As potent as true prophesies are, they come to accomplishments before the realisation of humans. Peter remembered Jesus' words of the c**k crowing after it had happened.

The visions that was shown to Daniel was for a time and times. Also with that of Apostle John in the Island of Patmos. Considering the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D 70 by the Romans, it didn't look like it would until it happened.

Prophesies most times look like puzzles that can't be clearly understood. Even Daniel with all he saw, he wasn't shown the Church Age. No wonder Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13 that we all know in parts. Somethings are intentionally hidden by God because they may be too heavy for our understanding. This is where faith comes to play. We may have little or no physical evidences but we know that His Word is ever true and His plans are always good! We trust Him in the midst of calamities! We trust Him for more when there is abundance! We trust Him even when our mortal bodies are degrading! We trust Him when the world systems seem to be in control! We trust Him because we have a prosperous eternal life in Christ.

"As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead" -- Romans 4:17-24

DON'T ALLOW THE WEEDS TO CHOKE YOU
The Parable of the Weeds does not really make logical sense. The Greek word zizanion is a poisonous w**d that appears from a distance to look like a wheat, but has poisonous black seeds. This means that the intent of w**ds is simply to contaminate the good seeds leading to it's low yield or likely death.

What should a man do when he notice w**ds? He removes them immediately right? This is very logical! But it surprises me that the Principle of the Kingdom doesn't see it that way! It says, "Let the wheat and the w**d grow together."

Some things we call pains and suffering will grow with us no matter how much we pray and fast. Every man's life exodus has its desert experience! Some times you feel you've made a big mistake! Others times you feel like going back to Egypt! Desert experiences is to separate the child from the adult in you.

Be that man that put his hand on the plough and refuses to look back! Take a clue from Apostle Paul that said, "I press towards the mark of God's high calling therefore forgetting the past." Be like the beetle that hardly gets discouraged because it knows it's going to get to the finish line.

In this Kingdom in the midst of this evil and perverse generation, not all w**ds are meant to be removed! We will live with some because Grace is already made available!!
Matthew 13:24-30
2 Corinthians 12:7-10

IDLENESS IS NOT LAZINESS
Covid-19 was part of the Script and has come to change narratives. While many are complaining, the Vineyard Owner is looking for ready workers to harvest for Him. He is so magnanimous and eager for the harvest that He is willing to pay as much labourers that are available.

It's a symbiotic relationship! The Vineyard Owner need men to harvest for Him! The labourers are waiting for someone to hire them because they need money. We all have our intentions but it becomes a blessing when it ends as a win-win. This is the heart of God and His Kingdom.

If you've not been hired since January, 2020; your five O'Clock is already here(11th hour). Stay where you are or where the your heart leads you to and your blessings will locate you. Stop worrying about those that seems to have a better life than you this year. Their time of hire is different from yours and you will be surprised at the end of the year when you sit to compare notes, that they were not better than you. For everything under the heavens, there is a time and a season. This is your November to be hired and be paid!
Text: Matthew 20:1-16;
James 1:17.

Good morning.

BORROW FOR THAT BUSINESS
Are you one of those that are afraid to borrow for your business? You seem tied to that part of scriptures that says "a borrower is a slave to a lender! A borrower becomes a slave when he or she can't payback. Borrowing is not a sin and doesn't define you as weak and under. Most big business men run their businesses on loans. Prudency and faith is one of the secrets of money management.

Even Jesus while doing his Father's business on earth borrowed. Yes, he borrowed. Luke 5 explains how his act of borrowing impacted multitudes and blessed the unbelieving lender. A faithful and God fearing lender too is in for a blessing when he or she does it in faith.

Luke 5:1-11(TPT) "On one occasion, Jesus was preaching to the crowds on the shore of Lake Galilee. There was a vast multitude of people pushing to get close to Jesus to hear the word of God. He noticed two fishing boats at the water’s edge, with the fishermen nearby, rinsing their nets. Jesus climbed into the boat belonging to Simon Peter and asked him, “Let me use your boat. Push it off a short distance away from the shore so I can speak to the crowds.”
Jesus sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had finished, he said to Peter, “Now row out to deep water to cast your nets and you will have a great catch.” “Master,” Peter replied, “we’ve just come back from fishing all night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you insist, we’ll go out again and let down our nets because of your word.” When they pulled up their nets, they were shocked to see a huge catch of fish, so much that their nets were ready to burst! They waved to their business partners in the other boat for help. They ended up completely filling both boats with fish until their boats began to sink!When Simon Peter saw this astonishing miracle, he knelt at Jesus’ feet and begged him, “Go away from me, Master, for I am a sinful man!” Simon Peter and the other fishermen—including his fishing partners, Jacob and John, the sons of Zebedee—were awestruck over the miracle catch of fish.
Jesus answered, “Do not yield to your fear, Simon Peter. From now on you will catch men for salvation!” After pulling their boats to the shore, they left everything behind and followed Jesus."

If Jesus could borrow a boat to do his Father's business and later paid his lender with interest; you too can borrow for that your business to blossom.

Good morning.

Topic: LUKE 15: WHAT LOVE DOES
The Pharisees and teachers of the Law didn't understand the concept of Jesus Christ about the Kingdom.
They criticized him because his style of outreach was way off their normal. Why should he be giving audience to sinners, touts, corrupt government officials and neighbours that didn't belong to their fold?
Jesus used three profound parables to answer their criticism and worries:
1. Parable of the Lost Sheep
2. Parable of the Lost Corn
3. Parable of the Lost Son.

These parables gave enlightenment about the secured and unsecured! The haves and the have not! The world system and God's system! Emotions and Agape!

Speaking with my son a few days ago, he said he read a book that the author said there are sins when committed that God cannot forgive -- especially the sin against the Holy Spirit.
I told him that it is not an easy task to get to that point of committing a sin against the Holy Spirit. Our Father God is a definition of love. John 10:10 gives the idea that the agenda of Satan the thief is to kill, steal and destroy whatever that is good.
The lost sheep and coin were the enemy's doing but God by His Spirit went all the way to recover them.

The attitude of the Masters when they found the lost sheep and coin is worth emulating. When the Shepherd found the sheep, he didn't beat it for straying from the fold aimlessly.
The Bible says he carried the sheep on his shoulder joyfully and he quickly called for friends and neighbours to com toe celebrate with him in his house.
The world system wouldn't see any logical reason why one should leave the 99 sheep and 9 coins behind and go search for a negligible sheep and coin.

The display of Agape that propelled the Shepherd to go search for the lost sheep and the woman to search for the lost coin is to make the others have the confidence that their Masters can do the same for anyone of them.

I used the Parable of the Lost Son to explain God's agape to my son. I was able to bring home some lessons on attitudes, entrepreneurship and the Father's love.
I asked him what would he do if he was the boy's father. His body language gave out
his response already before he answered. He said, "I will send him away."

It is amazing to know that we have many believers like the Pharisees and the older son of that father.
The older son was angry that his father accepted a disloyal son back to his fold and organized a "big bash" for him whereas he had not been given the privilege to party or feast with his friends.

How do you feel when a new convert or a new member into your church begins to experience extraordinary blessing whereas you have not had such you gave your life to Christ?
How do you feel when that wayward girl you knew on campus is now having a more fruitful life in Christ Jesus? How do you feel when that sibling once tagged as the black sheep see to be doing better than you?
Peradventure you had felt angry at yourself and God because of such, Our Father is not counting it against you. Our heavenly Father does not love you less.
Everything the Father has is yours. He couldn't have forgotten you!

It is time to rejoice together and with the hosts of heaven when that that was lost is found.
Love found you and you too can celebrate when Love finds others. 1 Corinthians 13 says Agape never fails! It is our universal key! It wins all the time.
