A.W. Tozer wasn’t shy about pointing out uncomfortable truths. Leonard Ravenhill has a great quote about being challenged, he would say, "Never mind if you were challenged, are you changed?"

I think about this often on Sunday mornings. We sing with boldness that Christ is “Lord of all,” that we “surrender all,” that we’ll follow wherever He leads. But have I really surrendered everything? Do those words actually reflect the way I speak to my wife, how I respond to my kids, how I approach my work, my finances, even the chores I don’t feel like doing?

Tozer’s point isn’t to stop our singing, but to make sure the words don't just pass through our lips casually—they should take firm root, settle in deep, and shape the way we live. If Jesus is Lord, then He’s Lord of our calendars, our kitchens, and our commutes. The kind of worship that pleases God doesn’t stay at church—it spills over into how we change diapers, write emails, sweep floors, forgive betrayals, speak the truth under pressure, carry grief with hope, confront sin in love, and stay faithful when it costs us.

We don’t need less singing—we need more faithfulness. Worship isn't mainly about the volume or quality of our voices, but the consistency of our obedience. Let the lyrics we sing on Sunday echo in how we live on Tuesday. The ordinary things aren’t distractions from holiness; they’re the proving ground of it.

Tozer also warned us about the growing trend of self-centered worship—songs that revolve more around what we feel, what we declare, what we will do for God, than about who God actually is. (insert big promotion here for psalm singing) He saw the shift toward worship becoming a form of entertainment, a performance rather than an act of reverence and submission. His words here are a warning: not just to live out the songs we sing, but to make sure those songs are centered on the right object of worship—God Himself. True worship isn’t about stirring our own emotions or spotlighting our commitment, but beholding the holiness, majesty, and mercy of the Triune God. That focus reorders everything else.

So before we sing next time, maybe take a moment to pause and pray: “Lord, don’t let this be about me. Let this be about You—Your character, Your worth, Your glory. Help me mean these words not just with my mouth but with my whole life. From the biggest sacrifice to the smallest chore, make it true worship.”

Worship with your life. Mean the words. Fold your laundry to the Glory of God.

About 8 years ago, Sis Paula Okoroafor in one of our meetings prayed saying "Thank you Lord for our existence". That statement has been one of the most impactful statements I have heard. The word "existence" stood out to me until this very day.

It is an indescribable privilege TO EXIST and I daily bless God for making me to come into existence. He orchestrated and sustains that existence for His glory and so I thank Him for another year to celebrate a birthday.

My dear sister Jumoke Adeyemi passed on to glory about 6 months ago translating from physical existence into a glorious one and as painful and heart wrenching her transition was, I thank God for how much He has used her to impact my life. I was motivated by her academic excellence, her work ethics, her simplicity and her faith. I thank God for her existence.

Our existence is translational, "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands... For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." - Bible

Thank you friends and families for you prayers and wishes.

Happy birthday to me!

Rightly Dividing The Word..

COMPASS AND NAVIGATION

Navigation is very important in the journey of life especially when embarking on a journey in an uncharted or unfamiliar terrain, city, sea or ocean. The best sailors are often those who have mastered the use of their navigation system. However, terrain changes and navigation may cause more harm than good when new uncharted or undescribed feature which was not previously accounted for on the navigation map or system suddenly appears. Most sailors become unprepared and only those who are vigilant and are ready to change swiftly can escape the tragedy an uncharted features can pose to their journey. The navigation system of Titanic was not the problem, late detection of an unexpected iceberg on its path was the cause of its destruction.

The new year 2021 is an uncharted territory with many unknown events. Using our tried seasonal navigation techniques and practices will be helpful but solely relying on them for our safety and wellbeing will be disastrous. We must not be a pilot who relies on the flight route and his experience so much that he disconnect the transponder and his communication with the control tower. The control tower can see the dangers a pilot cannot see and apparent disconnection is suicidal.

Our God knows all things and He is aware of all things. Kings, presidents, CEOs, leaders and you as a family head may chart a navigation pathways for 2021 but only in the hand of God can we have a guaranteed safety. He knows more than the control tower. Rely on His grace and strength and keep your connection with him.

Nehemiah 9:12
“And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, and with a pillar of fire by night, To light for them the way in which they were to go."

John 16:13
"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."

Nothing Ever Can, Nothing Ever Will
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Every power on earth and in heaven is a shadow in His light
No authority, law or government
Challenges His sovereign might
His reign and rule have no boundary
All that is, His hands have wrought
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will overcome the Lord our God

We are well aware, we were orphans once, Bent and broken in our shame
Then He sought us out and adopted us
And now we bear his royal Name
Every sin or crime we have ever done, Is no match for Jesus' blood
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will Overcome the Lord our God

We are rescued out of darkest night, Free from Satan's evil hold
And the Kingdom of our Savior's light, Is our souls' eternal home
Though the enemy tries to steal and kill, What the death of Christ has bought
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will Overcome the Lord our God

Our God is victorious He always wins, He always wins
In love He reigns over us, He always wins, He always wins

We, the church, declare Jesus Christ is king, For He conquered death, once for all
We will live in light of His victory, Following His gospel call
And when the story ends, we know Jesus wins, For his power cannot be stopped
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will Overcome the Lord our God

God is not far away. You only need to accept Him.

WHAT SHOULD CHRISTIANS DO IN TIME OF PESTILENCE?
1. We Must Not Be Afraid
The default mode of human nature when death and pestilence is prevalent in any society is to go into a panic mode but for believers, we should not be afraid because God said he will not leave or forsake us.

2. We Must Maintain Cleanliness
We must maintain cleanliness of ourselves and our surroundings physically and spiritually.

3. Ministers and Houses of God Must be Accessible
We must ensure that the ministers and houses of God are accessible to everyone in need of them either for sheltering or for consultation/advice except in the case where the houses of God are in lock based on the directives from the government. Ministers of God need to take the position of spiritual leadership that stems from the leading of God. They need to be able to receive clear information from God and relay it in timely manner to their members. They need to be able to remind the members that are not yet mature of the love and faithfulness of God.

4. We Must Demonstrate Our Faith
Believers need to trust God not only for security from contracting the virus, bacteria or the agent causing the pestilence but also for divine healing for themselves and for their friends and relatives. Believers need to have faith that God is aware and that He is still in control to make all things work together for our good.

5. We Must Worship And Pray Often
We must worship God and pray and intercessory prayer for our society and ourselves for God’s mercy and healing.

6. We Must Not Be Selfish
We must not be one of those who are taking the advantage of the situation to enrich themselves by hoarding commodities in other to resell them and make more money. This is wickedness and God is not happy with it. It is not wrong to buy what we anticipate we will need but it is wrong to make others uncomfortable for our selfish gain.

7. We Must Prepare For The Harvest
After every pain is usually joy and happiness depending on the level of preparedness. During pestilence, we should be ready for harvest. The harvest is both spiritual and physical. Hence, a time of pestilence is a time to sow seeds for without sowing, there is no reaping. Spiritually, we need to sow the seeds of holiness, goodness and righteous living in order to harvest eternal life. Physically, we need to sow into our businesses, investments and skills to harvest abundance when the plague is over.

8. We Must Rejoice
The joy of the Lord gives unspeakable strength and it is a source of uncommon immunity against every sickness, ailment and infirmity.

SHALOM!

Saved from Epidemic and Pandemic
**************************************
Epidemic, disasters and pandemic are good reminder of how wonderful and beautiful our lives has been before they appear. We may complain of not living in a mansion, of not riding the best car, of not having the best job and of several other things but when a calamity or an epidemic surfaces, all those concerns suddenly appears to be irrelevant. We watch helplessly as lives are being snuffed out with little or no help we can render to help the situation. We watch as fear turns the world upside down. We watch as wealth gathered over several years get wiped out and practically realize why they are called 'uncertain riches'.
Human frailty become more apparent when we see that even the most powerful political figures, prime ministers, presidents and famous celebrities are not exempted. We suddenly realize how vain all we esteem so highly are and although this may cause us to become afraid, we have to remember we have a God who controls the affairs of men and declare with boldness that we are secured. "For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock."-Psalm 27:5
By faith we should lift our nations to the hands of God in prayers and supplication because we are only safe in God's hands.
