveals this truth.
Psalms 114:1-4

Besides the priests bearing or carrying God’s presence (symbolized by the Ark of the Covenant) into the Jordan to divide it, the priests were also expected to stand firm in what God had already done so that all the children of Israel might cross over on the dry ground to inherit their Promised Land.

That is also what is expected of God’s servants today!

Suppose God’s priests or servants today fail to stand firm in the finished work of Jesus Christ. In that case, God’s children following them will not be able to appropriate, experience, or enjoy all their inheritances or blessings in Christ.

Sadly, the sermons or teachings of many servants of God today are not based on what the Lord Jesus Christ has done, accomplished, or given to humankind by His sacrificial death on the cross and His triumphant resurrection from the dead. SHALOM! SHALOM!!.

It Is Possible!

Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
(Mark 9:23)

Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?
(John11:40)

Every true child of God is a believer!
Yeah, you're a believer!
You have faith!
You have the faith that can move any mountain!
Lazarus was dead, buried, already stinking , seemed hopeless but by the word of the Lord, He came back!

That same word is now in your mouth!
they're Angelic presence in the congregation, and would hearken to the word of God from your mouth! They are ministering spirits!

Speak out boldly anywhere you're and expectantly.

There shall be restoration
Dry bones shall rise again.
Long awaited blessings shall manifest.
What men thought was impossible shall b made possible. Glory!
And God shall be glorified!

Good Morning, ON GOD ALONE! Ask Until Your Joy Is Full

The scripture tells us that whatever we ask in the name of Jesus shall be given to us (John 14:14). Matthew 7: 7 also promised that we should ask and it shall be given to us.
As sweet as these promises are, they do not come to pass at our own timing but according to God’s timing.
God is not a God of “promise and fail.” Whatever He says He will do, He will surely do- He is not a man that he should lie- He’s too faithful to fail, Hallelujah!

However, God’s ways are not our ways; he does things as He pleases, without permission from us or without explanation to us.

God can never make mistakes or commit blunder- Never! He is a good God. Whatever he’s doing (even if it doesn’t make sense to us) will always be in our favour in the long run.
All we have to do is to keep trusting him and lean not on our own understanding- don’t try to figure out what He’s doing, just trust and follow him “sheepishly.

keep on asking until our joy is full" comes from John 16:24, which encourages believers to pray persistently for their needs so they may experience God's joy fully. This is not about having a joyless life, but about a deeper, more robust joy that comes from God, rather than circumstances, which is sustained through faith, trust in God's goodness, and a correct understanding of His nature as a loving Father who desires to give good gifts to His children.
