TAKING STOCK IN FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV [18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. We thank the Lord for bringing us to the end of the first half of the year 2021. A whole lot has happened this year. So much uncertainty and insecurity, yet the Lord has been gracious to us. If you have lost one thing, God is the reason for not losing everything. Some times we cry we have no shoes, while there are people without feet. If we can not think, we can not thank God . People of God we have reasons to be glad irrespective of what we are faced with. This month may come to an end, the first half of the year may come to an end, the word the Lord has given you has no end. It doesn’t expire. God is never late. God has given you life because He is not done with you. He still has a plan for you. Look at the things that God has done for you in this first half. Count your blessings one by one and come to Him with a heart of thanksgiving, knowing if He did those ones, He

CELEBRATING FATHERS

Psalm 103:13 KJV [13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Father’s Day is a time set aside to honor and appreciate fathers and father figure in our lives and their influence. The third Sunday in June has been set aside every year for this celebration. Fathers give so much sacrifice but are not usually appreciated the way they should. Honoring our fathers is a command with promise. A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society. In view of this I choose to celebrate fathers, physical and spiritual in this write up. A father’s quality reflects God’s character. I want us to look at the qualities of great fathers.  -A great father knows he must sacrifice his own comfort for his fatherly duties. -A father’s love can be tough but he means well. -A great father knows that mistake is part of learning but refuses constant mistakes that is a sign of irresponsibility  -A great father t

THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

John 8:29 KJV [29] And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. Being in the presence of the Lord is having access to the realm of the supernatural, where all things are possible. We need the presence of the Lord more than ever before. There’s so much unrest and invasion in many nations of the world. The wisdom of man has failed and is still failing. It is only the presence of the Lord that can make the difference and the necessary changes that we need. The ministry of Jesus was successful because His Father did not leave Him. God is omnipresent, He is everywhere but we must desire His manifest presence in our lives. Joseph was in a foreign land as a slave, yet the presence of the Lord was with Him and made all that he did to prosper. His master also acknowledged the presence of God in his life. We all need the presence of the Lord such that unbelievers will agree the the presence of Hod in our lives. The presence of t

STAY STEADFAST

James 1:12 KJV [12] Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Welcome to the month of June. This month will be to us a month of open doors and divine opportunities in Jesus name. It’s always a special month to me as it is my 26th wedding anniversary on the 3rd and my 51st birthday on the 4th.    It has not been a very smooth ride but I’m grateful to God that in the midst of storms, He always showed up. He didn’t promise that there won’t be issues we can’t handle but He promised to show up and when He does, He calms the storm. There will always be ups and downs but His grace is always sufficient. Don’t give up, there’s no mountain that He cannot move. God is at work. The Lord will fight for you. He will perfect all that concerns you. The journey ahead is still far, your strength will not abate and your faith will not fail. Hold on tenaciously to the pillar that holds your lif
