Jesus found what he called "so great faith" in the heart of a centurion in the Book of Luke: the 7th chapter. And with great emphasis, in his exact words, he stressed: "I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel". What was Israel missing?

The assertion of the centurion by Jesus should be questionable, given only "the supposed great faith" to have been ordinarily need-engineered; having, in other words, no true gestation prior to when the need for healing was on the table. But no!

This journey to great faith predated the occasion of the centurion's servant coming down with a sickness so grave that warranted death. And the Jewish elders wouldn't have beseeched Jesus to heal his servant just because he's a centurion.

His dealings with the Jewish elders, loving the people and the nation, even when himself is clearly non-jew, and going as far as building for them a place of worship, is a true testament of faith in his heart. And the diary of his great faith works was disclosed to Jesus by the elders. Obtain a good report. Show your faith by your works. Selah!

Many news already flying, but whose report do you believe? Only those who have issues with their "identity" panics at certain news. But, for the righteous(they who truly do know and are known by their God), the truth of God assures that while the world would panic at the invasion of a plague(which isn't the first and certainly won't be the last to invade earth), we will certainly not only be bold but reign victoriously, in times like this...we shall say that there's a lifting up!
"The heaven is the Lord, even the heavens; but the earth has he given to the children of men". (Psalms 115:16). Such a providential legislation as this gives mankind the ownership of the earth, that's why even after the rapture must first have taken place and then the new world order, so-called, the Kingdom of the son of man will return to be established on earth after that thousand year of the destruction of the wicked. Why so? Because "the earth has he given to the children of men" — human race.
Earth is ours, and no plague is plague enough to kick us out of our possession. We are not surprised it came; it's been here before, severely, and will keep visiting, because running to and fro is its eternal hobby; but we keep laughing, and even him that sits in the heavens shall laugh(Job 5:22, Psalms 2:4)...because we are assured of God and are super-confident that "it shall not come near us".(Psalms 91:10)
Do away with the fear...fix your "identity". Make the Lord, even the most high your dwelling place, and there you have the surest antidote to whatever it is.(Psalms 91:9)
It's our year of laughter(KingsWordEverywhere); and not just for this year alone. We are actually laughing throughout this decade. Therefore, don't let nothing take away your laughter. "You loose your victory when you loose your joy". That's why the best strategy of the devil is to get you to be afraid. Else, you can't tell me why on earth an angel, scripturally acclaimed for extraordinary beauty, suddenly turns himself into something "worgly"(ie. coinage of 'wor-wor' and ugly). Notice also that the witchcraftic activities of his cohorts are more prevalent at night; and that's because of the seeming natural insecurities associated with the absence of light.
Hey! Fear breeds a much greater torment.

Life has been designed, even, to allow certain "ugly" events be, because they inform some materials with which we're rightly navigated, at some points, on the path of purpose, and got spurred up for the achievement of greater feats.
Now, the greatest misfortune plays out, not necessarily when this "ill-events" happen, but when we don't allow them dissipate the right energy in us to strive hard, after they must have happened.

If Peninnah had not provoked Hannah,(1Sam. 1:1-16), she definitely would have continued to assume her condition as, "one of those things". YOU ARE FINISHED, NOT WHEN YOU FAIL, BUT WHEN THE FAILURE DOESN'T PROVOKE YOU TO DO BETTER. Hannah's provocation was the key that unlocked her breakthrough; all the while she's been cool and used to the situation of things. But, when the event took place that got her into a state of great bitterness of soul, even the devil knew that his time was up.
I tell you what? Many stories of greatness relates with certain ugly events which once took place from whence the one at the receiving end found energy to come up with a decision, followed through with executions, impressed strategies and evaluations, and finally got perfection.

Events of life, whether good or bad — they bring you materials to advance your course. Get the merchandise, and let go the vehicular-circumstance that delivered them.

Compliment of the season.......

God's intention for sending Jesus to come die on the cross wasn't primarily for the remission of your sin and to have you delivered from the control of the devil. Beyond just having people stop committing sin and being set free from the bo***ge of Satan, the original intent of God was to raise seeds in Christ who should prolong His days and declare His generation, having the pleasures of the Lord prosper in their hands. (Isa. 53:10).
These seeds weren't to be produced biologically after another kind of human breeds, but to be raised among the premiere biological breeds, only with a different spiritual DNA capable of overriding the biological. Herein is the mystery that defeats sickness, disease and death. However, since the seeds to be raised are already here and have had somethig to do with the corruptible, atonement for sin and every other transaction that follows in the way of salvation became expedient. So, you must really be born again, otherwise you're none of His.
.
If you're born again, then away from the satan-sin-discuss, you're the Seed of Christ, replicating His life here. Be conscious of this, and enforce it. You're incorruptible and indestructible. You're

While DEFAULT SETTING – 'Na so e be o' – yield normal results, only INTENTIONAL LIVING – 'Na so e suppose be' – yield better results.
Sickness in your body makes you want to lay down by default, but faith in you gets you up on your feet intentionally, whether the feeling be palatable or not.
Faith is intentional; don't just talk it, walk it!

A woman caught in THE VERY ACT was brought to JESUS...but though not encouraging the circumstance, He protected the culprit, foremost, and afterwards told her to go and sin no more.
But, why would Jesus do that, seeing the woman didn't deny the allegation? WISDOM! He understood the intention of the accusers. The intent wasn't really about humiliating the woman, but Jesus himself was the target.
Children of God must be guided in this understanding; knowing that it's not about the ABOMINATION, but about striking the Shepard at such a predetermined season of expansion so the sheep would scatter. Mind you the Shepard is not the sheep owner — Jesus is!
If you think it's about BIODUN, you got it wrong child of God! It's about the investment of God's business. You and me, judging this matter has no eternal benefit to the kingdom. The Bible already told us what to do in times like this. It said, you and me, should protect the business(Phil.1Vs17,18) while we leave the culprit for the master to handle(Rom. 4Vs1-4).
Disrupting the church service of COZA is so wrong; and all you social media accomplice, be warned.

It's dangerous to be prayerless, but much more dangerous to be less-spiritually-sane. Prayer is affirming verbally what you already KNOW. You might not be talking but so long the CONSCIOUSNESS of your Spirit-identity is intact you can't "die" like mere men. ..He that is born of the Spirit is Spirit(not a spirit, but same Spirit)...
As it's natural for mere men to feel pain, get frustrated, etc; so the reverse is to one born of the Spirit(though things may seem not the way they should, but he that is from above is above all).

There are certain life's storms that the more your effort to calm them, the more turbulent they'll certainly become. Jesus proved that sleeping in the midst of such storms, in spite of how chaotic they may seem, is just the surest way to calming them; and for His disciples, however, staying awake to reckon full consciousness with these storms rather intensify the captivity of their terror.
I don't know what storm is around your life that has become increasingly turbulent amidst sincere efforts to bring it calmness; seeing the reality of what greater havoc staying awake to beholding this situation leaves in its wake even, I now beg you, please go to bed! Only enjoy the presence of those ill situations in the cool absence of your mind and consciousness.
Notice that the mad-man never swallows a drug, though he ever dines at the "refuge-dump" eatery, and lodges daily at the "road-side" hotel, under the sun and in the rain! Does he even know that he is mad; talk more of recognizing the fate that his health could come under attack? Though he feels the symptoms in his body like a normal person, yet he gives it no place in his mind.
Choosing to be mentally present in matters that demands your total mental absence sets the stage for your defeat. In other words, being sane can weaken your defense center under certain circumstance as well as being awake. It goes without saying, thus: the appropriation of due sanity/insanity and sleepfulness/sleeplessness is a stiller of storms; and such mix translates in spiritual mindedness wherein is life and peace.

Be ye spiritually minded and you shall not loose your victory.

Have you ever had a dream where the devil tries to afflict you, and you suddenly discovered you couldn't shout: "Jesus!"...as all effort to echo the name failed? I've had such encounter countless times.
Now, it goes to show what power that name dissipates in the realm of the spirit whenever it's mentioned. (Phil.2:10). Remember, as His birth was prophetically predestined, so was His name providentially intended to bore such power and significance much peculiar with His purpose — for there's no name given under heaven whereby men shall be SAVED!(Acts 2:21; Acts 4:12; Rom. 10:13; Isa.9:6; Jer. 23:6).
Little wonder in "Acts of the Apostles", the agents of the devil(the Sadducees) warned vehemently against mentioning that name, though had little or nothing against preaching that the word(law) of God be kept by all men. (Acts 4:1-33).
The name was given to identify Him, but much more to grant you access unto your inheritance in Him. And so, IF ALL I SAY IS JESUS, JESUS, JESUS, THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH....

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
While those events which are uncalled-for MUST NATURALLY happen, those called-for SHOULD SUPERNATURALLY happen. And, the possibility of the latter is providentially designed to come through in the place of PRAYER. The destiny of Christ on earth lends lucid credence to this truth: Though He was God-in-man walking the surface of the earth, it took Him breathtaking travails to prevail — Blood, Sweat, & Tears became expedient!
A single decree may cause that it rain not, but only through incessant travails are the clouds put together again, even in the form of a man's hand; for there are kinds that goeth not except by the understudy; such had always got the moxie to provoke sounds of the abundance of rain. Reiterating how much power is generated when we pray without ceasing, Hezekiah altered the decision of God to terminate his life. So, who is he that pronounced a death sentence over your life? I tell you what? Even though it's coming from God, you've got an opportunity to seek redress on the prayer altar, as Hezekiah proved. The presidents and princes of King Darius' days understood that the preference Daniel enjoyed over them had something to do with an altar he was used to paying obeisance to; so they sought every occasion against him, to the end as to making a dog-breakfast of his prayer life. But Daniel would ever persistent, praying always with his window open towards Jerusalem; provoking angelic visitation.
This, the devil knows, that's why the most tiring activity in Christendom is PRAYER; he permits that we sing good songs, dance & shout, preach exceptional sermons, close our bank accounts for missions amongst others, host financial empowerment seminars featuring seasoned resource persons, organize singles & married programs with topnotch relationship experts, build state-of-the-art cathedrals, stage music concerts featuring stellar-award winning veterans, and basking in the merry-go-rounds of galla night, suya night, ishewu & bush-meat night — the air of entertainment.
Hey!.....Much more, we must pray!!!
Shalom.

THE SUBTLETY OF THE TALE-BEARER

"...hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" — (Gen.3:1-5).

It's very easy to conclude that Eve wasn't smart enough, considering the portion of scripture above, on the assumption that been in her shoes you would rather do better.
Don't forget that the devil had been with God; and the mystery of his "subtletic" expertise predate this realm, that you can hardly beat him at his game, just by being smart. Ask Samson — he'll tell you about the laps of Delilah; ask David — he'll gist you about Bath-sheba's vital statistics; and, if you still care, maybe you can inquire about Abacha's executors — All had to do with the APPLE, transmogrified! "Tell it not in Gath, publish it not on the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice; lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph". — (2 Sam.1:19,20).
Except God be for you, even when you think you standeth, the devil can communicate your fall via many occasions; and oh...you saw above how THE MIGHTY fell! As a matter of emphasis, the devil steps up his game per second, with new negotiation tact to convincingly prove that should you not "Utterly destroy ALL" — (1 Sam. 15), "You shall not surely die" — (Gen.3:4). He plays on your mind to weaken you psychologically such that the idea of GIVING GOD ALL(100%) YOUR HEART and not reserving even 5% for that boy or that girl, or that thing, doesn't make sense. You are hardened — (Heb.3:13). Of course, "I love God, but 95% is okay...only let JUST THIS 5% be reserved maybe for THAT THING"(that look pleasant to the eyes... Gen.3:6) — you say!! "Eve was very stupid shaa", — There again you go!!!
Don't forget, the negotiator is a master at his trade. He'll allow you, quite alright, to be a Christian, speak in tongues, destroy the images, the strange gods and ashtaroths, cut down the groves; but be sure he'll tell you that nothing is wrong sparing only THE HIGHPLACES — (2 Sam.1:19; 2 Chron.20:33; 2 Kings 15:4,5; 1 Sam.7:3,4). Of course, "You can go and sacrifice to your God in the wilderness if that's where you chose, BUT DON'T GO TOO FAR with God" — (Exo.8:28)

It's now you and the serpent in the garden. Receive grace to be smarter than Eve. And while you do all your SMARTMATICS, don't forget, TIME MAY NOT BE ON YOUR SIDE; better do a short work redeeming the time....
SHALOM!!!
