YEAR OF PLENTY, TAKING NEW TERRITORIES 

Joel 2:26 KJV

[26] And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.


Welcome to year 2021, our year of Plenty, taking New Territories. This is a very promising year but not without it’s own challenges. We must be ready to make the most of it. Let us begin the year by challenging ourselves to do more and also do things differently. Most times we ask God to do things for us. Can we choose to do things for God more than we have ever done? When a farmer wants plenty harvest, he sows more seed. What are you willing to give or do for plenty this year? God gave us His only begotten Son and He’s reaping a harvest of souls consistently. This is the year of investment. Investing time, money and efforts will yield great dividends this year. Get ready to enter new territories and take over. God is very territorial. That’s why He put us here to occupy till He comes. We are Kings and kings have territories they occupy, be it in business, politics e.t.c. David got into King Saul’s palace to serve but God had a greater plan for him to take over. Don’t despise the days of little beginning. Start small instead of not doing anything at all. Your beginning may be small but your latter end shall greatly increase..God has great plan for you this year, so be very sensitive and faithful where you are. David and Joseph were very faithful despite the many hindrances they were faced with.  Jesus for the joy before Him, endured the cross and despised the shame. No more excuses and procrastination. Be prepared this year. Be unstoppable. No room for idleness. In every labor, there’s profit, be determined to profit this year. Don’t replace work with prayer and don’t replace prayer with work. Work like you have never prayed and pray like you have never worked. As you do your own part, you can be sure God will do His. God will bless you beyond your labor this year. Get ready for pleasant surprises.

Shalom.

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
