BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS Isaiah 35:3-4, Joshua 1:9 My message this morning is for those that are serving God in one capacity or the other and are becoming weary due to persecution,  opposition, fear, lack of expected result and rejection. Be careful what you believe about serving God. God does not use men, He makes men and bless them. He doesn't send people and not back them, Isaiah 51:16. The more all out you go for God the more all out He shows Himself strong on your behalf, 2Chronicles 16:9.  God wants to put his stamp of ownership upon you as you go about proclaiming His name.  When you have humbled yourself under the mighty hands of God, what He wants to do is exalt you in due season, not debase you.  It is the devil that seeks for occassion to embarass a child of God but as long as you do not give occassion to the devil he can't get you.   God will always protect you with everything He has and everything He his.  God told Paul I have men in this city, don't be afraid

WHO IS YOUR SOURCE OF INFORMATION? 1CORINTHIANS 14:10 The world we live in is controlled by information. Information is what makes our world.  Even your life is a product of information. This is why what you know and who told you what you know is very important.  It is good to be informed but it is better to be rightly informed.  Always examine whatever you are told very well and hold on only to that which is good, 1Thessalonians 5:21. Information has the power to make or mar us if we don't know what to do with them.  Don't just hold on to any kind of information, always go for the truth.  Whatever information you hold on to is what becomes true for you in your life experiences.  Meaning, 'true' is relative depending on the one who hears, not on the one who say it.  You are the one who determines whether something will be true for you or not depending on what you choose to believe.  With what I am going to be sharing with you today, you will be equipped to change the co

  CAN GOD TRUST YOU? T here is a test of trust that we must pass with God before God can commit more things to us.  Many of us have been asking God for more of this and more of that but the question God is asking is, "Can I trust you?"  God is a generous God, He is not slack concerning His promises and He hastens His Word to perform it.  He wants to work swiftly in your life but how prepared is your vessel to host His outpouring?  Are you passing the tests of God? In the last assignment that God gave you how faithful were you with it?  Can God bring sheep to your platform and trust that they will always find pastures? Can God pass money or things through you to get to those He wants to give? Can God trust you with youths, children, ladies, business e.t.c? Luke 12:42-44 says "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household to give them their portion of meat in due season?  Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh

THE ATTITUDE OF THANKSGIVING  EPHESIANS 5:19&20 Thanksgiving goes beyond just taking time out to sing praises and worship God on a daily basis. As good as that is, it is more than that.  Thanksgiving is an attitude, it is a heart positioning. Having a grateful heart towards God at all times.  The Psalmist said I will enter His gate with thanksgiving, then he went on to say I will enter His court with praise,Psalm 100:4.This is quite revealing and it illustrates exactly what I am talking about.  Thanksgiving is first a heart attitude, it is from this heart attitude that the second action spring from, praise. Praise is a verbal expression of thanksgiving.  Today, my emphasis will be on thanksgiving as an heart attitude not only as verbal expression.  When the heart is positioned right, praise is the automatic response. Luke 6:45 says "A good man out if the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth

THE MYSTERY OF THANKSGIVING PART 4 1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 Thanksgiving has a three-fold application. It ministers to us and it blesses God. The third is that it stills the enemy and the avenger.  2Chronicles 20:22 says when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab and mount Seir, which were come against Judah and they were smitten.  And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps; and in battle of shaking will he fight with it, Isaiah 30:32. Read also Psalm 149.  Many times in spiritual warfare our attention is more on the devil and what he is doing than on God, His word and His working all things for our good.  Infact, in spiritual warfare, many people pray in fear than in faith, trying to work out victory for themselves through their prayer rather than enforcing the victory that Jesus has won for us.  Attitude and right positioning is important in spiritual w

THE MYSTERY OF THANKSGIVING  PART 3 1THESSALONIANS 5:18 O ften times we ask God to bless us, but do you know we can also bless God, Psalm 103:1? When we praise God and worship Him, it blesses God.  Thanksgiving ministers to God. How do you feel when your son or your daughter turns to you and say, "Thank you for taking good care of me, you are a good mum or dad?"  The same thing that statement does to you is what it does to God when you thank Him.  But imagine a child that always complain about you not doing enough no matter what you do. You are not too enthusiastic about doing much for that child, you only do things for him out of obligation.  Many of us are used to complaining when things are not enough or not available or rough. When we complain or grumble what you are doing is praising the devil.  Complaining only makes things worse not  better. Things don't improve because you complain or grumble about them, rather it gets worse, Numbers 21:4-6.  Because when you comp

THE MYSTERY OF THANKSGIVING  (PART 2) 1THESSALONIANS 5:18 T hanksgiving is a powerful mystery. Are you sad? Begin to thank God, not for the sadness but because of what the word of God says.  As you begin to focus on the word of God, the joy in your spirit will begin to manifest in the natural and your soul begins to rejoice.  You have drawn what is in your spirit into your soul through thanksgiving because you acknowledge that in your spirit man where the Holy Spirit dwells, you have all the fruits of the spirit, of which joy is one.  So you begin to focus on what is not seen(joy in your spirit) then what is not seen becomes manifested as your experience in the physical.  1Peter1:8 says, "Whom having not seen, ye love, in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy unspeakable, full of glory.  That is thanking God and rejoicing for what you have not seen. This is exactly how faith pleases God, when we thank Him for what He has done but we have not yet seen
