How your decision can affect your destiny HOW YOUR DECISION CAN AFFECT YOUR DESTINY . Jere.1:4-5. Says : Then the word of the Lord can unto me saying : Before I formed thee in the belly , I knew thee , and before thou camest forth out of the womb , I sanctified thee , and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations . Yesterday we look into the place of obedience in fulfilling destiny . But today , we want to look into how your decision can affect your destiny either positively or negatively . May the Lord help us to always take right decisions in life in Jesus Name . Everyday of our lives , we take one decision or the other . We take decision about what and when to eat . We decide where to go , who to be our friends etc . In the book of Joshua 24:15 . Joshua said to the people of Israel to choose whom they we serve, but he said as for him and his house , he will serve the Lord . In Deut .30:19 Moses said, I call heaven and earth to record this day against you , that I have set before you life and death , blessing and cursing : therefore choose life , that both thou and thy seed may live . Moses set two things before the children of Israel , life and death , blessing and cursing . He advised them to choose life . I advise you too , to choose life, so you may live and be blessed . Whatever you become today is as a result of the decisions you took yesterday . By His grace , I chose to give my life to Jesus in the village , when I had the gospel , and that is the reason why I am what I am today . If not , I would have ended up in the village as a local farmer or I would have died . In 2kings 5:20 -27 . Gehazi decided to be convetious and collected the gifts that Naaman brought which his master rejected , and lied about it, the result was leprosy. He died as a leper . That was the result of his decision . But in the case of Joseph , he decided to run away from adultery , though he suffered for the sin he never committed , but at the end , his decision paid off , he became a prime minister in Egypt . If he had decided to do what the wife of his master asked him to do, he would have ended up in the house of potiphar. Nobody who have had anything about him today . Gen.39, 0 , 41 . Esau decided to sell his birthright , and later regretted his decision . Hebrews.12:16-17. Says: Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright . For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessings , he was rejected : for he found no place of repentance , though he sought it carefully with tears . Many have sold their birthright like Esau today , because of little enjoyment . Don't let the devil steal your precious destiny because of the enjoyment of fornication and adultery . Run away from anything that can tamper with your destiny. Take right decisions base on the word of God, and you shall fulfill your destiny in Jesus Name . Prayer point: : Father , please guide me everyday of my life, to always take right decision in Jesus Name .

My God a strong Tower OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD 9 TEXT: Psalms.124:8 Our help is in the Name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth . In Prov.18:10. The Bible says: The Name the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it , and is safe . God has many Names with great significant for each of His Name . Let mention some of His Names and what they stand for: 🔵JEHOVAH NISSI , which means , the Lord our banner , or The Lord of hosts. Ex.17:14-15 : And the Lord said unto Moses , write this for a memorial in a book , and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua : for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar , and called the name of it Jehovah--Nassi . Psalms.24:7-10: "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory". When you have the Lord of host fighting your battle for you , you are assure of victory, because any one fighting you is fighting against Him, and nobody fight against God and win . Jere. 42:11: "Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him , saith the Lord : for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand". Jere.1:19 says: And they shall fight against thee ; but they shall not prevail against thee ; for I am with thee , saith the Lord, to deliver thee. The Lord of host can use any method to deal with your enemies: 1. If He likes, He can rain down fire on the enemies and roast them . 2kings.1:9-15. 2. If He likes , He can drown them like He did to the Egyptians. Ex.14:13-28. 3. If He likes , He can cause confusion in the midst of the enemies and they begin to destroy themselves like He did for Jehosaphat and the people of Judah. 2Chro. 20:20-25 . So whatever battle you may be fighting now , just hand it over to the Lord of host, and He will fight for you and give you total victory. Shall we pray : Oh Lord of Host , I hand over my battles into your hands , please fight for me and give me total victory in Jesus Name .

When we fear God THE FEAR OF GOD 3 Psalms.34:9-10: "O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing". Yesterday , we looked at who are the saints of God. Today we shall look at the rewards of the fear of God . May the Lord help us in Jesus Name . Our text tells us , that we should fear the Lord because there is no want to those who fear Him. If you fear the Lord , you remain connected to Jesus , the source of our supply , thereby , there shall be no want in your life. As long as remain connected to Jesus , there shall be no want , why because in Gen.17:1 . Our God who is the source of our supply is the Almighty God, the All-suficient God, the God that is more than enough, the sea that never dry, the mother's breath. All power belong to Him , including the power to make wealth. Deut.8:18: "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day". God give the power to make wealth . In 1Sam. 2:7-8: "The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them". Both power to make poor , and to make rich , and power to bing low and to lift up, all are in the hands of God. If you don't want the source of your supply to dry up , all you need is to remain connected to Jesus Chrsit. John.15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Any river that is disconnected from the source will dry up. So never you allow anything to separate you from Jesus Christ . If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John.15:6 . Shall we pray : Father , please do not allow anything to separate me from you, constantly supply all my needs according to your riches in glory in Jesus Name .

Our help is with God OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD 26 TEXT: Psalms.124:8 Our help is in the Name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Another Name of the Lord is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Rev.17:14: "They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” The Lord of lords means the Lord over all other lords. There are small gods who called themselves gods. But the Almighty, is the Lord over them all . The Lord of lords, He is Lord of host , both in heaven , on earth , and under the earth . Psalms.24:7-10: Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Col.2:15: "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it". The Lord of lords is the king of glory . He is a glorious king who reigns over all . The Lord of lords is mighty in battle . Psalms.24:8: "Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle". He has never lost a war . He is the man of war. The Lord His is Name . Ex.15:3: "Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name". His dominion is forevermore . Psalms.8:6: "Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet". All things are under His feet , including your enemies . Therefore , you don't need to be afraid of the enemies , all you need to do is to run to the Lord , and he will fight for you and save you and deliver you . Shall we pray : Oh Lord of lords, please fight for me and give me total victory over all my enemies in Jesus Name .

The secret place THE SECRET PLACE . Psalms.91:1: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The secret place of most High God is a secure place full of many benefits some of which we shall mention as we continue : 1. It is a place of security . When God hide you in that secret place , the evil that flies in the day and in the night Will not locate you. Psalms.91:3,5 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilenc. Verse 5 says : Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day. 2. When you are under the cover of the Almighty God , no weapon form against you shall prosper. Isaiah. 54:17: "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord" 3. No enchantment can work against your life. Numbers. 23:23: Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! 4. When you are in the secret place of God, all your needs will be provided for . Elijah was in the secret place at the river Brook, and God was sending raven to feed him there . 1kings. 17:1-7 Who are those that can dwell in the secret place of the most hHigh? The children of God , those who are living a holy life . Psalms.15:1-3. To remain in that secret place , you must keep on praying and remain connected to God. Shall we pray : Father , hide me in your secret place, for the rest of my life.

The fear of God THE FEAR OF GOD 2 Psalms.34:9-10 "O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing". The Bible says in our text that the saints of the Lord should fear Him . Who are the saints of God? The saints are those that have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb, and that are constantly wash in the blood of the lamb. Rev.1:5: " And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood". Rev.7:14 : "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb". For you to qualify as one of the saints of the Lord , you my be washed in the precious blood of Jesus . 1John.1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin". So, another thing that will qualify you as the saint of God is that you must walk in the light as He is in the light . John.8:12: "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” As Saints of God , you must walk in the light, because birds of the same feather flock together. Amos.3:3: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" As saints of God , you must live holy as He that has called you is holy . 1Pet.1:15-16. "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy". The question now is are you a saint of God ? Have you given your life to Jesus ? Are you living a holy life . You can not live holy by your power , you need the help of God . Ezekiel. 11:19-20 : "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God ". Ezekiel. 36:26: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. You must first and foremost surrender to Jesus , then He will empower you to live holy and become the saint of God . Shall we pray : Father , I surrender my life to you , save me, and wash me in your blood . Sanctify me by your spirt in Jesus Name . Father , take away from me a heart of stone , please give a heart of the flesh to be able to do your will all the days of my life. Father create in me a new spirit, so I can be empowered to live a holy life everyday of my life in Jesus Name .

Ask for your joy to be full. John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Jesus is telling us today about one of the surest ways of getting things done and requests granted - if my name is on it. It is not only to God the Father but even when such requests are made to things, situations, conditions and circumstances; Jesus said that once His Name is on it you will get what you asked for. In all of the above the only condition given for your request to be granted is only if the Name of Jesus Christ is on it. In the same vein, when Elijah wanted to make a promise to Elisha, he put a condition - 2 Kings 2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 2:10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. Though Elisha asked for near impossible thing, his condition of getting it is if only Elisha could see. Elisha shouted to the master 2 Kings 2:12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. This was the evidence that he met the condition and he got the blessing of double portion. Open your mouth today and this season; and begin to declare what you want because there is a condition to receive which is very simple to meet - if you put the Name of Jesus Christ. God told Abraham to look at the four cardinal points of the earth and that whatever his eyes could see God will give to him. Open your mouth today and make requests concerning your family and your business and career and marriage and children and health and dreams in the Name of Jesus Christ and you will have your requests granted - Jesus Christ said so. John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Jesus said, if my NAME is on the request I will do it. It shall be so in your life and family this season in Jesus Christ name Amen.

US decimated Iraq The US bombed and decimated Iraq on the claim that it had actionable intelligence that Iraq had Nuclear weapons, till today none was found. CNN was at the forefront leading the propaganda. You see, many of you are so ignorant, that you think the West cares about you. CNN will set NIGERIA on fire and it is us NIGERIANS who will burn. We had an internal issue as a nation, a panel has been set up. If any one has evidence to prove that the army killed People, go and present it. We wouldn't do that, we keep running from pillar to post trying to incite people against our Government. Ignorance is bliss until it's sets you on fire then, you will understand that it is not bliss. Libya, Syria Afghanistan are countries in recent history that the west has destroyed. France is destroying all her former colonies by forcing them to deposit over 50% of their reserve in the French Central Bank and charging them interest when ever they take a part of the sum. This is going on and the Western media is quiet and you think CNN loves NIGERIA thus giving a report about an event she was not physically present at? *BBC Africa* had a reporter on ground and she witnessed first-hand what transpired and according to her account, Soldiers did not fire at protesters but in the Air, yet we don't want to beleive that. We want to believe the one that will incite people to anarchy and carnage like we saw after the Lekki Toll gate incidences. We must learn to solve our problems by ourselves and not invite our enemies to solve it for us because we have chosen to see ourselves as our enemy. The West is not our friend in Africa, they have never been and will never be. It is very ironical that the people who applaud and use Rwanda to taunt NIGERIA, do not realise that Rwanda is defying the west including CNN that is a tool being used to malign Paul Kigame and his Government. Copied. They want Nigeria to be like Rwanda but dont even know how Rwanda is running her Government. The NIGERIAN security forces have their excesses, we don't need CNN to sell us a massacre narrative for us to know this. We should stop being naive and grow up to realise that WE ARE OUR PROBLEM AND WE ARE OUR SOLUTION.

Difference between a house and a home Topic: Marriage Today (Navigating the New Normal) Text: Isaiah 43:18-19 Marriage is an institution that was started by God. Genesis 2:18 Today, this institution is under threat of covid-19 To navigate is to find a part or way. To direct carefully and safely (Navigate). It is likened to a ship with a compass. There is only one compass (Bible) in marriage today. If your compass is not working, you are lost. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOUSE AND A HOME. House is a building or a mansion. People envy it. A home is peaceful despite appearance. It gives joy and peace. Only God can build a home. Genesis 1:27-28 Upon what foundation a marriage is built will determine how well the marriage will stand or crumble. There is need for planning before going into marriage. One must be ready before going into marriage. Examine yourself, deal with yourself, leave the log in another eyes. The best councillors cannot counsel themselves with the principles they use for others. We must take corrections and learn daily from our mistakes. Jesus Christ Himself was parented. His parents took care of Him and He obeyed them. Mark 6:48, Luke 2 #MarriageToday

Is Nigeria economy in recession? NIGERIA IN ECONOMIC RECESSION? IT IS A LIE! They said that Nigeria has slided into a new phase of economic recession. ME: The politicians are joking with themselves. They are putting themselves in deep holes. Was Nigeria like this when you came into office? Our money is with you and you MUST pay back. The money you spent on federal legislators for buying new and very expensive vehicles during covid-19 when the world was in search of healing. It is the money you stole for palliatives supports. The money you burrowed in our names and you shared amongst yourselves. Woe betide you! We are not in recession. You and your families are in deep trouble. Our money is on the heads of your children you sent to study abroad while you promoted ASUU strike in Nigeria. The money is what you stole from NNPC while you agreed to permit MBuhari to remain as Minister of Petroleum when you know very well that he does not have the mental capacity to handle the Presidency. You ruined our refineries and plan to import refined oil from Niger Republic. Did you not promise in 2015 that you will fix the refineries? Una nor well. We cannot be in recession! We have everything needed to build roads, railways and bridges but you prefer to borrow from China so that you could inflate the cost and share our resources with them. Our money is in the budgets you padded and stole. You forged results, rigged and killed our compatriots just to be in office. You knew that you were good for nothing with nothing to offer; yet you desperately contested elections in order to be called Excellencies and Honourables. Nonsense !! We are not in recession. Our money is in what you paid as hospital bills abroad. We, the people shall surely get a refund from you with interest. Our money is in the bullets you bought for your soldiers to shoot and kill peaceful #EndSARS protesters. https://web.facebook.com/hashtag/endsars?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZUxOvNpvIBriRXoIQn2DWqYWF0CZQNTAN6cQPvBkDAIu3vOjPmiddbpu_qhCjxzU8WPoai-KODImUwFA4qiMuS-Eli2Sm7NnFT85FJbe81CKnZjpFCS0sf4J80ndDFRRKfVxrK6pmowd8K3kAY4XkikRZbyMAk7HUOfzugNL6mNhR_wA97MMYPQiQX_p__RN8Q&__tn__=*NK-y-y-R It is what you spent and continue to spend in the high cost of senseless governance where 50 police officers protects one thievery politician. We are not in recession. It is the money pocketed by governors as monthly security votes. Recession is in the money you stole meant to equip our army and in the N2.2bn you spent on 'prayers' to fight boko haram. Did we not tell you that you should restructure Nigeria? Did we not tell you to scrap the wasteful Senate? That your brains are in mental recession does not mean that Nigeria must be in economic recession. Infact, thunder is too slow to strike! ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE SINCE 1999 WILL HAVE NO HIDING PLACE WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS ON THE STREET OF NIGERIA. YOU CANNOT EAT YOU CAKE AND HAVE THE PENNY. WE ARE NOT, AND CANNOT BE IN RECESSION BECAUSE NIGERIA IS TOO RICH TO BE POOR, BEG OR BORROW.
