You are enlisted to succeed and not fail, your word shall come at record time. Be blessed and encouraged as you read.

Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him. The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom (Psa 105:19-22).

Phil 2:13. The pursuit of success in life is the goal of all men but true success is when God succeeds in modeling the image of His son in us. Then it is evident that His dream, plan, purpose and mandate can succeed through us.

Success in the eyes of God is realising the mandate of God for your life, according to God’s prescribed process and pattern in its alloted time by His Word and the help of His Spirit. *True success is when the created agrees with the workings of the creator, the finishing will be according to God’s desired plan*.

Jer 1:5. Your mandate is God’s blueprint of His eternal purpose that you have been called to fulfil, His race that you have been called to run; what you are created for and born to be, God’s dream to give expression to the image of His son in and through you from your set platform of operation in phases and stages.

When the thought and this great plan of God is communicated to you, make no mistake: it is spiritual but yet so real. It is invisible but yet sure and stable, a future reality conveyed in the now, a goal that you dare not miss, a standard raised that demands attention, a word heard from God that lives on through the good, the bad, and most ugly season of life but remains true that her voice cannot be ignored neither can it be silenced.

Gal 1:11-17. Such dream is usually bigger and larger than the dreamer. God is not a respecter of man, age, gender, culture, background, academic or professional excellence, political position, financial status or based on cumulative life experience but simply an endowment of grace by grace, and you do need grace to execute and stay in line with the mandate and run within the lane in all seasons.

1 Cor 2:9-10. Your mandate is not subjected to man’s opinion or popular debate, for how can what is yet be seen be subjected to physical evaluation, assessment, analysis or scrutiny. It is spiritual and it takes those who are spiritually discerning to grasp the reality of God’s thought for you.

1 Cor 2:14. When your mandate is shared with the unspiritual or men with eyes who lack spiritual vision then it is beyond their comprehension. God’s vision is always larger than what man thought of you, the value tag they placed on you, their expectation of you should not be a surprise.

For they may have assessed your destiny vision and rated it according to natural parameters, your past, pain, problem, educational and academic posture, financial status, your biological or spiritual parentage, praise God. Your mandate and God-given task is considered done when communicated to you. Hey, you have started from where God finished, you have just joined the music that is already playing.

2 Tim 4:2. Don’t be silenced, he that believes does not make haste, speak your dream and speak to your dream, don’t be offended or get bitter, it is not personal, it is a spiritual journey, needing grace to maintain a spiritual posture.

John 12:24. The olive must be crushed for the oil to burst forth but the shaft must be discarded. You must pass the test of time and character with freedom from the flesh. Your lowest moment is set up for your lifting, when men say there is a casting down, agree with me, God is your glory and the lifter up of your head.

Job 30: 8-10. It is not unexpected that folks will and may talk at you, your mandate, rise against, call a question, why you and not them, others may confederate together to cancel you so that they may stop the dream, but it is not about you, when they withhold hands of fellowship and fallout with you, do not fear you are not alone God is with you to make good his word.

2 Cor 4:7-16. When your phone stops ringing, and friends and brethren stand aloof, not picking your calls because of fear that you might never make it, and your dream was considered an assumption or ambition, personal pursuit rather than God’s eternal mandate for your life. Rejoice, You are on the right path, stay on, don’t give up or quit the race.

Chill and cheer up, look up, God is committed to performing His word to you and through you. Listen, not an iota of God’s spoken word to you will fail of its of operation. Great image is developed in the darkroom. God is working all things out according to his purpose that cannot be thwarted or stopped.

Admit, the mandate is in stages and realised in phases so are you God’s work in progress, as the work is progressing the reality of the dream is unfolding. Celebrate the season, see every moment from the perspective of God’s eternal purpose. Agree with His workings and it shall be alright, in Jesus name.

2 Cor 4:16-18. True Success is seen in the light of what God says and does with and through a regenerated heart who is envisioned with God’s vision, with willingness to patiently endure the processes and the pain in order to obtain the promise; walking in the reality of God’s word, just because God has succeeded in you, His plan is deemed a success through you in record time. Godly success is from inside out, Amen.

Our redemption has been accomplished in and through Christ.

Eph 1:7. For  “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace”. 

Human wealth and power have been proven to be meaningless in the face of unexpected national or global issue. The soul of man is at stake and apart from redemption, it bears the penalty and curse of death. The pride of man is broken on this reality. Prov 1:7. Death is the great leveler, and none of us can escape it.  a “wise” man, will die. “The fool and the senseless person” will also die. The “fool” is the person who rejects wisdom.  Do not trust in your wealth, an un-regenerated heart  “leave their wealth to others.” Thus to make “wealth” the object of trust is to lose everything in the end.  We affirm by grate the truth of God’s word that all things are possible.  But lately, everywhere I turn, I see on WhatsApp and social media.   This religious saga  What God Cannot Do does Not Exist  is gradually turning men to chase after things rather than the giver of things. When will man begin to seek for His creator. We must be reminded that the souls of men is much more important to God than material blessings.

Acts 10:35 TPT’.  It makes no difference what race of people one belongs to. If they show deep reverence for God, and are committed to doing what’s right, they are acceptable before him.

We are saved not to chase after things but our redeemer and lover. And to also rise up for the salvation of others.

John 7:37-38 ERV. The last day of the festival came. It was the most important day. On that day Jesus stood up and said loudly, “Whoever is thirsty may come to me and drink. If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from their heart. That is what the Scriptures say.”

It is important that we call a question:

• Why are you in church?
• Why do you pray?
• Why do you run from pillar to post?
• Stop chasing after shadows.

The redemption of your soul is much more precious than things acquired or accumulated in this world.  You came here with nothing,your departure from the earth is with nothing. You are an object of a great value.

Look up, our redemption is nearer,much more than when we first began. Be prepared live here on earth with eternity in mind.

1 Cor 9:22-23 ERV To those who are weak, I became weak so that I could help save them. I have become all things to all people. I did this so that I could save people in any way possible. I do all this to make the Good News known. I do it so that I can share in the blessings of the Good News.

Saints, Church is no longer what you think or feel or the way you perceive it in the natural, it must be seen in the light of Christ (the redeemer). It is time to rid ourselves of the old wine of legalism, tradition, religion, boastfulness of riches, pride of life. Looking up to Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith.

John 15:3-4 ERV. You have already been prepared to produce more fruit by the teaching I have given you. Stay joined to me and I will stay joined to you. No branch can produce fruit alone. It must stay connected to the vine. It is the same with you. You cannot produce fruit alone. You must stay joined to me.

Isa 2:2-4, John 15:1-7, Only the discerning saints can perceive church as a place where heaven meets the earth, a place of communion with the father, the house of worship, a centre of divine revelation of Christ, our Messiah and our Lord to those who appear in church not to mark register but with a heart that yearn for fellowship with Christ by the word.  Church, a centre of spiritual transformation by the spiritual meal of God’s word until Christ is formed within us.

Genesis 28:16 ERV. Then Jacob woke up and said, “I know that the LORD is in this place, but I did not know he was here until I slept.”

2 Cor 4:16. It is time to be spiritually aroused from the stupor of self love, pleasure of life and an unending quest for things to chase after what truly matter to your soul.

Luke 12:15 ERV. Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. People do not get life from the many things they own.”

Gen 15:1, Gen 28:14, John 3:16. God’s offer to humanity is Himself including Abraham, His desire is to raise  humanity that he can call His own, manifesting His nature, character, living in on in Him for outside of Him, you can do nothing.

John 15:7-8 ERV. Stay joined together with me, and follow my teachings. If you do this, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be given to you. Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor to my Father.

The proof of our fellowship is evident in the image of Christ that we bear, Every fruit live His life in the vine. Don’t be deceived, God is not mocked, stop chasing after what an un-regenerated heart search for, remember the place of your first love.

John 4:48. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

Saints, look for the miracle worker and be free from the grip of body ministers, who reach your body and do not care about your soul.

Mark 8:34-38 ERV.  Then Jesus called the crowd and his followers to him.  He said, “Any of you who want to be my follower must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you for following me.  Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me and for the Good News will save it.  It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. You could never pay enough to buy back your life.  People today are so sinful. They have not been faithful to God. As you live among them, don’t be ashamed of me and my teaching. If that happens, I will be ashamed of you when I come with the glory of my Father and the holy angels.”

Come out of the cage of ancient deceived, let go of the inner idol, and stop attracting death through sacrifice to the queen of heaven, who cannot save your soul.  Seek ye the Lord, in the time that He may be found.

Acts 4:12 ERV. “Jesus is the only one who can save people. His name is the only power in the world that has been given to save anyone. We must be saved through him!”

John 3:16. Your sin is fully atone for and your redemption is free to receive through Christ’s.   Choose the way of love, the true way to live;  choose Christ’s and live on in His life-eternally .

1 John 4:15-16 ERV. Anyone who says, “I believe that Jesus is the Son of God,” is a person who lives in God, and God lives in that person. So we know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love. God is love. Everyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them.

Don’t only seek to live here on earth,to make more sacrifice to idols who have no power to redeem the soul and die eventually without God. #YouCanStayAliveInGod. #TheWayToGodIsChrist.#DontStayAloof. #JesusLovesYou.#YouAreWelcomeIn. Please build this barn house with us: https://www.pc-pn.org.uk/tpac-project/

Good news: The siege is over, the sanction is lifted! You are eternally free to serve and worship God, living life at His best by the revealed word. Gaining spiritual insight and understanding of God’s will and so bring gain to God

John 10:10. A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

As part of the military strategy, we have seen nations , individual and people, beseiged by their enemies with an intention to cage, confine,  isolate, frustrate, take captive the inhabitants of the land through war, pandemic, political sanction,  resulting in economic downturn, mass death and fear on every side to silence men with the voice. The  oppressive effect of siege, pandemic or sanction is so obvious and its impact is seen wherever it visits. But it’s often forgotten that  greatest siege is when a person, a nation or a people are under spiritual siege of ignorance of the truth that makes free and they do not know what is meant for their peace nor recognise that the price of their eternal freedom has been paid through Christ. They assumed freedom from divine  influence and God’s control;  to do and live as they like, buy what they want when they wanted it but were ignorant that they were bound; nice men, women and families who were deficient of true life and could not discern light have suffered on in darkness; great men according to the worlds view, had battle with things internally, and having purchased at there personal expenses what  seems right and okay at one time for they have the means of purchase but lack understanding or discernent that they have been seduced by the sinful nature that offers temporary gain but a future and eternal pain without God. John 1:9. Innocent but ignorant, sincere in their assumptions but were void of understanding; the eye of the heart lack through light hence they were offered freedom on platter of gold, but yet insisted on their personal perception, tradition, human reasoning, religion and rationale for the siege of internal darkness blurred their vision of seen right and  prevent them from embracing divine light required to know and receive the redemptive freedom that they have read about and be truly free. Hey precious, it ought not to be so.

John 8:32-36.  For if you embrace the truth, it will release more freedom into your lives.”  Surprised by this, they said, “But we’re the descendants of Abraham and we’re already free. We’ve never been in bondage to anyone. How could you say that we will be released into more freedom?” “I speak eternal truth,” Jesus said. “When you sin you are not free. You’ve become a slave in bondage to your sin. And slaves have no permanent standing in a family, like a son does, for a son is a part of the family forever.  So if the Son sets you free from sin, then become a true son and be unquestionably free!

3 King 6, Rev 5:12-13, Heb 12:24.   No physical siege, coup or the enemies army carry out an invasion without a plan. Similarly, the redemption of our human soul from the internal siege responsible for external invasion, was planned before the foundation of the earth to speak for our freedom by Christ sprinkling speaking blood.

2 Cor 3:16-18. Only the revelation of God’s eternal love can free a troubled soul of internal war, to serve and worship God eternally.

Lk 1:79, 11:31-36. The day of playing church is over, Jesus came so that those who are in darkness can see great light; its time to rid yourself of the religion and every other reasons or rational that keeps man in the siege of darkness.  The siege is over: Christ in you is the hope of glory; in His life do we see light. Open your heart this month, embrace divine light and crack and crush internal siege by the hammer of His word; embracing divine truth that was written and spoken by the Spirit for your freedom. Let my people go that they may serve me.  Please build this barn house with us: https://www.pc-pn.org.uk/tpac-project/

Be comforted, strengthened and of good courage; keeping your lamp burning, your faith alive in Christ and the efficacy of His word; running your race with divine zeal and charisma to finish well.

It’s a great day to be alive and the beginning of great future in Christ. Do not hold back.

Every house is build by someone but God is the builder and maker of all things. You are path of God’s building and the carrier of His glory; the representative of God’s kingdom on earth.

We are on a journey, God is on the job. God is still in the business of building life’s today. We are working in progress.

2 Cor 4:6-19. To embark on a journey that sees our life, ministry, career, marriage, community and nation built according to God’s architectural pattern and eternal purpose in this 21st century, without been weary, disouraged, dispared or feeling abandoned or forsaken in the face of conrary pressure and conflict of opinion and interest of this world. It is important that we locate the place of God’s eternal love and the supply of the spirit unto divine fortifiication, internal strength and might in our inner man.

Phil 4.13. Paul says, i can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me.

Without a shadow of doubt, strength is needed for the race set before us in this time and not the muscular strength of man that is founded on the resources, acievement, position or possessions of the created man.

You and i must know that those things are good and could have attracted acolade from organisations or intitutions from this side of the world but they are not at all sufficient to build according to pattern when divine pattern is in conflict with natural patterns and processes.

Mat 16: 16-19, Eph 3:16, Col 1:29. Building our lives, ministry, career, businesses, marriages according to God’s eternal arrangement requires exceeding and everflowing release of sufficient grace overflowing unto supernatural strenght internal to carry on the work in and through our mortal body. bringing heaven to earth and living heaven on earth; excuting divine concept according to God’s eternal order.

Phil 1:21, 2 Cor 4:17-18. Precious listen the unraveling of the eternal love and glory of God seen in the face of Jesus Christ furnishes us with comfort of the Spirit stiring our human spirit, igniting out heart, with passion to keep on keeping on at the expense of discouragement, dispare.

John 6:35, 2 Cor 4:17-18. Hallelujah, Mercy has prevailed for us , as we feast on Christ, setting our gaze on the invisible for the visible pressure you currently feel or are experiencing will soon fade away in the face of our eternity with God.

It is impossible for God to lie, Christ has entered behind the veil, having created a passage way for us through his own flesh. We have through Christ a sure and living hope a sure future stable and settled in Christ.

Receive divine comfort of the Holy Spirit, and keep on keeping on.

Consider This: 

2 Cor 1:3-7.  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; [4] Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. [5] For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. [6] And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. [7] And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

Eph 3:16-21. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; [17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. [20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [21] Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

2 Cor 4:17-18. “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal”.

Phil 3:8-10. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [9] And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: [10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Every product starts off as an idea in somebody’s mind, so true and so real that the dreamer could see his idea becoming a packaged product, with capabilities and functionalities that solves problems, provides answers to questions, generate a high demand from his community or city’s medium to enterprise stores; gathering so much momentum that it’s on most shop windows, nationally and internationally until it becomes a household name in the world’s global village.  The dream to the dreamer is limitless in its reachability, so embarking on the journey after embracing the vision is exciting and every investment of time, effort, money, and life in engaging in the dreamed product is seen as a great opportunity for a profitable future return.  He’s assured of having a viable outcome but needed others to be part of it so that all can partake of the solution, the answer and guaranteed end it provides.  The product is packaged for all and not just for one.

The dreamer was sure of what’s in the package, he was yoked with the architect of the product, he does not just know the package but was sure of the viability of its content and was divinely enlightened by its offerings.  So he was able to talk men through it, from the pulpit to the pew, the palace to the patch lands,  he sold it freely, fearlessly, un-ashamedly; for he knows that embedded in the package is the divine power of God that gives all men all that is needed to have their needs met.

His commitment was unparalleled, his loyalty was irrevocable, He has found inside the package a durable treasure that worths giving his measureless pursuit, so he was deliberate in his actions, determined to risk all; he laid down the accolades, the name and the fame to pursue the only product that he knows is right. It was not assumed to be right but it’s been tested and proven and the quality assurance is eternally guaranteed.  So in spite of countless beatings whether with rod or stripes, frequent unjust punishment and imprisonments, the shipwrecks and drowning in the sea without rescue for 24hours, resistance from friends and foes, the sleepless nights, not having enough to eat and drink many times or clothing to put on, he remained unperturbed; always ready to sell it freely to all for it’s a product for all ages, tribes, nation and denomination, but he is only sorrowful for those who reject the package and unable to access the treasured promises that is available for all; that could fix all problems and concerns of  all types and for those who have once received the free package but never unwrapped it to access the product simply because they have yoked themselves with cunning men with crafty ideologies who have chosen rather to believe in a lie; who assumed they know what they do not, having embraced the pleasure of the moment at the expense of true life and eternal gain.

Apostle Paul remains focused on delivering the package of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with the entirety of the product on the offerings and the many promises to be partaken of by all. For he has teamed up with the Master Architect and the strength of his knowledge of Christ made him perfect in his weakness, instead of being worn out or burnt out, he sailed on the faith of the son of God who loves us and gave himself for us.  For whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in Spirit. (Rom 1:13-20, Gal 2:19-20, 1 Cor 6:17, Psa 33:4)

Beloved, what and whom have you yoked yourself with?

For many yoked themselves with what and whom they assumed they know but their knowledge of what they thought they knew, whom and who they supposed to know remains only a presumption that does not guarantee any desired outcome of their effort and investment; until their partnership passes the quality test of time in time and progresses from assumption to assured partnership for a product that is capable of delivering a viable outcome or a disappointing result to be partaken of.

What result have you seen or have obtained or thinking you might have?

if you are tired or discouraged or feel like throwing in the towel, don’t give up. Here is the free offering of a robust package of life with promises that delivers solutions and answers for all seasons; It’s all in the Book of life; God’s letter to you, written by the finger of God especially for you and I, embedded in it, is the good news that provides remedy for Weariness.  It counts for the life that now is and the one to come.  It’s called the BIBLE, so you can disentangle from the loads of the many unproven assumptions and pursue the timeless truth of God’s word  that walks you through life without falling and failing but qualify us for a far more exceeding eternal weight of glory (John 6:63, 1 Pet 5:10-11)

Consider this:

• “For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. [2 Cor 4:17-18 AMP]
• “Don’t be teamed with those who do not love the Lord, for what do the people of God have in common with the people of sin? How can light live with darkness? And what harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a Christian be a partner with one who doesn’t believe? And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For you are God’s temple, the home of the living God, and God has said of you, “I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.” That is why the Lord has said, “Leave them; separate yourselves from them; don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you and be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters.” [2 Cor 6:14-18 TLB]
• “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep Company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” [Mat 11:28-30 MSG]
• “The Lord replies, “I will arise and defend the oppressed, the poor, the needy. I will rescue them as they have longed for me to do. The Lord’s promise is sure. He speaks no careless word; all he says is purest truth, like silver seven times refined. O Lord, we know that you will forever preserve your own from the reach of evil men, although they prowl on every side and vileness is praised throughout the land” (Psa 12:5-8 TLB).

The woman’s womb is designed and configured by God for every child delivery one at a time. Similarly, the womb that carries identical or non-identical twins whose journey into life through the same outlet is only one after the other, hence, a companion in conception is separated at the time of birth, to taste life as individual uniquely created by God with a unique destiny and blue print that no other fellow could have and with a purpose in life that only him could fulfil.  But the journey through life requires that each one sails with another, whether in marriage as a spouse, family as parents and children, in the market place as employer with employees, socially as communities of people, or friends; so different levels of relationship is developed according to the choice of companion that was chosen. (Gen 25:21-26, Gen 2:18)

David’s choice of companion were the mighty men of David and Jonathan; the risk takers and God fearers who stood by and supported him as destiny helpers to keep the throne of Israel and had success in every battle and win every war for they feared God and do not need to fear man or their circumstances.  Hence, David could say without shame that he was a friend of those that feared God and kept the commandments of the Lord.   For “he who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm”; for it is possible to learn the way of the fool and be entangled in their web(2 Sam 23:8-39, I Sam 18:1, 20:16-17, 2 Sam 1:26, Psa 119:63, Pro 13:20)

Many choose their friends, companions or business partners based on what natural senses have seen, heard or felt but with no sence of divine perception; some perceived but lacked understanding of what they had perceived; therefore were undiscerning and have found themselves journeyed with strangers and enemies that projected themselves as friends, men who did not fear God nor have respect for life. Their companionship and friendship has only led to perpetual issues, trouble, pain and a lifetime of horrors that they wished they should never have met the ones they have journeyed or partnered with; for it takes good perception and discernment to make the right choice of companion and friendship.  In order to avoid choosing an enemy as a friend or be a companion of fools that could lead to an unending cry to be rescued from strange children such as was in David’s camp; his best adviser Ahithophel who later decamped and partnered with his rebellious son Absalom to dethrone David from the throne of Israel. (Psa 144:7-8)

Who IS Your Friend?

Beloved, the company you keep would determine what you become and are able to achieve or secure for generation yet unborn.  For bad company corrupts good morals; it is time to check who is your friend and what companion you are keeping. How have you located your friends or how have they located you?  Locating true friend and journeying through life is dependent on locating the True God through Christ Jesus, who knows all men.  You might say that I know him and I have been born again for a short or long period of time, but Jesus clearly states that the knowledge of him requires true and continued followership; this is a life time journey for those who follow Him are assured not to walk in darkness but have the light of life.   Let us follow the footsteps of Paul, who in-spite of all his achievements embarked on life’s journey with a quest to know Christ, His Power of Resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering.  He operated with perception, discernment and understanding with divine precision, for he came into visions and revelation of the Lord often and was therefore guarded and led continually.  He grasped an understanding of his DIVINE purpose, faced his daily activities with confidence, connected with and kept company with those who feared God. He was served by trusted sons like Timothy, Onesiphorus who refreshed him; he served the churches even in his chains and through beatings but yet left an impact on his world. He followed the footsteps of Jesus who knew all men and did not give himself to them, for Jesus knew what was in men, having the right perception, understanding and discernment which were an expression of the Holy Spirit.  Who produces in every believer in Christ the proof of sonship in wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge; and the fear of the LORD?  Jesus encountered the Holy Ghost at baptism following His obedience to God, therefore it is required that you and I continue to pass the test of obedience such that we can be daily filled with the Holy Spirit, who is the proof producer of our sonship in God as He is the executor of the will of the father which is the Word of God given to you & I. As a result, we could possess divine perception, understanding, discernment and wisdom as we walk through life with precision and not snared by wrong companion or lured into friendship through deception.   Do you know your friend? (1 Cor 15:33-34, John 8:32, Phi 3:10-14, 2 Cor 12:1, Eph 3:3, Gal 1:12, 2 Tim 1: 2, 16, Eph 6:19-20, Isa 11:1-5, Mat 3:17)

Consider this:

• “But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man” [Joh 2:24-25 NIV].

Here she appeared in the middle of the only life manual there is; in the season while the prophets rush to tell us her story. She started well; connected in marriage to a man created and possessed by God from the country of Ephraim whose origin not only speaks of double fruitfulness; but also carries the divine proof of the covenant of fruitfulness even in the land of affliction and had seen the end of generational delay in fruitfulness and barrenness.  Her gentle, obedient and submissive character enabled her to ride on the wings of grace according to her name being loved and cherished by her husband but was yet to gain trust and confidence in the love of her Maker who is the giver of every good and perfect gift (Joh 15:13, 2 Pet 1:2, Jam 1:1:17).

Her husband’s overwhelming love could not address the issue of her life that needs solving or terminate the shamefulness, the reproach, hostility and the mockery of barrenness in the hand of her adversary.  She was among many people but still lonely, accepted but yet felt abandoned, respected and honoured but yet felt insignificant. She was meant to feel safe, secured and satisfied by her husband’s love, but yet felt insecure, embarrassed and humiliated.  A woman with a womb but without an evidence of fruitfulness as promised by covenant to Abraham, by an oath to Isaac and confirmed to Jacob, even though she is aware of the scripture “There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land;” She was yet to connect with the God of the promise, accompanied others to church, appeared in a place of rest but restless and troubled, while others were feasting, her appetite failed her for food for her many sorrowful thoughts. She had connected to religion, tradition and culture; seeing her adversaries’ children reminds her of “this one thing” that needs divine intervention in her life but the depression and distress of  her barren womb persisted, until she took her eyes of herself and she was mindful of what was in the mind of God, poured out her request unto God she remain a regular Shiloh attendee, but no proof to show for it.(Gen 41:52, Exo 23:26a, Psa 128:3, Jam 4: 1-3, Eph 5:15-17, 1 Sam1, Mat 11:12)

She rid herself of selfish desire from a need to prove her adversary wrong for mocking her but connected with God in prayer through her vow, she offered her expected fruits of prayer as a sacrificial gift unto the Lord Service for “In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.”  After which the word of the Lord came to her by the prophet Eli in response to her prayer with an answer of peace, she embraced the divine word by faith, ate and went home joyfully and her countenance was no longer sad.  “So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.” (1 Sam 1:10-20)

Beloved if there is ‘still one thing’ that makes your heart sorrowful, keeping you awake in the night time with loss of appetite and at the expense of your health, because you have a problem that is yet to be solved or a question that needs answering even though you have the promise; you have appeared in church often and served or participated in many church activities;  but you have found yourself distressed and discouraged, turn on the light of God’s word in your heart and embrace the wisdom of God in Christ Jesus as you connect your desire to meet God’s desire to have a voice on earth. Like Hannah, God through her gift of Samuel terminated the scarcity of the Word of God and raised Samuel as the only prophet whose word did not fail without finding full expression.  Be an instrument of Kingdom advancement, and no good thing would be withholding from you.  Light is arising for you even in the darkened season of your life and you shall yet laugh again. Stay connected with Jesus.  (1 Sam 3:11, 19 Cor 1:24, Mat 6:33, Psa 112:4, 1 Sam 1:10-11, 1 Sam 1:10-11, Rom 8:26-28)

His father sowed the seed of rape and murder, covered it assuming it was hidden from all but unaware that it was not hidden from God for he who concealed his transgression will not prosper. David was confronted by Prophet Nathan, he admitted his wrong, confessed the same and was forgiven, mercy overrides judgement, his confessed sin became a forgiven sin; nevertheless, the product of adultery died and the consequences of his adulterous relationship resulted in incest, rape and murder within his own four walls, among his own children. (2 Sam 12:1-21, Prov 28:13, 1 Joh 1:9)

Ammon, David’s son developed an uncontrollable sexual appetite for his own sister Tamar. He disrespected her person, stripped her of her purity and virginity, deceived, abused and raped her, disgraced, humiliated and forced her out in shame, left her heart broken, battered with defilement, homeless and glory-less without any regret or remorse but became hateful.  Ammon’s quick gratification of the flesh left his victim with looking for one that could comfort and cover her nakedness and shame.  It made her angry brother Absalom, the only one she was able to uncover her defiled experience to, accommodated her but with a plan of revenge, sponsored the death of his own step brother Ammon without fear, hence the defiler was destroyed.  David did not teach neither did he encouraged his children to follow after his previous misdeed of which he had repented, but as long as the heaven and the earth remains, seed time and harvest never seize. David sowed the seed of deception, adultery and murder and reaped the pain, shame and reproach of Tamar’s defilement, sorrow and grief of Ammon’s death and worry of the runaway son for three years (Absalom). What a dysfunctional family! (2 Sam 13, Prov 28:13, I Cor 3:17, Gen 8:22).

David did not teach it, but in the world today we teach sexual behavioral pattern in schools with a notion of encouraging kids to stay out of trouble, as a result we have created awareness of sex at an early age. Assuming that such educative programs would eliminate sexual related issues and prevent teenage pregnancy, the spread of sexually transmitted  disease STD, (including  HIV/AIDS, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, human papilloma virus, and syphilis), but statistics confirms that sexually transmitted disease is on the increase  even though the society welcomed it, the media advertise it and media house recently planned to start a new program  called “sex in class” with objectives to shake up sex education in school by working with the 15 to 16 years old to put together the basis of what could become a properly approved GCSE”, while a political party in England proposed the notion  that “all children in states schools should get lessons about sex and relationships from the age of seven”.

It is written, the good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. But the authorities, parents, social media and education systems are exposing our young children to sexual behavioral pattern at an early age, enriching manufacturer and retailers of protective sex products at the expense of the innocence of our children who were ignorant of trading away their glorious and beautiful future but desire what they were taught in school at an early age.  Subsequently, we have seen an increase in the rape of kids by other kid, gangs or adults at home, in schools, religious and social places regardless of sex, murder on the road side and in the park, turning our supposedly safe community to an unsafe place for kids and young adult to grow. Having refused to show our kids the right way to go, we have prepared them to live like adults while they are still in their formative stage.

The problem we were trying to solve has created issues with expensive consequences resulting in health, material, financial impact moral and social degradation, when we should have trained or train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  “A survey of 11-to-14 year-olds found: 51% of the boys and 41% of the girls said forced sex was acceptable if the boy, “spent a lot of money” on the girl; • 31% of the boys and 32% of the girls said it was acceptable for a man to rape a woman with past sexual experience; • 87% of boys and 79% of girls said sexual assault was acceptable if the man and the woman were married; • 65% of the boys and 47% of the girls said it was acceptable for a boy to rape a girl if they had been dating for more than six months” .(Luke 6:45, Pro 22:6)

Parents, It is not enough to just give our children education, entrust them to the school system, buy them toys, take them to movies or to religious activities; we should instill in them the act of Godliness through teaching, training and personal modeling of the truth of God’s word before our kids, not forgetting that they are God’s heritage.  It is paramount that we know the truth in order to give it, but the giving of the truth is only possible for those who have it and live it.  For a man can have nothing except it has been given to him from heaven, So you can search the scriptures to find out what has been given to you by God.  “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” including raising up our children. (Psa 127:3, John 3:27, 2 Tim 3:16-17)

There are many voices and choices that significantly influence our decisions, here is my appeal to you, choose right, “don’t turn blind eyes” to what is going on in your home, around you, in church or in your community or nation, the deception, rebellion, abuse and rape are not to be ignored but corrected on time.  Unlike Eli who failed to correct the wrongs of his children but suffer a loss of all things including himself, his two kids, daughter in-law and the ark of covenant of God on the same day, let us tackle the issue of sexual perversion and degradation today, by aligning ourselves with the word of God and secure tomorrow’s generation colourful destiny; preventing their lives from being defiled, polluted, and their destiny from being aborted or destroyed. Like Abraham, you and I can raise our children and household right and promote righteous living in our land.  It is safe and inexpensive to do so, except our continued commitment to the truth. We should buy the truth and sell it not. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people (1 Sam 4:14-22, Prov 23:23-24, Isa 55:1-3, Pro 14:34).

Consider this:

• “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith”. [Gal 6:7-10 KJV]
• The LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed “For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.” [Gen 18:17-20 NIV]

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? for ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. [1Co 6:15-20 KJV]

The act of touching is known and experienced by all; for everyone participates daily in an activity that requires touching or been touched deliberately or unexpectedly when discharging professional, academic and medical responsibilities or relational and parental care.   Every act of touching is aimed at achieving an expected result, but many touches without an expectation, while others touch from a fearful heart, yet everyone will have their result according to their reason for touching.  Everybody might be touching at the same time, but individual knows why they have touched; who they have touched and their expected result.

The floods may have lifted up their voices and their pounding waves; a deliberate and determined cry of faith in the ability of God to make His word good in the midst of all the issues of life would wipe away tears, dry up the flood of affliction, distress, trouble, sickness, pain, problem, poverty, sin, shame, sorrow, stagnation and oppression; for “God is mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the Lord on high is mighty”.  He knows who touched Him and the reason behind each touch and which touch should trigger a release of power, a flow of virtue that turns all things around for the good of those who love, trust and have faith in Him in spite of the crowd.  For every one of God’s word is backed up by all the honour of  His name, so He is mandated  by covenant to answer when the righteous call upon him to deliver them out of all their trouble. (Psa 93:3-4, Psa 138:2. Psa 107:1-9)

Her issues had been going on for twelve years and her hope of recovery had dwindled, having touched with what she had; exhausted her savings in exchange for medical treatment.  She endured several painful touches in the hand of the doctors with a hope of recovery which resulted in financial drain; instead of getting better she got worse until she is bent over.  She was sapped of energy, strength, her good health and money until she heard of Jesus at the pick of her trouble when her life was almost taking. The testimonies of the wonders and signs performed by Jesus stirred up hope in her even though she was physically weak; she became spiritually sound in her thought and imagination; she determined to have her flow of issues, the bleeding of twelve years dry up.  As a result, she was quickened in her almost fainting soul by the spirit of truth to touch Jesus not with her money this time, for she had ran out of funds, but by her faith in the midst of the crowd with an expectation for recovery and wholeness; Her singular touch of faith on the greatest physician of all despite the crowd, released virtue for her recovery and total deliverance from all her trouble; her twelve years of bleeding dried up and her expectation was not cut short. (Mark 5:25-32, Heb 11:6, Pro 23:18),

Beloved, if you have touched man or things with what you have and all that you have had; your money, knowledge, name and fame or you have spent and are still being spent but have been left with an imprint of an unending pain; if you have been abandoned, dejected, discouraged, weak, financially broke, helpless and hopeless with no sign of recovery. You can touch Jesus today with your measure of faith on His promised word for your salvation and recovery and see the plague seize and everything turning around for your good. (Rom 12:3b, Mat 7:7-11)

Consider this:

• “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” [Heb 11:6 NIV]
• “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles” [Psa 34:17 NIV]
